She was standing up at the side of her lover at the marriage altar. She was slightly pale—yet ever uud anon, as the ceremony proceeded, a faint tinge of crim son crossed her beautiful cheek, like the reflection of a sunset cloud upon the clear waterb of a quiet lake. Her lover, as he clasped her delicate hand within his own, gazed on her for a moment with unmingled admiration, and the warm and eloquent blood played upon his cheek, shadowing nt intervals his manly forehead and 'melting into beauty on his lip.' stood in the pride of his youth—a fair form, With his feelings yet noble, his spirit yot warm, An saglo to shelter the dove with his wing. An elm who're the light twining tendrils might cling." And they gave themselves to one anoth. or, in the presence of Heaven ; and every heart blessed them, as they went on their way, rejoicing in their love. Years passed on, and again I saw those lovers,. They were seated together whore the light of a summer sunset stole through the half. closed and crimson curtains, lend ing -richer tint to the delicate carpeting, and exquisite embellishments of the rich an t # gorgeous apartment. Time had slight ly changed them in outward appearance. The girlish buoyanCy of the young wife had indeed given place to the grace of perfect. ed womanhood, and her lip was somewhat paler, and a faint line of care was faintly perceptible upon her beautiful brow. Her husband's brow, too, was marked somewhat more deeply than his years might warrant —anxiety, ambition, and prido bad gone over it, and left their traces upon it,—a sil ver hue was mingling with the darkness o his hair, which had become thinned around his temples almost to baldness. He was re clining on the splendid ottoman, with his face half hidden by hie hand, as if he feared that the deep and troubled thoughts which oppressed him were visible upon his fea tures. , Edward, yny ,aro ill to night,' said his wife, in a low,'sweet, and half inquiring voice, as she laid his hands upon her own. Tho husband roused himself from his at titude slowly, and a slight frown knit his brow. .l.nm not ill,' he said somewhat ab• ruptiv t ftnti he felded his arma.upon" his bo som, as if he wished no interruption of his evidently bitter thoughts. . . Indifference from those we love is terri ble to tho sensitive bosom. It is es if the sun of cheorfulnesd, had glared down upon us with a cold, dim and forbidding glance. It is dreadful .to feel that the only being of our love refuses to ask our Sympathy—that he broods over feelings which he scorns or fears to reveal—dreadful to watch the con vulsing feature and the gloomy brow—the indefinable shadows of hidden emotions— the involuntary signs of a sorrow in which we are forbidden to participate, and whose ohmmeter we cannot know. The wife essayed him once more, 'Ed ward,' she said slowly, mildly and affection ately, 'the time has been when you were willing to confide your ecret joys-and sor rows to one, who has never, I trust, betray ed your confidence Why, then, my dear Edward, is this cruel reserve ? You are troubled and yat yoti refuse to tell me the cause.' Something of returning tenderness soften ed for an instant the cold severity of the husband's features, but it passed evilly and a bitter smile was hie Only reply. Time passed on, and the twain were se parated. from each other. The husband sat gloomily and alone m the damp cell of a dungeon. Ho had followed Ambition as his God, and failed in his high career Ho had mingled with men whom •his heart loathed he had sought out the fierce and wronged spirits of his land, and had breath ed into them the madness of revenge. He had drawn his sword against his country— he had fanned rebellion to a flame, which had been quenched in human blood. He had fallen—Miserably iellen—and had been doomed to die the death of a traitor. It wag his last night of life. The mor row was the day appointed for his execution. Ho saw the sun sink behind the green hills' of the west, as he sat by the dim grate of his dungeon, With a feeling of unutterable horror. He felt that it was the last sun that would set to him. It would cast its next level and' sunset rays upon his grave— upon the grave of a dishonored traitor. The door of his dungeon opuitud, and a EdII;I4E,S'S FREE..dA ROBERT S.

Misfortune had softened the proud heart of manhood, and as the husband pressed the pale wife to his bosom, a tear trembled on his eyelash. have not deserved this kindness,' he murmured in the choked tones of convulsive agony. 'Edward,' said his wife in an earnest but faint and low voice which indicated extreme and fearful debility, 'we have not a moment to lose. By an exchange of garments yea will be enabled to pass out unnoticed. Haste or we may be too late. Fear nothing for me, I am a woman, and they will not injure me for my efforts in behalf of a hus band, who is dearer than life itself.' , 'But, Margaret,' said the husband, you, look sadly ill. You cannot breathe the air of this dreadful cell.' 'Oh, speak not of me, my dearest Ed. ward,' said the devoted woman. oan.en• dare every thing for your sake. Hase. Ed. ward—haste, and all will be well,' and she uided with a trembling hand to disguise the proud form of her husband in a female garb. 'Farewell my love, my preserver,' whir. pared the husband in the ear of his disguis• ed wife, as the officer sternly reminded thu supposed lady that the time allotted for her visit had expired. 'Farewell—we shall meet again," responded his wife—and tho husband passed out unsuspected, and esca ped the enemies of his life. They did meet again—that wife and hus band—but only as the dead may meet—in the awful communions of another world. Affection had borne up her exhiusted spirit, until the last groat purpose of her exertions was accomplished in the safety of her hue band ; and when the bell tolled on the mor row and the prisoner's cell was opened, the guard's found wrapped in the habiliments of their destined victim the pale but still beau. tiful corpse of the devoted Wm. William Penn's way of get ting what Land he wanted. Penn learned, in 1868, that there was some very choice land not included in his first purchase, and ho sent to inqiiire of the Indians if they would sell it,They replied that they did not wish to part with are land where their fathers were resting ; but. to please their lather Onus—the name they gave the good man—they would sell him some of it. Atbordingly, they agreed for a certain quantity of English Goods, to sell as much mild as one bfthe young man could walk round in a day, "beginning at the great river Couqaanco, (now Kensington,) and ending at the great river Kallapingo," (now Bristol.' This mode _of moasutiment, !hot:l4h their own choice, did not,ln the and satisfy the Indians ; for the 7oung Englishman, chosen to walk off the tract of land, walked so fast and far, as greatly to astonish and mortify them. Tho governor observed the dissatisfaction, and asked the cause. "the walker cheat we"; "Ah, how can that be ?"said Penn ; "did you not ohooso yourselves to have the land measured in this way 1" "True," replied the Indians, "but white brother make too big walk." Some of Penn's commissioners waxing warm, said the bargain was a fair one, and insisted that the Indians ought to abide by it, and if not should do compelled to it. "Compelled I" exclaimed , Penn,"how can you compel them without blocdshed Don't you see this looks to murdek• 1" Then turning with a benignant smile to the Indi ans, he said, "Well brothers if you haW given us too much land for the goods first agreed on, how much more will satisfy you 1" This proposal gratified them ; and they mentioned the quantity of cloth, and the number of fishhooks, with which they would be satisfied. These were cheerfully given; and the Indians, shaking hands with Penn, went away smiling. After they were gone the governor, look ing round on his friends, etelainied, "0 how sweet arid cheap a thing is charity ! Some of you spoke just now of compelling these poor creatures to stick la' their bargain. that is in plain English, to fight and kiU them and all about a little piece of land !"
