There was a sort of bitterness in
the last words, notieed by Pet, who
was eagerly and admiringly examin-
ing the drawings. One, in particular
struck her; it represented a large
shadowy church, buried in iningled
lights and shades, that gave a
gloomy, spectral, weird appearance
to 'the sccne. At the upper end,
near the grand altar, stood a. youth
and a maiden, while near stood a
white -robed clergyman, book in
hand.. • A dying bird seemed But-
tering over their heads and ready to
drop at their feet. The fe.ce of the
youth could not be seen, but the
lovely, child1lk faee of the girl was
the chief attraction of the drawing.
Its look of Unutterable love, mingled
with a strange, nameless terror; its
rare loveliness, and the passionate
worship in the,seyes upturned to him
Who stood beside her, sent a strange
thrill to the very heart of Pet. The
lace was familiar, just, as those we
see in dreams are; but whether she
had dreamed of one like tide, or had
really seen it, she could not tell, She
gazed and gazede ad the longer she
gazed, the surer she was that ehe
