THE ULY 07 HIGHLAND.
BT MIMXII r. BEAVERS.
There fa In one of the valtoya of
lligland,an old red mansion, for manr
years the home of the Malones. It ts
urroundod by tho most delightful and
picturcsqao scenery, and ritcs thero in
shadowy light of leafy trees.
It was a starry night in tho Jane-time
trhen this trco-encirclcd home, nestled
o sweetly in that green rale, was bril
, liantly lighted an ; tor 'tw.is tho bridal-
eve of fair Lily ilalonc! They seemed
tobe very happy, the bright throng;
for the sound of music and revelry ech
oed far out among the silent hilla. Bui
all were not j 03-0 us there. Amid that
gay assembly, ono whito face bowed low,
and a young heart grow heavy with itt
&rht great orruw.
The light of more than nineteen Um
mers could not have dawned upon the
life of Marcus Hydra ; for the 5'outhfui
cast of his countenance told that ho had
not yet come to the ago of manhood.
Yet even in boyhood ho had cherished
sv weea dream of lore, which faded
from his youthful heart, and left it lone
and desolate, when Julian Vernon call
d Lily Malone bis wile. Ho could net
blame her br loving that handsome
dark-eyed nan by her sido; but the
wect spirit-voice of love would echo
raourr. fully in his heart, over its dead
Lope.
As they gathered around the young
bride, Marcus too pressed through tho
crowd, and he held Lily's hand within
bis own. A wild yearning throbbed in
the boy's heart, a yearning ho could
.not resist and his lips rested for a mo
ment on Lily's brow. A whito rouo was
. misplaced, and fell from her bridal
wreath, scattering tho snowy petals at
ber feet. ,
'I will replace it by another," wlis-
- percd Marcus, and was gono. I know
not whether Lily thought it significant
of her own destiny, but sho sighed ; an3
then a half-mournful stuilo flitted over
her face aa Marcus approached her again
. and placed among her dark curls a white
rose-Dad ; saving, as ho did so.
M 'Tis more bcütting you, Lily. It is
emblematical of your trusting youth
; and early love. A the perishmg rose,
no may your first nope lade ; j ct tuey
shall live again."
. Lily looked op wondcringly at the
voung flushed face that was bent to-
: wards her ; but lor only a moment, for
be passed through the crowd and was
cone. A lew minutes later ho stood
- out in the vard. leaning arrainst a tree
The flush had faded lrom tho earnest
face, for tho moonlight shone upon it,
and it was pale, very pale. Tho night-
"wind rustled through the branches of
the tree, chanting a low, pensivo music,
to which he once lovea to listen. It
, . teems mournful now, and stirred in his
tcart the memory of tho old time. Tho

"I hopo yuu'll think 80 aflcr a wliilo.
Lily; fur wbon Iget to bo a man, I
intend to call you my wifo," Lo whinp
ercd. Then the littlo Rlrl grsn thy. The
flush (amo to her check also, ard jirin
in from h!i cmbruco, tho echo of licr
lifht, fleet footstep soon died away us
he returned to tho school-houso. llo
thoaght of this as he stood thcro, and
of tho joyous times they had (pent to
gether, till Lily was fifteen. Then thcro
varue to her homo that fascinating artist,
with his burning;, beautiful eyes, and
Lily changed. And ho seldom wander
ed with her any rnoro over the hills and
Tttlleys of her homo, for tho handsome
stranger evor lingered by her side.
How beautiful eho was! Her eyes
were ever radiant with tho love-light,
and her voico was sweet and tremuloug,
as she lunpr, not for him, but for Julian
Vernon, ileraory went back to that
evening when ho met her alone, in the
old woods for tho last timo.
MLily, Lily," ho had pleaded, "do not
leavo me I I cannot giro you up."
Her hands were full of flowers she
had gathered there, and ber dark eyes
wcro bright ; bat tha flower dropped
to tho ground, and her eyesrew misty
with tears.
You will soon lurct me, Mark, and
find one more worthy to journey by
yourbido. I lovo Julian: I cannot help
it."
She laid her soft hand on hi brow,
and pressed her lip to his check In sis
terly tenderncaa.
"I'orgivo mo, Mark, forgive rao, If I
causo you pain;" and her white dress
fluttered down tho hill-side . to her vul-lC3-home.

There was a holy, calmness on that
young face, a spiritual glearn in the blue
eyes, as they turned toward the stariy
skv. . . ..
llo rcmcmlcrcd his fuller's words to
him in a dying hour.
"You will be a minister, ray boy.
You will fill my place when lam gone."
And when Marcus Hydra went out
from beneath the tbaduw of tho tree,
to trule with the world alone, W
brow, though pule, was tranquil: but
glorioas rewires fluttered in his heart,
and high thoughts found a homo there.
Three yenn passed away, bearing on
their swift pinions many changes. But
the wreath of love rusted on the awoct
brow of Lily Vernon, for it was still
care free, and her mcrrj laugh rang in
her bcautitul home, us it a d ot old in
tho valley cf Upland. Tiare is u misty
light in the ludy s dark ryes, a dreamy,
thoughtful shadow on her brow, as she
half reclines on the low window-sill,
this night three years from her bridal-
evo.
Lily's heart Is with the pst, and the
old-time memories aro crowding thickly
around her. Sho remembers that but
a few months of her wedded lifo had
passed away, when the dcathlcw ener
gy of her spirit was aroused by some
infidel remarks of her husband, spoken
in her presence. Then a wild, sad mu
sic swept through her soul, and such a
deep weight of sorrow had quivered in
her heart. But, in the impulsive earn
estness of her young life, sho roe up,
and whispered to herself, "The motive
of my lifo shall henceforth be pure and
holy; tor Us ono great dream will be to
a a a aa 1 .a
avo nun, to awuken mm nom this
strangv, unhappy delusion." It waa a
hard struggle, and .Lily s loving heart
would sometimes crow hcav, as sho
would attempt to eradicate tho deep and
baneful prejudices, from her husbands
mind.
That young head wonld sometimes
bow in anguish, and the t.ars gush from
her eyes, as tho thought of that Killed
mind, so poisoned bv infidelitv. its no-
blest and best powers fwttcrcd by this
unholy chain. But sho found no rest,
till tho light of immortal hopo beamed
in tho dark eyes she loved so well, and
that haughty spirit bowed in humble
submission to its bod.
And haut thou, Ü fond wife, a husband
loved, but whoso life is not in actor
danco with tho teachings of tho lowly
Nazarone? And dost thou ever think
. 1 A - . All
01 tne greai eternity 01 oitss or woe
that is in store for tho dailing ono ?
Aud when gazing into the eyes of love,
the eyes that aro so bcautitul to theo in

sweeps back tho Mark hair from tho

heart and meek and quiet spirit. And

of Infidelity. And I was thinking ol
my glorious triumph, Julian, ol wia
nhiX you 'from' that datlc path, by a
power not my own, but His who
strengthened me for tho sacred mission."
Mr wife, my wifyl how can lover
repay you 1 Through tho power of thv
Moat High, you havo saved mo. And
oh 1 I sometimes think, it I could por
tray on canras tho raro virtues i f your
character, I would be satisfied. But,
Lily," and his dark, bright eyes wero
tearful, "I Intend to execute a painting
for you; and If I can only give the light
of invpiration, tho truth and lon of
your aco, darling, it will bo my great
est picco of art ; and then it will be
something to keep in rcmembranco of

"Julian I Julian! do not talk thus."
"I cannot help it, Lily. The convic
tion of truth will forco itsell upon my
mind : and I hear a voice a voico that
must be obeyed calling me henco Irom
the bright world and from you.".
A sou of anguish guttlied from the
palo lips of thoyoung wife ; and ho lift
ed tho bowed head, tho artist husband,
and laid it gently on hit bosom; and
oh ! there wus such a light of lovo in
his dark eyed, such a depth of lovo ex
pressed in tho tones of his voico, us he
plead with Lily not to weep.
'For you bco, darling," ho whispered,
you havo taught tue the way.
It
has
been beautiful and bright to
us;
but
wee) not that it should be brief. 1 would
gladly linger hero lor your sake, but
tho destroyer, Lily, tho destroyer, con
sutnjiti'jn, is causing my young life to
fade."
Yes, the destroyer was "feeding upon
his vitals." Jt revealod itselt in the
quick coming and fading flush, that
flashed over his lace; in tho brilliant
ightof tho beautiful yo, theeyo whose
misty brightness Jjily would gaze upon
eno Knew not wny. . cuouiu uuv uream
that diHcuso was wanting that noble form
in youth, and speedily learing it lo the

strong energies 01 youth, wcro giving

on the vcrtro ot lime, ma luitu grew
ßtronirin its trust in Uod.
And so tho bright summer days wan-
cd by, and Juliun was executing hit
ist paintinff his Lily. It was fiuMi
cd al last, and ho gazed upon it with
gratification ; for it was indeed a true
representation Ol lmwilo. lue sweet,

oh 1 it is stielt a joy thus to be united.
But thedeuth-angul lingered near the
artist-husband :

Lily swept back the raven hair from
tho whito brow, und picsscd her loving
lits thcro. Ho looked up and smiled ;
and oh I thero was something touching-
ly beautiful in that last smile ; then the
llgnt weni out. irom niv giunuus vji-s,
and that immortal spirit fluttered home.
One wail of anguish gushed frcm tho
lips of the wife, and her head bowed
o'er her dead husband.
They clothed that noblo, beautiful
form in tho "garments of death, and
laid him down to rest in tho quiet grave.
Luv s sorrow was bitter, at Urtt ; but
as years woro on, nor gncx ix-earno a
hallowed memory in her young heart
Not that sho had forgotten. Oh I there
is a music in the ton oh ol a dying loved
one ; a glory in the lust lading gleam
of the eye, that a loving heart can never
forget. And wj lily heard that music
in tho (till night ; and lifted her young
head Irom her pillow, gazing irom her
window at tho stars, as it tho inc. od .
of his voico camo to her in tho whisper
ingsoftho night wind. And her eye
would dim with tears, aiTiuTiimi nation
sho saw that seraphic smilcathafi hover
cd over 'hat husband'sJNit.tuance, o'er
tho glory 01 1110 nad luaed irom it lor
ever.
Four years had passed away ; and
theso four years Lily had spent in her
old homo. But sickness camo to that
valley, and she was tho victim. Her
eyes grew burnirgly bright, hcrcheeks
crimsoned with fovor, and sho was de
lirous. Her talk was of tho past.
"Mark," the said, "let us wander
through th fM word moo mr nncl
,-ch.Ler
let mo gofto meet-
d well co, prtixa, and
0 wild flowers on tlK rWks, as
rcome back: they'll bo beautiful 10

She threw her whito arms around
tho old man's neck, as he bent over her
in her old childish way, and her fever
ish, burning lips wer pressed t his. ..
"You may; go.'darnv.'- '-"i

for tho doctor had said that morning,
if Lily did not get better soon shccould

morning; for ho who went a bojj, from

much changed, the young mlhU'cr that
sits in the pulpit, this fair ly morn
ing. Ho has grown tall and lately ;
but tho brown curls, though somewhat
darker, and the blue eye aro the same
that belonged to Marcus Hydra tho boy.
And tho people are changed I thought
Marcus, as ho gazed upon the snowy
locks of aged brows, and the sunny
curls of maidens littlo girls when he
left them. But ho mUsedono face, that
he was wont to seo there in , the old
days. Why was sho not there? He
had heard that sho had l.iu-ic"jJi'trhus-rJ

and he could not still tho .vush of
thought that glowed in his heart, whis
pering that she yet might bo his, for
her iutmory had never faded from his

Marcus Hydra soon learnt-d of Lilr's
illness, nnd hastened to her homo; and
a terrible fear gathered at his heart, and
paled h m brow, as he bent over the loved
girl of his Youth.
The vital energies of life wero giving
away. 1 he white arms sank powerless

"It is tho sl.ep of lifo, or death,"
whispered the doctor. And then they
bow ed there together, the father's aged
framo quivering with grief, while the
young minister prayed. And, oh, such
a prayer I its solemn music rang thro
the still chamber, sometimes mournfully

And sho told him there, and some
thing of sadness trembled in her voico,
"that the light of l.js,ryrf-W never
baquito so beautiful to her.'as tho dark
ones that wero closed in death." Told
him that tho brown curls that rested
abovo his brow, could never bo quito so
prized, ns the midnight lock fcho had
sovcred from tho deaf head nov pillow,
ed in tho colli n. "For, Marofis,, sho
said, "the memory of early lovo is sweet
and its light never went out rom big
dark eyes, till it went out in death.
"1 ask none of that lovo which has
gono down to tho grave of the early
lost. Thjro let it remain. But may I
not compensato in some measure, for
that which is Iot to you till j'oa meet
up yonder?" Again that earnest face
was lifted towards tho skies ; and the
light which retted on it was l.oly nnd
beautiful.

The I)uchess of Sutherland was,

beauties in Dngland. Lady BleRsin
ton was, xo r.cr mind, a beautiful wo
man. Kings and nobles were at her
feet. She was . very voloptious. WkA

of agoidea. gho had a beautiful hand,
and was very proud of it, and eyes that
captivated wvery one. In Italy they

Tho ladles of I ranee aro not so beau-

and if all the ladies only possessed it,
they would actually govern the world.
The art of pleasing, and of refined
manners, was tho firt study cf a young
French girl. Still, Franco is not with

study for an artist. Eugenie, the pres
ent Empress, is handsomer still. When
sho last saw her feho was ono of the
wittiest, liveliest little things sho ever
saw. All the portraits of her die bad
ever seen made her too tall. When she
knew her in Madrid, before her marriage
with tho Emperor, sluwus much cap
