Divided Heart and a Divided Life.
BY MBS. SOCTHWOBTn.
It was early nn the) morning of s lovply
day in June, A. I). 1800, that s rather large
group of idlers gathered in front of the
Etheridgo Arms, a qonint oli tavern, in the
ancient little town of Swioboroe, in the west
of England.
Hy their looks and conversation, it was
evident that some event or unusual impor
tance was expected to come off.
They were, io fact, awaiting the arrival of
the mail coach, which was to bring down
Colonel Hastings, aod his son Albert, who
was the bridegroom elect of Lady Etheridgo,
Baroness of Swinburne, the last of her race,
aod sole heiress of the immense wealth and
vast eetates of ber lordly ancestors.
The nuptials were to be celebrated oo the
following day ; and the retainers and neigh
bors of the noble bride, who almost wor
shipped ber for her goodness of heart, were
anxious to see the man who was to be their
beloved "lady's" husband.
They bad not long to wait. The coach
soon came thundering on to the door ; and as
soon as the steps were let down by the obse
quious landlord, Colonel Hastings issued
forth. He was an elderly gentleman, tall,
spare, and stooping ; was clothed in a soit of
clerical black ; and bis pale, tbin, long face
was surrounded by hair and whiskers prema
turely gray. He was closely attended by his
secretary Ferdinand CaBsinove an Italian,
of such graceful mien aod dignified bearing,
that he might have beeo taken for a prince
of the blood attended by an old gentleman in
waiting.
Next came forth a yooog gentleman, whose
handsome person and haughty manner at
once attracted general attention. His form
was tall, and finely proportioned, crowned by
a hanghty head and face, with high nqoiline
features, fair and fresh complexion, light blue
tyes, and very light, flaxen hair. His ex--essioo
of couoteoaoce, in keeping with his
ole manner, was stern almost to repellent

? eyes were large, luminous, dark gray

After greeting coiooei jisiiuKi, u mi

parchment from a drawer in toe ceotr. iui,
aod banded it to ber guardiao. On examin

nriaa. and refused to acceDt tb deed, alleging
that socb aa act might give rise to unpleasant
criticism.
Oh. Colonel Haatinfa! there can M 00

After protesting somewhat farther against
snch noble generosity, the Colonel allowed
himself to be persuaded to accept the deed,
and called Io -Cassinove to witoess its execu
tion In due form The poor secretary conld
scarcely hold the pea which the Colonel
banded him, so great was bis agitation. His
employer could not help remarking opon the
onnsoally poor signature which the Italian
affixed, as witness, to the deed ; but little did
the colonel or the baroness know the terrible
passion that icere leethinq in the secretary'
toul, or the important resxdt that they were
destined to bring about.
We will oow return to the bridegroom elect
whom we left at theSwinborne Arms.
Colonel Hastings bad scarcely left the
room ere Mr. Albert Hastiogs arose, stretched
himself witb a weary yawn, and began to pace
thoughtfully op and down the floor, murmur
log "Men think me a very fortonate and happy
man ; and, doobtless, an unusual number of
good gifts have been showered opon me by
the favor of the blind goddess not the least
among them would be esteemed the hand of
this wealthy yonog baroness, my bride expec
tant. Well, we cannot have everything we
want io this world, else sweet Rose Elmer
only should be the wife of Albert Hastings.
I'oorgirll she little dreams of the man who
has wooed her, nnder the name of William
Lovel, is really Albert Hastings, the envied
bridegroom of the high boro Lady Etheridge
of Swinburne. It cannot be helped. lean
not pause for lady's right, or maiden's honor.
Here, then, for a divided life ; my hand to
the lady of Swinburne my heart to the love
ly cottage girl ; only Lady Etheridgn must
never know of Rose Elmer and William
Lovel, nor must Rose Elmer know Lady
Etheridge and Albert Hastings. And now
to persuade Rose to go be Tore me into Wales,
where myself and my lady-bride are to spend
our honeymoon."
And so Baying, he took bis hat, nnd strolled
ont into the street.
Taking a course oppposite to that which
led to Swinburne Castle, Albert Hastings
soon came to o cross-country road, which he
followed for some two miles and then turoing
into a by path, he went on ontil he came to a
secluded aod lovely cottage. Opening the
door of this elegant retreat with a latch-key
be passed in. It was a lovely abode, fit for
for the homo or a fairy. Aod for a fuiry
Albert Hastings bad it furnished. The fairy's
name was Rose Elmer, and she was the
daughter of the villiage laundress. Albert
bad accidentally met ber oo one of his visits
to the castle, and, as his soliloquy, given
above, shows, had fullen desperately in love
witb ber; and, under the assumed name of
William Lovell, bad won the beautiful and
innocent moiden's bcart.
He bad the cottage furnished, and was that
morning to meet Rose there, where they bad
so olten met, by appoiotment. Rose came at
last ; and as sooo as the first joyous greetings
were over, the intriguing lover set to work to
persuade her to consent to a secret marriage ;
as be well knew, by a thousand tests of char
acter, tbat be could never gain his purpose
Doles Rose believe herself to be bis wife. His
task was a bard one ; but he finally succeeded
by promising tbat she should stay witb ber
mother just the same, as long as she lived.
This was not all tbat Mr. Hastings wished
but neither logic nor eloquence could convince
or persuade Rose Elmer to desert her ailing
mother; and npon no other condition than
that of being allowed to remain witb berwould
sbe coosent to the secret marriage.
And, finally, be obtaioed a promise from
Rose that sbe would meet bim at the cottage
tbat same night, where, by a previoos ar
rangement, bis confidential servant disguised
as a clergyman, was to be io attendance to
5erform the marriage ceremony. After which
lose should return to her mother, to remaio
during the few weeks of bis absence in Wales,
wither he said, important business forced
him. This ogreed opon, they took leave of
each other for a few hoars, aod returned to
tbe village by different routes. Mr. Hastings
went to bis inn, and summoned his confidential
servant to his presence. And Rose Elmer,
full of bope end joy, turned down tbe street
leading to ber mother's cottage,
Wbeo Rose entered the bouse, there was a
smouldering fire io tbe grate, and besides this
ore, in an old arm chair, sat a remale, wnom
no ooe would have passed without a second
look. Sbe was a woman of commanding pre
sence. Her form was tall, and must once
ave beeo finely rounded ; but now it was
woro tbio, almost to skeleton meagreness.
1er restores were nobly chiselled, and mtgui
once have been grandly beautiful, bat nsw
tbey were sunken and emaciated as those of
death. Under ber broad and prominent fore
bead, aod heavy black eye-brows, shone a pair
of large, dark-gray eyes, tbat burned fiercely
with the fire or fever or or trenzy. nerjei
black bair, slightly 3treaked with silver, was
hair covered with a red handkerchief, tied
beneath her chin, and partly fallen in elf
locks down oca side of ber face. A
rusty black gown aod shawl completed ber
dress.
As tbe door opened, admittiog Hose, sbe
turned quickly in ber chair, Gxing ber eyes
witb a look or tierce inquiry upon toe intru
der. "How are rou now. mother dear? I bope
yon feel io better spirits T" said Rose laying
off her bonnet, and coming to tbe wouiau s
side.
'Better. Where have voo been I I have

And the woman suddenly struck ber band
upon ber heart, dropped ber bead upon ber
breast, and aeemed convulsed by some great
agony. Her features worked frightfully, ber
frame shuddered.

THE PLAYMATE.
HI JOHN O. WUITTIKR.
The pines were dark on Rnmnth hill,
Their song was sort and low ;
The blossoms io the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet,
Tbe orchard birds sang clear ;
The sweetest and the saddest day
It seemed of all the year.
For, more to me than birds or (lowers,
My playmate left her borne,
And took with her the laughing spring,
The music and tbe bloom.
She kissed the lips of kith and kio.
She laid ber hand in mine;
What more could ask the bashful boy
Who fed her father's kioe?
She left as in the bloom of May;
The constant years told o'er
Their seasons with as sweet May morns,
But she came back no more.
I walk, with noiseless feet, the round
Of uneventful years,
Still o'er and o'er 1 sow the spring
And reap the autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year
Her summer roses blow ;
Tbe dusky children of tbe sun.
Before ber come end go.
There haply with ber jewelled bands
She smooths her silken gown
No more the homespun lap wherein
I shook tbe walnuts down.
The wild grapes wait ns by the brook,
The brown nats on the hill.
And still the May-day flowers make sweet
The woods of Follymill.
Tbe lilies blossom in the pond,
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Rsmotb hill
Tbe slow song of the sea.
I wonder if she thinks of tbeni,
And bow the old time seems
U ever tbe pines of Ramoth wood
Are sounding in ber dreams.
I see ber face, I bear ber voice :
Does she remember mine ?
And what to ber is now the boy
Wbo fed bar father's kioe?
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours,
Tbat other bands witb nnts are filled,
And other laps witb flowers?
O playmate io tbe golden time !
Our mossy seat is green,
Its fringing violets blossom yet,
Tbe old trees o'er it lean.
Tbe wind so sweet witb birch and Torn
A sweeter memory blow ;
And there in spring the veeries sing
The song of long ago.
And still tbe pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like tbe sea
Tbe moaning of tbe sea of change
Between myself and thee I

Intrrkkrimj with I'RovinKMcK. Wj have
a curious story of a professed Christian, who
owns a large pile of money, and is generally
behved to love it most deatly. A poor
neighbor was in great need or a small loan, by
means or which he could save his little home
from being forfeited and lost. He called on
the man wbo owned tbe money and requested
a little aid. The man considered the case,
and at lonirtb replied :
"Well. Mr. .Tones, I bave the money, it is
true, and conld spare it, and would do so if
it were not for one consideration. It seems
that Providence designs that yoa should
suffer this trial, and ir I should help yon out,
I might interfere with the purposes of Provi
ders io regard to you."

Thr Gratk Olltl rk. For tbe last two or
three years, the oat-door culture or grapes
bas become a mania, everybody seems to be
rashing into it, so that it is not oocommon to
find in tbe garden or amateurs, from fifteen
to forty varieties and daily additions as new
varieties, of which there is an abundance, ara
brought into notice by their anxious disco
verers.
As we indite this notice, however, to maka
just so many lines, to order, our object is to
reler to an opinion wuiun is beginning to Una
believers we among the number tbat tha
grape-vine is too much cultivated; it is forced
too much and pruned too much in a word
doctor'd too much. Among the best and
most perfect bunches or Isabella grapes we
ever saw, were some raised opon our premi
ses, without trenching, drainiog or a particle
ot manure ; indeed, there was not over two
inches of common soil on the surface, all
below being brickbats, stones, mortar, sha

Corns Ccrkd. Hall' Journal of Health
good authority gives ns this mode : Tha
safest, tbe most accessible, and the most
efficient cure or a corn oo the toe, is to doubla
u piece or thick, soft buckskin, cut a bole in
it large enough to receive tbe corn, and bind
it around the toe. If, io addition to this, tba
foot is soaked in warm water, for five or
more minutes every morning and night, ami
few drops of sweet oil or other oily sub
stance are patiently rubbed in on tba end
after the soaking, tbe corn will almost infal
libly become loose enough in few days to
be easily pricked out with a finger nail; this
saves the necessity of paring the coro, which
operatioo bas sometimes been followed with
painlul and dangerous symptoms. If tba
coro becomes inconvenient again, repeat tha
process at once.
Scalds and Burns. The best, most in
stantaneous and most accessible remedy ia
the world, is to thrust the injured part in
cold water, send for a physician, and while ba
is coming cover tbe part so inch or mora
deep with common flour. Tba water gives
instantaneous reiiei by excluding lbs oxygen
of tbe air ; tbe flour does tbe same thing, but
is preferable, because it can be kept mora
continuously applied, witb less inconvenience,
than by keeping tbe parts nnder water. As
they get well, the flour scales off, or is easily
moistened and removed. If the injury is at
all severe, tba patient should live mainly on
tea or toast, or gruels, and keep tbe bowels
acting freely every day, by eating raw apples,
stewed fruits, and like. No better and mora
certain care for scalds and barns bas ever
been proposed. I hid.
Poi-i.ticks. As to inflamatioo, sores, cuts.
wounds by rusty nails, etc., tbe great remedy
is warmth and moisture, because these pro
mote evaporation and cooling ; whatever kind
of poultice is applied, tbat is best wbicb keens

hence cold, light, (wheateo) bread, aoaked in
sweet milk, is one of the very best known.
1 bere is no specibo virtue in tbe repulsive
remedy of the "entrails of a live chicken," of
scraped potatoes, turnips, beers, carrots, or
any other scrapings ; the virtue consists in
tbe mild moisture or the application. Hence,
the memory need not be burdened witb tba
recollection or particular kinds or poultices,
but only with the principle tbat tbat poultice
s best which keeps moist longest without
disturbance. Ibid.
