GERALDINE; on, THE qm:l:n OF DEATH. FROM AN OLD MANUSCRIPT When my father came to Kansas, and sailed up the Missouri riyer in o wheezy old steamboat, the state was in its infancy, and very few of ihe habits of east peaple had been intrcduced here. At Fort Leaven- worth, however, the officers had mmmuml te secure a few of the com- forts of civilization, and the garrison in those days was the nearest ap- proach to a city of anything west of the Mississippi river. = My father was the post surgeon; also a’ scientist of decp learning and_broad, comprehen- sive thought. During his years of study and rescarch into” the mysteries of nature he had e cumulated m queer and in- teresting inventions of fine mechan- ism perfectly moulded, after ye study, He was an inventor mind and soul the Truits of adorn his 1s 0t budy, d when he brought s of labor to y at the fort, it |»n--wm.ul a veritable “old curiosity shop,” and was the wonder and specu lation of all who were admitted with in its mysterious precinets, I was just approaching manhood then, and my ideas were not deep enough to comprehend my - father's knowledge of chemistry, nov did 1 care to trouble myself with things in comprehensible. T had a licutenancy in the army, and 1 enjoyed the good times we young officers had together, Thad been at the fort ut three years when my mind underwent a great change; T dropped all things light and frivolous, 1 strange books on various religious doctrines, until T beeame disgusted with the theories they ght, and so a new life seemed to open I was an atheist; my belief be W con nd o shake off the strange T entertained, 1 entered my father's l.uburnhu) and became a close student of science and chemistry. And s0 when he died, there was no one so well adapted as I, to take up and carry on the work lie had left be- hind. This T did, and I marveled at the strango things my researches brought forth. About this time Blank was ordered to the fort from the east, and he brought his family with him. He had a lovely daughter, Geraldine was her name, and from the moment I saw her beautiful face, T loved her—aye, wol shipped her, if you will--and from day to day 1 watched her as the h gry vulture watches its prey; and when the balmy June came she passed hours in my laboratory watching the effects of experiments; earth seemed a paradise, too beautiful for vne 8o ungodly as 1. The time came when I could detect her eye following me everywhere; and this vision haunted me by day and figured in my dreams by night. I knew she loved me, but I dare not speak, for our re- ligious ideas were a constant source of difference between us. She called me an wtheist, and when I refused to give up the belief that controlled my whole being, and which I then thought indisputable, she seemed gradually to forsake me. Her visits to my laboratory became less frequent, and T noticed, with all the fierce jealousy of my passionate nature, that a young captain named Minturn was _gradually taking from me the sunshine of my exist- ence. Piqued at this sceming neglect, T sought rcfuge in my studics, and when she came to my labratory door she found it closed; T heard her step, her timid knock, and cven the sigh she gave on turn- ing away. Oh, how I Jonged to fling wide open the cruel door of repara- lmn but stern, austerc uey said, ! She is not yoursnow! Let her go! that pure, godlike lovely for your companiouship.” For days she did not see me, my will w mastered, and, and in my weakness ll.e principles that 1| t, all che while, T watched th the man who smuhl to me from her heart and supplant my right there with his ungracious presence. He assiduous in his attentions to her, and his suit was en- couraged by her father, who was dazed by the wealth Captain Minturn possessed. He was the son of rich parents, and had left a beautiful home at Shrewsbury, on the Atlan- tic coast, to seek adventure in the army. One evening I stood near my fath- ave in the fort cemet when she came slowly along the walk and paused before me. She was as white as the marble head-stones around us, and stood there in a kind of stony si- lence that frightened me. At last she made an effort to s| large tears brimmed over in her beautiful eyes, and she told me that at her father's demand she become engaged to Cap- tain Minturn, and she deemed it right that I should know. Never had a word of love been spoken hetween us; yet that intuitive something that speaks the love-promptings had laid bare our hearts for each other's in- apection, She seated herself by a grave near me, and in the old way reasoned with me, and tried to win me to hercause, ‘‘Richard,” she said, My heart isas eloquent as your brain, and tells me that thereis some- thing more than pitil.ss law in the God that T adore—-a great mysterious, loving God, my Richard, that marks the fall of a sparrow; that looks with tenderest care upon the weakest one of all creatures, and yearns over the sorrow that tears my heart.” She said all this rapidly, with trembling lips and streaming eyes; and, as she ceased speaking, leaned her head on her arms, sobl :ing. I bent over to touch her golden ringlets, but she put her hand up and gently pushed me away. 1 paced the sward with a fierce de- spair within me. “Richard,” she said looking up, “the expression of your face terrifies me; you seem to he meditating something fearful,” “Oh, no; I said, ““I am seeking the consolation of my faith.” “Do not mock me, er Richard!" she ed, “‘my heart is ahnost breaking.” o say that you seek to know God, L only try tolove him, Come kneel here,” I threw myself on the sward before her, She put her hauds on my head, I heard her say ina whisper, “0, Goe! help me,” Tears blinded wy own eyes; Tam not ashamed of them, We clung to sether for a moment, for a long mo ars of | & soul m too ;3 went our lips met.
