Our Dead. The sou is sinking! sinking low, adown the crimson West, ' The breezo is softly whiap'ring that the beauteous night is near; And nature's heart is .trembling, ..s her young feet aro pres't 'Ooiusfc the meadow-sweets and vio? lets that hide ?heir heads in fear. As against my lovely window-ail], I loan my weary head, And think upon "tho land we-love," J . our sorrow, woe, and pain; Our shattered hopes 1 Our nameless graves! Our noble, gallant dead! It seems that ov'ry 'passion of my soul, save love, were slain. Though onr "Graves without a mon? ument" rebuked despair and hate, Though they tell us God is merciful, and care no true heart fears; Yet I long to clasp the loving hands so torn from us by fate, My soul is filled with bitterness, my eyes ore filled with tears. Oh, Father, teach submission to our restless, throbbing heart; Have pity and compassion, for wo ? nrp "sore distress'd;" Strip ofiftbid robe ot unbelief and bid our gruBljdepart; Still love ourpbor, our blighted land, and.place us 'mong the blest. Thou ari our shield, our great Ho? ward, our Light.our Life, our Way! Thou bidd'st Hagar "havo no fear," for Thou had'st heard her prayer; Wo are wanderers iu a wilderness, yet waiting to obey Thy slightest word, for, Lord, we know how sweet thy teachings are. [Banner qi the South. THE MYSTERY EiPJLAIflED. I was spending the most beautiful part of the year with Mrs. Bossut Rose HUI, my usual summer resort; and ? gayer, happier company th nu that which was thou around me, I have seldom found. Excursions, pic-nics, and all manner of enjoyments were continually on the list, and never had time passed so pleasantly before. One among us, however, seemed to take no interest in our gatherings, or in any of our pleasure parties; and Charles Meredith's ooldness and re servo waa frequent subject of com? ment, especially among the ladies. Young and attractive he certainly was, and possessed of brilliant col? loquial powers, which I myself bad often tested; for, strange to say, Mr. Meredith had repelled all friendly -advances from others, and it was only after many persevering efforts that I finally drew him ont of his "reserve. Our sameness of pursuit had Borne influence here, no doubt. We were both artists. I was strongly and irresistibly attracted towards the handsome, energetio enthusiast; and it pleased me greatly to find that in my company, at least, he would throw off the mask of reserve. When at length I persuaded him to minglo with our littlo party in the drawing-room, the fascinating young artist soon became n general favorite. I noticed more than one fair lady's cheek blush with pleasure, when Charles Meredith's dark eye flashed into hers; but among all tho ladies of our little set, ho seemed to choose Annie Fay, the merriest little fairy that ever danced upon tho earth. Ono stormy evening, we were sit tingin the well-lighted drawing-room, most of us in earnest conversation concerning the "sphere of woman." I noticed that Charles was unusually quiet as the discussion went on, though his eyes were flashing strange? ly us ho listened to our various ideas. Suddenly I exclaimed to my oppo? nent: "Say what you will, sir, when a woman has once lowered herself from her upper sphore, she has low? ered herself far iu my estimation and respect." As I said this, I turned my gaze full upou Charles Meredith's face, ns if to ask his opinion. To my terror, I saw him spring from his seat with palo face and hands uplifted, as though suffering intense agony. Several gentlemen sprang forward to aid him, when suddenly his arms fell helplessly by his side, ?and, hastily turning, he left the room. "Poor fellow!" said Annie Fay; "he works so incessantly that it is no wonder he is ill." Her words were received as suffi? cient reason for Charles' behavior, and were verified when he roturned to offer an apology for his abrupt departure, giving sudden ilncss ns an excuse." After that, Charles Meredith never joined us in the drawing-room again. Moro reserved than ever, he worked in his room, or, with sketch-book in hand, spent days in rambling over tho hills. I now seldom met him; or when I did I was pained and sur? prised to find that his interest in me seemed entirely gone, so cold und discouraging was his behavior. Mr. Meredith has left us," re Mrs. Ross, ono morning, hod breakfasted, us?" I exclaimed. "Where 1 e, and why?" .pt know; he gave me no j ? hud gone, I found e dark-eyed boy ** ?tions. I ru uni m ? ii it ?? ? "i - voice and sad looks, and regretted keenly th nt I had not taken greater pains to secare his irienahip. ? was Walking in the garden i one day, just at twilight, and hearing tho rou. pf carriage wheels, I approached the front entrance 'gate, A traveling carriage drew up before me, and as its occupant sprang out and came towards me, I was surprised to find it waa ObarleB Meredith. We enter? ed the house together, but ho did not appear at the dinner-table. Mrs. Boss was stating how glad she was to see him baok sgain, and how pale and ill he looked whoa he entered. The- next day, the bell was m ti file d, doors were opened, and closed care? fully, and the news of Mr. Meredith's dangerous illness flew from mouth to mouth. For a long time, his life hung by a thread; bat at hist our good hostess joyfully told us of his sure ri covery. A mighty load seem? ed to leave my-heart, and I now waited anxiously for his re-appear ance. Great was my surprise and disappointment, then, when I heard that he had again left. As before, I asked where he had gone; hut Mrs. Ross did not seem to h*?,r my ques? tion; and I impatiently exclaimed to Annie'Fay, who stood near me: "It is very strange "why Mr. Meredith thus suddenly takes his departure. Have you any idea of the'timo of his return?" "Ho will nu?, return ac uii, Mr. Brookfield ; for ho-" Here Annie suddenly stopped, and casting a quick, confused glance at my face, she tinned away. I looked after the little sprite in surprise. "Why should she know anything of Meredith's affairs?" I thought; "and certainly she does, for she ap? peared strangely confused." The next week, I packed my trunk and started off also, with no par? ticular determination of destination in view. I visited every studio and art gallery I carno across, how? ever, half in search of Charles Mere? dith, and half despairing of over sce iug him agaiu. My efforts wero un? availing. I never met Mr. Charles Meredith agein. At last, I settled myself in a fine old city, offering me many induce? ments to remain. Having severn! influential friends in the place, ] soon found myself in the midst of al! the fashionable pleasures then al their height. Invitations poured ir upon the successful artist, and im time was fully occupied. As I en tered my studio, one afternoon, J found there an invitation to attorn' un entertainment given by Mist Helen Meredith. "Perhaps this young beauty ant heiress is some connection o Charles'," I thonght, and accept?e the invitation. The lady was unknown to me ty sight, bnt by report she was n< stranger. On the specified evening [ entered the brilliant saloons, ac zomp&nled by a friend, who present ed mo to tho beautiful hostess, noticed that thc lady turned hnstil; it tho mention of my name; and Fairly started with surprise, fo Charles Meredith himself seemed b 3tnnd before me; only that the sad worn look did not rest upon his face ?nd, amid her surroundings, Mis Meredith seemed peerlessly lovelj She must have noticed my lon glances at her face, for her cheek wa crimson; and merely speaking in oame, she turned away. I was provoked at myself for allov ing a mere resemblance to disturb m so; and then, drawn irresistibly, turned to look at her again, and m< her eyes fixed full upon me. Sli was very palo now; and a strang thrill ran through me as I once moi watched the strange resemblance 1 Charles Meredith. "Pshaw,"' I said to myself, "si must have a brother by that nam That is the reason of it. I shall ce tainly ask her if such is tho case." During the evening, I fouud t opportunity of doing so; and I w assured that she had no brother. "That is my sister at tho pian Mr. Brookfield," she said. I felt rather foolish, and to relie myself, I told the story of my dei interest for Charles Meredith. SI listened politely to tho end; ai then, niter a few comments, she 1 quested me to return to the roo which we had left. I glanced at t burning cheeks and bright eyes, ai then did as she requested. I went home that night strange happy, with Mi.^s Meredith's perm sion to call again still ringing in i ears. I did visit her again, ai many times. At first, becauso s reminded me so much of the h Charles Meredith, and filially, 1 cause my heart was in herpossessic A year Hew by; and then I ask Helen Meredith to bo my wife. S Rat very quiet whilo I was speakii I could not help noticing bow tit her bauds were clasped together ti how gaspingly came her breath. Finally, she looked full in i eyes, nud said: "Before I ansx you, Mr. Brookfield, I shall tell j something that may, perhaps, gren chango your mind." Here she stopped suddenly, r after a great effort, she continu "lu a ?mall country town, four ye ago, a gentleman died, leaving 1 daughters to tho caro of an nu who had one s^n. This uncle, mi ly ns he was, allowed his uieces. a indeed, his own von, only the bai I necessities of lifo. The younga the sisters was an invalid, ?nd nee \ i? IM i mi r i i ?np i i nu ii \ rv more than these. This the other soon di KG o ve red, os she saw her sister, day by day, approaching the grate One day, she applied to.ber nude for assistance, but iras ronghly told that if she would "consent to marry his son, more would be done ! for them than had. been hitherto. . The proposition was, of course, firmly and instantly refused. Rut seeing that the persecution of both father and son would soon be uuendurable, the sisters one day left their uncle's roof, and betook themselves to. a place where they woro utterly un? known. For a long time the elder sister sought in rain fer'employ? ment; and, at last, to*avoid further privations and p?riclitions offered R helpless woman,- tho high-spirited girl was driven te a novel expedient that of donning male apparel." Her? the thrilling voice nguiu wavered, and a light was gradually breaking over my mind. But I kept, my eyes resolutely on tho door, until she gained courage and proceeded : "The young girl now engaged a room for au artist's studio, and to her joy, found that her talents and prod net ions were appreciated. After a short time, she wus enabled to placo her sister nt a good Behool, where her health would be turro to receive proper nttentiou. For a time, the young artist labored in? cessantly, scarcely leaving her canvas, and givmg herself but few hours for recreation. Port of a summer was spent ot a pleasant couutry place, from which she was recalled by the dangerous illness of her sister. When relieved of anxiety on her account, she returned again to her summer resort, but only to suffer many days of illness, caused by over-exertion. During this illness the lady of tho house proved herself to bo a true Christian and a noble, disinterested woman D&y by day she watched by the sick bed; and to her, anda warm? hearted girl in the sumo house, was confided tho story ot a young, strug? gling artist. After her recovery, tho young girl learned that a largo for? tune had been left her by a distant relative. Once moro the couutry j place was left behind, and with thankful hearts, the two sisters took possession of their ample inheritance. And now, though Helen Meredith earnestly desires Mr. Brookfield's good opinion, and knows that he does not appreciate a woman who has 'once left her proper sphere,' yet she has told him her story, and is ready to hear him speak for himself." "Andi, Helen, having heard your story, and understanding it, wait patiently to hear your answer to my question," I answered, quietly hold? ing out my hand. "Then you are satisfied with me?" she asked, tremblingly. "Perfectly," I answered, and her hand was lightly laid in mine. I had my answer. THE POLLOCK HOUSE.
