XIIK IRON CROSS. A Woman’s Confession. <A little faded miniature of a young girl in -•all herfreshness. I scarcely believe that I •ever looked like thiß—l, an old, sad woman, •who looks longingly to the time when the places! have known will know me no more And yet I, even I, was young and lovely once. Ah-me; how long it seems! Long ago, longer than to most women, for the blight fell upon me soon,and I count nearly all my years by my sorrows. - I was born by the seashore that, same •everlasting flood upon whose waters I can look out from my. window now, and to whose roar I listen as I write. My father -was wealthy, and I was raised in the lap of luxury.' He died when X was ten years old and most needed his care. I wish he had lived. He might have made me a better woman,, and the story of my Hl® might have been different. He died, I have stud, when I most needed hiß care, and X was left alone with my mother. She was not fit for the charge oon flded to her. She was weak and giddy, and she reared me in her notions of fashion and tolly. Ido not blame her that my life has been so sad; for it was in my power to •change it, but I would not. I grew np a beautiful, fascinating, fashionable woman, -and was greatly admired. Yon would not •think it, X know, to look at me now; but it is so. When I was grown, I made the dis covery that my father’s luxurious style of living had greatly diminished his fortune and the persistency with which my mother •clung to her accustomed mode of life made fearful inroads upon the rest. A few years at the farthest, would exhaust it. I spoke of this to my mother,and she acknowledged it, hut declared her inability to help it. In leas than a year she died, and oh, such a fearful death 1 I shudder when I think of it, though it was years ago, and I seem to hear her last words to me even yet; “Nelly never marry a poor man. Make a rich match.” It need not the mother’s wish to confirm me in my desire to contract a rich marriage for I had determined to adopt the plan as the only means by which I could escape from *he doom of poverty which I saw hanging oyer me. I had not the moral cou rage to face it, and resolved to fly from it but I little dreamed of the struggle that was in store for me; When I was a child, my only playmate was a boy a few years older than myself. He was named Walter Gwynne, and was the son of a neighor. Walter and I had been playmates and schoolmates together. He had carried me in his arms often, and ■used to call me his little pet. As we :grew up. our childish affection strength ened: and when we became man and wo man we loved each other with a love that could not die. We were never pledged to each other; but, I knew his heart and he knew mine. When my mother died Walter was very good to me. Oh, never had I loved him so well as I did then. In my gratitude, I gave him a relic that had belonged te my father, and begged him to keep it for my sake. It was a small, curi ously worked cross of iron, and bore the in scription in German: “I gave gold for iron, 1813,” It was one of the famous iron crosses that were bestowed by the King of Prussia in the war against Napoleon, and had been conferred by merit on my grandfather. It had never been in unworthy hands, and I gave it to Walter, as he was the only one I knew who merited it, and I did not think tten that my hand would indeed lay upon him a cross of iron never to be laid do wn. , I was deeply attached to my motherland mourned her sincerely; but this was notmv greatest sorrow. A heavier grief came upon , me—one for which I alone was responsible, it is true, but which was not the easier to bear on that account. > I had resolved on marrying a rich man as my own fortune would not last much longer, and I was firm in my determina tion, I loved Walter Gwynne with mv whole heart; but he was poor, and I knew yonld have a hard straggle in life, and I -had not the courage to face the world with him. I hated myself for my weakne3s.and -would have given worlds to have been his “Wifej hot I had not the moral courage to make the trial. It was wicked, I know* but I have suffered for it since, and if sorrow ■can atone for sin, then I have paid the usual penalty. - A few weeks after my mother’s death, ■Walter walked with me down to the rocks that lined the sea-shore. It was one of our favorite strolls, and it was the first time since my bereavement that we had been to gether for more than a few minntes at a time. He spoke to me about my future life, and asked me what I would do. I told him that I did not know; that my future -was still shrouded in mystery and doubt. “I have thought of this a good deal, Nel he,” he said, earnestly, “and I do not think that 1 shall do wrong to speak to you as I -wish.” ■ J I-glanced up at his face, and I saw the look there, knew what he wished to say. I grew pale and faint. ‘‘No, Walter,” I gasped; ‘‘don’t sayit •don’t say it!” He looked at me in surprise, and with an •exclamation of pain. - “I must say it, Nellie,.” he went on, “and you must listen to me. Ever since we were ■children I have loved you, and have looked to the day when I should claim you as my wife. Now that you are alone in the world, a think ‘I have, a right to urge my claim, rou knew I love you, and I have believed you love me. You know my prospects as TffeU &81 do,and that I have a hard struggle oefore me; but with your encouragement and love, I think I can come out of it with success. Will you be my wife, Nellie ?” 1 had sunk down on a rock, for I could go mo farther. My limbs refused to sustain mae, and it seemed that my heart would break, I covered my face with my hands -and strove fiercely to control my emotions. All my love for Walter rushed upon me in -a strong and mighty torrent, which well migh swept away the barriers of my sinful resolution. How grand and nohle he looked, as he laid his heart before me in all uts simple truthfulness; and how false and -ooul X was, as I shrank before his avowal in my criminal weakness! I wish I had died then; it would have been better for me I -said nothing, for I could not trust my voice -and Walter spoke again: “I want you to decide with a view to your own happiness. If you do not love me enough to be my wife, you must leant to do >so. But if it will make you happier to re ject me, do not hesitate to do so.” ' “Happier ?” I asked bitterly. \ He had been gazing out upon the sea, and turned suddenly at the sound of my voice. 1 was so full of bitterness that it startled even me. .' “Are you sick, Nellie?” he asked, anx iously. ~ “No,” I answered, with forced calmness, only I cannot talk to you about this now, Yvalter.

Not even then, Nellie.. I would in such a case, feel great sorrow; but no unkindness. But what makes you ask me?’’ He looked at me anxiously as lie spoke, “ Nothing,”l replied. “ Go,leave me now; X am weak and nervous. , He. turned off with a sigh; and as he went he seemed to carry all the light of my exist ence with him. I sank down on the rook and gave way to my feelings. I suffered in tensely, and my self-hatred became most unendurable; but still I grew firmer in' my resolution. The outburst enabled me to go' through the rest with more calmness. It was dark when I went back home, and by that time I had conquered my heart. Among my friends was a gentleman whom X had known from my childhood. He was fifty at least, and I wits just twenty one. I received a visit from him a few days after my interview with Walter, and before he left he made me an offer of his hand. He told me he had loved me for a long time; but had feared to speak before, as he was much older; that he feared I should not love J 1?. knew that I was alone in the ofhis ’love* elt 110 ** a< i a right to tell me These were almost the very words Walter had spoken to me, and they fell with a cold ehill upon my heart. I asked him time to reflect on the offer he had madej and was given as long a period as I desired. It seemed to me that some hidden power was holding out this, offer to tempt me to my fate. Here was a man of pure and noble ' heart, who wished to make me his wife. He was wealthy, and my position would be even betterUian at present; but I did not love him. Yet I had resolved upon a rich marriage, and X had no better prospect than this? Should I accept him? Oh! that for toce, the agony of those thoughts! I felt that , J T lew 'what my course■ would be. It wouldhe’to deceive a good, true man, who trusted me, and to prove false to my own uG&rti I avoided Walter; but I could, not help seeing him sometimes. He never said any thing more with regard to the ofler he had made me, but I perceived that he was anxi ously awaiting my answer. Little did he dream how much suffering thess interviews cost me. I would have given my life to have knelt at his feet, and laid my heart bare beforehim;tohaveaskedhim to take me to hiß own great heart and save me from my self, but I could not—l could not. I resolved to end this trial. I sent to Mr. Grey, and gave him an answer to his suit. I promised to be his wife. When he left me I fainted, and after that my heart seemed frozen within me. Only once it moved Be yond ,my control. One aiternoon, about sunset, I went out out along the rocks near the seashore, where I bad been so often with Walter. I sat for a long time looking out on the waves, which were overcast with a dull leaden hue, and listenmgto the moaning of ths surf on the beach. Tne sadness of the scene calmed my tortured feelings, and I sat motionless with a vague sense of relief from pain. How long I sat thus Ido not know. I was aroused by an instinctive knowledge that I was not alone, and looking up, I saw Walter stand ing by me. He was sadder than I had ever seen him. He sat down by me, and we talked for a long time. The moon was rising, but it was soon obscured by dark clouds. Still we sat there. I wished to tell him of my engagement, but I knew not h ° w , do so .‘ J- toought it best that he should learn it from my own lips. At last I nerved myself for the fearful effort. “Walter,” I said, and my voice sounded Harsh and stern; “do yon know Mr. Grav*” “Certainly. He is one of the best and most upright men in the place. Whv do you ask?” J “Because I have promised to be his wife ’ ’ I replied. I shook like an aspen; mv strength seemed going from me. J Walter only bent his head so that I could not see his face and then said in a low tone, after a moment’s silence: *‘l had feared this for some time, Nellie 1 don’t blame yon; but I doubt tbe wisdom of choosing so old a man,” course you do; it’s natural that you snould, I spoke sharply, and even rudely; but it was a relief to the pain that was gnaw mg at my heart. s He rose to his feet quickly, and walked a tew paces from me, then came back. “That was unkind, Nellie,” he said, “but tell me, do you love Mr. Gray?” “Ok, “S' <?°dl groaned involuntarily. “That question from you!” He came and stood directly over me, and looking at me sternly, asked fiercely: “Tell me, do you love that old man ?” I had unconsciously betrayed myself, and I took refuge in anger. * “Youhave no right to ask that question.” I replied quickly. ’ ‘ l l have » right to ask it. I wiil tell you why. It is because you have deceived me; ana wrung my heart until it is almost broken; because I know that my worst tears are confirmed—because you are about .to trample upon my heart as well as yeur own, all for the sake of the old man’s gold. I have a right to ask the question, and to demand an answer.” 1 , 1 £°®, e t 0 feetl 1 waa angry now, for he had spoken to me as no one had ever done before; and I did not pause to think of the provocation I had given him. “1 refused to answer it,” I exclaimed. “Yon shall answer me,” he broke forth excitedly. “Ttosj B of you.” I exclaimed, scornfully.- “You can insult me here, where 1 have no protector. I think I shall make a lucky escape from marrying yon.” He stood before me silently, with his head bowed. He pointed to the rock and mo tl<iSSd,Jrat 1 should sit down; but I refused. “Nellie,” he said, slowly, and the suffer ing in his tone pierced my heart; I ask your pardon for my rudeness. When you were a little child I used to carry youin my arms over all the rough places in my way to the school; and, even then was pleased to look forward to the time when I should have the right to carry you over the rugged road, along which we must all make our lite journey. - Since that time: I have neyer had a thought that was not'fori your happiness.' X love you better than X can ever love another—better, even, than life itself; but if it would secure your happiness, I would see that love change into a life-long sorrow and murmur not.” God knows what demon prompted me* but I answered, cheeringly, “So it would seem.” I saw him flinoh under the cruel blow* mt he continued with his eyes fixed on the ea: ‘I speak the truth; I could not lie to yon here, Nellie, with God overhead, and His voice speakipg to me in the booming of the waves. I feel that I have lost you forever, and I hope you will believe me.” He paused, and seemed waiting for me to speak; but I said nothing, and he went on. this time looking at me steadily. “I am sorry yon think so poorly of me. Since it is nthe case, however, I- ongnt to re tnni you this. When you gave it to me, you said it was to be worn only by good and worthy men. I oughtnot to k'eep it.” He held out to me the" iron’cross, and his band trembled as he did so.

I implore you do not marry that man.” I felt that I could no longer resist him, he held me thus. I called, up all my forti tude to anstaln me— “ Release .;me Walter G wynne,”' I ex claimed coldly; ‘'yod have no right to act so.” “By Heaven,” heshouted fiercely; “I will not part with you. Look at those waves. ■ What is to hinder me from hurling you in to mem, and saying you from a life of infamy? You do not love that old man,-and you marry him for his gold. By Heaven, you shall not; I will plunge you. beneath those waves and follow you there, before you shall be.his wife.” J A quick, firm footstep was' heard behind us, and a voice exclaimed in angry aston ishment: G wynne, what does this mean ?” Walter released the, and we both looked round abruptly. Mr. Gray was standing within a few feet of us. Walter looked at him fora, moment, hesitated, and then sprang down the rocks and was out of sight. What does this mean ?” Mr. Gray asked hesitatingly, ■ “Poor boy,” I said, aalmly,” “he has just made me an offer of his hand, and disap pointment made him forget'what was due me. I hope you will pay no attention to him, for l am sure he will be ashamed of himself when he grows calmer.” • It cost me much to utter these words; but I did it so calmly and with snoh composure that Mr. Gray was deceived. “I am sorry for him, Nelly,” he said, simply. “If he loves you as I do, I can well imagine how much suffering his loss has cost him.” We went home in silence. I did not see Walter again. In the morning I received a note with only two words: “Forgive me ” and in the evening I heard that he was gone away from the village. : : In a month after this I was married. I had learned to rule my heart, and I did no’ falter as I repeated the awfiil words which I Vowed to love my husband. A few weeks after my marriage I learned that Walter bad fallen heir to an immense fortune left bim by a distant relative. This was the be ginning of my punishment. I wanted wealth, and had I been true to my heart I might have had it; and with it the love I craved. Mr. Gray was kind and tender. All that wealth and affection could do to make me happy, he lavished upon me; but each fresh proof of his love and confidence only in creased my misery and Belf-contempt. I was a living lie. I hated myself and prayed for death; bnt could not find it. At last a child was born to me—a darling little blue-eyed girl. My whole soul wai bound up in her, and just as I was lookin'* forward to happiness in her, God took her irom me. I know the punishment was just out it was hard to think so then. ’ After my baby died, I became reckless I cared for nothing. My husband’s love was l ° “ e . and every day I found it more difficult to bear. At last there came one who, though nominally my husband’s triend, sought both his ruin and my own ■ , r .® ad “y secre t fully and humbled me wuh it. I was mad—l was desperate. Even open shame was preferable to the lire of i reachery and falsehood I was leading. My ousband’s false friend watched me closely attended me like my shadow, and at last askedme to fly with him. In my wretched ness I consented. Heaven knows I was in nocent of sinful intent, but in my misery I clutched the first chance of escape. We left the house one dark, stormy night, and entering a close carriage, set off at lull apeed for the railway station. The horses took fright and ran away. I sat in the car nage, dumb with terror and almost uncon >cious of everything, until a sudden crash startled me, and I found myself buried in one corner of the vehicle, which fell heavily >n one side. In an instant my companion was out or the wagon, so that when the peo ple collected about it no one knew that he oad occupied it with me. They helped me to alight, and congratulated me on mv for i unate escape. As I was moving away I saw them take something like a unman form from under i he wheels, and was told that it was the body of a man who had been run over and al most killed when the carriage npset. In voluntarily I sprang forward, and saw in the nickering lamplight the pale ghastly fea i ures of Walter Gwynne. I did not laint or fry out, but sustained by a superhuman energy, followed the men with their burden to a room in the tavern close by. A physi cian was summoned, andheprenonncedthe injuries mortal. He said that Walter would tie during the night. At my request all but the physician and myself were excuded from the room. I never left it until Walter lay in it a corpse. Jn about an hour he recovered his con cionsness. The doctor told him he must lie, and asked if he was prepared. A soft -wtet smile lit up his dear face as he an •wered: “Yes God be praised that I am so near he end of my trials.” He turned and saw me, his face shone vith joy. “It was kind in yon to come, Nellie,” he vbispered. ’ I stayed with him daring the night. I old him that I loved him—had always loved mm, and how I had suffered; but kept irom him my shameful attempt at flight. I could not bear to embitter his last moments with such a confession. He held my hand lovingly, and never took his eyes from me until they were closed upon earth. "Will you kiss me, Nellie? There wiil be, no un in it. lam so near heaven that here will be no taint of earth in it.” I bent down find kissed him, and mv ears rained upon his face. His hand re leased its grasp, and his eyes closed gently; then there came into his face a look of per fect happiness and peace, and I knew it was .hat peace which passeth all understanding. Ina fewyeara my husband died,“blessing me for having been a true and'faithful wife He never knew how I deceived and wronged him, and I am thankful he did not. It would have darkened his last hours with a sorrow which his trust in me spared him. watching for the day when I shall follow them. I have sinned; but I have suffered and repented. I have sought tneroy and forgiveness at the foot of the •-kCss, and wait humbly for the day when the heavy laden shtOr-travail no more and the weary be at rest. PKTIUtEfe, FBAWRs. A,n GEORGE O.
