ADELAIDE AL rnoc'rsn
Judge not; the working of his brain,
And of his heart ttiou'canst not. see,
What looks to thydim eyes‘a stain,
In God‘s pure light may onlylie
A scar, brought from some well fought field,
Where thou wouldst only faint and yield.
The look, the air that frets thy sight
May be a token, that below
The soul hasclosed in deadly fight
With some internal fiery foe, . .
Whose glance would scorch thy smiling
grace, . ,
And cast thee shuddering on thy face.

CHAPTER I. .
No! 11].) not know by ‘wllat acculent It;
Was that rhiward ’ Ross came to spend a
* weekin August at. the Columbia Hotel. 0‘
Hermon Springs. . .
No! ““1 1 d“ ....i know by what accident
it w .. um all th.- Verneys were there. The
home til the \'.-r.ieys is at Painted'Post, as I
suppose you know. But this year the Ver-
neys wok a holiday for a month at the Co-
lumbia Hotel, and while: they were away
from home the ceilings were whitened, the
house was painted inside and out, and new
railings were added to the otttside steps at
the side door. - . ‘
What I do know is that it was at the Co-
lumbia Hotel tbat‘Edward Ross first- saw
Psyche, who was the'youugest daughter of.
the Verncy household. All the world ot
the Columbia llotcl had gone across to the
Soiferiuo House, which was the other side of
the way. There Was a hop at the Solferino
House, and the generil‘public had gone to
the hop. Ross had arrived late, the only
passenger by that little one-horse railway
from Hudson. He came into the great draw-
ing room, and thou bt he was~alone. But,
he was not alone. syche, youngest ofIthc
Verncy girls, was at the piano, not playing,
but looking-over some music which the Jet‘
frev girls had left there. . ‘
If you had asked the gossips of the hotel
why Psyche did not go to the hop whercall
her older sisters had gone, yottgvmuld :linve
been told that shcwas but the halffisister-of
the other Verneys; that since: her 5 mother
died th ese three oldersisters had held chard
rein on poor Psychei that some of them had :
laid down the law that there were so many
of themtbut they must not all go together
tn-an fr’olic. In the interpretation of this
law. Pivehe always staid at home if the
party were pleasant, and one or two of the
older sisters staid if it were likely to be stu-
pid. This; .is what the gossips of the hotel,
would have said, and this is what I believe.
Anyway, it happened that on this particu-
lar evening Edward :Ross threw himself at
length one long sofa in the drawing-room,
not knowing that any one was there. And
little Psyche, not knowing that he had ectne
in, crocned over the J efi‘rcys‘ music, and at
last picked out something front‘Mcrcadantc
which she had never. seenvbcfore, and which
diagnotzuem to her very difficult, and, after
she-11ml read the wholepage down. tried it,
irud“trle.tl~it'again, "in her resolute,” 'wide-
awakegvery satisfactory .way, '
The third time she tried she was quite
well-pleased with her own success, ‘aug
this time, as she came down to the lust sta ,
upon'that first page. Edward Ross’s hand
appeared on ' the top of the page
ready to turn it over. Psyche neither
screamed. nor flinched. She nodded sim:
ply; she was under the inspiration of the
innsic now, and she played well; She
played the whole piece through. Thenube
thanked'her, and she thanked him. '._S_Ihe

twp hours together very'nicely, and by-tht’v. - =»
time the maddening crowd came back from-
the Solferino House, Psycho was not in the
least sorry that she had not gone to the hop,
and Edward Ross was, very glad she bti‘d
not gone. ' ' '
There is a lovely little burnie or erOk
which runs through a shady ravine behin
.gthe Columbia House. I forget; what they
call it. It might be called the Lover’s
Brook, or the Mairlen’s Home, or tbeFalry’s
Bath, orva'nytbing‘lhat verdant, seventeen
thought sweet enough. Age cannot wither ‘
~nor custom'stale its infinite variety.“ Ed-
ward Ross found no difficulty in making up
g. party of the young people at the hotel to
go on a. picnic party up this brook the next
' day. By some device he made Agnes JCT?
may think she would stay at home to flirt
.with a gouty old West Indian, who was far
too gouty to go even to the first fall. This
left. the pretty Psyche free to go. And she
went, in the charming adornment of the un~
domed simplicity of her native mountain
walking dress. And there were quite as
many gentlemen as there were ladies, to
help at all the'hard lords and to lift them at
all the steep climbin‘g's. ‘So Priscilla Ver-
ney had her cavalier, and Polly Verncy,
whom the young men called ‘fBloody
Matty," had her Philip, and the Garner. girls
. were taken pare of and the Spr'agues and
the Qunstahlcs. For every gir, there was a
young man ; and flat niost‘ of the ' separa:
ting places Edward Ross and my pretty
Psyche were together, it was not that they
did not their full duty by society: for they
did. ' ‘
And a very, very pleasant day it was.

lines of‘Temiyson to her one, he had met
Christina Rosetti at a party, and yetIhe
really deferred to Psychc’s own recollection
ot'a stanzaof Mrs. Browning's, which be
had quoted wrong. Psyche was not used
to men who dared show their enthusiasm,
“who dared confess their ignorance, who
dared speak as if it were a matter of course
to trust God’s love, and who owned they
had other objects in life than making money.
Psyche and Edn‘ard Ross returned to the
hotel after a ver happy day.
The next day dward Ross brought out
the largest and best. apparatus for water-
color work that Psyche or any of the girls
had ever seen And before long it proved
thatthough one "had no ,talent for draw-
ing,", and another “could not sketch from
nature." and another “could not do land-
' scatie,”.and another “baled trees.” that on
the broad piazza. of the Columbia House
five or six of them, Psyche, included, could
spend avery pleasant morning. under his
directions producing, often a fASLIlOII, on
various blocks and in various books, the
outline of the blue Hoosac Mountains and
ot the valleys between. And my pretty
Psyche went far beyond any of the rest, be-
cause she did as she was bid; she had no
conceit about her own ways; she waited till
her teacher, could attend to llt‘l‘; she did not
want to attract the attention of all the gen-
tlemen on the play; it and she was not gab-
bling all the time she was working. So
that day they had a very happy day.
it is not within the space assigned to this
story to tell how. pleasantly the rainy morn-
ing pissed when Edward Ross read the
Earthly i'aradise aloudto them, nor to des
cribe the excursion which he organized to
Williams college commencement, nor the
party which be ill die to; see the Shakers,
nor theevc ling concert ot'vccal and instru-
mental music which ' be arranged, and for
which he had such funny bills rinted at .
Pitt field. No; these and other tr umphs of
'tbatjiw'e'ek, long remembered, shall be unrc.
ended.
Oi its history this is all that shall be told ;
that on Saturday Ed‘ward Ross told Psyche
that he loved her more than. he loved his
ownllife.‘ She told him thrt she loved him
monothanshc loved hers. And so it was
thin-in the exquisite joy of the new dis-
coyery of what life is and what it is for,
Edward Ross accompanied the Verneys on
their way home to Painted Post on Monday.
There he asked for and there he gained the
consent of Psyche‘s father for their speedy
marriage. .
On Tuesday he had to go home to Boston,
for his holiday was over. It was a. bitter
porting, as you may imagine, between him
and his Psyche, who had never been separat-
ed for more than ten hours at a time till
now. For the last tarewpll Psyche took
him on her favorite walk at Painted Post.
It is only less beautiful than the “Vestal’s
Glade," or whatever we determined to call
that burnie at Hermon. '
“Dear Psyche,” said he to her, “year i fe
is mine henceforth, and mine is yours. ‘ God
knows I have but one wish and one prayer
henceforth, and those are‘to make‘yOu bap-
, It is because I wish that" you may be’
happy, thatI ask one thing now. Do you
think you can grant it? It. is a very great
thing to ask.” ‘
“Can I i" said the proud girl. “Why
darling, you do notknowmeyet.” She had
payer called him ‘édarling” iii! an hour he-
ore. ..
“You must notpromisc till you' know,”
said Edward Ross.
5‘1 can promise, and I will promise now.
There is nothing you think right to ask
which I shall not think it right to do.’_’
“Dearest, I do think this is right : I'know
it is right, It is because I know it', because
.chrshallbe ten thousand times happier, and
5 ' ‘ l “ ' '
showed it toilet, and read to her some’gcf license I sba i be ten thousand times better
And so they spent ‘- ~

” And he paused.
hallo! you; sakc- _
‘ 3;.“ by do you stop, my dear _;,dwardt I
have promised. What shall I o 3" '
“Dearest you are to do nothing. Simply
you are not to ask what my. daily duty is,
and you are not to ask inc tointroduce you
to my friends. It separates me less from
my sunbeam than most men's pares. YZith-
out knowing it you can help me in a t on-

will only bring care on you and griefbn me.
Can we not live, as you trust me and as I
love you, Without my .worrying you with
these petty cares f" . - . ' W4
' '“Is that all ?" said Psyche, withber pretty
laugh. “Why. darling, if it were to sweep

you told us—I would sweep too;- If it. were

sight of her pretty home. 7
How pretty it was! It was in Roxbury,
so it- was half‘country; and there wasa
pretty garden, with a little greenhouse such
as Psyche had always longed for. Nay,
there was even a fern house, with just the
fame she. loved, and with ftb‘ose other
Himalaya. ferns which he had talked of on
that lovely first‘dayi‘of all. And there was
h'pettfeet grandp‘ano‘o“u tour; so sweet,
itnd only one pickle of sic ‘on the open
rack, and that was the efpadhnte of the
first evening. And when they went up
stairs, Psycbe‘s own dressing-room was
papered with the same paper which her
pretty room had at herald home, and the
carpet on the floor was the some, and every
dear picture 01 her girlhood-ls collections
was duplicated; and just where the~cage of

No one called,.you. see. But: I do‘ not
‘think Psyche cared for that. She always
to receive them. Both she and Edward
were alone fully half their lives, though
"sometimes he would call her into the study
to work with him, and often would come to
her to work with her. He would ask her
if she was lonely, and be planned inSits
from his sisters, who were very men girls,
and his mother. who was perfectly lovely,
and, after a while, from some oi the Western
girls whom Psyche had known at the
.Ingiiamv University. But never by any
accident, did any, visitor come who made
anv allusion , to his -'daily business. He
never spoke of it to Psyche. and she, dear
child. thought of it much less than you
would think. She had promised not‘to ask,
and she had sense to learn that the best
waynot to ask was-not to care. You, Ver-
satilla dear—and a girl of principle who de-
termines not to care will not care. She
knows how to will and to do.
[do not‘know whether Psyche the more
enjoyed the opera or the pictures which site
and Edward saw together; There seemed
to her to be no nice private house in Boston
where dear Edwarddid-not' seem welcome
when he sent in his card and asked if he
and 'tlrs. Ross might ‘ see the pictures.
Psyche often shit] that she owped more
Corots and Cuisines, more; Daubignys 'snd
Marles and Millets and Bonnats than any~
“lady in the land, and'tliat she kept them in
more galleries. At the opera they often
found pleasant people ‘ whom they knew
sitting next, to them; and they always.
chided him that he was such » a stranger;
“and he always introduced Psyche to them
as his wife as proudly as a king; and With
manypf these people she talked pleasantly,
and some of them she met and bowed to at
church or as they were driving. But. none
‘ofthem never called upon her, nor did she
call upon them One day she said to Ed-
ward that she believcd he knew more peo-
ple than anybody else in the world. IIAnd
he said with a sigh, “I am afraid i do; and,
she saw that it worried him. and so the
dear child said no more.
In all this happy time Psyche had had no
visit from her own sisters. Perhaps that
was one reason why it was happy. But it
happened after a happy life of a year and
more, that a darling baby boy came to
Psyche to make her wonder how she could
have thought her life before was life at all.
And the birth of the boy and his wonderful
'fts were ' duly reported in the letters to
a'iuted Post, and then there came Iquite a.
hard letter front Priscilla, putting in Iform
the complaint 1 that neither of the Sisters
had ever been asked todinake Psyche a visit
sine the , 43 em rre .
Psychey ‘svhtfwedq the letter to Edward on
the moment, and he laughed.
“‘I have only wondered it did not come
before.” ,
Psyche tried to laugh too, but sliceame
very near crying. it] have not wanted them
to come before, and I don’t want them to
come now.” . . _
“Then they shall. not ‘ come.” said Ed-
ward, laughing again, and taking her on his
knee. .
“Bill I do want them .to come, partly. I
wish they had come sud had gone,.and"t_hnt
it was all over. It does not seem quite nice
thatfm‘y civn sisters should not visit me."
“ Well, my darling, as to that, they are
not your own sisters; and even 11‘ Mrs.
Grundy does not think it quite nice,I‘-do not- '
know why you ‘and I should care, Still it -
you want to have them and have it over let
them come. ‘Olz'm memim‘mjuoabit.‘ That
means, ‘You will be glad to rememberi ."
“Psyche said she knew that; and sh'epull-
ed his whiskers for him b'ecauseibe pretend:
ed. to think-that she did not; and he kissed
her, and she kissed him. And settlement
day, after Psyche had written ten. different
letters and had torn them up, she concocted.
the following, which, as it met Edward’s ap-
proval, was. dispatched to Painted Post by
the mail of the same evening: I .
RoxavnrMay-lfirla-z,
“Ms Dr: BursctLLA—In cod no must
not think tha' Edward has prevente me from

dearest little follow that ever lived.” ‘ '
“Come as soon}; you can, forgive mm“...
- 25th, an‘d’if you .
do not come soon it will be a very shortIvisit.”'
And thenvtbe letter went on‘7 tibout Ann
Garner’s engagement, and the new styles
for prints, and so on. .
S the invitation was well over.

ney’. and Bloody Mitry,—tbeir_zasister,fi.would

the College Library, and while they were
looking at the old missals and evangelists-

might present Mr. Longfellow to them; and
then found Priscilla and! presented him to
her and to Paych'c.. And when Mr. Lung:
fellow found they ‘Werc‘sfraugers, behold
them just what ahey‘hhould sec and how

her album, and he wrote his name in it, and
said he was sorry he could not stay longer;
but be pointed out to her some of the tnost
interesting autographs there. And then
they started for the-Museum, and by great
good luck they met Lowell in Professors’
Row. And Edward- stopped the carriage,
uctually,and hailed him,and asked him it‘
he would be at home in an hour : ‘and when
Mr. Lowell said he was engaged with a,

most beautiful little family““dinner', and in’
the evening they all went to Selwyn’sThen-
tre, where was another charming play.
There was quite a siiiiilarjjday on the
strength of a word from Agnes, Agnes was,
so much awed at first by. Edwardlshc‘spiltt-
ble condescenslon and by-bis giving up so
much of his time‘to them that she did not .
dare to be cross for the flrst'four days. But.
she did not say to himth Poiiy’s pretense,
of letters was allnonsense, and that, for her
“part, site was interested in all politics and ‘
social reform; that at an era like that,

1y given to politics und politicians. They
went to the state house, and sat 'in a start of
private gallery when the young Duke of
Gerolstein, who was on his travels, was re
ceived on the floor ; and several very hand-
some and very nice young senators ' and
representatives came up and were presented
to the ladies. And when it came time for
lunCh, Edward invited three ot the very
nicest to go down to Parker’s to a little
dinner be had ordered there, and they had a
Vlolly time in which Agnes studied social
eform wi h a very merry senator from E5-
sex countyquite to her heart's content.
As for riscilla, she spoke but coldly of
literature and politics, though she dil not
object to the dinner at Parker’s or. to flirt.

that her heart was with the poor and sinful;
that she would gladly do something in this

vention was in session,~,.and among the pres-
byters and delegates Edward] seemed as
much at home and at ease as among the lit.
wall and the oliticisn‘s. He presented Dr.
Tempi and. r.'Scuth and Mr. Teinagle to
the gin . and these gentlemen explain , to
them all the proceedings. At the little] rich
for delegates and their wives the bishop
spoke co‘trteously to all of them, and Ed-
ward br lugbt to them the very famous
Bishop of Parabata,‘ who was on his travels
to a Eon-Anglican council. After the lunch
they card Mr. Tillotson preach, and then
they were whisked .down to the North

entertainment fordestitute silo, girls. And
here Mrs. Oberlin, a very fa ous philan.

NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablcst writers on every“
subject. Printed fro..i new ty c, and illustrat-
tfil With Several Thousand ‘ngrnvings and
tips. . - . ,
The work originally published under the title of
“The New American Oy‘clopzedia” was com leted
in 1803, since which time the wide circa ation
which it has attained'in all parts of the United
States, and of the signal developments which
have taken place in eycry branch of science, lite-
rature, and art, have induced the editors and uh-
llsliers to submit it to an cxactvand thorong rc-
vision, and to issue a. new edition entitled Tm:
AMERICAN Crcnora-zma.
Within the last ten yearsIthc progress of discov-
ery in every department oft-Knowledge has made a
new work of reference an imperative want.
, The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc-
curred, invoiving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil_ war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
theold work appeared. has happily been coded,
and a newcoursc ‘of commercial and industrial :15:-
tivity has beencornmcnccd. _
. Large accessrcns to our geographical knowledge
Evy. bccnrnndc by the indefatigable explorers of
rich. ., - . .
'The ', tpolitlcal revolutionsct‘thclastdecadc,
with t 0 natural result of the lapse of. time, have
brought into public‘vicw a. multitude of new men,
whose names are in every‘one’s mouth, and or
whose lives ever one is curious to know the ar-
ticulars...Grent attics have been fought: on im-
r
are as yet preserved only iii the newspapers or in
the transient_publications of the day, but which
ought now to take, their place in permanent an-
tbcntic history. - . .
- In preparing the present edition for the press, it
has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish .nn accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventionsin the practical arts. as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events. ‘
, The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and. with the most ample re-
giources for carrying it: into a. successful terminal
on. ’
None 01 the original stereotype plates have been
used, but everypagc has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a. new Cycloptedla, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with for greater pecuniary expenditure. and with
such improvemeu s«:in its composition as have
been suggested by anger experience and enlarged
knowlct ge. 3‘ . -‘
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of Pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucldity and area to the. explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and natural history, andtdeplct the, most famous
and remarkable features’ ofscencry, architecture
and tart, as well as thoxvarious processes of me-
chanics and. manufactures., Although intended
for instruction rather than embellishment, ‘no
pains have been spared to insure their artistic ex-
cellence ' the cost: of their execution is enormous,
and it is believed that they will find a welcome re-
and worthy of its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. .It will be completed in
