(CONTINUED I
And, in truth it was not until long after her
marriage—not until she had learned - how much
- there is in the very happiest union to call for
mutual love and forbearance; not until ehe,had
stood by her husband's side, in sorrow as well
as in jay ; not until she knew from actual obser
vation and experience, how much there is in the
familiar intercourse of home-life, that will inev
itably grow tame, commonplace, and devoid of
interest, unless the elevating and refining influ
ence of affection invests it with grace and digni
ty, that she became fully sensible how terrible
had been the preeipiee, upon the brink of which
she had stood. Bat even beforb she had been
tuny weeks a wife, her eyes were sufficiently
open to make her 'tremblingly thank God that
every day and every hour was making her hus
band still dearer to her heart—that he possessed
such noble traits of character—that he was sa
devoted to her—so tender and forbearing, that
she could not help loving him..
Just 6ne year after she was married she wrote
as follows to her sister :
"I presume it is not ne?eseary• for me to tell
Jon, Illelr Kals, time thin is the asiniveriary el
my weddinik All day longhave I been blessing
my Father in Heaven that I have not been pun

the altar with •such irreverent footsteps. Ido
not wonder that you, my sister—you who real
ize so fully the -holiness and sanctity of the true
- marriage, thought me wild—mad. I was so
for fearful is the hazard incurred by any woman
w,ho places her happiness in the keeping of one
whom she does not love, no matter how strong
or deep may be his attachment to her. Had my
husband been anything but what he is—bad he
been on whit less worthy of love, or less calcu
lated to aspire, it, I tremble to think what my
to w ' have been. An unloving wife ! Oh,
ate, n you 'think of altj other combination of
words (might with deep and mournful mean-
W' e danger is 'past in my case • for no
wife eve loved a husband more devotedly than I
do mine now. But Ido not the less regret the
past. .The' grist few months of my married life
were embittered constantly by the knowledge
that Willis was grieved and disappointed that I
was not to klui all that he had expected his wife
would be • that he thought me cold, and, per
haps hear tless. All this would have been avoid-
ed—,tilany - sad hours both on his part and my
own, if I had hut 'taken your :Advice. Kate, and
been less hasty
"But I must still disagree with you on one
point ' t have 'always been glad that Willis
knows nothing of my formes engagement I
think it would have troubled him, particularly
when we were first married.; he has some pecu
liar ways of thinking, and flue of his notions is,
that a.seeond attachment e iA can ver felt at all, can
never Espial a first in of intensity. So
you see it is well that be to ignorant of that if:
fair ; anti since I have known his ideas on the
subject, l have been in constant fear lest he
should hear of it. I shall probably be with you
in June, and remain a month or two—ind wont
we live Otte times ? It- is often said that mar
riage weakens the ties that.bind a woman to her
early friends.; but I do not believe it—siertainly -

Very proud and very happy was
when she returned. to Ittiddleburgh. the casting

What a happy meeting it was Lind--

own home ; but that was her drh return s, the

-Let we have her—let the have her cried

"Not quite so bad as that, Ada," replied- the
young father. "I am willing to admit Chat'she

look at the delicate lit le creature that Kate was
, caressing so fondly. +I have seen young moth

i thing—who is she going to look like? "
-"I don't know. who she resembles," replied
Adelaide. ,4 t gave her your name dear Kate,
hoping that site might look like you -- I shall-be
j;satisfied if she iiTwx If as good.'
"Oh, you flatterer ! but come, tea is all ready
for you—and lino* you must be tired. Here,
Elias, take the baby' —and giving the child to
the nurse, Kate led .the way to the tea-table.
• Late as their sr:it'll was, there was not a room
iu the dear old house that Adelaide did not visit
before she glept,.not a nook in the garden that
~he did not explore, not a flower-bed over which
she dirt tint bend, not a path which she did not
retread. Her bright, happy eyes flashed every
where, and seemed to take; in everything at
glance; and her voice and Kate's were hard,
now in one mom and now id another,. mingling
like the humming of bees.
• aYou'ruust play and ring fu} we to night, my
daughters. Come; Ada, Woe the rest.of your
explonitioni until tainotvoi, and let us have
one of your old songs."
Adelaide complied. Her husband was prg
sinuately fond of gamic, and at his request she
had devoted much time to perfecting herself in
the art. She had really made wonderful im
.
proventent— , -aud Mr. Lindeley 'and Kate were
delighted.
"Ada has been kaftan to play the harp. I
wish you had one really performs
kuirably;" said Mr. Oleteker, h is eye dwelt
fondly upon his wife; "We ere going to take
-you home with us, Kate, and you must take les
sons- of signer Malseuselli, or whatever hla
name is, too.",
"I should like
,it very muck," replied Nate,
"and we will talk more about it by and bye.—
But you are not to even think of home in less
than two months." '
"How thie omit: reminds me of Theresa Gor
don !" exclaimed- Ada; "she has never written
to me, and I think it very strange. Do yoU hear
any thing from Mr. Gordon, papa •"
"Yes; I told you, you know, when I was in

"I ani sorry to heir it," replied Adelaide:
always liked Mr. Gordon very much; and. I used
to love Theresa, too. But she certainly netts
us very strangely: .
"By the way, Mr. Lindaley," said Mr. Fletch
er, "what has become of that young man from
the Bouth—he was a wan! of Mr. Gordon's, I
believe—whom I used to see here occsaionaUy?
I think his name was Tilden--George*Tilik-n, ur
James Tilden, or something of that son."
"I have not heard from him, directly, for a
longtime—not since you were married, !believe.
Mr. Gordon sometimes alhtdes to him in hi 4 -let
ters, but says nothing very definite."
"Well, your young friends are both nuher neg.
hgest, sad not any too grateful, I think. By
the way, Ada, did'nt I hear once that he was
Very much in love with you!' It seems to me I
remember some such gossip as that years ago."
Row Adelaide's cheek burned, a nd hew h er
heart throbbed! It was ofetd_the penalties of
Se deeeptioe she had r*tieed toward Willis,
that she was in constant fear of detection. Bat
the light did not Sill upon her face, and hearing
a cry from little Kate, who was in the adjoining
room, just then, she Sew to the cradle, while her
sister replied— •
‘‘l suppose he was married about n month af
ter you were—we heard that he was going to be:'
A new subject was broached before Adelaide
returned: and as she entered the room, her father
extended his hand and drew her to his side.
.'How pleasant this is, my daughter Come
here Kate, and sit down on this side, and I shall
almost fancy you are little girls agairr.,tryin g io
see which shall cling closest to papa. You look
more like your mother as you grow older, Ada,"
he continued, passing his hand over the rich,
dark hair, that was simply parted on her fore
head, andthered in a - knot hehiud-- . --11,m't
think she does Kate?"
Ah! it was alikeness perceptible only to the
eye of affection. They were u unlike as mother
alai daughter could" be;.bat Mr. Lindsley loved
both, And fancied there was a resemblance be
tween them.
It was very late before the family-pariv sepa
rated that Bight; and even after they had all
arisen and stood with the lighted candles iu their
hands, Mr: Lindsly still lingered as if unwilling
to retire, After he had once left the room he
returned on some trivial errand, and again ten
derly kissed them.
"God bless you - and keep you, my children,"
he said ; "I do not know but I am foolish, but • I
dci- not like to leave you this evening. I feel
just in the mood for sitting here and'ehattingell
litt. But good-night once more, all of yon"—
, with his usual smile, even more beaming
than its wont, he went up stairs.
It was past•the usual breakfast hour when all
the family excepting Mr, Lindsley, assembled at
the table nextutonung. He had not yet (lime
down. They waited ten or fifteen toinutes ctr

"Pdther are you awake?" she called.
Still all was Aimee, and *she softly opened ih.'
door! Another moment and a shriek—so loud
and piercing that the listeners sprang w ildly
their feet, and their hearts stopped beating—rang
out upon the cleat, still, morning air.
"Stay here, Adelaide," said Mr. Fletcher, de
taining his wife as • she would have rush l past

The'bed was undistirbed, and 116 d evidently
not been occupied durin4 the nigfit.. The candle
was still binning dimly in its socket—the long,
black wick looked grim and weird-like iu the
faint light that struggled' feebly through the
blinds, and a close, sickening odor filled the room.
Mr. Lindsley was sitting in an arm.eltair by the
head of the bed, with his open Bible on his knee,
and they noticed afterward that his finger rested
upon thew words--" There remaineth, therefore,
a rest for the people of God." His head had
fallen upon one aide, and lay upon the, pillow,
and his white hair was swept back from his fore
head, leaving it calm and undisturbed as4hat_ of
an infant. •
The same smile with . which he had lett thew
on the previous night alidi lingered on his lip;
but one glance WA.R suilleient to ttli 7 thein that
the /titbit had led forever—be was mime dead.
Kate had fallen upon Ger knees by his'sitle,
and, with her hands aattrulsitvly togeth
er, Was gazing upon I h A irt. form, with a look
of terror and agoay upon her face far more terri
ble to behold than the pale, calm features of -the
dead. '
Adehtide's strength and firlf-costrul sel,kon
tailed her in any emergency, and. with a filmi
ness that surpr ised
. her husband, she sprang
quickly to her onater's side.
"Kate, Kate, -look at me'. speak to uo. Do
you know me,- Kate?"
The dim eyes turned partially toward-her, and
the white fingers were knit still may firmly to
gether: Mut/here was no other token of recogni
tion, By this time, the terrified savants and a
near neighbor or two, who had been startled by
Kate's shrill, peircing scieani, mune emwding in
to the r00m... With- a waive -of the hand Mr.
Fletcher motioned them back, and raising Kate
in his arms, bore her into her own chadtber, ind
laid her upon the bed.
Adelaide hung over her in speechless agony.
Physicians were !summoned, but their efforts
were all in vain. Before the inn, which she hmid
so gayly welcomed at -its rising, bad reached 'the
zenith., Bate Warren lay cold mil white' and
motionless-4 thing of chip !
She had been, for two or three years, more or
less affected by a disease of the heart ; but it had
never given either herself or her friends much•
nneatinese, as her general health seemed sauce
ly leas firm than usual. But this sudden shock
had been more than her delicate frame could en
dive, and the father and daughter . together slept
the sleep that knows no waking.
Kind friends and neighbors, instead of the
hired undertaker, performed the last sad Whees
for the dead--arraying them for their long re
pose, and with light and reverent arrans

had all sat toge th er conversing t-4 . 0 quiet y and

suddenness of the blow seemed to have stunned
her: Mr. - Fletcher longedito see her weep; but

were parched, and her hands dry and burning.

Willis laid her gently on the sofa, and stole
out of the room. In a eminent he returned,
bearing their babe in, his arms. Kneeling by
her side, without - speaking, he placed the little
one on her breast, and it . nestled closely in her
bosom smiling softly.
Adelaide clasped both the 'child and herhus

passionate love.

illeburgh a few weeks, and then returned sadly
to their own home.
' Mi. Lindsley's heart and hand. had evei beeh
ps open as tle day, and he had always lived lib ,
erally, though not extravagantly.. After the set
dement of his affairs hut little remained. except
tile house where he had lived ever since his mar
riage; and that. Mr. Fletcher declared, should
never pass into the.hands of strangers . '
"We will find sowe good wan and woman who
will be willing to occupy the kirk part of the house,
Ads, and take care of the rest of it, then wittia
we want to come here we shall not have to ask
leave of any -one." . •
Ada' tearful, yet Pleasell assent to the propo
sition, toldhim how painful had been the-thought
of yiehling.the occupancy of the dear old rooms •
to those who could not revere the a.sociation.s that,
for her, clung round each window and doorway;
and she turned away with comparatively light
heart, when she thought that she might return
when she would and find all things in their ac
rustomed places. -
Three years passed swiftly away. Little Kate
had become a marvel of beauty and lovetinent in
the era of her fond parents, and Adelaids often
sighed when she thought what a pet . she would
have beediwith her grsatipapa and her aunt Itate:
Willis fairly worshiped her, and the child return
ed.his love with enthusiastic 141tithwtts.
! , Here, Ada," said Mr. Pearlier. one morning
as he entered his wife's dressing room, and threw
some eards down on the table, "here ark invita
tions for a party given in hose of Edward (hey
sonoi/w 'and his bride, who are to in town tort

know 'Ned is an old frien d of none, and I would
like to show him some attention." .
"I will do so, certainly, if you wish it, Willis; ;
do not need these sable garments to remind me
of my dear father and Kate"—and her Rid qui
vered as she glanced at her black lobes.
cer know it, my dear Adelaide; your true heart .
has never needed them, and it will really gratify I
me very much if you will go to this party. - Yon ;
will need a new dress for the occasion, I suppose.
Every thing that yen have must -be out of &tot -;
by this time."
"Oh, entirely—l' have nothing that is weara
ble.
But suppose yen give me the benefit of your
taste es well as your parse, she continued laugh- ;
ingly, as her husband threw the Nit: mentioned
article into her lap t--" What shall it be?"
"Oh, I do n't know any thing ahonesueh things;
only, do n't wear white."
"Why not! White is always pretty and be- I
coming." ' .
"Yes, and for that very reason two-thirds of the
women in the
-room will be arrayed in it—so I
would rather you would wear something else."
The evening arrived, and when Adelaide came
down to the parlor where her husband Was wait
ing for her, he thought he had never 'Jett* her
lock so lovely. She was, in truth, far more beau
tiful now 'than' in her girlhood; her figure• was
rounder and fuller; and the look of haughtiness
and pride that hail, in her early , days, at times
I lent a rather unpleasant expression to her face,
1. • had given plane to One of woman wireetiess. Her
eyes, with their long weeping fringes, were as
deep and resplendent as ever, and there meson*.
what more doses added to the wsuil deity sit
. ,
her bearing. Her luxuriant' hair, arranged as'
she generally wore it, in rich, glossy braids for-
tiling a natural coronet, was entirely withoutor-
nantent. A robe of ruby velvet, simply reliet 4 etl,
at the throat by a fall of wetly lace, and fastened
by a small diamond pin, fitted exquisitely her tall
anti graceful form, and the ltewe t langing sleeves
were looped up by, diamond claips, leaving her j
white and rounded arms uutanered, and in beau- 1
tiful contrast with the. rich, dark hue of her dream. '
"Well, Ada, either yourthnse to-night becomes 1
you - wonilly," said Mr. Fletelter, after sur- 1
veying lterta moment in silence, "or else you are i
very becoming to the dreesJ-which is it?" , '
"That is too motuentotts a question le be de-;

a gay 6ngli—"though, provilled the effect is the'
same, I don't know As it lig of much consequence i
after all. So you like my dress, do you?" ..
"very much; „but I have a trifling addition to

The rooms were thronged, and after the first
half hour Adelaide ttcareely saw her husband un

.pcned to be standing direy beneath one of the
massive chandeliers in the music -room}, carelessly i
turning over some new mugs, he approached and , .
addressed her in a low ton e .
"Ada, who can that gentleman be—the one i
who is letaning against the mantle in the draw-
ing-room? He has hardly turned his eyes away:
from you for the last quarter of kn hour. His
countenance looks familiar, and I am sure I have
seen him before, but 1 cannot imagine when..."
Adelaide raised her eyer without moving. anite
directly before her, although not in the same
apartment, stood George Tilden. She recognized i
him instantly, and in 'spite of every effort to pre
vent it, a burning blush mounted to her very fore
heads, At the same motheut the gentleman per
ceiving he was observed, turned carelessly away,
"Why, who is it, Ada}'--any'oue we know? or
