CiiArn.tt IV. “The anmes inirabilis with Mr. Wayne, had passed, but lie had not returned yet. When would lie return ? This laconic query revolved in Elda’s mind. Many mouths before, when the tide of correspondence was high, he liad written, that lie would come to claim the object ot his love. She had gradually, assumed a half belief, that Mr. Wh yne had cither insincerely forced her to believe, he entertained feelings ol love for her—or that he had been fictile and wavering. Oh ! could she believe that he was a vagrant from love’s holy shrine, and made the suh juect one of levity which he had previously avowed to be espoused, indissolubly ? Had lie treated it as an infantile idea of feeling?—or would he intentionally, jeopardize a heart, hither to, in embryo, concerning affection ?” It was rather a warm day, near mid summer, as Elda enjoyed a familiar, delightful walk in Mr. Wayne's front floral mead of most luxurant shade. She was refoeilliting herself, physic ally, after much mental occupation. : The completed oeuvres of nature that art had suggested and began, were clothed in a vernal parure , and the delightful romance that was offered did not fail to entrance her. The solemn j pensive cooing—the low matin song of a remote dove wafted on odoriferous wings of nature’s soft, placid, soothing j breath was an alto as sweet, sym- , phonions and melifluons as the dulcet I rythm from euphonic 2Eolian lyre or j Pandean pipe. And the ethereal mild- i ness of morning’s holy hush was rendered doubly so, by the pefect taciturnity dominant around, and all nature held a profound solemnity, of “Which the only sound Os leaves and fuming rills, Aurora’, fan, Lightly dispersed.” The marked appearance of Elda’s form to-dav, would not fail to have been admired. A light muslin dress can be said to have constituted her attire, \et thus plainly yclad she was so lovely as nearly to rival Mother Eve as portrays her Milton : “With tresses discomposed and glowing cheek — Shot forth peculiar graces.” She wandered through this Elysium of loveliness, till exabruptu, she reach ed a gale leading into a grove of majestic oaks and“spreading beech. Looking upon the realms of Sylvatius and the shaded earth she lisped dis tinctly these lines of Bryant’s “Forest Hymn”: “Father thy hand Hath reared these venerable columns. Thou did‘st weave this verdant roof.” Enraptured she stood wondering at the infinite poSver of her Almighty Creator, when she was startled by a stern voice ; yet familiar, too. itseemed. To the right, to the left she looked for its owner. But not until a second time of its utterance did she discover the intruder: “Enfeoff! !” A single coup d'oeil in the direction of the elegant demeure sufficed for her to recognize its owner. “EufeofT!” was it reiterated. “Oh 1 Mr. Wayne. Thank God! come at last!” exclaimed Elda, path etically. “Oh ! what an oecumenical deceiver you are. “Yoti Wrote you Would come sooner*” “How do you do, Miss Lyle?—glad to see you. Quite well? You appear very rosv indeed. Are all well!” “Yes, sir, yes, sir! Oh! how glad I am to see you once more.” “Well, i must first extricate myself from this latayrinthian wood. Show me my house. Ha !ha !” He abruptly and rapidly left Elda and went toward the house. What frigidity and extreme formality there Was in his manner toward her. This was contre her expectation. Oh ! what a blow it was to her heart. »‘Ali ! —me,” she sighed heavily. She did not wish to follow him ant! taciturnly glided out the oped gate, nroceedmg homeward. She could not deny the truth that in her mind the dreaming architect had reared chateau en Espagne, and entertained the thought that she was loved! Rut how poignantly, keenly was that fond ex pectation but just now frustrated. In her room she sat an gave vent to bitter tears of disappointment. Who can sav bow burning are the lachrymal waters of the bear', wl e.i pierced by the cruel dart of raelaticholly mortifi cation. “Oil ! my God, that I had never known a word of affection —false— tickle —love !” Thus was her heart overflowing with regret and disappointment, as she ut tered her laconic prayer, that her Maker might a low her stricken soul to bathe in Lethean waters, and smother tier quondam love for her deceiver, in j oblivion. For sevoial days after, Mr* Wayne j was luxuriously delighting himself! gathering many of his friends to his dainty, luscious dinners am! teas, ami j the wide halls of his domain, inces santly rang with voluptuous music. He was making halcyon moments in his E ysian parlors, wide exquisitely lurapiur and in tiiC Lcauty of Mis? Ida Hargrove who was never absent dur ing these festivities. Many delightful buggy rides they enjoyed, together while he pictured vividlv the scenes in his travels. She listened too, with glowing ardor to the sights of the ori entals, as lie described them. Meantime, the galling scorpion of woe was gnawing deleteriously on the injured, prostrate heart of fatherless El da Lyle. Not once for several weeks had she seen her former friend. At length, after a partial subside of his gay festivities. Mr. Wayne feeling but little benefitted bv them was al most suddenly reminded that it was his duty to see Elda again, and sine moru. What an ordeai ! Would he boldly enter Mrs. Lyle’s demeurc without a single feeling of regret ? Somewhat more than a month after Itis arrival from Europe, he was, one quiet evening, from the wood of ty pheean oaks that bounded the village on the West, approaching Mrs* Lyle’s dwelling. Ii was now Autumn, and the leaves were beginning to assume a fuillcmorte hue, and incessantly relaxed their grasp from the branches. As Mr. Wayne walked slowly along he happened to glance into a little woody retreat, and sp<ed whom be would—a young lady with moistened eyes, and sorrowful visage, yeleped Elda Lyle. Truly she seemed in grief metamorphnsticai. A single COHjtd'- oeil was sufficient to recognize Mr. Wayne’s handsome form. “ Forma pulcherrimuV ’ exclaimed he, in a lapsus lingua?. “Ob ! Elda, Elda, once again lam allowed to see you ” “Good evening, sir!” she lisped blondly with a turn of her head. “Oh ! Elda, 1 have come once more *to pour into your friendly bosom the pathos of iny affected heart. Elda don’t scorn me so, now —I am reso lute— “ Foul words and frowns must not repel a loVer.”’ “Mr. Wavne, you insult me* sir,” site replied, while her coral lips curved in the contempt they bore.” “Ah! tny beautiful Elda, what a preternatural reply you return him whom yon love, tam as surely acs quainted with pathognomy, as of the English language. Elda, allow me encore to pour out my feelings to you. I have to plead your pardon, for once ” “You are forgiven, sir—everything!” «he said, with a careless look. ! “Elda, look at me —hear me. Oh ! let me speak with you. ‘Look the world’s comforter, but weary gait. His days’hot task 1 ath ended in the West.’ And ere it has gone below the horizon, speak me one, gent!a—sweet word— ‘For looks kill love ; and lovely looks reviveth A smile recures the wounding of a frown.’ Elda, my lovely one, will you not condescend to smile on 'ii** ?—oh! one sweet .smile of approval ?” “Mr, Wayne you are uttering words and expressions that are only hypo thetical, Yet speak, sir* if you wish.” “Thank you, sweet angel,” he re plied, grasping her hand pathetically. One moment, lie stood looking on her, and once more the engine ot his thoughts began. “llovv often have I hound my soul to your sweet image and worshiped the idol of my heart. Oil ! how ardently do I love you, pure llhuriel one! When I left here more than a year ago, I made known my love to you, for the first time. I traveled ; yrt I did not lose your bright, cheering, image, here stamped upon my heart —” “Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne, how dare you iterate such words, that I do most assuredly doubt. I would sooner trust in the reality of the Bactylia, as what von now utter. You, sir, have been false—derived me—l cannot believe otherwise. Why did you ever speak this to me ?” She paused, and her glittering eves flashed with contempt. She appeared as offended as if the spirit ol Juno had been transmigrated to strengthen the ire of her own. And then “Once more the ruby-colored portal opened,” “Mr. Wayne, you must never speak of dove’ to me again. You have given me reason ” “Oh ! beautiful Elda. I pray you, do not frown on one who loves you. \ou accuse me of inconstancy. Here love ly one, take my enchiridion and search il. In it is a historielte of my T travels, yet it is crowd and wi ll epithet, but feeble expreslions of my feelings for you, while far distant. Now do not say lam fickle or lalse. Believe me, iny dearest Elda—l love you. ’ Momentarily he ceased. “Sweet on e, quae nunc animo sen tenlia surg'd ? Will you not forgive what you have thought erroneous in me pretty friend ? Elda, Elda. oh ! mv swelling heart —oh! he my wife, darling—he mv own sweet w ife In herit yon dwelling as its true and only chore ami. I have as much right to your love as I have to my own l ead.— I will always prove your fulus A chads through my life —only beiny loving and loved wife.” He held her in liis arms while so pa thetically he spoke, and large tears rolled irom his eyes on his cheek. “Oh! what burning tears of passion are *liese. Aml then obdurate, flinty, hard as st-el. .Nay more than fl.nt .for sme at rain rc ia.Uth ! NO. 40, lleed these words ol mine dearest* ami answer me now.” “Sir, 1 must again assure you that my feelings are as di lie rent from the indulgences of Panthea, as your nnc nificent domain is Irom iny birth plac" two score and ten miles from here. I could never be your wife. Already' vou are, l hear, engaged to Mist* Har ” “And 1 tell you Elda. who ever told you that uttered a falsehood !” “Ob ! sir, l am but too truly assu red that vou do nt least love her vi talh—though simpleton i am to say it. If.! what does it concern me 7 Now sir unhand me.” She looked at him plainly showing that she. was now irresistibly convinced in that suspicion, that months ago had harshly rang in her ears. “My distracted heart! must I refuse to give vent to thy fond thohbings.— Oh Li hat iny soul had a voice to speak as illy lips are frail in expressing what Elysian, celestial devotion, there flows in the gushing stream of my heart. — Oh! cursed be the \vrters of Selem noit it such the heart of yours, pure one, has formed' Darling Elda believe that I would sooner speak to these oaks of this feeling, il mv lips were uttering what is false. Nay,—they yet con vey hut feebly, too inex pressihly, iho enthusiasm, and transport of iny breast.” “Ah ! sir, hill only touch the bubble ol your love, and it will he annihilated in an instant, and he forever in oblivi on. Not without pain do I hear you more sir. Unliand me.” “Elda, Elda, it such cruel words were returned to your heart with the pain they bring to mine you would soon cease uttering them. Has the love you once cherished, been as brief nsthfi experience of the Ephemeron ? Once more I solemnly swear, that il mortal ever loved, it is I. If ever a passion compassed the liunmn heart, docs it mine. If ever a truth was conscien siously uttered it is a most solemn one I now reiterate. 1 am enveloped in* a neverceasing—eternal love for you' sweetest angel. Again 1 ask you to bo mv darling angelic wife, or you house' ever remains without its mistress. “In vain you speak Mr. Wayne.— Oh ! why did not my Heavenly Father take me before, My Savior inspire me !' This is an ordeal Mr. Wayne, that is taxing me weightily.” Here she fell upon her knees, and l clasping her now pearly hands together implored: “Most loving Redeemer, look down upon thy servant. Help her in her thoughts and words. God bless him who hears this simplr prayer.” “Rising she said to Mr. Wayne : “My kind benefactor, I trust run, I loved vou once. Once, yes, wouM> it have been a decided untruth to have denied that fact. Now it would he oivc to say that l do cherish any feeling'be yond that of a thankful IVieml. M'ay the Supreme Ruler reward vow for your unutterable kindness, is the feebly spoken prayer of your true friend and sister Elda Lvle. It is nearly d-usk al ready : good evening, sir !” “Elda, l hope mv poor heart will be able to stand this blow, but be assured that until death influences one of onr bodies. I will never cease to love you. Soon to meet again. AtrevUrr, Quickly Elda hastened homeward. She paused once on her way when she he.«rd a long lotxl groan behind her.—• As fearful as an ElGhoulan would' he, when frightened by some terrible omen, she fled into her meek home. What a terrible night, the ensuing proved ! Elda awoke next morning un conscious, with burning temples;: and as to her mind, she was in a raving frenzy. She was delirious for several ensuing days. Her brain was mortal ly afl’erted. Physicians waited at her bed-side, anxiously and dubiously. What a sudden attack it was! A few more days sufficed, t«» show on which side of that fearful brink of death, sbe lay most 'l'lie western orb was making tbc final of bis divernal function. The j levant breath of Eve whispered sadly, j The quivering aspen leaves, fluttered ! over the d\ing! Beneath the roof of an humble cottage, the silver Cords of ! life, were slowly vibrating ! Then—as 1 dusk crept on. Elda Lyle resigned her life to the slumber of death. The som bre monster J Thermit o s had spared not this body longer to combat the woes of the world. Into ilie hands of Jehovah her soul was commended, Conqui escat in pace. Benevo/e lectu , let us close. Since the flower of the field withereth, even so its little annal is no more knowu. Truly life ‘ s ,1! H bubble on the uncertain rivulet of Tune, that demands a constant watch, lest the glittering object burst, even in a moment, when, we know not. And its ever having existed will be forever iu oblivion. ‘•Death lies on her, like an u itinicly frost Upon the sweetest flower of all tho field!” “You say, Mrs. Jones, that you have lived with the defendant for eight years. Docs the court understand from that that you are married to him ?” “In course it does.” “Have you a marriage certificate ?” ..Yes, your honor, three of ’em—two gals and a boy.
