by a hedge of low trimmed shrubbery, over
which thecyccaught the flashing waters os they
swept on, glowing in the crimson radiance of
•the sunset. -
I entered the house and stopped lightly along
a carpeted passage, tapped softly at thadoor of
tho chamber of sickness—aye of death.
•Welcome, doctor,’ said the silvery voice of a
lady, who sat by a low couch, partially hung
' with white drapery. ‘Welcome 1 tho dear suf

long vigils at tho bedside of her sweet Lucy,
‘Oh 1 how full of consolation is tho scene of

‘Yes, my dear friend,’.!replied, ‘your cup of

still; and even in this earthly paradise I can
not forget them.*
‘Andfa poor Edward goncatlastlo his dread

lady covered her. face and wept.
. some time elapsed. I lingered at the conch
of Lucy till she should awake, and taking from
the stand a small though elegant copy of thu
bihlo, I opened the silver clasp, and my eye
Caught the simple inscription of the fly leaf:—
“To my Lucy—a parting gift of Clarence,” I
had designed to;rcad a portion of tho word, but
thought was for tho time engrossed.
I had known Lucy May from her infancy,
and she was scarcely leas dear to mo than my
own daughter. Indeed, they had grown up like
twin blossoms, and were together almost every
hour of the day. Seventeen summers they both
had numbered—though Lucy was some months
bluerno brother or sister had either of them,
aud bunco tho intensity of mutual love.—
ineir thoughts, their affections, and their pur
suits wore in common. They called each other
sister, and their intercourse honored the en

a scream of joy; and clasping Ellen around tho

been delayed on the wnjyittfdbbut half the time
of its journov had bring the eager,
anxious student to tho where his heart had
stored its affections, and ‘centered its hopes, next
to Heaven ; for Clarence was more than a no

of Jesus Christ ;jpid he was getting himself to

' There was hut little consolation to his fears
in.the reply .of Mrs. May. r Lucy .was living,
but there was an anguish in the expression,*—
‘hope for the best,’ and ho said hurriedly, ‘oh,
take me to-hcr at once,-—now,* and ho pressed
his hand on his throbbing brow,and then sink
ing on his knees, while Mrs. May knelt beside
him, he entreated God, in a voice choked with
emotion, for strength to bear the trial, to kiss
tho rod of chastisement, to receive the bitter
with the sweet; and prayed that the cup might
pass from him, even as did his master in the
days of his incarceration and anguish. Ho
arose and with a calmer voico said, ‘I can see
her now.'
At this moment I joined them, with Lucy’s
earnest request that Clarence should come to
her at once. We entered the chamber just as
Ellen had partially opened a blind, and tho last
rays of sunlight streamed fairly through in tho
room, and fell for a moment on tho while chock
of Luoy, rendering its hue still more- snowy.
Alas! Clarence; ns his earnest eyes mot those
of his betrothed, —her whom he had left in tho
very flush of perfection, of youthful loveliness—
now how chanced! His heart sank within him,
and with a wild sob of anguish he clasped her
pale thin fingers, and kissrel her colorless lips,
kneeling the while at the side of her couch.
•Clarence, my own Clarence,’ said tho sweet
girl, with an effort to rise, which she did, sup
ported by his arm. lie spoko not—ho could
no't—dared not speak.
•Clarence,chocrup,my beloved,’ bather for
titude nnd all she could do was to bury
her face in her lover’s bosom and weep. ‘Wo
did not attempt to check their grief: nay, wo
wept with them, ond sorrow fora while had its
luxury of tears unrestrained.
Clarence at length broke tho silence.
‘Lucy my own dear Lucy ! God forgive mo
for my own selfish griefs nnd ho added fer
vently, lifting his tearful eyes to heaven, ‘Fath
er give us grace to bear this trouble aright,’
and turning to me, added, ‘Doctor, oh ! # nray
that wo may havo strength to meet this hour
like Christians.’
‘When tho voico of prayer ceased, all feelings
were calmed, but I deemed it advisable to leave
the dear patient to brief repose; and Ellen alone
remaining, wo retired to tho parlor, where Clar
erenco learned from us more of her illness, of
her true condition, for I dared not to delude him
with false hopes.
‘Doctor,’ said ho, with visible anguish, ‘is
there no hope?’ ,
‘Not of recovery, I fear, though she'may lin
ger some time With us, and bebetter than sho
la to-day.’ •
‘Then God’s will bo done,’ said the young
man, while a Imly confidcncolightcd un his face,
now* scarcely less palo than that of hia^betrothed
Lucy..
Day after day (ho dear girl lingered, and
many sweet hours of Clarence and
Lucy pass together ; once even sho was per
mitted to spend a few moments in tho portico
of tho. house, and as Olarcnco supported her,
and saw a tint of health overspread her check,
hope grew strong in his heart. But Lucy
doubted not that she should die speedily, and
happily this conviction reached her heart ere
Clarence came; so that the agony of her grief in
prospect of separation from him had yielded to
the blissfhl anticipation of heaven, that glorious
cmno whero she would, cro long, meet those
from whom It was ‘more than death to part.’
‘Dear XiUoy,’ said Clarence, as they stood
gazing on tho summer flowers, ‘you are, better,
love. May not cur Heavenly Father yot spare
yqn to mo,—to your mother, —to cousin Ellen,
—to happiness t’
‘AU, Clarence, do not spend of this. It will
only end in deeper tytterness. I must go, and
Clarence you must not mourn when I exchange
even this bright world for tho paradise of im
mortality.*

hand and drew it close to his throbbing heart,
and sho-ireSumed, pointing to a bright cluster
of ariiarantß;-—‘See, there, 01arance, is tho em

. Three-weeks had passed. It was again tho
evening.bf the Sabbath. X stood by the couch
of Lucy May. -Her mother and Ellen Baton

bn a pillow in his arms tho bead of tho fair girl.

Clarence now bent hia head dose to the head
of Lucy, and whispered in her- car, hut so dis
tinctly that we all heard.
. ‘Lucy, since thou may not,bo mine in life, bo
mine in death» let mo follow you to tho, grave
os my wedded wife, and I shall, have the bliss
ful consolation of anticipating a re-union in
Heaven.’
The eyo of tho dying girl* lighted up with a
quick and sudden joy, os sho smilingly answered
‘lt is well, Clarence—l would fain bear thy
name before I die!’ Wo were started at this
strange request and answer ; hut no heart
or Up ventured to opnosc iti ’ Lucy then sflid: ’
‘Mother, dear Aether, deny -me not my last
request; will you ond Ellen drcs£ mo in wrijlftl
robe ? I will wear it to my tomb !’ Clarence
also besought Mrs. May to grant this wish, and
let him win a bride and mother; aqjLsho an
swered :
‘As you mid Lucy will, but jfe will bc.’ and
her heart spoke*—‘if will boa raournful bridnl.’
Lucy now motioned us from tho room, and
wo retired. Clarence was the first to speak.
‘You will not blame me that I seek even in
the arms of death to mqke her my wife. Oh-,
how much of- bliss lias crowded- into this one
anticipation, and though indeed it will be a ‘sad
bridal,’ it will sweeten the. cup of bitterness
which'is how pressed to tny lips.’
In a few minutes we re-entered that hallowed
chamber; the light of day had faded, and a
single lamp was burning on the stand: ' Lucy
was arrayed in a muslin robe which scarcely
outrivallcd her cheeks ip whiteness, eavp.whcrC
the hectic, now heightened flush
ed in. Clarence sealed hirnsrirby her, and she
was raised.to a sitting posture, and supported
her head in his Shc placcd her hands in
his, and said,-lial f.playlully, half sadly, “ ’Tis
a worthless offering, Clarence.”
He pressed it’tb'liia fevered lips—his face pale
and flushed by'turri&V, The minister arose and
stood before and in a fcw words and. sim

That night before tho last hour, tbo angel
Azricl came as a messenger of peace to that
bridal chamber, and though new foundations of
earthly bliss had been opened in tho heart of
Lucy Hamilton, sho repined not at the sum
mons, but while heavenly joy sat on her fea
tures, nnd her lips.munnurwl—“peace—fare
well husband—mother—sister—all,” her pure,
spirit took.its flight, and her lifeless body lay
in the embrace of tho woe-stricken but humble
Clarence—who still lingers in this weary world
doing his masters work, nnd waiting his will to
bo re-united to his Anoel Bride in Heaven.
A Cnse of Sharp Practice.
In tbo editor’s table of tbo Knickerbocker for
August, wo find the following Incident, Illustra
tive of tbo beautilul uncertainties of tbo law, 1
“in such case mado and provided.” Tho caso
described is said to have occurred in Michigan t
“ ’Squire —— hod loosed one of two con
tiguous houses to a noted charnctorin our town,
a lawyer of high standing and some years ago a
member ot tbo legislature, and withal a despe
rate and incorrigible wag,undabopelass debtor.
Quarter after quarter passed away; and (lie land
lord never found his tenant at homo when rent
day came, nor provided with funds whon hornet
him In tho street; although on such occasions ho
was always liberal of promises. At'last, ns a
derntor'resort, a writ of ejectment was issued,
and notice to vacate within fourteen days (the
time proscribed by law in Michigan) served on
tho delinquent tenant. No notico being taken
thereof, on tho afternoon of tho day specified
tho landlord proceeded with tho proper officer,
to the premises, with tho dire Intent of pitching
his victim into tho street, “ neck and houla.”—
But on arrlvftg nt tho place, what was Ida cha
grin to find that Ids tenant had that very morn
ing removed— into the adjoining house, which
happened to bo vacant just then; a noto being
left bn tho stops of his lato residence, politely
suggesting tho propriety of cortaip repairs In Ida
now abode, and requesting the ’Squire to sue to
it as soon ns convenient. Of course, now pro
ceedings bad to bo instituted, and there being
no such thing as “ distress for rent” (except In
Iho landlord’s pocket) in Michigan, another
writ of ejectment was issued and served. The
evening before tho time was up, the landlord
called on hia debtor and found him just sitting
down to supper in his old home, to which ho had
again removed that very afternoon I Ho was
profußO of compliments, and thanked the ’Suuiro
heartily for tho Improvements which had boon
mado ih tho dwelling durlhg his absence. A
now process was at once Issued, and this time,
determined not to bo tricked, tho landlord pro
cured occupants for both buildings, rent free for
a full quarter, fearing to leave either empty till
ho wi\s fairly rid of his customer. On compar
ing notes, ho found himself minus over a year’s
rout, besides (ho quarter given on (ho two hou
ses, and tho expenses of suits,” &o.

fish on one side, and an enormous whale on the

the weather being clear, ond the fish being close
to the vessel, wound a fine opportunity of wit
nessing the contest. As soon os tho whale’s
back appeared above iho water, tho thrashers,
springing several yards into the air, descended
with great violence upon tho object of their
rancor, and inflicted upon him the most severe
slaps with their tails, tho reports of which re
sembled the reports of muskets fired at a dis
tance. Tho sword fish, in their turn, attack

low ; and thus beset-on all sides and wounded,
when tho poor creature appeared the water
around him was dyed with blood. In this

him; and I have no doubt they, in the end, nc- v
compltshcd his destruction.
