" But if yo forgive not men their trotmattvos, noit
or will your Vathor forgive your trotTab.o,"
The March night had darkened down the
little New England i village of Ashdal
was a pretty place in summer, lyin
two hills, on whose summit the a.sii •
lifted their green arms to the sky ail .1,
!,nix, bright days, as if imploring a ben.,,
nun, or spread out lovingly over the whiul
houses nestled round the one church in the
vale below.
But to night it wore a different aspect.—
A. storm upon the hills. A little snow and
hail was borne upon its wings, but not
much. Chiefly it was the force of rushing
winds; shaking the leafless ash trees, hurt
ing against closed windows; swinging th,
boll in the old church tower, till it g.ive
forth now and then a dirge like peal, us ii
the dead were tolling their own requiems. .
Many homes there were where the wild
scene without seemed but to heighten
by the force .1 contrast, the blessed cal,
tvithio— hurtles where ill tan slept. warm ana
still, through the twilight, in the sott hush
of mother bosxus, and happy Children gath
ered round the knee of sonic litther or
grandsire, to hear again sonic simple story;
or thoughtful ones looked into the tire, and
fashioned from the embers brave castles, in
which the; were td dwell in the coin n g .
time, with over* all the sunshine 0. youth
and hope. Twenty years from now they
look again into the embers, and see these
fair castles, in which they had never come
to abide, with rained windows and blacken
ed walls—
" The twilight memory over all,
IBM
And the deed silence of death within."
But in one house no stories Were told to
gladly listenining ears—nu soft evening
hymn hushed slumbering babes to rest—
no children's eager eyeslouked into the em,
hers. It was the stateliest house, by far, in
the little village—a lofty mansion, gleaming
white through the trees, with the rout sot ,
ported by massive pillars. Nowher: d d the
evening fire burn brighter, but into it look
ed only two only people worn and sorroWful,
with the shadows of g rief upon their shriv
elled fitoes—two who had forgotten lung
ago, their youth's fair castles - who looked
back over waste fields of memory, where not
even setting sun ra.o glided the monu
ments built to their dead hopes.
They. sat there silently. They had sat
silently ever pince the darkness gathered.
The lofty, well furniAcd-room was lighted
only by the wood fire's glow, and in the
corners strange shadows seemed to gather,
with beckoning hands and white brows
gleaming spectrally through the darkness.—
Toward them now and then, the wife look
ed with anxious gaze; - then tweed back
agitin toward the fire, and clasped her hands
over the heart that had learned through
many trials the hard lesson of patience.
Judge Howard was a stern se,f contained
roam In• his native town, where he had
passed all his life, none stood higher in
public esteem. Toward the poor he was
libet al—toward his neihbors just and friend
ly; yet, for all that, he was a hard nj,
whose will was iron, whose habits were
granite. His wife had come to know this,
even in her honey-moon. The knowledge
was endorsed by her sad, waiting face, and
her restrained manners.
His daughter Caroline,. his only child,
had learned it early, and her father became
to her almost as much an object of fear as
