THE DAWN OF A NEW LIFE.
Four days afterward, Rosamond and Leonard and Uncle Joseph met
together in the cemetery of the church of Porthgenna.
The earth to which we all return had closed over Her: the weary
pilgrimage of Sarah Leeson had come to its quiet end at last. The
miner's grave from which she had twice plucked in secret her few
memorial fragments of grass had given her the home, in death, which,
in life, she had never known. The roar of the surf was stilled to a
low murmur before it reached the place of her rest; and the wind that
swept joyously over the open moor paused a little when it met the old
trees that watched over the graves, and wound onward softly through
the myrtle hedge which held them all embraced alike in its circle of
lustrous green.
Some hours had passed since the last words of the burial service had
been read. The fresh turf was heaped already over the mound, and the
old head-stone with the miner's epitaph on it had been raised once
more in its former place at the head of the grave. Rosamond was
reading the inscription softly to her husband. Uncle Joseph had walked
a little apart from them while she was thus engaged, and had knelt
down by himself at the foot of the mound. He was fondly smoothing and
patting the newly laid turf--as he had often smoothed Sarah's hair in
the long-past days of her youth--as he had often patted her hand in
the after-time, when her heart was weary and her hair was gray.
"Shall we add any new words to the old, worn letters as they stand
now?" said Rosamond, when she had read the inscription to the end.
"There is a blank space left on the stone. Shall we fill it, love,
with the initials of my mother's name, and the date of her death? I
feel something in my heart which seems to tell me to do that, and to
do no more."
"So let it be, Rosamond," said her husband. "That short and simple
inscription is the fittest and the best."
She looked away, as he gave that answer, to the foot of the grave, and
left him for a moment to approach the old man. "Take my hand, Uncle
Joseph," she said, and touched him gently on the shoulder. "Take my
hand, and let us go back together to the house."
He rose as she spoke, and looked at her doubtfully. The musical box,
inclosed in its well-worn leather case, lay on the grave near the
place where he had been kneeling. Rosamond took it up from the grass,
and slung it in the old place at his side, which it had always
occupied when he was away from home. He sighed a little as he thanked
her. "Mozart can sing no more," he said. "He has sung to the last of
them now!"
"Don't say 'to the last,' yet," said Rosamond--"don't say 'to the
last,' Uncle Joseph, while I am alive. Surely Mozart will sing to
_me_, for my mother's sake?"
A smile--the first she had seen since the time of their
grief--trembled faintly round his lips. "There is comfort in that," he
said; "there is comfort for Uncle Joseph still, in hearing that."
"Take my hand," she repeated softly. "Come home with us now."
He looked down wistfully at the grave. "I will follow you," he said,
"if you will go on before me to the gate."
Rosamond took her husband's arm, and guided him to the path that led
out of the church-yard. As they passed from sight, Uncle Joseph knelt
down once more at the foot of the grave, and pressed his lips on the
fresh turf.
"Good-by, my child," he whispered, and laid his cheek for a moment
against the grass before he rose again.
At the gate, Rosamond was waiting for him. Her right hand was resting
on her husband's arm; her left hand was held out for Uncle Joseph to
take.
"How cool the breeze is!" said Leonard. "How pleasantly the sea
sounds! Surely this is a fine summer day?"
"The calmest and loveliest of the year," said Rosamond. "The only
clouds on the sky are clouds of shining white; the only shadows over
the moor lie light as down on the heather. Oh, Lenny, it is such a
different day from that day of dull oppression and misty heat when we
found the letter in the Myrtle Room! Even the dark tower of our old
house, yonder, looks its brightest and best, as if it waited to
welcome us to the beginning of a new life. I will make it a happy life
to you, and to Uncle Joseph, if I can--happy as the sunshine we are
walking in now. You shall never repent, love, if _I_ can help it, that
you have married a wife who has no claim of her own to the honors of a
family name."
"I can never repent my marriage, Rosamond, because I can never forget
the lesson that my wife has taught me."
"What lesson, Lenny?"
"An old one, my dear, which some of us can never learn too often. The
highest honors, Rosamond, are those which no accident can take
away--the honors that are conferred by LOVE and TRUTH."
THE END.
WILKIE COLLINS'S NOVELS.
HARPER'S
ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY EDITION.
_12mo, Cloth, $1 50 per Volume._
WITH STEEL PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR BY HALPIN.
In view of the visit of Mr. WILKIE COLLINS to this country, Messrs.
HARPER & BROTHERS have the pleasure of announcing a New Library
Edition of the Works of this popular novelist, embellished with many
illustrations by English and American artists--some of which have been
drawn expressly for this edition--and with a New Portrait of the
author, engraved on Steel by HALPIN. One volume will be issued each
month until the completion of the series. The convenient size of the
volumes will commend this tasteful edition to the favor of American
readers, among whom the author of "No Name," "The Woman in White,"
"Man and Wife," and "The New Magdalen," is no less widely known than
among his own countrymen.
Wilkie Collins has no living superior in the art of constructing a
story. Others may equal if not surpass him in the delineation of
character, or in the use of a story for the development of social
theories, or for the redress of a wrong against humanity and
civilization; but in his own domain he stands alone, without a rival.
* * * He holds that "the main element in the attraction of all stories
is the interest of curiosity and the excitement of surprise." Other
writers had discovered this before Collins; but, recognizing the
clumsiness of the contrivances in use by inferior authors, he essays,
by artistic and conscientious use of the same materials and similar
devices, to captivate his readers.--_N. Y. Evening Post._
We can not call to mind any novelist or romancer of past times whose
constructive powers fairly can be placed above his. He is a literary
artist, and a great one too, and he always takes his readers with
him.--_Boston Traveller._
Of all the living writers of English fiction, no one better
understands the art of story-telling than Wilkie Collins. He has a
faculty of coloring the mystery of a plot, exciting terror, pity,
curiosity, and other passions, such as belongs to few if any of his
_confrères_, however much they may excel him in other respects. His
style, too, is singularly appropriate--less forced and artificial than
the average modern novelist.--_Boston Transcript._

Who is there uniting in one person the imagination, the passion, the
humor, the energy, the knowledge of the heart, the artist-like eye,
the originality, the fancy, and the learning of Edward Lytton Bulwer?
In a vivid wit--in profundity and a Gothic massiveness of thought--in
style--in a calm certainty and definitiveness of purpose--in
industry--and, above all, in the power of controlling and regulating,
by volition, his illimitable faculties of mind, he is unequaled--he is
unapproached.--EDGAR A. POE.
