Po fight for such a land ?’—Marmion.

BY FELECIA DOROTHEA HEMANS.

Tur stately Homes of England,
How beautiful they stand!

Amidst their tall ancestral trees,
O’er allthe pleasant land. *

The deer acress their greensward bound,
Through shade and sunny gleam,

And the swih ylides past them with the sound
Of some rejoicing stream,

The merry Homes of England!
» . Around theiv hearths by night,

What gladsome looks of louschold love
Meet in the ruddy light!

There woman's voice flows forth in song,
Or childhood's tale is told,

Or tips move tunetully along
Some glorious eofcld, .

The blessed Homes of England !
Tow softly on their bowers

Ts laid the hole quietness :
That breaks from Sabbath hours t

Solemn, yet sweet, the church-bell's chime
Moats theongh their woods atimorn >

All other sounds, in that still tine,
Os breeze and leaf are bora,

Tie cottage Homes of Muglind !
By theusinds on her plains,

Taey ave smiling o'er te eilvery brooks,
And round the hinulet fines,

Toroush glowing orchards forth they peep,

And
As the bird beneath their caves.

Tron its nook of leaves,
less there the lowly sleep,

The free, fair Homes of Fnglind!
Long, long, in ut and hall,

May of native proof be reared
To guard cach hallowed wall!

And green forever be the groves,
And bright the flowery seid,

Where first the chili's ghid spirit loves

Kate Livingston, or the Es-

should [ desire to detain you from the fes-
tive scene where your smiles diffuse so
much radiance.”

Gathering up the folds of her mantle
around her, and bending upon hima look
of defiance and reproach, Kate Livingston
awept from the room, murmuring, ** Lis
well—'tis very well.”

The parlors of Mrs, Stevens were illum-
inated and Leng with festoons of rare
flowers; in the cuelosure of a window that
overlooked the garden, stood Kate Living-
ston. The pale moonbeams, straying
through the foliage of the lawn, fell npon
her face and reyealed the same expression
that it wore an hour before when she had
ssed her husband's. threshold. Her
ie was broken at length by a tap on
shoulder, when turning quickly, her
eyes met those of Rashicigh Grant,

* Ave youstanding for a statue of Niobe,

N FOR WIVES,

|

Wuinine the wintry blast swept in wild
vusts along, penetrating the creviecs of
miserable hovols. and striking the chill ot
leath to the beart of taany a poor cresture,
there were homes of lixury and splendor,
where the smatlest bijou would have been
Weénith to many a starving one beneath its
shade,

Neither taste or elegance could have
suggested an improvement in the decora-
tions of the apartment where Pierce Liv-
ingston and his lovely young wile were
cosily chatting away the long winters
evening on the night of which IT speak.
‘There was happiness th which
the davk cloud of domestic intelicity was
first rising on the horizon, but it was not
seen by the happy husband or loving wile.

* * * * * * *”

Tn the gay ‘saloons? Mrs. Livingston
was the bright ‘ particular star” Her
honmots were pronounced sparkling, her
toilette exquisite, her manuer pleasing in
the extreme, and what Pierce Living
ston wore and what she said, were hou
hold words in every fashionable establis
ment. Wilh the most child-like simplicit
of manner Kate had been the presidi
deity of her husband's house, Uithert
she had cente her affections in the
narrow circle of that home, and lavished
allthe love of her young heart upon its/
treasure, as she was wont to call her hns- |
band. But now she had stepped across
the wonted threshold to go forth into the
wide world, leaving its quieh shadows,

on all around, for the gay and gilded hall
where mirth and revelry reigned trium-
phant. She could not look beyond that
iliiant pagentry, and feel that all its
y was but the superticial
barrier that divided her from the lottier

aims and purposes of life; and though the

stream of splendor was fairto look on,

she knew not then on its deceitful tide she

wis gliding on to an abyss of wretched-

ness, In vain had Pierce expostulated

and rveasened with her. Tn yain had be

implored her to cease the dissipation which

like a whirlpool was drawing her into its

narrowing circle, where their peace must

be engulfed forever, As nightatter night

was spent in the same ceaseless round of

revelry, he renewed his efforts to resume |
the subject or to lecture heragain, From

that hour a dark gulf rolled between her

and her husband's heart, for Pieree had

closed it against her, and estrangement

was Written above its portal.

Ol! thou wind of midnight; upon thy

invisible wings thou beavest a fearful

burthen. ‘Che widow's wail over the cold

clay form of her protector—the deep sigh

that bursts from the Losom of remorse—

the orphan's cry—the maniae’s wildering

seream—the last breath that heaves the

bosom of expiring humanity as the Jamp |
of life is darkening beneath the shadowy |
pinions of death. On such a night we be-

hold Kate dressed fora brilliant masque-

rade. The costume she had selected was

one well designed to display her queenly

form end heighten charms so radiant as |
hers. ‘Che wealth of her night-black hair

tolded in a massive ceil around her small

head, was fastened aM a glittering serpent |
in whose ruby eyes the concentzated lignt |
tlashed like a fitlul fame. 4 e stood}
waiting, she contrasted the past with the |
hollow mockery of the present, when her |
eatriage was annotinced. Sho hastily

flung her cloak around her, pausing but a
moment as she passed the library, as

though intently listening, while an old

tenderness passed across her face; she
uttered a deep sigh that sent a shudder to

her heart, but she went on thinking if he |
but said one word, how gladly + oald she |
go to him, with open heart, fling herselfat |
his feet and in the forgiveness of the past |
build the joyous hopes of a new and|
brighter future,

He turned to her witha look of seorn,

Summerside, Dec 12,1867—3in

and said, 1 would like to be alone, nor

where her smile had dispensed sunbeanss |,

vompinion that made his bold eyes seek
the ground, unable to meet the proud
light of virtue that gleamed in hers

“You are very kind, Rashleigh Grant,
in thus counselling me tog ny hus
bands name to dishonor—to blast, with
the lightning breath of a mother’s shame,
lovely child. [tis generous—it is noble
in you, and deserves (rom me ian answer,
Know, sir, that though Tmuay be cast trom
that husband's heart, itis still to me dike
some sacred shrince d the thought that L
have one been its worshipped idel, shall
keep the temple tnprofined, and the light
of Jove that once shone on me trom its pure
depths will beam inanine until my pulse
es to throb. Infamy and his noble
soul will be strangers, while it remains
with me to keep it untarnished., Fare-
well, sir!”

“Twill win you yet!” ho hissed after
her. as she turned and Jett him.

The next morning, Mrs. Livingston as
the early sunlight was stealing in through
the half closed: blinds, Jay on a lounge
with her heavy black haiv thrown from off
her face, the traces of tears were moist
upon her cheeks, when the husband en-
tered, A shudder passed over him as he
al upon her, Ere she could realize
her situation, he demanded her to. reveal
tohin all that had transpired between
hersel€ and Rasheleigh Graut on the pre-
ceding evening.

Belore night a challenge had been sent,
and a imeeting arranged for the ensuing
morning. ‘Thrice had Kate sent word to
Rashleigh to avoid the meeting, but al-
though he was uaprincipled, he was nota
coward, and he heeded not her prayers.
Pierce : rose enrly in the morn,and bade
use farewell. Iie took the
ms and tenderly caressed
her, then loosed her from him, and the
arimemories of the happier ys came
thick and first qpon him, he traced these
lines to his wits;

“Karn, My Own Dear Wife: A few
short moments and T shall depart oa a
journey from which [may never return,
for mine is an errand of lite or death!
Should I fall you will in those Tew lines
read ny full forgiveness of the past. 1
know you will mourn for me, and Jet the
first bright unclouded moments of our
wedded life alone Jinger about your heart.
and the memory of that happiness will
banish the bitter retlections of later years,
And now once inore, farewell.

DPirncn.”

Ho arrived at the place of meeting soon
after. The ground was then measured,
and the seconds took their places. Rash-
leigh Grant extended his hand to Pi ree
and said:

‘Pierce Livingston, your wife is inno-
cent, and should T fall, remember that you
have listened to a dying man who tel
you that she has rebuked his insolence as
ho deserved.” i‘

** T believe you, Rash,” he replied, ‘* but
it is too Inte to recede,”

The report of pistols echoed through the
valley, and eve it died away, Pieree Liy-
ingston fell with his lite-bleod pushing
from his heart, dyeing the green sward at
his feet, That morning his child ewaken-
ed worse than orphaned, aud bis wife to
a fearful widowhood.

Alone,—it is a litle word, but very sad,
beoause we can ponder on it until we shut
oul the space that widens, till we grow
afraid to look.

The tearful lesson saddened many years
in tho life of Kate Livingston—years iu
which by prayer and meditation, she
learned to follow her Saviour, on whose
besom she found peace. And when at
last she was wooed again Ly one who
loved her, she did not accept the offer to
beeome his wife uutil she had told hia of
the past, Ilo listened with emotion to
her contession, at the conclusion of which
he renewed his offer and Kate again be-
came a wile,

visable for the good of any of her ac-
quaintanees, whom sho thinks are in dan-
ger of making the same fearful mistake
which clouded her young life, she relates
her story, and its effects have been for
good to many who have listened to the
narrative ®

—The successful man is nof
y the man to be envied—not al-
ways the happiest man. Ituman nature
cannot have its own will long, without
becoming deteriorated by it. We aré ap-
pointed to struggle, and in struggling our
highest life is developed. The time will
come when the laws of our present con-
dition will cease, and when we shall be
able to bask in the sunshine of success
without danger to our virility, or encrva-
tion of our Virtues. ‘Vill then, it is our
wisdom to aecept our lot, and make the
best of it—to seek fer our enjoyment in
our work rather than what the work pre-
duces—-to till the soil, and dismiss all
needless anxiety abont the haryest—to be
more concerned that we should be right
than that we should succeed; in a word,
r ourselves like well-disciplined sol-
th whom strict obedience is the
red of obligations, and who ave
thereby absolyed trom responsibility as to
results. Then, se far as success is youch-
sited us it will be grateful; so far as it is
denied, it will not diseoncert us. Thus
living our life will be its own success,
