Her dark oyos overflowed with tears.
’>“-““-“*““*11 iA the old
and hor memory went liable to
homo of her childhood, the great ram
bling cottntry-liouso In Ohio, with its
spacious booms, and hlazuig flres, and
largc-boartcd hospitality. She could
sco tho old garden, with Its winding
borders and bool retreats, and catch
the sweet odor of tho pinks, nnd tho
drowsy murmur of the heos j nnd tlioro
was tho lvoodhiiic-arbor, beneath which
she and Barry had sat so often togeth
er. Bow wall she remembered one
avening above all otliors—an evening
Inlloynl Juno—the nlr licavy With spi
cy odors, nnd a foil moon pouring
down its glorifying light upon tho
snowy billows of orchard bloom, nnd
the long hedges of crimson roses,
weighed down by their own intense
perfume. On that evening she had lis
tened to tho story that has been so of
ten repeated, but which never grows
old. ‘{Maud, my darling, I love you
—will you bo uiy.wifo?” She recalled
tho very words, she seemed to hear his
dear voice, and see his tender eyes.—
The engagement ring was still upon
her finger, just as lie put it there that
night, and beside it another, even yet
more saered, her wedding-ring.
And thi? stormy, desolate night was
tho anniversary. Six years ago, and
the old homestead in Ohio had rung
with music nnd revelry., , Every win
dow blnzed with light, and every broad
hearthstono glowed witli flaming logs.
For on that night, robed in white, and
adorned with blossoms as spotless and
sweet as her own virgin heart, Maud,
sole daughter of house and heart, and
hello wherover sho went, became
brido.
Bidding farewell to tho old home,
nnd tho old friends in Ohio, Maud went
forth with her husband, thenceforth
nnd for ever, to bo the light of his
home In the neighborhood of New
York.
Ono year, one short, sweet happy
year, that wont by like some rare, rich
melody, without a single note of dis
cord to brenlc its divine perfection, and
then tho trouble came. Tho bare re
membrance of it blanched the wife’s
cheeks, and made her breath coma in
quick, pninful gasps. At the close of
that short, linppy year of her wedded
life, her husband received information
concerning the.illness of ail only broth
cr residing in California. Ho was dy
ing of a slow, but sure disease, nnd
wished to see his,brother's faeo once
more. Harry Merlin did not hesitate
an instant; tho path of duty was plain
—he must go. Maud'entreated to he
permitted to nccompany. him; but lie
was inexorable. Tlio risks and hard
ships wero too great.
Loft alone, Mand was not tho wotainn
to give, way to despondency; it was
her nature nlways to keep her faeo to
tho sun. Sho kept herself busy with
tlio duties of her household, and at
last tho dreary days went by, and ti
dings, from Harry came, no was safe
at ids journey’s end, but Ills brother
was dead, leaving Harry, however, tile
inheritor of a considerable fortune.—
Just ns soon as his business-matters
could he arranged, Harry wrote, lie
would start for home. Soon after a
second post cninc, bringing intelligence
that Harry,, la company with a party
of brother-travelers, had set out, tak-
Ing the overland route.
Mand counted tlio days with throb
bing Impatience, the parting had been
so long; sho so pinod to see his dear
face, nnd, hear ids voice once more.—
Sho worked from morn till night, fill
ing tlio rooms with little ornaments,
and getting up little surprises against
his return. Sho cultivated the flowers
ho loved, olid sang tlio ballads ho ad
mired ; never did woman count the
passing momeuts with such lbviug ex
pectation. At last the day came.—
She liad received ho furtlior intelli
gence, but she felt sure tliat ho would
come. The evening was in spring, ge
nial and balmy, their little homo a wil
derness of blossoms. She prepared a
banquet with her own hands; sho
adorned tlio rooms with tho flowers ho
loved; and oven laid out his dressing
gown and slippers. Then she went to
tier chamber, and pat on tlio dress ho
likod to see her woar—a mauve, silk,
with dainty laces at tbo throat and
wrists, and jet nnd gold ornaments ;
her flossy, brown hair hold bnck by
sprays of heliotrope nnd sweet verbe
na. Surveying herself in the mirror,
she smiled nnd blushed, remembering
his words when sho had first worn the
dress.
“ Oil, Maud I you aro so beautiful,
always wear this dress, darling, when
you wish to plcnso me.’’
The May sun sank lower,and lower,
mid at last went down, leaving tlio
earth wrapt in the dusky mists of twi
light. Maudbegan to grow impatient.
She lit the lamps in tho parlor, and
then went out to the porch to wait. He
surely would come; he would not dis
appoint her 1 The golden tints of day
faded : like tlio colors of a dream; the
stars came out one by one in tlio hazy
luster-of tlie sky; and then the mooil
— - — »"4 arose, coming up grandly abovo the
iracUco in Chcrokco Circuit nnd D. S. Din- nurn | 0 steeps- Still he had not come,
janO-ly aurt tho ppor .wifo’fl heart began to
grow sick with hope deferred. An-
other hour, arid then, above the mur-
morons music of the night, sho heard
a sharp stop upon the gravel, and start
ed to her feet, ilhslied and breathless ;
but the next instant she fell back pale
with-dlsoppointmolit, for tlio step was
not his—sho knew that long before tho
person came in sight. . He advanced
toward the porch where sho sat with a
slow, uncertain step; observing which
and recognizing him as ono of her' love
neighbors, sho advanced to meet him.
“ Mr. Rutherford, is it you ? I nm,
looking for my husband. Wbat do
you think can detain him
Tho gantleman stood still, Ids faeo
full of silbnt, unspcaknhlo pity. Some
thing. in its expression caught her
quick eyes, and sho sprang forward and
grnspod Ids nrm.
“ Mr. Ruthorford, you tiring mo
tidings? Spoak; don’t keep mo In
suspense!’’
Still the gontloman was silent.
“ Oh, sir 1’’ sho entreated, “don't
trifle with my fooling.*. Do you
know anything concerning my lins-
huiul ? if you do, for moroy’s sake,
speak out!”
“Madam, I have, hoard—that is,
there is had news,’’ lie began, his voice
husky and broken.
Her face grew white as death; but
her eyes wero clear and calm, ami lior
hand Blrong as she grasped his arm.
“Sir, if you pity mo, toll mo tho
worst atonoo; I can hear it.”
“ Well, madam, your liusbnml ar.d
Ids party liavo boon waylaid and mnr-
derod by tho Indians.
“ All ? Did nono escape ”
“Not olio!”
Sho turned' sharply, leaving him
without a word ; and ho saw hor enter
tlio house, and close the door after her
—and that was tho end. Ho would
never come back any more, no matter
how patleijtly sho might wait and
watch! Ho would never know that lie
had a son—nover look upon the little
chubby face, with Its bold, blue eyes
and sunny curls, so like Ids own I From
henceforth her heart and homo wore
desolate.
And this was the anniversary of her
wedding-day. Six years ago, and she
wap a happy liride. Five years Blie
had been a heart-broken widow. Her
boy slept in his little lied, and she sat
tlicro thinking, thinking and gazing,
out at the low leaden sky, and tlio wind
tossed trees. The night was closing
in rapidly—a night of storm and
darkness. Tho rain oamo down in
groat shoots; and tlio wild, wailing
winds rushed round tho gabies, and
went shrieking over the hills liko hu
man souls in agony. Hor heart ached
with a desolation that seemed almost
insupportable. Life was so hard; yet,
for tlio hoy’s sake, sho must endure
nnd live on.
Sho looked down at her snhio gar
ments with hot, blinding tears. Six
years ago, and she was rolled in gems
and blossoms. His face, his very
voice, seemed to come hack to her;
and she fancied that his spirit must
bo near her. No matter how high
above her, how happy? she knew that
lie loved her still, and ills glorified spir
it may have left its homo of bliss to
koqn with hor that saered anniversary.
The fancy consoled her hoyond*cxprcs-
slon. Sho glanced oyar..at the sleep
ing hoy, with n <tim hope that his fath
er ioved nnd watched over him. Then
a sudden impulse shot across her mind;
sho would not keep tlio anniversary of
her wedding-day in hor garments of
widowhood ; she would put on the robe
lie loved. If he knew aught of her
poor, sad life, ho should see how Bn-
ercdly sho remembered and observed
his simplest wishes.
Stealing to her chamber, sho took
out the mauve Silk, ami the dainty la
ces, growing yellow aud time-worn,
nnd tho pretty jqt and gold ornameuts,
and arrayed herself as in days gone
hy; and the old bloom came hack: to
her cheeks, and tiie brightness to her
oyes; aud she seemed to drop her
years and her widowhood, and to
spring out afresh into the rare beauty
of her early maidenhood. Tims nr-
rnyed, she went down softly, and seat
ed liereelf heforo tho blazing (ire, her
faeo tearful nnd expectant. If his soul
wore near—nnd sho clung to the ‘nope
that it was, as she clung to ilfo—he
should see how tenderly she remember
ed him.
Tho anniversary night wore on, wild
and dark with storm; aud still the poor
wife, Half dazed hy her terrible sor
row, sat hj' her lonely hearth-stone,
robed in her festive garments. At last
there enrao a step without—a sharp,
impatient step on the gravel; but she
did not hoar it. A weary, travel-worn
man, bronzed by exposure, nnd pale
with long endured grief, ;;«nmp up to
tho front entrance, and paused be
neath the low window. Through tlio
parted, curtains sliono tlio ruddy fire
light, revealing, the warm, attractive
room—the old, familiar room, with his
lint npon the wall, nnd ids hooks and
meerschaum on tho mantle, unmoved
ns lie had left them—revealed- the
dear, sweet face, wet with tenrs, nnd
tho dress ho loved in happy days, that
seemed too far back to the poor wan
derer to be real. Was it all a dream?
Was that the wife from whom lie had
so long been parted, whoso face Imd
been present with him through nil his
lonely hours of pel’ll and imprisonment?
Was sho waiting nnd watching, and
keeping ids home bright for his return?
Ho left the window, stole softly to
the porch, and’approached the door.—
Bo'raised llie lnteh: it opened; and ho
stood upon the threshold;
Intent, upon her own mnsings, her
own sweet. memories, nnd sad reflec
tions, Maud; heard no sound. Her
heart was, far back with her .Husband
she had loved so well. Tlio old dress
had revived, old associations, nnd his
very presence seemed around and about
hot. She looked np with clasped
hands and streaming eyes.
“ Oil, Harry,1 oh, ; my husband I" sho
murmured; “ if you know how I lovp.
you—how I mourn your loss, surely
your soul might speak to mine, and
tell mo that you are near mo I”
“ Maud, ray wife, my darling 1”
She started to hor feet, witli a w.on-
dering, weary, changed from tlio man
he had been, hut tbo wife recognized
him in an instant. For a moment, a
solemn awe filled her eyes, nnd her
li08itated ar.d trembled in the
preseneq of n spirit from tlm other
world; but tho noxt instant sho hold
him in tier arms witli a wild cry.
" Oil, Harry, ,my husband, you aro
not dead; you linvo como bnok to mol! 1
His passionate hfsses on her face, his
strong arms and throbbing heart, an-
swured her ns lip words could have
done. Ho had como hack to ,hgr from
impri80ninont amid tlio wild westorn
mountains,‘from purilp nud dangers,
and doatli itself.
For n Ilttlo while after plio Imd Heard
his story, and fully assured herself
that lie was really flesh and blood, and
not a spirit, ns sho had first helloved
him, she lay quietly woeping on his
bosom; then she arose, with n solemn
tondcrncss in hor eyes; and lending
him up-stairs to tlio bedroom, drew
aside the curtains of tlio couch, reveal
ing tho little face, flushed and dimpled,
in slumber, nnd tlio small, chubby flats
fast eilnohcd togctlicr.
Harry fllorlln looked on without a
word; then, bending down ho kissed
the little sleeper with a Joy and thank
fulness in ills soul too deep for utter
ance;
And on this stormy night, after wea
ry years of imprisonment amid bar
barous hordes—after having endured
trials nnd hardships, and almost death
itself, this was how Harry Morlin came
