S train en til n.J. Fix off the old snows ever new With silver edges clef: the blue Aloft, alone, divine; ne runny meadows silent slept, Silence the sombre armies kept, Tb? vanguard of the pine. In that thin air the birds are still, No ringdove marmora on the hill, Nor mating cushat calls; Bat gay cicalas singing sprang, And waters from the forest ?aug The song of waterfalls. O Pate 1 a few enchanted hours ? Beneath the lira, among the flowers, High on the lawn we lay. Then turned again, contented well, While bright about us named and fell The rapture of the day. And softly with a guileless awe Beyond the purple lake she saw , The embattled summits glow; She saw the glories melt in one, The round moon rise, while yet the sun Was rosy on the snow. Then nae a newly-singing bird The child's soul In her bosom stirr'd; I know not what she sung. Because the soft wind caught her hair, Because the golden moon was fair, Because her heart was young. I wonk! her sweet son! ever may Look thns from those glad eyes and gray, Dnfearing, undefiled; 1 terre her; when her face I see. Her simple presence wakes in me The Imperishable child.

How many wives are there in our broad land who pray earnestly, dally, "lead us not into temptation i" They may be pure m heart and un? blemished In reputation, but still the tempter win sometimes come in spite of every watch and word. Let those who have been thus tempted, read the trials and struggles of our heroine, and it will not only interest them deeply, but render them stronger, purer, and better fitted to meet and conquer temptation, let lt present Itself in whatever form it may. On a fine day In thc fall of the year. Lord and Lady Clarisbrook were seated under the shade of a spreading beech tree, iii the gardens attached to Caldecott Hall, which was the name of their ancestral abode. His lordship was reading a let? ter he had received from his brother in London, and when he had completed Its pe rusa1, he ex? claimed : "Hubert says In his letter, my dear, that he has dispatched to us Sir Charles Evander, a young baronet of whom I have heard something. He ls a friend of Hubert's, who Knows his mother very well, and he wishes him to be kept for some time Bi the country. If possible, as the delights of Lon? don are rapidly demoralizing him." "I shall be glad to extend our hospitality to any friend of your brother Hubert's," answered Lady Carisbrook, who never contradicted her husband Bl anything. "The letter goes on to say," continued his lord? ship, "that his mother, Lady Evander, wishes him to renew his acquaintance with the St. Aubyns, who live near us. Slr Charles and Lily St. Aubyn met in town, and if a match could be arranged between them, lt would be most de? sirable." "Wc will do what, we can," said her ladyship, favoring her husband with a sweet smile. "I am sure we have been so happy during our wedded life, dearest Albert, that we need have no com? punction la lndacingiwo young people to unite themselves together." After some further conversation it was decided that they would gladly receive Slr Charles Evan? der as a guest, and do al! they could to make him forget the delights of the town by Introducing to his notice the many charms of a country life. A week elapsed and Slr Charles Evander arrived at Caldecott HalL He was tall, handsome, well-made, and had that indescribable, easy, well bred air, which can only be acquired from moving in the best society. There was magic in his eyes, and Lady Caris? brook had not been In his company half an hour, before she felt fascinated by his glance, and turn? ing away with a shudder, said to herself: "That is, Indeed, a man for a woman to love. How happy should Miss St. Aubyn be with such a suitor." Lord Carisbrook found the young baronet's so? ciety as agreeable as did his wife. * Young as he was, he had seen a great deal ot the world, which had made him somewhat of a cynic. In reality he dazzled, rather than made areal Impression on hts friends, for there was nothing genuine or sincere abone him. He turn? ed everything into ridicule and laughed at every? body. Carisbrook soon discovered that he was an ac? complished sportsman, and that the amusements of the city-had not rendered him la ai.y way effeminate. They went oat together oa shooting expedi? tions, and always came back with a full bag, Slr Charles being an excellent shot, and thoroughe? st home with dog and gun. There were so many places on the estate to go to, so much to see, and so much to do during Sir Charles Evander's mst week at Caldecott, that Lily St. Aubyn wo3 forgotten until Lady Caris? brook cxc'almcd: "We have some mos: agreeable neighbors, Evander, to whom I shall feel delighted to intro- 1 duce you. Among otficrs I may mention thc St. 1 Aubyns." .?Of Rock Hill ?" said Sir Charles. "Yes: I have ' met thea, and shall bc glad to renew thcacqualn- 1 tanee. Lily is a fine girl, and she assisted me to 1 pass some time very pleasantly In London." "Wewin Invite them to meet yon at dinner, Sir Charles," exclaimed Lady Carisbrook. But you most not suppose that wc have any design upon your heart in bringing you In contact with the 1 most lovely young lady in tius part of the eoun- 1 try." Slr Charles Evander laughed and made answer: "I do not think I am so impressionable as you seem to imagine, although I will own my.-elfsus- i ccptlble of a woman's charms." I Presently Lord Carisbrook went to the other i end of the room, and Evander had an opportn- < nlty of saying in a low tone: i "My heart is gone already, Lady Carisbrook." "Indeed! Since when, may I ask?" she replied, i with a slight elevation of the eyebrows. I "SUice I entered this houso. Since I first be? held you, Lady Carisbrook," he said, with a i glance of admiration. "Slr Charles," exclaimed her ladyship, in a 1 tone of severe rcouke, "If you dare to repeat such I language to me, I shall instant ly make my hus- . band acquainted with your conduct. You, a I guest In his house, and to maize such a speech to < the wife of your host!" "Why not, when the hostess ls pretty?" answer- i ed Evander, twirling his mustache. : Lady Carisbrook half rose, as if to call her hus? band's attention, but he was looking over some i books, aud had his back turned toward her. "If you wish to loose your husband, by all 1 means promote a quarrel between us," said Sir t Charles, coolly. "Duelling Ls possible in France, I and I can fire a pistol with as much sitlll as i eau I ase n sword. She became passive under this threat, and ? again his large lustrous eyes were Axed upon her, ] appearing to fathom the sectct depths of the in? nermost recoses of ber soul. i Lady Carisbrook began to be afraid of this roan, I but after his familiarity that evening she always < avoided a conversation with him. i A few days alterward Lord Carisbrook and Sir 1 Charles Evander were out shooting together near I the confines of the estate. Hy this side was thc main road, aud they sat dowu upon a bauk to ] ret;t while tho keepers opened out a slight repast < they had brought with them. I Suddenly the noise Of horses gallopping rapidly | along the road fell upon their ears; with this was i mingled the clatter of wheels and the cries cf wo? men, apparently in a dreadful state of alarm. I Sir Charles Evander was up in a moment, look? ing eagerly along thc highway. Presently he beheld a carnage drawn by two ] Bery horses, over which the terrified coachman had lost all control, descending a tull at a rapid i pace. He was just able to perceive that two la? dies occupied the carriage, and then, without a j moment's hesitation, he raised hts gun and shet one of thc horses dead, tims bringing thc car? riage to a stand still. It turned ont that thc lady ? ocoupunis of thc carriage were Mrs. St. Abayn | mil her (laughter Lilly, who were at once con? ducted to Caldecott Hull by Evander and Lord i Carisbrook. When they reached Caldecott Hall, His blushiug i ?rirl who was hanging on Evander's arm at once , attracted Lady Carisbrook^ notloe. i A pang shot through her heart. "What," she exclaimed to herself, "am l jeal- , DUS ? Oh, it is absolutely necessary for my peace i )f mind that that man should leave this boase." ; The pleasant party at Caldecott Hall was soon 9 oken up. The St. Aubyns returned to town. , i ld ?lr Charles Evander growing tired of the i Kountry and its amusements, made bis excuse to Lord and Lady Carisbrook, and also sought tu? i iay metropolis. Her ladyship felt very dull and i miserable when the young baronet took his de? parture, i She longed also to go to town, and soon made ?'.rr husband acquainted with her wishes. He ( was so satisfied with his country home and the : sports he there enjoyed, that he combatted the | resolution; but in the end she gained her point. Caldecott was shut np, and the servants sent to ? .own, to a house which bia lordship's agent had l ta cea for them, in a fashionable part of thc Weat i lind. It was in Wilton Creaont, aud they were | sot far from Hans Place, wliere the St. Aubyns I resided. i Uer ia?ysuip did not mach care about becaasc Fhe fancied tbat Sir Charles Evana the lovely Lily too much attention; bnt a obliged to keep on friendly terms with thi cause they were invited everywhere, a would meet them at all good houses. Slr Charles was soon made aware ol Carisbrook^ presence m town, and he lang his sleeve, for he knew enough of wornt their characters to understand that as 1 gone away from her, she had followed him Tho gentlemen whom Lady Carisbrool and to whom she talked about Sir Charl not give Evander the best possible chai There were two friends of his, Captain Vai and Mr. Frederick Mordaunt, the latter of was constantly at the St. Auby n's, and all whore he thought he should meet Lily, ai conduct of his was not at all surprising, loved her passionately, though she had not : marked measure encouregea the pref? which he exhibited for her. Mr. Mordaunt had taken a strong dislike Charles Evander, ever since he first met 1 Hans Place. The attitude which the latt sumed towards Lily, convinced the jealous of the lover that he was m love with her, an she did not object to his admiration. Mord? affection for her was BO sincere, that if he not win her himself, he wished to see her mi to one who would insure her happiness, an he felt certain Sir Charles would not do. He say nothing to either Lily or her mother, be they would accuse him of an interested n in vllUfyiug a mau he had treated as his frle To Lady Carisbrook, however, he was E reticent. He told her bis opinion of the bar thongh there was no tinge of acrimony or n In what he said. He spoke his mind freely, the air of one who was fearless of the c qnenccs and knew that he was uttering the t Lady Carisbrook had invited this confident the part of Mr. Mordaunt and 8a rt alu Vasa but when she bad gained it she was dlsplt with them for running down one whom liked, and on one occasion said,with some aspe "If Slr Charles Evander is such as you des him to be, 1 wonder that you associate with h "For my part," replied Mr. Mordaunt, "I answer that I have for sometime ceased to d I am coldly civil whenever we meet, and he i know that 1 do not class him among th: nus o' my friends." ..That must be a great deprivation for Charles, Mr. Mordaunt," said her ladyship. 1 I hope to meet you in a more forgiving hume Mrs. St. Aubyn's reception to-morrow even I shall be glad to see you both there, as 1 hav few friends in town. Carisbrook leaves Lon for a week to-morrow morning, to see ofter poor dogs and horses, about whom he freu much." The party given by Mrs. St. Aubyn, to wi her ladyship nod alluded, was merely a recept Visitors dropped in as they liked, went fi group to group, chatting first with one, then i another, and took their departure, when it plea them, without any ceremony. . Lady Carisbrook mode her appearance ab ten o'clock, superbly dressed, and almost the I person ?he met on entering, after having spo to her amiable hostess, was Slr Charles Evam whom she thought had never looked handsori "This is kind of you," he exclaimed. "Th is no one worth spenklng to here, and 1 was ( tilg awfully bored. May I inquire where Ca brook ls?" "Did you not know that he had left town ?" replied, showing her pearly teeth and flutter her,fan> "I nm quite alone. I do not know wi I shall do willi myself." "I am acquainted with married women," i swered Sir Charles, twisting his moustache, "a would not consider such an occurrence a cala Ity. They would bc glad of a little relief from I pre?euce of their lord and master. "That ls charming," said Lady Carisbrot eagerly. "You will tell me what those ladles d will yon not ? Please do take compassion up iud tell mc." "With the greatest pleasure," rejoined ! Charles Evander. "1 must premipc, howevi that my ladles were not of the sentimental ordi They did not look upon husbands generally as i unqualified good, and they enjoyed their frccde by such innocent little amusements as glvii Jinner parties to an intimate friend or frlent I have had such an Invitation myself; a box the theatre has diversified the proceedings." "Excellent," exclaimed Lady Carisbrook, mu sure that I cannot do better than follow sm t capital example. Will you favor me with yoi company at my house to dinner to-morrow at Sir Charles?" "I shall bc most happy," he said. Lily St. Aubyn came np and they were scp rated; but Lady Carisbrook had made the ci ragement, calculating upon her husband's a -euee, without meaning any harm, though si ought to have known that lt was wrong to 0 anything which she could not tell his lordship. The greater part of thc day was passed by lu ii buying flowers In Covent Garden, and makin preparations for a charming little dinner, such a would at once display her taste and the rcsou: ces of her establishment. In the afternoon she went to her bed-room t ay down and rest for au hour. She was tired. I ?ud been quite late when she left Mrs. SI aubyn's, and not used to such hours, sho foum ,t difficult to recover from thc fatigue which the; jncasloued. . To her Baptise she was disturbed, as she wa ibout to close her eyes for a refreshing sleep, bj i knocking at thc door. "It ls only I, Emily," sahl a voioe, which sin 'ccjgnlzed instantly. "Good gracious, my husband ! What bring! tim back? can he suspect?" she began, when ItCi ipeculatons were cut short by the entrance o Ixird Carisbrook, who caught her m his arms am ?Used her tenderly, and cried: "Here I am agr.in, dearest, sooner than yon ex lectcd. Ah, what is this? You do not seem sc ?leased to see mc as I thou,'htyou would bc." "Yon frightened me. I was half asleep, and my lerves arc a little weak. 1 was at Mrs. St. Aubyn's asl night till late," she answered, rubbing her ?yes and sliting on the edge of the bcd wrapped is she was la thc capacious folds ol' a pink dress? ing-gown. "Lint what brought you away from Jaldecott in such a hurry ?" "A relative of mine-who made a fortune in India, became eccentric and lived in London un' 1er another name-is dead, died yesterday in Tact, and his solicitor has written to me to say that he has left me the greater portion of las wealth." "There is nothing very interesting about that," ti<T ladyship saul, "we have as much money as ?ru want already, ls that all that has brought yon up in suth a hurry?-as for mc 1 would not Cave gone across thc street for such news?" "You have very strange ideas,'' replied Lord Carisbrook, with a tone ol' disappointment. "You were sorry at seeing me, and now you don't care Tor the legacy." . ^ "1 do like people tb bc exact and consistent, rom* return has destroyed my projects of inde? pendence for a week. 1 was going ont to dinner to-night,, and-" "What is to prevent you?" internptcd Caris? brook. "1 have engaged myself to thc solicitor and shall very likely stay late, talking over mat? ters with bim. I shall not be home until twelve certainly, so you can go where, you like without paying thc slightest attention to me. Imprinting another kiss upon her lips Lord Carisbrook took his departure, called a cab, drove to his club and told his friends ol'his good fortune, ind ordered dinner. Her ladyship determined to bc bravo, and re? ceive Sir Charles Evander, though prudence dic? tated the adoption of ? very different course. It happened that Sir Charles was more con? siderate. He belonged to the same club as Lord Carisbrook, and met him there In thc afternoon. "How dot" he said. "1 thought you a hundred miles away in the country." "At Caldecott," replied his lordship. "1 have only just returned. Business brought me back. lt was a great pity. I never saw liner weather Tor shooting." Sir Charles went to the writing-room, and wrote a letter to Emily, In which he said that he tiad met her husband, and boped she would, nn i?r thc circumstances, excuse him ror breaking iiis engagement, as he had no wish to meet Caris j rook, and he sincerely trusted that thia evening done was only a pleasure deferred. In the tu?l he did not see Carisbrook,-who was patting on his hat, and he said to the porter dis? tinctly in his lordship's hearing: "Give this letter to a commissionaire, and let him take lt to Lady Cartsbrook's, Wilton Cres? cent." These words fell like a thunderbolt upon his lordship, who, half-stupefled, watched Slr Charles re-enter the club. He was himself going for a stroll round St. James' Square, In which his club was situated, to get an appetite for dinner, and changing his mind, he put down his hat, and ex? tending his hand to the porter, said: "Give me that letter, it's for my wife, and I can deliver lt. Most probably Sir Charles Evander did not see me, or he weuld have asked meto take charge of lt." The porter did as he was requested; and Lord Carisbrook, fnmlng like an angry lion, went up stairs to the smoking-room to read the letter at his leisure, unobserved and uninterrupted. Its contents astounded him. They, indeed, were calculated to throw suspicion upon the con? duct of any woman, and if a man had plunged a knife Into his heart, he would not have felt more exquisite pain than he did in reading this compromising letter of Slr Charles Evander's. "This ls terrible !" he muttered wiping the perspiration, which had gathered on his brow in great drops, away with his hand. "No wonder Emily was not anxious to sec me. This ls how she enjoys her Independence. But the affair can? not rest here. It was, Indeed, an unlucky day for me when Slr Charles Evander crossed the threshold. Bitterly shall he repent his treachery. I must kill that man, or he shall kill me !"
