KEEPING TRYST.
BY C. D. CLARK.
The tbaves of the maples were changivg
fast as the autumn winds came sighing
over the lake, yellow, orange and red, ex
cept where the dark green of the hemlock
and-the pine was to be Been standing out
boMly among the lighter hues. Under the
trefe6,hand in baud, two strayed on, seeing
nothing around them, only conscious that
they lived and loved. Two such lovers as
those who
“Walked under the olive trees
Shading the walls of an ancient town
Long ago ; as with gold and purple
Cauopied bravely—the sun Went down.”
She was fair and delicate, a tender, shrink
ing flower, such as strong tfleil are apt to
love and' cherish. Bine eyes, tender and
true , a delicate mouth, which seemed to
invite kisses, and then had hardly the cour
age to return them. He, tall, dark and
stately, a Saul among his fellows, with an
eye of inspiration, and a look which spoke
defiance to all the world. His bold eyes
were not stern to her, but looked down
• upon her with a sort of mournful tenderness,
for he loved her then, whatever, she might
have cause to say in the after days.
“Do you love me, Muta F’ he said, in a
i deep rich voice. “Can you be faithful to
me while I go out, and work a future ibr
you arid for me ?'’
“Always, Andrew j you shall prove me,
and see if 1 am falselor true.”
So Andrew Matsel left his home beside
the lake, and the farm where he had been
born and bred, and went out into the world.
The world received him as an acquisition
of which it might be proud, and he fought
■his way to fame aud honor. When three
years had gone by, he was known far and
wide as an inspired painter—a man whose
soul was in his work, and whom no wo
man’s love could* tempt from his chosen
profession. Muta Fairchild, in her quiet
country home, waited and watched for his
coming ; but he never came. His letters
grew colder, and he never now spoke of the
happy time when he could call her hisdars
ling wife. He kept the letter of his con
tract well, forgetting that in giving of
hearts there can be no rigid rule to bind
them. All this time the love of & true man
followed Muta, the love which could know
uo change, and who had learned the truth
of the wise saying of the poet—“ Suffer, and
beatroDg.”
George Foster had loved her too# but
knowing that her heart was given to An
: drew, ate his heart in silence, and gave no
sign. Yet be worshipped the ground she
trod, and if it had beeu his fortune to call
her wife, would have almost lost his hope
of heaven for her sweet sake. As the ytira
went by, and she felt that Andrew Matsell’s
loVe was a thing of the past,' she grew thins
ner, and George could not bear to see her
pining* He went to New York and lound
Matsell in his studio, bending over a pic
ture of the Madonna. And what, think you,
be bad taken for his model ? What, but a
portrait of Muta, which he had painted long
ago, before his pencil had been aided by
the work of the old masters. Foster saw
this, and gave a little gasp, and then fought
it down bravely,' as an honest man should:
“You are busy, Mr. Matsell,” he said.
“Not so busy that 1 have not a moment
to spare for ahold friend,” replied Matsell’,
laying doifm the pallette and brush.' “The
sight of your face, somehow, takes me back
to the old times at home# when you aud 1
were boys together, George. Shake hands,
old friend ’’ ,
“I could not think you could be hard
hearted, Andrew,” said Matsell, eagerly ;
“but, how pale you are—don’t you work
too hard V
“I work hard, because I must have occu
pation,” replied Matsell, with that BlraDge
look in his eye which speaks of weariness.
“I am tired, though surfeited with pleas*
ures of nil kinds. ‘Pleasures which wear
upon the heart and the soul.’”
“You can mend this,” said George, for
getting, in the warm welcome 6F his old
friend, what he had come to say to him.
“Como back with me to our old home, aud
spend a few weeks there. You will grow
young again in the presence of those old
sights which you used to love. Your old
friends will greet you gladly, aud Muta—”
“What of Muta ?”
“She waits for you, and you do not come.
Oh, Andrew, is this right—is it just? I
Low Prices,
have watched her, and have seen the color
fade out from her cheek and the light from
her eyes. I know that I have no right to
say this to you," he added, as he saw the
cold look come hack to the face of the ar
tist ; "but, if you knew how it goes to-my
heart to see her 1 fading.’yori would forgive
me, I know.”
For some moments Andrew did not speak,
but remained with his bead resting on his
hand, thinking over the past.
"I know that I have done wrong,” he
said. ‘‘l ought not to hare tied her life
down to mine- You must know that lam
grown a cynic, and that I think that love,
the love that seeks a woman to marry her,
has gone oat of me forever. I' could no
more awaken that old passion than I con Id j
live the old life over again, and take pleas- j
ure in the aigh+B Tl foved in my youth.” I
“Then you woold let her live on y .llhrt j
iner too lured her f when yo c* know thal she j
orllv bo rhticfr beautiful flesh *®d blood, j
anna which you can on ly I poW with an ar-% j ,
list’s eve. ft im drool, unjust, Tou should I
rijrlit her somehow,’and I to amte I
ft ** jrour Uatadtr.” r
“1 had hoped sin: had forgot ten,” said
Andrew, sadly.
‘She is not oao to forgot,’ replied George.
‘Who should know this better than I, who
love lit?r so dearly.’
‘Win her, mv dear boy—l give her to vou
freelyi Fur myself, I will write to her to
morrow, and tell Hoi - mydieart. If shestill
holds me to my promise, I will make her my
wife—l will do her no wrong.’
‘Thank you,’ said George ; 'I have my
answer.’
And he went out like one who had r/-
cieved his death sentence. Next day At.
drew Matsell kept his word and wrptp to
Muta. fie told her how he had wasted hi*
life, seeking after unrealities, and that now
he had no heart to give her. But, if bi«
name and place would be any reparation
for the great wrong lie had done her, he WAS
glad to ofic;r y her that. l Alter it was writ
ten and sent. Ijo wetfld have given the name
and place of whirl) he boasted to recall it i
How would she receive it ? In silence, and
go down to her grave hating him like death,
or would she upbraid him ? JJe wa* too
much a man to believe that she would uo"
cept him, aud he was light. Two days
after he received his answer. She did not
upbraid him, but sent him back his ..picture
she had cherished so long, and only these
words :
Let God judge which of us two has
proved most uue. . JtluiA.
*******
Two years passed by, upd brought will,
them their Burrows ami cares. Muta, when
hope was gone lurever, ga*-o her lit ml to
George Foster, after telling him hei story,
and how she had loved aud suffered:
‘Aud, George, after i have told you this,
you will understand I hut 1 cannot give'you
the first love of my heart. But, 1 will be
loyal to you through life, aud will try to
make you a good wile—only, it Andrew
Matsell is ii; trouble. 1 must go to him. Du
you agree V
The brave heart which had followed her
with sucli touching devotion, could not re
fuse her anything. They were married,
aud she was to him a leudei wife, a loving
mother to his children. Five years more,
and the great artist pining of a fatal dis
ease, which his wasting life had brought
upon him, came home to die. They did nut
meet for mouths, until oiie'day George came
in with a cloud upon his honest face.
‘Something is wrong,’she said,
‘Yes, Muta—l have been to MatSeß's
farm, and have aetu Andrew. Oh ! what
has his fame through the world been to him
but a curse ! But he is dying, ami the doc
tor sajs lie cannot outlast to-morrow.’
‘I must go to him, George—you remem
ber your promise to me.’
‘Go,’ he said ; ‘poor lei low, he needs some
comfort ; but will it help him to show him
what he has lost? But you arealvrays right,
and may say someting to cheer ins way
through the valley of the shadow.’
She came gliding into the room where he
lay, attended by his gray-haired' parents.
A wonderful smile passed over his face, as
he saw who entered. Without a word she
sat beside the bed, and dirt not leave hi in
all that day. Toward nightfall he wus sble
to speak, and asked her why she did uot
reproach him.
‘Jf have forgiven you years ago, Andrew.
‘Are you happy ?’
'No-one is unhappy who strives to do
right.’ ■ ;
A smile was her answer, and lifting hits
wasted Ruud, he pointed upward.
T have lost you upon earth by my sin ;
but 1 repent. Away beyond' the distant
blue I have so ol'teu painted, I will meet
and claim you. Kisgaue—it i* the seal of
a betrothal which shall never end.’
She obeyed him.
‘Farewell 1’ he said ; ‘in the great here
after I shall know my bride.’ , .
When the old people came in they found
her sitting yet beside the bed, holding the
dead hand iu hers.
Before another year they made a grave
for her upou the same sunny slope, and he
had claiuied her.
Chikesß Wbddiuq.— A Chinese weddiug
came off at Grass Yalley, California, a few
weeks aiuce. The Union thus describes
the couple married.
“Tin Ti made his appearances at the
church first and alone. It is not highs
toned among the chines© for the hr id* Stiff
groom to be present together at, t)iv mar
riage ceremony. lie was dressed ir a dove*
colored blouse knee breeches, Uue slock
ing, fancy shoes, and einbrqkdewtd skull
cap. Tin Ti haviug depart ; .d from the
church, the bride came up i\ t gorgeous tog
gery, having her hair Vet up in a ridge
'across the middle of lie r hCatl, from front
to back, with paste ar.d large gilded pins,
some six inches high, “aliee some rooster’s
head,” as an irrev' rent Chinaman specta
tor remarked. Vie low her head she wore a
frock, which lu’.ug loosely from her should
ers, and made of fine silk. ’lbis was loop
ed up under b „-r left arm to one dollat’s
worili of go hi buttons. The bottom of this
rig was a jout a foot from the ground, and i
btSlow it were white stocking arid fancy j
shoes, with the soles three inches thick- |
It was manifest to witness that she was j
agitated, and that her nerves w.a* anything
but steady. One American present j
thought she win agitated because it might ;
not agree with her health'lb be an honest j
woman so suddenly. Another said she j
was a pretty as a ‘spotted pup’ in her difs j
ferance. She was, in spite of all remarks, I
put through a proper shape, according to j
the notion of Air. VVanKeo and the Joshes
have of the marriage ceremony, apd then
she was turned loose to fihd the balance
of herself.”
