Aunt Mary ! Ah ! how my heart thrills at the sound of those words. She was so good-all who knew her loved her. It has now been more than two years since we laid her in her silent tomb. I often wondered, when I was a child, why Aunt Mary would go to a particular spot in the yard, and at, a certain hour every evening. I noticed, too, that her brown eyes were always filled with tears ws she left that place. I once heard my mother say to her, in a low tone, "Sister Mary, why will you go there, when you know it saddens You so much '?" "It helps me to bear my heavy burden," was the reply. I asked Aunt Mary once why she had never miarried. "My darling," she said, "wait until you aro old enough, and then I will tell you the secret of my life." Years passed by, my 'Aunt Mary growing dearer and dearer to us all every day. But I noticed that she began to fade very rapidly. She had that fell disease--conisumption ----which keeps one lingering so long m a dying condition. It filled inc with sadness whenever I looked upon that sweet, peaceful counten. antic, that emaciated form. One day when sh was able to sit up for somie little time, she c.lled me to her. I went, sat upon a stool near her, and laid my head on her lap. ".Lily," she said, "you remember I told you several years ago that wht. you were old enough, [. would tell you the secret of my life. You are now sixteen, and I will keep my promise. "There were only three of us your mother, Brother Will and I. We all lived very happily together, we were so fond of one another. You know your mother is much older than I, and she married when I was quite young. After she, left and Brother Will wont off to school, I was very lonely indeed, but I had a governess, and managed to while away the time. "After a time, when Brother came home he brought a young man with h- wa so lidolniMii m t -from the first moment we met I loved hima. Oh I that summer vaca tion--how happy it. Was to me ! But in our most joyful moments sOme thing mars our happiness. In look ing forward to our separation, I heartily wished that diys were weeks. It seemed that all my joy would vanish when he should leave. At last the time for parting came. They returned to college, and I was left alone. But then he was coning back with the flowers, he said, and I had that to look forward to. "I longed for the winter months to fly. "The next spring Edward came back. Before he loft he told me that old, old story. Oh I my heart throbs now as I recall those words 'Mary, my owvn, I love you"' So wve ware engaged. HeI thought it b~st to seek his fortune before ho took his bride, and determined to go to sime city and get into business. "I would have married him then, but he said, 'I am too poor for us to begin lifo's battle together yet.' "We corresponded after he left. Oh ! those precious letters--how anxiously I looked andl longed for them. I received one regularly every week. 'rime passed on. I wvas happy-for did I not hear from him often, and (lid he not many times in his letters tell mue of his great love ? "One night I wvas at a party, and as I was promenading the room with Mr. , I saw two young men talking very earnestly together. Presently I heard one of them say, 'It cannot be true, for he is engaged to Miss Mary Seiaton.' "'Yes, but it is true,' tihe other replied. 'Edward Gray was mar ried last month to Miss Anpiot Lyle. "It was my EdwvardI they were speaking gf,.I knew. Oh I how my heart .ached. A strange feeling passed over me.. 1 became insonsi ble., When I 'became ,consciou% 4 was lying ip my.,own roons . anxious faces bonding over~ me. I was ill for two weeks, and during that $imo not .a word was recoived from Eldward. "As sooun as i reicovered, I deter mined to retupp my engagement ring and all hiss oetters. I waiitedta few dmays, hopiu tlyap,, the grport ab ut6 pg ..o . dbe contr'adi9~ed. At gtsputthem. bota wooJk. a~trw ,de as Ir r ing. At the first sight of that long. loved form, I started to spring for ward, but then recollecting myself, I averted my eyes and waited what should follow. "'Mary, my darling,' he said, 'what is the matter ? Why did you return that ring, which bound us so close together ?' "'Mr. Gray,' I said, 'ask me not such a question. Do not insult me. I had not expected this visit from you. Farewell I I hope tve, shall never meet again, and if wo. do, wo shall appear perfect strangers.' "For one moment longer my eyes rested upon that face. How pale and sad it looked-and yet what had he done ? If he was not guilty of what they charged, why did he allow three weeks to pass without. pennmng ic t lino ? 'TPhen, ashampd. of my weakness, I sprang from, my seat, and ran into the house before' he had time to recover himself. As I entered the (oor I heard hint ory 'My Mary ! Would to God I could make you listen to me !' "I retired early that night, but in vain did I close these eyelids and try to resit. 'T'hat cry haunted me. Icould see his pleading eyes-those dear eyes that had made life so precious to me. "The next morning, as we were seated at breakfaslt, an old servant entered very hurriedly. "'0 Lord, Mass Will I Poor Niass Edward Gray was found dead a few hours ago. As he was crossing the bridge, it broke, and he fell into the river. He was drowned before any help reached him.' "'Twas too true. As the bridge was very near our house, my father had him conveyed there. Words mnot express the agony I endur, ed. "That very day my brother heard that the report about Edward was untrue. Oh! Lily, always learn the truth before you believe anything bout those you love. I hope erea long to meet my Edsytrd in Heaven. T~hen I shall be his -angol bride~' Her wish was indeed. realized, for,, not many weeks passed are shs left un for that world unknowvn, and for her Edward. MIGNONETTE. mXLaL n6 A. W 01du &.l.
