ANGELICA'S BETROTHAL: A Christmas Story of the "Old Court."

continued. "Don't let ushave too much of this, ADgel," he said, thickly, with his breath hot with the fames of wine, almost on her ehcek. M No larking with handsome cavalry captains now ; Steenie was always rather too sweet upon you to suit my taste, and I am not going to stand any nonsense with him, I can tell you. I hope you'll tell him at once that you and I are going to be married shortly. By' Jove, it sounds jolly, doesn't it? I'm not going to wait long, I can tell you." This was rather too much for Angel's sore heart to accept withoutsome sign of resentment, and of the rage and remorse that was burning in her soul. "I am afraid you have been drinking, Mr. Hautain," ehe answered, haughtily ; and rising from her seat, she crossed the room, and was looking for Mrs. Temple to ask her to take her home at once, pleading the headache as the ostensible cause, when Lady Hautain intercepted her in mid-career, and taking her hand affectionately, said, 1 You will give us one song before you go, my dear, won't you? I make it my particular request." " Anything to oblige you, Lady Hautain," Miss Temple said, and she went dreamily to the piano, which was open invitingly, and seemed to court the touch of one of the most accomplished musicians that had ever swept its chords. Her voice, like Annie Laurie 's, was " low" and very " sweet, " and she sang an English ballad with a feeling which few could equal and none eclipse' The words which she selected upon this occasion thrilled through the hearts of her hearers; they were those bt Byrou's, beginning, " When we two parted in silence and tears Half broken-hearted, to sever for years; Pale grew thy cheek, and cold, colder thy kiss, Truly that hour foretold sorrow to this." When she had concluded there was silence in the room for some moments, and then the voice of her affianced bridegroom broke the spell, as he exclaimed enthusiastically, Bravo ! bravo! but give us something livelier now, to cheer us up a little. That was but a dismal Christmas ditty. Angel, after all." " I must wish you good night," the young lady said, addressing her hostess, and sweeping haughtily past Reginald without condescending to speak to him, and "good-Aht" she said also to Stephen Hautain, who returned the adieu with an expression in his eyes which smote to Angel's heart like a knife. " I shall see him to-morrow," she thought, as they drove home, " and he shall not look at me so again ; for once I will break my resolution ; I will never marry that cub." She comforted herself with the reflection, but it came too late; the next day her eyes anxiously sought one " curled and comely head" above the Christmas decorations of the manor pew; but they sought it in vain. Stephen Hautain had left the Old Court" early on that Christmas mornr 1 'Aioa ol twa i. -.' 3 CHAPTER ft FOUR YEARS LATER. It was Christmas Eve at the "Old Court" once more, but circumstances had sadly changed during the four years which had elapsed, since we saw the happy party assembled there, under the auspices of the hospitable old lord. Since that time his soul had been summoned away from this earth, and sorely missed at Christmas time; amongst that wide circle of friends and relations, to whom he had endeared himself by the kindness of his heart and temper, thare was one poor, widowed soul who felt that each recurrence of the holy feast was only to be kept now for her, as celebrating the arrival at another milestone towards the "house not made with handsj" whither what she most cherished in this world had gone before her to his home. Lady Hautain was what the world calls broken-hearted; but it was merely a figure of speech to express that her affections had been weaned from this world and fixed on a better one ; but there was still balm in Grilead for the wounded heart even here ; there was no bitterness in her sorrow; she had only laid up her treasure for a time ; she mourned, but she did not repine. One constant, loving companion had she in her sorrow, and with her by her side, to read with her, pray with her, and hope with her. Lady Hautain hoped ere long to pass peaceably to the fair land of promise, which she now seemed to realize, even in her day-dreams. There was one thorn, however, that she prayed, if it were God's will, to see removed from her breast before she died ; and to be permitted to stretch her feeble hands in blessing over the head of her beloved nephew, Stephen, was the one hope of her life. He was now Lord Hautain, that is, if he were still alive: but no word or tiding of him had reached the "Old Court" since the Christmas Eve of 1860, when he received at Angel's hands the stroke that had blasted his lrfe. i Reginald, his elder brother, had died from the effects of an accident in the hunting-field one year after the old lord departed this life, so that at his decease Stephen had become Lord Hautain. But these events had occurred two long years ago, and nothing had been heard of the missing heir. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, as I said before, when the widowed Lady Hautain and her now constant companion,

whom I will only designate for the present by her Christian name of "Angelica," or " Angel," sat together in the drawing-room of the Old Court," both dressed in deep mourning both musing sadly over their retrospective gaze into the past. " Angel," said the elder lady at last, perhaps I ought not to say so to you, but I begin to give up hope. We must have heard something during these two years if if he had been alive," she added, while sobs choked her further utterance. " Oh ! how I have prayed to see him once again," she went on after a pause; "then I could say indeed with truth, ' Lord, now lettest thou thy servant dopart in peace.' " " Oh, spare me, spare me, dear Lady Hautain 1 ' said the young girl at her side, down whose colorless cheek the tears refused to flow, and on whose fiallid lips the words trembled like eaves at the approach of a storm; there is a sting and a reproach to me in every word you say, and I would give all that remains of my wretched, wasted life to call Steenie back from his grave, for you say he is dead! You say If he had been alive.' O my God! my God! my heart is broken at last." Lady Hautain was shocked and alarmed ; this was a burst of hysterical grief on the part of her companion which she had never witnessed before, and the violence with which it now manifested itself very much frightened her. She took her to her heart and soothed and caressed her as she would have soothed a child ; and as the hysterical frenzy of her grief began to abate, she sobbed upon the good woman's breast. "If I had but had a mother like you, we might have both of us been spared this ; but I have never realized before that it was possible that he was lost to us forever.' " You must teach me to hope still, Angel ; it is the privilege of youth. I must go and lie down. Will you go with me, or stay here?" I will stay here unless you want me; it was in this room, and on this very day, that I sealed my own fate; it is here that I will pray Heave n that, if possible, it might not have included his in its own bitterness. He must have forgotten me now, surely, Lady Hautain?" " I cannot say, my love. Your fault has been repented of and cruelly atoned ; it is not for us to forestall the judgments of Heaven. Pray for him, dear child, for yourself, for us all, and I will pray that your prayers may be heard. Concluded in our next issue.
