Dp from the dim hlllt of the North.
Across the twilight skies,
Breasting the billowy erenlnfc wind.
A single wild crane files;
With vows of silent poverty
It goes. a pilgrim gray.
And bpats the air with weary wing
Along Its lonesome way.
At morn a troupe of Argonauts
With airy clangor flew.
And cleaved the sky with feathered keel,
Themselves both ship and crew.
The clarion leader at the prow
Cried- "Brothers, follow me
I know a land of fish and fen
Ueyond the tropic sea."
Hut thou, lone bird, monk of La Trappe,
That tolling scorns to rest.
And plume In yonder asking lake
Thy storm-disordered breast:
Mute celibate! with straining eyes
I watch thy mournful flight
Out of the dark, mysterious north
Into a starless night.
Spirit of sternest solitude.
Whence art thou? whence am I? .
From the unknown to heaven knows where
We wander forth to die.
And where arc they, my loved and lost?
Have they. too. fled away,
I.Ike thee. Into somo trackless waste
Ueyond tho light of day?
Or do they watch from some fair star
The flaming of the sun
S-e the seven moons of Saturn wheel.
The wlld-halred comets run?
But not a word does It vouchsafe
In answer to my greeting.
Ah. well! our days are full of grief.
Of parting, and of meeting;
Tor all the world Is but an Inn,
And I must play mine host.
With speed thee! and good morrow!
To each wayfaring ghost;
With ready smile for friend and foe.
And not a tear for one.
Be steadfast, O my sorrowing soui.
And learn to dwell alone.
THE HAUNTED CHAMBER.
Don't think me childish, Graham, but,
indeed I can't go into that room in the
left wing."
The speaker was a pretty girl of eight
een, and a brido of three weeks, who
thus expressed herself to her husband
on the da' after her arrival at his plan
tation home, a grand old estate on Coop
er Kiver, in South Carolina, which had
been in the Lindsay family for many
generations previous to that of its pres
ent owner.
"What is so terrible about that room,
Lucy?" asked tho 3'ouug husband, with
a fond smile.
"O, Graham, after you were gone out
yesterday, and old Martha was showing
me over the house, she stopped short
when we came to that room. Xothing
would induce her to enter it, she said,
and then she told me a frightful story
about a young lady who came here as
a bride many years ago, and was mur
dered in that very room by the quadroon
housekeeper, who was afterward hung
for it The widower committed suicide ;
and old Martha declares that the three
ghosts haunt the room. She says that
she herself has seen them, and that the
young lady is a very sweet, sad-looking
shade; but that the other two have Jheir
faces in tho backs of their heads, which
I have heard the negroes at home, also,
say indicates evil and unhappy spirits.
Of course, I don't believe all this, but I
can't help feeling a horror of the room."
"Don't go into it, then, love," said
Graham, smiling. The house is large
enough without us using that particular
apartment; and I will have it bricked
up if you say so."
"O, no, you need not do that," said
Lucy; "but is there any truth in old
Martha's story, Graham ?"
Tin afraid there is, dearest," he re
plied; "but the tragedy occurred a great
many years ago; and you need not let
the thought of it trouble you, for I as
sure you there is no quadroon, nor octo
roon, nor any other kind of oon be
hind the scenes here now to disturb
your peace."
"0, Graham, as if I coidd imagine
such a thing of you!"
"Well, I don't know. Little women
are very apt to get foolish notions into
their heads when they are left so much
to themselves :is I shall be obliged to
leave you, now that I have this new
overseer, upon whom I must keep my
eye until I have proved him trustworthy.
But by the by, that cousin of yours from
St. Louis is coming to visit you. How
soon will she be here?"
"Xext week," said Lucy, "and she'll
be a charming person to have with us.
She is the most perfectly beautiful wo
man 1 ever saw, and full of life and
spirits."
"Is she much older than you ?" asked
Graham.
"About ten years. Let me see, to-day
is "Wednesday. WeVill have her with
us next Monday evening."
Accordingly the following Monday
Mr. and Mrs. Graham Lindsay drove in
their handsome family carriage to
Monk's Corner, the nearest railway sta
tion, to meet the expected guest
"That is she," cried Liicy, delightfully,
as she espied a lady standing alone upon
the platform, and in a few minutes she
was impulsively kissing her cousin.
"Claudia, this is my husband. Allow
me to introduce him. Graham, Mrs.
Levin."
Graham Lindsay bowed respectfully
to his wife's cousin, and after speaking
a few words of welcome conducted her
to the carriage, placed Lucy in also, and
in little less than an hour they were
driving up the long avenue that led to
Lucy's new home. It was a large, old
fashioned mansion built of brick, rough
cast and had been standing firm and
stately since the old colonial times.
"What a delightful aspect of home
pervades even-thing," said Mrs. Levin,
as Lucy conducted her upstairs to a
arge luxurious bedchamber, furnished
m true Southern style, with a bright
wood-fireburninginthe ample chimney.
m nave dinner in about an
hour said Lucy, "and I will send my
maid Sylvie, up to you immediatelv "
Half an hour later, as Mr. and "Mrs.
Lindsay sat together in the drawing
room, Mrs. Levin entered.
Graham rose, and suppressed an in
voluntary start of admiration, as he
drew a large arm-chair forward for her,
and well he might be thus affected!
Claudia Levin was in the full-blown
perfection of early prime, with every
natural advantage enhanced by careful
Biuay. jji ueuuii, a iuihj auuve tne me- I
dium, with every limb and feature cast
in a faultless mold. Her complexion
was so dark as to be Andalusian. but
her face was as smooth and polished as
an alabaster; and her hair, black as
midnight coarse and glossy, lay in rich
waves against her temples. Her eye
brows were beautifully penciled, and her
large, gleaming, light-gray eyes were
veiled by sweeping jetty lashes. Her
Roman nose, overlooked rather full, but
beautifully curved scarlet lit which
parted to reveal two rows of jx-arly
teeth. She was dressed this evening in
a rich garnet silk, with cream Valenci
ennes about the bosom and sleeves,
which latter were made large and open
so as to display the jiolishwl, rounded
arms, and her ornaments were warm,
glowing rubies. She moved with a
languid grace that became her well, and
sank into the chair with a scarce per
ceptible motion.
Lucy, sitting opposite, with her fair
complexion and light brown hair, aj
peared like one of the blurred, insig
nificant figures in the background of
some radiant picture; and Graham's
eyes were riveted on Mrs. Levin.
"Sylvie has vowed exclusive devotion
to me during my visit," said Claudia,
with a little tuneful laugh.
"And you will find her ;is good ;is her
word," said Graham. "These servants
have as fine a sense of loyalty as any of
the adherents of the Stuarts or IJour
bons." I am very fond of gossiping with the
negroes," said Claudia.
"I hope you are not as easily affected
by their ghost stories :is Lucy is," said
Graham, smiling; and just then dinner
was announced.
After the meal the party played whist
with a dummy until bed time.
As Claudia drew her statuesque hands
softly over thecards.displaying her fault
less arms up to the rounded elbow, Gra
ham with a f;iscinated eye watched
every movement: and when she wished
him "good night," he took the silver
candlestick from his wife's hand and
escorted the guest up stairs in a dreamy,
bewildered manner, like one under a
spell.
"What do you think of Claudia,
dear?" asked Lucy, with a just percepti
ble tremor in her voice, when she found
herself alone with her husband.
"She is a well what men of the
world would call 'a fine woman,' I sup
pose," said Graham with a constrained
little laugh; and rather awkwardly he
changed the subject.
The next afternoon Graham invited
Mrs. Levin to take a horseback ride with
him, and Lucy stood at the library win
dow and saw them mount
Claudia was radiantly beautiful, in an
exquisitely-fitting habit of dark-colored
cloth, with a crest of black ostrich
plumes in her coquettish little velvet
hat. There was a warm Hush on her
dark cheek, and the gleam in her gray
eyes was brighter than usual as she bent
them on her cavalier.
Lucy could not suppress a deep pang
as she beheld her husband drop on one
knee and hold out his hand, which
Claudia put her daintv foot into ; and
the next instant she ban lighted grace
fully into the saddle.
Graham placed the whip into her
hand, then threw himself into his own
stirrups, and they rode away down the
avenue and out of sight. Claudia sat
on her horse charmingly. Graham,
also, was a splendid rider; and ;is Lucy
watched them disappearing through the
trees the hot tears rose to her lashes.
She was very awkward on horseback.
The young wife turned from the win
dow and surveyed her own compara
tively insignicant figure in the mirror.
Truly, she was very inferior, physically.
to her cousin; but O, could it be possi
ble that the bride of one- month was
already eclipsed in her husband's eyes
by the glowing, matured charms of an
other? Presently she started violently at per
ceiving the reflection of a tall, dark
form standing behind her and looking
over her shoulder.
"Good heavens. Martha!" she ex
claimed, "how you frightened me!"
"Young missus," said the old negress,
in a mysterious tone, "oonah musn't git
bex wid old ooman, but 'taint a good
ting for dat lady to be yah. Don't 'vite
urn for stay longer dan you kin help,
Miss Lucy. Ole Matah very near ee
grabe, an' ee kin see moh dan you young
folk. O, Miss Lucy, sen' urn home !"
"What are you talking aliout, Mar
tha?" queried Lucy, with a forced
laugh, but turning pale, nevertheless.
"O, my dear chile, you knows what I
mean," said the aged slave, and she hob
bled away, grunting at every step.
After she was gone Lucy went up
stairs to her dressing-room and gave
way to a flood of tears. "But it will
never do to let my misery be apparent,"
she said to herself; and accordingly she
bathed her face, composed it to a smile,
and dressed herself for dinner.
She had not been in the parlor many
minutes before Claudia came in, glow
ing with exercise and looking bewilder
ingly beautiful, with her long skirt
gathered up gracefully and thrown over
one arm. Graham did not make his ap
pearance until dinner, and all during
that meal he was unusually silent
That night after Claudia Levin had
dismissed her black tiie-woman, she
drew a large easy chair up to her toilet
table, and leaning both her elbows on it,
gazed steadily at her own reflection in
the mirror. "Strange, strange," she said.
musingly, "I have lived for twenty-
eight years without experiencing this
sensation. Tho novelty of it is al
together charming. It is more wann,
wild, delicious! Yes, yes," she continued
in a murmur of suppressed excitement
"the passion that never inflamed my
early youth has seized upon me now;
and in this slender, shapely youth of
twenty-three my heart has found its
king!
"Ha, ha!" she laughed softlv. "I cm
not fail to win. "What has that poor
puny girl to oppose to such wealth of
beauty? This newborn joy is too in
tense for me to strangle in its infancy.
I will not forbid myself to love Graham
Lindsay. And he already loves me"!
She smiled again, a rapturous smile,
as she unconsciously bowed to the per
fection of her Creator's workmanship,
dwelt a few minutes longer on the con
templation of her goddess-like form,
then, prayerless, sought her couclu
Three weeks passed, and the blue cir
cles below Lucy Lindsay's eyes had
deetiened with the decline of every sun.
Her sweet manner had lost none of its
cordiality, and her lips never uttered a
reproach; but she withered inwardly
under a sense of humiliation against
which she felt herself ioverless. Gra
ham took Claudia to ride nearly every
afternoon, and sjwnt his evenings play
ing chess with her. His manner to his
wife was distant and reserved, and often
of evenings while she sat, silent and
forgotten, in a comer of the sofa, seem
ingly engrossed with her crochet work,
she perceived glances of unmistakable
tenderness exchanged by the chess
players. The injured wife shrank like
the veriest coward from the searching
gaze of old Martha's eyes; and, in her
youthful inexierience, brought for the
first time in her life face to face with
such a shameful wrong, it seemed
almost as though she herself were the
criminal.
It wanted just three days of being a
month since Mrs. Levin's arrival, when
she came in from riding, one afternoon,
and running gayly up stairs, tapped at
Lucy's dressing-room door.
"Come in," was the gentle response,
and Claudia entered and thew herself
down on the lounge.
"What do you say to my leaving you
to-morrow, petite Lucy?" she asked,
fixing her eyes upon her cousin's face.
Despite the self-control to which she
had schooled herself, the red blood
sprang into Lucy's face, .anl a hopeful
light kindled in her eyes.
"0, Claudia, I'm very sorry," she said,
constrainedly. "Why cannot you stay
longer?"
"Well," replied Mrs. Levin, with a
little laugh, "I wish to be in Charleston
during race week."
And the next morning Graham drove
her to the station.
Two days after her guest's departure
Lucy, taking her accustomed morning
"walk down to the negro settlement to
inquire into the health of the children
and the infirm old negroes, and see that
they were properly attended to, thus
communed with herself:
"I am thankful, now that Claudia has
gone, that I was never betrayed into
being rude to her. And I never spoke
a word to Graham tho recollection of
which could mortify either of us now.
It is all best as it is. Claudia is a vain
woman, and certainly spared no pains
to increase the infatuation with which
she inspired my husband. However,
now that she is out of his sight, he w ill,
I hope, gradually recover his right mind.
But I am resolved never to have her in
my house again. Such women are
dangerous guests."
Just then there came to her a con
fused jargon of tongues, and all the
other sounds attendant on a general
excitement
"The ricefields!" she exclaimed aloud,
stopping short. "A bank must have
given way."
But as she listened the noise seemed
to proceed from the direction of the
dwelling-house, and she turned and re
traced her steps. As she drew nearer
she perceived a thick smoke that seemed
to issue from the left wing of the build
ing; and presently one of the black
waiter boys came running towards her
with his eyes and mouth wide open and
an expression of honor on his face.
"O, missus," he cried, "the debil is boke
loose iu the goce room. He's sennin
fire trew de windows and the chimbly;
an' all dem niggers is a stannin roun
de house an' hollerin,' 'cep Josey an' me.
He done gone down to de feel for mas
sah, an' I come yah for you."
"Is the house on fire, Paul?" asked
Lucy, quickening her steps.
"Yes, missus. 'Tis breck out in de
goce room, an' dem niggers aint do nuttin
but holla"
In a few minutes Mrs. Lindsay was
on the spot, and saw that the .boy's
words were only too true. A fire had
broken out in that part of the house
where the haunted chamber was, and
the panic-stricken negroes, who had col
lected from all quarters of the plantation,
hold themselves aloof, talking and mak
ing a great commotion, but not one of
them putting forth a hand to save the
building.
"What do you all mean by this con
duct ?" demanded Lucy, authoritatively
confronting t1,otn- "Will you see your
master's house burned down before
your eyes?"
At this, some of the men, looking
rather sheepish, ran for the garden
engine; and as Lucy listened she heard
piercing shrieks, which seemed to her
to proceed from the haunted room.
"My God! that is a human voice," she
cried, clasping her hands in an agony of
terror and bewilderment scarce know
ing which side to hasten to.
xiroeuuy one oi tne woouen wjiidow
shutters was burst open, andrsif by
the main force of a body dajnedagaimst
it, and in the aperahireappeared the
figure of a woman. Her clothing and
hair were in flames, and in the anguished
countenance Lucy reWnized Great
God Claudia Levin! raV another in
stant the wretched womanhad precipi
tated herself from the window, and lay
on the wet grass a quivering heap, wi
even- limb shattered bv the fall and
just enough of life and consciousness
left to feel that a frightful retribution
had come upon her.
Lucy, bewildered and horror-stricken
had yet presence of mind sufficient to
throw her shawl over the pitiable object
and while she was in the act Graham
came up. He seemed to take in the
situation at a glance, and with a groan
of unutterable misery sank on his knees
beside his wife and covered his guilty
face with his hands.
"Rise," said Lucy, sternly, "and do not
expose your crime to the negroes. look
to the house, and I will attend here."
Fifteen minutes later the flames were
all extinguished. The damage to the
building was not very serious, but the
wretched sufferer lingered many hours
after life had become a torture to her.
Her removal to an apartment on the
first floor of the house occasioned her
exquisite suffering; and at two o'clock
on the following morning she yielded up
the last remnant of life that had Uen
exclusively devoted to vanity.
Claudia Levin s remains were .-en t to
St Louis in an iron cotlin, with strict
injunctions that they .should not . ex
posed; and her husband never knew
the particulars of ltrr death.
Graham Lindsay's coiifesMoi! was
briefly this: On the afternoon of his
last ride with the partner of his iniilt,
Claudia hail suggtsited that Lucy's jeal
ousy might ljccome aroused, and there
fore they had concerted that she should
feign to go to Charleston; but after
after dark that same evening. Gra
ham brought her back from Monk's
Corner, and placed her in the haunted
chamber, where he knew that she would
be secure from all intrusion during the
few days that intervened letween that
on which they puroscd to go down to
gether to Charleston and take a steamer
for New York. He had with his own
hands supplied her food and fire; and
her own imprudence in playing with
lighted tajers had occasioned the con
flagration that resulted in her death.
Lucy never breathed a reproach to
add to her husband's bitter remorse;
and she was rewarded for this Christian
forbearance by an unswerving fidelity
and devotion on his part that lasted for
the remainder of their daws.
