“And she was bliod—that beautiful

and and not see ire watching Ler so closely.
She musi reprove mo 1 thought, by a
look, bat no the eyes took the direction
of the many voices about her, wander
ing now here, now there, but tu ver rest
ing on me. I had not rp ikeu.’’
The speaker paus. and. Fie was a man
of middle age and p'aiuly dressed, a
man of elegant taxt’s, keen, (pick and
ol servant, of men and matters One
gentleman who was with me, hud been
bantering Lim ah iut his single state,
aud had thougtlets’y wounded him.
It is n. t -afe to jest upon such mat
ters. Tne lip mav not tremble nor the
ey> grot? less steady, nor tho color flut
ter back from tho oaoeks, but sometime
our words press upon a buried thorn,
and the heart is probed and Ll.’eds anew,
Tho story might bavo been given for
our i*ttractive. I give it in his own
words.
I was a y ’nng man then, fredi
from the country. I had become
h’ad eletk in one of the first
firm-, in the city, and consequently felt
myself able to live, in what setmed to
me, good style. 51y fneud, Frank Ap
pleby, who had been my companion at
school and mv chum at college, met me
almost upon the moment of uiy arrival,
with the exclamation,
“I’ve got a capital lo’g’ngs a little
way cut of town—only been thcic a
w. ck, but its a splendid plac.', [ pr m iso
you 1”
So I went with him, and depo it and
my trunk in his room, which wss hand,
some and spacious, and tba r night as I
returned aud sat down to BJ| p r, af er
an introduction to the family, I first saw
Kmi y Houston. There were two
daughters. The house was kept by a
wilow, who ell her life bad been accus
tomed to the elegancies and refinmtnt
of wealth, until the death of her hus
band, five years bes -re. Since that
time, sl.o had supported herself by tak
ing gentleman boarders.
ivnily was the young st daughter;
the blind one, whom I have above de
scribed. Charlotte, the elder was far
less lovely, though some would have
called her beauty more striking [did
nut. As I said before, niy glances
toward Emi'y were so frequent as to
orll foi tk such return ks lroui Frauk Ap-
P'fT- . , „ r
‘•1 ne or saw to sweet a creature, 1
said f. rvootly.
‘ She is a dear little thing, wrs the
careless re’tj.i ns', aud between you and
me, 1 think she likes mo a liltle too
well ’’
I never sbtJl forget how I felt as be
stid this. A flush of ming’e) resent
ment an 1 contempt flaw to my cheeks;
it stemid sacrilege, to speak so lightly
of 8) beautiful a creature, Leslies 1
found that she had a deep imgrtsi'U
on my own imagination, and I renum
bered Jbow hor eyes had furred more
quickly at the sound of Frank’s voice,
than at any o’her, that even whon he
pasted her, she seined to know it, ti
look more etgerly, to listen more atten
tively. Eet ry day I bectinii more cu
uiuortd of this lovely girl, and it. pained
me inexpressibly to »ee Frank, as I
thought trill) wi'h her. He paid real
court to the more regal Charlotte, but
this vanity coul 1 n t with tand the
mute homage of hor sister. I often
watched them—watched till it almost
maddened tne , for I would have giv
en worlds fur one of these peculiar
smiles she always bestowed m Frauk.
Oi.e diy I saw him standing at the
door, which lei out upon a small plot
of garden grouud, now regal with full
trims in, and the deep hue if ibe trees,
whose branches leaned over the wall,
one arm was around her waist, with the
i ther, he was pressing lack the brown
wt.vv hair
‘•You have a remarkably beautiful
forheatl Emily,” he raid.
‘•Have I ? do you think so ? ‘ O’- I
am so glad 1 ’ she said artlessly
‘•NVhat makes you glad Emily ?’’ he
said ia the softest cf toaor.
“Because whatever you like in me,
makes me glad,” was the innoco.t reply
‘•That beau'iful song, “A ring of gold
she gave me,” “do you know I’ve Earn
ed that, because you said you liked it
so well—l can ting every Word of it.”
“C a You ?” said he '•Thank you
for learning it for mo, I will hear you
sing it this evening. Yes, he continued
still musingly, “you h ive a remarkaly
iotfll gep* Lrow ; I tbiuk you could
write poetry, little odo.
“Ah, if 1 to id but see you, I m r gh.’
was the low, swcot reply.
“Well, w Ihlirrce’ a coafe-sioi»,”said
Frank, laughing lightly,yet from where
l stood I saw his cheek flish with
plcatur’. “Now, how do y.-u suppose
i look r
‘•Ob, I have heard often,” said the
innoceut creature. Sister Lottie has
told uie that you have black curling hair
anti black eyes. And I think as loot tie
says, you n u-t be very handsome.”
‘•Oh. ves, I’m a pri digously h tad-tome
fellow,” said Frank, coticti edly, laugh
ing as he sp ke. “Do you think, little
one, that tester Littio likes mo pretty
wel\”
“How can sbo help it?” a>kcd the
blind girl, lifting ter glowing, but
sightless eyes towards him.
If ever my blood boil.-d, it did then,
as I saw him lean over aud kiss her—
if ever I wanted to give that arrant
kuave and puppy a shaking, I tlid then.
A blush mantled her puto checks—a
s uile deepened ill! Uiuiplos around her
lips.
“Fiunk,’’ I exclaimed, indignandv,
a ft w moments afterwards, “you ought
to b<’ fs’tunu'd us yourself 1”
“Wtiatdo yo i mean T’ be asked’
looking s tm what guilty as bo spoke.
“Vki are doing haitn, Ftanlt,” I said,
“in leading that poor blind «irl lo lovo
you It is a cruel thing. Yon w ill pay
dearly f.r i: sinio day, mark what I
s»y.”
“I’shaw ; he exclaimed, half angrilv.
“llow the deuce am I to help the girl’s
liking me? If she will bo buvli a fool,
why lot In r!’’
•‘You eneoirago her to love you
Frauk,” 8 ii /; “you know you do,
both by words ami actions.”
‘ l\,oh ! you are jealous, be sneered.
“N-, Frank, n,.t j- aleus, for / have
ni claims upon her. Would to Heav

Tnat r ight we all went to the opera.
Emily was passiouate'y fond of music,
and she enjoyed it the more from the
seine of her isolation in the uiid-t of
crowds. We t ied to get a b"X togeth r
but could not, and l did not know exact

hind us were two who in tho pause of
music talked almost inceenently. Emi

sounds which I et uld not distinguifdi,
and noticing suddenly her tiugulor pal

the wi-rdf, —
“Dh, yes, engaged to bo married. He

on L's face, a vivid light iu his eye as

Poor Emily '• By acei lent her hand
came in contact with mine. Death
could not have been eoldtr. Over her
beautiful eyes a mist seemed drawn.
She shuddered, aud no longer listened

Wholly unaccu t uned to conceal her

At th" first favorable nppo tmlty we
withdrew, and were soon sested in ihe

If it had been my lot to have received

“F oni two gentlemen who snt rear

‘ \Vhui was it,my dear?” asked her
mother.
•'Why, Emily acted so strangely
last night!” said Charlotte, looking
curiously ut me. “She sprung up
suddenly, and I almost thought she
was going to jump over into the pit.—
Her face wns as while as u sheet.”
At that moment Emily entered. Pho
could not have slept all the long night
through. Her young face wore a hug
L-ai'd look, and her usually s'ow g:a ei
l'ul step seemed languid now
look her acouetcrned place lies tie her
mother, who spoke to her tenderly. l»u*
whon she answered, her lip quivered.
Frank Appleby saw it, and made u
hasty breakfast, excusing himself soon
er than was his won,. I, to, went,
but not be'oro I saw Lottie, wi’b a
'ook of great concern on hor features,
go up to her sister and \vhisj>or to
i er.
Üb, the lietirtaenets 1 had lo gaze
upon after that—that marble face, so
colorless, so wan with tho beaut ful
hope-light blottoJ out She now seem
ed uneasy and unhappy if she knew
Frank was near, and equally unbapiy
f he wan absent.
At last she did not come down to
her men’s. Her strength seemed to
desert her, and mutely, uneomplnihing
and sightless, she was going down to
the tomb. Every day s;be grew more
saintly, every day more inexpressibly
dear to me who knew tbe cause of her
malady
O.ieevcing I noticed a peculiar
expression on the countenance ol Char
lotte Houston. Her lace was very
stern, and I surmised that there bad
been some misunderstanding between
Frank Appleby and herself; and 1
was right.
During Emily’s childhood she had
learned to write, guided of course by
an implement to which the blind have
recourse, and she wrote with astonish
ing acciiry. It seems thnt Emily had
asked her sis er to bring her a eet tain
little box from her private drawer.—
Charlotte compile !, but finding some
scraps of poetry of a peculiar charac
t> r which had been rend to her sister,
Charlotte felt justified in opening the
box, and there she learned the secret
of Emil y ’s sorrow.
At first resentment filled her soul,
and then came anguish Had the nv n
whom she had loved and honored
w iih her confidence done this thing?
Would any man possessing n spark ol
principal win the effoetiuns of u bel|»-
less blind girl ?
Slowly passed tho aronir.’ng days
and w eeks Frank nnd I scarcely
spoke to each othi r; 1 could not act

Emily was growing worse, that there
was no hope of her recovery. I saw

who grew rich by controlling tho tur

every stratagem that interest or craft

At last the Onondagas now completely

source of certain, though future ruin.
Distrust filled their uiinde, and ere
