Forever: A Story of the Heart.

, *&, " promise !"' " i do solemnly." '• forever." continued the solemn, broken " Forever 1" echoed the weeping maiden b. tho bedside. . Tho wasted hands were raised over the heads of the kneeling figures ; tho pale lips of the dying woman parted—the tongue tried to ulter a blessing , but all brightness faded from the eyes. The woman was dead. , _ • - Two young girls knelt at the bedside. Constance Owen was the name of the one with sallow skin aud largo brown eyes, and Kdith Ormond, she was called, with ringlets of gold floating around her fair neck, and who .0 head was loaning upon the shoulders of Constance, who had promised tiie dyiug woman to be a sister, protector—mother, even,—to tho fair maiden at her side. The strong, faithful, homely girl called Constance was au adopted daughter of the dead lady—ouc of those waifs of the street whose only hope of life is in the charity of some tender hearted stranger, bhe, how ever, repaid her protector by a love and re gard as filial as that of her own daughter, and when ou her death-bed Airs. Ormond bade Constance Owen to make the solemn promise rccoided, the brave airl not only did not falter, but softly whispered puce nioie to the stricken girl at her side : " Yes Edith, for the sake of the love your doar mother gave to the orphan, will I love you better than myself—forever." And darkness was iv that chamber, desola tion iv the hearts of the mourners. __ Two years passed—two years -ince Edilh the beautiful aud Constance the brave had lost thc:v best earthly friend. Tho fo.mer had grown more lovely oven than the pro mise of the dawn of her radiant maidenhood; the latter more homely, larget-featured, in face, but with tho two years an added dig nity of mien, a more intelligent light in the tender brown eyes, aud force of character bettor defined in every movement. There came many suitors to Bonnybrook—so the littlo couutiy seat belonging to Edith was called—but,' so far, tho little coquette did not pay much heed to any of them. She was chi'sing the buttetllies of Fancy around that Gaideu of Eden-first youth. But at length hor beauty, gia.e and perhaps high social position, brought ouc day to" the gates of Ronnybiook one Dr. Paulding, a superior and lining young physician, who lived in the city close Ly, and when ho had found his way to that pleasant country nook, somehow he found patients in that vicinity very frequently. Was it Edith's fair fa :e that made him take that blooming highway so often ? He was, indeed, fascinated by her bright, gitbsh beauty, and one evetiiug after lie uad been wandering iv the gardens, uuder the moon, soft, pleasant words must have been spoken, for ailer ho had gouc, Edith with flushed face, dashed into the room where Constance was awaiting her, and throwing her arms around her, said iv a happy, trembling voice : " 0 darling lam so happy ! He has told me be loved me." Constance spoke not a word ; Edith was held a moment to a beating heart, a sott ki .s touched her forehead, and the next moment she was alone. "He loves me IHe loves me 1" And Editn looked over the garden", from which the dews of night were distilling all their odours ; she gazed at the rouud beautiful moou, aud peopled the shadows with the image of the man who had first stiried the young life with the divine music of love. A month after the pleasant confes ;ion had becu made, Edith was called to the moun t-ins of Vermont to attend a dyiug aunt, the only sister of her dear mother, and she had to proceed alone, as Bonnybrook would have lacked a guardian if Constance had accompanied her—Dr. Paulding's duties utterly denied him that pleasure. Constance was engrossed in home dutie. aud saw little society, save a fewiusticneigh bours, who only recommended themselves by their goodness of heart, aud ceit-iuly not by the brilliancy of their wit or understanding. Once iv a while Dr. Paulding would lide out to Bonnybrook, as Constance told him " from the force of an old habit," but soon it seemed that the mm of medicine and scieuce did not carry ou the conversation with the old ease, grace and spirit. What had come between Constance Owen and hiinselt ? Something enexplicable. The noble woman found a strauge rare pleasure iu,the society of the gifted man ;'the scholarly mau a sympathy with the brge-hearted, intellectual woman which he had never known or experienced in any of her sex. " True," he said to himself she is not beau tiful ; indeed, measured by the mles of beauty, the is politively ugly. But who can gauge the charms of a melodious voice, or deiiue the tcuderuessof au hone.., kindly eye? And she too mused iv this way : " This Dr. Charles Pau'd ug is a niarvclously gifted man. What powers of language, what tie- suies of imagination he po'ses.e I What a noble character he has before him ; and Edith "—here sho would pause and think of that clinging tendril, not as helping the giowth of the oak, but as drawing fiom its strength. Yet 'Lorn all such thoughts as these her stanch and loyal heart would Hb.olutely turn away—yet for a'l this her -pceoli would uot come as " trippingly on the tougue " a'in the old days, end he would o.tentiiue iiuisli a sentence in the middle of it, and then lo~e himself in vague glances at the ceiling or out iv tlit garden. Oh, it was a dangerous time for both of the c awakening beam. But they glided on tins treacherous stream, aud seemed only con. cious that the hours were sweet and that the snu shone ou the waves. There was no thought of disloyalty in either heart. He was above all a man of honour, tnd.sbe of all else a loyal woman. Yet how hearts delude themselves. Jn the very pride of h.a strength Samson was shoin of his locks. Cue quiet eveuiug iv July Dr. Paulding h..d taken tea at Bonny biook, andConst.uce —his " hostess " only, she called herself— strolled down to the gato with him. His impatient horse was bitin . the rough old hilchiug-po't, aud throwing up c'ouds of dust with his fore-feet. He had b"en kept there four hours, and he seemed moie eager thau his master to leave Bonnybrook behind him. The Doc.or idly plucked some helio tropes as they strolled down thc^e bordered paths, and mingled with the flowers, some dainty mignonette and a pale bud or two of the tea rose. A t last he placed the bou quet iv her hands aud said dreamily : " Read the emblems, Constanc.—you, who are the piiestess in Flora's beautiful temple." She quickly looked over them. " Ah," she said, " you choose well, Sir Botanist. Here you have ' beauty in retire ment, ' constancy'—that is good^-.' I am a Summer friend'—that is hetter than all. But you flatter with youv flowers, never theless." "Not you " he replied eagerly, almost ten derly, and iv a voice that "somehow fright ened her. She replied almost coldly—nlthoufh ] ler heart was strangely beating and. a warm un usual colour was in her face : "My best fiicuds will tell you Doctor, that I am n"ly aud commonplace. Believe them, I bcg°o£ you, and do not let your imagiuation° in vest me wiih any charms." Ho seemed all at once to be carried away by his passion. He leaucd over and rep'ied, warmly. " l say you are beautiful. Cous . tauee Owen. 1 feel your beauty in my very soul." Rut he Said uo move. The face of Const, nee was a study ; the flush that liofove had crimsoned her cheeks died out and she became ghastly pale. Her fingers, which had clasped the flowers, slowly opened and they dropped to tho grouud at her feet. All at once the vision of the dead woman seemed to present itself to her mind and the trust she was violating struck cold to her heart. Was this the *' Forever " .l le had spoken . She staggered and would liave fallen ; ihe arms of Dr. Paulding was about he.1, but she waved him away iv a momout with such a piteous, dispairing gesture tlrat he obeyed her without a woul. She oulv had strength to falter ; " Go—and remember Edith "—and she staggered back towards the house, leaving him standing there, bent and ticmblur. She did not know how she reached' her own room ; the strong woman had learned at the same moment she loved that she must sacrifice and renounce. She stood for hours white and motionless looking o\\t at, the sunset and the gathciiu<' gloom uf evening, and wiih wild though/! chasing through her brain and, a dumb aching paiu in her heart; eveiy hope trail' lug in tho dust like those flowers he had given her. She laid her head after awhile upon her hands, ou the window casement of her room, and weDt softly through the long long hours, until she heard the village bell strike the hour of midnight. She had prayed aud wrestled with her gritif and pgony, and rose up at length qui. t»ud calm. She had yielded to duty and her promise to the dead. Somehow Constance Owonseemod to grow prettier as the mouths passod by—there was some refining change which was softeuiug her rugged features and rounding every line iv her stately form. The summer into autumn had flown, and still Edith Ormond had not returned to Bonnybrook. Her aunt had died and letters came from time to time saving that ere long she would be home yet she came not. Could she suspect the disloyalty of lover? It w^s late in the fall, when the woods had put on their pomp of glory, and the chill'

ivinds sent the fallen leaves through the /alley near Bonny brook, when Dr. Pauldin« rode up to the house and asked for Con si ;ance. She had only received bim twice before since that summer evening, and had then contrived by wonicnly tact not to be alone with him—although she no 1 __<•(;• doubted her strength. Constance on this oc-.a-ion received her tiuert alt-ne, thero seemed a strange embarrussin.-il iv \_\__ manner. After the first greetings were o\cr he said. " Constance, I havo much to s:iy to you to-day. Do you think you cau list: ato mo calmly?" " Yes," she replied, "if it is upon a sub. ject on which you should speak—and she added, trembling—" to which I should listen." "Both," ho said. "When first I saw Edith Ormond 1 was captured by hor beauty and girlish graces; I thought I loved her-.'" Constance would have stopped him by __ gesture, but he gently begged hor to li.ton — " For you cau do so now," he Bald, '• ; a all honour and reason." He continued: " I never had my hcait stirred up by the full knowledge of love, however, until I knew you, aud discovered the breadth of your sympathies and the womanliness of your character. I never respected you more than when you rejected me, knowing I waa the engaged husband of Edith. ]i 0 { f a t e has been kind to us both." iii.. voice wa trembling with emoti.n, "Real the'last part of this letter." He handed a folded paper fo Constance who took it as one in a dream. ' ', " From Edith ?" she said. "Yes." Tlio portion site read ran thus : So you see, dear Mr Paulding, it is better that I should toll you now that I h .ye _ u.| one here—my cousin Ray—whom I fee! that I love better than any one in the world. I havo promised to be his wife, nnd I am sure you will forgive tno, for you ate so noble and all that, and I should feel, 1 know that never I could fill worthily the exalted Sphere of^Dr.'Paulding's wife—■ Uoustance could read no more; a mist gathering over her eye?, but this time a strong arm was about her and a voice deep and melodious whispered to her : "Dearest Constance, will you be mine at last?" Their lips met for the first time, iv one lon« ki_a of love, and her auswer was : " Yes ; thine —forever I"—" Harry H arc-wood Leach."

Extraordinary Scene in Catholic Chapel.

o , A MOST extraordinary scene occurred re, eentJy in St. Alban's Catholic Cham. W rarrington. The morning service was just over when one of the stall' sergeants of i_ e 4th Koyal Lancashire militia, named Johu Smith, walked down the ui.-le to the _ltar and, drawing his sword-bayonet, with one blow cut down the sanctuary lamp, and then struck at the altar, and sent flying in every direction canopy, statuary, missal crucifix, &c j cultiug a slice off one of the figures. The utmost excitement prevailed in the church as he siood flourishing his weapon. Men were scrambling over the backs of the pews, aud women screaming and fainting, as it was feared he would attack the congregation. a mau who tried to get inside the altar rails was cut at in a savage man ner, and Smith, apparently labouring under terrible excitement from religious mania stood on the top of the alter steps with hia swork en garde. Two other sergeants who were present drew their swords, and went towards the maniac, at whom by this time men were thi owing books, even; forms, for the purpose of disabling him, Une of his comrades, [seizing him by the sword aim, took his weapon from him and took him into the vestry, out of the way of the iniur* iated congregation, who would have killed him if they could have got hold of Mm. He said he wanted the piiest who had been preaching (Father Cody), and threatened he would do to them what the Lord had told him. On Monday morning he was brought before the magistiates, andmade an incoherent statement, and wanted the bench to read a long document consisting of a parody of "Scots wha hae," Mother Shiptou's prophesies, and statements that he had been chosen to destroy the Pope and his satellites. The prisoner has always been a good Catholic, ana his commanding officer gave him a high character for Lobriety. As it was evident he was nob sane, he was remanded for medical exainma* tion.

Kahly yesterday morning apoorJy-.re.sed and seedy-looking person about fifty sears eld en tered the post-olllce and proceeded to wsrmbia hands at one o£ the re_.is.ers. He made no inquiries about the mail, and af'er he had teen loafing around lor two hours a policeman got his eye on him and asked : "Say, old man, have you ai y business herep " Well, no," was the reply, '■ Any work to do ?" "No. I kinder thought I'd lay off this Winter." "Any friends here;' "No.'' '- ■'«.

Tho officer escorted him down to the station house, registe: ed his name, and then prec.eded to search hi-s pockets. Each one nanned out a "wad" o£ mo-ty. making a tctai o_ IC-dols. "Why didn't } on tell mo you had this m.ney?'' demanded the policeman. "Why didn't you ask me?" "Didn't I say I took ycu for a vagi ant, and you i idn't deny it either?" "Well, I didn't know anything about your city lawß,"quietlyrepl:edtheoia man. "I'vegot two married daugh>erß, and I came in to buy each o£ 'em a 60-dol piano for New Yeats, mitif it's asm any of yourlawß.l'll take thencxt train forborne. I'm getting purty old, and I don't want no Ins with anybody.' " Well, you might have saved yourself all thia trouble," said the officer, as he escort.d him to tho street. "Don't mention it," wa3 the answer. "Ifl took auy trouble on your account it's all right and you tcedn't thank me. I'm ahvay's wili ng to oblige anybody who can &_ precis to it, Purtycold day, isn't it ?"

Sho callod 1 upon a medical practitioner, who, recognizing • at onco tlio caso to bo ono of tiiphthoritis, mado t her enter my klinik, whero J had to separate • her from tho other patients. Tho patient, woll | developed for her ago, was complaining of pains 1 in her throat, which grew worto when she en -1 deavourcd lo swallow, speak, cr move tho neck. 3 The submaxillar and submental glands wero much swollen, and the fever was or a remitting nature.

On tho 27th patient got better and the fever bad subsided. On examining tho pharynx it was easily to bo noticed that Ihe pro cess of diphtheritis gavo way, and on tho llth of March tlio patient was -tutored to health and discharged. The report in question says that tho Eucalypti Extract in all cases of diphthoritics proved successful; it also sets forth cases of iuryngitis and bronchitis, chronica, pneumonia, crouposa dextra, ac te pharyngitis, oombined with laryngitis, treated suco.Esfully with the j Eucalypti Extract.
