THE BITTERSECRET.
BY W. II. Bt’KHNF.IX.
Novqr bad the bright blossoms

“accepted” was both a man and a
gentleman in the strictest sense of
the tern. Beauty, too, had dow
ered both; she with rippling tresses
of tlie deepest auburn; eyes so
very blue that a shadow changed
them almost to hazel, ai.d puzzled
the beholder; a complexion of the
purest white, through which the
tell-tale blood curdled in rosoutc
blushes; nose as dainty carvcil as
ever sculptor dreamed; and a small
mouth whoso corni-cleft lips re
vealed aline of regular and chizzliii
white pears within. And yet there
was an expression about those lit'

through a wlirilwind of battle, and
made martyrs die triumphantly and

For him, if he was tlie opposite
in his strongly-sinewed form, in
iiis eagle eye, in his black and
straight hair.and somewhat strong
ly marked features, he was still

ease witli manly beauty—was just
such a one as a true-hearted woman
would look up to and lean upon—
just the human oak around which
the more tender human ivy would
clasp its tender tendrils lovingly
and cling to. even though want or
shame should come to tlie hitter

“Tlmt spell is broken—tlmt prom

Never loved you? Great heav

as wildly and deeply as at this
moment.”
“Take back this ring and tell me
all.”
“Never. You know not what
on ask."
An hour of vain ell'ort—an hour
of entreaty, urged by eloquence
and iiileusilled by love—lie saw
tlmt she, so gentle and yielding to
him before, bail become iron in
tliis. She would not renew her
troth—would not take again tlie
engagement ring—and lie bowed

child.
But one tiling, Laura, my dar

pause of bitter thought. “Tell me

He could neither entrap her nor
the doctor into a divergincnt. And
tints he was forced to hide tlie
time when she should call him
again to her side.
But wlmt could tlmt futul, terri
ble secret be? He though of ev
erything possible except those tligt
would rellcct upon her. To Ids
honor, be it said, lie never thought
—never allowed anyone to speak
of her except in the terms of the
highest praise. To him she lmd
been, and would ever he, pure as
mi angel, until she was one in
reality.
.Six weeks—three months—a
year passed, and yet there was no
change except tlmt she had wasted
to a shadow; tlmt she no longer
was seen abroad; that her glorious
voice was hushed m tlie choir, and
her once merry laugh lmd dwin
dled away into tlie very ghost of
an echo. Yet still there was no
revelation, still none the wiser a3
to tlie cause of her illness.
“Great Heaven! will this sim-
pcnce—this almost mortal agony,
never end?” cried tlie disconsolate
lover, an lie returned home one ove
after having, by accident, caught

“To the end. But all is past

“Hush!”
Witli startling emphasis the
physician uttered tho word. He
saw that a great change was taking
place, and it was not death, but
life.
Again the cherries hong quiver
ing like blood drops among the
green leaves, and the soft moon
light flushes liko silver fire be

Laura Livingston and her lover-
husband. The past has vanished
like some distempered dream, and
in n few short months, when the
roses shall blosscm fully again on
her checks, no one will ever dream
that she so nearly journeyed across
the dark valley and shadow of
death, to prove tlie trials and tri
umphs of love, and gain a life-long
happiness.
