FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 17, 1873.
THE THREE HOMES;
OR,
THE GOVERNESS’S BROTHER.
We were poor and proud.
I can just remember the time
when the blow fell (though I was
too young to realize its significance)
that demolished my father’s fortune,
and reduced us all to the long, hand-
to-hand struggle of Poverty and
Pride. I grew up in daily cogniz
ance of the thousand shifts and
shams by which we strove to hide
the bai renness of our resources, and
sought to appear as if ample means
were still in our possession. I dai
ly listened to falsehoods from my
mother’s lips, heard false words, and
saw falser smiles that never reached
her eves, which I remember always
cold, greedy, glittering and unbeau
tiful in expression, as the}' were love
ly in form and color,
I saw the frown upon my father’s
brow, and heard his bitter reproach
es, whenever, by chance or intent,
our meagre faro was increased by
some unwonted luxury, our fires
burned too brightly, or the house
bills came in heavier than usual.
And yet when gnests were with us,
he was the courtly man of the world,
smiling, gay. and profuse in his prof
fers of hospitality, sparing neither
larder nor wine-cellar, though him
self and family were afterward pinch
ed for necessaries until the cost of
these luxuries were replaced.
While we were childi'en, these
things made little impression upon
us ; but as we grew up to man’s and
woman’s estate—my brother and
myself—we constantly rebelled a-
gainst the petty tyrannies, the pri
vations that bought our hollow splen
dor, and the thousand tricks and
falsehoods which, even if we took
no active part in them, lay heavy on
our consciences, because. we were
forced to consent to them in silence.
I shall never forget the flush of
indignation that would sometimes
rise over my brother’s white brow
when our parents were more than
usually pretentious. I shall never
forget* the untold agonies I have suf
fered, lest our visitors should dis
cover the hollowness of my mother’s
bland courtesies. I sometimes think
that, had I known, as I know now,
that she was perfectly understood,
and that our best friends, by pro
fession, often amused themselves in
trying to draw her out, I should have
died with shame. Ah, well! death
would have come welcomely more
than once in the course of those
miserable years! Yet I have learn
ed to be grateful and bless God
since, for the prolonged life that,
with a few joys, has been so full of
suffering!
It was in such a home as this
that we passed our childhood, aud
approached adult age. I, however,
was only entering my teens when
mv brother went away.
A distant relative—in pitv for the
boy, I believe, more than from any
desire to aid my father, whom he
must have despised—offered to pro
vide for my brother’s education and
establishment in life. So Frederick
went away, never to return to us
again as an inmate, aud only at rare
intervals as a guest.
Several years passed away. Through
much scheming and manoeuvering I
had received a tolerable education,
superficial and showy enough, but
far better than the utter lack of cul
ture which might have been mine,
had not my mother looked upon the
hardly saved sums expended for
this pui-pose as an investment likely
to bring large returns when I should
be brought into the matrimonial
market.
The years devoted to study were
monotonous, but peaceful. I lived
apart from the family with my gov- |
erness, a young lady whom, because,
on account of an incurable disease,
was unable to procure any other
situation, my mother had taken in
to our home out of what she called
charity.
It grieves me to speak thus of her
to whom I owe my life ; but the ef
forts of poor Emily Lauing were but
ill repaid by the scanty food obtain
ed from our table, and the meagre
sums that served scarcely to supply
her simple wardrobe, Few servants,
in fact, would have been content
with the wages ray mother averred
that she thought quite sufficient for
all Emily’s weary hours of toil. But
Emily never complained, and I be
lieve she was thankful for a refuge,
and that my affection soothed many
an hour of pain, and smoothed the
slow, gradual path that led onward
toward her grave. For she died in
my arms, and with bitterness of
spirit that was utterly incredulous
of any balm, I lamented her; as next
to my darling brother, mv truest
friena, and the only person who had
shed brightness upon my wretched
home since Frederick left its roof.
When she was gone I felt bereaved
and desolate, and for days, that
lengthend intp weeks, I refused to be
comforted. Nevertheless, there was
—one blessed hope which, like all
that made my life endurable, I felt
that'I owed to her. And yet its
V fruition seemed very, very distant.
While Emily Lauing lived with us,
she was, from time to time, visited
by her brother Charles. This broth
er, her sole remaining relative, Em
ily loved with an intensity of affec
tion almost painful to witness in one
sp frail aud feeble. She welcomed
him with transports of delight that
cost her horn's of pain.aud suffering
in their re-action upon her disorder
ed nerves; aud when he left her,
each time a portion of her life, her
very vital essence, seemed to accom
pany him, either exhausted by her
sorrow, or borne along with the anx
ious tenderness of the thoughts that
followed his career.
Charles Lauing was worthy even
of this devotion—the chief earthly
regard of one of the purest, most an
gelic of beings, all of whose emotions
seemed sublimated and refined by
suffering. He was brave, strong,
handsome, proud, noble—as near
perfection as mortal ever comes. So
believed Emily, and so another, hear
ing his praises from a fond sister’s
lips, looking upon his splendid man
ly beauty, knowing valiantly he
maintained his protracted hand-to-
hand struggle with adverse fortune,
learned early to believe.
Chai'les Lauing was poor, aud,
! with the world all before him, had
| yet to win, in the unpitving struggle
j of life, name and fortune. That lie
: would do this neither Emily normy-
! self, doubted. And we often sat
with our hands clasped in his, aud
listened to the recital of his hopes
and efforts, the sister’s pale face
glowing with all her earnest love,
mine, I know, reflecting every pass
ing emotion depicted upon his hand
some features.
Those were very happy hours,
that occurred at rare .intervals dur
ing the years of Emily’s sojourn with
us, and I prized them only less than
she. My mother, absorbed in her
schemes and plans, had apparently
never dreamed of danger to me from
the visits of Charles Laning. And
while I lived surrounded by the gol-
den-hued atmosphere of youthful
love, she was restlessly planning
to secure me an unexceptionable
husband, on my entrance into socie
ty-
I was nearly eighteen on the occa
sion of Charles Laning’s last visit.
My birth-night was to be signalized
by a ball, that was to introduce me
into society, and my mother had
long been absorbed in the prepara
tions for this event, which required
finesse and talent enough to furnish
a first-rate diplomat, or cabinet
minister, and I was left unusually to
myself.
Nevertheless I was for once want- !
ed while Charles Laning was with !
us: We sat—Emily, Charles, and !
myself—beside the little fire in the
apartment which was our school and !
sitting-room—sat with clasped hands,
listening and speaking as such friends ^
will, after long absence. Emily’s ,
head rested upon her brother,s breast ■
I sat on a low stool at his feet, and j
leaned upon his knee—the hand!
that had stolen round Emily’s waist!
clasped mine, the other rested ca- i
ressingly upon my head, as he look
ed down into my face, speaking with \
his eyes love-tales that his proud I
lips would not utter, reading in re- I
turn, perhaps all he wished to know, j
for words had never syllabled our j
hearts' secret, when mv mother sud- j
denly threw open the door, and |
stood regarding us—surprise, anger, i
contempt, all visible in her pinched i
and haughty features.
Np thought of wrong had eversul-j
lied the purity of my intercourse ;
with Charles Laning until that mo- ■
ment. I blushed then, not in shame ;
of any actor feeling of my own, but |
of my mother’s ungenerous suspi
cions. Completely overwhelmed, I
submitted to be led from the room
to my own apartment. I heard
words of scorn and anger, I felt my
self thrust violently upon the bed,
then I was alone.
My mother turned the key in the
lock, and the next moment I heard
her voice, loud and angry, from the
room where the brother and sister
still remained. Presently Charles
Laning came forth. As he passed
my door I heard him say:
“You will not visit any unconscious
wrong of mine upon the dead of my
innocent sister, I ti'ust, madam. If
I have erred in my silent love of Al
ice, it was surely no fault of hers.
If I had a home j would instantly
remove her to it, but poverty com
pels me to permit her to stay for the
E resent beneath the roof where my
onor has been doubted; but you
may rest assured that not even her
presence could induce me to come
again beneath its shelter.”
I could fancy his proud look as he
said this, and my mother’s shifting
glances, as his eye rested upon the
face where mean thoughts had left
so many traces. She made no reply,
and Charles passed rapidly on. I
heard his tread upon the stair, the
clang of the outer door, and then 1
sprang to the window and looked
down upon the gravel walk, along
which his. tall figure wag rapidly re
treating.
Once only he turned, and gazed
for a moment at the windows of the
house. He saw me, waved his hand
kerchief in adieu, lifted his hat, and
then turned away. Years passed be-,
fore I saw him again.
A month later I received Emily’s
dying breath. The shock of her broth
er’s dismissal had exhausted her lit
tle strength, and had my mother in
tended to send her away, she could
not have done so, for, fr om that day,
she never left the bed upon which,
four weeks later, she breathed her
last. My mother had forbidden all
communication with Charles Laning
but I sent him Emily’s dying mes
sages, together with the few lines
penned by her trembling hand. Af
ter the letter was sent I told my
mother, for I W uild not do anything
secretly, though I had not hesitated
to disobey in this one instance. When
his answer came, thanking me for all
my care, and, guarded as it was,
showing how dear I was even in his
hours of desolation, I showed it to
my mother. She said nothing, which
was wise, perhaps, in her sense of
worldly wisdom, for I might easily
have been induced by opposition, to
a continuance of the correspondence.
But for years this was our last com
munication.
My mother dragged me on an end
less round of gayetics. We often had
company in the house, and often
went on long visits to our neighbors
and distant acquaintances. So much
of our life as could be hidden from
the observation of others was meagre,
mean, comfortless; that which pass
ed in public, if not splendid, was lux
urious. Sometimes my detestation
of the artifices and subterfuges of
i this life of ours broke all bonus. I
j would say bitter, scornful words to
; my parents, receive taunts and re-
• proaches in return, and then, almost
j wishing to die, almost envying Emi-
j ly’s calm, dreamless sleep beneath
! the green church-yard mound, I
! would rush away to weep out my
; shame and agony in the solitude of
i my own room, or in the silent woods
! that skirted my father’s domain. Ou-
! ly a proud, frank spirit like my own
I can imagine what I suffered.
At length the suitor my mother
| had so long songht was found. I re
ceived my instructions, and, inward
ly rebelling, was paraded before him,
along with a half score of debutantes,
and elderly young ladies, in a coun
try house where we chanced to have
j been invited, to meet him. as I have
! no doubt.
I Mr. Marston was a plain, spare
man offortv, a bachelor and immense
ly rich—in short, “a great catch,” in ; my retreat.
from iny unhappiness. Our splen
did house was closed, silence reign
ed in the magnificent drawing-rooms,
and lofty halls over whose tesselated
floors no sound of footfall echoed.
Only in the servants’ rooms, and in
| the apartments of the invalid, were
there the sounds of human habita
tion. I saw no one, not even the
friend of my youth, but in solitude
awaited the coming of the Destroyer.
Conscience assailed me with bitter
pangs that I had returned coldness
for the love of him who lay dying,
und forever thundered “perjurer r
and “false wife!” within my ear. In
my early home I had been miserable,
but I was not less so amid the splen
dors I had purchased by false vows.
At length I was free. The eyes
that had only looked on me with love
were closed forever. The splendid
funeral had gone from my door, and
the rich man had been laid beneath
the marble for once truthful in its
tale of human virtues. I was alone,
and mistress of all that had been his.
I could not, would not make a
pretence of vain grief for the dead.
But my morbid dislike of society,
my reproachful conscience, my bitter
self-accusations drove me from the
haunts of my kind. Obstinately re
fusing to see any but my man of busi
ness, I remained only till necessary^
forms had been complied with, and
then fled to the solitude I had chosen.
Three years passed before I re
turned to the city. I came back a
wiser, and I trust, a better woman,
calmer, more hopeful, better discip
lined, with a firmer religious faith.
I had found peace and rest in soli
tude, and a solution of many of my
doubts in the conversation of the
excellent clergyman whose family
had been my sole associates during

I re-entered the society that, with

I did not dislike Mr. Marston on : Charles Laning, now a world-fa-
acquaintance. On the contrary, his j moiis man, held himself quite aloof

greatly, and I became fond of his

of rage on hearing this. Bitterly

cepted him. I was sure of his love.
I knew him to be a man of fastidious
honqr, of great refinement., and be
lieved that life with him would be in-
fiuitely preferable to that I was forced
to lead beneath the roof of my pa
rents.
God forgive me for the wrong I
did a loving heart! I perjured my
self at the altar ; ttud gave but the
outer semblance of the duty for the
love I promised! And he learned it
all too soon, a knowledge that traced
deep lines upon his brow, aud thread
ed liis dark locks with silver. He
was in the prime and vigor of life
when I became his wife, yet in less
than two years he was changed to an
old man, feeble and decrepid, and I
was the causej
I strove very hard to do rightly,
to let the most dutiful care and at
tention to all his wishes take the
place of the love I could not give.
But his heart refused to be satisfied
with this, aud yet no word, or look
o| rejwach ever accused me as the
destroyer of his happiness.
We lived in the city which, for
years, had been the home of Charles
Laning, who was now rapidly ris
ing into eminence as a writer, and we
often met him in society. I think
my husband detected something of
the feelings that I smothered, but
could not quite repress. He had
heard from my own lips of my early
connection with the young author,
and often heard us converse of the
dead girl whom we had both so fond
ly loved. But he manifested no
jealousy, nor showed any want of
trust in wife or friend; yet I doubt
not now, the iron entered his soul
when he saw us meet with as much
of the ancient demonstration of re-
f ard as befitted our altered relations.
believe from that time he longed
for death to remove’ him—the only
obstacle to the happiness of her
whom he loved so well that life it
self were not too great a sacrifice for
her sake.
He fell ill. Through all his ling
ering, mortal sickness I nursed him
tenderly, and truly; in those fearfnl
hours of patiently-borne suffering, I
learned to love him better than ever,
before. I loathed the society to
which before I had flown as a refuge
have built near Emily’s burial place.
The green mound that covers her
last resting-place, with the slender
wliite shaft that points skyward
: above it, is the shrine of many a
loving memory, and the altar at
which we renew our evef-living affec
tion.
The last of my three homes with
its simple comforts, with its blessed
atmosphere of love and peace, Ls my j
haven of rest—my true home, where
neither care nor fear intrudes,—
there is uo shadow of poverty, nor
gleam of splender; but only modest
luxury and a shutting out of the
strifes and struggles of the great
world, which while there we forget,
or remember only with pity, that all
who compose it are not happy as
ourselves.
