=aiVwUsE_. - A. NIGHT OF- YEABS. ==l Some forty.years Mace, in 'the interior of -my"r beautiful native State, New York, lived the father of our Itenfine, an honest' and respectable far mer. He had but two children--Lucy, a noble girl of nineteen, and Ellen, a year or two younger. 'lle first named .was winningly, rather than strikingly beautiful. Under a manner observable :for he seriousness, and a nunlike seren ity, were colicealed an impassioned ort tare, and a heart of the deepest capacity for loriag. She wad remarkable from Ler earliest childhood for a voice tit thrilling and haunting sweetness. Ellen Dutton was the brilliant anti-; podes -of her sister; a •born beauty." sehose prerogative of. prettiness was to have her irresponsible od n way. in all things,. and at all time.: An indulgent father, a weak mother, and a.. idolizing sister, had all unconsciously contributed ; to the ruin of a nature out at the first re• mutable for strength gr generosity. Where in all God's creatures is heart leanness so seemingly unnatural—is ad'. rashness so detestable, 23 io a beautiful woman! Lucy possessed a fine intellect, and :is her .parents were well reared New Eng lenders, she and her sister were far bet ter educated than other girls of her eta :ion, in that then half nettled palsion of the country. lo Mose days, inany enga ged in school-teaching, frow the honor and - pleasure which it afforded, rather than from necessity. Thus. a few months previous to the commencement our sketch, Lucy Dentin left fur the 'first time hitr fire-side circle. to take charge of a school, some twe n ty n ah.,, • - from her %naive town. • Fur some while her lettere home were -expressive only of the happy content meat whieb,sprang from the conscious mess or active usefulness; of receiving. while imparting good. But anon there came a change ; then were those records tow-home characterized by fitful gaiety, err dieary sadness; indefinable hopes and (ears seemed striving for supremacy in the writer's troubled little heart. Lucy , laved; but scarcely acknowledged it to • , ; herself, while she knew not that'she was loved ; 'so, fora time, that beautiful sec. and-birth of woman'a nature was like .warm sunrise struggling with !be cold • 'mists of morning. But one day brought a letter whielt could not soon be lorgotten in the home of the absent one—a letter traced by a hand that trembled in sympathy with a heart tumultuous with happiness. Lucy had -been wooed and won, and she but wall - her parents' approval of her cWe, to become the betrothed of young a man of excellent fam ily and standing in the town where she a had been teaching. The. father and me. • ther accorded their /sanction with many blessings, 'and Lticy'e next letter prom ised a speedy visit from the lovers. To such- natured as Lucy's what. 3.1 absoibing, and yet what a revealing of self is a first passion—what a prodigaiity Of giving, what an incalculable wealth of teceising--what a breaking, up is there of the deep waters of the soul, and how heaven descends in a sudden star-show • , lerI er upon life! If there in a season when an angel may look with totem" and-lest- I'M interest upon her mortal sister, 'tie when she beholds her heart pass from the bud-like innocence and freshneis of girlhood, and taking ; to its very core the fervid light of lore; glow and crimson into perfect womanhood. At lait the plighted loders came, and welcomes and festivitiea awaited then,. ' W—.- gave entire satisfaction to father, mother, and even to the exacting "beauty." He was a handsome man, with some pretensions to fashion but in manner, and apparently in character, the opposite of his betrothed. It was decided that Lucy should not .again leave home.till after her marnage, which, at the request-of the ardent lover, sin to be celebrated within two months. and on the coming birthday of the bride. It Was therefore arranged that Ellen ' should, return with Mr. W—, to ' to take charge of her sister's school fo r die remainder of the tenni : - I.The bridal birth-day had come. ti • had been ushered in by a May-morning - of surpassing.lavelinees—the busy boors had worn a•vay, and now it was eialt • sunset, and neither the bridegroom, nor ' Ellen, the first bride's maid, had appear ed. Yet, in her neat hum chamber Lucy, nothing doubting, nothing fearing. She was already clad in a simple white st muslin , .and her . few bridal adarnments • lay on the table beside her. Maria AI hip, her second bride's maid; a bright. eyed, affectionate hearted girl ? her cis.- sew friend from childhood, was arrangin g to-a more graceful fall, the wealth o!' light ringlets which *rept her ann.: y the anxious inquiries of to, e4tsp , anion, respecting the absent one,. Lucy over smiled quietly and replied,— "Oh, So a mething has happened to de• min them'awhile—We heard -from theta , the other day,-and all was well. They will be here brand -by, neverfear." Evening came, She guests 'were all as sembled,. and yet the "bridegroom tar ried." There wore whispenags, am enities, and wonderings, and tt shadow in , anxiety occasionally passed CIYET the fair'face Of the bride elect. At last; carriage drove rather slowly to the door. "They ate come!" cried' many voices, and the next moment the belated bride 'groom and Ellett entered. In reply to the hurried and confused inquiries of all -'"around him, Mr. W--s- muttered some ''thing about •• unavoidable delay," and '."stepping to the sideboard, tossed off a glass of wine, another, and another.- - The company stood silent with amaze- ' ment: Finally a rough old , farmer. de claimed, !'Better late than never, young : - manao lead out the bride." W—,strode hastily across the room, placed himself by Ellen, and took her • - hand in his! Then, without daring to meet the eye of any about him, he said : "I wish to make an explanation—l am under the painful necessny--that - is, have the pleasure to announce that I ma already married. , The lady whom I hold by the hand is my wife !" Then tuning its an apologetical man ' trier to -Mr. and Mrs. Dutton, be added, l I found that I bad never loved until I knell' your second daughter!" And Lucy ! She heard all with strange calmness, then walked steadily forward and confronted her betrayers! Terrible as pale Nemesis herself, she stood before them, and her look pierced, like a keen, cold blade into their false - hearts. As though to assure herself of the dread reality of the vision, she laid her hand on Ellen's shoulder, and let it ' glide down har.,,wm—but she touched not Edwin. As those cold fingers ir.• hem, the unhappy wife first gazed it, into her sister's face; and as ahe TIFIrL ...I the gliastly Pallor of her cheek, the lit ted nostril, the quivering lip, and the in tensely mournful eyes, she covered her own face with her hands, and burst 'wo man, while the' young husband, awed the tenibleailence of her he had wron.2- .ad gasped.' for breath,, end staggered back against the wall.; - Then Lucy claiping her hands on her forehead, fir gave voice to her tinguiell anchtlempau ohs femfal cry, which could but ring 1,, dt.
