INDIANAPOLTS,

., f, . From Graham1 Magazine for February. !::. HONEY-MOONS BIT MR9.-L. '8. GOODWIN. ' ; " Wkll; sir, I urn glad it has come out what you married me for. It is charming to the bride of a month to find hersdf despised by her husband, because she did not bring , him a mine of gold truly, it is I". ,., '!,. ' " It is not for want of the mine of gdd,' Mrs. Maybury, but I protest against being so deceived. ' I hate deception you know it." I!' 1 "Who deceived you, pray? Not I, for the idea that you were merely seeking a fortune never entered my mind, nor would I have believed it, had any one told me so. If you chose to imagine, that because ray sister was an heiress, 1 was one also ; and because she endowed a poor man with riches, J should do the same by you you deceived 3'ourself. An aunt of ours adopt ed Adelia when we were left orphans, and dyiDg two years ago, bequeathed her hfty thousand dol lars. It was my lot to become the ward of one in humbler circumstances, who used such resources as there were to give me a complete edu cation, which was the only .fortune I ever . had to anticipate.: I thought till now that that was something but, of course, it is nothing Arthur Maybury, the high-minded, make this decision." ' " lou are like all the rest of your ser, from the beginning I have no more to say." " . Nevertheless, Arthur did 'say ' more, and his speech waxed none the less bitter and accusatory, whilfi his wife, Alice, retorted in turn in the same spirit she had already displayed. Strange words, and more strange tones, to be exchanged between the young bridegroom and bride. The scene had opened with Arthur's coming into the little parlor and sitting down in the twilight, and Alice beside him, saying' rejoicingly, " at last, we are to have an evening by ourselves, I hope," to which the other responded, " at last, I hope ;" it ended With his seizing his hat with a world of will, and shutting the street-door emphatically behind him. , ,' ,.,' ,' ,, Mrs. Maybury was alone, leaning an arm on the marble table beneath the yet unlighted chan delier. The flush faded on her cheek faster than it had from the autumn sunset sky ; the light of her soul passed rapidly into midnight. Her frame quivered and 6hook with the tempest of emotion within, whose forked lightnings pierced her brain. Thus she sat long, yet no rain of tears relieved the aching of the surcharged eyes, and moisten ed the lashes with the rigidly clasped fingers belore them. -i. ' ' ; -v. Two wretched days went by, and Arthur May bury and his wife had not looked in one another's face, nor spoken together save in the briefest and coldest manner. To spirits liketheirs, a quarrel was all that the word implies both regretted it bitterly, yet so far both were too proud to begin concessions. Alice thought and knew herself in jured ; and dwelling on this side, mostly over looked the sarcastic and ollensive language she had uttered a thing her husband did not. Arthur felt abused and peculiarly vexed at having exposed to himself and her that money could influence him in the choice of a wife. It would never have happened, had Alice proved rich, as he and others expected. Once, about the time of his marriage, when a, friend spoke rallyingly to him of his having drawn a golden prize, Arthur replied that Alice Clyde, without a penny, would be the same to him as Alice Clyde with a million ; and he would have been much hurt had the other seemed to discredit the assertion. Till pressed hard by circum-1 stances; he had continued in the happy delusion. Arthur's finances were in a state seldom known to soothe a man's mind or improve his temper. ; He had finished the study of medicine only a very short time, and his patients were yet to falf sick, when he first met Miss Clyde.; Within three months he proposed, was accepted, and the marriage took place.;; The 6on of a poor man, Ar thur had ot necessity contracted debts in his course, which he trusted to success in his profession for discharging.'" ' ' He was presented to Miss Clyde at the house of her sister, who was recently married, and came to reside in his native city of Portland. His eyes beheld her a marvel of beauty and accomplishments. Her many, engaging qualities were the admiration of the acquaintances she made. "And then," some one would not unfrequently be heard to remark, " there is the cool htty thousand ; for, somehow the unquestioned supposition was that Adelia inherited her money from her father, and that the sisters had shared equally in his estate. " . , ' .! After a brilliant wedding, Arthur and his bride set off on a tour, which was condensed into three weeks, at the end of ; which time they returned, having dreamed in the bridal-chamber of the St. Nicholas, sailed'up the American Rhine, felt the spray of the Niagara, and dined in the Summit House on Mount Washington. i . " ( By orders which Arthur had left, their house was ready for occupation on their arrival. It was a house of elegance, suited to their taste, if not to their means. Then immediately followed a great party and now, as ever, the cost of all these indulgences had to be met. It is but just to Arthur to say that his lavish expenditure was all for the sake of his bride, and as being appropriate to her imaginary position ; and all were enjoyed by Alice with the inconsiderateness to be expected of her years and situation. :'. For a time it had appeared a beautiful delicacy on the part of Mrs. Maybury, considering the contrast of her husband's poverty, that she re frained from any reference to her fortune ; but after that his sentiments on the subject varied, and he became secretly anxious to know where an amount of the readiest money was accessible Those ghosts of dead pleasures, Debts, were nar nowing their circle around him. The Pope him self might exhaust his power of exorcism, but this kind could not be laid without a chinking sound in bank vaults, and a substance, which looked like the consolidation of sunshine, having passage from hand to hand. Mere intimations touching the state of affairs sufficed not at all, for the reason that they were not understood ; so, shortly, Arthur was fain to' apply to his wife in distinct terms for permission to use the resources which were theirs jointly now, he supposed. The surprise and chagrin awaitiug

INI). SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1858.

both, when it came to this, need no description beyond what is included in the mutual recriminations with which the interview closed. . The two days that followed, Arthur kept liimself from home as much as possible on visits to real and imaginary patients, while Alice shut herself in, and through the porter, shut every one else out. The house, and every thing it contained,1 was the bitterest mockery to the sight of the young and so lately happy master and mistress. Time enough there had been for passion to subside, and reason to exercise her vocation : Mr. and Mrs. Maybury sat at their table once more, and alone. Alice had come from her chamber partly at the suggestion of pride, afraid that an indisposition, which demanded less than usual attention from her husband, might not serve her as a plea more permanently, and prevent scandal among the servants, i ' ."; !" ' -' j But, beyond this, the unforgiving spirit had passed from her bosom, and a tender longing for reconciliation taken its place. Ilur husband traced it in the tremulous hand that gave him his cup of tea, and in the meeker expression of her downcast eyes, when he ventured to look in them. "'.He traced it with pity and remorse, for the fondness in his heart was waking from its terrible trance, and that moment the cry of his soul was for the impossible boon of living over, again the last two days. , , ' ' , '. In some natural way, the fact was at length rumored abroad how his wifo was portionless ; and one had that evening, without much stress of delicacy, appealed to him for either confirmation or denial. ' He had replied with haughty evasion, and springing to his carriage, driven homeward.' Portionless I and if so, is she the worse for it ?" was the question that had risen to his lips before his inquisitor, but he turned it upon himself, and the consequence was that riches and virtue appeared in their true relative value., , , . Arthur attempted some conversation on incidents of the day, and Alice seconded his efforts as well as she was able. Soon as the tea things were removed, and the room more secure against intruders, they put off restraint with unanimity, and amid weeping and retractions, sought to revive the withered wreath of wedded affection. But, alas ! for human pride and passion ! alas, alas 1 for them ! Arthur Maybury and his wife destined themselves to suffer the unmitigated penalty of departing from the vows so recently spoken at the altar. Demons might have gloated in triumph over that scene, begun with promise, but relapsing into only elements of discord. The estrangement between the pair was wider than on the evening when their honey-moon had so suddenly set in gloom ; and thereafter it seemed as though, seek as they would, no time of repentance could be found by them. , ,i, . Weeks lingered away, and the sweets of love in that dwelling had turned to wormwood and gall. Alice had gone with her griefs to her sister, and Adelia and her husband had, in their indignation against Arthur, mistaken their advice to his wife. It was wind for oil to the troubled waters, caustic for balm to the open wound. A nd their prescriptions were but too faithfully followed. ; Arthur likewise had bad advisers, who checked his better impulses and wise and generous souls ! furnished him a separate magnifying glass through which to criticise every one of Alice's faults. . " The establishment it was not possible to maintain, nor was there longer occasion its unhappy mistress having at length taken formal leave and returned to a home at her sister's. So the do mestics were discharged the upholsterer reclaimed Lis effects, for want of a prospect of any thing better ; and bills, headed " Real Estate at Auction," were posted on either side of the front door, which had opened so hopefully to the train of guests at the bridal-party. 1 One day, a bill for divorce, Arthur Maybury vs. Alice Maybury, was filed according to law ; the case came duly before the court at its session and the uncontested petition was granted. What God had joined together, man had lightly put asunder. Had death so soon parted the young and gifted couple, how loud a lamentation would it have created ; the judge did it, and so ciety saved its sympathy, regarding it as all very comfortable the most agreeable thing under the circumstances. Alice Clyde for her brother-in-law, with a kind of congratulating smile, addressed her by that name the very moment he could hurry home after the decision Alice passed-one night of misery so intense, that next morning she almost expected to see in her mirror her hair turned gray. It seemed as though her very sight might have washed away, in the torrent ot tears she had shed over her disappointment, her desolation. Then carefully locking her sensibilities from oth er eyes, be may have appeared happier for release from the ties which had so briefly bound her. ,"" Herself and Arthur could not always avoid meeting as months went by. ' One evening, at an entertainment which she attended along with her 6ister and husband, Alice found herself suddenly thrilled by the tones of a voice she once had not dreamed could ever be less than musio to her ears. She had not known of Mr. Maybury's pres ence sooner ; but determined on preserving not merely an external composure, but an impenetra ble indifference also, she continued where she was.: admiring a flowering moss-rose from the conservatory, which had brought her to the spot, "Arthur was attempting to sustain himself in a bantering conversation respecting the style of wearing the beard. . His challenger was a school day acquaintance, albeit never esteemed a prize in ' that way, who, having been abroad for some years, only re-entering port that day, was not familiar with Arthur s history during the interval Pon , honor now, my dear fellow," said the traveler, affecting a Parisian swell,-" this dis guising yourself from an old friend with a mask ot hair, is what l call ah objectionable, very quite ungenerous. Besides, I do assure you( that you are out of the mode. . "Arthur was looking away, not appearing to . share any deep feeling on the subject, and the other went on : : .. t " The imperial" caressing- his own with h ring finger- " is decidedly all the go in all theah principal I may say fashionable European cities. The" Marchioness d Avona tascmatm

creature ! declared in my presence speaking of

notuer individual, you know that a gentleman was unfinished without an imperial. Son finil those were her words. - Why, faith ! to wear the entire beard is awfully hideous. I can invent no excuse for you, my dear Maybury, except it be that in your profession you are afraid to trust yourself among the fair ones, without this muz zle ha, ha.,, ha, ha " . : ' "Do you know,". said Arthur, answering him according to his folly, the way in which all the various styles of mutilated beard came into vogue ?" " 'Port my honor; "nd how ?"' " " Another Beau' Brummel, of a date when the eard was universally worn as nature designed t, conceived the project of astounding the nation by appearing shaven. He repaired to a barber's accordingly ; but the latter, knowing his man, be fore his task was fully completed laid down the razor and demanded his fee. The fashionable had not a sous in his pocket, having parted with the last for a slierry cobbler as he came to the shop. He promised, but promises were not cur rent there ; he rayed, he implored, but the operator was inexorable. No pay. no more work. Mad with the humiliation it involved, the acknowledgd leader of the ton went forth never so barefaced, save a patch on his lower lip. What then 1 Why the whole retinue of apes aped him, and he soon found that short tunds had helped him to make the hit of a life-time. Now, to me, half shaving is always more suggestive of stringency in small coin, than of making one's, self agreeable to the gentler sex; and I. confess that my. finances must be improved before I shall think ot changing my present hideous custom." ' . , " Ah, truly," the exquisite rejoined, "1 per ceive how it is.' You do not believe in the ah predilection which the fair ladies have for the imperial. Come now, let us refer the case. Here is Miss Clyde a ravishing creature 1" he whis pered in Arthur s ear, " pertectly ravishing 1 obtained an introduction the first moment," (he might have added that she openly rid herself of him the moment after,) " she shall be our ah umpire. . xou have heard our discussion, Miss Clyde, pray put me under the cxceediug obliga tion of hearing your opinion respecting imperials.' As he spoke with his arm through that ot Ar thur, he wheeled the latter by a movement which brought him face to face with Alice, so near that their breaths mingled, i1 ,; 1 ! ' 1 think, sir, the imperial may bo peculiarly suited to your style of beauty," the lady replied, with a smile and air so markedly bland, that even the conceited questioner saw beneath them irony and contempt, and changed his theme and place abruptly. , . , . ,. , The next moment Alice's sister drew her trom the room for air,, with a face white as a snowwreath. It was a momentary faintnessl she said, from standing there so long in the perfume of the flowers. It was quite over now ; and she hastened back, as though fearful that some other one should note the vacillation. , . . - ' Re-entering the festal scene, her eye involun tarily sought around till it fell upon Arthur. He was in another part of the room, addressing with the grace for which he was eminent, a beautiful young lady, the belle of the evening. Alice observed that the young lady blushed, and her lu minous eyes softened beneath the look that was upon them ; and a pang of jealousy, a sensation of injury swept her bosom. ' It was difficult in that moment to feel herself only a divorced wife. But she roused her self-command, rallied her spir ts, and was gayer and more brilliant for the rest of the evening. .--.!:. . ' ' .i There was a lonely, wooded dell: close by the river-side, a quarter of a mile from the family country-seat, whose carpet of moss, when summer time came, yielded often to a mournful tread, its wild-flowers were wet with nightly dews, but more by daily tears. Oh 1 Alice Clyde was in secret very wretched.'. Bo the season wax and waned, and the house hold prepared to return to town; Alice dreading the removal for the change in her habits which it must demand, despising society now more than she had ever esteemed it, paid a farewell visit to the spot where she had hidden her anguish as one might hide a thing coveted.- ..'.. It was a sombre atternoon ; htlul winds rent handfuls of faded leaves from the boughs ; flocks of birds sent forth a wailing chirp hovering over flower-stalks dead and rustling ; the river frowned back to the frowning clouds, coursing on be tween its sere banks. Alice took her familiar seat at the foot of a giant tree, which seemed deep rooted like her sorrow, and there tor hours en joyed the sympathy which nature offered. At last she heard did she not hear a sound Y She had sometimes thought she heard the same when here on other days ; but listening to the stillness, had . concluded it mere , fancy-or, if more, still but the bounding of a squirrel or a hare among the leaves; This time, however, the sounds were repeated, and there was a sudden agitation of the encircling shrubs densely festooned with wild grape whose burdering clusters had fallen to the ground unplucked. Adelia, anxious lest she was exposing her health, had sought her OUt. i Thus thought Alice, but with a tremer of her unstrung nerves and a gasping of the breath that was more and more drawn in paintul sighs., i bhe had risen, with a hasty putting back of ber disheveled hair, and taking up the mantle which had fallen from her shoulders unheeded. The vines and branches were cloft asunder by a strong hand, and to her teet advanced Arthur Mayburv Alice sank into her seat faint and bewildered without the power of articulating a syllable Speechless as herself, Arthur knelt before her. took both ber hands in his own, bowed his fore head to her knee and rested it there. She bent her head upon bis ; and thus their humbled spir its communed together, baptizing themselves with contrition before heaven, and rising to newness of purpose and a higher appreciation of the mortal mission. Stars lighted their pathway out of the grove, and seemed an alphabet of love which they had never learned rightly till now. A few days later the broken band of Hymen was reunited with deeper significance, with better hopes, and holie aspirations on the part of those whose experience apart had been so rife with unhappmes.

NO. 13.

It was on the anniversary of their divorce, that Arthur and Alice chose their seats on the deck of the Golden Petrel, about to weigh anchor for the shining shores of California their chosen future home. - " One year," said the wife, softly, " since our hopes perished so violently. , Our hearts' term of mourning is over, for those hopes have burst their cerements and come forth as by a miracle." -i "Again and again," returned the husband, "did I follow you, Alice, to your wildwood retreat, watching, oh bow earnestly, to read your heart in secret as I had never been able to do in public, and see if it shared any thing of the regret which was consuming my life. Words cannot describe the joy of that moment when at last I dared to woo you to be my bride a second time." ..There was a murmured interchange of endearing words and an interval of silence. i , " Do you remember," said Arthur again, " the evening in the gay company when we so buddenly met eye to eye ? What an impulse 1 felt to revenge myself on the miserable fop who referred to you with such bold admiration 1" Alice smiled as she recalled her own emotions on the occasion, and compared them with those just now confessed. Then forgetting the things which were behind, they talked hopefully of what was before. And when evening came, and the panorama was waters with only a belt of land fast declining beyond it, while the new moon cast oblique shadows over the deck and behind the flight of the Golden Petrel, their rich voices mingled in a song whose burden was of affection which is all unmeasured by ocean, and which, though 6uns set and moons wane, ever , increases more and more. Then amid the encores of their fellow passengers, theif hearts responded Eureka we have found it I " ' ' ' Where west winds bear the Pacific spray like rainbow clouds, is S little Eden home, with the tree of Love, zealously guarded, growing in the midst. Two cherub children of twin-birth, toddle forth hand in hand to sheave bright flowers that cover the landscape as a robe of costly splendor the person of some eastern monarch. The gold -which Arthur Maybury has found he can well live without, is weighing down bis purse. I cannot ask the reader " Do you find this a pleasant fiction ? for it is no fiction. It is a sketch from real life, which some who peruse will surely recognize and say "Here are old friends,1 only with new names." !' INDIANA FREE BANKS.
