Her little gar denOnff>rd-id the choicest vegetables; her fruits and berries were deliciou.,; her two cows, sleek and well-fed and indolent; her b:a tr, firm and goldon; her poultry, in good order; hor eggs, fresh an-I abundant; her honey, tranis parent; herielf, her house and yard as neat its a silver half-doltar. Pierre thought his wife an inestimablo treas. ure ; lie hLd never beard of R.Lphnl's Idonua, nur Orommwwl of tho VCu1. De-Modici, wias wholly ignorant that Alary of Sootland and Annie Boleyn ever existed, but in hia ieurt ho thought 1csiic the rarest of all God's creaturos and compared her to Jacob's beat-iful Raohel or to the still love. lier character of Mary of Bethauy who sat at Jesus' feet. Fri.icntly he would steal to the low window in the mill that looked out iloun the cabi! and watoh her as P'ie sat in the doorway, kniuing or soiung as the case might be, or as she run up and down by the old wheel that had beei his mother'r, hummirg the meaiwhile, skeic mourufol ditty or breaking out in some wild and r tp tuons song in i1mi tatinu of the forest birds. It is a gl )rious thing to love as they did. No cloud of distrust, no sha.low of reproach, no poi8onotis simoon of jealonsy ever swept .neross their wedded life. Their thoughts and affections wore centred in each other; their hopes and ambitions ziung to each other, and the prayers that night and morning. aseended to the throne of God, were for and in behalf of cachi other. May camne, enchanting May. The sno w-wreaths of winter had vanisbhed before her warm and fragrant breath and festoons of gorgeous flowers hung in their places. Beautiful indeed was the first (liy of May. The carth seemed to have donned her bridal paraphernalia. The dew lay upon the greeni grass like diamonds upon a bed of oemeralds; the sunbeamus fulling upon the river caused it to glisten like a sheet of quivering gold and the lazy minnows and pere tes sought the shallow plnees that they mlighbt b)ask thenmselves in tile Day God's glorious presence. The willows wvaved gently to and fro, their graceful, feathery branes reflected upon the water be neathi, while the lilies steeped ever and kissed the rivor like merry chil dren at play. Bunt this old muill was silent, no sound disturbed its gloom, the wheel hung mlotionless, the door was elosed, the windows fastened, The angel of lovoliness brooded ov the place. Up at the cabin the as poet of affairs was not more ohoerfal. The angel of death brooded there. The silenee was almost profound, broken only by the soft footfall of a gentle watcher and the great, heart rending sobs of a stricken mourner.. In a darkened room, on a bed whose draperies lookqd white and ghostly, a fair young wifo and mother lay d.ying and over her hung the husband of two brief, happy years. Closely n"stled to her bosom lay a sleeping infant scare. three months eold as sweet and lovely as an augel's smile--a perfect gemi of hesuty upon theo breast of a dying mother. .The sands of life are eTbbing fast, the hour glass is well-nigli exhowAsted. Bessie is- going~ beyond th~e dark river bunt with all her rapidly .diminishing strengih she embraces her husband and child. If she was able she would pour ,words ,of eqnusolp~tion into the strioe6n man's heart, but she is too weak, the death-angel comes, t6o fast, he beers her away . upon his wing. One struggle,: one convulsive gasp, Be,sio has entered in to her rest. Pierre goes out into the sunshine, it is as bri ght and beautiful as ever, the flowors bloom on, the birds warble the zephyrs wove the light branche. over his head, the sprringing grabs kises his feet, but it all seems a ma-ock cry to him. On he goes until he reaches the river's side. In all the wide world it is the only thing that seems to sympathize with him, for it chants a uournful requiem, a solemn funeral dirge. Ahl Pierre it had seemed a light thing to die with 30t. sie and lie with her beneath the same daisy.covered mound after you and she had spent a long life together, but when death comes sudden and unex pected and bears her away from you, how you shrink and shudder and re coil from the future whieh loonis up black and gloomy to your appalled vision I How you pray for death, how you cry out in your black despair as Isreal's king did for Absalom, his pride and liopo--"would to God that i had died fur thee." "We wind our life about another life," We ho'd it closer, dearer than our own, Anon it faints in earthly strife, beaving us stuntned and stricken and alone, htt ab ! we do not. die w,th those we love, his also can be borne." How much the heart may bear and yet not break. Pierre lived on for long and weary years after beautiful 133sic had moulderod to dust and the green grass had eirpeted her grave. Lived on for the sake of bonnie little Raehol who grew and bloomed miracu lously in the gloomy atmosphere of the old cabin and the old mill. "A babe in a house is a well-sprng of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a talent of trust, a loan to be rendered back with interest," and in time Pierre began to love his child with all his strength and to endeavour to rear her as her mother would have dono if she had iot gone to the grave. This simple story was related to me Dn a balmy evening in June, by an .ld grey-haired rman, none other than l'ierre himself, (though I have not Iivenl it iu his words,) the husband of Bessie and father of Rachel. We itood on the bank of the river near Lhe place where the old mill had been %nd within sight ot the spot. once nn. 3upied by the old cabin. My anxiety lo bear the fate of Rachel prompted inc to inquire about her. 'Thu old mn1 brightened up, swept the silvery looks back from his broad brow and replied, "Rachel grow up to be as beautiful ind graceful as a queen. I worked hard and gave her a fine education, better than thousands of men rolling in affluence, give their daughters, for ihe was bright and intelligent and ex perienced no diffi,ulty in learning." "And where is she now ?" I ques tioned. A smile of triumph lighted up his Features as he pointed in the diree tion of a stately and imposing man sion, built of dark red sand-stone and Dmbowored in a magnificent grove of lark green forest oaks, "My child dwells there, she is t.he lady of Bartran manor, the cherished Pwifo of Vivian Bertram. "Indeed," I said with an accent of mnrprise. "Yes, the mnadamo opposed the mar riage at first, desiring her son to form z more brilliant alliance, but he loved Rachel tenderly though her glod was not aristocratic. Hie knew that it was hnealthmy and honorable for. she Was de scended f'rom an honest miller and his wife on one side and an honest shoe mnaier and his wife cn the othen, Ria she1 was sweet anid pure and fair and in timne won the madame over.
