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.
