Sabrina's Sorrow.
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.
'If ynu can't leliove ihe man xoi
1 vp, ir would le l'Otlor nut to love liim
at all," !ie .:iM, folilii) :er liamls upon
the I'lilusf r:i!c of tht lialcony in which
we sat. "m!it ami love cannot live
together happily. But you might love
a inan, knowing liim not to lie quite
good, knowing yon were wrong in lov
ing him."
We hal lieen talking over a new
hook, ami Sahrina ami 1 ilifleretl as to
its merits, and the truth of its asser
tions. 'I could not love a man I did not
trust completely," I said.
She shook her head.
"And again, an angel's word could
scarcely make rue doubt one I loved,"
added.
"I have loved a man T doubted; I
have doubted a man I loved," she said.
"If you like, I'll tell you my story."
'' Thank yon," 1 answered, and Sahri
na went on :
'I was! picking blackberries when
sonic one aid, 'Madam, oxcusc me.'"
"There was I in Deb's obi sun bon-
not, th fclrmtrs tioil over the top, 111V
r;"" 1 --, - i-oiiod up,
anil my fingers dyed black with her
ries I had been picking, and tho hand
somest man I had ever seen, speaking
to me over the garden fence.
'.Miss ahem excuse me; which is
Mr. YVoodwarH's house V
"'This is it, sir, only you have come
by the back road instead of the front,
fand t don't bless you for it,)' I men
tally added.
""'Ah:' lie nodded a thank yon.
Can you tell me if Miss Sabrina Wood
ward is at home?'
"'That is mv name,' I said, and smil
ed, conscious that tho gentleman was
trying not to look astonished, and as h
bowed he handed me a little nnsealcd
note, which 1 recognized as a letter of
introduction from my Annt Brinsmade.
''I cast my eye over it, said, 'Very
happy to know 3-on Mr. Alderbro.ik,'
and led the way to the. parlor, wonder
ing how large the rent was I bad torn
in mv dress amongst the bramble really
was, and whether this elegant Mr. Al-
derbrook was looking at it. It was a
brief call. I was "lad of it.
T trust he will never come again.'
I pouted to Friend Hyde, whosupcriii-
tended our menage. 'Such an exquis
ite, and really the handsomest man I
ever ever saw, to catch me so'.
" Thee.was doing nothing improper,
and need not bo ashamed,' said the
(Quakeress.
" '1 m sure I hope he II not rail auain,'
f repeated, meaning that I thought he
would not. But a week after, whom
should 1 see coming up the path but
Mr. Alderbrook. I was becomingly
dressed, and felt glad of the chance to
prove that my finders were as white as
his when they had not been meddling
with blackberries. 1 was pleased that
he should come, I'll not deny, and as
w chatted together, with old grandpa,
between us in his easy chair, old grand
pa, who rememnered when my mother
md his lather tlanced together, and
when people thought there would have
been a match between them, and who
I.I - ' - , 1- r o ! 1 1 tlSIT.l WTttK T,l 1 1
a chuckle and man3- a laugh, and who
told Mr. Alderbrook, too, that thev
were said to he the handsomest couple
on the floor, and that 'the poor trirl
was really a beauty, sir, and my son
won a prize when he married her; and
your father and he were never quite
good friends, sir, though all is fair in
love as in war, and neither was to
blame." I saw him look at me as no
body had ever looked before, and felt
mv heart, beat fast, and felt, quite shy
and frightened, without knownis; why.
He took tea with us that nittht, for we
were old fashioned people, who dined
at twelve and drank tea at six, and af
ter that the pleasnntcst part of the eve
ning having ennie, we walked out to
gether to see the grounds, which were
considered vers- pretty, I leaning on his
ftii.
M can never tell j-ou how I felt as I
leaned upon his arm It was the tirst,
except my gratidfathcr's,which 1 had ta
ken the first voting arm which 1 had
ever trusted in. I felt in anticipation
what it must tic to a woman to l.o pro
tected by the man she loved. Hitherto
all that had been a sort of poet's dream
to my fancy.not to be realized by mor
tal. On that day I knew how it might
come into my life how Charles Aider-
brook might bring it there. I have
never forgotten that walk. I have but
to close my eyes, and I see the gorge
ous garden and gray walls of Wood
lawn, awl the red gold sunset of thu
sky and the green fields beyond, cross
ed by the homeward going kino, and
the swart laborerers from field and
wood, and that handsome tignre hj- my
side again. Alone that night in my
little room, I stood by tho window,
pressing my brow against the pane,
and looking at the white moon.
"'lie looked as if ho liked me,' I
said to myself. '1 feel as though I liked
hiro.' But even to myself 1 would not
say, o shall love each other. Be
sides, I knew I was a simple girl of sev
enteen, leading a very quiet, homespun
life, and he was twenty-eight, and was
rich and stylish ; at first sight a very
exquisite, though in a while one saw
that he was 'every inch' a man, and he
had seen and known every dashing
belle who had figured at Washington,
and it was scarcely likely he should
coiue down to Woodlawn to loose his
heart to a girl who was no belle, even
in her eountrj- circle, whom her old
grandfather thought a child, and whom
he had rir.s.t seen amongst blacklierry
bushes in no attractive plight.
"'Not at all likely,' 1 repeated proud
ly ; 'and I'll never give my heart to
any man until I am sure of his.'
"And then I went to red, and dream
ed of (.'has. Alderbrook all night long.
"Perhaps you won't beliee it, but 1
have dreamed of him nearly every
night ever since. It is strange, I know.
I'll 'login, perhaps, with something very
ditbrent, but he always come into the
dream at last. Sometimes some one is
sudilenly transformed into his likeness;
soni'times, in some terrible danger, I
find him ready to protect me, like the
hu mble Prince of the fairy tale, who
had only to remove his cap to appear
to mortal eyes ; and always he looks
as l,e did that day, his fair hair iu soft
flakes upon his temples, his great vio
let eyes shining through gold-brown
lashes, the realization of some poet's
dream of cavalier of knight, alwa-s.
'When it comes to dreaming much
of an one, you may guess what will
follow. Before long I was the happi
est girl on earth. I had his betrothal
ringnpon my finger. I was one day
to be bis wife. It was our secret vet,
for grandpa was loth to lose his dar
ling, and Charles had said:
" Io not tell him until next spring
he will like me better then.' And I
did not want to tell anj- one, it was
such a happy secret. And to be told
I was beautiful I, who never dreamed
of such a thing to be told that in m-blaclberry-pu-king
guise, in that old
sun-bonnet and apron, I looked lovely,
that he had given me his heart then
and there while I was suffering with
shame that he should sec me looking
so; that he had seen many a bell in full
dress not half but whj- should I tell
the foolish things he said to me. All
lovers make the same speeches, I sup
pose, and every woman who was ever
loved, has been called a beauty in her
lifetime. It's foolish, I know, but it
made me so very happy.
"One day I had a call. A Mrs. Tell
from Washington, who knew Aunt
Brinsmade, was at the hotel for a week,
and I had been to see her, and she came
over in the afternoon to see me, a few
days after. She was ennuied bored
to death, already, she said. How could
I pass the time in such a place T

"'You cant," she answered. Why,

'"Haven't you heard thestorvreaid

such a vulgar creature for her mon

he runs away from home whenever he
can ; passes himself off for a bachelor,
and flirts with every girl he meets.
I'm a little near-sighted, but I feel sure
it was Alderbrook.'

too preoccupied to notice my agita

sat down upon a sofa.
"'Married deceiving me, 1 said.
'She must be mistakeu she must utter
a falsehood ; I never will believe it.'
"Just then I heard a whistle on the
porch a firm footfall pacing up and
down. It was Charles ; I knew that
in an instant. He was waiting for
me.
"'Shall I go?' I asked myself.
"And Love answer I:
'"(Jo truit him; this is all a lie.

"He came toward me in an instant,
and twined his arm about me, and told
me I looked pale, and asked me if I
was ill.' And I could not doubt him
any more than I could tell him what 1
had heard. In rain I strove to speak;
the word died away on my lips each
time; and when he left me he only
fancied me a little out of health.
"Take tare of yourself, my darling,'
he said. 'I could not bear to think of
pain or sickness eoming to you.
"And he kissed me on ray lips and on
my forehead.
"1 wathod him down thcroad. Then
I deliberately stooped and gatherd up
the fragments of paper, and bore

" If he is true I am doing wrong,' I
thought. 'If he is false he deserves no
better.'
'"And I carried the tattered bits to
my table, and pieced them together
carefully. Most of the letter had been
blown away, but I found these scatter
ed sentences :
'I'll endure it no longer It must

"And the signature Mehetabel.
"Alone it would have meant nothing;
coupled with ray caller's information
it was a deadly proof that he was de

" 'It was a'.l over. But I left all expla

from him, and from my own weak

"I knew, badly as Charles had acted,
that I loved him still, and I put myself

One day a letter came to mc a letter
from our housekeeper, Friend Hyde.
Dear Sabkina (it began). I regret
that I am obliged to write thee evil

himself is much injured, and it is sup

"That night saw me once more at
Woodlawn. It was a terrible thing to
see the emptj casements and the tot
tering walls, but rriend Ilydo had
made- the west wing homelike. My
grain 1 father, with one hand hound up
in linen, was there, his nerves a little
shaken, but, as I saw, not material- in
jured. For that I thanked Heaven.
But the first joy over, my neartsieken-
ed. I looked at both of them; they
knew what I meant.
"Friend Hde burst into tears.
Grand father shook his head.
"'He will never see again, my dear ,'

that my old life than nis young sight

"I had saul I would never see liim
more ; I had said I would never breathe
the air he breathed. Now I forgot all
but that he suffered.
"He sat m a great arm-chair with a
bandage over his e3es his beautiful
blue eves with theirgold brown fringes.
His hands had clutched the arms of
the rhair as in some agony. I looked
at him; I drew nearer, and Friend
llyde slipped out of the room. She
knew nothing of the news I had heard
or of the resolve I had taken. I looked
at him again.
"He is the husband of another wo
man,' I thought ; but just then he star
tel.
" 'Whose step is that V he said. And
I sobbed :
" 'It is Sabrina's," and knelt beside
him.
"lie felt mv face all over with his
soft hand, lie look my hands and held
them to his lips. He knew 1 knew the
truth. We said no word toeach other.
I forgot his deceit 1 only remembered
he was blind.
"Anil so I could not tell him then,

and he was better, and grandpa was
busy with workmen employed to re
pair Woodlawn, and Charles and I were
alone for hours together. Never when
tliosf brown fringed eyes were bright
est had I loved them so as now that
tluy were closed forever. Never had
my pain been so great when I clung to
him as my protector, to think that 1
could never be his wife, as now when
he so needed me.
"At last he was able to walk with
me in the garden. 1 Ic I him along the
shady paths, but the sun fell over him
and the soft breeze lifted his fair hair,
and he was sadder thai before. We
sat down on a bench under the old elm,
and there he felt in his bosom and-drew
forth a letter.
u 'This came for me, they' tell me,"
ho said. Whoever wrote it cannot
know what has hajrpened. Will yoa

"He felt for 1113- hand and put the let

"'Who is it front, ffty dear?' he asked.
"I knew the writing ; ray heart sank.
"It is from a woman,' I said. 'Per
haps it is something you would not
wish mc to read.'
" 'I am dependant on others now,
he said, sadly, 'and I know of uothing
1 wish te hide from 3 ou.'
"I broke the seal.
"'It is signed Mehetable Alderbrook,'
I said.
"1 t nought so, said he. 'You have
wever heard o her, have 3-0Q, Sabrina ?
" 'I have.' I canted.
"'It. was an unhaony marriaife, he
went on, 'ami my cousiu was to blame
But she is equalK" so. She is a wicked
woman, and he a foolish, miserable
man.'
"'Your Cousin ?' I faltered.
"'Yes, Sabrina, she is 1113 cousin's
wife. We arc named .ilike, and people
used to sa3 we were more like each
other than twin brothers usually are.
I have often been taken for him. A i

insisted that I was him a few weeks j
ago. No one will mistake ns now. Go j
on, dear girl. She has written to ad
vise nie of 1113" cousin's dereliction from
duty, as usual, I suppose."
"I glanced at the letter; I read the
first line:
Cousin Chari.es If you have come
across that disgraceful husband of mine.
I desire 3-on to tell liim for me that I'll
bear it no longer '
"And dropped the note and flung my
self upon his bosom. There I told him
all. The news that I bad hoard, my
belief in it, nd ni3" doubts of liim, and
my resolve never to sec him more.
'"And that is why you left us so, my
darling,'he sighed. Anil you have been
so kind to mc, believing me a villain.'
"I will never doubt you uio:-e, I
said ; I will never cease to alone for

"lie htted me from his hosom with
his strong white hands. He seemed to
strive to see my face. Then he felt it
fondly :

Then Sabrina turned and looked at
me.
"The author of that book is right,"
he said.

Dear 1i.ixii.l-1 was very much aston
isLed last evening, at about 7 o'clock,
b- the sudden appear:in-e of two men
making their appearance in our bed
room where I sat reading by the sid
ot my wiles leJ with the sudden an
noum eient that 1 had drawn the Opera
house in Chi-ag j. I dunt think that 1
was at all excited by the report. I Lad
a slight ai-quaitiiance with Mr. Bur
roughs, one of the 111011, the other from
Waterloo, was an entire stranger. The
only document ! I.03- brought was a copy
of the Bepiiblican of tho 22d insu,
which had so many accounts of the
matter that I hardly dari-l believe any
of them. H-iwcver, I bore the congrat
ulations of my new friends with com
mendable fortitude and dismissed them
with suitable acknowledgements.
After the lapse of half an hour, I
was the recipient of sundr3-calls from
neighbors and friends in the village, all
highly excited. The report had flown
like lightening and the whole neighbor
hood was in an uproar. 1 bore a hand
at receiving the compar-, answered
their numerous questions with as much
dignity as J could ? .smite and in a state
of semi-unconsciousness of what it all
meant, started oil' to commune with
Frank on tho curious appearance of
things.
I had been fliers lut a few minutes
when a hall was ma le, at the dor,
for Mr. I.ee, "Is Mr. I. ec here?" Well,
1 went to the door and acknowledge I
that I was that person, and went at
him with the question of "What do
you want .' ' l hy, said the poor fro
zen fellow, "I have a dispatch for 3-on,
lrom lie!ie il!e ou have drawn tho
Opera Hou-sc." I received the docu
ment, and, after asking Sally the- priv
ilege of reading it 113- the light of her
lamp, I rea I as follows :
A. 11. Lee, Prairie du Bother, 111:
Crosb-'s Ji era House yours. Hold

1 mentally returned thanks to my
new friend Cbamlu'lain, and returned
home considerable perplexed and not
yet fully conscious of the reason of my
l,e;ng in the 1 a. id of so man3- new
friends, who ail seemed to show bo
strong a desire to show me attention.
But a happy thought struck me, I will
look at iny ticket and see if there really
is anything in it. Well, Daniel, when
I found it. there tho figures stood as
plain as day, ov,('iini, mid no mistake.
Iu the mea:itin,e Joe and Ma had got
hold of the matter, and, !o my unboun
ded astonishment, they received it at
once as a fact. I had undressed im-sclf,
for it was growing late, and was sitting
in my long-tailed night shirt, discuss
ing the events of the evening, when a
thundering knock at the door announ
ce! that all was not over yet. Ma went
to the door aad quickly returned with
the intelligence that "a rr.au" wanted
to see me, and that, he said, I had
drawn "Crosby's Opera House." "Tho
devil," said I, "I wish thc3- had to swal
low the Opera House,'' and after dress
ing m3sclf, went down to receive this
noAv nii'si'in'iT IF,, tiowi'l to me. 1
thought as though I was a man 01
property-, and in suitable style deliver
ed his credentials. I looked carefully
over a very well written letter of six
lines, and derived such information as
induced me to liel!eva that the lucky
holder of i.fiOO was actually about to
become a wan of pTopert3- sure enough
lor this letter caaio from Messrs. Pet
tii & Leathe, "serif as they gay, hy
instructions of Mr. Crosby htraself. I
found this last messenger" pretty welt
informed about tho matter, and after
seeing him eat a hearty supper, id
arrive at that condition when pea
pie generally, are confidential and gocd
natured, I took him aside anl asked
him "If it were a face and no mistake."
lie gave me the most solemn assurance
that there was no mistake about it,
and that "John Meyer, of somewhere,
Bandolph 6trect, Chicago, was a Lam
bug." Very well, Daniel, 33 I am really tha
possessor of ticket No. 58,000 I sup
pose the Opera House belongs to mo,
and I just my to you that it is for sale.
1 suppose somebody wants tl buj- it,
aud I have to ask you to sell it for mo.
It is impossible for me to leave my
wile in her present condition, or I
would go up to you at onco. I must
wait nntil she gets better, whether I
get the Opera House or not. She is
vcr3' ill, indeed, but I think her symp
toms are lavoraWc lor improvement.
At all events, write to mo on receipt
