Asa friend i.shali respect and esteem you ; but I cannot be your wife. Have com passion on me. and do not press me further.’ Mary Granville stood before me. as she spoke, with her hands clasped and her head bowed, trembling like an as pen, and as 1 fancied, there were tears in her eyes. She was a beautiful girl, and I had thought her as good *nd pure ?.s site was beautiful, and, further than this, 1 had believed that she loved me. She was an orphan, and had been engaged during the past year in teach ing one of our village Schools. Os her early life I knew nothing, save that she had been educated and moved in good society; snd I had reason to believe that at some time her parents h'ad been wealthy, but her father had failed in businets, and it had been told to me, that the sad reverse killed him. I had known that Mary was poor— that she was dependent on her daily labor for support, and the thought that I could offer her a comfortable home, with the advantage of moderate wealth, had given increase to ray piospective happiness. But this unexpected answer dashed all my bright hopes to the ground. ‘Do vou mean,’ ! cried vehemently, ‘That you dismiss me? Am 1 cast off?’ •I cannot be your wife,’ was the reply. ‘Then,’ said I, with more warmth than 1 might have betrayed under other curcumstances, 1 leave you to yourself, and while I try to shake off the love that has bound me to you, I will only hope that ere you lead another irto your net, vou will conclude beforehand whether you will keep him.’ She looked into ray face with a pain ful, frightened glance, but I did not stop to hear her speak further. 1 turned and left the house. 1 remarked that under other circum stances, I might have been more cool and collected in my speech; and what do you suppose, dear readers, the at tending circumstances were ? I’ll tell you candidly. I was a little heated with wine. I had drank just enough to warm my blood and give my brain an extra im pulse, and my words were not chosen, as I should have chosen them had the spirit of wine b«eM absent. As I walked toward my home, 1 „ , • * , . —w .U_. I l 1 fortunately escaped the snare of a co quette, and that I might be the better enabled thus to reason, I stopped at the hotel, where I found a few of my companions, and helped to dispose of a half a dozen bottles of wine. On the following morning I awoke with the headache, and when I called to mind the events of the preceeding evening, I was anything but fiappy. I began to realize how much I had loved Mary Granville, There was ao aching void in my heart, and 1 wept as I contemplated my loss. It was my first love, and its influence had pene trated every fibre in my being. The beautiful girl had become more dear to me than I could tell, and I groaned in bitter anguish when I thought that she was lost to me forever. 1 resolved that l should feel very angry and indignant, but when her sweet lace was called up to mental view, such feelings melted away, leav* ing me sad and desolate. On the following Sabbath I attended church, where I saw Mary once more. She played the organ as she had done the past vear, and as her fingers swept over the keys, I fancied that I could detect a tremulousness which I had never noticed before, Was it imagin ation, or was it really a plaintiveness— a sadness in the expression or her mu-ic, To me it seemed at times as though the organ moaned and wept. It was like the wailing of the daughters of Zion by the rivers of Babylon. When the service was over, and we went out of the church, I saw Mary’s face. It was pale and wan, as though she had been sick. What could it be? Was she suffering as I had suffered.— The thought flashed upon me that someone had told her something to my disadvantage, I had enemies who en vied me because I had inherited some wealth—and I fancied enemies who envied me the love of Mary Granville. Another week passed, and I became mote sad and lonesome. My business was irksome to me, and my books and papers afforded me no respite. In fact, 1 could not read, for my mind was never on the page before me. Another Sabbath at church and I saw Mary again. She was paler than before, and her eyes looked as though she had been weeping. During the succeeding week, I re received a visit from my college chum, Jack Stanton, who had just opened a ; law office at Berryville. After supper, | as we sat in our cosy parloi smoking i our segars, I suggested that a bottle of | wine would not be amiss, Jack shook his head. ‘No, Charley,’ he said, ‘we’ll leave the wine to those who need it.’ ‘You used to drink, Jack.’ •Yes, but it never done me any ‘And do you think it ever did you any harm ?’ •As to ihat, I will not say, but it shall never do me harm. I know it has harmed others as strong as I am. By-tb?-way, Charley, isn’t Mary Gran ville here'?’ ‘Yes,’ said !. ‘Do you know her?* I turned away my face and pretend ed to have heard something at the window. *1 have seen her,’ I replied, when I had composed myself. ‘She plays the organ in the church.’ ‘She and 1 were shoolmatpV pur sued Stanton ; ‘and speaking of wine brings her to my mind. Do you know anything of her early life ?’ ‘Nothing,’ I answered. “Poor Mary! I never think of her without feeling my resolutions of total abstinence grow stronger and stron ger. When we were school children together, her father was the wealthiest man in Berryville and she and her brother were among the happiest of the happy. Mr. Granville was in the habit of drinking wine, and the habit grew upon him until he could not go with out his brandy. ‘He was of a social disposition, and in time it came to pass that he was of ten grossly intoxicated. Os course, under such circumstances, one or two things must happen—the man must re form, or must sink. Mr. Granville did not reform, and ere many years he died a drunkard’s death, leaving his family in poverty and suffering. ‘Thomas, the son—four years older than Mary—became dissipated, and at the age of eighteen was killed in a street fight in New York. Mrs. Gran • ville survived hei sen but a few months —absolutely dying, the doctor said, of a broken heart. •Poor Mary, thus left fatherless and motherless, without brother or sister, at the age of fifteen, was forced to earn the bread she eat—and nobly has she done it. If you know her. Charley, you know one of the noblest women that ever lived. But—what’s the mat ter? Why, bless me, you look as pale as a ghost.’ I struggled hard with myself, and told Jack that I had swallowed a lot of cigar smoke. I rose and opening one of the casements, stepped out on the balcony; where the fresh air re stored me. , a [ate hour Jack departed for thy chamber, I paced to and fro until long after mid night. I could no longer misunderstand the motives which had actuated Mary, in rejecting my hand. She knew that I was in the habit of using wine, and or, that evening when we met, she must have discovered that 1 drank enough to bring a false flush to my cheek. “Oh, my God!’ I ejaculated, -as I sank into a chair, ‘I wonder not that she refused to place her future life in my keeping. She had suffered enough trom the accursed cup. The night of sorrow’ and dessolation has been long upon her. She would be worse than mad to take a husband, whose opening path in life led towards the pit into which the loved ones of other days had fallen.’ ‘But,’ l asked myself, ‘why did she not tell me the whole truth?’ I found no difficulty in answering the question. She had shrunk from wounding my feelings- I knew how sensitive she was, and I knew she was afraid of offending me. Perhaps she thought me proud and head strong enough te resent such liberty on her part, and perhaps she imagined I might look upon her as offering her hand in consideration of my renouncing the wine cup, and that I might spurn her offer. On Friday, Jack Stanton left me, and, on Saturday evening, I called at Mary’s boardinghouse, Mary herself answered my summons. She started when she saw me, and I saw her right hand move quickly towards her heart. “Mary, 4 I said, speaking calmly, for I had a mighty strength of will to sup port me, ‘I have not come to distress you ; I have come as a friend, and hunVbly ask that you will give me au dience for a few moments.’ She w’ent into the parlor, and I fol lowed her, closing the door behind me ; and when we were alone, she set the lamp on the table and motioned me to a seat. •No,’ said I, ‘I will n"t set down yet. Give me your hand, Mary.’ Mechanically, she put forth her Hands, and I took them in rav own.— There was a wondering look in her eyes, and a slight flash came to her pale cheeks. ‘Mary,’ I continued, speaking slow ly and softly, and I know that moisture was gathering in my eyes, ‘you must answer me one question. Answer it as you please, and take my solemn assurance that I ask it for your good. Tell me, do you love me? No, no, — do not take* your hands away yet. Answer me if you can. Fear not —O fear not; for I had rather go into end less night than do you wrong. Teli me, Mary, do you love me?’ ‘I cannot speak falsely,’ she trem blingly whispered; ‘for n»v own peace, perhao* I love yon too well.' ‘Listen to me lor one moment,* l added, drawing her near to roe, ‘when I have told you that which I hav* to tell, you shall be die judge.* She did not strive to free her hands, but looked up eagerly into my face, and her eye beamed with a hopeful light. ‘Yon know Jack Stanton?* I said. ‘Yes,’ she replied. ‘He was my best friend when wo were at college, and mv friendship ha* not grown less. He came to see me and told me the trials and sufferings of one of his schoolmates of his earlier days. Oh, Mary, 1 know well why my hand was refused, and I blame you not. It may be that our paths will be diflerent through life, but you shall at least know that ?te whom you have loved will <so live that he shall not be unworthy of kindest remembrance, t know that I have hitherto wandered into the path ol danger, but henceforth lam free trom the dreed snare. Un der the new light that has dawned upon me, 1 hold the wine cup to be * fearful eneinv. I will shun it as t would shun a shameful life and a clouded deathbed. For my own sake will f do ibis, so that my sainted moth er, it she can look upon her boy, can smile approvingly on the course he has ch »sen. •And now, Mary, if at some future time you should feel that you can trust your happiness in my keeping, you will give me some token thereof, and 1 wilt come and ask for your hand ; and sho*ld it be my blessed lot to re ceive it, I will devote every energy in my being to make your life a joyous and peaceful one. 1 let go her hand and bowed my head to wipe away a tear. I turned toward the door, really intending to depart and give her time for reflection, when she pronounced my name: [ looked back and her hands were stretch ed out towards me.* ‘Not now,’ I whispered. *1 will not ask rour answer yet. Watch me — prove me. Only give ine to know that l have your love.* I stopped speaking, for Mary's head had been pillowed upon my bosom, and she was weeping like a child. ‘Now ! now !’ she uttered, as I wound my arms around her. ‘Oh, Charles, I never doubted your truth. I know you cannot deceive me. God bless your noble resolution, and let me help you to keep it.’ I catinot tell how long I stopped that very happy, and that my prospects of the coming year were bright and glori ous. On the following day—a Sabbath calm and pleasant—the organ gave forth anew strain. The daughters of Zion were no longer in a strnage land. They had taken their harps downfiom the willows, and within tlie chamber of the new Temple, more resplendent far than the old, they sang the songs that aforetime made joyous the city of their God. All marked the grandeur of the music that sprang into life beneath the touch of the fairy organist on that beautiful Sabbath morning; and all seemed moved by inspiration. To me it was like the outpouring of a redeem ed soul, and with a bowed head and folded hands, 1 gave myself up to the sublime influence. As Mary turned front the instrument 1 caught her eye. Mine were dim w ith moisture, but her* were bright, gleaming with seraphic light. Ere many weeks had passed, anoib er hand passed over the keys of ilio organ, for Mary was not in the choit. She knelt before the alter by my side, and over us both the aged clergyman stretched his hands with prayer and blissing. And wc went out of church together —Mary and I—out in the new life— bound heart to heart and hand to hand, to love honor and cherish forevermore. DANGERS OF C HLOROFORM. The April number of the medical News and Library refates four cases of death from the inhalation of Chloro form. The first was of a lady, 20 years of age, living In Bloomington, Ulinoise. She was apparently in good health, but suddenly’ expired after in haling about a drachm of chloroform given for the relief of pain in the extraction of teeth. Three days pre viously she had inhaled chloroform and had six teeth extracted without any bad effect. The second case was on the occasion of the performance of an operation by Professor Hamilton, of New York. The patient was a robust woman. The third case was o* a man in the hospital at Toronto. Canada, to whom chloroform wns administered preparatory to tying the external iliac artery. The fourth case occurred in St. Mary’s Hospital, London. It was that ot a stableman, to whom chloro form was administered to faciliate th** reduction of a dislocated thumb. Thi* and the first mentioned case are additional proofs ot the correctness of a statement made a few days ago in our article on chloroform, that “by far the largest portion of deaths has oc curred in the most trival operations.” How long did Cain h: te Ins brothet ?
