At twenty-four he had married Alsaeia de Morens. ayoung and beautiful French girl, Whom he had met during his Euro- pean tour. He was bitterly deceived in her, and in himself as well. He had fancied that he loved her, and when it was too late he made the discovery that he had mistaken passion for love. He cooled toward her before the first six months of' their married life had past, but if she had made herself worthy he might have yet been won to love her. And though he had loved Constance seven years, it was only to-day that he had felt free to tell her the sweet story. But she was, by nature, fickle and un- prinnipled, and in the second year of their marriage she committed a crime. A thefhuâ€"and the sufferer was an English lady of high rank. The family diamonds were stolen, and it cost Alison the half of his handsome fortune to save his wife from disgrace. As it was, she was pro- hibited from ever leaving France under a penalty of being at once given over to justice. You have been in love, know full well all the varied emotions which fill the soul when first it knows its low is recipro- cated. But Craig had better reason than most of us have to be particularly happy. He had been that very day lifned out of the depths. A cloud, which for ten years had covered him, had dissolved, and left sunlight and glory over his way. T0~night, for the first time in ten years, Alison Craig was happy. Be asked for nothing more. He had just parted from Constantine Reir, and she had promised to be his wife. His heart was yet beating fast from the pressure of the sweet head. which had rested there; his lips were yet warm with the first shy kiss he had taken from her mouth. The lines on his face would have told you that he had suffered a good deal in life. The sensitive mouth; «the skin delicate as a woman’s ; the soft, silky brown hair, all indicated an organization exquisite in its firmness, with a boundâ€" less capucity for joy or sorrowâ€"an 0r- ganization, which, I cannot help think- ing, it is to be regretted that any living thing should possess. since in this world there are so many discordant things7 and so much of bitterness mingled with every sweet. You can judge how any glaring dis-l He recoiled, and grasped the ragged grace like this would affect a_man of rock behind him for support. Alisen’s sensitive nature. Proud to a.l The Single word, more like a groan, fault, and coming from one of the oldest\ than anything also, escaped him: A tall, slender, dark-haired man of thirty, or thirty-five, with deep set dark eyes, which just now had in their clear depths that expression ‘of perfect peace and content rarely seen in the eyes of those who have passed their first youth. On the little rocky promontory just below the harbour of Clifi'ville, Alison Craig stood alone. In 1852, Whittier wrote a poem, under this title, which is just now of peculiar in- terest. The “Bourbon Neapolitan,” the “Base Gambler for Napoleon’s Crown,” and the Pontifical “ Fiber," are now no longer among the temporal sovereigns of Europe : “ Great peace in Europl ! Order reigns From Tiber’s hills to Dmube’s plains!” So say her kings and p ‘ests; so say The lying prophets of o r day. Go lay to earth a listening ear; l The tramp of measured inarches hear; The rolling of the cannot’s'wheel, The shotted musket’s murderous peal, The night alarm, the sentry’s call, The quick-eared spy in but and hell! From Polar Sea. and tropic fen The dying groans of exiled men l The bolted cell, the galley’s chairs, The scaffold smoking with its stains! Orderâ€"the hush of brooding slaves! Peaceâ€" in the dungeon vaults and graves ! 0 Fisher! of the world-wide net, With meshes in all waters set, Whose fabled keys of heaven and hell Bolt hard the patron’s prison cell, And open Wide the banquet hall_ Where priests and kings hold carnival l Weak vassal tricked in royal guise, Boy Kaiser with thy lip of lies ; Base gambler for Napoleon’s crown, Barnacle on his dead renown! Though Bourbon Neapolitan, : Crowned scandal, loathed of God and man; And thou, fell Spider of the North; Stretching thy gieut feelers forth, , Within whose web the freedom dies‘ 0f nations eaten up like flies! Speak, Prince and Kaiser, Priest and Czar I if this be Peace, pray what is War? Resisting Temptation. The Peace ofi Europe. Sigiitmmm. M. Teefy: ESQ Why Alison should be at all interested in that fact he did not understand, but something led him to take a few steps down the hill, that he might have the boat in sight. But it had accomplished its errand, evidently, for it was already I pushing off again ; but it had left behind ‘a woman. A tall, graceful shape, clad 'in black, the face concealed in the close [hood of the cloak she wore, but to the I‘eye of the-man who watched her there ‘was something terribly familiar in her lmuvements. Involuntarily he uttered ‘ a cry. 7 But now it was ended. That morning he had read in a French paper, more than two months old, that Alsacia was dead. She had been murdered by her paramour, in an obscure Italian town in tho vicinity of Venice. As soon as he read the tidings, he went to Constance. No matter what was said â€"they understood each other, and were hapBy. Far 01f below the lighthouse a vessel had been anchoring since early morning. As he stood there, communing with him- self', Alison’s eyes were strangely drawn toward that unknown ship. Even as he gazed, a boat put off from her and rowed rapidly to shore. The men pulled w1th a will7 and the tide favoured them. It was only a little while before he heard the hoarse grating of the boat’s keel on the sand. They were landing in a little sandy cove just above the promontory. When he parted from her, he had come out there on the cliffs to be alone with his new happiness. It was so strange and sweet that he hardly i'ealized it. He needed time to help him under- stand his latitude. In all these years, Alison sufl'ered torture. To be thrown with her con- stantly, as he wasâ€"to see her cheek red- dened at his comingâ€"to know that her voice trembled whenever she spoke to himâ€"to note the swift flash of light that filled her dark eyes when they rested on himâ€"-â€"and yet to feel guilty if he touched her hand~0h, it was very bitter for him! At the time Alison came home, she was just twenty, and a lovelier girl there was not in the whole country. She was a blonde, with golden hair and complex- ion to match. But strange combination I her eyes were black a ripe sloes. In her she was pure and fresh as the snows of her own New-England hills ; and, of course, she and Alison loved each other â€"â€"they could not help it. It was fate! He struggled manfully against it; but in vain! heart and soul he was hers, and he was powerless to save himself. But there was one thing honor required him to do, and he did it. He could not make her his wife, and he must never let her know that she was dear to him. So he fettered himself with the iron bands of a strong will, and maintained toward her the gentle, different air which one friend may hold toward another. She had seen him before, but now she advanced more hurriedly, and as she paused by his side she threw back her hood and showed her face. \ ‘ But he did not deceive Constance. Her own patl etic heart told her that he loved her, and the strangeness of his behaviour Heaused her many hours of wretchedness. Still, she hoped on, and declined all offers, and remained true to a. love she had never confessed. When he reached home, he found Constance Bier domiciled there. Her father, who was an old friend of Colonel Craig, had died, and left his daughter to the colonel’s care. Alison Craig made strenuous efforts to discover her whereabouts, but. without availâ€"~and after a time he gave it up, and returned to his own country. I suppose the law would have decreed his freedom, if he had chosen to appeal to it, but this he could never do. His pride stood in the way. So he lived on in that sort of dread uncertainty which is so much more wearing than any reality, however terrible. ’ and most aristocratic families in Vir» ginia, he could not bear the thought of having his friends ever made cognizant of what had befallen him. In conse- quence he did a very foolish thingmhe resolved to keep his unfortunate marriage a secret, and to guard Alsacia carefully lest she might again be led into disgrace. He might have saved his pains, for his wife was a woman who could not be kept i from evil. In the third year of her marâ€" riage she eloped With an Italian, named Cari, land went with him no one knew Whither. Her death would have given him hap- piness and Constance. Only one terrible instant did the tempâ€" tation assail him, for he cast it away,and sprang forward to draw his wretched wife to a place of safety. She must have misinterpreted his movement, for she started back, and a wild shriek of despair broke from her lips as she felt nerself going over the cliff. He turned then to Alsacia. The full moon, round and red, was rising in the east, and dropped its radiance on her forehead. In the pure light. she was almost beautiful again. No one knew of their meeting. If he did this crime it would never come to the knowledge of man. ‘ Seven or eight feet below the summit her clothes caught on a thorn bush, and Alison, flinging off his coat, crept down the edge of the clifi and grasped her arm. A narrow shelf of rock, not more than two inches wide, gave him a precarious foothold, and for a moment he paused to get breath. Their faces were close to- gether. She smiled, and in that smile something of the old freshness and purity came back to her face. The account he was to give to Can stance he did not consider. He should tell her that an obstacle which could never be surmounted had arisenâ€"he trusted himself to think no further. Her back was toward the hayâ€"she was standing on the very brink of the cliff â€"-a. single backward step, and she was lost! For an instant the devil was in Alison Craig’s heart. The temptation to pull her off, and be forever rid of her, was strong upon him. “ Never!” be said hoarsely. “If I left you to perish I should be a murâ€" dererl” “ It is useless,” she said, gently; “ you cannot climb to safety with a. dead weight like me. Save yourself, and let) me go 1” He made one frantic effort to reach another ledge four or five feet above, but his foot slippedâ€"he staggeredâ€"and all was over I Alsaeia never moved after she was hurled, at shapeless mass---on the rocks belowâ€"but Alison was taken up alive and carried to the residence of the woâ€" man he loved so well, where he slowly recovered under the careful nursing of Constance; and when the hue of health again mantled his cheek they were mar- ried. but Constance never knew that Alsaeia was aught to the man whom she had wedded, and, perhaps; it was better thus. Two thoughts like lightning passed through his brain. Constance must never know his disgrace, and Alsacia must be got away from that vicinity as soon as possible. Once away, he must take her to the uttermost end of the earth, and bury himself and her in some desert solitude, where no whisper of the world they had left could ever reach them. If C ‘aig had been a woman, he would have forgiven the crlminal, for she was penitent, and a woman will forgive any sin if the transgressor is penitent. But a man sneers at repentance, and never truly forgives, because forgiving is for- getting, and a man always remembers. If the earth would only have opened and swallowed him up, Alison would have been satisfied, but the days of mir- acles are over, and there remained only the dread alternative of. facing it boldly. A YOUNG man in Ohio recently opened a clothing store, and was sent to jail for it. Reasonâ€"the clothing store belonged to an. other man. THE measles are in Brigham Young’s fam- ily. It is unnecessary to add that there are not enough to go around, and several dozens are left without a measle. CAN’T BEAR mumâ€"I never could bear children,” said a crusty old maid to Mrs. Partingtou. “Perhaps. if you could, you would like them better," mildly replied the 1d lady. What he said to her he never knew. He was so stunned, so prostrated by despair that he realized very little of what she wai saying. Dimly he managed to comprehend that Alsacia. was pursued by the hounds of the law â€"- that she hourly lived in the fear of being thrown into prison, and that in this dire extremity she had fled for protection to her hus- band. l “ Alsacia l” The woman laughed. “So, man mart,” she said slightly; “ you are not over-joyed at seeing me ‘? You thought me dead, did you? But I am still in the flesh. That fiend of a Cari nearly gave me my death, but not quite. I killed him though I” she added, savagely, "and that made me happy. Alison, man char, why do you not bid me welcome ?” a little longer,’ but hurry off, to your chamber, remembering that you have a great deal of' sleeping and growing to do to make you a healthy, happy, useful man or woman. The man with the shroud around him took them to be his ' companion with a sheep on his back, and asked, in a low tone of voiceâ€" ‘ Is he fat ? Meeting with no reply, he repeated the question, raising his voice higher. Is he fat ? Still no reply. Then in a vehement tone, he called. Is he fat? This was enough. The man with the other on his back replied:â€" Fat or lean, you may have him. And dropping the invalid he travelled back to the tavern as fast as his feet would carry him. But he had scarcely arrived there, when along came the in- valid, on foot tool The sudden fright had cured him of rheumatism ; and from that time forward he was a well man. Many children instead of being fresh and plump as a peach, are as withered and wrinkled as last year’s apples, beâ€" cause they do not sleep enough. Some physicians think that their bones grow only during sleep. This I cannot say certainly, but this I do know that those little folks who sit up late at nights are usually nervous, weak, small and sickly. The reaaon why you, my dear children, need more sleep than your parents, is because you have to grow and they do not. They can use the food they eat in thinking, talking, and working, while you should have some of yours for grow- ing. You ought to sleep a great deal; if you do not, you will in activity con- sume all you eat, and have none, or not enough, to grow with. Very few smart children excel, or even equal other people when they grow up. Why is this? Be- cause their heads, if not their bodies, are kept too busy, so they cannot sleep, rest, and grow strong in body and brain. Now, when your mother says ‘Susie, Emily, or Johnic,’ or whatever your name may be, ‘ it is time to go to bed,’ do not annoy her bv begging to sit up ‘just An amusing incident occurred at the depot yesterday.
