A certain vague fnsrination, too, perhaps

wiieu it should be concluded. to see the par

AUnut to take part in under nreumslances
so peculiar am) painful, held lier rooted to
the spot. Ft whs in vain, however.that she
listened. Ulten il in the low tones usually
prompted by the solemnity of such a mo
oieiil. Hie words did not reach her ear, and
only an indistinct mnrmtir.swelliiiir vamielv

familiar words nf the com lulling " hene
diction, followed presently by a sound of
lb" slniffliitg of feet. ..and it was evident
that the hrid.ii company was moving down
llie aisle towards die doorway within which
she stood. Impplled partly by an irresisti.
hie iuoiik indefinable curiosity, ami partly
by a sense of awkwardness ami shumo at
being surprised in a situation which seemed
almost an impertinent intrusion, she moved
hasiily forth, her bonnet in die act nf falling
half back from her head, ami before turn',
ing to leave the church, painted for an in
f.Ci'it, almost in the midst of die entrance,
for glance at llie ndva ceil train. In that
momentary pauce. Alice B stood fixed
?P a statue of marble, ami as white and
eolil. A glance revealed every thing to
her, and pressed home so rapid are some
time the mimtiil processes of such intense
rnnmrnts a full uiiiJeist itidino; and feeling
of all its horror The bride was a fair".
blue eyed young creature looking upwaid.
with a countenance all flooded with light,
into the face of a (all and noble looking
voting man, who walued hy her side with
a proud step, and a coltl brightness of
triumph and exultation in his eye, with her
still ungloved hand in his. The btidegrnom
was Edward Fletcher. This is no fiction,
hut simple font, familiar doubtless 1o the
memory of not a few still living.
I should have mentioned before, that
about half an hour after Alice departure,
a letter had been placed in Sir WilmiuV
bands, strict injunciion having been given
bv the messenger who brought it to the
Hall, tliEt it should be delivered immediate
ly, fmwprpr the Baronet might he engaged.
It ran, a. fnllowii :
"Mr. Edward Flptcher presents bis com
pliments to Sir Wilmot B arid his son.
congratulating them on ilta happy event of
this day. begs leave to invite them, at the
parish church ol iM . at the hour of noon
of this morning, to a wedjing, from which
notwithstanding the unpleasant circumstan
ces under which )ie last parled from them,
ho should greatly regret their ahsence. To
savp Sir Wiimnt lite delay and trouble of
speking Miss Alice, he would inform him
that she has preferred to precede them, ha
ving taken a ehniso furnished hy Mr.Fletch
er. in the lane by the eastern gate of the
park ; a spot marked by two previous
pvpnts namely, his kind ejection by the
naniH ol Mr wiinioffl grooms wIipii in a
state nf insensibility, and a subsequent in
terview with Miss Alice, ihree days there
after, at which she did not scorn lo promise
to bestow her fair hand, with all the btoad
estates of which she is heiress in Iipt moth
er's right, on the humble faimer'g son
whom her father thought worthy of no bet
ter reltirn, for the lives of Ins two children,
Ihan tnsnlt, outrage, and a blow." '
It is needless to describe the rago of Sit
Wilmot and Geoige on tho perusal of this
letrihlp Ipiipi. To verify it so far as re
garded Alice to spring on the best and
fleetest blood that his stable afforded, order
ing n servant to follow with a travelling
carnagp was but the work of a few min
utes. To reach ibe place lo which he
wan ko tauntingly in'i.'d. in time to pre
vent the reremony. he knew to he next to
impossible. He saw that Fletcher had o
perfectly combined his plans, that bn was
epec:icd to arrive only to wi'ness the com
pletion of Ins own humiliation, anil the tri
umph of his now hated enemy, who would
then be placed beyond the reach of ven
geance by the protection of Alice as his
wife.
Still trusting to the chanens of delay or
hindrance, and to the speed and bottom of
the horses they bestrode, the.v thundered
over the road, followed hy n single groom,
and hoped vet to succerd in averting tho
threatened tuin and despair.
But in return. Alice stootl. as I before
said, her face blanched to the hue of death,
her eyes fixed in a glasv stare, and her
whole fnine as molionle-n as though struck
instmiianeouslv with the frozen spell of
catalepsy Edward enntinued to lead his
bride steadily onwaril, though there was
some movement of surprise at tho sudden
strangeness of thij nil-white apparition,
atanutng in tho very middle ol Hie entrance,!
between them and the light of the nnen ski
without. Tho thought erossed the mind of
most present, that it was some maniac that
had escaped from their keepers, and had
been attracted by the event of the wedding
and the open door of the church. She tir
red tint though they app-oached within two
or three paces of her, when Edward, bow
ing low and with a smile, such as demons
may smile, saluted her with 'we thauR
youMiss Alice, fur your kindness in com
ing thus, and all unattended, to witness our
wedding, and only regret that you seem to
have been a few miutitfs too late. We
would beg, too.thu kindness of being suffer
ed to paf.'
'I'he sound of his voice seemed lo break
the spell of the deathly trance whirh hail
locked her scnes and airested the current
of her life blood. Gasping quick and pain
folly, as though for the breath which was
leaving her. the red tide rushing back from
the heart, about which it seemed to have
retreated, almost empurpled her whole face;
she ireinbled as though about to 4sink lo

mil husky whisper only one word. Ed.
wariU'sUe fe I forward, and was saved
Irom falling quite to the around, on thp
siony flagjjng where thev stood, only by
neiiig caught in the arms of her lovei, now
0ie husband of another bride. Without
trusting himself with another glance at his
lifeless biirihni, ihelauer hastily pliced her
in those nf her maul, hiddiiu' her lend her
for a few moments, when her f-oh-r would

following his guidance, he nassed as before
out of the church.
He reached the gale of the church vard.
at whieh was still drawn up the chaise" into
which he was about to hand his bride, just
in time to meet the expected arrival of the
other guests he invited to this ill-omened
marriage, Noihttig would have induced
him to go before their arriv. The Baro
net witnessing the issuing of the bridal
train from the porch of the church, with
another bride hanging on Fletcher's arm
than the one lie had expected tj find, and
setting no appearance of Alice, was so be
wililered as scarcely to have any distinct

nounling. at the g-ilp. stairing half vacautlv
it what he saw, till Edward addressed hiin,
with a hiner mockery of pi lileness.
I am too happy. Sir Wilmot, at the f.i
vor of your presence. mo much honored
that you should have ridden so far and so
fast to witness the wedding nf a farmer's
son, a poor yeoman, sir, of England. Yon
are perhaps disappointed, sir. in the bride
(sillier me to make known my sweel cou

Htm the honor ol an al tance with your
family ; and you will find Miss Alice 'tis
a pity Sir Wilmot, that 6he should have
taken the pains of coming so far for noth
ing you will find Miss "Alice within the
church, and I fear she somewhat needs
your presence.'
Bowing with a studiedly scornful court
esy.'he moved forward, and placed his
bride within tho chaise, handing forth at
the same lime to the enraged old Bjiouct,
as a token full of silent significance, the
shawl which Alice had left in it.
' Scoundrel ! we will settle this account
another lime !" was all that Sir Wilmot
was able lo utter, as he Shrew himself from
his horso, alarmed by what he had heard
of Alice, and hastened forward into iho
church
With your gray hairs, Sir Wilmol,'
was the prompt reply, 'I can have no otlmr
account to settle ihan is now suflicienlly
discharged; hut if you, sir,' to Georgp,
'having anything farther with me, either on
yot)r account or that of your father, I need
not exptess the gratification with which 1
shall be only anxious to afford you every
facility for such a purpose.,
Depend upon it, infernal villain, thai
every account 'villi you shall be fully set-
tied, the latter answered, as ho hastily fol
lowed his faiher, comparatively indifFeteut
tit any other prebeni object ihan llie care of
his sister.
Edward Fletcher bowed a courteous fare
well lo his oilier guests composing his wed
ding train; and without bestowing on them
any explanation of all the strange scene
they had witnessed, quickly entered the
chaise, which, as before, drove rapidly off
Dark, stern, silenl with his eyes fixed on
