TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1865. £>tltct ferg, From the Saturday Evening Post, AND WHAT CAME OF IT. BY BELLA Z. SPENCER. One stormy evening this winter, we were sitting in my room before a glowing grate- Mrs. Grant and I —she talking, I listen ng, while the wind whistled and the windows shook dismally. I seem to see her now as she leaned back in my great easy chair, her feet upon a stool, and the two fair little hands that looked like a child's folded over the cap lightly. The picture was both pretty and touching. Though quite old, she bore few traces of age. Her face was smooth and soft her hair black and shining, neatly folded away under a charming little lace cap, trim med with purple ribbons. There was a smile upon her lips as she ceased speaking and sank back as I have described her, but tears were on her cheeks, shining like dew below ber spectacles. Since that evening I have of •en recalled her in just, t hat position, calm and exquisite in every detail of feature and dress. The quikensh style she assumed, became her better than any one I ever saw, and as she was a special favorite of mine, ] -oppose I may be pardoned for saying she looked perfectly beautiful, though tnawy who knew In r but slightly, failed to understand •ll> enthusiastic admiration, and seldom failed to teaze me if I spoke of her, about my pen -1 hunt for old ladies. Bhe had been telling tne a long story—a story that the world would sneer at as the (•n ation of a morbid imagmati >n, were I to write it. Step by step she led tne up tfcro' the flowery paths of youth to womanhood, where the clouds lowered aud storms broke mercilessly over her head. 1 understood now why she was so gentle and serene, why her character was so spotlessly pure and lovable in her old age. She had passed through the fires of afflict ion (early, and all the dress of her nature had been consumed. From that fine she went on her way so calmly, so qui etly, that old Time in tender pity, tempered the weight of his touch to feathery lightness, so that the evening of lift found her unbound in foim, and as fresh in appearance as many a woman at forty. Presently the little clock upon the mantel chimed the hour,and as the tenth stroke tang clear and sweet through the chamber, she rose smilingly and held out her hand. 'Ten o'clock, and I have kept you from your writing all the evening. It is t>o bad. I am afraid, too, that 1 have saddened you D>> not think abo if it, chi d. I am much better and happit r for what has happened to me. Bitter lessons are often needed <0 teach us how to live, and nunc were such as t were necessary for my good. I would not have it otherwise. Why 1 have told you my histo ry, 1 cannot tell. This is the first time I indulged in retrospecting the Past for thirty years, and why the impulse should have come upon me, is a question I cannot answer.— Perhaps there was a purpose in it—who knows, and j*ou will remember my experi ences to your own advantage sometimes. Good-night, dear, ard God bless you." She came to tr.y side, bent to kiss my fore head tenderly; then as if impelled by a stron ger impulse, caught me close to her bosom anl pressed kiss after kiss upon my lips.— IR" breath fanned my face, fragrant as a child's, and her little hands were so velvety in their touch, I could not forget the sensa tion for a long time after 6he left the room with that sweet smile upon her lips, and a repetion of her "good-night" in tenderer,raore lingering accents. I took the chair she had vacated, after lis tening to her steps as she glided down the hall, and turning the gas jet around, so as to fall properly upon my book, began to read I must have grown sleepy very soon, for it was only eleven o,clock when 1 awoke from a slumber to find the book had fallen to the floor, and with cold perspiration drenching my face and hiir. I ha 1 been dreaming of Mr- Grant, and what I suffered in that dream is beyond the power of description. In this dream I seemed to be staning in the shadow af a stately house, totally strange ti me. No remembrance of the people or place familiarized a 6ingle scene ; but as I paced back and forth upon a terrace,a strange HI n passed me, his face grave and gloomy, nd his manner singularly expressive of dis tres. S on crowds of people began to gather up~ • 111 the terrace, and I turned to tho strang-r to ask him what it meant. "There is to be an execution," he replied, " A woman has been condemned to death." 1 turned from the spot, intending to avoid the scene, but he commanded me sternly to remain where 1 was, and 1 Lad no power to move. Standing there in the shadow, mute and cold with the dread and horror that had seiz me. I heard the suund of measured steps, and slow, sad music swept through the place like a requiem. It is singular how distinct and impressive the details ofdreams often are; and in that moment 1 recognized the notes of the air performed, which was like a funeral chant—eonld count my own heart-beats, hear the measured (oot6teps upon a marble pave* ment, and see the eager, yet sad and gloomy faces of those who waited for what was com ing. I saw, as T watched the crowd, that the people all seemed te be Catholic's, and the man who spoke to me, a priest. Catching my eye, he came close to my side, and 6atd solemnly : "This wotnarf who is to die has violated her faith in a manner which forces the Church to strangle her. Death is attached to her crime as its sole penalty, and there is no help for her this side of Heaven." He bowed his head and groaned so bitterly that I asked in pity. "Is she anything to you "My mother! Oh.|rny mother ;"'was the repiy uttered through sobt like an appeal, and then I saw the tears falling like rain over his pale cheeks The next moment he advanced toward a platform around which clustered some nuns, and one or two priests, Between two of the nuns stood a woman robed in white, and as she turned in mounting the platform, 1 saw the features of Mrs, Grey. A cry of dismiy died in my throat, and I tried to spring forward, but could not. Her eyes were fixed upon mine for one ra uneut, with an expression of terror and agony, as i! she would implore my aid, but the next in stant, the distress all faded and gave place t<> that same sweet smife which had lingered around her lips in parting only a little while before, and she knelt meekly to receive her doom. I was conscious of surprise in my dream, for until that moment I had not known that she was a Catholic. She had never said anything to lead me to suppose she belong ed to the church, 12nd I wondered at it for I had known her a long time. Afterwards, in my waking hours, tht same surprise seized me when 1 learned that she was a CatnolAc in truth, and had been for many years. After kneeling with her face still turned to nie, she folded the fair little hands quietly over her bosom, while two of the nuns placed a long white scarf about her neck, crossing the ends and each holding one at the side while they began slowly to tighten it. As the pressure became stronger, cries of agony escaped her. I can never forget the horrors of that death struggle, so fearfully distitiPT in every detail. To me an eternity of misery was embodied in it. while I was utterly incapable of moving from the spo*. Gradually her struggles ceased, and her face grew pale as marble. 1 wondered at that, for I thought in strangulation the face must grow black ; but her features were as pallid as snow, while no trace of the agony seemed to linger upon it. Slowly her form began to sink backward then the nuns would loose the scarf wilh a refinement of cruelty, until life began tore turn, when ihey would again tighten it with savage pleasure shiniue from their glittering pyes. A1 length it was over. I stepped forward to look upon her dead face, wearing that sweet smile "at the last, so winning, so touch ing in its gentle beauty, that my tears fell fast over the mass of daik hair scattered over her bosom. With a loving intensity of feel ing never exceeded in waking moments, I pressed the dark frir.ged lids over the blue eyes, and stooped to kiss her as she had kissed me, with a full heart. As I raised my head, all the crowd had vanished, and the dark browed stranger 6tood alone by the dead woman's side. "May God bless you !" he said, in a low, husky voice, and with his pitifully sorrowful eyes haunting me, I stole qu'etlj away, leav ing him alone. I had just passed beyond a wide gate, under a solemn looking arch, when the horror of the scene I had witnessed seemed to rush upvin me with redoubled power, and I awoke to find myself cold, trem bling, and drenched with the dews of agony. For some time after waking, I sat still and thought over this singularly fearful dream. I had not been reading anything to suggest it before sleeping. Nor was there a word in Mrs. Grant's story of an hour previous, to superintend anything so frightful in connec tion with it. Nothing had occurred within my recollection to give rise to such a freak of the imagination ; so as I sat pondering this dream, my heart heavy to aching, I dis carded my old theory of dreams in which I insisted they were but reproductions of former events or a carrying out of that on which the mind was previously occupied in the hours of sleep. It was quite late when I retired, and, nat urallv enough I slept badly. When morn ing dawned, I rose quite weary, and went out for a walk by sunrise in the hope of shak ing 1 ff the itnpi esstous which hung so heavily upon my mind. The snow lay whitely over roof and pave ment as I walked, but I did not heed- The bracing, frosty air and bright sunlight upon gleaming icicles fringing the eaves of each house, seemed to give me new life and I walked until weary, then went home for a late.breakfast. As I left the table to go to my room, a girl came to my 6ide and whispered : "Mrs. Grant is very ill, and has asked for you several times. I knocked at your door but got no aoiwer, and we could oot find you in the house." "I vriTYgo up at once," I said, with a sick ening sensation at heart, and a moment lat er I sttod at her door. As I entered the room, the feeling of hor ror so terrible to sustain in my dream came over me, for there stood a priest and two Si6ters of Charity by Mrs. Grant's bed The Sisters supported her upon either side, while her dark hair fell upon her shoulders over her white night robe. It was the same picture I had seen in my dream as the nuns placed heron the platform, and the look she gave me as her eyes feel upon me in enter ing, was the same, half agony, half ter* ror, fading away into the beautiful smile o sweet serenity, I stood still, spell bound and mute, unable to move a limb in the strange sensation which quivered through every nerve. And as I stood rooted to the spot, a spasm seized her in which the same gurgling cries of stran gulation and the fearful death struggle were reproduced. When it was over, she sank back upon the pillows, wtnte and still, and an impulse drew me to her side. I bent over the beloved form while my tears fell upon her hair, and lovingly closed the sweet blue 1-yes, while her features sealed into that ca'ra. smiling repose, which I remembered so well. When I looked up the sisters had withdrawn and only the priest remained, standing near me with folded arms and sor rowful features. ''You have been kind to her, and she lov ed you," he said gently and in a low tore. '•God bless you !" And I saw that his tears , flowed freely. I could not resist the impulse and turned to him with the question: "What is she to you 1" "She was my mother," he answered sor rowfully, "but now she is an angel in Heav en," "I did not know she had a son," I respond ed in bewilderment. "She told me that her only child, a son, was lost in Infancy." "Yes, lost to her. f was but a child when my father gave me ot the church, and from that day I was as wholly lost to her as if the grave had closed over me. In late years I have watched over her, since my father died, but she did not know it. To tlie moment of her death, she knew me not as a son, but a father confessor only. I would not bring back painful regrets and bitter sufferings to disturb her declining years, by a revelation of the truth, so she rests sweetly at last, and one great solace of my own life is gone. It was a comfort to watch over tny mother's spiritual welfare." I asked no more questions. All he said bore the stamp of sincerity, an d 1 could doubt nothing, however strange, under these strangj circumstances. But this dream and what followed, have left upon ray mind im pressions which can pass away only with uiy own life. SOME CRITIC. Artemus K. Ward, the "wax work" man, is out with another letter. Hear him : "I am travellin with a tent, which is better nor hirin Palls. My show consists of a series of wax-works, a paneraramy called a grand Movin Diareaofthe War in the Crymear, comic songs, and the Cangaroo, which little cuss continues to conduct himself in the most ou'iagious stile. I started out with the idea of making my show a grate moral en tertainment, but i'ra compelled to swareso much at that air infernal Cangaroo, that rrn afraid this desisn will be frustrated to some extent. And while speaking of morality re minds me that sum folks turn up their noses at shows like mine, saying they is low and not fit to be patronized by people of high de gree.
