Cora Lee, or the Broken Heart

A sad night it was at Oakwood, the res

the put and pride of her home and acquain-
tanccs, slept the sleep which kuows

Around ber, in by gone days, had clustered.
a circle of friends and acquittances who;
sought an-l cuensnca Her preseuce as an
object of infinite value. She had been '
the belle of the quiet little village of ;
Waynesville, and in all the sports of the:
season, at the evening party, the giddy
dance or merry makings, Cora had in her!
great simplicity and cuchanting beauty, ,
gathered a crowd of admirers and friends, j
But the rose fled from her cheek, and day j
after day, for two long years, her merry '
laugh grew less and less joyous, and less
often did she j.ia the hnppy group in their
fe.tivmes. Death had slowly but surely :
done its work and, unheeding all the efforts
of medical attendants, it hastened to sever ;
from the embrace of kind parents their
sweetest treasure and frm society it choi-'
cest
gem. Nxteen summers had lightly
fanned the brow of Cora, when this grad-
, ual d.cay of j.u ousncss first made its ap-
: pearance ; yet but few knew her disease. !

They all came to the ears of the family of

foes that an engagement then existed
between Cora and himtelf,although nothing
had as yet been mentioned to Mr. Lee on

he was sinning.
A poor beggar boy passed tbe door.
While the boy asked him if he would not
rest, for bc looked weary, and ran to bring
him bread, he heard the tones of joyous i
'
mmsic over him, and then he knew that
heaven spoke approval of the deed in the
tones of the invisible harp.
Again he sported in the fields. Harsh
words were spoken by a playmate, and he '
would have returned the same to him that
spoke them, but the harp sent forth mourn
ful notes, and how could he allow other
thaa kind words to be spoken ? Thc friends
were reconciled, and glad notes came to
him on the air ; for " a soft answer turneth
away wrath "and is not this heaveuly ?
Years passed. He whom the minister -

such a monitor, had well learned that as
he acted good or ill, so its notes sounded,
Bitter trials were before him.

had loved. A sister the dear one cf his
