TOLD m THE SHADOWS.

My dead had been buried two hours;

I had retained homa The servants respectfully awaited my orders. I told them to open the shutters and draw back the curtain; they did so, and Ood's sweet sunshine came again into the desolate house. Surely, it was better so; when the heart is darkened with the unutterable woe of bereavement, let Nature console us if she can. Within fifteen years three darling children had at long intervals been carried from this house to the cemetery. Shis day my husband had joined them. Kind friends had eome back with me to my dwelling, offering to stay and comfort my crushed spirit. I sent them away, preferring to be alone with my thoughts. Luxury and comfort were around me, wealth was at my command; but my heart was heavy with its losses and wished to bear in solitude its aches. There was another reason why I wanted to be atone, How it is with other widowed hearts. I know not ;butl, in that hour felt an overpowering desire to commune with myself about him who had gone Had I loved him? Ah, yes; no need to ask myself that question. He was my first, my only love. Had he been kind had oar married life been happy? Tea always, yes. He bad suxronnded me with hit devotions, he bad given me riches, position, a beautiful home, and after our children were taken, be had given me redoubled affection. How, then, could 1 regard his memory with anything bat the highest honor? Because I knew tjiat hehad locked a secret from me in his heart, and had earried it to the grave, because the eonvietson that something waa kept back from me, haunted my waking hours and troubled my dreams while he liTed; and now that the turf was being placed upon his grave, the mocking thought rose up before me, and would not down. Never was it named between us; for how could I bring so indefinite an aceuaatkm against him? So for fifteen yearsl had labored, and labored in vain to discover the truth. But the secret 1 eooldnever grasp, though the evidences that lie had one were plam eriough. A great change came upon him with his

marriage. He was often abstracted; I often found him looking intently at my

face; he waa strangely forgetful, especially as to things that had happened before we were wedded. Sometimes, in the early months of our union, he

would surprise me by professing ignorance as to important affairs of people with whom he had been very intimate;

and once, in particular, I became grotty vexed at his forge tidiness. It was in one of those moments of endearment that make married people lovers

.again, that I pot my arm around his

neck and said:

"Now show me, Charles, that your

memory is not so poor as yon pretend.

Tell me what time of day it was that

you kissed me good-by when yon went

to Europe, the year before we were

married?"

Be hesitated, and then replied:

"Why, about midnight, of course."

The time was, in fast, at noon. How

could he forget such things?

I have spoken of his conduct that

led me to think that he had a secret.

Such things cannot be concealed from a

loving wife: they will tell their story

of concealment. Had any further evi

of fifteen years. His secret

died with him: and here I sat alone

when the grave had received him, pondering, not upon his nobility of character, his great, manly heart, his undying affection for me but upon that

What could ft be?

The hoars went on till twilight; I eat absorbed in my thoughts. I paid no head to the servants when they asked me to have sosoe refreshment Visitors had eome to see me; when their names had been repeated to me I

lieve; they will help me to journey the rest of the way without Charles, and to meet, him at the end of the Valley. But O, tell me what shall console me for the dreadful knowledge that in something I know not what he closed his heart against me ?" My father's sensitive face was clouded in an instant. I saw at once that he knew my meaning; I saw that he, too, had knowledge of the secret. Never had I spoken of it before ; now I urged and plead to know it He tried to put me off; he told me that my husband bad been good, and true, and worthy of me. "Don't tell me that !" I cried. "Who knows it better than I? But I see now from your looks and actions that you have known all the time what was amiss with Charles. Tell me; I will know!" Driven to compliance by my vehemence very unwillingly, bat fearing to withhold it my fathei told me, "I tremble," said my father "to tell you the truth. I had hoped that this hour might never come. I knew, and your husband knew, that yon more than suspected the existence of a secret that moat deeply affected your welfare; yet we hoped foolishly, perhaps that time would dull the edge of your quest after that secret "You have forced me to betray my knowledge of it, and I only confess it now because I believe that to tell it to you will be less injurious than to refuse. Summon your utmost strength, then, my child, to hear it If the strange story accuses your dead husband, remember also that it accuses your living

father. We both did what we thought waa for the beat ; in the cruel extremity in which we were placed, we acted to

the utmost of our judgment We deceived yoo, bat reflect, my dear child,

when I have done, and decide if we should have done otherwise.

"Yon will remember that Charles went

to Europe the year before you were

married. Yon will recall that he wrote

regularly to you for six months, and

then came a lapso of three months in which yon received no letters from

him, though you wrote repeatedly.

"Yon will also remember that during

this painful interval of suspense I did

my utmost to cheer and reassure you, and that my faith and prophecies were at last justified by the resumption of Charlie's letters, and his return and marriage to yon soon after the close of the year.

Some satisfactory excuse was made fox

"It waa when six weeks had elapsed

since the receipt of a letter from Charles, and when the fears that beset yon were wearing out your life, that one came to me addressed in the

familiar hand bat sealed with black.

Its contents were very lengthy and threw me into dreadful consternation.

It was written, not by Charles, but by

his brother George Ma twin brother,

whom Charles had never named to us, because they had been estranged foz years, on account of differences about

the family estate. They had met at Heidelburg and renewed theii

brotherly afiectien. The reconciliation

is timely; Charles waa prostrated by malignant disease, and expired in a

few dava in his brother's arms.

George's letter was full to overflow

ing, not only with sympathy ana condolence, (for Charles had told him of

his betrothed), but he took occasion to

write me many particulars about him

self. Thank God that we were reconciled The wrote. "I have buried him here at Heidelberg, bat I shall hold it my duty soon to be with you and

Charles' dear affianced (whose beautiful miniature he bade me to keep,) and

you his last tender messages.

When you see me yon might both think yon saw him. We were twins, and precisely alike in form, features, and manners. You see I write his exact hand. We were a puzzle to our

friends while we were both .here.'

"These words, innocently intended,

gave me an instant clew to my course of action. I deliberately adopted the plan of substituting George for Charles; of having the former assume the name of the latter, return home, and become your husband. I corresponded with

George, giving all the necessary de

tails of my plan, and imploring him, for several reasons, to co-operate. He ' needed little urging. His fancy had been captivated by your picture,

placed in his hands by bis dying

brother. He schooled himself for his part; he returned; you met and mar

ried him as though he had been the lover who left you for a foreign shore and except that his tremendous secret was always too heavy to be borne, and that a guilty conscience would ever show itself you and he have lived a life of rare wedded happiness." "But why should you, father, plot and consummate all this hypocrisy ? Why should he elood all your after-life with deceit?" "My child, judge me not! You were all that was left to me. One after another my ehildren have been taken yon alone remained. Your mother dropped dead with heart disease, the victim of a violent mental shock. You were like her, with her person and temperament. I did not dare to break to you the dreadful news of Charles' death! Bound up in his love as you were, I firmly believed that you would never survive the blow, "These are my reasons. This is the

strange story of your marriage. Was I not right?" How many years are yet to be given me, I may not know; but they will not be long enough nor many enough to allow me entirely to realize my father's astounding tale. In most lives romance dies out with marriage; with mine it had but just began, coupled with a mystery that only death was to disclose. Can I think it real? Can I believe it true?

FAIR WOMEN AND THEIR WAYS,

parents, just as there are foolish, giddy young people, but their age, experience, and the tender love they bear their children entitle their wishes to consideration from even the moat in fntuated couple. Wo would hear of very few runaway matches if the proper sympathy and confidence were maintained between girls and their mothors. The light fancy, the pleasant attraction which a girl feels toward any nice, ngrcoable gentleman should be recognized and respeoted by the mother. She, too, has been along that enchanted pathway. That feeling, however, siiould not be mistaken for the love founded on esteem, which alone can weather the gales of married life without making shipwrecks of all our dearest hopes.

How -Jhry Marry iit. Iwtin. At Trichnr, in the East Indies, a town inhabited chiefly by Nairs, the land-holding class of the coast, divorce seems to be as simple as marriage is easy. The Nair lady is a very independent person. Some one offers a cloth ; that is the proposal. If she accepts it, that is the marriage. If she gets tired of her husband she gets rid of him and takes up with another and is not held to have behaved disgracefully in so doing. To give a cloth as a

present is a very common thing in India. By cloth is meant the garment worn by women in the East, and it may be very plain and cheap or very rich and costly. But here, whatever kind of cloth it be, to give one is very signiii cant,- as a listinguishel visitor to Trichnr found when he offered oue to a Nair ladv in whose house he hod re

ceived some civility. Whatever opinion may be held from a moral point of view of these marriage relations, they result in manly males aud for the most

part comely and very often beautiful females. Pall Mall Gazette,

Just how far a parent's influence

should extend over the matrimonial alliances of their children is a matter

of opinion, writes a Texas lady to the Galveston Neivs, but when we see some of the matches which our lax customs on this subject permit, we

might well be excused if Ave favored quite an extension of parental authority. That a young person of either sex is qualified at 16 years of a-e to decide so momentous a question would be unanimously denied if it were not so customary to allow girls at that age to contract obligations which involve their whole future. The idea that they

fin Should Certainly Not. The enduring interest which attaches

to the problem here propounded demands that it should be discussed with all seriousness. A young woman, who ; sends her name and address, but who, j upon this occasion, wishes to be known I as "Stella," asks this question: j Is it proper for a young lady to sit I on the lap of a young man to whom she j is engaged? Of course we will assume that no j one else is present Pnblio exhibitions '

of admiration on the part of young persons, whose hearts are known to have been interchanged, should be restricted within very narrow limits. The eyes may meet, the hands may touch, but the lips never. Opinions are divided on the question whether, within the hearing of but partially sympathetic ears, they should ever frame audibly the Christian name of the other party to the interesting combination; but that is not the theme of the moment, and there is no need of discussing it now. We are fully aware also that one school of romantic thinkers will maintain that what is not good taste before the eyes of the world should be forbidden under all circumstances. But we say simply that such is not our opinion. If this budding state of matrimony were to be oppressed by the same law of decorum which cold etiquette prescribes for the colorless relations of commonplace friendship, we fear that the moture conjugal blossom would appear with comparative rarity. Were no more serious proofs of reconciliation and forgiveuess permitted to engaged lovers than are employed by mere friends, the first clash of discordant ideas would often cause the tender flower of love to droop beyond the power of ordinary protestations of devotion to revivify. Our remarks are therefore directed towards those who agree with us upon this subject, and we address them with confidence that theirs is the popular view. Turning, then, to the main question, we sai- frankly to "Stella," and to all

i the fair constituents of the endless and

happy procession which will follow her example in days to come, that as a rule the practice she refers to should be strenuously frowned upon as inadmissible. Treat the impulsive and forgetful suppliant with mercy and forgiveness; but rather than wander so far from the principles of a reserved and faultless spinsterbood, we should advise our correspondent, and all others like her, even to reject the enticing prospect of altering her state, and to ccntinue, like the imperial votaress of the unbending Diana, In maiden m dttitioii, funny free.

THROUGH THB FOREST. The Old and Young- Danced All Kig-ht On Hardy Auveslon. Old man live in the past Purliaps it would bo bettor for the young men of tho present, if they lived a little bit more ia the past, and drew less on the future. The log oabina of primitive times would seem very cheerless habitations to the people wh.i live iu the ilnely-coiistriioted, fornaceneaW aiaosions of to-day. But oar gr&udparouts took a groat dual of comfort In these liuiohomva. Tlioy w.ra rugged and healthy. The men had stalwart snt hardy frames, sad the women were free from the modern ailments that make the sex of to-day practictioall.y helpless slaves to hired foreign help. White -haired grand-sires frequently took their life partners and on horseback rode a score of miles through tho forests to enjoy the lively pleasures of a frontier ball, danced till duyhL'b",, rode home again in the early morning, then put in a good day's work. Middle aged folks of to-day couldn't stand that sort of a racket To thsse mud chinked log cabins doctors' visits were a rarity. Tho inhabitants lived to a ragged and green old age. Sometimes those log cabin old-timers were taken ill. They were not proof against all the exposures to which they wore subjected. They

round ti e cffootiTe remedies for these common ailmenti in the roots and herbs which grew iu tho neighboring forests and fields. They had learned that nature has a cure for every ill , ThvBo potent remedies assisted their sturdy frames to quickly throw oft disease and loft no poison in the system. I The unpleasant feature of modern practice with mineral medicines is the injurious after effect on thesystem. May not modern physical degeneracy be due to this feature? A dru;;-8turatod system is not in a natural, consequently not in a healthy, state. If any of tho n sin organs are clogged with traces of the mineral poisons used to drive out a particular disease, the whole machinery of life is derange ! and early decay of natural powers is tbe inevitable result. There can be no question that remedies from the laboratory of nature are the best If they are as efficacious, they have the advantage of leaving no after fling. Their efficacy, if properly compounded, and the proper remedy applied to the proper disease, will not be doubled. The experience of ages proves it Their disuse has oome about principally through, tho rapid congregation of people In cities and villages, rendering these natural remedies difficult to obtain. Progressive business en' erpriae has lately led to putting those old-turn) remodies within reach of all classes. The proprietors of Warner's safe remedies, in the faith that the people of to-day would be benefited by using the simple remedies of logcabin days, have caused investigations to be made and' secured the formulas of a number ot those whicblongandsaccessfulusehad proved to be most valuable. They will, we learn, be known under the General title of "Warner's Log Cabin Bemeies." A.mony those medicines will be a "SarsaparilU," for the blood and liver, "Log Cabin Hops aad Buchu Remedy," for the stomach, tis., ";Ug Cabin Ooiigh and Consumption Bemedy " a remedy called "Scalplne," for the hair, "Log Cabin Extract," for internal and external use, and an old valuable discovery for catarrh, called "Log Cabin Eoae Cream." Among tho list is also a "Log Cabin Plaster and a "Ibog Cabin Pill.' Marriage In France, In countries where land gives "verge enough" to the individual, or to the groups of individuals constituting a family, it is impossitde to judge of the cramping effect of want of space. It nets morally as well as materially, and the moral, as much as the physical lungs, are soon stifled for want of air. The creature is shut up and numbed and will tell you it is condemned to its narrowness of soul for lack of "means." And, in some degree, so it is ; for the forced subdivinon of property, besides impoverishing tho soil, cripples a naturally cautious, timid, uaadventurous race, and it "squares" its existence on the fatal principle of "what is taken

away by the sons comes back by the daughter" tho husband is bought by his wife, and no one takes heed to the moral inferiority entailed, or of the

uuescapable weakening of the publio health. However, we mast take them as they are, these sons of Gaul. And their motl-ers! They have yet some capacities for a better and higher life ; but greed, coupled with vanity, has made sad havoc among them, and, such as they now are, they require to be rich before they can afford to be or to dream of independent action. I have, with my own ears, heard high-born women, Christian women, than whom none more illustrious in blood or more active in devotional practices, women of tho highest unquestionable culture

and native intellect I have heard such as those say to their children, school boys of 12 or 14: "You know, my ohild, with your high name and small fortune, there must be no trifling. Yoar name must be well placed ; there is no room for sentimentality!" and of the way in which such names are "placed" perhaps American fathers and mothers know as much as most people

(more even than most "Britishers, )

and their daughters are not slow to discover how all "sentimentality' is set aside Par U letter.
