AMABEL.
»T BUNA A LICK BKOWNK.
Hoarse rated the wiud by beck and fell,
The dreary night grew dreareat,
When Heaven recalled sweet Einabel,
Our household pet, and dearest !
Unclasping from her ea-ntly brow
Earth’s unfamiliar glorv,
She went out from the tender glow
Of life’s sweet morning story.
All day she heard the golden gate
On tuueful hinges swaying, angels l”
And smiling said, “The wait
B itwixt our passiouate praying— shrinking
“Dear God, take trout our lips
This cup of tears unfaihug !”
E’en whiiu we eaw that Death’s eclipse
Her gentle face was vailing.
She said, ‘‘When morning lifts again,
Athwart the river shining,
My heart shall be at rest from pain,
My spirit done with piuing ’’
Wild raved the wind, the blackness lell
And wrapped the ghostly riuer ,
But she was safe, sweet Amabel,
• For ever aud for ever!
Oft, when the autumn’s purple eyes
Lean o'er the hills enchanted.
Ripe rosf-s, out of yellowing leaven, pinned,
Front vmes her swee* hands
I gather, in the sudden calms
That fall bitwixt the snowing.
And smile to think the heavenly pjms
Above her rest are blowing
FRED. FARLEY’S LOVE
BY SYLVANUE COBB, JR.
‘ Now mind, Fred. — you’ll be on
hand directly after the Fourth. If any¬
thing should happen to call me away
from home, Isabel, my wife—‘Bella, we
call her—will entertain you until I re¬
turn. I want you to see Bella ; and she
wa«tw «w»e you. You’ll say I ought
to be a happy man. And, remember,
you are to spend a month, at least. O,
we’ll have rare sport.’
* I shall be there if I’m alive, Harry
—depend upon that; and if you suffer
yourself to be called away before I come,
and are not there to receive me, I shall
proceed at once to claim the attention
of your Isabel.*
* All right, old fellow. You will be
warmly received, I can assure you. Bel
la is anxious to see the old chum
whom I have told her so muck-* X
Harry Lynde and
^ ched to each other friends
I as
rothers could be. They were
young—the first being four-and-twenty,
and the other a year younger. Harry
had been married six months, and had
settled down in a pleasant villa on the
Hudson, provided and furnished by his
wife’s father. Fred had just come into
possession of an ample fortune; and be¬
fore going into business—which was all
ready for him in the shape of a partner¬
ship in a heavy commercial house—he
had planned to enjoy a summer’s vaca¬
tion ru the country ; and his first trip
out from the metropolis was to be, as
we have seen, to his chum’s,- on the
Hudson.
The Fourth of July came and passed,
and on the following Monday Fred Far¬
ley made his way up the river. He
found the dwelling of his friend—one
of the most romantic and delightfully
situated villas he had ever seen—and as
he entered the par A: he asked the coach
man if Mr. Hairy Luyde was at home,
‘No, sir. He went away last Friday,
on business. But he expected you, aud
told me that the horses were to be ut
your service.’
‘ Aud Mrs. Isabel Lynde—is she
homo ?’
‘ Yes, sir; and I think she will pro¬
vide for you very well.’
Fred had playfully declared to hts
friend that he hoped he should find him
gone upon his arrival, that he
claim the undivided attention of Bella;
but now that the prospect was so near
to verification, he fidt a little bashful
and uncomfortable. But the coach was
at the door, and he resolved to put on
hold face and meet the lady
blushing or flinching; for he had no
doubt that Hurry had repeated to her
all his nonsensical remarks'.
‘ Mrs. Lynde, this is Mr. Fred Farley,’
said the smart and affable coachman, as
he led the way to the piazza. 4 Mr. Far
ley, M.s. Isabel Lynde.’
Fred looked upon the woman who
stood upon the piazza to welcome him.
Peris, and heuns,and sylphs, and fairies
all lost caste in his estimation from that
moment. A more beautiful being he
had never beheld. And v«*r sh,' was not
one ties, of such the air as fob ^P^nnor, h(fi seen made-up in drawing- beau
rooms, and in lall-footns, but a substan
tial. whole-soStefc wh¥ frank-faced, lovable
woman with volume, of truth
and poetry in thiwveet shimmer of her
smile, and in thebft, liquid light of her
large brown eyes
‘ I am sorry ;W&e H*ry is not at home,
Mr. Farley will try and make
you comfortifB^tetfl he returns. He
would not have ,*he if he could posui
bly have avoided-’.’
‘ Fred, He had busitj-s, entered I suppose,’remark
ed as tiiei Jfc the drawing
room. V;
4 Yes ew^lled to Albany, and
may have to g*
important railri Mi.tness.’
For a littl^fl e Fred felt very bash
ful. IfMrsfl lb hod been common,
or plain, he wl' have felt differently;
but friendlfh^ it seemed ^ profanation of to lovely claim
the 00 one so
and accomplish lbnents why comfort should he
suffer such jn^ ^ TIis friend to had bade to
stand in hi* v*

When ihnfe wa s a

music, el asked him if he sung. He
said tiil done so. He would try if
she it? That is, he would ac

possesse^G^ 0 ^ the richest, most mel

heard ; nay as well add here, that
the propound fejdlHv.‘jrtion of his acquaintance

with Ippel Lynde. He was charm
by her s-^et voice; and she appear
no less ejarmed by his surpassing
^ert hia they talked of Har-
that he was true and noble.
The first night in his friend’s home—
yet Fred Farley found himself wish
that his friend had never been—that
a man as Harry Lynde had never
: or, at least, had never appear
ed in that section of country,
‘ Oh, if I could have found this sweet
prize before Harry had ever known her !
Ah, Fred Farley, what are you doing ?
Coveting your neighbor’s wife! and
that neighbor your dearest friend and
chum! I’m ashamed of you. Beware !
And so the smitten guest talked with
himself until sleep closed his senses.—
Then dreams came, and Isabel Lynde
haunted his uneasy slumbers in all sorts
of strange ways.
In the morniug he arose and resolved
that he would not expose himself to the
danger which he could already foresee
in a too free interchange of poetry and
romance with his friend’s wife. But,
alas ! for human resumptions when the
erotic god has strung his bow, and set
his dart. After breakfast, (and Isabel
presided at the board with bewitching
grace) the coachman came to see if Mr.
Farley would ride. The morning was
delightful, and the horses were in need
of exercise.
Yes. Mr. Farley would ride. But
could he do less than ask Mrs. Lynde to
accompany him ? He asked her, and
assented with evident satisfaction,
‘ Harry bade me not lose sight of you,
Mr. Farley ; and I suppose I must obey
him.’
O! what a bewitching smile—what
a wondrous depth of feeling in the
brown eyes—and what music in the
voice! Fred felt a pang at his heart—
8 glow through his whole frame, and he
knew he had fallen in love! What
should he do? He must fight against
whi!e h « coul,J *
Of all the companions who had ever
shared his social hours Fred had never
before found one like Isabel. (He cull
ed ber so in his thoughts.) She was as
and as witty, and as frank
ai,J open-hearted as she was beautiful ;
an< ^ inborn purity of her soul she
never seemed to dream that harm could
wmc of it to Harry’*, chum.
■ Three days p;***:.. iLaud a letter came
from Harry say mg Jhat he had been
obliged to go to Buffalo.
One week more, and poor Fred was
beeide himself with the ardent, all-pow
erful and pervading passion that Imd
possesed him. And this was not the
worst. He was sure that Isabel loved
him. He could oone^e not be mistaken. Her
very efforts to emotion , her
growing changing color timidity of her IjjK face reserve the droop- ; the
;
ing of the silken lashes; the soft dot
tering of the voice—ail, all told him
that she loved him. ‘

the morrow. He must rake the Albany
boat when it came down. She was star
tied ; and for a moment lost coutrol ot
herself; but while Fred talked of busi¬
ness engagements she recovered her
composure. But the remainder of the
evening passed sad and gloomy to both.
Fred was reticent and moody, while the
lady was evidently far from being happy,

gleamed ° in her eyes ; her bosom heav.

her cheek.

her hand to his lips in an impassioned
manner. • Sweet peace be thine!—
Thine be the victory—of—Lite—in

wife? Why had he loved her ? Why
had she loved him ?
The Albany boat came to the land¬
ing, and the gang plank was thrown
out,
* Hallo, Fred ; how’s this ? Where
you bound now ?’
‘ Eh ! Harry !’
* Yes—come, come ; none of this,
What does that portmanteau mean ;
goodness mercy, you are not bound off?
And just as I had promised Bella that
she should become acquainted with my
friend and paragon — my chum, my
Fred !’

‘Yes—my wife. Here, my Bella, here
is Mr. Farley, and I really believe he
thinks of deserting.’
Fred looked, and beheld, by Harry’s
side, a small, radiant, beautiful woman,
who smiled upon him, and put out her
hand aud said,
‘ Really, Mr. Farley, this is not friend

‘ Hold on,’ interposed Harry. ‘I have
a big authority by way of ownership
over this boat. II you I’ll have important

‘ First,’ whispered Fred, * what Isa¬

Woman’s incident Fidelity. —The related following’
touching is by a cor*
respondent ol the St. Louis Republican.
It is but one of a thousand of the inci¬
dents iu the everyday actualities of life,
which go to show the never dying devo*
tion of the female heart, which ‘hope*'
on-hopes-ever,' though the eyes that
patiently watches for the loved form
that they never may see, become dim
by their ceaseless and patient vigils*
and the ears that listen for that footstep
which first sent a thrill of joy to the
heart, that may never more be heard*
may ache and throb with pain in the
vain elfort to catch the gladsome sound.
May he who hears the young raven’s
cry, and watches the spai row’s fall*
protect that loved being and return hint
safe to the warm bosom whose agonies'
none may know but those who have
alike been exercised by the heart-sick¬
ening feeling of ‘ hope deferred.’ The
correspondent says:
I go down to the Hesperian to-day.
Even now we are gliding swiftly past
Doniphan, after having touched at the
wharf to take in passengers. As wee
paused pointed a momen fait r , a friend of inino
nut a young girl, with sun¬
ny hair and rose-tinted cheeks, who
leaned eagerly from a window, as if
gazing intently for some one whom she
anxiously expected. She saw none dis¬ \
others than the two or three who
embarked, and then, with a look of un¬
utterable disappointment, she turned
away and fled f rom sight.
My friend told me that thus she had
looked for days, and that the bloom was
fading from her cheek and 1 the fight
from her eye, with the passage of each
b uit; that lie who n she loved went
last year to the mountains, and promis¬
ed to return with the early spring; that
others, all others, who departed about;
that time had long since come back, bat
no tidings had be^n received of him,
and thus she felt the shock of each *ad
disappointment.
