Calmly and coldly were nil her farewells spoken ; but when sho camo to her father, her forced com posure gave way, and throwing her arms around his neck, she clung to him a moment m silent, tearless, ngnny. It was her Inst dis play of weakness. She heard his parting hies •sing, and sitting by the side of her husband, >wns Whirled rapidly away from the ’haras df ■her childhood. 'A month elapsed before Che pair returned to ■occupy their‘elt’gant mansion,.far *'up town.” Bu. in that month a strange change had taken place in Grandison. tie scnntd restless, un ‘easy -anti agitated: he followed the stalely movements of his wife with anxious eyes ; he was unhappy in her Uoticty, ftnd Xrrctchcd Way from her side; in short, bo was little like the light-hearted bachelor his dearest friends had known, and-one and all foreswore matri mony on the spot, since it had altered him so. *lt waa not fong'ero Madam Rumor reported tho startling fact that tho princely household was carried on upon the European plan, and tho lady and gentleman occupied separate apartments, and only met at staled hours in the great drawing-rooms below. Great was the wonder of the “upper, ten ;” many the sur mises hazarded upon, but no one dared ques tion tiro parlies most deeply interested, and they held their peace. In public and in private Alice was uniformly kind and polite to her hus band ; but this ivas all, ana the wondering oily bad an opportunity of witnessing that an omaly—a man violently in lore with his own wife, and seeking in vain to windier;' I doubt if Alice saw tho struggle fn his mind. Her own feelings were benumed—.her own heart seemed cold and dead. Judging his nature by her own she deemed him satisfied with her rig id observance of all wifely propriety and dig nity—it wrna all ho required of her—(die >wna ■true to tire letloi oMior AOw,.au»l her-spirit was at rest. Two yem-s liad passed away. livens the anniversary of iho- wedding night, and Alice Grandisonsat in her boudoir, robed for u party and only awaiting tho arrival of her husband who was to escort her. Thc.yvotu bod ohtmged her .a little. Shc’waa fair and proud aa ever. Her robe was of azure velvet—her coronetgtof E carta and w>illi'il£ ravy -diamond mross, 4ior 'bracket's, and the • single ring she wore, were fit adornments for an - Empress, and right well did she Become them. She was floras, fcnd touching ft -secret spring in her private escritoire, she took from n SR oil drawer two Vninfaturcs 'eased fa gold, and (aid them side by side. - One was that of her dead lover; (hcftt-irertrf her husband. ' Xxanmg her hind upon her hand, she gazed long and earnestly at tbc two, and as her dark eyes dimmed with tears, she could Vrot Vut itcknowltVlge the tflniddwy like- - , ness that existed between the loved and Inc un loved. It was a faint, and shadowy one, but still it was no fancy. A something on the lip, check and. brow—the same careless arrange ment of the waving hair—and more limn nil, the same earnest, loving intensity of look and expression in Iho deep bluo eyes. This, never seen before, was what now claimed her atten tion to both. v Tho small pcndulc over tho mantle-piece struck tho hour of nine, and with a deep sigh she replaced tho portraits ,in . the drawer, and left tho ruotu. *Sho rang, on reaching tho drawing-room, h) ask for her husband. There was n bustle mid tire sound of many feet before tho summons was answered, and then tho ser vant who entered looked pale and frightened. A strange, sickening sensation crept over ficr asshc/fiskcd— “Where is your master 1” The servant stammered, hesitated, arid cast strange looks towards the door. Dreading she knew not what, she stepped into tho hall, and looker! down the widcsfalrs. Four men were ascending, bearing a motionless form between them. The long 4mir hanging down towards the floor, ond from a wound in tire forehead the dark red blood was Mowing freely. They stopped short when they saw her awaiting them; they evidently dreaded tho scene, bill she wax firm and calm, though heavy «t heart Iny.ttio thought. “If ho is dead, how can t for f;ivo myself for tho-unlxappmroa X imro caused dm!” Obeying her calmly spoken orders, tlrcyUrd hhn-dorwn'unon'aHafa, in the sidcndid drawing room, lie had been struck down, before his own dwelling, by a runaway horse, and the family physician, who was instantly summon ed, gave little hopes 4br ins recovery.

Tho es trangement-of years was forgotten; the stone was rolled away from the door of,her heart, ond its living waters gushed out once more. Hut ho who would havo perilled llfo ond limb for one unsolicited caress from her. now lay pale ond still while sho pressed him to her heart; •and tho lovo that ho Lad so sought in vain du ring life, seemed given only too into—only to A’asto itself upon a pallid corpse—a gilded cof fin and a lonely grave I 'Bho watched beside him, day and night, in thd chamber where ho had spent so many fom>- 1/ -hours. ■ Into this room she had scarcely ev er entered since ho had installed her mistress of his household.,fmd everywhere sho saw such traces of -hia lovo tor her, as pierced her very heart. •' lo'a small alcove beyond his bed, hung her portrait, (ho first and lost thing ho saw as he opened and dosed. his eyes.
