But still there was a something in his nephew's epistle that in spite of the covering of selfishness and misanthropy and indifference that had gradually grown over the miser's heart, touched irresistibly on one chord; his sister he had loved better than any being on earth ; he had been the 11 youngest of three brothers ; they were strong and healthy and handsome, while he, weakly and puny, and of a reserved and silent disposition, had been despised and neglected by his whole family,...
Pagina 42 - THE SILENT TOAST. BY ALARIC A. WATTS. HEALTH to ONE whose cherished name 'T were a mockery here to tell! Jocund friends, forbear to blame If I keep my secret well! Not when revelry grows loud, And the jest and song abound, — To a holier worship vowed,— Would I whisper such a sound ! 'T is not incense offered to her, In my hours of heartless mirth; But a homage deeper, truer, That doth best beseem her worth. Yet the toast I will not pass;— In my heart of hearts I 'll think it: Fill me, then,...

" " Yes, yes, forgive me, Karl ! " and she rose up meekly, and taking his arm they walked slowly away. " One moment ! " exclaimed Pauline, obeying the uncontrolable impulse of her own quick feelings. "Do tell me of her — of poor Gertrude! Does she yet live ? "
Pagina 35 - Moved like an host, in angel-guided fear And sudden faith. So stands the Providence Of God around us ; mystery of Love ! Obscure, unchanging, darkness and defence, — Impenetrable and unmoved above The valley of our watch ; but which shall be The light of Heaven hereafter, when the strife Of wandering stars, that rules this night of life, Dies in the dawning of Eternity. [Age 26.] 1 [First published in The Keepsa'.te for 1846, p. 35, signed
Pagina 142 - ... insensibility. She was desolate in the wide world, her boy an orphan ; who would watch over him and guard him when she was gone ? Parents she had none, nor friends to whom she could confide him. She was well born, but by an imprudent marriage she had, they deemed, lost all claim upon them — it is so easy, when any of our relations commit an indiscretion that brings poverty upon them, and when they cannot possibly be of any further use to us, to magnify this indiscretion into a crime against...

Pagina 23 - ... but he felt assured that on the morrow all Ravenna would be ringing with the event, and he felt the necessity of averting suspicion from himself. As it was known that he had left the city early in the morning to proceed to his country-house, he repaired immediately to his palace, and desiring his servant who admitted him not to mention to any person his momentary return to Ravenna, he caused his fleetest horse to be saddled, and immediately retraced his steps to the Villa, where he remained three...
