you will bo sorry for it atterwatd, I
shall cottio homo by tho flvu o'clock cx
piess, and If you havo recovered ycur
temper you can order tho horse, nnd
wu will go for n lidu beforo dinner,
Uood by."
I.eavlnc tho houts, for tho first thuo
since their niarriacc, without it partiuc
kiss, Kdmund Iloy wended his way to
tho station, and was soon being whirled
alone toward his oftice in New York ;
whilo Agnes, strucRllnc hard to re
press tiio tears that would forco their
way to her pretty bluu eyes, stood by
tho window, listening to tho sound of
tto trnln dying nway in the distance.
They had parted in linger, and, wo
man llko, Agnes would huvo given
worlds now to have recalled nil that situ
lind said, and to have given tlm kiss of
peace hu had asked for In vain. Slio
had loved her young husband very
dearly, nnd know his woitli. Hut slio
was n spoilt child ; and ho. In ids deep
love, was fostering hur willfulness and
impatleiicu by yielding and ministering
to her every wish.
Kdmund Ray was a barrister, living
somo thirty miles from tho city, in a
pretty part of Westchester, aud conse
quently Agues passed many hours of
tho day alone ; but never hud slio felt
tliein so long nnd wearUomo as they
were that morning. IShu ordered tho
dinner, re-nrranged tho tlowers in her
vnsis, wrote her letters, and a noto to
Mrs. Morris, to say thoy would bo un
able to comu to her ball, and long b'j
! foro It was necessary put on her riding
habit, that she might bo ready for Ed
mund when ho cauio homo ; then, or
dering tho groom to bring the horses
round nt flvo o'clock precisely, slio took
a book, aud sat down In her pretty llt
tlo drawing-room, to while nwny the
tlmo till she heard tho train approach
ing that was to biing her husband home.
Sha had no fears tts to their meeting;
after their quarrel. Slio knew well
(Hinutili that shu had only to clvo n
smllo to recelvo one In return from her
loving young husband, nud with a hap
py light In her eyes she took up her
book, uud was 50011 deep lu its uV$ui,b
lug pages."
Evor and anon slio would ralso her
bend lo listen for tho ronr of tho np
proaohlng tialn ; but It did not come,
aud shu resumed her reading. Tho
tmmp of horses feet itrousod her, and
going to the door, slio found the groom
btandluc Micro with tho two horses,
ready saddled.
" You nro too early, Hayncs," sho
said, " It Is not flvo yet, and your
master Is not come home."
" Hog pardon, ma'am," replied tho
man, touching his hat, " but it's ton
minutes past five ; and I didn't know
whether may bo you'd rldo to tho btft-1
tlon for mtistor. ilio 'spress ain't lu
yet.
Agnes paused, and hesitated. She
rather wished to meet her husband
quietly at homo, that slio might tell
lil tti how 6orry sho was to havo behaved
111 to him; but her pretty chestnut maro
was prancing aud curveting; and gath
cilng her skirt nrntiud her, sho snld :
" Veiy svoll, Haynes. Hrlnc Zulclka
nenr, and you can mount Julius, aud
walk homo from tho station. "
Tho man obeyed, and they rodo gon
tly to tho ilttlo country station. As
they npproached It slio saw her father
(Mr. Wynlnrd) who lived a low miles
olT, riding towards it, and turned her
horse to meet him.
" Well, Agnes," ho exclaimed, smil
ing, " nro you come to meet your hus
band, like a dutiful wifo ? I am expect
ing Linton down to spend a few days
with me, and nm eomo to look after
him. How late tl'o express is I I'll ruu
In nnd sco luw soon thoy expect It."
Ho dismounted from his horso and
entered the station, whllu Anges sat
outsldo watching thu people coming to
meet their friends or depart themselves.
Mr. Wynlard stayed several minutes in
tho station, and when 110 rejoined ner, .
there was a look on ills palo faco that
mado his daughter's heart give a dull j
mump nt ner siue, nuu maiio iter leei

" Ho brave, my girl, nnd rnako up
your mind to bear a littlo suspense,"
ho said, laying ids hand quietly ou hers. '
" There lias been an accident on the
line. The live o'clock express has gono
over the embankment, and several pas
sengers are killed and wounded. I ntn
going up tlie liiio now on an engine they
nre going to send, and I'll bring Ed-
mund back with me, I hope. Trust In 1
Otid, my child, lie may bo nil safe and
sound. Go home and wait as patiently
as you can." 1
Agne- heard htm through. Her heart
was heating with slow, heavy pulsa
tions, and a numbness stolo over her
whole body ; but sho did not cry or
faint. One deep heavy breath sho
drew : then in cold, hard tones, she
said :
"May I not go on tho onglno with
you V"
"My poor childl" said Mr. Wynlard,
"you must not. Edmund would not
wish It. 1'iobably lm is staying to help
the wounded. Go homo my child j I
11u1.1t bo oil. lie bravo I"
Sho slooned and kisied him quietly
and silently ; nnd then, with lixeii, un
seeing eyes, and pnlo stony fueti, rodu
home. Homo to tho empty house, tho
loud-ticking clock, and the dull gnaw
ing ngouy of her fearful waiting! slow
ly an 1 calmly sho passoil up the steps,
through tho hall and Into Mie drawing
room. Sho took her hat from her bum
iug head and passed on to tho window,
where slio toou ner staiiu 10 waicn tor

parted In anger for tho first time," and
sho felt sure that, by 0110 of those
strange fatalities, they would never
meet again.
Tho sun shone brightly ns over, a
bird snug gaily in a neighboring tree,
and the kitten was p'aving happily with
a iloatlng feather. Hutlifo was over for
her. Kdmund was dead, those kind
dark eyes closed forever that loving

turning her pale face aud dreamy oyos

tears stood ill ills eyes as ho put his

"Agues, my poor child," said he, In

but hu is not among tho wounded or

some minutes beforo it started. Heaven

fearful blow 1"
Agnes spoko not a thuddcr ran
through her wholo frame, and shu rais
ed her head and shook it, as If trying
tn shako off some bewildering weight.
Her eyes were dry, though tho tears
fell fast from her father's and she turn
ed her gaze once 1110 10 ou tho gate, as
If expecting somo one elso to comu.
Alas, poor youug wife I was sho look

Oh, careless words, so lightly spokon l

"Oh, no, no she sobbed. "I must

ipoke more plnlnly than any word
could speak.
Hut few such nights could eomo to

Tho dull gray light broke at lastThe
rising sun tinged the soft gray clouds
with rose nnd amber ; the littlo birds
twittered gaily and blithely onco moro
among tho dow-spangled trees, and
llfo proceeded on in Its accustomed
way, taking no heed of that weary,
widowed young heart tho future rob
bed of every hope I
Agues opened tlie window, that the
fresh inoining breezo might cool her,
aching, burning brow, and lent out to
gaze with heavy swollen eyes on tho
lovely scene before her, though all un
conscious of Its loveliness. Her father,
worn out with sitting up hour after
hour, In vain endeavors to soothe her
wild ngony of grief, lay sleeping heavi
ly on tho sofa, his wrinkled face look
ing moro wrinkled, and his gray hair
grayer than in tho clear light ot the
early morning.
Oppressed by tho dull stupor that
follows excesslvo weeping, Agnes stood
leaning ngalnst the window, listening
to the whistle of tho passing laborer, or
tlie clang-clang of the gardener's shar
pening scythe, as he mowed the lawn,
unconscious that his master was a man
gled corpse, and his mistress a widow,
for he had left his work beforo tho sad
news had reached the servants' ears,
The distant roar of an approaching
train struck on her ears, and Agnes
shivered at the terrible sound, and,
cowering down on the stone step of tho
window-sill, burled her face in licr
hands to shut out sight and sound, anil
all that reminded her of thn terrible
grief that had eomo on her young lifu.
Sho so far succeeded, that sho heard
nothing of tho approaching step on the
gravel, hut sat on, burled In her bitter
thoughts, till tho sound nf her name in
a well-known voice made her spring
to her feet with a wild cry, and in an
other moment she wis in her husband's
arms.
"My own Agnes my darling I what
does tills mean?" ho asked, In bewilder
ed stirprlso, which was certainly not
diminished by her excited answer :
"Oh, Edmund, Edmund I" she cried,
"they said you were killed I Edmund
my husband."
"Who did ? when ?" asked the as
tonished young man; but ho could gain
no answer, ti'l Mr Wynlard, roused
from his sleep by his daughter's ury,
nnd nskeil how ho had escaped tho
sma-sh up of yesterday's express.
"Uecauso I never was in it," he re
plied. "Did not Agnes get my note?"
"2io, Agnes got 110 note," replied
her father ; "and nno of the passen
gers told mo ho had seen you enter the
train fomn minutes before it started.
You were in one of tlie first carriages,
ho said, and thoy were mashed and
nearly all tho passengers killed."
Unit Is quite true,"rep!ied Edmund.
with a grave face ; "but before thu
train started I received a telegram to
say my father was worse, aud to beg
mu to come to mm instantly. I wrote
a line on the leaf of my pockctbook, to
toll Agues what had happened, and
gave It to poor Southy who was sitting
by my side, bogging him to let Agues
havo it at ouce; but I suppose the poor
fellow was killed. I then went to my
father, who died at two o'clock tliU
morning. As soon as I could get away
I came home. So ny poor little wife
has passed a night of widowhood anil
misery. Agnes, have you no word for
mo now I havo returned ?"
Agnes raised her pile, tear-stained
faco to Ids with a look ot tremulous
joy, too deep for words, whlsperlug j
"Uii, isumunu 1 it mane 11 so trebly
dreadful to think wu parted In anger!"
A OARLTUL JUDGE.
Judge Green, of thu Second District,
Washington Territory, may fairlv claim
to be considered the uio.it oautlous oc
cupant or tho beuch extant. A ciuo
resently bame before him in which uq
Indian was charred with tlm mnninr nf
another nomad who was 11 mediciiio
man. i lie ueitmaaut's wife had been
very 111, and labored under tho linn
conviction that thu medicine man had
bewitched her. Tho husbaud went to
the medicine man and requested the re
lenso of his wife from the spell which
was killing her. The demand was re
fifsed bj tho reputed wizard, who fur
ther said that the woman was in his
power and would die thu next day.
Upon this the husband very naturally
killed him. The defeusu took the
giound that a belief in wltchcratt was
sanctioned by tho Hlble, and was com
mon all tho world over. Tho Judge, in
charing tho Jury, otuurvoi that he did
not feel ut UUerty to asjuiuu that theru
was uo such tluajj as witehcratt ; that
he- would not take upon himself to de
ny tho possibility of the enchantment
ot the sick woman ; ami that as the de
fendant believed it to bo Ids duty to
savo his wife by killing the medicluu
ui.au, it was proper for ilia jury to rind
a verdict ot not guilty. Which they
accordingly did, to the cotiluiloii or ad
future uieUiciuo men. it is a fiinuv
yase.
