for the suffering of want! Machi4 who
had been delivered over to abundance
and luxury, cast them from her like
broken fetters, itud rushed f.rward into
the embrace's of her old companion and
foster-mother—Poverty. This was the
spot where she had- danced and sung,
wept and prayed; where she had been
hungry and cold and fall of care, and
bad been necessary to the ;eiistence of
those f,be loved. : Here was where she .
bad .%iatched, .half credulous, for the
fairie3 among the rock's; and, wholly
believing, beheld with delight the pro:
c,srion of glorified beings in the heav
ens. This was the - homedher passion
ate devotion; the strait hard - bed from
which she could endure to yield up her
mortid breath.
Only the eagles, and whatever super
natural beings had been larking -near,
heard the clamor of wild cries that arose
in the isolated cabin at sight of her.
"Mother, there is something beantifnl
coming that looks like Machal" cried
one of • the little sisters.
bt dead, and coming from heaven to see
nal" And they all stood solemnly in
the doorway to
. watch the approach of
the apparition. Bat when Macha's liv
ing lips spoke to them, and her ont-
stretched hands touched them, then
arose such cries as the rocks gave back.
The advent of mercy was not an hour
to semi to bring the color of life back
to pinched faces, and to put light on
the fireless hearth. A long battle with
hunger and cold must soon have dole
fully ended had not succor arrived.
Rains had drenched the turf, and the
sun had not shone to dry it; . and. the
potatoes ,had been washed out- of the
earth. Macha had known how it would
be, though her husband refused to be
lieve in the tale. Who will take oil
from the flinty atone, or honey out of
the rock? .The very birds will not live
in this barren world. Why should man
eling to it with such an unaccountable
lovo2
When Macha, having ministered to
their bodily wants and comforted their
hearts :with her love, lay down that
night on the old familiar bed of straw,
ehelad time to remember the husband
from before whose angry face she had
fled. "He will neyei love me more,"
thought she; "he mill never come to
seek me again." H.lie tried to comfort
herself with the 'thought that she was
still the Mucha of - old, and would work
for her people; but. the sears poured
from her eyes, and .her paisionate heart
was not satisfied yet.
Next day she sent about her work in
Ler old dress, and tried to forget that
she had ever been away from her ,home.
Painfully she saw the misery and the
squalor of it, and planned such little
improvements as might . lie within her
reach. But'
i soft - had spoiled
Machu for privation and toil. Hunger
_afflicted her, and her limbs were wrung
with cold; she had confer back to a state
of things with which she wan no longei
fit to 'strive. Wandering round the 'dark
water, she could not now feel an in
terest in "him who lives down in the
lake;" the "living man" whom she hid
displeased and forsaken,' whom she had
loved and made unhappy, absorbed all
the dreams of: her jmagination. Even
the blessed spirits, 'the golden cloud
shrines moving across the • sky, had be
come cold abstractions to her whose
eyes were always looking vainly for one
absent human form.
Her experience of better things; her
natural good taste, and the money she
had brought with her enabled .her to
cooky the projected improvements in
her home; yet, when they were made,
she bad no pleasure in beholding them.
They had cost her too dear to have the
power of giving her any delight. In
satisfying the fidelity of her nature on
4
one aide, she had but inflicted a mortal
wound upon it on the other. The blue
pinched look 6f hunger had gone from
her mother's face, the stars were 110
longer visible - through the roof; yet,
lying there - at. night, and thinking
about it all. Machu felt that the pinch
of cold and hunger had settled on her
own heart, and that the stars of love
and possible happiness were forever
shut -out from her life. A hundred
times a day she made, in -imagination,
impassioned acts of love and sorrow,
and appeals for pardon at her husband's
knees. In fancy she uttered axplana
' tions to'him, that in reality wbnld have
been impossible to her tongue. And
she was too shy and too timid to at
tempt to write to him: -
"When a wife leaves a husband,"
thought Mucha, "of course he will not
want her any more.'! She blamed no
cue but herself. "libebaved badly to
my mother in leaving her at first," she
reflected, "and badly to my husband in
running away against-lia' will. There
'must be a twist in me somewhere; for I
know I did not want to do wrong."
Sorrow-stricken, remorseful, perplexed,
she lived through the long uneventfril
days and nights. The strength ebbed
away from her limbs, the light from
her eyes. She made no complaint, for
she was willing to endure bravely in ex
piation of the wilfulness of her sins.
Her one burning desire was to see her
husband before she died; yet so self
condemned did she stand, she could not
summon courage to implore of him to
Come.
Sir Humphrey sat at home in the
depths of what may be truly called a
sulk. He had more than half forgiven
his wilLnl wife, and was ready, to re
ceive her, should she ask to return.
He was willing to go and fetch her as
soon as she should send for him; and it
is not wonderful that he was at fault as
to her motives and conduct, for her na
ture bad always been a riddle to him.
Why could she not write and tell him
where she was? : That much he had a
right to expect from her. He was quite
resolved not ,to go in search of her—not
to attempt - - to communicate with her till
her penitent cry should be heard, and
till her love shoold make her ask to be
taken back to his home. He told all
whe required to:know that lasdy Gilbert
was paying a visit in her native land,
and then sat in his loneliness awaiting
some sign.
It was only a few Weeks, 'lifter, all,
since she had loft him and returned to
her mountains, but many a heart has
been broken in a far shorter time. The
woman was ern who in other circum
stances would : have made the happiness
and well-bring ofthive ahe loved; but
divided duty and fidelity rent her , asuti
der, the ardor and tenderness of her
nature consumPd her, and all the pow
ers within her wxought toward , tragedy
and ddatb.
One : evening Mucha eat at The cabin
door,-thinking of her husband, owning
her trespasses, and watching the mu set
redly behind the, mountain-peaks, the
sun that never was to rise for her again.
That night she turned ,her eyes on hei
old brown crucifix , which Was to her as
the passport to that region where the
weary are at rest. She was not so glad
to go as she might have been had she
never met any one while walking in her
girlish innocence round the giargin of
the lake. "Tell him I was sorry," were
the last words she whispered in her
mother's ear.
The sign that Sir Hnmpbery waited
for came at last in the shape of a scrawl•
e I letter, with an unpronouncaule name
on the postmark. "Come to the moun
tain to st , e rine son," it said; "Macha,
the mother, is dead."
That sorrow is long past now. i Sir
Humphery is married to a more suitable
wile, and life has gone pleasantly with
him. Hie eldest son has dacha's eyes,
with often a guile, sad, unaccountable
expression in them; which in the midst
of mirth, iwill make his father start and
sigh, while the words of the poor peat
aet mother on the mountains will come
ringing back ears:. "'Tie only
the heart that is too strong in her; and
its ill torlove a stranger that must part

like an oasis in the midst of the desert,where
