Still antnmn WM it, and the meadow, sl.pt,
Th. mlrty bill, dre.med, and the Meat wood
SefmSd Uitenint to th. wwrow of my mood:
knew not if the earth with me did grieve,
Orlf It mocked my grief that bitter ere.
Then 'twixt my tear, a maiden did I aee,
Who drew .nigh me o'er th. leaf .trewn grass,
Then .tood and gazed upon me pitifully
With grief-worn icyes, notil my woe did pas*
From me to her, and tearlen now I was.
And she, "mid tears, was asking me of one
She long had sought unaided and alone.
Him I knew' not of, and she turned away
Into the dark wood while my own great pain
Still held me there, till dark had slain the day,
And perished at the grey dawn's hand ag*ln.
Then from the wood a voice cried, "Ah, in Tain,
In vain I seek thee, O thou bitter sweet!
In what lone land are set thy longed-for feet?"
Then I looked up, and, lo, a man there came
From 'midst the trees, and stood regarding me:
And, once again, my tears were dried for shame
But he cri.d out,""0"mourner, where is she
Whom I have aonfht o'er every land and sea
I love her, and shejoveth me, and stiil
"We meet no more than green hill meeteth' hill."
With that he passed oh sadly, and I knew
That these had met, and missed, in the dark night,
Blinded by blindness of the world untrue,
That hideth lore, and maketh wrong of right,
Then "midstmy pity, for their lort delight,
Tet more with barren longing I grew weak
Yet more I mourned that I had none to seek.

"Well, Marion 11 hope you are satis
ffed with your*$&Mi%6ftj*' egoljiiinea
Mrs. Besle, bureting into a feeble flood
oftears,as the ohm of the hall-dcor and
the sound of retreating carristje-wheels
upon the gravelled drive announced
that Mrs. Archer's threat had been ear
ried into execution, and she lad left
Ash Grove. ./
Mrs. Beale had heard her daughter
say that she should quit the house, and
had even been aware that preparations
for her departure ere being made
without raising a isingle objection on
the subject but now that it vi&aunfait
4«»mpK--that it was impossible to re
eall Eugeuia for either persuanob or re
mqpstrance, her cowardice got the bet
ter of her offended pride, and she began
to consider what "people" would say,
when they beard that Mrs. Archer had
left her roof like a discharged servant,
at an hour's warning.
"Satisfied!" said Mrs. Elliot, as she
raised her woe-begone face from the
shelter of her hands, and confronted
her mother's gaze "satisfied, to learn
that one, whom I know at this moment
to be dearer to me than any other
earthly thing—that one in whom I be
lieved as my model of all that is most
pore and womanly and straight-forward,
should have deceived ns for so many
months in such a bitter in nner, and be
come frank only to confess that she has
lost her right to any chim on our af
feotiors. Ob, mother if to feci brok
en-hearted is to be satisfied, I am so.
And though I suppose it is best, for
Amy's sake, that my e^es should have
been opened, 1 do not feel as though
oo ild ever forgive the person who has
helped to open them."
"I suppose yeu are alluding to myrefused
dear Antoinette?" remarked Mrs. Beale,
with a return of her former offence
"and, as usual, in any thing but a sis
terly manner. It is surprising to me,
Marion, that you, who profess to be a
Christian, can keep up such a spirit of
enmity with regard.to all that my dear
girl says or does. Antoinette affirms
chat she has the best authority for what
she writes aid it is evident, from the
way in whioh your sister Eugenia re
ceived the communication, that she is
correct. The folly of the.whole trans-
leaving Ash Grove in such a hurry,
that all Fairmead will be talking of the
business before night."
"Would yon have had her remain
here demanded Mrs. Elliot, in sur
prise. "If those stories are false, to re
peat them was the greatest insult we
could offer her—"
ji'^Thoy are ao false!" saii Mrs.
Beale, deoidedly. "Ask yourself if it
oso be so yon heard the answers
which Eugeuia made to my questions."
Mrs. Elliot shuddored.
"If—if—they are true (ah! God
help her, poor girl!), she has still less
reason for wishing to remain in our so
ciety. How could she continue to face
us—how join in our ordinary conversa
tion, our meals, our prayer? 1 Oh no,
mamma! it is far better, every way,
that she should have gone—there was
no alternative Eugenia saw that Her
self."
"Well! certainly, considering all
thing*, and that yon have Amy Elliot
here, I suppose it was the better plan.
But I wish she hsd just waited a few
days that she bad not gone in such a
hurry I am so afraid of what 'people'
willaaj."
'"Ohi let them talk what ean it sig
oilyf" Said Marioo, wearily "that ap
pears to me quite a secondary consider
ation. I am thinking of how we shall
drag oo the next few weeks—of what a
miserable Christmas it will bo without
«I don't see why it need be so very
miserable, my dear," replied Mrs. Beale,
who was beginning to be reconciled to
the state of affairs, and to rev ember
that ber spare room wis again vaeant:
"we area compilable little party in our
aoltos, and now that poor Eugenia baa
laaar-aga-aa*
DEFECTIVE PAGE
chosen to go off in that flighty manner,
I shall bo able to ask dear Antoinette
tj bring down some of the children to
spend their Cbriatmss with us."
But at this proposul Marion started
to her feet.
"Never, mother!" she exclaimed,
energetically "never, unless you wish
to se« me and Amy quit your house, as
Eug« nia has ju*t done. Eugenia may
be deceitful—she may be faulty, she
may be criminal—but I would rather
see my daughter follow her, wherever
she may be, than sit down in fellowship
with the woman, who, under the guise
of friendship, has so injured her char
acter. Antoinette Lennox's stories
may be true—God and time ean only
prove whether they are so or not but
granted it is the case, her't is not the
hund that should be lifte to cast the
fii st stone. We were living
happilytion
and unsuspiciously together Eugenia
had done her no wrong what devil
can have tempted her to set a watch
upon her actions, that she might soil
her fair name in our eyes? I say that,
in the mtin, Mrs. Lennox may be
right but, though I have seen Eugenia
quite the shelter of this root to-day,
and felt I had no right to say a word
that should detain her, I refuse utterly
to join hands of fellowship with the
woman who has been the cause of her'
departure. I despise your daughter,
mother I despise her conduct toward
her husband, her children, and her1
friends and in this unfortunate affair
I read' but another example of her mean
treachery. Ask her to Ash Grove it
you thinkfitto do so—the house is
yours but theday she enters I leave it,
and that forever. Henceforward there
ean be no home for me or mine where
Antoinette Lennox is admitted."
This was just the sort of tirade on
the part of Mrs. Elliot whioh, being un
answerable, had the effeot of making
Mrs. Beale wring her hands and feebly
weep, and wonder what she had brought
daughters into the world for, to repay
her by ingratitude in her Old age. But
with Marion it was a call to exertion
While she thought only of Eugenia
and the bitterness ot her own disap
pointment, she had seemed incapable of
rousing herself from the state of grief
into which she had fallen but with the
idea of Mrs. Lennox summoned to Ash
Grove, to take possession of the desert
ed spare room, and to exult, perhaps,
over the success of her scheme to prove
she was no worse than ber sister, all
her usual energy returned, and she
quitted her mother's bedroom to go in
search of Amy, who was anxiously wait
ing some explanation of Mrs. Archer's
sudden flight.
Her girlish curiosity was quickly ap
peased with some story that was not too
much unlike the truth and then the
household settled down into its old
ways, and as little mention as possible
wa* made of the absent Eugenia. But,
at the name time, Mrs. Lennox received
no encouragement to spend her Christ
mas at Ash Grove, although she sent
forth more than ono powerful hint that
such an invitation would not be unac
ceptable. Meanwhile Eugenia, moe
broken-spirited, if that were possible,
than she had been before, reached Lon

down by the side of her sleeping child

somewhere io the precincts of Totten

slender means. She had arrived from
India with a tolerably well-filled purse
but various disbursements had so re-his
duced it, that she found, to her con
consternation, she bad barely twenty
pounds remaining. And for how long
would twenty pounds maintain them,
she and these poor helpless little crea

prospect appeared oven more formid
able to Eugenia than it might have
done to another woman, and on that
first night, in ber faintheartedness, she
was almost ready to pray that they
might all be taken from a world of mis
ery before her scanty store eame to an
end. She knew thst there was money
l)ing in the hands of McAlbert & Wig
son—more than sufficient to maintain
them in comfort for a year—money,
whioh it required but her signature to
make her own but she never dreamed
of it as hers, or possible to be applied
for her benefit. Sho would lather have

than touch a shilling of it. It Was not

io her eyes, to commit a robbery, and,
if the idea flickered for an instant across
her mind, it was as instantly dismissed.
"No!" thought Eugenia to herself,

been, they shall never have it in their

partaker in that crime and she kept
her resoiutun to the end. Tet, though
it is easy to be virtu ins and heroic

And so she triedto'battle on single

much as she possibly could, and hoping
againsthope that her husband might
yet be touched by the accounts she sent
him, and oometotheir rescue.' *.i

But all this time she blamed no one
so much as herself for the trouble
which bad overtakeu her- bhe knew
that her husband was a despicable char
acter, and that it was by reason Of bis'
laok of hohcr and affection and right

went She koew that if Antoinette

beehmore favorable to her she "felt,
that these two, though in different
ways, had cruelly injured herself, and
that if the! one had Odt, for his -own
selfish purposes, placed ber in a wrong
position, the malice of the other would
have had no power to sting. Yet,
though she acknowledged the evil done
her, she would not allow her mind to
dwell blamefuliy upon these enemies of
her peaoe but, when the obildren were
at rest, and she had leisure to indulge
herself in a few bi*ter tears, would
rather mourn that she had been so weak
—so cowardly, so little to be trusted
as by her foolish awkwardness to permit
suspiciontobe directed toward herself
and bring so much discomfort, and par

It is not to be supposed that, mixed
with her self-aconsation, there did not
come regretful thoughts of Marion, and
the affection bhe had lost io her. They
eame in hosts, and werehone the less
hard to bear because she imagined that
that loss might have been avoided.
And so the weary days went on, each
one dawning and dying without
bringing any news of her husband
or her home, and Eugenia had almost
decided that her troubled must be at
their climax, when little Claude fell
siok of the measles, and she found that
to every phase of misfortune there is a
worse. He Was a delicate child, always
had been, and, from some accidental
ciscumstanoe of oold or mismanagement
at the commencement of the disease,
was soon so ill that medical advice was
absolutely necessary.
Eugenia never once thought, of her
straitened means naturally nervous
and excitable, she was wild with fear
and anxiety about her child, and called
the most able assistance of.which she
knew* And the professional dictum
was not favorable, iftby Claude was
veiy weak, and his tender frame was
battling with tiro diseises at the same
time and it did not require the moth
er's instinct, sharpened by alarm, to see
tbat the. doctor thought his chances of
recovery were small. -•»*.*
And on Christmas Eve he Was at
wont. On that occasion Eugenia
•—who,forseveral days and nights, had
been sifting by his bedside, watching
his labored breathing and attacks of
pain, and in her heart calling God
hard names for being about to take her
darling from her—suddenly seemed to
realise that in a few hours it would be
all over, that the father had a right to
see his ehild before he died.
She had written to toll him of their
boy's illness and1 danger, but had re
ceived no answer and believed that
her letter must be lying at the post
office, in company with the others whioh
she bad dispatched. Surely, had itare
reached his hand, he never could have
resisted snob an appeal! And now
Claude Was going—-eaeh hour he seem
ed weaker than the One before—would
her husband ever forgive her if she de
nied him his natural right to see the
last of his ehild ?, She most, dare every
thing his displeasure—even the risk
of his discovery—-to let him know the
sorrow whioh awaited them. Half
stupefied with grief, she tremblingly
arrayed herself in ber walking-apparel
—drew a thick veil over her face—and,
confiding the little invalid to the wo
man of the house, who had shared ber
care of him during his illness, stole
Ont of the darkened room into the frosy
evening air, and walked as fast as her
failing limbs would permit her in theous"—which
direction oi the lodgings where she had
last parted with ber husband. She
had some difficulty in finding ber way,
for the intervening streets were nnkown
to her but she reaohed the spot at last,
and with ao anxious, harried sir, sod
a voice half-broken by emotion, entered
the dingy chandler's-shop, whioh form

Of course she had written to he**

paintnl position inWhich she Was placed
and warned him of the report of Mr
Cardan's presence io England, which, if
true, she feared boded no good to hiswould
cause. But she had received no answer
to her epistles, nor seen any thing of
Henry Archer himself, and she was
fearful that he hsd ceased to make in
quiries for his letters at the Charing
Cross Post office, or wished perhaps to
break off all communication with her.
She might have gonetosee him at his
old address, but, after his Isst recep
of her and the promise she hads
hen made, she did not dare to venture
in his presence added to which here
was growing up in her heart, alongside
with her fear of him, a loathing and re
pugnance which alarmed even herself.

figure, with whom Eugenia had pre
viously conferred, bad her hands full of
work ss she could well manage, as she
stood behind too counter, weighing out
bacon and chewe, and tying up parcels
of raisins and sugar. -.. •••,.
Eugenia, who at another moment
have shrunk from the rough
crowd around her, only thought how
time was ebbing—how precioustoher
was eaoh remaining moment ot her
child's life, and, boldly pushing her way
forward to the counter, inquired if Mrs.
Barrett's lodger happened to be within.
But the vehement and most unex
pected exclamation by which her ordi
narywords were greeted, made her start
a though she had been shot.
"Within? No, he wasn't within,
nor had been for weeks past.- Thank
Heaven, she had cleared ber house ot
ail such rubbish! Her lodger, for
sooth fine lodger dirty, stinking,
bhek creeter, who never moved hand
cor foot to help himself, but expected
boocst English folk'to wait on him as
though he bad been a lord, and then
walked off without leaving so much as
thaakje behind him, and four weeks
rent owing, besides ever so much as
they bad provided him from the shop.
A rare fine lodger!" Mrs. Barratt
hoped "as she'd seen the last of aich
and perhaps, as the lady took aich an
uncommon interest in him, she'd have
objection fo settle the bill as he'd
behind him which would be but
reasonable after the eare the'd taken of
him on her account." i-_---

Buf when Eugenia hesitated to ful
fil this demand—excusing herself tor
being in A great hurry, and having left
her purse at home—the volley of coarse
abuse by which she was saluted made
her hurriedly quit the shop.
"A lady I Yon ain't no ladyl I
wouldn't call myself sich if I was you!
Well, I'm but common folk, but I
wou'dn't demean myself by taking up
with a black brute like tbat ore.. And

Andj amid loud jeers, foul insinuations
and many an oath, she ran into the
street agaii, thankful to find that she
was free of them. .i
But there, the fright and the ex
citement over, she remembered only
tbat her child was dying—that she had,
failed to find his father, and tbat she
must hurry homeward if she would see
his last breath drawn.
Eagerly—tremblingly—she took her
way back again blindly stumbling up
against passing passengers her heart
beating meanwhile as though her life
were ebbing from her with each throb
notil she re-entered the dark passage ot
the dull house which she now occupied.
All was still as death there was no
light on the stairs, nor movement on
the landing. She stopped, one mo
ment, and laid her hand on her breast

ly—imploringly,-j and yet, with the
power of volition gone, she gazed up at

the figure of her landlady.

days we shall seehim on bis legs again."
At this news, so glad and unexpect
ed, strength and energy seemed to re
turn to the mother's frame and, with
an exclamation of joy, she bounded op
the narrow staircase, and entered the
dilapidated-looking sitting room.
"Doctor, doctor 1" with an earnest
ness that hardly permitted her to draw
her breath "is it true ?—is it ieally

then the light seemed to dance before
her eyes, as another voice than Dr.
Graham's spoke the reassuring words:
'•Calm yourself,dear Mis. Archer

The reaction from despair to hope
was too muoh for her. She gazed up,
for one moment of unspeakable surprise,
into, the face of Geoffrey Cardeo, and
then—with a frightened cry of "Why

yon discovered ?"—sank fainting at his
feet. 77

We noticed briefly when it occurred
the death of the widow of Nathaniel r
Hawthoroe in England, and there per
haps it is best that we should
pause. When the gentle quiet life of
woman such as this ebbs away into
the geutler quiet of death, silence over
her grave has mor meaning than any
requiem. As a oheenal song, cr a
happy day in the Autumn fields, her
memory becomes a pleasant, tender
reality with u? forever, but we cannot,
if we would, impart or share it with
others. There is a morbid curiosity
through the country, however, about
Hawthorne and all that surrounded
him, arising ont of the as yet half ac
knowledged feeling that in him Ameri
ca lost ber greatest poet and it is only
right that this curiosity should be so far
gratified as to do justicetothis woman,
whom if be had never loved Haw
thorne would in all probability have
died undeveloped and unknown.
No biographer of the great romancer
can ever delineate the strange ele
ments of character that mixed them- "J"
selves in him, and were expressed in
his figure and face the hereditary
abnormal tendencies toward solitude
and gloom the almost insane dread of
contact with his fclllow-men the ob
lique and shadowed aspects in which,
as he stood apart, and would appeared
to him. Friendly hands may give us
the outside facts of bis life, the cut
ot his clothes, and attitude and gest
ures which he used to those about him
while trying, out of a keen fear of
being ridiculous, to fit himself with
their alien habit* of thought and
speech butAthe only glimpses left to
us of thu real Hawthorne are in his
books. The man was of his own blood,
alone in tbe world of thought and
has left no kinsman. Between him
and the outer world ctme only his wife.
There was something at once comical
and pathetic in the dismayed appeal
with which he turned to her when the
ordinary business of life bewildered
and jarred on him, and the alertness
And bright gentleness which she served
a* his shield and shelter. She belonged
to one of those oil families in New Eng
land who have imbibed culture with I
the air. She had an intellect of quick
and harmonious movement, which
found apt and pleasant expression both
by her pen and pencil. But there
are so many of whom all this may be
said! Now, when woman seeks
primarily self-development, there are
so many artists and authors! It may
do us no harm to look for a moment
at this one who had no other aim than
to be simply a wife. There is a signifi
cancetoall women in the fact that,
while the genius and idiosyocracies of
ber husband placed him on an entire,
ly different intellectual level from her
own, the infinite love between them
made them one, and fitted her, with
her keen tact and wholesome sweetness
of temper,' to interpret between him
and the world. If it had not been for
that cheerfulness and sunny temper,
which kept daylight about him per
petually, the moody genius of Haw
thorne would never have struggled
through its shadows into light The
world owed a great debt to this wo
man who was contented to be only a
wife.

Uncertain, coy, and hard to please
But seen too oft, familiar with her face,

The aisles are tbe widest we bave ever

Massiveneas of structure, comfort and
