and the envy excited by her uncommon beauty showed itself in triumph over her blighted reputation her father thought it a duty to reprove her for sin and her step-mother said some cutting words a bout the disgrace her conduct had brought upon the family but no kind christian heart reminded her with the assurance that one false step in life might be retriev ed thus was the lily broken in its bud ding beauty and its delicate petals blight ed by harsh winds poor lizzy felt this depressing atmos phere of neglect and scorn ; but fortu nately with less keenness than she would have done before the brain was stultified and heart congealed by shame and sor row she no longer showed much feel ing about anything except the little blue bench marked w and e every moment that she could steal from household du ties she would retire to her little room and seated on this bench would read over william's letters which crushed her lov ing heart she would not allow any per son to remove the bench from her bedside ! or to place a foot upon it to such inan i imate objects does the poor human heart j cling in its desolation years past away monotonously with \ elizabeth ; years of loneliness and labor some young men attracted by her beau ! ty and emboldened by knowledge of her weakness approached her with a famil iarity which they intended for flattery — but their profligacy was too thinly diguis ed to be dangerous to a nature like hers she turned coldly from them all with feel i ings of disgust and weariness when she was about twenty-three years old she went to philadelphia to do house j hold work for a family that wished to hire her important events followed this j change but a veil of obscurity rests over ! the causes that produced them after some months residence in the city her j health failed more and more and she j returned to the country she was still com i petent lo discharge the lighter duties of household labor but she seemed to per ! form them all mechanically and with a j dull stupor after a time it became ob vious that she would again be a mother when questioned her answers were in coherent and contradictory at last she ; gave birth to twins she wept when she i saw them ; but they seemed to have pow er to withdraw her mind from its discon ' solate wanderings when they were a i few months old she expressed a wish | to see philadelphia ; and a lad belonging ! to the family where she had remained du ring her illness agreed to convey her part of the way in a wagon when they came j into the public road she told him she could walk the rest of the way and begged him to return he left her seated on a rock ; near a thick grove nursing her babes — i she was calm and gentle but abstracted as usual that was in the morning — j where or how she spent the day was nev '' er known toward night she arrived in philadelphia at the house where she had formerly lived she seemed very haggard and miserable : what few words she said were abrupt and unmeaning ; and her at j titudes and motions had the sluggish apa ! thy of an insane person the next day there was a rumor afloat that two strangled infants had been found in a grove on the road from chester of course this circumstance soon became ; connected with her name when she was j arrested she gave herself up with the . same gloomy indifference that maiked all her actions she denied having com mitted ihe murder but when asked who ; she supposed had done it she sometimes shuddered and said nothing sometimes said she did not know and sometimes an j swered that the children were still living when conveyed to prison she asked for pen and ink ; and in a short letter rudely penned she begged william to come to her and to bring from her bed room the little blue bench they used to sit upon in the happy days of childhood he came at once and long did the affectionate couple stand locked in each others arms sobbing and without the power to speak it was not until the second interview that her brother could summon courage to ask whether she really committed the crime of which she was accused oh no william she replied you could not suppose 1 did ' you must indeed have dreadfully changed dear lizzy said he ; ' for you used to have a heart that could not hurt a kitten 4 1 am dreadfully changed she answer ed ' but never wanted to harm anything he took her hand played sadly with the emaciated fingers and after a strong effort to control his emotions he said in a subdued voice ' lizzy dear can you tell me who did do it v she started at him with a wild intense gaze that made him shudder then look ing fearfully toward the door she said in a strange mullled whisper ' did xchal poor william bowed his head over the hand that he held in his own and wept like a child during various successive interviews ■he could obtain no satisfactory answer to ; the important question sometimes she j merely gazed at him with a vacant in i sane expression ; sometimes she faintly i answered that she did not know ; and sometimes she said she believed the babes were still alive she gradually became more quiet anil rational under her broth er's soothing influence and one day when he had repeatedly assured her that she could safely trust her secrets to his faithful heart she said with a suppressed whisper as if she feared the sound of her , own voice ' he did it who is lie asked the brother gently ' the father she replied ' did you not know he meant to do it v ' no he told me he would meet me and give me some money but when i i asked him for something to support the children he was angry and choked them i was frightened and fell faint 1 don't know what i did 1 awoke up and found myself on the ground alone and the ba bies lying among the bushes ' \\ hat is his name and where does he liver inquired the brother she gave him a wild look of distress and said — ' oh don't ask inc j ought not to have done so lam a poor sinner — a poor sinner but everybody deserted me the world was very cold ; i had nobody to love ; and he was very kind to me ' but tell me his name urged the bro ther she burst into strange mad laugh picked nervously at the handkerchief she ! held in her hand and repeated idiotical j ly ' name ? name ? i guess the babies are alive now i don't know i don't know — but 1 guess they are to the lawyer she would say nothing | except to deny that she committed the | ; murder all their exertions could wring j from her nothing more distinct than the story she had briefly told her brother during her trial the expression of her countenance was stupid and vacant at times she would drum on the railing be fore her and stare round on the crowd with a bewildered look as if unconscious where she was the deranged state of her mind was strongly urged by her law yer ; but his opponent replied that all this might be assumed to the story she had told in prison it was answered that her not telling of her murder at the time made her an accomplice after the usu al display of legal ingenuity on both sides the jury brought her in guilty of murder and the poor forlorn creature was sen tenced to be hung at chester the wretched brother was stunned by the blow that at first he could not collect his thoughts but it soon occurred to him that the terrible doom might still be ar 1 rested if the case could be brought suit ably before the governor a petition was accordingly drawn up setting forth the alienation of the mind to which she had j beeu subjected in consequence of fits and ! the the extreme doubtfulness whether she j committed the murder her youth her j beauty the severe sorrows of life and the obviously impaired state of her reason touched many hearts and the petition was rapidly signed when william went to j her cell to bid her adieu he tried to cheer ! her with the hope of pardon she listen i ed with listless apathy but when he i pressed her hand and with a mournful ' smile said good bye dear lizzy i shall come back soon and i hope with j good news she pointed tearfully to the j little blue bench and said " let what will happen willie take care of that for j my sake he answered with a choked voice ; and he turned away the tears flowed fast down his manly cheeks she listened to the echoes of his steps and j when she could hear them no longer she threw herself on the floor laid her head down on the little blue bench kissed the j letters carved upon it and sobbed as she j had not sobbed since she was first desert ed by her false lover when the jailor ! went in to carry her supper he found her asleep thus rich masses of her glossy brown hair fell over her pale but still lovely face on which rested a serene \ smile as if she were happy in her dreams \ he stood and gazed upon her and his hard hand brushed away a tear some motion that he made disturbed her slum j ber she opened her eyes from which there beamed for a moment a rational and happy expression as she said " i was out in the woods behind the house holding my little apron to catch the nuts that willie ; threw down mother smiled at me from a blue place between two clouds and said ' come to me my child the next day a clergyman came to see her he spoke of the penalty for sin and . the duty ol being resigned to the demands ; of justice she heard his words as a mo ther hears street sounds when she is watch ing a dying babe they conveyed to her no import when asked if she repented of her sins she said she had been a weak erring creature and she hoped that she was penitent ; but that-vae never commit ted the murder ' are you resigned to die if a pardon \ should not be obtained v he asked • oh yes she replied ' 1 want to die he prayed with her in a spirit of real human love ; and this soothed her heart she spoke seldom after her brother's de . parture ; and often she did not appear to hear when she was spoken to she sat ; on the little blue bench gazing vacantly i on the floor like one already out of the ! body in those days there was a briefer inter ■val between smtence and execution than | at present the fatal day and hour soon ! arrived and still no tidings from the go | vernor men came to lead her to the gal ; laws she seemed to understand what they said to her and turned meekly to obey their orders but she stopped sud denly gazed on the little blue bench and said in a gasping tone '• has william come v when they told her no a shud der seemed to go over her and her pale face became still paler a bit of looking glass hung on the wall in front of her ; and as she raised her head she saw the j little curl that had received her mother's ! caresses and the first kiss of love with a look of the most intense agony she gave a loud groan and burying her face in her hands fell forward on the shoulder of the ! ;

but in the ex citement of the moment he was not heard or noticed ail eyes were fastened on the gallows and soon the awful object came within his own vision father of mercies there are women's garments floating in the air ! there is a struggling a quiver ing — and all is still with a shriek that pierced the ears of the multitude the desperate rider plunged forward his horse fell under him and shouting " a pardon — a pardon !" he roll ed senseless on the ground he came too late the unhappy elizabeth was dead she had gone to " him who made the heart and who alone decidedly can try it ;
