My soul is filled with longings vague, Weary and vain; And oft the tears unbidden start, And rest my tired aching heart, Of half its pain, For something more than 1 have known, My path to light, A starry gleam from out the gates, As standing here I sadly wait, Just out of sight. The drifting shadows lighter grow, Beside the shore; And waiting still, with eager feet, I hear amid the silence sweet, The boatman"s oar. The weary past is fading now, As death-draws near; And golden rays are breaking fair Upon the drifting shadows there, To still each fear. A glad joy fills my troubled soul. So near at last, The tiny boat to bear me o'er, Upon the lovelit angel shore, All sorrow past. The busy world will careless tread, Above my breast ; And not a sigh for me shall fall, | To mingle with the night bird's call, And soothe my rest. | Oh weary, weary day of life, : How long we wait To catch the sun's last golden ray, And waiting still we long to stay Outside the gate. BEECHDALE, July, 1872, Selections. THE REV. DR. WILLOUGHBY, HIS RD NE. BY MARY SPRING WALKER, CHAPTER XXI-coNTNvED. His fierce, determined " eyes sought the corner of the room, where, with a shud- der, Grace saw the sharp edge of his axe gleaming-in the lamplight. She tried to speak, but her tongue seemed paralyzed; for, with the sudden conviction of the awful peril to which she had innocently brought the helpless man before her, came the thought that she was powerless to save him--that. he was entirely at the mercy of his deadly foe, who would only be satisfied with his life- blood. Joe watched her with his horrid, gleam- ing eyes. 'She don't like that way," he muttered. Then he looked all round the room again, as if in search of something. There was a hammer on the shelf under the clock--to her dying day Grace remembered the ticking of that Alock in this awful mo- ment of silence and suspense--and when the madman saw it, he darted forward, and, seizing it with an exclawation of pleasure, swung it above his head. "I have it now," he said; ** it'll be sure to please her, for it's a woman's way. -- See here, Miss Grace, we'll do unto him as Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, did unto Sisera, and was 'blessed above all women in the tent. For she put her hand w the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer. She smote Sisera, when she pierced and stricken through his had temples.' : He danced round her, brandishing the, horrid weapon, and at every po Wow coming nearer to the bed on which his victim lay. The imminence of the peril gave Grace the courage she needed. She laced herself in such a position that a ie from the furious man must first fall upon her, and, looking steadily into the glittering, restless eyes that wandered here and there, and speaking with a calmness and authority at which she was herself surprised, she said, -- '* Joe, put down that hammer and listen to me." He obeyed her, coming close to her side. ' You must not do it, Joe; do you hear mel--you must not do it. It would be mean, and cowardly, and wicked, to kill a helpless man that can offer no resistance." ". "* Blood for blood," said Joe; *' 'an aye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'-- man shall his blood be shed." He' stopped, put his hand to the scar upon his cheek, and broke into an un- governable fit of fury. He ground his teeth, he stam upon the floor, and uttered inarticulate cries of rage, then, darting into an adjoining room, return with a monstrous carving-knife, which he brandished aloft. "Stand back, girl," said he, coming close to her with the murderous weapon in Lis hand. Stand back, and let me do my appointed work." - "Btop!" said she. "Oh, wait a mo- ment, Joe! See, he is coming out of his swoon. Do you want to kill him, body and soul! Do you want to send him into the presence of an Magy God with all his sins unrepented of | t him offer one prayer foramercy. Look, Joe!" e man, whose life was hanging by the thread of a madman's whim, sti and opened his eyes, then, with a deep sigh, relapsed into unconsciousness. But Grace fancied she saw signs of indecision in Joe's face, and she pursued her advantage. "If you do this cruel thing," she said, --and her father in his pulpit never thundered forth a denunciation in a stern- .er tone,--** if you do this cruel thing, Joe Martin, I will ask God never, never to take the mark of the beast from you, but to let him torment you for ten thousand two hundred and sixty years." And then, without waiting an instant to see the effect by this terrific threat, she sprang to the door, for she heard the sound of carriage wheels, threw it wide open, snd screamed for help at the top of her voice, and then turned, half expecting to see Joe's deadly weapon buried in her lover's heart. But the crazy man's mood had changed. The knife had dropped from his hand; and, sinking into a wn he said, beseech- ingly, *' Take that back, Miss Grace, take it back! You never will do the dreadful thing you said--!" He stopped, for the door was flung open, and old Dr. Jenks, a physician in a neighboring town, muffled to the ears in his greatcoat and tippet, bustled into the room. *" Why, what's all this!" he said, in his quick, ,business way,--" robes, cushions and whips all along the road, and a woman | screaming for help in the doorway! Why, Miss Willoughby, is this you! I want to know. Have you had an upset! Halloa!--" he saw the prostrate figure, and hurried to the bedside. ; Grace stood by him, trembling in every limb, now that the great danger was over, ao unable to keep back her tears. " Do you think he is much hurt, doctor?" she said, anxiously. " Hurt," said Se Jotgh old Saeror, speaking vi deli y,--*' well, no, I i Feb he was. It would take ¢ Whosoever sheddeth man's blood, by Henderson are capital fellows, but con- ed | for I had an appointment at my office, --I ! more than a fall from a buggy to hurt a man in his condition. The fellow's dead drunk. Holloa! where's the girl going!" ** Home," said Grace Willoughby. And home she went. CHAPTER XXII GRACE WILLOUGHBY SPEAKS HER MIND. * Yes,' I answered you last night. ' No," this morning, sir, I say. Colours seen by candle light Will not look the same by day." Meus. BROWNING. Dr. Jenks stood staring at the sor through which the young lady had so sud- denly departed, *" Well," said he, 'that girl has a cool way of getting herself out ¢f a scrape. left me with an ugly job on my hands too. I thought there was murder going on at .| least, by the way she screamed to me a minute ago, and now she's walked off, and left me to take care of the drunken brute. I have half a mind to follow 'her example; but no, it will never do to leave him here with poor Joe, for he might wake up ugly. Well, I suppose I'll have td take him to West Union tavern, whereiit's likely he got his liguor. Here you, Joe, who is he, and how did he come here!" doctor only heard the word * beast." '"'Confound ' your beasts!" said Dr. Jenks, thoroughly out of patience; '"there's a beast yonder that's got to- be attended to, unless you want I should leave him on your bed all night. to carry the fellow out td my chaise.' But Joe refused to move, and Dr. Jenks, after vigorously shaking his patient, suc- ceeded in getting him into the carriage. -- He drove to West Union hotel, aud, de- livering up his charge to the landlord, | went about his business; | Mr. Horace Landon was provided with comfortable accommodations for the night, and woke the next morning about ten | o'clock, very stiff and sore, with a decided headache, and a confused recollection of a rapid ride over an uneven road, a crash, some loud talking, a rough handling, | after which heremembered nothing further. | He took a hasty breakfast, hired a livery | team, and went back to the city. The | landlord watched him as he drove from | the door. '"A pretty scrape," said he, "for a | man to get into three days before his wed- | ding. Why, in the name of all that's | decent, if he wanted a farewell spree, didn't he go a little further from home!" Grace. was sitting alone in th parlor that evening, when Mr. Landon' was an- nounced. He entered smiling, deferential, and thoroughly self-possessed. (Grace, on | the contrary, manifested great émbarrass- nient. She colored painfully, hind then grew very pale, and, after one shy, con- scious look in her lover's face, fastened her | eyes steadfastly on the carpet. Mr. Lan- don tock his usual seat at her side, smil- ing at her evident confusion. ** She has heard something of this 'unfortunate affair," he thought, "and expects an ex planation. Well, we will have it over as soon as may be." So, after a few com- monplace remarks, to which she hardly responded, he said playfully, 'Are you aware that you have especial cause for thankfulnéss in my behalf to-night, Grace! | A lacky chance, or, as your good father | would put it, 'a special providence,' has | returned me to you in safety, my dear | girl. About this time last evening--he glanced at the clock, whose hand pointed at half-past seven--the life you have so soon promised to make complete was in peril. What! turning pale, dear! when it is all over, and you see [ am safe and | sound!" She did, indeed, turn pale at the sig- | nificance of his words, for the scene in | Joe's cottage the previous evening, at that | hour, was b fore her again; the furious | gestures, and fierce, murderous eyes of the | madman, as he stood over his helpless victim. . * Though your alarm is quite unneces- sary," said Mr. Landon, 'it is pleasant | to know that you feel it. Why, dearest, | you will teach me to say with Othello: -- 'Si Ve h H A To ee Anger a pamed; | but keep your sympathy till you have | heard my story. I attended court, you | know, in Barton yesterday, and when we were through, Dyke and Henderson, and | two or three more of my cronies, arranged | for a farewell dinner, to commemorate my | desergion of their bachelor ranks. Now, a little unsophisticated country girl like | you, Grace, cannot be 'supposed to know much about such gatherings. Dyke and vivial. They had good wine and plenty of it. I have pretty much given up that sort of thing, as you know, but on such an occasion it would seem scrubby to re fuse. So I partook with the rest, of course in moderation. Well, we broke up early, am crowding my business into these last days, that 1d may uninterruptedly enjoy our sweet fellowship by and by,--and Winslow drove me home. He had a spirited horse, and, to tell the truth, was in no condition to manage him, and about aj mile from West Union he ran over a rock by the side of the road, broke the buggy, and spilled me out, but hung to the lines himself, for half a mile or so, till the concern went to pieces. He was not hurt, but was obliged to walk into town; and it was an hour or two before he came to look me up. I suppose the fall stunned me, for I have no distinct recollection of what followed. I learned this morning that an old doctor, who lives somewhere out in the country, picked me up, and brought me to the hotel, where I found myseif this morning, sound in. limb, but very stiff and sore from bruises and ex- posure. It was a marvel that I was not killed." Grace was looking him steadily in the face. ' Dr. Jenks said you were not injured by the fall," she replied, very quietly. "" Indeed! it seems I was injured enough to remain unconscious for several hours," he replied. '""He said," she continued, "that it | would take more than a fall frum a car- riage to injure a man in your condition." | Horace oko bit his Ip. " And what else did this learned doctor say" he-in- quired, with a supercilious smile, 'Tell f me all, Grace." " He said," she answer~d, looking him | full in the face, -*'that wou were dead | drunk." | '" And I say," said Horace Landon, in | sudden passion, " that (he lies." Then | recovering himself instantly,-- "1 ask | your pardon, Grace, for my hasty expres- | sion. I was naturally indignant at such | a perversion of the truth to my disadvant- | age. The facts are these: --I had spent | five hours in a heated court-room, before | breaking my fast, and my head wasin a | or condition to bear the little stimulant | took. I do not deny that the few glass- | es of wine I drank affected me more in my over-wearied state than they would under ordinary circumstances; that in any de- gree I approached the condition you have 80 elegantly described, I emphatically deny." = | "The expression was Dr. Jenks's and not mine," she replied. 4 whom Dr. | "And may I niquire to delightful piece of in- | Jenks imparted this telligence?" she hasn't taken herself off in a hurry, and | Joe, sitting in an attitude of the deep- | est dejection, his head resting on his hands, | muttered something in reply, of which the Come, Joe, help me | | you please explain this mystery to me, | happiness in my hands, cannot take my | eye: { finding hor in a country town, with no| 10 vo'told in the time of them, and that | fortune, no high social standing, | | "To me, Horace."

" Will you tell me, Horace," she said, ** why Joe Martin hates you with such a bitter hatred 1" He gave her a quick, searching glance. |" Ishould be glad to satisfy your curi- | osity,!" he saiji; *'but it takes more logi- | cal achmen then I possess to account for the wild fantasies of a crazy's fellow's | brain." | 7 " He is gel | other human | hates you tle and loving toward every being," said Grace; " he with a deadly hatred. | You acknowledged tome once that his name was familiar to I'am sure you are in some way connected with the history of his early Tite. Will Horace? 'My dear girl, you as impossibilities. What do I know of .Joe Martin's likes or dislikes? It strikcs me, you spend a great deal of unnecessary sympathy upon that uagrant. I would have had him in a straight-jacket long ago, but for your father's objections." " You evade my question, Mr. Landon. Who gave him that cut on his cheek?" The colour flushed into his sallow face. "How do I know!" said hp haughtily. " Grace, we have had enough of this. -- Am I to sit here and defend myself against the ravingsgof a madman? 'Tis passing strange, if the lady who has confidence enough in nfy honor to trust her life's word against that of a wandering vagrant. Now you surprise me, Grace. | It was near | Martin's house, and he carried you in his you. | His face was pale | cause of this sudden change in your feel ings!"

I hav@just vowed it again. since indirectly he is my deliverer." re was no anger in her voice. spoke with quiet determination, and met his stern look unwaveringly. Her answer stung him, and he seemed to be trying to control himself before he spoke. '1 am sure we need not prolong this in- terview," she said, after waiting a mom- ent for his reply. "Release me from my | promise, Mr. Landon, and let me go." { He looked upon her with as black a frown as ever darkened a man's face. "Let you go!" he said; *" yes, certainly, since your reasons are :so goodiand suffi cient;" then, bending down to look in her face, with a peculiar and sinister expres- sion he said, '* Miss Willoughby will find the sight that shocked her last night re- peated very near home. Will you give my parting regards to your sister, and ask her if she remembers the night of the fifteenth of last September at Congress Hall?" He took up the ring she had laid upon the table, and left the house. Grace went iminediately to her father, The Doctor, looked up from his sermon- writing in #irprise. "Has: Mr{ Landon gone so son!" he inquired. ' Father, he has gone, never to come back again," said Grace. ** I belong only to you and mother now." Then she told her last night's adventure and its conse- quences.

He logked at her with surprise and ad- miration, for her excitement changed the whole character of her beauty, but with no serious thougut that she was in earnest, He had described her to his friend-the day before, as they drove over to Barton, as a gentle, affectionate little creature; not par- ticularly brilliant, not the woman to shine in society, but mild apd amiable, to be moulded in all respects to her husband's will; '"in short, Winslow, 'a wife to come to;' just what a blase world-citizen like my- self needs." Having formed this opinion | of his bride elect, he looked at her with some curiosity in the new character she d; then he rose and stood by her side. " What folly is this?" he said. "Iisa folly that will never be repeat- ed," she replied. "I thank God it isnot yet too late to retrieve it. Take back your ring, Mr. Landon. If I am not fit to share your confidence, I am not fit to be your wife. Release me from this un- equal enya zement, where one gives all and the other a part." While she spoke, Mr, Landon was think- ing what he had done for this girl,--how, minister's daughter, with her pretty face | alone to recommend her, he, Horace | Landon, |possessed of money, position, | and a name, all that in his estimation made life desirable, had offered to share these gifts with her, asking nothing in re- | turn but her love and gratitude.

" This is very sudden, Grace. I am afraid you have acted hastily, my child." "No, father, itis not sudden. From the first-day of my engagement I have had doubts and fears, but have stifled them as best I could, and till last night 'there was no way of release opened to me. And now there is only room in my heart for one thonght, and that is, I am free." Dr. Willoughby logked at his daughter in surprise. 'What is there in Mr. Landon," he life with him would not be happy! ~ He has every outward advantage,-- wealth, pesition, and professional talent. Fe is not unpossessing in appearance. He is polished in his manners, and devotedly at* tached to you." "Do you think he is 'a good man, father!" "I could wish mv chi? that he was more settled in his religions belief, but-the road to the understanding is through the heart, and I have hoped his love for you might, under God, be the means of his con- version." ** Never, father; he has not a particle of AYMpathy with my religious feclings. Weak and imperfect as I am, I should be far more likely to expose my faith to his contempt than to gain for it his love and reverence. If there were no other reason, the different views we entertain on relig- ion would prevent any real union of soul between us; but there are other reasons. I detest him. 1 despise him. I hate--no I don't mean that, because it is wicked to hate--but, father, I would rather die this minute than marry him." After this fepinine outbreak, there was nothing to be said on the other side, and Dr. Willoughby was easily reconciled to the prospect of' keeping his child with him. " But have you considered, my dear," he said, "that in all probability you will never again have the opportunity to make so eligible a match?" . '* Father," said this young of twenty, "1 shall never dss rp A plainly my duty to stay with yon and mother as long as you live." The disappointment and indignation of Mrs. Willoughby and her eldest daughter, when they were informed of the step Grace had taken, can be imagined. Mrs. Thayer wrote to her husband, "that in conse- quence of a lover's quarrel there would no wedding on Thursday; that Grace behaved very foolishly, but she hoped all would yet be well." She also wrote, t Mr. Barstow had kindly offered to see that the pulpit was supplied the coming Sabbath, if he desired to remain longer with his friend. "And what, I should like to know," said Mrs. Willoughby, after a somewhat stormy interview with her youngest daughter, --*" what, I should like to know, is going to be done with all those elegant dresses, --the pearl satin, and the gros grain, and the moire antique, and all that point lace!" pra BE 4 " Why, mother!" said Grace, " we can sell them, and send the money to the mis- sionaries." Dr. Willoughby was sent for one day, to visit a sick person in the city, He grumbled a little as he climbed the long | flights of stairs in the tenement house to | which he had been directed. *' There are | plenty of ministers in town," he thought, | "to do this missionary work, without | sending three miles out for au old man like me." He found the object of his! search, a decent, middle-aged man, far | gone with consumption, | "I have sent for you, Dr. Willoughby," | he said, "to tell you some facts I ought was a good many years ago. 1've been an honest, hard-working man, sir, all my life, and tried to do about right; but there's an nnderhanded piece of business I was know- ing on this bed; and it concerned a person I mean " What of him?" said Dr. Willoughby, | "I'm going to tell you, sir.

He went to college afterward, and now he's got to be a rich lawyer in the city. Well, he was a high blade then, and he and another clerk > the name of Winslow used to drink, and carouse, and play cards in the store all night sometimes.
