Tile .smile upon her lip was’faint, the purple veins upon her neck grew visible, and the cadences of her voice became .daily more weak and tremulous.—*• On a quiet evening in June, I wandered out with her in the open air. It was then that she first tq|d me thc talodf her passion, and of the lighttlmtcarifCdown like mildew upon her life,—love hnd bc;cn n portion ot her ex istence. Its tendrils had been twined around •• her heart in its earliest years; and when they Were rent away it left a wound which flowcdtill all the springs.of her soul were.' blood. “I am passing away,” she said, “and it should be so.
