S MARA'S STORY. Elizabeth M. Gilmer in New Picayune: T have just been looking upon the face of Mara, dead. When those we love pass into the silence of death, no matter how cruelly fate has dealt by them, we do not say that we are glad. Yet when I stood above the coffined form of my dead friend--she to whom my heart clave as David’s did Jonathan--when I saw the smile upon her still face, if I might have laid my warm lips upon her cold mouth and breathed into her once more the breath of life, if I might have laid my heart against her heart and sent the subtile clixer of the blood coursing aguin through her T veins, if it had been vouchsafed me to work some such mira- cle as this, I would have done it. As I passed through the garden to the house where she lay dead I plucked asprig of rue and rosemary and laid them hidden under all the wealth of hothouse flowers upon her heart. “Dear,” I suid so quietly, that none might hear it save the dead, “dear,even in the grave thou must remember,” Allduy long she lay upon her with that still, cold smile like sunshine on her face,and the people sho had known in life came in by one, and twos to look upon her forthe last time. *‘How beautiful she was,” they said, nd how sad for one to die so young. he had everything in life.,” * * 7% And they passed chattering out into the busy street where the sun shone and the world rushed on us if there was no Mara lying dead behind drawn blinds. But at last the night fell and I prayed for them to leave me alone with the dead. In all the world only I, who had laid the sprig and rosemary among the costly funeral trappings, kmew the secret of that still heart, and it seemed to methat even in eternity she must kuow that for the last time I watched beside her, and must be glad. 1 took in mine the lifeless hand, whose coldness did not appall me, and laid my cheek against it. The room was very still. I coula hear the mufiled ticking of a clock somewhere in the distance, the night air came in through the half opened window, heavy with the per- fume from the garden, the moonlight touched and glorified the still, sweet smile on the dead face, * * * W hat was it they had said of he That she autiful, and it was as she w di ¢ s that she was rich: that costly gowns and splendid x at the opera; that her gave her fine raiment and dainty food, and so they brought their ( over big hothouse roses to lay upon her bier and suid that it was sad; but I, who brought her nothing but rue and rose- mary, I knew that no tears should fall upon the happy dead. The hand I held in mine was strangely heavy, and the moon striking Lupon it showed a gleawing band upon her finger, a massive golden fettor that Orleans such meant had | a¢ was her wedding ring. I shrank asT saw it, as if some oue had struck me. All at once the wind blew cold and sharp, but the hand was half shut as if, even in death, Mara remembered to guard that heavy band and keep it from slipping from hér slender hold. Perhaps none of us are quite free from superstition, and even our best be- loved, when dead, are strange to us. I turned and looked upon her. I had loved her so long, and it scemed tome that I could read in the quiet smile, and the fair face that no suffering could make unlovely, nothing but the mute elo- quence of that guarded ring. I have often wondered how Mara came to tell me her story. It is common one, so many women'’s liv like hers it is scarcely worth te and yet in the deep silénce of the night, With that doad hasd in mine, tho only thing that scomed a living, breathing, palpitating reality was the quiet trag- edy on whose end the curtain had just rung down. All her life T had known Mara, but in the wandering newspaper career 1 had chn n there were sometimes breaks of rs in our intimacy, when I heard of hur as a school girl or a debutante, or a soci belle, and then I heard of her marriage, and from time to time rumors reached me of the magnificence of her entertainments, and I was vaguely con- scious that she was pursuing the life of a fashionable woman in one of our great cities. And then fate threw us together again at a little seacoast village, and the old friendship renewed itself. 1 think I knew almost from the very first that all was not well with Mara. She was greatly changed, and was even more beautiful than I had remembered but there was that something in ou may often see the expres- sion in a proud woman’s eyes—that tells plmncr than any words the story of her life. It is the history of the agony with which she had seen her idol torn down and trampled underfoot, defiled forever in her sight; it is the memory of the broken ]m]w and torn illusions in which sh alizes that her youth, with all its divine hope and faith, is gone from her never more to be replaced. a woman may again, but to her no man can ngain a go She has seel with which her own fancy idol fall from it, leav- ing it basest elay. and she believes and hopes and trusts no morve. I suppose I read this stovy little by little in Mara's eyes in the long summer days we were together. I saw her with her husband, . [ saw that she bent her will to his slightest law; that she stayed her quick brain to lm-|. pace with his slow thoughti. that she brought her keen wit to brighten the mar] or the tedious game of seomed the only thing he car it angered me. 1 told myself that he selfish,, that he understood nothing of her quick throbbing life, of her thought that was like a lightning flash, electri burning, consuming. The were made of such difjerent fiber their lives could never be inte * Finally the husband wi and for daysand days M L silently on the sands together or talke .l in such disjointed sentences as only friends may, each saying the thought that rose to the heart with the certainty the other would answer even the un- spoken word, On one such day as this -the sky had been like turquois above us and an orange sunset was streaking all the west with tawny gold, the little ships were coming in or going out s the flaming water with all” sails set—Mara and I were sitting on the white sands together. She had been watching, I remember, a little hoat that was going from us, and her face was turned from me so I only saw its profile MAY 27, 1888,—SIXTEEN PAGES URTAIN DEPARTMENT. SWEEPING CUT!

She had been silent for a long time, and when she spoke it was half under llu br h. “It is like my life,” she said; ‘“‘all the white things and the bright things have gone from me. And then before either of us ‘were aware of it the barriers of convention- ality were down aund she was telling me the story of her life. 1 know not what words she used. Sometimes she spoke very rapidly and again there were long pausesand breaks in her sentences, but I sn\v asif she had painted her portrait, the young girl so cruelly ignorant of life, with all the ii- lusionsand dreams of a seu s native nature—a creature so “’dllll hearted and generous she clothed the world in rainbow colors and could not see beyond the veil her fancy wove; I saw her [ull of faith and hope and trust, marrying—putting her all on the throw of one great stake and losing.

A Washing ton spec ial to the Chicago Tribune, snys: The serious illnoss of Emperor Dom Pedro I1. at Milan has led to some talk of the succession to the throne in case of his death tion. Iven before the news attack in Ttaly the ent reports of his intention own, but these had given we |v to nees that he would return to Rio o the present month.

The possibil- ity of an inherited bent to throw off the eares of reigning with the advance of years was inereased in the case of the Present emperor by his well-known pre- dilection for occusional absence from his domains and his fondness for tray- eling. He has now becn absent in Europe for some months, and should congiderations of permanent and aggravated iH-health be im- perative it would be by no mecans sur- prising to find him giving up his throne Brazil follows Portugal in its ex- clusion of the Salic law, so that females may occupy the throne.

Thus for some years the former was looked upon by lhuu Pedro himself as probably the fu- ture occupant of his throne; and his unusually fine presence and winning manners, th his hearty sympath in the intellectual pursuitsof gruudy- father, made him a favorite alike with ° the emperor and the pcollylu while since the d his mother he has seemed aliy dear to Dom Pedro. Perhaps were he able to hand the sceptre to this young prince, who, having just passed \is twenty-second year, is quite capable. ielding it, he would be tempted tor resign the s of the throne, which he has occupied for nearly half’ a cen- tury, exclusive of his previous reign umlcr guardianship, and devote himself to travel, study, and the reparation of his health. However, affairs hrve gone on quietly during the princ regent’s sway. One change of ministry has occurred and there have been business adversities, which, however, are not traceable to: political causes. = Still, with the marked ability or taste for statecraft on the part of Princess Izabel, her accession to the vereign would give Brazil- o phase of uncertainty. The Dom Pedro to health and his continuance on the throne must be the ardent desire of the Brazilians., His reign of more that fifty-seven yeavs, in- cluding the period of the regency, sups passes in length that of Queen Victoria and makes him senior among the sove- reigns.
