and at twelve every inmate of • the

lay twisting and turning an the bed,,
in all the agonyaf sleepless suspense.
The clock struck one; its last.vlrat=

when thcinpening of -a shatter and
the raising of a. sash in. one of the

had seized mypistol and slipped on

The person now '.slowly moved on,
and cautiously approached the door
of her bedchamber. --- , •
I now went - by instinct, or rather
by the conveyance of sounds;" for as
soon as I heard his hand grasp the
latch of one door, mine seized on the
other. A deep silence followed. this
movement; it seemed as if -he heard
the sound and waited the repetition.
It came not—all was still. He might
have considered it- the echo 'of his
oiin noise. I heard-the door softly
open. I also opened mine. I caught
a glimpse of a tall man' entering the
lighted chamber of' the young- lady.
I scaly stepped along the hall and
approached the. chamber. Through

He accordingly paid his addresses to

This reply to Mr. Wirt was as "un
expected as it was novel. His reply
was that he-regarded her proposition
as a, bar-to all further _-consideration
on the subject. Her course to him
was the same •as ever—his, 'resent

a few weeks he went again, and
again solicited her hand. Her reply
was, her mind was made up. He be
came indignant, and regarded, the
terms she, proposed - as insulting to'

the last meeting they should ever
have. He took to drinking worse,.
and seem , 'd to run headlong to ruin.

over her face. After he had remain

awakened and his thirst being so
great; he went -into the little grocery
orkog shop, to get' a drink, when
he discovered 'he handkerchief,
which he' looked at, and the name
that was on it. After pausing a few
Minutes he exclaimed: _

He retired instantly from the store

vowing . thi t t if God gave , him
strength, never to touch, taste or

To meet Miss G. again was the
hardest effort of his life. If he met .
her in her carriage or on foot, ho
would dodge the nearest corner. She
at last addressed a note to him, un
der her own hand, inviting him to
the house, which he finally gathered
courage enough to accept. Ho told,
