Bat, there, I will not scold you.
Good night, dearest,” and Philip
Gilbert, my betrothed, pressed bis
first kiss opeu my lips.
lu the fullness of an almost per
fect happiness tears came into my
eyes as I turned into tbe honse, and
asked myself, have I lived tbe last
few moments in a dream, -or is it a
reality—bas the love so long yearn
ed for been given to me at last * I

I was some years older than be, and
had never been regarded as a beau
ty. Tet be bad asked me to be his
wile. Aud yet, and yet in the soli
tude ot my own room that night
more than once this though t occurred
to me: Will onr union secure my
futnre happiness after altl He was;
a man of quick aud generous im
pulse, but with uo stability of pur
pose aud little strength of charac
ter. Those who believe that a girl
is bliud to the faults or weakness of
her lover, know very little of my
sex. 1 had formed, peihaps, a truer
estimate of Philip Gilbert’s charac
ter than oue of bis most intimate
friends. Still 1 loved him with all
ray heart aud soul, and tor no bet
ter than a woman’s teasou—because
1 could uot help it.
My cousin, Gertrude Harland,
arrived on tbe morrow. Her tath
er, a lawyer of some prominence in
Boston, bail but recently died, aud
wheu Ttya learned ot her bereave
meat, my own dear father insisted
that the orphan child of his only
sister should mak j her home be
neath his roof. I had not seen her

a brunette, witb Hn..almost perfect
ly Greek protylet aud tbe pure olive
complexion, yvith Juata touch of
ooldr to give it wkrinth, so rkrely to
be seen by American women. The
old farm-house’where 1 bad lived
since my tether, Mr. Maxwell, bad
retired from tbe acti ye practice of
his profession, overlooked the Hud
•on, kriibui a short distance of You
kers, a town which had not ranch
ed the importance it has since at
tained. Gertrude was delighted
with her new borne, and was never
weary of dilating on the scenic
beauties ot the noble river sbe had
met. He was away in the northern
K rt of tbe State, negotiating,. I be-
Yey the sals of settle property
which he owued there. How well
fr^ntyher tf<«ing t*at wjtet
idr took place. I briefly introduc
ed them, and with market! embar
rassment Philip stammered fortb
the nsnal conventional phrases. But
his glance was fastened on her face
as sbe stood before bits with down
cast eyes and a demure smile on tbe
fall red lips. ji, :
Philip’s whole attention was giv
en to Gertrude, aud whatever pow
era he possessed as a conversation
alist were exerted, it was evident,
to make a favorable first impression
on tor beautiful cousin. Whew he
had bidden ns good night I went
up to my own room, and with an

“Oh! what a funny name, Mr.

‘ But you would kuow the legend

The day had been oppressively
sultry, and portended an appr< ach
lug lhauder-storm. To seek relief
from an’ ‘aching head, 1 .threw »
shawl around my shoulders anil
left the house, fhe very stillness
of tbe night was paiuful to me, for
uot a breath of air was stirring
among the folliage of tLe t ees.
The full moon of ibe summer uight
threw tbe ’ long gaunt shadows of
the sycamores along the grata, aud
the shadow if a mau and woman,
too, steu ing by the orchard gate..
My heart gave one sudden bound,
and then it seemed to have ceased
its beating. My recreant lover was
“You ueed go no further, Philip.

as mine had never kuowu. 1
uo more—1 remember uo more un

Presently I beard a knock upon

for I dare uot trust mysHf to meet

I beard tbe voices in tbe room be

creased, and the raiu dashe I in
fierce aud fitful gusts against the
window paues, l sauk into a trou

How long i slept I know uot, but
I was awakened by a clamorous
knocking at ipy door and tbe voice
of our old gardner eulMug in terri
