GIIIIRDED SECRETS.
WHAT 'woman is there that confesses not td.
the possession of a guarded secret? School
girls have their cherished mysteries; but these
pass froni mouth to mouth, till, like the witch
es at"seventh hand," all their' magic dies
out. It is not of such wo would speak, but
of that sterner and more stubborn secret
which,is the life in life, which occupies the
soul's inner and most secret chamber, and is
the heartitt holy of holies ;.a joy, or a dread,
or a pang—most commonly the last—through
life; a thing that weaves itself, with more or
less intensity, into every act of our 'daily
struggle on earth; is with us when we rise to
a new sun, and lies down with us in the dark
ness; our accompanying shadow, go whore
we may, and do what we will; that mocks us
when wo smile, counterfeits all our:agonies;
and to lose which would be something like
that loss of soul pictured in the well known
German legend.. That the constant presence
of our secret within us and around us has its
meaning for good, who shall doubt? Our
human woes would not be allotted to us—ny,
oven as our daily bread—were they not ne
cossarylo .the
. nourishment of a higher life
than that which perplexes us bore. Our
wandering spirits, over lost and restless, must,
like the fabled children in the wood, gather
their food from off the thorns. There is, in
truth, no teaching lido the teaching of a greta
and master sorrow.
There are few places filled with more start
ling materials for tberomancist than the much
neglected secret' (Waiver. Secret passages,
hidden vaults, tapestry veiled doors,
.traps
lending downwards through the floor, and es
capes opening upward through Alm skylight,
we have in abundance; but the narrow and
apparently insignificant receptacle that holds
within it, unseen by vulgnekres, the hoarded
secret of a heart and of a lifetimo—nay, per
haps more=the darkening presence of a
household, the "skeleton behind the door,"
seems altogether to have escaped the vigilant
research of the curious. Relics—some saint
ed, some profane enough—hung visibly about
our very doors. We are all familiar with
relics of various kinds, from the sentimental
lover's hair filled locket down to the religiously
guarded " heart of Montrose." , Some people
aro essentially relic lovers, and will make far
off pilgrimages for' the bare sight of an iron .
belt or a knotted cord vouched for as the (mi
tigatory badge of some mouldered monk, and
feel a strange gratification in being permitted
toliss the duet from the worn stones trodden
by the feet of those nvhose once unhonored
grave centuries have sine() hallowed into
something akin to the divine. From the mys
tic to the real hi ti wide bound, and few oaro
to take, the' leap. But, leaving to the star
gazer his more dazzling horizon, let us gather
round us for a brief space the lowlier interests
of humanity ; lot us look with .reverent eyed
into the secret drawer.
Itligrandmother had an old fashioned cab
inet, portioned out, itsirns the method of con
structing sucli , ootnruotlitics in. her day, into
sundry small shelves, drawers, and odd covered
boat; The centre compartment of this same
old chest opened like a door, having look - and
key, and within was a long slidieg, drawer,
,occupying the entire
: depth of the cabinet.
That this drawer something vary precious
was , Marini,- all her children knew. None,
however, dared .'to pry into_ their Mother's
guarded secret. ,Ilor husband, it was
. moro•
than suspected, could have thrown sot light
ort,the matter;,but,he was never known , to do
eo, and silence rested upon the, unknown oe

mother's death. But when the cold,herld eriai

life.has passed; and when the palsied foot,
'lying stark. in its ditsti dwelling, 'so more

quake. Or it may be that hands more tender
deal in greater reverence with the departed
spirit's oast off apparel, hoisting timed for
the sleeper's sake those forsaken relics wept
and prayed over by the waking eyes that are
never more to weep and pray - on this earth
-In the present ease, it was so. - :The con
tents of the secret drawer - wore committed to,
the flames, in aceprdanse - witOte expressed
Wish. of the dying. But- some tow or other
the secret oozed out. It .would• appear that,
like most other grandmothers, mine had early
in life bad a love affair—as that deepest strik
ing.ef all woman's experiences is somewhat
irreverently termed. It was the did story:
the Man she loved went abroad without having
spoken just that one 'word for which her soul
thirsted, and which, nevertheless, bad found
a thousand other utterances . scarcely to be
mistaken. For years there was a dreary
silence between the two. Then came my
grandfather, with his °moat courtship. Un
der the feeling that elie_4tas--not-justifiedLin
cherishing a predilectioii so !apparently num
'ended to by-the earliest object of bar affec
tion, she yielded, afterri prolonged struggle,
to my grandfffther's suit. .No sooner, howev
er, was she formally engaged to him, than
there came a letter in the. old,unforgetten
handwriting! 0, you who have ever listened
with beating hearts for the:postmen's knock,
fully prepared for all it might bring, think for
ono moment how the corning of this letter,
long even unhoped for, And now too late,
knocked at the heart of her who received it!
Now, my grandmother had a conscience, and
a more than commonly tender one. Her first
Impulse, of course, wns.to tear open the-let
ter; but a - secoud thought stayed her band.
She bad long ngliinode this fact of this early
attachment known to my grandfather. Whet
she now did, then, was at.onee to tell.him she
had repeived such n le.tter",i and that, as his
affianced- W ith,qabe could-net- and-would - not
read it. Was she fantastiOn her notions of
right and wrong? I slo :rnit,!.believelto ; do
not think she could have dense better or a
wiser thing. ,Out eif . ,..hnt , ,-tiot,.ne!rosufferlng
could possibly fall upon tliolnan to wheel' 'silo
was Tiltlifged, - and wlfase happiness was hence
forth in her keeping, "thot# . triteli of Paln
bore heavily 'upon her. That - t - liffer, trlth its
unbroken - seal, lay, ell her life, shut up in the
old musty cabinet, where Irritood revealed at
last. That, acting up to the truest .spirit of
her intention, she fought long arid victoriously
against the desire to faffront what those hidden
characters contained—whether or not they
bore that assurance of love which once would
.have been joy unutterable=we are bound to
believe. Upon ono solitary occasion alone
was she ever seen to wrestle with her tempta
tion. After a meek endurance of one of my
grandfather's fits of-passion—for ho had a
stormy temper—she was found seated, weep
ing bitterly, before the Open door of that
guarded chest wherein lay the unbroken seal.
- Solemn as ouch subjects mast b - c and are,
there is a blessed comfort in the thought of
them. It is a gracious thing to feel that there
is something, be it what it may, of real truth
—of lasting good, something which neither
time, nor trial - , nor the common wear and tear
'of actual, dull, every day life can crush out
of a mon. But, soft! let me pause.. I said
that nothing can crush out of a man. Do
men - know anything of 'Bitch 'relic's as I speak

should fancy they do not. The steady, un

and ono remembrance I own I never folind,
save in woman
I myself confess to a few hoarded relics—
Heaven o lorbie that any woman should' be
without them! But these are yet under the

Some day, perhaps—but we,_none of us, like
to think of that,-strange hands may overhaul
them. Pity it is. that so few of us have
strength ortioul enough, or, it may be, ward ;

upon us, to enable us to put beyond the reach
of_ancrilegious eyes our most darling secrets!
0, could we but summon the nerve to place
them with our own moving.fingers upon some
funeral pyre!' Could we hut watch them
slowly consuming! But no; wo cannot do
this. While we hnve life, they 'are ours. It
would seem like bidding an eternal farewell
'to our proteedug genius, to put away the
guardian spectres of lost hopes, dead loveS,
and mystic meniorins. No!
.Let us treasure
them while we yet walk among the-living.
But, 0, may some kind and pitying hand,.

hour, that I held my breath for very reverence,
the tears , springing to my eyes with sudden
,emotion. Surely angelic hosts hovered above
that small hplied down head, on whose golden
logs a halo seemed to rest! Whatever was,
that silent; guarcled,-and mysterious prayer—
and sometimes it struck me that it might pos
sibly have relation to either a dread of dying,
:or to l'or anticipations drier near heaven, as
she was at the time out of health—whatever
that prayer might be, that it was a beautiful

any story surpassing in interest the already
written and attested records of that most
thingerous secret. There are few familia
who cannot recount, from the oral- traditions
of their house, some legend tanning -on the

The married pair, would seem had been

been granted to their prayers. It was now
that, whilelivingiu the utmost retire.ment,.in
an obscure street, the husband huroduced to
his wife an old •Scotch nurse, bearing in her
: arms a new born child. This child, said by
him to be the posthumms son of a _dear friend,
recently deceased, lie represented it was his

that it was but to servo a temporary , purpose,
and that, the object in .furtherance of which
this singular deception was to bo carried on

A quick instinct of wrong, in the mind of
the ry oung wife, made her tit first hesitate;
but the:recollection of that strict abnegation
of her own will to which she bad vowed her
self nt last prevailed over her scruples, and the
pleading looks of the helpless little orphan,
lying safe and warm within her arms, molting
her soul. she took the forlorn babe to her bo-,
corn, and bestowed upon, itheartily amother's
care. The child. proved sickly, a weary bur
then to any but a real . mother': yet its foster
parent; though young and unused to such a'
charge, never for a moment shrunk from .the
'responsibility she had incurred. The conse
pience naturally was, that the boy learned , to
love bar strongly and entirely. But towards
his reputed father be at all times evinced a
a most strange and unaccountable aversion,
amounting to an instinetive,horror and shrink
ing from his pretence. When the child had
grown to be about a year old, Mr A—g, the
gentleman In question, his plans now appar

his protege to .his fainily, as.hie own legitim

descendent of ona of the old border families,
renowned inhiiitory for many a raid and many
a foray across the English frontier, and, judg

and adventurous spirit of the early , freebooter
would seem ,to have been. transmitted down
through many generations, little, modified by
the march of centuries. And now came the
poor wife's trial. • In her. husband's home, and
under the ,eyes of his kindred and household,
she was soon doomed to feel bitterly how a

TILE SOCIETY OF LADIES.
The following portizOnt remarks occur at
the closo of au iirticlb on the dangers of "Col
lege Life;" from the pen of a New York cler
gyman, which appeared in tho Now York
nmes : •
The society of ladles hue done much forms
all my life !Ong; and it was the salutary, sof
tening influence of such associations, that with
God's -blessing, restrained one from many nu'
excess into which I might otherwisehave been
led while receiving my education. It is a bad
sign when a young man has no relish for such
company. Whatever be a man's station in
life, whether high or low, ptiblic or private, he
will become a better man, and escape many a
disaster, if he will listen in duo season to the
voice of the intelligent and the refined among
the other •ox, Not only do they generally
excel us in their nice
,perception of the pro
prieties of life, and in their tender sense of
duty to both God and man, but they are equally
before us in their instinctive facility of fore
seeing evil befOre it is upon us, and of wisely
discerning the character and motives of men.
