I had noticed a hard look about the mouth as he * came up, but had attributed it to the morbid feel ings I knew him to entertain about the possibili : ties attending partings. “If my absence, instead of for only a few days, ‘ should be for years, per haps forever,’ I doubt if life at the * liff would know one ripple on itajnnooth and placid surface,” he had said, and I had replied : I “ True, humanity has the failing, or virtue if you like, of forgetfulness.” I confess to being a little piqued, although I Was as unruffled and calm as the ocean below us, and did not pretend to see the look he gave me. So we bad parted. And to all intents and purposes “ for years, perhaps for ever for my proud heart, rebelling against the doubt of its truth, whispered that paltry revenge, let him suffer. So busyjiad been my thoughts, I had failed to hearjhe approach of footsteps from a distant portion of the veranda until they had reached me, and looking up carelessly, with instan taneously self possession, I sAw Gilbert Delanney standing beside me. I caught the gleam of diamonds on the immaculate .shirt front, one burned with a smouldering fire, even in the star light, on a finger of the hand that throws away the cigar he had been smoking, and their warmth lingered at the wrists, seeming to mock me with the present. He was very near me, his haughty face, softened as only it softened to me, bending over me, and there was a light in his eyes I only too truly divined : “ Will you ?” he said, and that was all. For one moment I did not answer him, but I made no pretence of misunderstanding him ; he j bad heard the remark s asjwell as myself ...whether the wboleilor only part, there was no evidence in the confident complacency of his face to tell. “ I will,” I answered calhily and unfalteringly. The moment's silence passed; and like one in a dVeanTl 'saw his ring glittering upon my hand, and he had bent to imprint the fihst kiss upon my lips, and it wAs over. A week, passed. My engagement had gotten out in a pretty'general manner; every one had expect ed. it, therefore no one was surprised, and Will Aubrey was mentioned no more in my presence- Gilbert's 'attention was unremitting, he.was con' stantly by my side, occupied all my time, and nec essarily all my thoughts. I had set myself the task of forgetting the dreams of my brightest years, and Will Aubrey’B share in them, and I fancied, in my pride aud wounded sensibility, that I was succeeding. My anilt congratulated me much after the man ner of a Madame Descliappeles. having had, like that lady,' a firm belief that I was “ born to make a great marriage.” I listened with my usual com placency, and even discussed the matter of a tros sea-.i with orthodox calmness, for Gilbert had asked for an early day, and 1 had acquiesced, feeling that it would be a relief from the feverish unrest con suming me, when it was safely over. One day in the midst of the preparations she inadvertently mentioned Will Aubrey's name. “I had au idea, my lore,” she proceeded to say, while I by a great effort tried to appear undisturb ed, “he was casting bis byes at you; a splendid young fellow, but he could never have given you a reliable settlement in life, and that js a considera tion sentiment should never allow one to overlook.” My tranquility was over for that’day, r and I wa3 glad when enabled to steal away to the quiet beach, there unobserved to battle with the waking night mare of my sorrow. The swift-winged golden hours went by to me as if they were leaden shod, and in my mind I had half made up the determination to tell Gilbert all, cast myself upon his generosity,And ask for a re lease from my engagement, when the sound of rap idly approaching wheels broke in upon my thoughts, look upon it again, if I should ever come back and dare to tell that love which so long h:. hung upon my lips. Margaret, dear Margaret I may tell you now, knowing I have something beside poverty to bid you share with me—fortune has smiled upon me at last, Maggie,” his voice fondly llngered over the dimihutxve. “ I may call you mine, my own, my love, my Margaret ?” I could not check his rapid utterances, ana m my drooping figure he read shyness not shame. I now' lifted my hand with an imploring gesture, my left hand, ami instantly the ring smouldering upon it caught his eve. lie dropped the hand he held, | as if it had been a red hot •'oal, and retreated from me, the deathly pallor creeping to cheek and brow, overspreading and blotting out in one flash of time, all the glow and ardor of tenderness, that had mantled his handsome face like a glory. Ills white lips found the power of speech at last, and the cold . scorn in his voice, mingled with a sharp ring of | pain, went to my soul like a torture, j “ Forgive me, Margaret, that I was so fond as to , think the semblance before me wAs the embodied ideal of the bright image enshrined here. O beau tiful cheat, beautiful mould of clay, may your dia monds bring you all the happiness only such as you can know !” and he strode away, leaving me J rooted to the spot where he left me, gazing after j him with my soul in my eyes, and a great cry in my heart, that found no utterance on my par alys'd tongue. j I could have torn off the ring in my pain and humiliation, and grouud it into the sand at my feet, but I only gazed at it with a dull, far off sense of its share in my misery, knowing he was lost to me now r , forever and irrevocably. I managed to live through the rest of the day, and the long evening when we met at the house, as if there was no skeleton in both our hearts; and none suspected, Gilbert least of all. There was dancing in the long parlott!. vfhich continued until midnight, and I plunged into the mad whirl, as the debauche drains his glass, to woo forgetfulness, but it would not come ; only fatigue, sole substi «tute for that Lethe I craved, came to me I slept j toward daybreak ; a sleep which continued far into ' the forenoon. I was spared meeting Mr. Aubrey at noon; he had gone dowA the coast some dis tance, I learned, and after luncheon I was engaged to Mr. Delariiiey for a long promised sail to a cave famous for its shells, which I had expressed a wish to visit.” “Do not forgel; my dear,” said my aunt, who beside being proud of me. was also fond of me in hex way, “ that at high tide the cave is flooded, ao have an eye on your boat.” “ She is in my care, Mrs. Cliff,” said Gilbert proudly, “ you may trust her safely with me." Summer and sunshine seethed to have been hoarding their glories td lavish upon this day.— The ocean was one flawless sapphire, and there was a murmur of music id air and sky, as we skim med through the pellucid waters. All was Serene, estatic, all but the ceaseless hunger in my hoart marring the light and beauty around me. The tide was fully out When we reached the caVe, and at sight of its weird, isolated beauty, some thing of the old time sense of the sublime entered my heart. We moored our boat to a high, de tached rock, and Jjegan to explore the grotto like cave. It reminded me of some old tale of the “ Arabian Nights,” or legend of fairy The rocky sides were festooned with seaweed, and em bossed with pretty masses, and bedecked, in the innumerable crevices, with pink and pearl tinted shells, which the tide, very higii at this point, left behind it. There was no ingress or egress, but that open ing toward the sfea; the fissure in the rear over which a tiny stream of water fditnd its way, being but a narrow, jagged seam. Away from thesKdrethe rocky floor sunk, form ing a sort of basin, resembling at low tide a minia ture lake, whose deep bed of white sand was sprink led with prismatic shells gleaming like jewels through the water. There was a sort of fascination for me in its deep but placid depths, and there was something sweet to me in the thought of the rest it held idle the seeking. but “ a sand pillow and a water slieet,” but its bed held a rest, couches of down could never woo. Small as was the cave, every step held some new revelation for the lover of the beautiful, and I ceased to note the hours as they slipped awa^. — Gilbert gathered shells fdr me, some times frdm niches dangerously out of reach, but nathingseeiri ed to daunt him If for me. .The circuit, by long stages of this description, was made at last, and I gave the word for home. As we neared the opening, we noted with alarm that the tide, for how long we did not know, had been rapidly coming in, and turning our eyes to the spot where we had moored our boat, found that it was—gone. The water had swallowed up the rock about which the chain had been thrown, and tho motion of the tide had loosened it. There was no sign of it far as the eye could reach ; we were cut off from return, the tide rising hungrily with the requiem of death in its murmurings. After the first shudder at the discovery, all that accumulation of terror the nature of the situation would have called up in my bosom, in the days when life was life to me, crouched down in my heart, and a strange sense of thanksgiving arose from its ashes. I should die, but true to him ;he wodld never know of my deep love, but in heaven I could meet him all his own, and he might mourn me here, not as Gilbert Delanney's wife, but as his lost love, to be found again in heaven. There was something so sweet in the thtiugb , that Aglow coming on over the crisp sards, at. i tc vards -tie, evidently bound for Cliff House, vas a opei ba rouche, and as I further disc vereJ that- Will Au brey was its tutfjr occupant akemste thrills w joy and chi 1 i of c>ead, succeeded each otHif ir. .i&f overwrought frame. He had descried me also before I bad gained my self possession, said something to the coach man, and springing out, came toward me. Ire member how the admiration with which I noted the springing grace of step, and ease of carriage drowned all other emotions for the time; and when he had reached ihe, arid my hand lay in his, clasp ed so safely, tenderly, his eyes looking down into mine with more than their wonted tenderness, I gave myself up for one brief moment to the magic 1 spell of his presence, and stole from time one breath of happiness. “ Surely this is a blissful omen to my hqpes, meeting you here, Margaret, and alone. I forget that hour a few short days ago, when I looked in to this dear face and wondered if I should ever ran along my heart, Arid sent its warmth to my cheek, and as the waves crept toward me, they seemed but as arms, to bear me to that blissful waiting. I turned to Gilbert. He was pale as death, with that palor the brave sometimes wear so bravely.— 1 shall never forget the look he turned upon me as he gathered me in his antis. A great, dry sob choked him for a moment, then he said: “O, my love, that I must lose you thus, while ! yet that full draught of bliss, the future offered in | a brimming clip, has nevef touched my lipA. So ! young, so fair, and thus to give life up' with all the | joy and freshm*ss which it held for you. My j bride, my wife, if my life could purchase yours my love could smile upon the happy sacrifice. Kiss me darling, so. even with the bitter, it is sweet to know death cannot divide U3.” I shuddered as I listened to this great love and j the lips I yielded to him were cold and passive. I Eternity crept nearer and nearer as the tide j came moaning iri. All would sobn he over. Could ; I meet death with this burden of deceit upon my heart, which every endearing word or epithet upon his lips stung into remorse, I asked myself as I lis tened to its advancing step, and some echo from FOB THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL.

Gilbert,” I said, “in this hour with the past so far behind, the future looming so near, your great heart can pity and forgive what I am’about to tell you, say that you can and will," I paused, lifting my pleading face to his. He bent and kissed tee. “ 1 c4n for ge* everything, but that you Are triltt*; ' **»«£ ■ - , I crept away from him aa if he had dealt m a blow. His eyes followed me with a Wild, startled i look in them I hardly dared m4i. Mjf it c* must hare teld him, for he covered his eyes with his locked fingers as if to shut out the sight. “ Forgive me, Gilbert, I never had a heart to give you. I loved another, and was loved in re turn, but in a mad bout thinking, fiom a remark I heard, that he had cast me off as but a heartless panderer to selfish ends, I gave myself t'd a lie to hide my sufferings; hut oh ! believe me, no other consideration influenced me to the act. I may be weak; lam not so mean as that. Hbw bitterly I have expiated the wrong done you, ler, this supreme hour be witness to. If I could have died and spared you this, I would have done it, believe me ; but conscience clamored at my tongue. Say you forgive me, and I wili die happy.” “ Forgive you, yes; and from my heart I pitty more than censure. I loved you truly, wholly, not selfishly; and if I could this moment place you in your lover's arms, I would do it without a murmur,” he replied, with a depth and fervor bubbling from the heart. “ Oil, what a heart I would have wronged,” I cried: “ I was all unworthy such love.” The Waves were lashing at tfflr very feet, he drew me farther away, keeping me close in his Armii, “ -you will not refuse me this,” he said, with a sadly mournful smile. Could I he mistaken. No, surely it was the steady dip of oars that reached me. I started from his arms and strained my eyes seaward, just as a light skiff shot in sight, not twenty yards away, coming from down the coast, and the rower was Will Aubrey. With a cry that echoed across the water like the wail of some lost spirit, I fell forward at Gil bert Delanney's feet, and a great darkness came offer me. and I knew no more. I awoke in my own room at Cliff House, my aunt bending over me, and whispering words of reassurance in my ears. “Where is he?” *-said, “tell hini to come to me.” A step was near, I looked up, and the next moment Will Aubrey had me in his arms, and was nestling In his bosom. The next day I went down stairs, and among the first things I did was to return Delanney his dia mond, and an hour after, he had departed from Cliff House. The ocean bad been months between us when I became a bride, the happiest wife in Christendom. When next I saw him, a fair, young wife was by his side, but there was a subdued mournfulriess in his eyes as at times they dwelt upon me, that made me nestle closer to ray husband’s side, and recalled the agony of that trial time, when a dia mond set its seal upon the tomb of hope.
