FOO’I‘S'I‘EI’S ON THE OTIIER SIDE.

Weary and worn, at close of day,

Fainting and dying by the way,

A wounded Pilgrim sleeping lay.

While Silence, stealing to his side,

And winding her wit arms around,

sighed in her dreams and pressed his wound. And so, be, walking, caught a sound—

A footstep on the other side.

llow malty weary pilgrims lie,

And watching wait, and waiting liin For steps that never wander nigh,

Ilut pass upon 'tho other side;

For steps that trampled heart and brain, .\iid made their lives a lingering pain, And passed and never came again— Lost footsteps on the other side.

How many walk with bleeding feet,

Seeking the loved and lost to meet,

While the ilcar visions llit and fleet,

And vanish on the other side!

While life's fresh love and youth‘s sweet trust, Those Eden-blooms in earthly dust,

Lie bruised and broken, stained and crushed, ’Nenth footsteps on the other side.

And so we watch, and watching sigh While youth, and faith, and hope go by; While life, and love, and gladneu die Wltli footsteps on the other side.

And so we wait with car mid eyo,

For one dear echo lloatiug by—

A grief, a woe, a wandering sigh,

A footstep on the other side.

0 heavy hearts, that ache and break

0 heavy eyes, that dronp and sleep! Why must ye cvor wake and weep

At footsteps on the other side?

Why must ye ever lie forlorn.

And ache, and wake, and weep so long, Because one footstep has gone wrong, And passed upon the other side?

( Conclusion. )

There was a half pitying and half scorn- ful ex )ression iii Margaret‘s eyes as she looltoi up [rem reading this heartless letter to the inoi’tllled. rejected lover. Searcer a year had elapsed since she had suffered, and more deeply than ever Carl could, for hers had been the one true love of her life, while his had been the wildly ambitious dreaiiiofono short tweli'omonth. Yet she said kiiidl ' :—

“ I am sorry for you, Carl; but she is unworthy of you. Audit is better to learn this lesson In time.“

" In time !" Did Margaret intend any reproach in her words? No. She was not thinking of the very cavalier reference to that olden relation between Carl and lichelf in Miss Iii-aneoinb‘s cruel note: her only dcsii'c was to soltcn this blow to him.

“ Margaret, I know I have no right to your syiiipathy——you, of all women in the world whom I have wronged so!“ broke. out the young man, a tide of crimson surging over his face.

“ Carl, I am your sister always; and as such you have the right; yoti would deny. And I thank you for the confidence which brings you to me in your trouble. You will read Miss Iii-niiscumb‘s latter more calmly iii a few days."

“ Was Margaret speaking from liorown experience? Did people get over such or ierieiium so easily 3’" Carl could not be p asking: himself. as, a. few hours later, he. sat nioodily in the law-oiliec, brooding.r over the memory of the false girl who had so hcartlessly jiltcd him. (‘ci'tainly her words and iiianuer would have led to such a conclusion; but well is it that hearts are. not always written out on laces, and calm uttoi'aiiccs may olteii veil a tide of turbu- lent feeling beneath.

Following that blow which fell sharplv on (‘arl lli'i‘iit‘s high-spirited, ambitious nature, passed another )1 tr, which glided by ealnil, id unevciitl'ully at Non-burg. At its expiration he, was surprised to find that he was not so miserable as he. had thought to be; that life hold much that was consoling for him yet; and all this he owed to the unselfish sister who had, by her kiml ell'orls, won him back to his olden selfagtiin. Ilc even begun to hope that, in time, he might win back all that he had lost in the noble love which, he now felt, had been a prize he never valued :iriglit.

And Margaret? Ah. the heart ol woman is ever forgiving and trusting; and sweet dreams again began to iicstlo in her breast. And so at length 'I spoke of his latest, best love; and Mai ct forgave the past; and the old judge, delighted at the enu- summation of the plans of his heart. gave his sanction to their renewedengagement.

A happy autumn and winter went and March came, with its ivth equiiim gale. There had been many wrecks of late (ill the Nowbnrg coast; and one morning the old town was startled by the report of minute guns from a ship in dis- tress, and tho pitiful story ran from lip to lip of the vessel that lay below on the jagged reef. Half the inhabitants were immediately down on the beach where the wild storm was driving In the surf with a noise like thunder; and the hardy fisher- men were lowering their boats into the breakers.

Two hours wont by, during which time every boat. which had endeavored to gain the reef had been buried back, with its hall-drowned Inmates, u )on the cold hard beach; and then came I ie tearful crv that the vessel was breaking up. Now the fishermen stood ready to rescue nnv whom the rolliii surl might lling sliorowiird, and again the r boats were launched.

Wlth the crowd who had come down to the beach stood Mar aret Ili‘eiit, with her aniplo waterproof e oak protecting her from the dr ving rain; while (an, all energy and darin . was foremost among

the sailors and ishemien who were eu-

deavoring to rescue the passengers of the doomed vessel.

And now the horrors of the shipwreck culminated. Body alter body came in on the tremendous Hlll‘i. sometimes borne to tho grasp of the boatnicn, blit oltciier snatched back by the. swift uiidcrtow to the inaiv ofthe hungry sea.

Every lionso near the share was owned for the reception of the. rescued; am (‘arl was busy in directing the removal of some to his adopted latherbi, when suddenly turninrr to look upon a pair who, clasped in eat-Pb other's arms, were cast up at hi fcet, he grew pale as death, ejaculating:—

“ My God I Paul will Alan's. ’

In a minute more Margaiet was beside him; and as she looked upon the pale, wet. laces at these two, a cold shiver ran through her heart. \Vcre. they dead:2 llad her rejection of Paul Iiranseomb driven him to a foreign land—and had the, cruel sea east him lilelcss at her fleet, to reproach her ovcriiiore? And C. i, too, was feai'lully agitated; blit this was no time to think of might but tho restoration of the. lialf—drowiied pair, who were ini- incdiatcly carried to the. house.

Weeks followed after the wreck of that proud government sailing vessol from toroiin shores all the Ncwburg coast. Many lifeless bodies had been washed up long after the fierce eqiiinoclial storm hail speiitits buy. and suclilouiid decent burial, or were reclaimed by their friends; while all those \\ he survived the peril of the wreck had returned to their homes save l’aul lb'aiiscninb and his sisterMario, who still lingered iii the mansion of Judge llrciit; for Marie had, for some time lain from the chill and exposure ol'the o inn. But now she was fast convalesciiig; her old spirits were rcturtiiiig with her bloom: yet still she liiigcred. Why did she not depart Iroiii the presence of that man near whom she, of all, ought not to linger?

Who that has ever witnessed the tactics of a thoroughly heartless flirt—a woman, vain. ambitious, capricious, and tickle—- need wonder at her conduct? Mario Ib‘unscomb had been flattered by the ad— iiii 'alioii of the handsome, aspiring young collegian ; she had even fancied herself in love with him; but she had not scrupled to cost him oll‘ for the wealthy and titled suiioi she. met abroad. And now, though she had been less than woman if she had not felt emotions of gratitude to the man who, with his own hands. had drawn her lrom the cruel Surf, and though she found it very pleasant to linger in his home. rc- cciviug his atlciitions, she did not hes am to try her coquettisli arts upon him ni . Not that this vain, cruel beauty repented her past conduct. or intended to acct-pt Carl Ib'ent. Oh no; for she expected her titled qflianece from England in the follow- ing autumn, and to return with Iiiiii a bride; but admiration was so much a passion with the, heartless girl that poor passer la tempts Carl was to be trillcd with anew.

And how could Margaret—almost mad- dencd by licrjealous {c.irs, and mistaking the polite attentions ol the host for a warmer feeling renewed for their artful and beautiful guest— son calmly and dispassiountcly? She did not: she asked herself, bitterly, “ Am I to live over again what they once made me suffer?" Aiiil so she came to a sudden decision, born of her 'calmis. exacting love; and without waiting, this time, to assuro hcrsell that (.‘ai‘l might not be falling readin into the toils of tho beaiilifiil teiiiptrcss, she ex- claimed: “I hold the power in my own hands now, and I will turn back upon him what he once meted out to me! This is my decision.”

Ilut Carl? Did he bend again at the shrine of the beautiful t'mlllclltt? Not in his v 3’ heart; but it cannot be denied that i gave him strange pleasure to behold that I glity woman grow submissive and pliant: his approach, and to note how the lasriiiatine: polish she had acquired in the Old World circles was held out to him 1:3 a bait—and so he was not to careful of his conduct as he might have been, until he was awakened by his decided and mi- equivocal dismissal by Margaret.

" Carl, I see how it is. You wiin to he iron, and return to your old allegiance again. You are like the iiiolli that ho as around the blaze of the candle; and [will not bear this treatment l“ said the girl. " 'I‘~ Ito back your ring—and never, never speak to ineof your wavering, vascillaling :ill'ection again—for Margaret llrcnt will share an divided lie-till" she said, with Iii-unless in her tones.

“ You mistake. me, indeed you do! Listen, Margaret !“ began (‘:irl. but she would not listen: for “ ti'illcs light as air" had become, to her heart, “ confirmation sti'ougf‘ and she honestly bel'wcd that this step was rendered imperali c.

And so they parted for the . nid lime: and Margaret adhered firmly to the l'nl!’ she had marked out, and announced to her fiillicr that her engagement was at an end the. day following the departure of thcii' guests, for Paul and Marie now brought their stay at Newburg to a close.

Judge Iil‘l‘lli looked at his daughter in surprise; but upon her assuring him that it was her own wish that dictated the dc- cisioii, and that she had the lullc 1. reason to believe it suilcd ('al'l cqliull well, he could say nothing, save to intern sigh at this disappoiiittiient of his foudcst plan.

” And now.“ said Margaret, to herself. "I will walk in the path I have marked out, and no ,powcr on earth shall turn me, from it. Let (‘arl's restless, unstable nature sullieo unto himself. I have been humbled snl‘llcionily; and I will listen to no excuse he would thrust n ma me."

But if Margaret expi-eti-i (‘arl would attempt to turn her from the position he had taken. she was destined to bo disap- pointed; lor he iiiaiiilaiiied a respectful resorve during; the few weeks he remained at home, and then bade her a calmly kliiil adieu, and left Ncwbnrg for the city, where he was to attend the law school [or the last course of lectures.

And Margaret settled down into it sorl ol proud, apathetic, forced calm, which she mistook for growing indifl'crenco.

" When we meet again, he will probablv be under the spell ol some other lady, il Marie Ilranloomb should chooso to iilt him now she has brought him to her feet a second time I" sho muttered scoriifully.

Four years later, in the city where he had taken up the ja'ucticc ol his profession, Carl lirent received the following tele- gram :—

“Come to Newburg immediately.
