BY SYLVANUS COBB, JR The reader will pardon me for not revealing the name of the person who gave me the follow ing strange episode in his life. Ho is still liv ing, an honored and respected man, and might not like the idea of having his name sent broadcast over the world in connection with the bit of romance which only his immediate friends at present understand. One pleasant afternoon I called upon him agreeably to his own invitation, and •after supper ho gave me the history of the event which had —. But the reader shall see ; so hero is MY FRIEND'S STORY. My 'parents were not only poor hut they both died when I was quite young, and my first en try into active life was as an apprantice to a watch-maker. I remained with him until I was eighteen, and then I went; to B— to work for a company of jewellers upon very fair wages. It was here that 1 became acquainted with Olara Lotwell. She was a year younger than myself, and of respectable parentage, though by no means wealthy, her father being only a journeyman carpenter. But she was a beautiful girl, and I learned to love her. -She was not one of your painful looking beauties ; nor was she of that stamp which marks the highest, noblest, purest class of beauty. But she was very fair, with laughter-loving dimples and sparkling blue eyes, and with a voice as sweet as the warble of the robin. At least, so it all seemed to me then. Finally Clara confessed her love for me, and L was then happy. It was a wild, passionate emotion, and every avenue of my soul was filled with the working love. I was perfectly hap py only when by her side ; and when she rea ed upon my bosom, and the 'deep love-light of her oyes beamed upon the, it seemed as though in all the universe there could be no higher heaven. I was with her whenever I could be away from my business. We talked, and walked, and read, and sung together, and the moments sped, on, glittering like diamonds us they dropped from the glass of time. .At the end of a year from the time of my (list interview with her I began to talk or mar ripge. I was then twenty, having been with the jewellers two years. Clara was willing to become my wife at Once, but her parents most peremptorily said no. But they told me that. at the end of another year. when I was one and-twenty, if I was then doing well, and our love remained unchanged, we might be married. Oh ! that was a long time to look over—that long, long year ; but yet I wits - happy. I re solved to strain every nerve towards doing well fit my business, for the prize was a priitt• less one—more than all the world beside to me. My employers-liked the well, and at the com mencement of this third year raised my wages to a sum that would have enabled me to keep house in a respectable manner. I had nearly five hundred dollars laid by, and it was this circumstance, coupled with my known steadi ness of habit, that gitve me power in the eyes of Clara's father. OM Time sped on, and my love grew stronger with each succeeding. day. I could see no im perfections in my beloved—she was all perfec tion to me. Iler little pouts were but as clouds upou a mirror, which a single sweep will wipe away ; and the surface I thought unmarred. At length, when six months of the long year were done, my employers wished Inc to go to New York and assist in un establishment which they had bought out there,—or rather, which had fallen into their hands by way of a heavy debt. They told me I might be gone only a month, and perhaps two, or three-months. I disliked to,go, but 1 dared not confess the weak= ness winch held me. The evening before I was to stari I spent with Clara. We talked a long, long while of our love, and we both were sad with the thoughts of the separation ; but we promised to write often—she was to answer My letters as soon as they were received, and we were to be both very unhappy all the time I was gone. At the hour of midnight I arose to leave. I held Clara to my bosom a long wink, and then, with one warm kiss, we said •' Good bye—tied bless you"—and in a moment more I was in the street. On the next morning I was early on my way to the great city. I watched the house whetu my loved one lived until it was shut from ate, and then I turned my thoughts inward, and wondered if 1 should feet as unhappy during the whole time as I then. I reached the city on the night the second day, and the first thing Idi ter reaching my room was-to sit down and write a letter fur Clara. You can imagine what kind of a letter it . was. It would have been a silly, nonsensical thing to any third party, but to me it was the lire of Heaven's own love. In due time I received an answer, and it was all my heart could have hoped for. 1 fairly wept over it id . the deep gratitude of my love. A month passed away, and during that time I had written six letters, and received replies to each one of them. During the second month two of my letters were unanswered, and the an swers 1 utd receive were brief, and, I thought, cold. I thought they had answered rather the tone of friendship, than of love. At the end of the second month I returned. My last two letters remained yet unanswered. 11 hen 1 reached my boarding-house, the hos tess handed me a package of papers that had come during my absence, and with them was a letter. it was low. clafa. I went up to my room and opened IT. - 1 read a few words only, and then my head grew dizzy. She had re turned my ring and miniattny, and—wished to see me no wore but as a common frißod !. At length I read the letter through. She informed we that she had never meant to deceive me, but that she had not truly known her own teart-4t was not mine ! And then her father wrote somethhig at the bottbm. Ile hoped I should not blame his daughter, and that I would noe`allow i p% cir cumstance to affect we. • I sprang to y feet and resolved to go at once and see Clara. Per. Allentown, Pa., June 1856. haps she would yet love me if I told her all my love over again. I went. I reached her door, and I heard her voice in the sitting-room. It was in the.evening, and a lamp was burning in filo room where she was. I did not atop, to knock—l was too much excited—l opened the door and entered. I saw Clara, and—sho was in the' arms of a young man ! She was upon his lap, as she had sat in mine an hundred times; her head was upon his bosom, and his arms wound fondly about her ! They started to their feet, and in the youth I recognized the son of one .of our wealthiest stockhold?rs. His nano was James Rawson. I remember that he angrily asked me why I was there ; and that sho bade me begone and never see her more ! I fled from the house, and sought my own chamber again. Oh ! what a crash was that ! My soul was one chaotic wreck, and my heart all crushed and broken ! I paced up and down my room until midnight, and then I went out of doors, where the fresh air seemed for the moment to revive me. I saw not my btd that night. On the following morning, all pale and haggard, I went to see Clara's father. I had yet a faint hope that he might intercede for me. Clara saw me as I approached the house, and she fled, saw her father, but he would not listen to Inc. He told me—mark now, the motivelle told me that his daughter had found opportunity fur a more promising alliance, and she had taken np with it ! I tried to convince him that James Rawson was not a steady man, but ho would not listen. He knew that Rawson's father was wealthy, and that was enough. At least, that was the meaning of his words. After this I wandered off, and returned to my. room at early evening without having eaten at all. What was life worth to me, now ? Every hope was gone, for the basis of all my hopes was swept away. I pondered upon it, and I could only see in the future the same dread blackness that enveloped me then. I could not live so. I could not suptiort an agony so in tense. I had often wondered how it could be possible that n man could ever reach such a state of mind as to lead him to take his own life ; but I wondered no more, for at that moment life was but a drear waste—the future a thankless burden which I could not bear. Those who have never experienced the feeling can form no idea of it. Men may tell of trials, and troubles, and ofgriefs ; and they may paint the joys of hope and of fruition ; but man can not tell the awful depth of that hopeless despair which swallows up the broken heart ! The first moment of calmness which came to soothe me was when I had resolved to die. As sooon as I had made up my mind that I would live no more, a sort of calm, tranquil spirit of resignation succeeded the dire storm of soul, and I turned my thoughts now to my Saviour and my. God. I went to my desk and wrote, I wrote first to Clara, and after informing her of what I should have done when she received that note. I forgave her, freely and fully. I sealed and directed it, and then wrote one for my hostess. I bade her take all 'my money and my goods. and informed her what I was about; why I was about it, and asked her to explain to my em ployers. These I left upon my desk, and then I took my pistol. I loaded it carefully, with two balls, and then placed it in my bosom. It was now near midnight. I glided noise lessly from the house, and when I reached the street I made my way towards the. river, which I reached at the end of half an hour. I then turned from the road and moved on along the river's bank until I had reached a small grove of chestnut•trees, where pie-nies were sometimes held. It was a beaßtiful place, and I had se lected it as the spot where I would die. The night was as calm and mild as the breath of a sleeping child, and the stars twinkled in the clouille4 vault. I gazed up into the heav ens,l and th stars seemed to look kindly upon mo, and I p yed that my soul might soon he wending its way along the track which they lighted np A> the feet of the redeemed. I felt no doubt hitching Ow work I had resolved to do—not one particle. I was calmly. hopefully resolved, andupon-my knees I prayed that God would not set this last act of my mortal life down'against me. for I only hoped to be with Ilia, whet% (he dark griefs of earth could be washed cm yeforever. Then I at to my feet and drew the pistol from my b.son. One more word Of prayer a simple ej dilation for God to save me to Him self—and I raised the death-servant to my tem- plo. At t at moment, befiire I could consum mate the ecd, I heard the brushing of feet close behir me, followed on he instant by a low cry. turned, and saw a female form close by my sid . " Who art thou ?" I quickly asked, moving back a pace, for fea he might grasp the pis tol from um . . She gazed upon me s Me moments before an swering, dnd then she s 'd, in a low, tremulous tone.— " Have you come hero to destroy yourself ?" " Why do you ask ?" I said. " Because you had a pistol at your temple when I first saw you. But, fear not, sir, for I have come on the same errand. Had you not stood in my way I should now have been in the calm rest of the deep, dark waters of the river. Oh !I do not think God will blame me He will look kindly upon the poor orphan whose only crime was that she sought the r epose of death for a broken, bleeding heart !" • I now recognized the female as a young girl who had been Working for a family in the town, and whose name was Lizzie Meredith. Artd•,- strange enough, too, I remenibered•to. have seen her on several occasions with James Rawson ! SG was a lovely, girl, not more than eighteen ; mild and gentle, • and as modest as the first opening•of the blush rose. I moved nearer to her, and .whilea strange emotion wont whirling through my soul, I spokb4 " Lady," I said, " 'whoa strange fate . has thus thrown us together on this occasion I can not determine. idy heart has been crushed and broken, and I had come hither to set all at rest in the arms of death. I have loved—loved with all the . detotion of a heart that never was false —and my love has been turned hack upon it. self a flood of fire and pain. Tho woman into whose keeping I had given the whole hope and joy of my earthly future has proved false and betrayed me. Last night, when I went to see if sho would not love mo again, I found her in the arms of another 9" " You speak of Clara Lotwell 1" the girl . whispered, with a strange shudder. I do," I returned. " And you fbund her in the arms James Raw son 3" she added, still more lowly and tremu lously. • " I did," I replied. A moment wo stood there in silence, and then I moved nearer to Lizzie Meredith's side, and asked her if it was Rawson who had prov ed false to her and she told me yes. I could now see her countenance plainly, and I was moved by the strange sadness of the beauty that dwelt in her features. It was a different beauty from Clara's. It Was a ~calm, pure, heavenly beauty, such as can only .be begotten by a noble generous soul, and a heart all purity anil virtue. From pity I went on to sympa thy ; and from sympathy my soul wandered away in its thoughts to a maze of Strange emo tions. I asked her if she would tell me her story, and with her small white hand upon my arm she told me yes. Then, insensibly her hand fell into my own grasp, and she told me all. She told me how James Rawson had won her love—how he had sworn eternal fidelity—how ho had promised to make her his wife—and how she had given up to him her whole heart. And then she told the he had whispered into her ear thp basest proposition the libertine can uttershe started from his side in terror, and he tried to soothe her fears. Again he whis pered the damning thing, and she burst into tears ; and when he knew-when he was as-. siired—that she wotad die ere she would go tainted to the bridal altar, he left her, and cast her off. She tried to bear up, but her love lied been strong, and her heart could not bear it. As she closed her simple story she burst into tears, had her bead rested upon my bosom.— Instinctively I wound my arms about her, and then for the first time, the light broke in upon me. " Lizzie," I uttered, with all the fervency of a soul just redeemed, " surely God has thus brought us together! Can you not see His hand in the work ? Let us receive the lesson, and profit by it. I had given up my life—you had girtu .up yours. ➢lay we not now open upon a NEW LIFE? Oh ! I feel sure my heart would never turn from thee. Even now it has burst from the thrall of night, and the soft whisper has awakened my soul. As the cho sen ono of our Lord and Master received the message from Heaven when on his way to do the work of death, so have I felt the influence of this strange meeting. Live—live for toe,— and. I will cease to bless and to love dice never !" I cannot explain the strange emotions of that short hour. It seemed a voice from Heaven eh angel's message—and so, to this day, do I regard it. Lizzie returned my gaze, nod while the starlit tears dropped from her long, silken lashes, she told me she Would live ! And, arm in arm, we walked back to the vil lage. I left her at her boarding plane, and then I went to my own. On the next morning I began to recover my wasted strength. and when evening came again. I went to see Lizzie Meredith. She caught toy hand and pressed it to her lips. and told me she hind blessed God an hundred times that I had saved her. We sat down together, and as I gazed into •her faee I could not help wondering that I had never dis covered the marks of Clara's fickelness. Oh, when I came now to see the calm, stt-et purity of the features before me they contrasted strangely with the brilliant, einrveseent beauty of Clara Lotwell. Clara was beantifol, but 'twns not of the soul —'twas not that beauty which conies from the prayerful. trusting spir it. and which wears Ihr a crown above all others of life, the tint's of unsullied. unconquerable vir tue. But such was Lizzie's, and so I loved her. It was no more the wild, ungovernable passion, revelling in castles and whirlwinds ; but 'twas the deep, calm. absorbing love of a soul that had found its mate fur all the times of changing life. In one short month we were married, and the bright sun of peace and joy which arose then upon our pathway has never dimmed. James Rawson became a degraded drunkard, and after committing a number of forgeries he fled from his home, and has not been heard of by'his friends since. • And poor Clara Lotwell ! Sho possessed not Lizzie's stern, purpose of virtue, and she was ruined ! She sleeps in the churchyard, and her child, which lived not to know its own and its mother's shame, lies by her side ! • But see—here comes my Lizzie now. Isn't she a lovely woman ?. Oh, God bless and keep her always. I shotild be very, very sad and unhappy without her. fur she is my light of life—my hope on earth, as God is my hope in Heaven.
