B Tho following days wo spent like , those that had preceded them, in walks or rides, or drive* about the beautiful country, the only amusements in our power; but they did not become monoto-

nous to me, uor did I seek to analyse the 1 ririd enjoyment they afforded; Ijwat only 1 conscious of being entirely happy and 1 sweetly content ; only at night my rest ' was broken by feverish dreams, and at 1 dawn I awoke restless and eager for the 1 blissful day to.<begiu, end planning how 1 we should spend it — over what level 1 white roads, through what graasy path- 1 ways, past what gleaming waters, under what spreading bonghs or arching galleries of trees we ahoold go, dreaming, smiling, spaaking, musing, sauntering, ' o ly halt conscious, aud wholly absorb I ed in mutual thoughts, that, silent or , spoken, 8r«w us nearer and nearer every hour— for the intimacy of the country is , not like that of tbe city, the intimacy of a morning cfil, an evening party, an af- ' ternoon reception, or even an informal visit or drive, subject to observances and restrictions unknown, because uaneeded, in the country. We are. always in fall dress of mind arid body on these occa- - sions, there is little of weal character or r feeling visible beneath the preUy, polish- . ed mask which we wear, just like our r neighbor's, and Just as our neighbor 'wears his, and just as fashion or custom prescribes for us both-^revealiug nothiag of the hnuuM nature below. Bat boo "prunes and prism" loss their

; laimrto consideration, and Nature as- 1 Bert* hers — here the vsrnish of conven- b tionality wears Jjff, and a truer lustre, J takes its place — hore the invisible re- n straiots that dogged our liberty drop v away like sJacWetaB^eteel— and we are t . free, freaks the birds thst aing and love 1 about us, the insects that chirp their l< pleasure^ at our feet,, the grass that o and the water that runs the sweet and healthful air, nnbrcathed by 1. 1 sin, untained by falsehood, thfct purifies * and lungs alike. And when life tele a- tete in lovely solitudes like these, c fresh as tho primeval paradise, where, i morning to evening, one is brought constant and near sommooion with c a nature stronger, deeper, wiser, more r powerful, more admirable, than his own t —one learns to think, to reason, to feel, to, admire, to lore ; and thus much of ( tfeis experience came to me that I grew i interested, attracted, absorbed, that 1 t counted the time precious speut in such companionship, and held his welfare i dearer than that of ay beihrothed tatsj band— that the past and futnre seemed a ■ blank, and tbe only happiness worth liv- I iug for that I had known — the week ; ' that thagbt me what a year would be, < passed in his desr presence. Alice was i sometimes with os, with her happy si- i lence, her veiled eyes, her roseleaf color i flattering in her cheeks, but mute and | voiceless as a beantlfnl statue — oftener detained nbont the neat hoosehold cares ber mother was teaching her, learning to redone confusion and distraction to or- <. i der and calm, and coming to meet as. | . as we returned home, iu the freshest of j muslins, tho whitest of aprons, sweet ' and serene as a lily. But she was not always near to protect me from my own heart ; and even In ber lovely present^ | i there was a bond between ns that she t could not feel — on unspoken sympathy j that she could not share — an affinity of mind, and heart, and soul, of which we were barely conscious, aud of which she never dreamed between her beloved aud I her friend — more happy in her ignoraoco than I. when first I awoke to the bitter ' knowledge of all that week of dreamy bliss had done. I had gained the key ' | to his nSlnre, and usurped Alice's priv- ! I ilege iu trying to soothe and cheer him , I — to pay a heavy penalty in the very fact of success. For bis laogour and discontent were gone, and the freest, brightest gayely bad taken their place — the light of hope beamed from bis beautiful eyes, and peace and happiness sat I on his smiling lips — his cheeks had 0 learned to glow like Alice's own, s and his light step and sweet whis1 tie brought new life into the qniet house, r | But I found a different reoding of the i. riddle, when, startled and shocked, I

woke from ihat delicious dream ; slow and inexperienced as I was, I learned my hard lesson at last — my heart was and my conacionee troubled, bat duty lay plain before my ayes, so long bonded by tbe sweet illusion of a most deceptive passion — ite. whispers were not loud, but clear ; it said to me, in those long- forgotten words, "Do not tarry — bo brave, and do your dnty. 'Pnty first,' jpy child. Qo!" I .wrote to my betrothed husband, and anxioasif awaited his answer. I had learned to receive bis brief, kind letters with apsthy, and to reply to tbetu with egreeable platitudes and polite commonplace phrases of interest or admiration ; bat this differed from the Test; I urged my return — I Ldd him that I had leaned to. know and leve hie relatives — and wept as I wrote— that I , was anxious to be at borne again, and I begged him to come for me immediately. . The letter in which be answered my re- - quest — his avsnat-coQfier by a few > hours — wes eagerly veutieipated, and ■ read rith tears oT gratitude and remorse. - Bare of speedy release from the temptsi tion that beset me, I want into the fam- - ily sitting-room to announce my deparl lure. r Alico wis na^ there. She hud gene

visit a sick neighbor a mile away and begged that Farnham and I would walk after her, her mother said. I dared not look as I silently consented, and we sooa treading tbe forest path for n the last lime, the only sound that broke '■ the silence for many minutes, tho rust- I l! liogof the faded autumn leaves beneath i p teet. "So you are going f" he said hoarse- 1 ly, at lost. "We mast lose our bright ' „ spirit just as we have found her." t "Yes, I mast go." I answered with id constraint; "I am anxious to be at i a homo " "And how shall I bear to live wiih- j out you ?" he said, with sorrowful rehe- j " ; "you are 'anxious to go home' t to marry Leonard, but 1 — " a "Hush !" I said, looking at him ' « gravely and mournfully ; "you must not t speak en to me ; I am Leonard's betrothed wife.'' 1 0 He went on without hearing or heed- 1 ' in his passionate sorrow "If I lose you I lose ray very life— j all that makes it of value ; you don't , , what you ere to me, Lixzic---wbat t have been ever Binco you dawned me that sunny morning, sunk in I idle despondency, the bright incarnation ' | of the hope and vigor I lacked, and in- > spired me with courage and 'energy to ! < live ! Had yon not been bound, bad I j 1 been free, 1 would have said to yon long ! ' ago, as my heart'saysjnow, docs yoars 1 not echo It, Llxzie, Lizzie ! - 'Come, | j and he my wife, and in "the treasure of ! I your love I shall be blest indeed I I can | work— I can toil— I can J win riches and ; i honor in the inspiration of your prea- I ' encc — I can earn n position wo-lliy of | , yon. my own. What of struggle and suffering can 1 feel with you by my side? j 1 One I oak of your liquid eyes shall be ray I value for the one, one tone of your j thrilling voice shall make me forget the ' other ; through you I can become whnt- | ever I wilt to become, and- you, bright star of my hope, eholl shine on my success, and bless ite fulfillment !"' 1 trembled before the picture he hod drawn, but 1 tried to bo faithful and true. 1 "You must not say this to me," I re- • peated, sternly, i "No, I must not say that, I have no right ; but one thing you cannot preI vent my saying, 1 will kuow, and yon , must answer me truly." Tbo veins - stood out like great cord* on his lemp- - les ; I could see the pulse beating in i I them, and he was pale Io the very lips. 1 "Had vou not been bound to my cousin would you not have loved ino f Do you - not love mc now, Lizzie ?" My heart beat fast and furious under e the searching gaxe of his entreating, I beautiful eyes, and I dreaded lest my fare

should betray, or my Hps involuntarily confess, what I had willed they should : not reveal. It was a moment of anguish such as I can never feel again ; I seemed for tbe OrA time to realize bow j with one decisive word I put away the I happiness of a whole life'tine, or drew it cloaer to my breast — how it lay in my 1 power at a breath to prolong this sweet dream forever, or make the future a dreary waste of sacri6co aod duty— do- , ty ! the word'aroused mo, tbe echo of that childish motto rang in my ears, and through its help I wos strong again to > conquer my terrible temptation, aud i bravely look and answer, "No." "You do not love me I" 1 ' (7b Is Continued.)
