this mishap that srtintt-d woman had clung
to hirn—for'he was the father of her boy,
and the lrushand of her youth. It was a
hard task for her to perform; but it was her
dutv. and when all the world deserted him
could she. too, leave him? She had come
much, but alas! nature could endure’ no
more. Health had fled frorri her cheeks,
and her eyes were dim and sunken. She
was in the-._last stage of consumption, but it
was not that which was killing her—sltc

The noise made. by her husband awoke
her from her troubled sleep, and she hall
started up in bed, the hectic fire‘ strenrning

shooting into her sunken eyes. There was
rt faint shadowy smile lighting up her face,
but it was cold as moonlight upon snnw.——

and then gazed almost vtrcarttly upon her,
continued, 'but—\vhy—-it hat’s the matter .7
I-lis poor wife lay like a corpse before
him, ‘out a low voice from the other side of
the bed answered, and its tones quivered as
they spoke,’ _, *
‘Obi mother's dead 1.’ It was the voice of
his son who had stolen in, and was now sob-
bing violently as he tried to raise her head
in his little arms. He had been for ‘weeks
her only nurse, had long since learned to
act for himself. He bathed her teiirples, he
cbafed her limbs, be invoked bcr wildly to

‘Dead!’ said the man, and beltvas sobered

tone of horror that chilled the blood, and
advancing to the bed side with eyes starting
from their soeckets, he laid his hand upon
her marble brow. ‘then, 0 my God I have
murdered her’! Emily‘,~ Etnily you are not
