To the Editor of THE LIBERAL Nelliu’s h cart seemed completely crush. ed by the knuwledge of her unfortunate conditinn, and trum a gay, happy girl with no thnuuht of cure or sorrow, she changed into a. [miserable heart-broken Woman, with nu energy to battle with her grief, and having no desire to live in a world devoid of all happiness to her. Her unlmpny fatl er saw his potted darlng pining and g1 ieviug dav after day Her unlmpny fat] at. saw his potted darling pining nnd glieviug day after day withuut being able to comfortâ€"he too changed fur the Worst». From being a pieasum and ugreurzble man, he became morose mu] lInsuciableâ€"Wnllld wander nver the farm and Lhrungh the house as though in seavch of eomething lost. and would at times appe:.r almost childish. A whim tau k pnuession of his mind in regard to ins unmey, which was invested m a reliable lmnk. He imagined the bank tn he on the verge of failure and resolyed to withdraw his money and hide it where he eunld Junk each day to see that it. was 3208. He did so, and as each load of grain was taken to the Turouto market and sold, the price was carefully added to the sum; One ()ctuber night the hired man re- turned from market and handed as usual the proceeds nf the (133’s sale to Mr. Lee, whn retire-d tn his mum to place this ad- dition tn the deuosit a'ready stored. In a few n=inn¢cs a tearful- cry was heard prucveding from the mom. and on rush- ing in the old man “as found on his knees beside a." nan trunk, screaming “I’ve hven rnhlwl ! I’ve been robbed ! ” with all the passion of a. madman. It was found on examination that some one had entered the mun: by u. Windi, and had illdevd rnbbcd him of his boarded was tm had an had in( treasu: Search Was made on all sides, and a thorough investigatiul! took plyce, but nothing served tn throw suspicion on any one. The unly m e likely to be guilty was VVllsun, and as he had been absent fur «nu-e “mks \‘lalllllg friends in the States. llu was {£66 from all blame in the matter. Weeks lyussed by when Wilson return- ed In Canada, mad for a time seemed Inm'h klnrler tn Nelhe, and nympathized wILh Mr. Lr-e 'm Ins loss. The excite- mme uvcr the, talk of the robbery substd- ed, although the neighbors often whisper- ed tugether nver the mystery,for a sum of nearly four thousand dullars stolen from a farmer‘s house was an event of rare oc- currenCe. One night, early in JanuM‘v, \Vilson returning from a curullsul held in a bai- romn some distance lrum home. found his wife aheent. The alarm was given and a. search made. Her Lracks in the snuw directed them to a. hillside not far from the floor, and there lying in the drift, with u. horrible gash in her throw, from which the life<blund had erased to flow, was all that remained of the once gay and happy Nellie. “Died by her own hand," was the verdict of the curoner’s jury, but death caused by ill-usage and dx nnkenness was the "efflch of but! Sur- ruwing friends and neighbors. A more dreadful event, however, was gum) to startle the dwellers in that. qluet neighborhoodâ€"nit was the death by her own hand of poor Nellie. The pnor old father, whose troubles. seemed to come with such crushing fnrc -, was for a time Completely pl'usll‘ated. The anus and daughters, who haul c-nne tn the funeral. tried to induce him to turn Wilson from his home, as being the Cause uf all his sorrow. Mr. Lee per- sistently refused to do so. His ‘pnor Nellie had luved the uizu , and for her sake he should cuntnnw to share his h-nne as )ung as he Wished to do so. \Vilsun continued to remain at the home- stead until sprng opened. when he snu- denly disappeared forever from Canadian life. The old man, worn down by grief and sorrow, died a few IUJllthS after, and the farm paused into the hands of strang- ers. no! nne cf the family desiring to re- main where an many Sud events hai oc- cart-ed.

The firing has ceasedâ€"the white flag is float- ing, and under its protection we puss over the ghastly spot. The pale moor.- beams seem to shrink in utfright from the dead faces, upturned, and the stars to hide themselves behind the scudding clouds, while the wind shivers as tho moans of the dying fill the air. As we pass on we hear a faint voice, and follow~ ing the sound we find a. Northern soldier, “done to death" by one of war’s dread missiles, breathng his last far away from friends and home. We look again, and reader, that grey~lmired soldier, with the death pallor creeping over hlS face, is Frank Wilson, whom we have known in Canada. We pause. and we hear him asking a comrade to listen to his story. He knows that. death is near, and bitterly regrettiug a. misspent life, he is desirous of explaining his share in the tragedy of that far ofi' Omnad‘ian home. With the first act of the robbery he had nothing to (In, but on looking over Nellie’s desk he found a letter nddressud to himself, in which she told him that it was she who stole her father's money. thinking that if her husband continued his evil course they would soon be home- less, as her brothers and sisters Were urg- ing the father to turn them from his hnuse. With the money thus stolen the unhappy Woman had thought to secure the means to provide a. home in some new land where they would be unknown, and where her husband might begin a: new life. She placed the gold inâ€" an earthen jar and buried it on the hillside, where her dead body was afterwards found. Her reâ€" morse, however, was so great when she witnessed her poor old' father's grief, thnt it became unbearable, and she resdvrd to replace the money in the trunk from which she had taken it. Befure an op- portunity of doing so presented itself, winter set in with a. severe frost, which rendered her intention impossible. Her state of mind grew desperate and she de- termined to take her own life, and. did so. Nellie told her sad story to her husband in the must piteuus termsâ€"described the exact spot where the snow covered ground: hid'the jar, and besu‘tight him with tho most pathetic elm'eaties to procure it as: soon as spring opened, and resture it tor her father. She knew he would fmgiva his erring child as freely as she trusted her Heavenly Father Would pardon her grievous sins. Her appeals to her husband were in vain. He remained as we have seen with Mr. Lee until the spring-â€"searched for the jarâ€"found it, and with the contents started for the United States. With the money Wilson continued his evil course â€"as the years rolled on his ill-gotten gold melted away, and he became almost desâ€" perate. The Rebellion broke out and he enlisted in the Northern Annynvliere we find him dying, friendless and alone. exâ€" Cept 'iy the pirying comrade. who moist- ens his parched lips, and listens to llle sorrowful story. As the grey light of morning breaks UVCL the field the troubled spirit leaves the poor bruised and bleedâ€" ing body, and With a. piteous cry for mercy is ushered into the presence of God, to whose tender pity and forbear~ ance we leave him with all his faults. Mv sad sketch is ended. I the not pictured from imagination. My story is too true. and as [ often stand by the marble slob that umlks the last resting place of Nellie. and think of her ruined life and of llint nameless grave in Virgin- ia, my heart breathes the wish that the tetnututions that led to such disastrous results Were driven forever from our fair IIIIIHUII wuwm N7- Kl Absolutely Pure.
