THE ANGEL BRIDE
FROM THE MSS. OF A LATE PHYSICIAN
It was evening—the evening of a sum
mer Sabbath. The sweet hush of nature,
unbroken a single sound of busy life,
harmonizedlut too painfully with the op
pressive, stillness which pervaded„ the
chamber whither my footsteps wer‘bent.
It was on the ground floor of a pretty res
idence in the outskirts of the village of
C—. Its open windows overlooked a
garden where taste and beauty reigned su
preme—a second Eden which extended
with a scarce perceptible delineation to
the very margin of a stream, where it was
bounded by a white picket, and by a hedge
of low•trirumed shrubbery, over which the
eye caught the flashing waters as they
swept on, glowing in the crimson radiance
of the sunset.
I entered the house and stepped lightly
along a carpeted passage, tapped softly; at
the'door of the 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 ! the
dear sufferer is now in a quiet slumber—
but Must presently awake, and one of her
first enquiries will be for you."
“Elotv is your sweet Lucy now ?"
"She has been quiet and apparently com
fortable all day. it is her Sabbath, doctor,
as well as the worshippers who go up to
the earthly courts of Zion. Oh!, she ad
ded, while the sunlight of joy irradiated
her features, pale with long vigils at the
bedside of her sweet Lucy, "Oh ! how full
of consolation is the scene of moral life and
suffering, of earthly bitterness, of expiring
hope !"
"Yes my dear friend," I replied, "your
cup of afliction is indeed sweetened from
on high. I have seen death to-day clad
in the robes of terror. He took from my
hopeless care a victim all unprepared even
after long and faithful warning; and the
reconciliation of the sad struggle, the ter
rible anguish vanquished, the fierce tri
umph of the conqueror, and the piercing
wail of exhausted nature, haunt my , Memo
ry still; andeven in this paradise I
cannot forget them."
"And is poor Edwards gone at last to
his dread account? Oh, how fearful!" and
the gentle lady covered her face and
wept.
Some time elapsed. I lingered at the
couch of Lucy till she should. awake, and
taking from the stand .a small though ele
gant copy of the bible, I opened the silver
clasp, and my eye caught the simple in
scription of the fly leaf:—"To my Lucy—
a parting gift of Clarence." Ihad design
ed to read a portion of the word, but
thought was for the time engrossed.
I had known Lucy May from her infancy,
and she was scarcely less dear to me 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 older; no brother
or sister had either of them, and hence the
intensity of mutual love. Their thoughts,
their affections, and their pursuits were in
common. They called. each other 'sister,'
and their intercourse hongred the endear
ing name.
And Clarence—the giver of this little
volume in my hand—who'was he Clar
ence Hamilton was the :on of my best
earthly friend, and a nor youth, in all
the lofty faculties and endowments of the
heart, and intellect, nelr rejOiced in the
vigor of life and early hianhood. To him
had. Lucy been betrothect:for more than a
year, and he was now alient from the vil
lage, though we trusted that when each
sun rose, that its setting :would bring him
back in answer to our cautious summons.—
Especially had trope and expectation grown
within our hearts, on that viening, yet had
not a word been spoken on the subject of
:the widowed mother of tliff lovely Lucy.—
..At length, however, she rilsed her head,
and observing the open volume in my hand
she said in an assumed tone of cheerfulness
"I trust Clarence will come home this eve
ning. It is now—
"Clarence?" said the 'Sweet patient,
opening her dark eyes and looking eagerly
around. Her eye rested our , :' her mother
and myself, and with a slight 'quiver, and
a sad smile, she said, “he-isnot come."
"No, my darling, he is not yet come; but
there is more than an hour4o the close of
the day, and then—"
•
"God grant he may olSe," said the
maiden, and she added with energy, "if it
be His holy will. Oh, doctor, my kind,
dear friend,your Lucy is wearing away fast,
is she not ?" and then observing the
emotion which I attempted to conceal, she
said, "but I am better to-day, am 1 not?
Where is Ellen—why does she not come ?"
Her mother turned an inquiring glance up
on me as I took the thin white hand of the
young girl in mine, and marked the feeble
but regular beatings of the pulse.
"Shall I send for your daughter, doctor ?'
she asked.
I acquiesced, and in d, few minutes El
len was sobbing violently, with her, face
hidden on the bosom of her "sister."
"Ellen, my sweet sister," said Lucy,
"your father has told me that I must leave,"
and her voice faltered, "my own dear mo
ther, and —" but she did not utter the
name of her lover, for at that moment the
voice of one of the domestics was distinct
ly heard saying.
"He is come. Mr. Clarence is come.—
Now God bless my dear young lady."—
Lucy uttered a scream of joy, and clasping
Ellen around the neck, murmured, "Father
in 11 - aven, I thank Thee !" and then faint
ed with excess of happiness. Her swoon
was brief. She recovered almost immedi
ately, and her face was radiant with hap
piness.
Clarence Hamilton was pursuing his
studies at a distant College, and the letter
which summoned him to C—, had scarce
ly intimated danger in the illness of his
betrothed. It had been delayed on the
way, and but half the time of its journey
had sufficed to bring the eager, anxious
student to the spot where his heart had
stored its affections, and centered its hopes,
next to Heaven; for Clarence was more
than a noble-hearted, high-souled man; he
was a disciple of Jesus Christ; and he was
getting himself to be an apostle of his
holy religion. He, had nearly completed
his course of studies, and was then to be
united to the beautiful Lucy May.
Three months before the Sabbath even
ing of which we write, Lucy was in health,
and with her companion Ellen, was per
forming her delightful duties as a Sabbath
School Teacher. Returning home she was
exposed to a sdden storm of rain, and took
cold. Her constitution, naturally weak,
was speedily -affected, and consumption,
that terrible foe of youth and beauty, seized
upon her as another victim for its mighty
holycaust of death. At first the type of
her disease was mild, but within three
weeks it had assumed a fearful character,
and now her days were evidently few.
For this dreadful intelligence Clarence
was not prepared. He learned, but he ho
ped more, and though his heart was heavy,
hope kindled a bright smile in his manly
face, as he entered the little parlor, where
he had spent so many hours in exquisite
happiness. He had alighted from the stage
just before it entered the village, and pro
ceeded at once to the residence of Lucy.
As Mrs. May entered the room, the
smile on his lips faded, for liar pale face
told a sad tale to his heart.
"Clarence, dear Clarence, you have the
welcome of fond hearts."
"How is Lucy 1 Why is your face dead
ly pale ? Oh, say is she not dangerously
ill tell me"—and a thought of misery en
tered his heart; "she is,—oh, my God, my
Father in Heaven, strengthen me,—she is
dying,—even now, dying !"
"Nay, nay, Clarence," said the mother,
soothingly, "Lucy lives, and we must hope
for the best; but he not alarmed if you see
her face even paler than my own. Are you
able to bear the sight now ?"
There was but little consolation to his
fears in the reply of Mrs. May. Lucy was
living, but there was an anguish in the
expression,—"hope for the best," and he
said hurriedly, "oh, take me to her at once,
—now," and he pressed his hand on his
thfobbing brow, and then sinking 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 the 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 clays of his incarnation and
anguish. He arose and with a calmer voice
said, "I can see her now."
At this moment I joined them, with Lu
cy's earnest request- that Clarence should
come to her at once. We entered the
chamber just as Ellen had partially opened
a blind, and the last rays of sunlight
streamed fairly througli in the room, and
fell for a moment on the white cheek of
Lucy, rendering its hue still more snowy.
Alas! Clarence; as his earnest eyes' met
those of his betrothed,—her whom he had
left in the very flush of perfection, of youth
ful loveliness,—now how changed ! His
heart sank within him, and with a wild sob
of anguish he clasped her pale thin fingers,
and kissed her colorless lips, kneeling the
while at the side of her couch. •
, "Clarence, my own Clarence," said the
sweet girl, with an effort to rise, which she
did, supported by his arm. He spoke not
he could not—dared not speak.
Clarence, cheer up, my beloved," but
her fortitude failed, and all she could do
was to bury her face in her lover's bosom
and weep. We did not attempt to check
their grief; nay, we wept with them, and
sorrow for a while had its luxury of tears
unrestrained.
crarence at length broke the silence
"Lucy my own dear Lucy! God forgive
me for my own selfish grief 3" and he ad
ded fervently, lifting his tearful eyes to
Heaven, "Father, give us grace to bear
this trouble aright," and turning to me,
added, "Doctor, oh? pray that we may
have strength to meet this hour like Chris
tians."
When the,voice of prayer ceased, all
feelings werecalmed, bnt I deemed it ad
visable to leave the dear patient to brief
repose; and Ellen alone remaining, we re
tired to the parlor, where Clarence learn
ed from us more of her illness, of her
true condition, for I dared not to delude
him with false hopes.
"Docfor", said he, with visible anguish,
"is there no hope?"
"Not of recovery, I fear, thongh she
may linger some time with us, and be bet
ter than she is to-day."
"Then God's will be done," said the
young man, while a holy confidence lighted
up his face, now scarcely less pale than
that of his'betrothed Lucy.
Day after day the dear girl lingered,
ands many sweet hours of converse did
Clarence ' and Lucy pass together; once
even she was permitted to spend a few mo
ments in the portico of the house, and as
Clarence supported hex, and saw a tint of
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR IS THE GREATEST REWAEtD."BucHANAN
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1854.
health overspread her cheek, hope grew
strong in his heart. But Lucy doubted
not that she should die speedily, and hapi
ly this conviction had reached her heart
ere Clarence came, so that the agony of
her grief in prospect of separation from
him had yielded to the blissful anticipa
tion of Heaven, that glorious clime where
she would, ere long, meet those from whom
it was "more than death to part."
"Dear Lucy," said Clarence, as they
stood gazing on the summer flowers, "you
are better, love. May not our Heavenly
Father . yet spare you to me,—to your moth
er,—to cousin Ellen,—to happiness ?"
"Ah, Clarence, do not speak of this. It
will only end in deeper bitterness. I must
go, and 'Clarence you must not mourn
when I exchange even this bright world
for the Paradise of immortality."
Clarence could not answer. He pressed
her band and drew itclose to his throbbing
heart, and she resumed, pointing to a bright
cluster .of amaranth,—"See, there, Charles
is the emblem of the life and joys to which
I am hastening."
Three weeks had passed. It was again
the evening of the Sabbath. I stood by
the couch of Lucy May. Her mother and
Ellen sat on either side, and Clarence Ham
ilton supported on a pillow in his arms the
bead of the fair girl. Disease had taken
the citadel, and we awaited its surrender
to death.
The man-of God, her pastor from child
hood, now entered the room, and Lucy
greeted him affectionately; and he said; 'is
it well with thy soul ?" She answered in
a clear and sweetly confiding tone of voice :
"It is well! Blessed Redeeiner thou
art my only trust." •
Clarence now bent his head close to the
head of Lucy, and whispered in her ear,
;but so distinctly that we all heard.
"Lucy, since thou may not be mine in
life, be mine in death; let me follow you
to the grave as my wedded wife, and 1
shall have the blissful consolation of antic
ipating a re-union in Heaven."
The eye of the dying girl lighted up
with a quick and sudden joy, as she smil
ingly answered. . .
"It is well, Clarence,—l would fain
bear thy name before I die ?" We were
started at this strange request and answer
but no heart or lip ventuDed to oppose it.
Lucy then Said,—
"Mother, dear mother, deny me not my
last requests will you and Ellen dress me
in my bridal robe ? I will wear it to my
tomb l" Clarence also besought Mrs. May
to grant this wish, and let him win a bride
and mother; and she answered :
• "As you and Lucy will, but it will be,''
and her heart spoke—"it will be a mourn
ful bridal."
Lucy- now motioned us from the room,
and we retired. Clarence was the first to
to speak.
'You will not blame me that 1 seek
even in the arms of death to make her my
wife.' Oh, how much of bliss has crowded
into this one anticipation . , and though in
dnal win be a •sacl bridal,' it will sweet
en the cup of bitterness which is now
pressed to my lips."
In a few minutes we re-entered that hal
lowed 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 outrivalled her cheeks iu
whiteness, save where the hectic, now
heightened by excitement, flushed in.--
Clarence seated himself by her, and she
was raised to a sitting posture, and sup
ported in his arms. She placed her wasted
hands in his, and said, half playfully, half
sadly, a 'Tis a worthless offering, Clar
ence."
He pressed it to his fevered lip—his
face pale and flushed by turns. - The min
ister arose and stood before them, and in
a few words aad simple, united those two
lovely beings in a tie which all felt must
be broken ere another sun should rise.—
Yet was that tie registered and acknowl
edged in Heaven.
As the holy man pronounced them one
flesh, and lifted up his hands and voice in
benediction, Lucy put her feeble arms
around Clarence and in a low voice mur
mured—
"My husband."
"My wife !" responded Clarence, and
their lips met in a long and sweet embrace.
We gave them congratulation, though
quick tears exchanged the sweet kiss of
holy love and friendship.
That night before the last hour, the an
gel Azriel came as a•messenger of peace
to that bridal chamber, and though new
foundations of earthly bliss had been
opened the heart of Lucy Hamilton, she
repined not at the summons, but while
heavenly joy sat on her features, and her
lips murmured—"peace—farewell husband
—mother—sister—all," her pure spirit
took its flight, and her lifeless body lay in
the embrace of the woe-stricken but hum
ble Clarence—who still lingers in this
weary world doing his Master's work, and
waiting his will to be re-united to his an
gel bride in Heaven.
STRANUE CREDULITY---A $3OOO
SWINDLE
About two weeks ago, as a gentleman
farmer, living in Madison county, was ri
ding towards his home, not far distant, he
observed a man and a woman by the road
side, engaged in repairing tin-ware. A few
days afterwards, a woman called at his
house, and after some conversation, asked
him if he did not recollect her. He re
plied that he did not. She then told him
that she had seen him on the road a few
days before, and that his appearance had
made such an impression upon her mind,
that she was compelled to call and see him
She told him that she was an astrologer,
and that she was well acquainted l with its
mysteries. She saw at once that he was
an extraordinary person, and knew that he
had been born under a particular planet,
and that great things might be expected of
him. She then took from her apron a book
which seemed to contain a number of dia
grams, figures, &c., and read from it, in
an unknown tongue, a few "hocus pocus"
sentences, after which, closing it and put
ting it back into its hiding place, she went
into the kitchen bought a few pounds of
butter of the wife of the gentleman, for
which she paid liberally, and went on her
way.
A day or two afterwards, the woman
called again reiterating what she had said
on her first visit, the farmer paying but lit
attention to what she said, looking upon
the whole affair as an attempt to humbug
him. Not at all discouraged, the woman
called again the next day, and wound,up
her conversation by saying that she knew
where three hat crowns full of gold had
been buried on his farm; * and that, if he
would do as she directed, they coul. recov
er it; but that it was necessary to aay the
spirits that stood guard over it; that large
sum of money must be present wit them
at the incantation. She thought fiv thou
sand dollars would be required, but as not
sure as to'ffie amount; and she prop sed, if
he would go into it, and furnish the poney
that she would give him two-thirds nf the
treasure, while she Would reserve thq other
one-third as her share.' I
Up to this time, the farmer appears to
have had no confidence in the womaki; but
as she took his hand, and traced the mys
terious lines therein, telling him thq great
things in store for him, he began to I place
some confidence in her, especially as she
told him some things that had occurred in
his life that he supposed had never] been
known. About this time he sold a !large
lot of cattle; for which he received in cash
about $4OOO. The next day the Woman
called again, and said that $3OOO was the
amount required to bo present to allay the
spirits. The farnier then produce/I the
package of money received for the attle,
and the two sat down to a.table, and qount
ed out $3OOO in bank notes, excepting
four small gold coins. The money was
then folded up and put into a handkerchief
the woman all the time making !sarange
motions, and talking strange tali. I The
next day and the day after the woman call
ed again, each time counting the oney
as before, making the same signs, & .. but
leaving the money with the farmer,wr Aped
up in the handkerchief. At the nex visit
she required him to take a solena oath
that he was not to tell to a living aoul the
object they were in pursuit of; that she
was going away to be absent a short time;
he was not to look at the package of Imon
ey at any time excepting when she was
present; and, after making an earnestrpray
er, she took hold of him while she held the
package of money in her hand, and 4v - ung I
him around, so that they came together
back to back. She then gave him teak the
handkerchief, as he supposed, all right,
and told him that she would return on the
15th, 16th, or 17th of August, and[ then
they would go in company and secure the
hidden treasure. On the 15th he, hardly
expected to meet her, and was not qisap
pointed that she did not come. on the ,
16th he sat up late at night expectiqg her
arrival. I
After waiting till near midnight, on the
17th, he began to suspect all was not fright,
and he feared all this might be a •qap to ,
rob him. So strong did this suspiqio i nfas- 1
ten upon him, that he took up his t gun,
loaded it, and went out into the shruobery ,
surrounding the house, where he coup see
all who approached without being seen, and ,
remained there until two o'clock in the'
morning. But no one came. As thei time
had elapsed that was set by his fair ; ' visitor,
he considered himself absolved frqin his'
obligation, never . doubting in the i least
that his money was safely deposited in the
hnntilnaralliof. '
Unrolling itcarefully, what washis dismay
at seeing, not a roll of bank bills, and four
pieces of gold, as he had left it, buti a!pack
a , re of brown paper and four cents; in lieu
thereof. Even the handkerchief had been
changed; instead of being his own, it was
one precisely similar. One of the strangest
things in. all this strange transaction is
that a counterfeit five dollar bill that was
placed in the package of money, w4sltakett
out of it, and returned in the roll of brown
paper. How this was done is a mystery
we cannot solve. The farmer who has . been
so completely bamboozled out of • $ l 3OOO,
now seeks to find some remedy at
Strange as this story may appear to
many, we have the facts from the moo un
doubted authority, and we have giC,ed them
just as they occurred. We can sympathize
with our friend, the farmer, in the loss of
his money, for, he is not the first pf the
masculine gender who has been, and l alas,
he is not the laSt who will be duped by a
prettywoman.,--Columbus (0.) State
Journal.

said Mrs. Partington to her nephe who
