\lJontinued from Ist pagr.~\ maul Ag if good furtuno mast be heaped upon nie, after being *•? lomr with held, I learned that I was the heir to thirty thousand dollars, which my father, dying in California, had willed to mc, should I be discovered among the livitg. In that will he expressed bis love for my mother, solemnly asserting that be would ?if>t hive "married her. had be not beard that his first wife, whom he hated, was (lead the year before, He that as it may, he has gone to that bKr where the truth is made apparent. V THE LAST BI.COME FIRST. A very brief time after this important occurrence found me in Wardville. 1 had heard that Evelyn had discarded Willis (ireen, (he was too young for her now,) and was about to be married to a leading Philadelphia!), a widower, who bad eo_ue to the village on business con nected with cotton. 1 would not believe it. "Cotton," "money," "widowers," "distinguished positi'm"—what bad they to do with so beautiful aud proud a crea ture, whose every thought should be a romance ? i would, at leaßt strive gal nntly for the prize. So 1 made baste to Wardville. ft was a rosy evening in the la t of May that. 1 approached the honse of the Wards, to which I had been invited by the cot ton factor, who had called on me at t'le hotel, ignoring my past in view of my present. The sun bad sunk from view, but his warm light still deluged the gar den wbich lay at one side, a spot of per fume and bloom, as 1 walked up the ave nue leading to the portico. L >oking at this garden with bi ating heart, to calm myself with its quiet, 1 saw a young la dy, in a white dress, sitting in a little temple, looking at the western sky. Was it Evelyn? Ves! My heart throbbed audibly ; then a sudden impulse overcome me. I walked quickly along the garden path to the entrance of the temple. Heal ing my step, she turned. More beauti ful than everthe same deep-blue eyes, and waves of glistening hair ! —not a year older—as fresh, as lovely, and (so it ■seemed) more gentle and gracious than of old. The chilling hauteur had all melted from her deportment. Oh, joy ! the rosy smile and blush which rippled over her face, sent the < elicious foretaste of my happiness to my eager soul. "Mr. Ballaert. now, not Maurice," sho said, very suit and low, holding out her hand, aud looking on the ground. T took her hand ; I kissed it thrice, a dozen times; it was' not withdrawn. "Do not be so kind to me," I said, "or I shall not have the strength lo be wise. I have loved you so long—somanyyeais —bo deoply, that your first smile will bring my love down in a torrent to over whelm you." 1 was not looking at her now, for 1 had sunk to my knees, and had my face bowed upon her hands. "Kvc— lyn, do 1 dare hope that you are listening to me ?" There was an effort to withdraw the hands ; I looked up; her face was pale, and the tears were running down her cheeks. "It is not Evelyn," she arid, "it is 'little (iracie.' Did you not know mo ?" 1 sprung up, looking liko a fool, I daro say. • "l)(d you not know that Evolyn is to lie married to-morrow ?" Then, when 1 did not answer, with a treable of tho lip "1 am sorry for you, Maurice; indeed I aoi." .But, I was not sorry for myself. 1 stood a step or two apart, uiy face turned away. The pain, the despair pictured upt'ii it,l could not endure should be read even by hose soft eyes. 1 did not heed, 1 scarcely heard those sweet ,utisel tish words—' Lam sorry for you, Maur ice; indeed, iudced I am." Those other words : "Evelyn is to bo married to-mor vow," ruug in my ears until everything grew dark about me. Presently I heard voices and laughter. Qay, rippling tones, which I knew too well, sounded in the direction of the house. I looked, anu .-aw Evelyn step ping from an open window into the gar den, followed by the man who was to be come her husband on the morrow. He was bald, fat, "and forty"—but he had the air of a mau of the world, and of a dealer in cotton. Evelyn seemed perfect ly couteuted with him. as sh« hung upon his arm, smiling at his remarks. 'ihey came directly toward the sum mer houso. Some way—l a not ex plain it to myself—l grewcooi, and gath ered all my faculties about me a* they approached. I could not only criticise the lover but the beloved. Kvelyn had ohauged. 6bo was older, and the baugh tiness, the icorldineu, had-- increased ; thero was someihiug almost supercilious in her smile ; and 1 knew that her heart was more engaged with the bridal fan fies, and the city syleqdors about to fol low. than wiih the sucredness, the awe, tho joy of her new position. As they slowly sauutcred along, talk ing of some arrangement for the morrow, my eyes turned from them to the young girl on the bench. She was making a great effort to put the trouble out of her face, but, as I regarded her, a burning blush swept over cheek and brow At sight of that I began to realize the position which my rash avowal had placed her. Supposing my declaration Addressed to herself, she had allowed me to sec that it would not have been dis- tasteful ; and HOST, a terrible Hhame de- voured her. Ilow beautiful she looked in that uiniden shame ! My heart was touched with a pity as deep as that which she had avowed for me. And when hv elyn came up, and recognized me (in my new position,) with a warmth she had never before shown, even going so far in her weloouio as to declare 1 was just' tho one she wanted to pair off with a pretty girl as an attendant at the wedding, a revulsion, ss curious &sit was sudden and - abidding, took place in me. Explain it who may, it was nevertheless true, that in that hour my old passion was as com pletely obliterated as U' it never had been, it 112 and there arose before u»y mental vision % a imcces. i>u of rast scenes, now colored with the present feeling of distrust, oon —uluioatjjwte. My mnjthooti had ■»>wrted itaolf OT»r my »elf-re«peet—my pride, my power over circumstances as serted itself in th it one moment, and I confronted the cotton-bought beauty aa one who had fully triumphed over a foe too insignificant for my anger. Hut, even as I stood there before the worldly woman t the 'vision, as it were, lifted away the curtin from my own past what never before had impressed me.— Graeie, little Graoie, seokiug to soothe me in my boyish mortification—beside me in my hour of agony, at uiy mother's death-bed—waving me farewell when I started out in the journey of life ! Gra de, the ever true, ever gentle, ever good. Gracie, first to understand mc —the last to leave me. Gracie, who, through all the long years, had been true to my mem ory—faithful to her own pure impulses; (or, had she not, in that hour, avowed all? The vision passed like a flash, but it was enough to teach me a new truth.— An almost inexpressible tenderness—a yearning to atone for a great wrong com mitted, filled my heart; and a sudden res olution prompted me to accept the Invita tion to stand as eighth groomsman. My manner was that of one who had won in n life-and death contest —composed, de liberate; while, within, my heart was ter ribly, deeply moved. Tbe Invert passld on, leaving us alone. Gracie arose to go., so heavily burdened with her confusion and pain as to make my eyes fill with tears. "l>arling Gnrcie—angel Gracie!" The words were uttered hy my lips in a tone which seemed to issue from the very heart's centre, for they thrilled and star tled mo by their intense fervor. Gracie paused like one in a dream.— She gazed intently for a moment into my tar dimmed eyes, then the crimson all left her face, and she became aa pale as one terror-stricken. "Gracie, tlarlinir —you who have loved me so long and so truly—whom I have worshiped, aud yet. until this moment, kuew it not —Gracie, gentle, pure and good—l lay at your feet the holiest love it is in my inmost soul to offer. Gracie, will you come here to night and permit me to tell you of the love I hold for you —for you—for you !" I could say no more. The pallor which overspread her laco as my words came forth, passed away, and the rich crimson came in its stead—but only for a moment, as if some sudden pang had couie to ter rify her tiuiid love again, and she became pale once more— oh, how pule ! Clasping her hands over her bosom as if to still its terrible throbbing, she re treated backward from the temple. I'aus iug a moment in its shadow she sobbed : "Maurice, come to night, but oh, do not come to repeat such words as have just passed your lips, for I know—l know it never can be—never can be !" and she lied up the walk toward the house as it pursued. She was not pursued, save by my troub led thoughts. The agony imprinted on her fair, pure lace w s too real, too deso lating to give me much peaco during tho remaining hour<jof that most mom n ou s i.f Oayt-. ll< w the hours jaste 1 n. vcr knew. Only I well remember the keen but weighty pain which opprewed my heart, that seemed like a heart of lead aud a heart of (ire. Night found me there, but not until the shadows had deepened so as to reuder the lines stamp ed upon my face invisible to her before, whom 1 was to bow in supplication aud in worship. 1 entered the temple to find Gracie al ready there. I moved to her side, took her trembling hand in mine, and—and— well 1 don't know what occurred; but whon ton o'clock catue wo both stood outside the temple, band locked in hand, as deeply, reverently happy as two hu man hearts could be. "Good night, uiy Gracie. and may good angels keep you,'' I said, imprinting the betr thai kiss upon her upturned fore head. There was excitement over the wed ding, uext day, in the Ward mansion; in fact, there was a sensation, for there were two weddings, <>n« of which was so un expected as to amaze even the minister. Mr. Ward alone knew of the arrange ment. lor, hand lu baud, that morning, (iracie and myself had asked his forgive ness and consent to our marriage on that very day.and, not averse to the ''joke.' a* he termed it, it was all easily all ar ranged. t iracie became my wife in right good earnest, and thai, was no joke; or, if a joke, one which 1 may wish may be te peated by every single man in the land, until all the pure and good women are won. Often and iften I say, when looking out from my own experience, upon the ways of wedlock : "Alas, that so many marry,the wordly. and overlook tho richness of a love that is not at all worldly!"
