BY AGNES I'IERSQJ,.
It was the dead hour of the. night. The
room was a high wainscotted apartment,
witli-furniture of a rich but antique pattern.
The pale moonlight streaming through the
curtaihed-window, and struggling with the
subdued light ofa candle placed in a corner,
disclosed the figure of a sick man extended
on a bed, wrapped in an unquiet slumber.
By his side sat a care-worn though - still
beautiful- -woman-gazing anxiousljr on' his
face, and breathlessly awaiting' the crisis of
the fever—for it was now the ninth day
since that strong 'man had been prostrated
by the hand of disease, and during all that
time he had raved in an incessant delirium.
He had at length dropped into an unquiet
slumber broken at first by starts and moans,
but during the last hour had been less rest
less, and be now lay as still as a sculptured
statue! His wife well knew that ere mbrn
ing the crisis would be past, and she waited,
with all a woman’s affection, breathlessly
for the event. . ' Aye! : though' few wompn
have been Wrojiged as Emily AValpole had
been wronged, she still cherished her. ,hus-
band’s image, for he was, despite his errors,
the lover of her youth.
1 Few girls had been more admired than
Emily Severn. But it was not only the
beauty of; her features and the elegance of
hpr form which drew around her a train’of
worshippers; her mind was one of no ordi
nary oast, itud the sweetness oflier temper
lent an ineffable'charm to all she did.. No
lone was so eagerly sought for at a ball or a
pic-nic as .Emily Severn, and at her paran
oial fireside she was the universal favorite.—
It was long before’ she She was not
-omy eestoW'net- tftfcCr?r3'ns''v,'inr, c v.reluougu't,
they were deserved, and it was not till she
had-met Edward Walpole that she learned
to surrender her heart.
Ko.Vard Walpole, when he became the
husband of Emily Severn, was apparently
all that a" woman qould wish.. He was warm
hearted, of anoblesouJ^.„kilid,.gentle rr and
cVcrready to waive his own selfish gratifi
cation at the call of duty. But, alas! he
had one weakness, he did not act from prin
ciple. His genewius deeds were the oil
spring of a warm heart rather than of a regu
lated intellect. As yel'he IfaU i‘)cvci been
placed in circumstances which severely tried
his principles. But. abuula year after his
marriage, he fell heir to the large property
of a maiden aunt, and at once his whole
style of life was altered. His accession of
wealth brought him into Contact with society
in which hitherto ha had never mingled,
where the polish of factious politeness often
hides the must depraved morals. Above all,
by abandoning his profession, he condemned ,
himself to comparative idleness. He now
began to be tortured by cnntii, and sought
any. excitement to pass away the time.—
Tile harpies who infest society, and with the
appearance of .gentlemen have the hearts of
fiends, now marked him for their prey; and
his open and generous nature made liim
their victim in a comparatively short space
of time. We shall not trace his downward,
progress. It is always a melancholy task
to mark the lapse from virtue of a noble and
generoUs character, and. how much more so
when the heart of a wife is to be .broken.by
the dereliction from rectitude.
Emily saw the gradual aberration of her
husband,' and mourned the cause,
no -word of reproach escaped l;er lips, but by
every gentle means she strove to bring back
her husband to the paths of virtue'. But a
fatality seemed to have seized him. He
was in,a whirlpool from which hecould not
extricate himself. He still luVcd his wife,
and more than once, when her looks cut
him to the heart, he made an effort'to break
loose from 1 his associates; but they always
found means to bring him back erelong.—
'Finis a. year passed. His fortune began to
give way, for he had learned to gamble,—
As his losses became more frequent his
thirst for cards became greater, until at
length’ he grew sullen and desperate. He
was now a changed man. He no longer felt
icompunction at the-wrongs he inflicted on
: lus-sweetw , ife,-but-if-her-sad J lodk3-touehed
his heart at all they only stung him into un
deserved reproaches. He was become harsh j
and violent. Yet his pour wife endured all
in silence.. , No recrimination passed her
lips. Butin the solitude of her chamber j
she shed many a bitter "tear, and often, at
■the .hour of midnight, when her husband was
fay away in some riotous company, iter
prayers were heard ascending for him..
Two years had now elapsed,.and the last
one had been a year of bitter sorrow to Emi
ly. At length her husband came hpme.onp
night an almost ruined man. He had been
stripped at the gambling table, of every cent
of his property, over which he had any con
trol’, am) he was now in a state almost,ap
proaching- to madness; Before morning he
was in a high fever. For days lie raved, inV
cessantly of his ruin, cursing t|le‘ wretches,
by wiidm hediad been plundered. Nine
dpys had elapsed and- ifow the Crisis was at
hand., ....
‘ ■ The clock struck twelve. ‘ As sound after
sound 1 rung out on the stillness and died
away in through the
rh'iiuse, the sick man moved in his sleep, un
til,gwheh' the last stroke was given, he open
ed his eyqS and looked languidly aqd vacantr
ly around’. His gaze almost Instantly met
the.face of fils wife. Fora’moincnt, I)is re
collection ’could'be seen struggling,, in-his
countenance, and at length an cxprcasioiv~pf
deep mental suffering settled in liis'jjS£&-r.
His-wife had by this time risen and >yas now
at his bed-side;" - She raw that the crisis was
past, and ns she laid her hand ip his, and
felt; tile moisturidf the skin, she knew that
he would recover. 'Tears of- joy gushed
from her eyesanddropped on the sibk man’s,
face, •• ■-.*./'7 v ;-" : ■

sick man felt tlio (ears on liis face,
Ife sawjiis wife’s-gratcful emotion, he knew
that.she was praying for him, and'
as he'recalled to mind the wrongs which,he
had'inflicted on that uncomplaining woman,
his heart was melted within him. There is
no chastcne'r likc sickness; the most stony
hosom softensbeneath it. Helbought of (he
Jong days and nights duringvwhich he must'
have been ill, and when him-insultcd and
abused wife had watched anxiously at his
bedside. Oh! how he had crushed that
noble heart;.and now this was her return!—
She prayed for him who had wronged her.
She shed tears of joy because her erring hus
band had been restored, as it were to. life.
These things rushed through his bosom and
the strong man’s eyes filled with tears.
“Emily—dear Emily,” he said, “I have
been a villain, and can you forgive me? I
deserve it not at your hands—but can you,
will you forgive a wretch like me.”
