In thc Garret. ,
Four little chests all in a row,
Dim with duet mid worn by tiino,
AU fashioned and Ailed, long ago,
By children now in their piime;
Four little keys hung Bide by nid-,.
With faded ribbons, brave and gay;
Whoo faetnucd there with childish pride,
Long ago, ou a rainy day.
Four iittl<' naines, ono on each lid,
Carved out by a boyish band.
And underneath there beth hid
Histories of tho happy band
Once playing here, and pausing oft
To near the sweet,refrain, . '
That carno and went; on tho roof aloft,
In tho falling tuiniaur rain.
"Meg" on the first lid, smooth and fair
I look in "'with loving eves,
For folded here, with well-known care,
A goodly gathering lien-' -
The record of a peaceful life,
Gifts to gent?o child and girl,
A bridal gown, lines to a wile,
A tiny shoe, a baby curl.
No toys in this tiret chest remain,
For all aro carried away,
In their old ago, to join again
In another small Meg's play.
Ab! happy mother, well I know
You bear, like a ?wert refrain,
Lullabies .ever soft and low
In tho falling summer rain.
"Jo" on tho next lid, scratched and worn,
And within a motley storo
Of headless dolly, of school-books torn,
Birds and beasts that speak no more;
Spoils brought home from.tho fairy ground
Only trod by youthful feot,
Dreams of a future never found,
Memories of a past still sweet;
Half-writ poems, stories wild.
April letters, warm and cold,
Diaries of a wilful child,
Hints of a woman early old;
A woman in a lonoly home,
Hearing like a sad refrain^
..'Bo worthy love, aud lovo will come,"
In the falling summer rain.
. My "Both!" tho dust is always swept
From tho lid that bears your name,
As if by loving eyes that wept.
By careful hands that often carno.
Death canonized for us one saint,
Ever less human t lian divino,
And still wo lay, with tender plaint,
Belies in this household shrine
Tho silver bell, so soldom rung,
The! littlo cap which last she wore,
Tho fair, dead Catharine that hung
By angels borne above her door;
The songs sho sang, without lamont,
In her prison-house of pain,
Forevor aro they sweetly blent
With tho falling summer rain.
Upon the last lid's polished Hold
Legend now both fair and true
A gallant knight bears on his a hi? ld
"Amy," in letters gold and blue.
Within, the snoods that bound her hair,
Slipper a that havo danced their last,
Paded flowers laid by with care,.
? Pana whoso airy toils are past,
-Gay valentines' all ardent flamee,
Trifles thal have borne their part
In girlish hopes and fears and shames;
The record of a maiden" heart,
Now learning fairer, truer spells,
Hearing, like a blithe refrain,
The silver sound of bridal bells
In the falling summer rain.
Four littlo cheats, all in a row.
Dim with dust and worn by time;
Four women, taught by weal and woe
To love and labor in their prime;
Four sisters, parted for an hone, .
None lost, one only gone before,
Made by love's immortal power
Nearest and dearest evermore.
O, when these hidden stores of ours
. Lio open to the Father's sight,
May they bo rich in golden hours.
Deeds that show fairer for tho light!
Lives whose brave music long shall ring
Like a spirit-stirring strain;
Souls that shall gladly soar and sing
In the long sunshine after rain.
THE minni's TOM H.
The incident which I am about to re?
late is one of the many evideuces of tho
oft-repeated saying, that truth is stranger
than fiction. Scieuco, which has opened
so many doors, which has solved riddles
harder than tho Hphynx over propounded
to tho Thebans, looks with silence upon
a certain kind of phenomenon which hus !
puzzled wiser heads thun mine, and
which Webster classes under tho nebu?
lous word supernatural.
Quite as lucid is the definition of those
who deny the agency of other than phy?
sical or natural causes in producing this
class of events. Imagination, coinci?
dence, optical illusion?, are the blankets
which these superbly practical people;
shower upon the heads of ?ll who may
be inclined to exclaim with tho poet: j
"There are more things in Heaven and
earth, Horatio, than ure dreamt of in j
your philosophy." That the writer was
not extinguished years ago by ono or
more of these wot blankets, may bo ac?
cepted ns proof that they aro not so po?
tent for the purpose as many good
people imagino them to be. I repeat,
truth is stranger than fiction, which re?
petition means that I am not exercising
my imagination. I beg to stato that 1
am too profoundly ignorant for any such
mental exercise. I wrote, conscious of
but ono reason. 'Tis tho 29th of March,
the anniversary of nn ever memorable
night. Liko Coleridge'fi "Ancient Ma?
riner," my heart is filled with a woful
agony, and 1 am constrained to repeat
tho tale.
Years ago, I was invited to spend thc
month of March with a family with whom
I enjoyed tho most-intimate relations.
This family consisted of throe persons
Mr- ?nd Mrs. Lindon, and thoir daugh?
ter Mario, a lovely girl of nineteen.
Marie was to bo married on tho 26th
of tho month, and it wns tho desire of
both mother and daughter that I should
upend as much time with them asl could
previous to tho event. It ha? been so
often asserted that thero can be no real
lovo between women, that tho saying
has come to bo accepted as truth. I
have no heart to-night to make any at?
tempt at refuting this absurd error; but
that it is an error my lovo for Mario Lin?
den would ho convincing proof in my
own heart, though I had never loved an?
other woman.
A popular writer has Buid that "to
have a laco that can look beautiful for
those who love it, on whom it looks with
love, is enough for ordinary women."
Such a faco had Mario Linden; yet, dear?
ly as I loved her, I doubt if I can con?
vey any clear impression of it to the
reader. Hazel eyes, auburn hair, and a
bright complexion, toll nothing-it was
not in form or color that the beauty lay.
Perhaps it was because the face was so
sweet and true, or perhaps it was in the
eyes, ; which were; ' serene to tho very"
depths-au inward sereuity, which made
it impossible to associate- anything akin
to sorrow with' their possessor-j know
1 not-and must proceed with.my story. (
Mr. Lindon's houso was sibilated on a
crest of rising ground, about a mile dist
tant from an old sea-port town. It oom
mauded a variety of scenery, which must
havo satisfied tho most difficult taste.
Tho house faced the North, fronting tho
broad bay, which 'swept into tho open
?ca. Between tho bay and the houso, a
broad expanse of level ground extended
fonxuiles-nlong the coast. On tho South,
ern side woreriohly wooded slopes, with
strotches of meadow between, where, in
tho season, the ripened grain waved like
a billowy sen. Tho East side command?
ed a viow of the town; hero distance lent
its u.sunl enchantment to the picture.
Midway between the town nod Mr.
Linden's house stood the gray church
which Mr. Linden, with his wife and
daughter, nlways attended, and where
two or three generations of Mrs. Lin?
den's family wero buried. Tho white
columns which marked the graves of Mrs.
1 ii mb n's parents, and one daughtor, who
hud died young wero on a clear day
distinctly visible from the houso.
The month passod rapidly,- as the
mouths always do when people aro ab?
sorbed. Marie was to marry tho man of
her own choosing, and a man that her
parents would have chosen for ber, could
their choice have comprehended tho
world. Tho love of Mario Linden and
George Percival was flat contradiction to
tho ^ld saying, that "tho course of truo
lovo never runs smooth." During the
two-years' engagement, no shadow had
ever darkened their puradise-it had been
a clear sky, a bright sunshine, from first
to last.
Tho 29th arrived, and the first part of
tho programme, which had long been ar?
ranged, was carried out. Tho ceremony
took placo at 4 o'clock in tho after?
noon, only a few intimate friends being
present; but there was to bo a bridal
party in the evening, nnd on tho follow?
ing day the bride aud groom wero to
sturt on their bridul tour. *
Nine o'clock soon caine, when the
rooms were filled with tho beauty and
aristocracy of both town and country.
Never was there a moro beautiful bride
than Marie Percival. Never was there ?
happier groom than her husband. Nover
waa there a gayer company than waa as?
sembled that night under Mr. Liuden's
roof. Yet most of the guests bavo proba?
bly retained only such recollection of the
evening as au unusually pleuvant party
might leave upon the mind.
But for me, it is branded on my me?
mory with a strength which years have
had uo power to dim. The almost sum?
mer warmth of tho night, the blue sky
without ? cloud, the stars, tho full moou,
which Ut up the old gruy church, and
the two white columns. Within there
was the bewildering light, the perfume
of the flowers, the music of tho waltz,
and the rapid whirl of tho waltzers, as
they floated past the open window,
whore I stood gazing attentively upon
the two pictures-one without and ono
within. It was there that Mario joined
me, chiding mo, in her pretty girlish
way, for not joining in the waltz. I told
her that I had been better entertained;
then, putting the lace curtains further
back, I drew her close to tho window,
?nd4 wo stood- there, hand clasped in
hand, for at least five minutes; sho gaz?
ing out upon beautiful night, talking ol
George and of her expected trip, with
sometimes a loving word for myself; J
gazing upon her, thinking how well her
bridal robo became, when I saw tho color
slowly fading out from her sweet face. J
j thought it was tho moon-light, and was
[goiug to draw tho curtains, when sin
[stopped me. Pointing to the mou il men t?
in the church-yan!, which wero as visible
j as at mid-day, "How many aro there?"
sho said.
"Two, dear," I answered. "You
know there never were more."
"J count three," sho said.
i turned my eyes upon the mono
meuts, almost expecting to sue a third:
but to me there wero ouly two. Yet 1
felt the hand which was clos|>ed in
mino grow cold and rigid, while her face
bad become like tho marble upon whicli
her eyes were so intently fixed. 1
strove to draw her from tho window-il
wus impossible. I entreated her to spent:
to me-it was of no avail. Thoroughly
alarmed, I said I would call Mr. Perei
val.
"No, no, not him," sho answered,
while a perceptible shudder ran throng!
h or frame.
But his name had roused her from hei
strange lethargy, or trance, or wbutovei
it might have been.
"I was reading tho words," sho said
"What words, Mario?" I answered.
"You know the words on thc monti
men ts; and if you did not, you could no
read timm ut such a distance."
She replied: "I am speaking of tin
third ono; it is t.iller than,the other two
and tho words aro SQ distinct: 'Sacred tc
the memory of Mario PerciWU, who diet
February 5, 18-, aged nineteen yean
and eleven months."'
"Hush, Marie!" I said.' "I cannot
hear you talk so;" and, happily for mo
Mr. Percival, who was looking for bi:
bride, discovered her at this moment
A few rapid steps brought him to hoi
side.
"Why, Mario," ho said, "you are a
palo aa ono of Horace Walpole's ghosts
bah! it is thia ghastly moonlight!"'
Ho drew tho curtains together, aud
saw the color como back to her faco a
ho boro her away. But I know it ha/
gone from mine. I knew there was ai
unearthly pallor on my own faco, aa
sat there with my back to tho moonlight
and still the musicians playod on-it wa
Weber's waltz, and it seemed as if thc
waltzers would never tire; my braii
reeled, and circled, and quivered, am
still they played on, and still th
waltzors waltzed-then Marie and he
husband floated by, tho merriest, among
I them alL .1 . . > ;
! Am I tho victim of a dream? I said.
Did Mario Percival stand bj my sido a
moment ago, reading the inscription
opon her owu tomb? was that true? or
is this truo? for at that moment it did
hot Boom to mo that- both could bo tros/
Just as I was losing the' power,{o solve
this or any other question, the waltz end?
ed and supper followed. Shortly niter
tho party broke tip, ont? Mario kissed mo
good ni ir lit, without making any nil ir
sion to tho singular episodo which had.
mado such a painful impression-'on my
mind.
Marlo kissed mo "good night," I said,
but it was - in - reality good-bya, foras
they were torlea ve by 5 o'clock tho next
morning, I - did not expect to see her
again until her retnrn'.- This would bo
in about four weeks^J and I had promised
to remain wiih h?r* parents Until that
time. But fato detiaod "otherwise. A
fow lines from au only-brother informed
ino that ho had just decided to carry out
a long-cherished wish, which was- to go
with his wife to Europe. It was their!
desiro that I should accompany.them.
As wo were to start in less than ti week,:
I was obliged to burry hotnd. * .
I left a fow lines for Marie,.stating,
that I would writ? to her as soon aa pos?
sible, aud let her know whoro to address
a letter to me.
It is not my purpose to speak "Of my
lifo in Europe-whero wo 'went of what
wo Baw-only this: My brother could
never understand my disliko to visiting
tho tombs of tho dead.
"I do not liko rummaging iu grave?
yards," I would say to him. So, too,
with all moonr-light nights; so beautiful
to him, but which were, and always will
bo, a ghustly horror to me.
I wrote frequently to Mario and her
mother, but my brother had no fixed
plan, and os wo were constantly on tho
move, it was impossiblo for mo to re?
ceive any replies.
We remaiued abroad until the follow
ing April, a littlo more than a year. The
day ofter our arrival home, I .tarted for
Mr. Liudeu's. I cannot exactly tell
whut my feelings wore as tho cars neared
tho old town. Certainly I was not us
calm as I would ha-o been without that
disturbing vision. But if nny one had
asked me if I believed in tho possibility
of its truth, I should have answered,
"No."
It ivas 4 o'clock when I orrived at thc
end of my journey. A few minutos' walk
brought me to tho house. I raug the
bell, which was answered by un old To?
rnau whom I had frequently seen during
my previous visits.
"Come in," she snid; "Mr. and Mrs.
Linden are in Europe; you did not kuow
it, perhaps.", .
"I know nothing," I replied, quickly;
"I have just returned from Europe my?
self." .
I could not ask about Mario;, but I
arose aud went to tho window; tho one
that looked'out upon the church-ynrd.
and I saw-yes, reader, I saw . tho third
monument; in 'ten minutes I stood before
it. "With a brain too paralyzed to admit
xii surprise, orj*ny?fltb??.r- feeling, I rencL
"Sacred to the Memory' of Marie Perci?
val, who died February 5, 18-, nged
nineteen years and cloven mouths." 4
I don't know how long it was before I
was aroused by the old woman from tho
stupor into which I had fallen. Becom?
ing alarmed at my long stay, she had
come out to find me. From her I learn?
ed ull I shall ever know. I will tell it in
as few words as-possible.
On that day, Morie','with her husband,
and two or three other young friends,
I hud gone out on the bay, us was theil
! frequent custom when the weather wai
I tine. I gathered, from what tho woman
' said, that tho day bad been unusually
calm, but that a sudden nquull had thrown
: thc boat against a low reef of slimy,
weed-covered rocks, which ran out inti
the water, lt did not upset thebouft bul
I Mrs. Percival was thrown out. Tho nc
cidcut happened on tho seaward sido ol
tho rooks, and though Mr. Percival was
a pood swimmer, and remained in tin
water until ho was dragged out by om
of the party, yet Mrs. Percival was no
found until some hours afterwards.
1 have only to add, that Mr. Linden,
who was an Englishman, took hts wife t<
I Europe, hoping that in chango of seem
she might recover from the shock. Bul
shu died shortly afterwards and was bu
ried there. Mr. Linden has never rc
j turned to this country.
Of MT. Georgo Percival I know noth
ing. Whether lie married again, 01
whether ho is ?till mourning for his los
bride, I eau nut say. But, reader, I hnv<
told you a truo story-tho solution ]
