X \ t \ I. fiiadwsritlc SetaW. 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 A. J.

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. 4 GENTS FOR BRADLEY S PHOSPHATE. 2A.
