The emotion with which her name
was titteyeti lent a thrilling tone to that
deep, low voice. She started, and met
his earnest gaze 2- but her eyes drooped
again to tire floor, and the warm blood
came to her face and neck, then left them
paler than before; but no word followed
the glance, and they remained a few mo-

He fell on his knees and caught her
hand, hat’ the light had faded away
motionless as marble, and aswhitej. and
so another hour of dreadful doubt passed
on.
Again a deep flush colors her face,
brow, neck, with an almostgpurple hue;
her pulse beats with :1‘ bounding motion,
as if it would burst; ll groan of pain
escapes her lips; it passes away, and she
opensher eyes calmly as before, and her
-consciousness has all returned.
Then Selwyn knelt by the bedside
and took her white hand in his, and she
looked in his face, with a fond but and
and melancholy smilc,and said, in a
weak, soft voice, almost a whisper:
‘Vi remember all, tic.’-tr Selwyn;

‘- Oh 5" she groancd ngniii, as the,‘

Then she opened her eyes once more 5
withn look of infinite pity for iulm, and
.in a weak, whispering voice, said :—
&‘Be strong to bear, dc.-ar.Sel_wyn; 1 am
dying.’-’ ~ ,.
- He knew-it already in his heart, but '
the uttered words startled him with a
shock of—pain.- ,
,“_God help us, Edith; but the surgeon

Her eyeesought his with a look of
holy, infinite love; a look that passed
into his soul,‘_a’r_xd_ rested there, a" sweet,
and light that clung to' him through life.
-“Selwyn! Wednesday was to have
been the day of our bridal, and—hnd—--
Ish_all be in heaven Within the hour,
Selivyn.”
A shudder passed over his frame, but,
with the eflbrt. of a giant, he subtitled
the outward and visible form of his ago-
ny, pressed the white hand to his lips,
rose on his feet, and beckoned to the
minister, who had been sent for with
the surgeon, to approach. Then he
drew out the ring that had been pre-
pared for the "Wednesday," gave it to
him, and pointed to Edith. He then
raised her gently from the bed, and pus-
sed his arm around her slender waist —
His right hand held here, her pale head
rested on his breast, and her eyes were
turned up toward his with a look’ as if
her soul was passing to his own. ‘
The ministry opened the book and
said: . 3'
“Dearfy beloved, we are gathered to-
gether here in the sight of God and be-
fore this company, to join together this
man and this woman, in holy matrimo-
ny. _
“I_reqnire_and charge you both, (as
ye will “swat at the dreadful day of
judgment, when the secrets of all hearts
shall he djscloscd ).tbat if either of you
know any impediment why ye inay not

Then the minister continued,
said :
“Selwyn, wilt thou have this wouzan

l her in sickness and in lxezuth, and, forsa-
' king all others, keep thee only unto her
so long as ye? both Shall live 7"
Those who were present subbed aloud
gear af[er tear rolled down the olleek.-. of
the minister ; and Selwyn groan-ed,

The minister said again:
“Edith, wilt thou have this man to be
thy wedded husband? Wilt thou obey
him and serve him, love," honor, and
keep mm in sickness and in health, and
forsaking all others, keep the only un-
to him so long as ye both shall live ?"
Edith's gage was withdrawn from
Selsvyn’s face; she looked at the minis
ter joined their hands together, placed
his own upon them, and said, in solemn
tone :
. .“What God hath joined together, let
no man put asunder." .
The fair head leaned more heavily
-against Selwyn’s breast, and be bent
down and kissed the soulless form before
‘him. I

Selwyn laid her on the bed again,
' and stood at her side. His soul seemed
to leave him in maddened frenzy to seek
his Edith ; it seeimed to have left his
body still with consriousni-as: he felt

and he wrestled as o. strongman with a

opened htseyes again, there lay the cold

ruler of this Territory, in the progress of
a tour around some parts of his domin-

and addressed formally by a committee
appointed for the purpose.

new territory, to a share in all tho_ricb-
es which produce for the settlers, and co-
peciaily to the freedom and the good or-
der which the settlement was ‘destined
to enjoy. In speaking of the ricbesof
their new home they said they did not
speak of that which was computed by
dollars and dimes, but of theticilxties
which their situation furnsshed"for high
intellectual and moral culture, which so
elevates humanity and al tea to God."
They hoped that those institutions, of
science and religion which they were
planting, would be fostered and promo-
ted by the Governor's administration and
brought to perft'cl.i-"n. "Whi;e we pro-
vide ourselves here," they go on to say,
" with homes domestic sanctuarierfor our
wives and children, we are also fully de-
termine to plant those institutions which
are the great. bulwarks of freedom and
happiness. We come here with the bi-
ble in one hand, and the Spelling-book
in the other, with the high purpose of
laying the one on the Altar of I F700
Church and the other upon the Desk Ol
