And the cold world, harslily chiding,

Far beyond their praise of scorn.

Over the hills and far away."

In the life we leave behind, ' ' i

For the sake of long ago.

To our grassy piilow low,

In their mingk-d love and pain,

Never re-unite apaiu?

To a dim, mysterious shore,

It 13 midnight, aiid I s.ru alout! Yet my
solitude is peopled with many busy memories;
for beyond the preciuts of this eilent little
room, is "the sound of rushing waters, dash
ing on impetuously, rilling the air with hoarse
fitful murmers. A'ojvc the tumult rises one
voice, fpeaking to my soul ia the eloquence
of woe. Thus it epoko to mc once before in
the years that are past.
Mj couhu Uatb and I shared this little
room together. From irs deep window we
watched the windings of the beautiful stream
rippling in the sunlight or leariug the droop
ing branches of the spreiiiog beeches that
mirrored their graceful forms in its cool sha
dows. Another, too, know well its windings, and
from that window we had watched hitn moor
J hia little boat aud sprung upon the mossy
pL'each with a boyish hallo! as he can-ht the
flutter of Kuth s waving handkerchief her
free cousinly signal of welcome.
My noble brother Horace! What wonder
that Ruth's loving heart bounded at the sight
cf him, so manly and so brave! His presence
made sunshiue for the rainiest day that ever
befel; and even old Growler, octogenarian as
he was, according to the reckoning of the ca
nine calender, gamboled iu quite a juvenile
way at the sound of the lamiiiar voice;., and
the sleek little greyhound Flora, thrust her
cold no?e forward, in a privileged way, to of
fer a salute after the most approved pug'
fashion. The fu miner with its wealth of ro
ses, wa3 on the wane. Hut as the roses of
the gardeu were shedding there glowing
leaves iu the chill of the autumn winds; those
oa the cheeks of ruy beautiful cousin wete
growing deeper day by day.
How royady beautiful she wa3 as she stood
in the east window, in the bright glory of the
morning suushine! So Horace thought, as
he stood lookiug down upon her so fondly.
Her soft brown hair was drawn smoothly back
from her broad, white brow, and her small
beautiful bead encircled with ivy leaves
When she raised her deep lustrious eyes to
his lace, he compared her to Dante's "Bea
trice." But liuth was as sportive as a fawn,
and that beseeching look, failing in its object,
the white lids drooped over the tender eyes,
and the red lip pouted omniously.
Horace held his gloves and riding whip in
one hand, while he extended the other to
ltuth for a parting clasp.
The little shoe, with its shining buckle,
tapped impatiently against the white oaken
floor, while the rosy lingers busied themselves
with aa embroidered slipper. Perverse girl
that she wail cot to be daunted by the half
deprecatory' glance of those expressive eyes;
but she kept silence.
'Come liuth, cousin mine, have pity, and
don't dismiss me without one cousinly salute.
How can I bear up under a whole weeks ex
ile from toy little wife that is to be, without
even one kiss it parting.
Playfully bending down to look into her
averted eyes, Le continued:
"Why, you are as silent as a epbinx. By
your leave, I will present you as a rara avis
at the next convention of Naturali3tsT a
woman that hasloeitthe on of her tongtie!'
EBENSBERC, PI. WEDNESDAY, 5IARCH 28, I860.
'Such a favor would scarce compensate for
the loss of your wit," she replied indignant
ly. "I am dumb with surprise!"
"At whatr'
4 'That yoa are so unlike a man!"
"What then am I like?"
A mongter!"
"Brave, liuth! You have been studying
"Giuilaume Tell!" And, since you are as
defiant as the Swiss liberator, I must be af
haughty as the tyrant Gcssler. But I won't
plead for a privilege that I have a right to
demand. So, cousin mine, here's to a better
humor when we meet a we-'k hence!" And
with a polite bow, he was about to withdraw.
liuth made a step forward, and said in a
spirited way.
"Horace. WiJ jicr,-are my wishes really 4d
eo little importance to you that you can pass
them by so lightly? Two weeks before our
marriage, and you are already playing the
tyrant! Once more, Horace, will you forego
this engagement for my sake, and sustain me
by your presence thi3 evening?"
"A little to austere, my rustic maiden; you
must emulate the tenderness of your scrip
tural namesake, if you would gain your plea.
But Hamilton is waiting; let us part friends;
you are too exacting, dear liuth. I am sure
I have given you reasons enough to satisfy
any generous person. So say good-bye, and
I will return as quickly as I can?"
"Sinee my wishes are cf so little conse
quuence, my favor must be as lightly esteem
ed. You need not write, you are under the
ban of my displeasure, sir! Good morning,
Mr. Wilmer!"
And with a stately step she passed into an
adjoining room, leaving Horace, half amused
half pained, to bid me a hasty adieu, and
fiu j his friend, who was waiting for him in a
carriage Lelow.
liuth came forward as the sound of rattling
wheels struck her ear. Peering through the
blinds she saw the carriage pass over tho
bridge atd loose itself among the trees. Theu
with a sigh she sat down to fiuish the velvet
slippers she was embroidering for Horace,
with a resolution, no doubt to banish him
from her mind. Kuttring the room, a half
hour lately, I found her leaning idely upon
the embrauseof the window, with a miniature
of Horace lying before her, which she was
regarding very attentively.
Horace had gone to a neighboring town to
attend to some court busiuess, which required
hit personal supervsion, and which be could
n-it possibly neglect or entrust to other bauds.
But liuth had oot her heart on having him
at "Clovermead" that evening, to a company
given to a bride, for which she had oficiated
as: bridesmaid. ' '" " "'
The position was embarrassing, and sho
paiticulatiy wished Horace to be present, to
spare her the annoyance of the too pointed
attentions of the groomsman a matter which
sic had not altogether explained to Horace,
aud which consequently did cot ouilo under
stand. She felt piqued at his seeming in
difference, for they had loved each other from
childhood, and for the first time in their lives
had parted coldly he vexed that she should
insist on controlling him, and she half dispo
sed to question Lis love.
Three uights after Horace left there was a
terrific storm. The tall poplars shading the
avenue were tossed like reeds in the strong
wiud, aud occasionally in the lull of the tem
pest we beard the roar of the swollen stream,
as it overflowed its bauks and tore up ty the
roots the kootted beaches that had cast their
s-hadows cn its bosom for half a century,
liuth, st&rtied from her slight slumber clun
to me in an agony of fear, as the deep voiced
thunder revcrbratcd along the lowering hea
vens, and the vivid lightning shed a blinding
glare through the sullen gloom. Again and
again she called Horace by name, and ejacu
lated prayers for his safety.
'Oh, cousin Annie," she would say,
"should anythiug happen to Horace, I cac
never forgive myself."
Trembliug aud dismayed myself, agitated
by strange forebodings. I sought to soothe
her. S" night passed and morning came.
The soft haze floated like a veil of gossamer
over the vellow maples, till their bright leaves
deepened to a crimson glow. Though masses
of snow white clouds were rifts of sinning
blue no trace of tho fearful storm, except
the roar of the turbid streaTu aud the masses
of floating timber hurried along by the swift
current.
There was sunshine, too, ia the trusting
heart of cousiu liuth; for the good doctor, hvr
father, had brought from the post office a
formal note from Horace, stating that, in
consideration of her displeasure, if she would
grant Lieu upon his return the boon she de
nied him at parting, he would brave all the
adverse fates extant, and be with her that eve
ning. Ail day the Dame of Horace was upon her
lips.w Uustly she plied her needle, weaving
iu the bright bule, "forget-me-nots' upon the
purple ground of the velvet slippers peace
offerings for Horace npon his return.
"It was so wrong of me, Annie," she
would say, "to behave so imperiously to Ho
race. He has so often tol J me that my un
wavering confidence in him endangered me
to him more than all the rest. Oh! the lag
gard moments! how slowly they pass I "am
so impatient to acknowledge my fault, and
convince him that I appreciate hia noble worth.
Let us go down to the old ash tree, Annie,
and perhaps we may hear the sound of 'Har

and, cold and rigid as marble, she raised
her finger and pointed to a huge tan jled mass

I followed the direction of her eyes my blood
congealing with an indefinite horror; but I
could discern nothing to excite alarm.
"What? what. Ptath?"I eagerly exclaimed,
clasping her qaivering form in my arais.

two handsome jewel cases.

uot subdue. Finally a light slumber was steal
ing over my seizes, wheu I was startled by a
sudden ring at the office bell. My - cousin
Henry slept ia the adjoming room, and in a
few urinates I heard my uncle's voice calling
to him iu a low, suppiessed tone I sprang
from my bed aad stood at the door listea-
mg.
'Henry! Jicsxy. my foo," he said, get up
quickly, lor God's sake! Horace is drowned!"
I laid my hand upon my heart my wild
beating heart for even then came a thought
of the silent sleeper, breathing so camly uu
der the very sound of the appalling words,
that would tall upou her er like the crash
of a thunderbolt! Through an (.xpiicable
whirl of confused though;, 1 heard lloury's
bewildered exclamations, as his latht-r said
softly, "Gel up quietly, my son, aud do not

I heard the souud uf voices below; then my
cousiu Henry's cautious step passiug by our
door aud deceudiug the stairs. Theu silently
as I could I passed through the outer door
aud stood at the landing till they had all

He came forward holding the lamp in his

took me in his arms.
I could not weep only look at him with a
beseeching eagerness in my eyes, which he
readily understood.
"My child" he said, "I will not repeat
what I see vou know too well. They have
gone in search of the body. There is no j
possibility of his being found alive. But, j
found alive. But,
Ruth, my poor darling! how can we break
the dreadful tidings to her? You must tell
her. Anuie I uever cac. It would bi like

Then he tolJ me all.
M v brother and his friend had left O
t hat afternoon, in a one horse carriage. Upou
reaching the stream they found it very much 1
swollen, but anticipated no d;mculty in cnss
ing the bridge?, which stoixl some few feet
above the wttcr with a gradual ascent from
the bank on either side. Oa urging the horse
through th stream towards this asceat. Lis
feet became eutangled in some drifting bran
ches, and in striving to extricate himself he
was fast proceeding beyond his depths. Sev
eral persons standing on the bank called to
the two young men to save themselves and
let the horse go. But Horace sprang out up
on the wheel, and in reaching over to cut the
traces was dragged from hia fj-tij, and was
lost to sight beneath the foaming waters.
Mr. Hammilton, his friend, caught by the
pier, and clambered to the top of the bridge,
while the vehicle and the coble animal that
Horace had lo?t his lifo in trying to save,
were swept down by the current, noraco
was seen uo more. Many had followed down
the stream, thinking, perhaps the body might
be found, but as yet wre unsuccessful. A
deputation of young men had called for Hen
ry, and they were now oa their way to seek
the beloved dead.
"And now, my child," he Fail, "go to
Ruth, but keep the paiuful tilings from her
as long as you caa. My poor child your own
heart is breaking, but sympathy for another,
will make your own grkf less hard to bear!"
Kissing me tenderly he sect me back to my
own room.
The light was gleaming faintly from the
cast, and ia its soft glow I could see the flush
ed face of tha speaker. The loosened Lair
lay in wavy masses around, the fair templc-5;
and very flexible delicate feature, indicated a

A

to suffocation.
The morning sun broke radiantly thro the
fylds of tho close curtain when Ruth, clasp

"Dear Anuie, how cold you are!"
Then suddenly raising her head she looked
into my face with an expression of tender

Ruth lifted the wet hair from the temple?,

alone with him to whom, ia life, her heart

Keenness of ThaCUery.!
Says Prentice: TLackery is not only a
consumate literary artist, but a deep and
acute observer. This is evinced in his ''Vir
ginians," quite as remarkably as in his other
works. For example, bow striking is this ob
servation which we take frora ths "Virgin
ians." "There is no greater error than to
suppose that weak bad men are strangers to
good feeling, or deficient in sensibility. Only
the feeling does not last nay, the tears are a
kind of debauch of sentiment, as old libertin9
are said to find that the tears and grief of
their victims add zest to their pleasure."
This is profoundly true, and it aecoanis per
