I'll tell tho story, kissing
This whllo hnnd for my pains,
No sweet heatl, no f.ilscr
E'er llllcd such fine bluu veliw.
I'll slug n song of tmo love,
My Mlinlitivirl to you j
Otnlrarltf contlttrtli
This rulo Is only true,
Tho happiest of all lovers
WVis Ernst of Edclshclm i
And why ho was tho happiest,
I'll tell yon In my lliymo,
Ono summer night ho waudcied
Within n lonely ulado,
Aud, couched In moss nnd moonlight,
Ho found n sleeping maid.
Tho stars of midnight sifted
Abovo her sands of gold i
Bho seemed a slumbering slaluo,
Bofilrnnd vihllo nud cold,
Fair nnd whllo nud rold i.lio l.iy
Beneath tho starry bUIos i
Rosy was her wnklug
Beucalh tlio Hitter's eyes.
Ho won her drowsy fancy,
Ho bore her lo his towers,
And swift with love and laughter
Flow morning's purplo houri,
Bui when tho thickening sunbeams
Had drunk tho Kloainlii;; dew,
A misty cloud of sorrow
Swept o'er her oyes' deep blue.
Sho hung upon tho Ritter's nock,
Sho wept with love nud pain,
Bho showered her swcot warm kisses
Llko fragrant summer rain.
"I am no Christ Ian soul," sho nobbcJ,
As lu Ids arms sho lay ;
"I'm half tlio day a wonvm,
A sorpc nt li nlf tbo day.
"And when from yonder boll-tower
Rings out tho noon-day chime,
I'aiowell I FaroTColl forever,
Sir Ernst of Edolshelm 1"
"Ah! notfatoweli forever 1"
Tho Hitter wildly cried,
"I will bo saved or lost with thoo,
My lovely WUI-Brldo 1','
Loud from tho lordly bell-tower
Rang out tho noon of day,
Aud Irom tho bower of roses
A serpent slid away.
But when tlio mid watch moonlight
Was shimmering through tho grovo,
Ho clasped his brldo thrlce-dowerod
With beauty aud with lovo.
Tho happiest or all lovers
Was Ernst of Edclshclm,
Ills truo lovo was a serpent
Only half tho tliuo !

man, on whoso palo faco somo tloop sor
row had loft Its tract). As ho sat lean
ing thoughtfully back iu his chair, his
dark eyes fixed on tho glowltig coals in
tho gralo,his countenatico wore a' troub
led, anxious oxpression.
lio was not alono ; his daughter, a
girl of eighteen, wa3 with him, and her
face, too, was clouded with sadness. As
sho tossed back her bright curls, and
aised iicr oyes lovingly and trustingly
to her father, who had so tenderly sup-
lied her mother's placo, proving that
men, too, havo a deep fount of tender
ness in their natures, which, at times,
can even bomatcnal; tho parent's heart
smoto him for tlio pain lio was Inflict
"g.
But tno lector of Rtvington never
paused when ho had a duty to perform;
however painful that duty was, ho
walked up untliuchingiy to it, oven as
tho bravo soldier walks up unllinchlng
ly lo tho I'utmrm'ti mouth, Turning his
sad oyes on his daughter, ho said.
"My child, you know that your hap
piness is as dcar,ovon dearer to mo than
my life, and I cannot willingly consent
to your throwing it ttway."
"Yes, father," sho said, wlilio tho
tears gathered lu her eyes, and fell
slowly down in great drops on her lap,
I know how tenderly you lovo me,
how you havo been father, mother,
nurso, and friend to mo, throwing only
sunshino around my way, and shield
ing mo from ovcry sorrow, and"
'Yes, yes, my child," interrupted
tho rector, with emotion, "and will con-
tintio lo do so, if you will only permit
me. My child, my child, I cannot stand
quietly by and seo you throw thojowel
happiness away, and not put fortli my
hands to stay you, my voico to implore
you."
His tones woro full of emotion, whllo
Ids framo troinbled wiUi tho intensity
of his feelings.
"My child," ho continued, "If over a
parent's heart Is stirred to Its deepest
dopths, It Is when ho sees tho daughter
ho has tenderly nurtured link her fato
with that of a drunkard. I cannot stand
by aud seo thissacrlllco without crying
out, 'My God, my God, glvo mo
strength to bar out from my homo this
terriblo evil; glvo mo tho power to
shield and to savo my chlkl from this
gigantic misery a misery so deqp that
uo plummet can sound its depths Its
fearful depths."
Alice Carington's faco grow deadly
palo as her futherspako, and sho cried
out, In tones of agony,
"O, father, spare mo all this j I havo
not tho strength to send from mo tho
only matt I lovo savo my father. It Isa
dreary thing, dear father, fur a woman
to tear out from her heart tho lovo of
her girlhood and her womanhood, and
to walk forovcrmoro alone. How cm
my lips over say to tho maul love, 'Go
I cannot marry you.' "
"My child, you must,"
"I lovo him, father."'
"Tear your lovo out of your heart,
before It rends your hoart," lio said bit
tcrly.
"O, father," she moaned.
"Bettor thut, jny child, than hug an
affection which can firing you only sor
row u grief whoso talon claws will
rend apart your very body and soul.
Alico, Alico, you know not what It Is to
bo a drunkard's wife,"
''I will roform him aftor wo aro innr
ried,"sho said, oagorly.
"Roform him tlrst, and marry him
afterwards, my daughter j but it woman
sadly overrates her strength when sho
marries a drunkard to reform him."
"Goorgo Granville lovos mo, father ;
nnd you know wlioro tlicrd Is lovo on
tkolhusband's part.tliorols iniluoncoon
that of tho wlfo."
Tho rector shook his heatl' Badly, and
implied!
"My child, whero tho vlcoa of mon
aro confirmed, women can po?soss very
llttlo inlluonco over them. I know that
your Bonsltlvo heart shrinks back af
frighted atthoidoa of being iidriinkatd'a
wlfo : wlMi your ignoraneo of men, you
think that lovo can accomplish miracles
with them, and that tho drunken lover
will proyo rt sober husband. Ah I my
child, liifiny n poor, foolish woman has
wrecked her hopes of happiness on Just
Btich a fallacy ns this."
Tho tears Uhat had beon slowly fall
ing from tho girl's oyes, now carao
down In torrents. 'Sho laid her head on
tlio tablo bosldo her, nnd Bobbed pas
sionately. Her father was prepared to
seo her griovo, but ho did notnnticipalo
so wild n storm of grief ns this. Ho
know that his child loved, with all tho
ardor of her till'ecllonato naturo, tho
man who had sought her in marriage.
Ho was handaomo, intelligent and
ainlablo; but ond terriblo falling ovor
shadowed theso qualities ; ho was a
drunkard. Ho could plunge a woman
Into misery, but ho could add nothing
to her happiness.
And whilo tho girl wept, tho rector of
Rivlngton sat with his sad eyes fixed
upon her. Ho know that ho could glvo
her no comfort : ho might oven seem,
in her eyes, llko tho cruel destroyer of
her peace ; but Willi tho bitter romcm
branco of tho past still gnawing at his
heart, ho felt that ho had a stern duty
to perform, and, with tho help of his
heavenly Father, perform it ho would.
Ho walled until hor passlonato grief had
spent itself; thon lio approached her,
and pirtlng asldo her curls, kissed her
lovingly on her wot cheek. Ho drow
her to rt chair near him, and said, with
deop emotion thrilling In his tones :
"My chlld,lotmotoll you tho history
of a man's llfo and a woman's death,
aud then answor mo, if I do any wrong
in crying out from tlio very dopths of
my heart, 'My Fathor In heaven, savo
my child, my precious child, from tho
doom of tho drunkard's wife' ''
Alice Caringtou looked witli wonder
ing oyes at her father ; sho had nover
scon him so deeply moved, and thcro
was a tono of agonized patho3 iu his
voico that told of bouio hidden woo.
Tlio rector of Rtvington leaned back
In his armchair, and closed his eyes for
a moment, as if looking inwardly. His
faco was palo, and it ovidently cost him
a pninful effort to unearth tho sad story

opening liis oyos nnd fixing Uioni on
tho flro with that peculiar gazo which
wo S'.)iucHrac3 seo In tlio eyes of those
who aro exploring tho dim recesses of
the past, tho rector commenced, In low,
earnest tones, his story, whilo his
daufilitcr fixed her mournful eyes on
her father a3 ho thus spoko :
"Clarence Mcdway was tho son of an
English gentlloman, a man of wealth,
culturo and refinement. Ho gavo his
childrenovery ndvantago which inonoy
could bestow.and his daughters aud his
sons, with ono exception, grow up all
that thomost loving parents could wish
But this ono, this boy Clarcnco, was a
wild, dissipated fellow, plunging into
shameful excesses, and wasting tliopro-
clous hours of youth In tho haunts of
folly and tho homes of crime. Ho gavo
his parents many an anxious hour, as
such boy always do; fortunate, most
fortunato was it for them that they slept
tho quiet sleep of tho gravo before this
boy, dishonored and degraded, brought
untold misery to tlio hearts that loved
him.
Tho rector's voico trembled with
emotion, but recovering himsolf, ho
continued:
"This boy, tenderly beloved by his
parents, and who had been so carefully
reared, grew from bad to worso ; and
when ho reached man's estate, lio was a
confirmed drunkard."
"There lived on tho next placo to
Medway Manor, a lovely girl, namod
iMIco Richmond, whom Clarcnco Med
way loved. Sho was young, younger by
year than you, my daughter, for she
was only soventeen. Sho was n sweet,
ilovo-llk.o girl, gontlo and loving, tho
idol of her parents and fricn(ls,and rich
in every blessing that mado lifo dosira
bio. Thcro never had been a sorrow on
her heart; and no minor nolo walled
through tho songs that sho sung. Oh,
that so fair a life should havo been so
cruelly blasted, blasted, too, by tho
man to whom she had given tho price
less gift of her young affections.
"Clarence Medway sought iicr iu
marriage. Ho hid from Iicr ills body
and soul destroying voico ; sho know
not that tho man who breathed passion
ato lovo vows in her cars, was an habi
tual drunkard. Sho had heard him
called 'wild,' and in her girlish fond
iitsi, her girlish ignoraneo, sho thought
sho could tamo him down, and mako
him a quiet, sober, domestic husband.
Hor parents, howovor, knew that sho
was about to peril her happiness, and
expostulated with her, my daughtor,
oven ns I havo expostulated with you.
But sho could not seo tho great, black,
frowning rock standing out iu what
seemed n smiling; sho know not
how, on that rock, tho rock of intern
poranco, her fairest hopes would stiller
a cruel shipwreck. Whllo tlio paronts
wero expostulating, tho lover was urg.
ing, and, ono stormy night, Alico Rich
mond, taking her destiny in her own
hands, stolo forth from her happy homo
and married Clarcnco Medway."
Tho rector of Itlvlngton nroso from
his scat and hastily paced tho floor. Ho
stopped in front of his daughthor, who
was watched lilm with end, anxious
gn.e, and said,
"Thcro tiro somo memories which Bit
llko hideous nightmares upon tlio hoart,
and that wo can only hear by God's
holp ; such is tho memory of what 1 am
now tolling you."
Again ho took his seat. It was ovi

trian. Tho fatal step was taken, taken
by hor witli Lovo nnd Faith singing
Bwcfct songs in her trusting heart. It
took hor somo timo to disvovor what
an error sho had mado ; how sho hnd
burled overyjoy ; how sho now stood
oh tho dosolato shores of a Bad reality,
far away from tho peaceful pleasures of
tlio old homo that sho iiad forsaken.
What sho Buffered as tlio hldoousknowl-
edgo brokoupon hor, nono savo liorsolf
could toll. Still sho loved, and trusted,
nnd hopod, prayed ; hutlho dark clouds
grow moro lowering, tho moro deeply
hor husband drank.
"Ono yoar passed by, a year of mis
ery to tiio drunknrd's young wlfo, nnd
aswcol child camo to gladden hor young
hoart. Thon camo, when this baby was
only n fow months old, n second so tor-
riblo that I can scarcely toll It to you.
For weoks.CIarenco Medway had drank
deeply, until reasdn leaving its throno
lio grow mad, yea, mad as a lunatic
chained In Bedlam. Raving and dan
gerous, his brain on flro with tno nc
cursed stuff lio had been drinking, ho
was carrlod homo from a low den to
tho young wifo whoso llfo ho had mado
miserable For days, that dovolcd
wlfo hovered over his bed ; shocked
at his situation, crushed to tho very
earth by grlof, sho yet clung to tho
frantic maniac to whom sho was chain
ed by matrimony. Ho did not recog-
nizo her as sho bent over him ; ho did
not know who it was that looked into
iii3 wild oyo3 with pity but not fear.
For days and nights that loving woman
watched and wept, as sho heard tho
madman's ravings, nnd saw his fingers
point to Imaginary spiders which his
distempered fancy saw on tho wall.
"Ono night, when tho walciicrs, all
savo one, tho loving wife, had with
drawn for a fow moments into a distant
room, Claranco Medway leaped from
tho bed, and seizing a loaded gun,
which stood unobserved in a closet,
loveled it at his wife and shot her doad
dead. Oh ! my God, sho died, shot
to tho heart by tho monster sho called
husband I"
Largo drops of agony stooti on tho
rector's brow, and ho covered his faco
with liis hands ; when ho raised them
again, liis daughter started back, for lio
was ashen pale, nnd liis lips trembled
with emotion. But ho went on with
his story ; ho had nerved himself to tlio
task ; thcro was too mucli at stako to
ceaso now, oven Ills daughter's hnppl-
ness.
''This dreadful act, dono in a lit of
drunken madness, restored him to his
senses. Ho throw himself on tho
ground wildly, nnd called upon tho
dead wlfo who had loved him so ten
derly and borno so patiently with him.
But too Into, too lato ! tho puro spirit
had winged its flight abovo, nnd tho
drunknrd's wifo found rest and poaco
in heaven. Long and loud wails Iwcnt
up from that stricken man's heart ; ho
kissed frantically tho palo cheeks ; ho
Implored forglvonoss for tho past, and
for this dreadful deed ; but, though
tho wan lips smiled on, thoy mado no
answor. O, my God, my God I" cried
tho rector, "I thank theo that thou
didst, at length, pour pcaco into this
miscrablo man's heart, for nowhero
could lio havo found It but in thee.
"It was decreed that ho Bliouid drink
moro deeply of tho cup of suffering,
When tho fearful deed was bruited
abroad, Clarcnco Medway was arrested
and thrown into prison. During tlioso
long and weary days of his imprison
ment and trial, deprived of tho accurs
ed liquor that mado him n bruto,a mad
man and a murderer, ho camo into tho
full possession of his sonses. Then liis
oyes wero opened, and ho saw what a
bitter wrong tho drunkard docs not on
ly himself, but nil who havo tho mis
fortuno to lovo him. Sitting in tho soli-
tudo of Ids coll, as memory carried him
back to liis early lifo, lio wept to Ihluk
what ho was, aud what ho might havo
been ; ho had sold tho proud birthright
of liis manhood for a miscrablo mess of
pottago.
Overwhelmed with grief for tho loss
of his wife ; crushed by the fearful
crlmo lio had committed ; deeply hu
miilatcd by his painful position, Clar
cnco Medway passed through his trial
for tho murder of tiio 'Oman ho had
sworn to protect. I car ,iot go over tho
distressing details of ihat proceeding,
when tho lifo of this unfortunato man
hung trembling between tlmo and cter
nity. On tlio day tho verdict was to bo
doliverd, tho liallsof Justico wcrocrowd

words that wero to consign him to lifo
or death. Thoy camo, and lio stood up
lo receive his sentenco, his cars hoard
tho dreadful words, 'Hung by tho neck
until dead.' Then all grow black,
black as midnight, and ho was lod
away from tlio room.
All tills whllo tho girl had refralnod
from speaking, but theso words seemod
to electrify her, and sho caught her
father's . hand convulsively and
said.

"Ho walked from tho droary scono lu

thcro was no pity for tho miscrablo

Tho rector slitidderotl, nnd his thin
fingers grasped nervously tlio hnnd of
his daughter, that lay on his lap.
"It was a lovelytlay, full of halm ami
