?I8NIKG BT TUE MILL. BY JAMES ALBERT POWELL. I'm fitting on the old mill steps, **'bcrc years and years ago, We pledged thc fealty of IOTC, It measuredly cal and wo? ; And meM?rfltepllng through thc years, PHnnMnr ftifflar dav-dreams still I dr. rm ?rt^?lfaldcn time, You k^gp^r the mill. Ah ! those were golden day*, sweetheart And those were golden dreams; How weird thc days arc to me. How blank the future seems. How like au ui.vcilled craft at nea My life is: love is still No idle wandering through thc mead, No kissing by the mill. We trifled with thc tassled corn, And loitered by thc way, Till lengthened shadows on the i,ward Hespoke the waning day. The tall pines glistened in the moon, Like spectre.? an thc hill And love's sweet passion blessed us, when You kissed meat the mill. Mv hair is silvered now with grny, My ste]) ls slow and weak, And furrows straggle o'er my brow, And linger on my cheek. My voice liai lost Its mellow flow, And thine, sweetheart, is still, But mcm'ry a warmth still weds the Hps, You first klw?l by thc mill. Soon, ob, how kOOU we'll meet i-gnin, And meeting, purt no more. And pledge anew the vows of Jove Of life's eternnl shore. Thanks, for the glennis of golden light, That ?ill the new life lill Bach day will be ns (dir, u& bright, As that one by the mill. ~?AV15I>. A WOMAN'S HTOKY. ''Miss Violet, will von give this letter to Mrs. Maltby?" I had my hands lull of drawing mate rials ; hut I received thc letter, and con tinued on my way to Mrs. Maltby's dress ing-room. The drawings were little. Studien I had made while down ut the seuside, where I had spent my vacation; made for Mrs. Maltby -to whom I had been a companion for n year-and Mrs. Maltby been had in terested in them, saying, "Touch them up u bit, Violet, and I will get a porfolio for them ami keep them." I usually sat with her in her dressing- ; room, through thc morning. And thith er I now repaired to touch up the draw ings while she sat with her idippc-red feet on thc fendetfceuibroidenng with purple ami crin 'irn\ I gavo^ter tho*Btter and went to a low neat in tbe..4c*c?-lW'wi,itlow. ' sharp ened a pcnclVand then happened to glance towards my companion. Her face was ashy pale. Her profile was turned towards*inc. In its regularity mid pallor it looked like a face cut in stone. But I have never seen it look so sharp and deathly. The letter was clenched in her hand. I bad brought her bad news. I was shocked, but silent. I tried to remember whnt I knew of her family relations. She was a handsome black hniv.nl womnn of fifty, who had boen car ly widowed, and returned to her father's house. Her parents were dead. Her mother had died in her infancy, and she lind been tho mistress of Redburn hall ever sines. It was not lung, however, since her father's decease, She had nev er had a child. She had no brothers or sisters whom I had ever heard of. I could not surmise whnt had happened. I saw her burn tho letter ; and then she cose nnd left tho room. Afterwards I guessed whom that com munication wns from. A week passed. They were quiet and comfortable hut rather mnuotonous wcoks nt Redburn. But, though young, I was less restless than most girls. I was not unhappy with Mrs. Maltby, only some times I wished for n little change. It carne-a moa. startling episode. We hnd company to dine-Mrs. Malt by's lawyer and personal friend, from town. I was dressing her hair, as I some times did, for she liked my arrangement -pronouncing them artistic. Suddenly without knocking or warning the doo? was f?nng open, and a youngman talked in. I felt Mrs. Maltby ?tart under my hands. I myself waa frightened-the in truder looked so bold and restless. He was very himdsomo ; but he scorned to me to have been travelling long, or to have come out of somo revel. His linen was soiled, his long clustering hair un brushed, and his eyes blood-shot. Yet his appearance waa singularly attractive. I had never before seen so high-bred nnd graceful a man. Mrs. Maltby did not speak to him. He seated himself before and not far from her, however. "Go on, Violet,'* she said. "Certainly; let tho young lady proceed with her task," he said, quickly. "What I have to say need not interfere with her oin ploy ?vic.-t. I B8s^t8t?tdfl MIC is Sour companion and confidant, though I ave not liad the pleasure of meeting her before." The last sentence appeared to have been quite mechanically spoken, for he had fixed bte eyes fiercely upon Mrs. Mal-by"? face, and seemed to see only her. I went on pinning up the braids of her hair, aa I had been bid, hut my hands trembled. I could not see her face, but I think abo met that look steadily. "You refused tue," bo said, in a far different tone from that in which he had at first spoken, low And concentrated. "Certunly," she answered. "Do you want my blood upon your head I" no exclaimed. "I washed mylands deer of you long ago/' she answers!, composedly. "Long ago," he repealed ; and a wave Of emotion that waa- inexplicable to me "agPt over his facti Thon he wnnfent. I don't know why, but from 9g?Hbmont I pitied him. He got up'anolHPHnenced walkir ?he li? 'ell you Winifred, I roust have thia monow ne said, "I must have it, and to-ahoft, to-night," he repeated. .Mri- Maltby was silent. I caught a ?sWtnpee^Bftr face. Flint was not harder. "Le??have it, Winifred," he said, pausinjHAre her ; "and I promise you if. shalfbwshe last time." She wade made no reply. "THWaattime! I mean it Winifred I" His low voice faltered. She did not speak. "Will you?" "No I" she replied without any emo tion whatever. His face had been working with some strong, deep filing. But that monosyl lable seemed to strike bim like a blow. He stood looking at her, his face still and desperate. "I did not think God could make such a woman as you are," he said at last. I felt her shrlnfc beneath the actual horror with which he seemed to regard her. But she spoke with unaltered com posure. "I told you more than a year ago that I should pay no more debts of yours con tracted in gambling, or in any other way," she said. "I meant it ; you know that I meant it. I hare givon you fair warning. I shall not change." He.did not speak ; his head wes drooped upon his breaat; he was deathly pale. ''I have doue my duty by you. Guy you know that I have," she anded. MYe?, you have been jua?v but you have not beeti merciful." he replied. "O, Oed I" He flung up his arro* with a bit ter cry that wrung my heart. 1 looked at her. No : abo did not re? lent or goto him. He Had flnng hlmsolf into a chair, and with his head drooping int? fais arms folded upon the back, waa (be neat hopelewsfl^ure I had ever geog, She ruse, for I had finished her hair and took a seat nearer tho fire. Her lips were gray, a* if she was cold, but her face was ..till aa Inflexible as flint. He gare n groan and started up sud denly. "I am guing." he said. "I-" He met lier eye, and asked, "Why do not you kill me7 1 was altogether in your liando once. You killed her, you will remem ber." A slight blush tinted her cheek. "Yoi? Would Oiake lier ?nippy, I sup pose; if she had lived," she said sarcasti cally. But tho sting did not seem to reach him. "Il she bud lived. O, heaven, if she had lived ! Winifred, may God deal by you as you have dealt by me." "? am willing,*' she answered. He remained but a moment longer. Winpping bis cloak around him, bc gave her one look of reproach, and left the room. I looked wistfully ut her; she did not speak to me, and I too went away. She was ill thc next day, but on the following day .she appeared ns much ns usual. Of all that I thought and felt I, of course, said nothing. Thc matter was no affair of mine. I understood that thc two were brother and sinter-that thc {'oung man was named Guy Sedley-that ic was desolate and in disgrace-that Mrs. Mnltby had taken care of him in boyhood, but now ignored the relation idnp. I wa.", in no way allowed to learn any more. But on the. second night I was awak ened by a light shining into my cham ber. It was something unusual, fora lit tle clock on thc mantle was ch i ID i ne twelve. After a moment, ] slipped out of bed and glided towards the open door, The long, cmbroidcrc ? folds of my night dress nearly tripped me up; hut I made no noise with my hare feet upon thc deep velvet of the carpet. I don't know whom I expected to sec -c. rtainly not Guy Sedley, kneeling be fore H HHudle-wniiu chest, with papen strewn around him on the floor. A tapci burning nu the mantle showed his luci perfectly cool aa lie went wu searching for something. He must have coint through my room to reach the apartment fir it had no opening hut into my chain bar. I wan aware that the papers in tin chest were valuable; that there wai money placed there. 1 saw that he wm robbing his sister. I saw. too, a dirk-knife on the floor close at li is side. I looked al him au instant-even tim I remembered to pity him- then glidci forward, snatched the knife, and leapct back to thc door. I was mistress of tin situation, for I had come from hrh i IM und ilone all as in a flash, and as he rn* to his feet, I stood with a cool ncaa thu showed that it was not my intention t< immediately arouse the house. With a presence of mind equal to m; own, he put the roll of bank-notes h bad been searching for into the pocket o his waistcoat, and, with a glittering eye regarded mc speculatively. I was pettit and I had not screamed; I know no\ that he was not much afraid of mc. "You have been robbing your sister, I Haid ; "but if you will put the moue back, I will let you go." His intense attention of me changed t a look of wonder. "You child, ure you notafruid of me ? he asked. "No," I answered, faithfully. "But I watched you in your sleep, moment ugo, debating whether it wer necessary to kill you or not." "You must have been glad to (ind tilt it was not necessary," I said. He looked moro astonished than hi fore ; but I did not stop to think of thu "I'ut the money back," 1 suid. "No," ho said, firmly. "I will murd? you first." "Do not do that," I said. "I nm yoi friend. I was sorry for you that day." Ho did not speak, but a troubled loo disturbed the pale fixedness of his fae "How much money have you thcrei I asked. "Ouc hundred pouuds." "And yon need it vary much ?" "Very much." ho replied with a bitti smile. "Please put it back," I said. "She hi been just to you ; I would like to bo mc ful. I will give you the money." "You ?" "I have it-yes-herc iu my room. Lct mo show you." J ?iune: open the door, next to my wr ting-desk, atti*, ."ame back o him. I "Thcso i will give you freely," I aai< opening the roll of notes. "You said ' her that it should be tho last time, and hopo-" He had taken thc notes into his han looking at them in a kind of ucbolievir way. "You may hopo that you have sav< me," he said, in a low voice. We were silent for a moment. "You know now that I was very .iori for you," I snid with tears in my eyes. "Yes," he said gravely ; "and I loi you for it." He put Mrs. Maltby's money back, at rearranged tbe chest. I began to liste nervously, for voices about tho houa< but all was very ?.till, ll: locked tl chest and gave me the key. "You know whero it ia kept?" "Yes; in a drawer in her drcssin room." I wondered how ho had obtaini it. "Hasten and get away." "There ia no danger; I made my wi hither carefully. Pure, brave little gi; how fearless you aro for yourself." He looked at mo earnestly, aa if 1 wished to carry away a clear memory my features ; then he wrapped h ia clo; about him, flung ap tho sash J and leap soundlessly out Into tho darkness. I e tinguished tho taper, and crept back bed. I did not hear a sound about the hou until daybreak. When I arose. I saw thc dirk-kni Slittering in sunshine, near my w ng-d isk where ? had lain it. Then shuddered. A year later I was tho mistress of Rc burn ; the beautiful house, tho spacio grounds were all minc. Mrs. Malt ad died and bequeathed them all to n On her dying bed ?he taid, "Viol ?'ou are my heiress. There is only o iving being who hos my blood in 1 veins ; him I disown." She paused, a then went on : "You have seen my bro! er.. I loved him ; I was ambitious i him, but hi t natural bent was evil. ] had a cousin Flora, a child, who vi brought up with him. They were ; riged to bo married. But I forbade revealed to her his dissipation. I tc ber of his debts and deeds of daring, ai., i-1 i. _u. ...i i?:_ ."tv i>.-.v.. ......, ... ? v. flWMl ......-WM? a was delicate, and died. He says-1 kill ber." Sho grew pale oven past her dying p lor. She went on : "When I saw h last the officers of justice were after hi he was a defaulter. He had stolen mor to pay his gambling debts. Ho is prol bly lying in jail now ; but I will ht none of him. I was just to him, ant will nover forgive him." So she died, hard as flint to the last And I was mistress of Redburn. I was young. I was fond of gaiety had now the means at my disposa!. E ry summer my house' was filled w guests, tn the winter I was in Loni] or abroad. And yet I lived only on t interest of tho money bestowed upon i Three years passed. I had never hoi a word of Our Sedley, when, one d the Bromleyn of London, who were co ing to visit nie, asked ?eave to brim friend. 1 extended tho solicited invi tiou and Guy Sedloy came. It wai shock ; but he gave no token of the pi Reclaimed from his errors, b|jnu so fined and manly that he* waBShe m distingu? ed of my guests. "I loved him," I thought. "Ht m hate mc, thc usurper of bis rights, is poor because I nave his patrimony, hfare no right to Redburn, and I will l kocf it. J will give U back to him." An opportunity came. Ho ivan .sitting i on tho terrace one bright evening. I went and took a seat near bim. "How lovely thia view is!" he ex claimed, pointing towards thc d'?tant hills. "Yes, and you shall wish for your right no longer, Mr. Sedley. Redburn ia your.*. I have no dunn to it." He did not speak, and I went on: "Your sister was just. And she would have made you the heir If she had lived to see von what von arc . _ j_,, lO'oay. "Hut it was your mercy, not her jus tice, Miss Hedley, that saved inc. Violet, I love you, and will take Redburn with your hand, not else." I put my hand in his, trusting him.
