ROSAMOND'S BOWER.
Love was everything to Margaret
Mercer—love and home. Shewas
such a very woman to the heart's
core, that I doubt if she had any am-
bition. To wish to be great; to be
known of all the world, to be very
wise or learned, never entered.her
simple mind • but one thing . she
hoped and la:bored for with all her
might—to be empress of her hus-
band's heart, and living queen reg-
nant of his home. Such a home as
she made of it, too—so bright in
every nook and cerner—so bright as
she was with her fair, smooth face—
smooth aye for dimples.
w Mercer should have been
appy pan, and so he esteem-

blest as were Adam and Eve in
paradise. But even to paradise, as
we ternember, there carne a serpent.
So, w Marearet Mercer's home came
one day EltSie Grey-, as fair a serpent
as one could meet—a woman of
whom one said, looking at her for
the first time, "She is as good as
she is beantiful." She came as
governeas for the children.; and
Margaret, charmed by her eweet
face, made a compact of friendship
with her at once, and was well
pleased that Mathew liked the girl.
• "he is so lonely, my dear," said
Margaret, *poking up 'into her bus-
band's1 eyes, as they stoocl before the
pleasant fire on the first evening
after the governess' corning. "And
it is hard for any woman to earn her
bread among Strangers; let us .be
very good to her."
"You cannot help being good to
any one, Margaret," said Mathew,-
" and I will try, but I must not
quite make love to her—eh, Mag-
gie?"
•- Then the wife had turned and
• kissed him.
"1 should be jealous, and • put
poison in a- bowl of coffee, and offer
her the choice between that and
. your sharpest razor," sheisaid'laugh-
ing.
That wae in December. One day
in June Margaret walked a little
thoughtfully among the rose e in her
garden, find wondered whether it
might not ,be that she was a little
jealous. '
"So wrong of me," said she to
herself. " Mathew is only kind to

why papa never came home, and
why mamma wept so bitterly, and
the unconsciousiittle creature born
at the time when her grief was great-
est and the blow but newly
What could she do for her child-
r4ir's bread? . With the question
came a thought to which ambition
never would have given birth. She
could 'paint. Already certaii little
bits of still life, scraps of landscape,
and a child's head or two, proved her
power to put a pretty thing, if not a
fine, one, upon canvas. Many artists
at least lived by their art. She
1.vould live, and her children should
know no _want.And so she began
her life 'Work.
There were hours s to come of
poverty so great, that the prayer for
prayer for daily bread was answered
with no more than bread and.water.
There were nights passed in the
dark, because the purse held nothing
which might be spent for oii or
candle. There were fireless days in
dead of winter; but through, all,
hope lived, and pride, and a moth-
er's love. •
No one guessed what Margaret
suffered; and at last her prospects
brightened. .A. 'certain fashionable
clique took a .fancy to Mrs. Mercer's
pictures; her bits of still life sold;
her childrea's beads were voted
gems, the womanly prettiness ,of
her conceptions pleased the eyes of
of other women, and Margaret felt
very rich and prosperous.
• She had begun with no ambition
save that of love; shelled struggled
only for her children. Now she be-
gan to dream of a name and fame—
of painting great, pictures—of being
a great woman. Strange hopes for
Margaret Mercer—hopes that seldom
mine to any woman until the natur-
al hopes and ambitions of her life are
blasted.
So with no fear .of starving upon
her now, after five years of labor—
ten years in. which no word had ever
eome to her of the man she had lov-
ed so truly; and who bad so Wofully
broken the vow be utteted, to chet-
ish and protect he while life should
last—. -Margaret began the first pie -
tare which went beyond mere pret-
tiness—the first in which action and
expression, • rich draperies, and
• knowledge of the costumes of the
past, wereneeded; a picture of Queen
Eleanor in Rosanaond's Bower. It
was an 'illustration of an old ballad
which told the tale;.and Rosamond
was -wondrous fair, and the Queen
mighty stern and cruel, if the poet
were to be belieyed ; but as she
painted, that whith slept within her
soul found utterance.
Rosamond, beautiful indeed,' had
a face .,as false as it was fair; and
Queen Eleanor's eyes held in their
depths a look of such reproach, that
one might see she was an injured
wife; and the bowl was at Bosun ond's
lips; and upon the wall of the bower
hung a portrait—the portrait of the
Kiri& MerOret did not mean it;
but as she painted hard and fast
through the long summer days, the
faces that grew upon the canvas were
portraits.
• Rosamond was Elsie Grey;
Eleanor had her own features, and
the portrait of the King upon the
wall was that of Mathew Mercer.
Margaret's. children watched her
as she painted—the boy of sixteen
and the girl of foruteen, and the
younger boy who had never seen his
father.
"She is 'just' like mamma—the
Queen I mean," cried this little one
at last; " only mamma never look-
ed so cross.
Not Cross," said the girl. The
Queen is not cross, but angry, and
sbrry, and proud."
The elder boy said nothing for a
while, At last he muttered, "She's
pretty, though, that girl. Who ever
„Looked. like her? I know some one.
Who was it? The King is like what
IT be, *hen I get a beard."
Then Margaret knew what she
done. She sent her children out to
walk, and locked the door. Then
she stood before her easel, strugglieg
with herself. -
- The woman within her said,
"Dash your brush at it, paint it
out,, for you have written down
your life history." The artist said,
"Let it stand. What though it
wring t my heart to look at it it is
the best thing I ever painted."
• The woman looked upon the false
face cf 'Rosamond and the beautiful
portrait of the King, and cast her-
self down and wept. The 'artist
• arse, and saw the gloss upon the
golden hair, and the reflex of light
upon the tvhite satin and the purple
velvet, soft as though one could lift
it in its folds, saw the flesh like
flesh—the shadow, and like the real
light and shadow—saw power and
feeling in the picture, and smiled
through her tears.
• For the first time she understood
that love' was not all of life. For
the first time she stood proud and
ambitious, and hopeful of fame, and
desirous of it ; and this before the
record of her life -grief, with the
beautiful faces of her false huSband
• and . his love, created • by her own
pencil, looking down upon her.
Then she opened the door, and
went to seek her children in the
garden ; and told them how some
day they should ell go to Italy to-
gether ; and was happy, with a
strange prideful happiness, new in
her and new to them.
The picture was sent for public
•bition. It hung in a great gal -
set off by a:dusky prosceniam ;
le went to see it, and it was ad-
d ; critics praised it A rich
offered A great price for it.
• A tear trembled on her eyelash,
• and at last_ she sat down upona.
bench and fairly sobbed aloud, tell-
ing herself all the while how wrong
it was. ,
And just then, without knocking,
in walked Miss Euphenaia,„ Jones,
her. next-door neighbor, and looked
• straight into her wet eyes, turreed,
somewhat indignantly, upon her.
•-• 64 An't well, eh I" said the spinster.
"Not very," said Margaret. "And
tried, you knoiv, ancl —"
"And unhappy," said the spin-
ster. • cc Don't tell me, Mrs. Mercer.
Antl this I say—get rid of that sly
boots of a governess, or you'll have
-
more-reaseta to cry than you have
now. Men are *mere Mrs. Mercer,
and, your huslaand —"
He is the best man inthe world,'
said. Margaret.
"But he's- a man," said the spin-
ster. "Why, look here, my dear.
Men are men, The last bright,eyes
are always brightest. It's only wo-
men that love through , long years
with nothing to show ;for it—not a• .
kiss, not a word, not a letter'wo-
men that love sopae one without a
speck of beauty' until there couldn't
be any face so bright and dear to
them in ail the world. Men an't like
us, and ne-ver will be, and this Elsie
Grey is pretty, my dear."
"But Mathew is my husband,"
panted Margaret
"Then he ought not to be a -walk-
in' with Miss Grey," said the ispine
ster ; "holding her hand, too—he
oughtn't. Don't be frightened. But

But thea the wretched wife fell
forward into her neighbor's arms, in-
sensible.
•Other, neighbors cantle in, and
they put her in bed and took care of
her as though, for once all women
• were sisters. There was no doubt
on any one's mind that the very
worst had come to pass; and so in-
deedit had. Bewitched by the
beautiful eerpent hiswife's kind
heart had warmed and nourished
until it had. strength to sting her,
Mathew Mercer had left his Ihome,
• his wife, and his children, for her
sake.
Margaret had no father or broth-
ers to take her part ;1 she could only

Margaret was proud and glad; so
were the children, to whom she
spoke again of Italy, where she
would paint such pictures as she had
never painted before.
And meanwhile a man'thread-
bare and rusty, old before his time,
with remorse so stamped, upon his
handsome features that a child could
read it there, prowled ciften about
the door of the gallery where the
picture hung; and looked in along
the still echoing entrance, at the ead
of. which the man who took the
tickets sat. At last -he eentured in.
Look here," he said, in a sort of
she • e -faced way, to the ticket -taker;
"1 want to see that , picture. i I
ha en't any money; but I knew
Mr. Mercer' once. • Let me look,

He walked up to the °picture, and
loo ed at it. Then he pressed his
head upon his forehead, and ground
hisi teeth togther.
"Margaret 1 Margaret!" he mut-
tered! "oh, heavens ! Margaret !"
• And then he sat down, staring at
• the picture with eyes that saw those
likenesses as none others ever had.
• He sat there still, when a rustle
of silk, a sweep of velvet, the high
Ones of young voices filled the gal-
lery. A lady walked up the room,
and stood before the picture—a child
by her hand, a tall girl and boy be-
hind her.

ad pulled its mother's sleeve.
' There's a man j ust like the

And Margaret turned her head.
Then her face grew white. She

started to his feet.
"Mathew !" she cried.
He only turned his face away.
"Mathew" she said again, "did

coward enough for that. I came to
look at that pictare. I knew what
I should see; that picture, boru of
your grief, with the story of my
treachery- and your wrong stamped
upon it: 'Did you say to yourself as
you painted it, that thus the mem-
ory of that evil done you should out -
he you, and those who injure you 1".
"1 painted the picture with no
thought of that," she said. ' " Oh,

you are unhappy—" t
"1 am as poor as I deserve to be,"
he. -said., • "Nothing has prospered

"That is Rosamond," said Marga-
ret, as he pointed to the canvas.
"It is Elsy Grey," he said. "As
for the creature, she has been. as
false to me as to you; and 'worse
than the bowl of poison or the 'dag-
ger was offered her by fate before
she died."
" She is dead, then 1" said. Mar-
gret.
"Yes, of a dog's death !" he mut-
t red ; "in a hospital. That's the
ay she died, as 1 shall." .
Margaret went one ste2 neerer.
"YOU have not asked me to for-
give you, Mathew," she said, softly.
"Forgive me,when you. have paint-
ed my crime down to all posterity to
look upon. !" he said. "It is likely ?
Besides, you are rich now"—and he
looked at her costly dresst "and 1
next door to a beggar."
Great tears filled Margaret's eyes.
"Mathew," she said, "does that
picture stand between us ?"
" Your hate — your scorn — that
which gave birth to that picture,

work, for critics to stare at, or rich
men to buy ; but her eyes sparkled,
and her cheeks were aglow.
•"Nothing stands between us now,
Mathew," she said. "There is no
memory of the past on my heart,
any more than on that canvas. Let
it be blotted out for both of us, and
let us begin our life anew together."
And,in a moment, she wept up-
on the bosom of the man who, what-
ever had been his faults, was still
her husbend, and the father of her
children --and the only man she had
ever loved in her life.
I think Margaret will never paint
another great picture in her life.
Pretty things— bits of still life and
woodland nooks, and doves upon
their nests, still grow beneath her
pencil; but no dreams of art or
fame, no longings for Italy, slumber
in her dark eyes now. • Instead, you
see there the •sweet liglat reflected
• from, the fireside, and all her dreams
are qf home. Perhaps she ought
• not to be happy, but she is. And
he who has repented is dear to her,
as the Bible says repentant sinners
are to heaven. And Queen Eleanor,
and Rosamond, and the false King,
and the wrongs and woes that gave
birth to those "counterfeit pre -sent -
merits," have faded from her mind
for ever.
As for the picture, no one guesses
bow it was destroyed, except the
ticket -taker, who, -laying the deed to
the charge of the man he admitted,
keeps his own counsel, lest he should
be blamed.
