Adelaide Talbot was beautiful and lore ly in her youth, deatly loved by all, bul beat by those of ber own fireside oirclo; she wan, indeed, the richest. gem in thai circle. When the long lashes were lifted from her ever changing cbeek, you conld look into the very soul of the high.roindod unny hearted girl. Six years before she had stood in her father's low parlor or Thankgiving ere?she had stood between that father and mother, to whose faces she lifted her soul speaking eyes, the bride of an hour. And aa thu mother's good rasp, berry wine, carefully bottled up for the occasion, went around, she dreamed not that in that cup there lurked a demon that should overthrow the altar just erected, Caleb Reynolds was now a drunkard and a deserter from hia home. He had enlisted, it was thought, in an lionr of in* toxication?but bis wife was left to learn it from other lips. He went uithont one word of farewell, to the plains of Mexico, and nover since had she heard of hira. Poor Adelaide carried her crushed heart back to hor father's house. lonKina only to be laid io the grave. Have you ever seen a tree in our Western lores'* blighted he "girdling." as the woodman calls it e ?out off Iroiu it* connection with the life giving earth, and then left to withor fur years ?
