of untvontt-d rnagnificcnct-.
rd for the wedding, and all that money
could procure of the rich and rare was put in
requisition for the oct.-nsion. I was selected
for one of the bridesmaids and Isabel presen-
cd us with our dresses, which were of bro-
cade, embroidered with silver roses. Du-
ring tilt‘ Sll0l‘l. time that {’l.lpS:"d previous to
lfkejoy, which called forth the censure of
those who considered stich exultation us un-
womanly and iridelicate. But the conduct
of Colonel Morton was perfectly inexplicable.
His moody and restless manner was ill-suited
to a britlt-groom, and once or twice Icauglit
his eye fixed upon Isabel with an expression
ofsuch dark rzialignity as made me shudder.
One evening we gathered round a cheer-
fil fire, and Colonel Morton at Isabel's re-
quest. had taken his gtll!t1l‘,t\'llt-‘nits he stoop-
ed over his instrument in the art oftuning it,
his vast fell partly open and a slender black
chain, which he bore about his neck. be-
came entangled in the screws. Not perceiv-
ing it. he raised himself suddt-nlyand by this
movement drew frotn its conct‘-alment a small
miniature, which was attached to the chain.
He at first seemed discomposed. and was a-
bout to replace the picture hastily, but upon
hearing ls:ibel’s exclamation ofsurprise. he
turned and held it towards hvr. With it
trepidation strangely in contrast with her
former composure, Isabel eagerly grasped
the picture. It was the face of a delicate
woman. with little beauty but great sweet-
ness of expression, and as I gaz»-d on it, the
features seetiied not unfamiliar to me. With
a merry jest I looked up to tlemand the name
of her whose image thtis lay-upon the bosom
of a bridegroom, but as I did so, I caught
a glimpse oftbe samn dark revcngeful ex-
pression in his countenance, as his eye fast-
ened with serpent like fascination on his
bride. Isabel’s lips quivered as she returned
the'picLure and faintly repeated my question.
‘It. is the image of one whom I have loved
as I shall never love again,’ replied Morton,
passionately; ‘of one who is now an angel
in heaven--of my wife?’
‘Your wife !’ exclaimed Isabel.
‘Yes my fair Isabel,’ said h ,\vli_.ile it sneer
passed over his lip with the oflight-
oing, ‘had you asked me of past life, you
would have learned that whrp yeti were it
1 bribe in the cradle, I was a ht.-=,.'.-"ind 5. a father.
Isabel started, but strove to smile as she
replied :
‘I am older than you suppose I-Valter;
you could scarcely have been wedded so
many years ago, or else time has forgotten
to trace his characters upon your brow.’
Morton smiled gloamily as he said, ‘shall
I tell you of my past history, Isabel? Me

whom you have plighted your faith, though
prud-nceshould have'prt=ceded your promise.

“Y were the verses of the unfortunate-
Ernest Lt-clerc, and fearing lest the painful
story should be revived, I hurriedly threw
tlllem 3010 lsubc-l’s lap, but not before Morton
lltfid Stfen the_hand-writing. As Isabel flung
‘qbem into the burning pile,_Mortcn darted

Seriously alarmed and vexed, Isabel strove

ltn.ining‘po.ssession. until dreading to excite
is curiosity by apparent desire to ficonceal
‘them, Isabel promised to read them aloud if
lhe would return them. Morton accordingly
lplaced the scorched papers on the table, and.
Isabel drawing one from the parcel commen-
ced reading; but anxious to disarnm Colon-
el.\'lorton of any suspicion to which her anx-
iety to secure the papers might have given
rise, she paused and drew a most ludicrous
picture of her poetical lover. She depicted
sr=nt_i.iiierits, his morbid sensibility; and vtt,l~ile
reading thcpceni which happened to be his
lament for his mother, she mimicked his ner.
vous gtstures, and peculiar tone of voice.
Shocked at her cruel mockery ofthe dead. I
had not thought of Colonel Morton, but
iv"... I looked toward him, the expression
of his countenance was almost demoniacal.
Putting his handkerchief to his lip which
was bl-seding profusely, for he had almost
bittcn it through, he pleaded sudden illness,
and withdrew, but the papers disappeared
with him. _
On the night appointed for the wedding a
large and brilliant party were assembled.--_
'Ihe apartments were decorated in a style
of unparalleled magnificence, and everything
displayed the union of wealth and taste. 'I‘h‘e

A s‘.ump orator wishing to describe his
opponent as a soulless man, said:
‘I have heard some persons hold to the
opinion that just at the precise .moment after
one human being dies, another is born; and
that the soul enters and animates the new
born babe. Now I have made particular
and extensive inquiries concerning; my oppo-
nent Mar; and I find that for some hours pre-
vious to his nativity, nobody died! Fellow
citizens, you may draw the=?itifs§,gnce.’

this remark, which cut Isabel to the soul,but
she only shuddercd and was silent. Colonel
Morton, fixing his eye upon her agitated
countenance, resumed:
‘I know not what you read upon my brow,
Isabel, but it is certealnlv fortv five. years
since I first I)t‘l'lf‘l(l the. liéht nfday. I was
born in a Wigwam; my ftttber"w:is ti Cana-
dian fnr-trader, my motlrvr an Indi. 11.’
At these words both Isabel and myself
gave an involuntary start, which could not
escape his notice.
‘Yes,’ he continueJ, ‘the blood of the red
man, the first possessor of the soil. runs in
my veins. and lam prouder of that title to
my native nobility, than iflilre my gentle
bride, I could trace my descent from one of
the greatest Norman robbers. My father
sent me to Paris Tor my education btil lsoon
wearied of books, and sought to studdy men.
A life ofadventure. sticb as rarely falls to
the lot of an individual in modernrtimcs has
been mine. I married when scarcely more
than a mere boy, and my wife and son lived
in luxury and splendor on a rich es-
tate in one of the I-Vest India Islands,
while I * “" “ no rnatter; this is not

I am riotviailloné and solitary man, but there
is a debt due me which yeti mifgentle bride
must pay.’ His eyes glared fiercely upon
her as he spoke. but when Isabel raised her
tearful eyes to his_face, he banished all tra-
ces of emotion as by a single effort, and with
the sweet looks and honicd words of love-
like blaodishments, sought to sooth her troub-
led feelings. ‘Now tell me, Isabel, saidihc
after a pause, ‘are you still willing to wed
the stranger, with the faint of Indian blood
' in his veins, and for aught yoti know, the
stamp of Cain upon his brow .7’
‘Walter Morton,’ replied Isabel solemnly,
as she stooped her lips to his broad forehead,
‘if the brand of Cain were written upon that
brew in characters ofbloed} I would not be-
lieve your crimes had stamped it there.’
For a moment Morton seemed touched and
softened, ‘Come my Isabel,’ said he, 'we are
growing too serious, let us seek a gayer
theme. Tell me of your early days; did
you never inert with one whom you once
loved even as you new love Walter Morton?
‘Never!’
‘If this little cabinet of yours could be un-
sealed Isabel. would'it not tell some tales of
lovers’ vows .7’ asked Morton, as he laid his
hand on her writing desk.
Glad that the conversation had taken a
gayer turn, I placed the cabinet on the table
and insisted that Isabel should examine and
burn her love tokens in the presence of her
lover. With a gay laugh she consented,
and as she tossed over many a letter which
contained the genuine outpouringofaffection
You love me-—even now you would forgive
the shame I have put upon you, and wed

As he uttered these fearful words he strode-

The whole house was, of course, a scene of
confusion. Isabel was in strong bysterics,

never again appeared in society._ Bowed
down with shame and sorrow, outraged in
her pride as well as in her aflections,
she took refuge in a distant country town.
and in strict retirement endeavored to conceal
her disgrace. But it was not until time had
destroyed her matchless beauty, and raised
up another generalion.—to.whom the events
of youth were but as legends _of olden days.

or forgot the blight which had fallen upon
