THEUWYEB'SOwD DESK* CONCLUDED. "A dream! Tell it to me, Stella, that I may interpret it," I said, laugh? ingly. "Dreams always go by con? traries, you know; a terrible dream .will certainly bring tho best of good fortune to the dreamer." Stella shook her head. "I wish that I could think so," sho said. "I know that I am very childish, but since that dream, my presentiments of evil have been almost more tbau I can bear. I fear-obi I fear, Mark that I shall uever see Edward again." She buried ber face in her hands fot ono moment, and then raised it again, covered with tears. "I dreampt that .we were walking together in a wood," she said, speaking in a low, tremu? lous tone-"you and your sister, and Edward and I-and that at a turning in the path, wo came suddenly to the bank of a river; a willow tree bent over the water, and close beside it a little boat was tied. We were laugh? ing and talking merrily, when sud? denly I felt my blood curdling in my veins, and know that something unearthly was at my side. I turned with a shudder, and saw a huge black thing, with wings, holding a long lance in his skeleton hand. 'A good place to make a grave,' ho whispered. 'Look! a good place to make a grave.' He pointed to tho willow tree, and there I saw a grave dug. I screamed and turned towards Edward, but ho was not there. I strove to Hy, but the day had sud? denly grown dark, and I could not find my way, nor seo nnj-tbing but the gaunt figure at my side, aud, with a feeliug of despair I cannot even bear to .remember, I seemed to swoon away. Oh, Markl I fear that dream foretold my Edwurd's doom. Thiuk of the perils of tho ocean and of tho sword! I cannot rest nor sleep. I shall die if he does not conte soon!" Again she wept, and I soothed her, telling ber that death meant mar? riage, and laughing at ber supersti? tion, yet feeliug a strungo foreboding at my own heart. Tho day passed slowly by, bnt brought no sorrow. One 1 right morning, a ringing stop WHS heard upon the pathway, a clear, manly volco sounded through thc hall, and Scella wept with joy upon her lover's bosom. He was there, he was safe; she bad no fear now-her dream was forgotten in tho living vision of pre? sent and future. A few days more, and I had listen? ed to tho words which inndo my Stella another'?. I had been tito first to salute her as a bride, and I tbunked my God that Ho only read the anguish of my soul. She was to leave us soon, and one pleasant afternoon wo walked out to? wards tho woods for tho last time Stella leant upon her happy husband's arm, and I followed with my sister. I hud fallen into a reverie, from which I was aroused by Edward Waring's voice: "A boat!" ?ie cried. "A boat! Now, if wo can find the owner, wo may have a glorious sail. Whose is it? do any of you know?" "It is Mr. Brown's" said my sister, stooping to examino a name upon the post to which it was chained. "Ho is a friend of ours, and will lend us the key with pleasure. Yon? der is bis house, among tho trees, 1 will go and borrow it for you." Away ?lin tripped, and Edward Waring followed her. "I'll be buck in a moment," lin said; "don't run away with my wife while I am gone, Mark." And he looked back, laugh? ingly, as ho vanished through the buslies. He hud scarcely gone, when a low peal of thunder broke upon our curs. I looked up ut tho Bky-it was fast clouding over. "Wo are to have a storm," I said. "Tho boat will la* of no use. I wish they would come back." Stella turned as I spoko, and her face grew deadly white. "Murki Murk!" she gasped; "cull him buck call him back! Quickly, cousin, quickly!" "Are you afraid of the storm?" I said. She pointed to the boat and a tree near it, in answer. "My dream I" abe murmured. "My dream! Do you remember it?" As she spoke, a flash of lightning gleamed upon the horizon, and an? other and heavier peal of thunder drowned her voice. "Edward! oh, Edward! come back -come back!" she sobbed. But he was beyond the reach of her sweet voice, that voice which he was never to hoar again-no, never! for, as she knelt beneath that willow, praying for his safety, the lightning flushed ngnin, and tho thunder's awful voico was heard once more; and when silence reigned ngnin, and I recovered from the stunning effects of a defeaning crash, I know not where, which flung me prostrate on the ground, I saw her lying, pale and ghastly, with a black mark upon her bosom, beneath the riven tree, where I had last seen her, praying. For tho first time in my lifo I folded her in my arms. Upon those lifeless lips I pressed passionate kisses ; into those closed ears I poured wild protestations of love; close, close I pressed that seared bosom to my own, and wildly moaned as I felt tho soft hand growing cold and hurd as marble. They found me afterwards, wander? ing in tho woods, carrying her iu my arms, and raving like a mauiac. They say that I was mad for weeks; but I have lost no remembrance of that day, nor of the horrible despair of tho young bridegroom's face, ns ho looked upon his sweet wife's pulseless form. He wept; he mourn? ed-aye, mourned sincerely-but not as I did. Friends sympathized with him, and knew nothing of my Bor? row; but as years passed on, I could see that his old buoyancy returned, that ho was young aud glad again. Ouo night-nh! many years ugo wheu Stella had been dead five sum? mers, I sat beside her grave, weep? ing, and watched the lights gleamiug from tho windows of a stately man? sion near at hand-lights which shone upon tho fair face of another bride whom Edward Waring hud wooed aud won. Yes, he whom sho hud loved so well, and trusted in so fondly, had wed another; and I, of whose lovo sho never guessed, sat there, in the still, star-lit summer night, and wept upou her grave-tho gruvo which my hand, and mino only, still decks with flowerets not half so puro and sweet as the fair bud so early laid beneath tho sod. lu Heaven sho will bo mine! Yes, sweet angel, iu dreams I hear thu promise. I have beeu constant to her each moment of my sad life; and when,"this fitful fever past, I join tho j dear ones goue before to tho : pirit1 .world. I know sho will bo the first of all to meet me, and together we shall know tho bliss of perfect love, un? marred by death or parting! Tho tulo was doue; softly and reverently I folded up tho paper, and replaced all in tho secret drawer once more. Then, stealing out to? wards tho grave-yard, I sought the lawyer's grave, and fouud it. Closo beside, with a creeping rose still clinging nboUt its time-stained mar? ble, was another stoue, marked "Stella Waring." . To City Tax-Payers. OTT Y CLERK'S OFFICE, COLUMBIA, February 14, inns.
