And desecrate each Patriot's grave,

And ocean roar in agony;

A DISCONSOLATE WIDOWER.
"What tan I fny to comfort you, dear
Augustus ?" nnd Antilirl trok her Lroth-t-rV
lmnd ;n hers and presjod it warmly.
'.Nothing my jirecious siMer ; such woo
ns mine is too doep for any plummet of
oonsolntion to reich." And ' dear Augus
tus" took out hu Muck-bordered hanker
chief, and applied it to his ryes.
Anal el clasped her hands despairingly,
nnd looked tearfully at him, niurmering
ly sympathising "poor, denr Augustus,
how he loved her !"
Augustus eighrd deeply, and moaned
in a 1op tone "We aroao hppy togclh
er, my poor Iluchel," and again theblack
bordered hmikerchief went to his eyes.
''My yfflirted rrother," murmured An
abel, "how deep tho waters you aro call
ed upon to go through."
Augustus Rhuddered, as if he felt tho
wild d ishings of the waves, and said in a
plaintive voice "Dear Rachel, how ami
able she wa !"
" Very, dear Augustus."
" How censi lei'iitc, how devoted lo
t;-.e !"
"O, exceedingly."
"And how fine an appearance. he pro
sented !" and ho raised his eyes to tho
portrait festooned wih black crape, nhich
delicate attention he had himself paid it
that morning.
Anabel, too, raised her eyt, but was si
lent as she gazed upon the pictured form
of the departed Kachel, so angular, so
clark. nnd 0 frown in a.
"I don't think you ever did Rachel's
charms justice, Anabcl. Sho vni a love
ly woman
"(, brother, 1 fully appreciated ner, I
assure you I did.
And you do not do justice to my depth
of grief. Art- you nware that I am a
mourner forever 7 I oor, dear, dear Ra-
chel, I have lo-t all in losing thee !" And
ncnin the tearful eves wero raised ti the
grim Rachel, who looked down with an
expression on her face which said "In--deed
I''
Thera was a silenci ofseveral moments,
during which ho looked thoughtfully in'.o
the fire. At length he said
"Hand mo my desk beside you, Anabcl;
it will be a relief to my feelings to writo j
an obituary."
"Don't think cf it at present, dear Au-
gustus ; your nerves are not strong enough
for it now. Only think of the trying ,
cene throug!i which you have just pass
ed."
"Hand mo my tick, will you 7 It is a
sacred duty I owo my dead."
While Augustus was engaged in this
touching work, Anabel was pondering on
tho propriety of dispensing with tho black
crape folds on her new silk dress ; "so
that I may wear it in colors," wa.i her in
ward ejaculation ; "for who knows Augus-

"How pious 1 how touching! what path

"You must admit Rachel was no orciU

"None, none." moaned A'ugustus, "my

"You must make an effort to get ii
out from there, dear brother; induea you
must."
"Uno! Would I were thero too!"
"This h positively wicked; indeed it
is. You miiot not talk so ; Rachel would
not approve, of it."
"Ah, deaf Rachel," moaned Augustus,
pileous.ly.
"Come, now, take something to soothe
you, and then goto bed. Goud night;
don't de-pair, you will be happy yet."
Augustus answered "Xove", never," and
he continued repeating, like Toe's dis
mal :avcn, "Never nevermore !" until
the door closed upon Anabel, and he vus
left, alone w ith his everluslii g grief, ami
the dismally draped portrait of the lost
Rachel looking down grimly from the
wall.
On reaching her room, Anabel threw
herself into a chair, and laughed moro
heartily than was becoming, considering
tliat dear Jiucrici had only becu placed in
her grave that morning.
I really do believe that, after all, Au-
fustus will die of grief. Y'ou have no
idea, Myra; bow devotedly ho was attach

" Indcod !" and Myra raised her proud,
calm eyes, and looked at her.
"Ho er.joyed inch bliss with his poor
Rachel that bis married lifo waa a per

' When did he make that discovery ? "

' turned all his thoights heaveiwurd
" I am happy to bear it, " responded
Myra quietly, " for they wero very far
from that direction borore. "
Weeki progressed, but Augustus re
mained tdirouded in woo; not one ray of
pace had warmed up his deadened heart,
lie would write on nothing but black-
edged paper ; covered every article that
had belonged to dear Rachel with Hack
crape ; shut up her chamber, and every
time he nassed the closed door shuddered
fts if he saw her pale ghost stalking about;
read her printod obituary at night, before
retiring, nnd aid his devotions to her
pictured form almes't hourly. He kept
the last pocket handkerchief carefully
folded up in tissue paper among his shav
ing articles. 1 1 is sisters began to think
that ho would never get over it, and as to
his marrying again never, never!
' Don't even hint at such a thing, An
abel, " he said with horror, when bhc
ventured to juggest that, perhaps, one
day he might replace the lost Rachel.
"I meant year and years orT, dear Augus
tus, " slio said, almost timidly, "Uf
course, not for twenty years, or perhaps
fifteen. "
"Hush! Hush!

heartless strain again it is very repul.ive

' I only meant t console you, Augus

" l ou take a most remarkublo wav of

" ilat you must feel so lonely," persis
ted A nabel.
" Lonely ? Have I not my (.islors and

bel, I can never marry again. All I ask
is a quiet rest beside Rachel's cofliced
form. "
"IIo'.v allocking. Don't, I pray, in

this sad subject
Thres months passed slowly, but sadly.
Rachel was in her grave, ar.d iu long

and hearth. A weeping willow had
Here he stood on Sunday to think of Ra'
. chcl, perhaps, or to gaze more conve-
. nientlv at the girlish beauty of Miss Vil-
j lets, ns she tripped through tho church-
'yard into the side door of tho church.
This last idea was promulgated by those
proverbially epiteful creautares tho old
maids of the church, who, having lost all
their youth, envy tho young, and who are
as cra.y to get married at forty jers as
they were at twenty, and who tear to
shreds tho characters of their more fortu
nate sisters, who win in tho world's lottery
that prize a husband! So said Augustus
-.hen Annabel told him of sundry re
marks that had been made concerning
him.
"L'.ttt it was not an old maid that thin,
dered you, Agustus ; it was a married lady.
Mrs. Montjoy says she has watched you
in church, and you look out of tho win
dow with one tearful eye on Rachel's
grave, while the other is exploring tho
prjtty face of Miss Vlllers. Sho even
siys sho saw you last Sunday gather a bo
quet from Rachel's gravo, and presented
it to Miss Villeri as sho was going into
church, who, placing it lo her Grecian
nose, thanked you with her sweetest
smile, little dreaming it 'smelt of mortal
ity.' Poor dear Rachel, I don't know
how she would relish furnishing boquets
for ber rivul. I don't say this, Augustus,
Mrs. Montjoy said it. Don't frown so an
grily, of course I don't believe a word of
it. I know how devotedly attached you
wero to dear Rachel, and how you plant
ed her grave, and even took the watering
pot in your hands and watered the plants
to niako them grow, and how you treasu
red up in tissuo paper tho last handker
chief ho used, and how yon put hoi bon
net on a table, and had a little niling
built around it to keep profane hands
away, and how touching!) you draped her
picture in crape! O, now, 1 know you
will never, never marry again."
Augustus was silent. Was it ominous ?
Four months and two weeks then a
tall tombstone reared its lofty head amid
its sister tombs in the church-yard. It
was t, charming device a Btone figure! BAn afllioted husband was ret urning ' communicate thoso with which you ar

"No doubt," responded Mis. Montjoy,
"he will treat you to this very one. Two
of you can easily get under it." The
young lady frowned and walked away.
Six months and two weeks, and Augus
tus and his sisters sat in solemn conclave.
The great grief was over, the stormy bil
lows had subsided, the clouds bad passed
away. "The funeral meats" were about
to ''furnish a wedding feast." Augustus
was going to be married. 'Married"
Anabel clasped ber hands in inarticulate
horror, while Myra looked cultnly upon
the comforted widower.
"Did I say t would never marry again ?"
asked Augustus, angry at these mute dem
onstrations of uui prise.

SurTEiiY I'Eon.n. There is a clas3 of
people who resemble eels in their manner
of going through life. They are your
smooth peoplo who slip through your
hand when you attempt to catch them,
and leave you wondering how they could
have escaped. The hand of morals, law
or right fails to hold them, and yet '.hey
seem to recognise them all. A bargain
with audi men always results in their
gain; there is some loop left for them to
hang au advantage upon ; something that
will redound to their particular glorifica
tion or profit. They aro splendid mana
gers of benevolent institutions; occupy
high places in tho moral world for sttcii
aro not thoso men who get caught; nnd
if they get caught, they nianago to slip
through are great mortgager's, lend men
ey on the right sort of security, and nev"
er lose, and whichever way they fall they
light all right. They aro politicians, nnd
always ivanago to be, on the winning side.
In life they aro unexceptionable, with
characters exccllont. Hut they are slip
pery nevertheless, nnd even while praising
then as men may, in their short siglited
ness, and they wriggle through to the
end, the veil will be lifted an l tho time
that tries all dojust'ce to them. I
