over and brought the woundedct-
JESSIE'S VOW.
IN one of our large army hospitals—now, alas!
a common sight in this once peaceful country_
surrounded by the wonnded and dying, Uy a mere
boy. One glance at the fever-flush on his fair
cheek, the unnatural brilliancy of tbe beautiful
blue eye, together with the painfully-restless move
ment that tossed the bright curls from his heated
forehead, told with mournful certainty the tale
that his hours were numbered.
Yet only a fellow-soldier sat beside him. No
fond mother's or sister's hand bathed that fevered
brow; and tender tones whispering words of love
and cemfort were wanting by the bedside of the
dying lad. The physician approached him, and
used as he was to such scenes, said, sadly, " What
.a pity! yesterday such a fair prospect of recovery
and to day no chance. Poor boy!" he continued
in an under tone; "I wonder where his mother
is! but she could never get here in time; Ah,
well! it s fretting so much has done it." Here the
poor lad interrupted, saying, with feverish eacer-
ness, and tkat pretty mingling of Scotch and En
glish alwaya so interesting, " It's na the freltinc •
it's the vow. Sin I canna see her in the boilvi
maun in the spirit, and before night—oh me!" "be
lirious," said the doctor; " I feared it;" and, with
an injunction to the watching soldier to let him
talk as much as he pleased, passed on-"he had no
time to spend by the dying boy. Thus encouraced
to talk-for the young soldier had his senses per
fectly—he turned to his comrade, saving " Will
you hear me tell it, James ? It wad mak the time
seem shorter to speak out what is in mv head
Weel, then, I'll begin at the time when" father
mither, Jessie, an I all lived in that sweet wee
name awa amang the Scotch mountains. We had-
na much, to be sure, but enough to keep oursels
and some'at to spare for our poorer neighbors'
Jessie was a very honnie lass, older then mysel by
some years, and It was na lang till she was prom
ised to the minister of the place. A nice young
(man was he, an all the country round was glad
when it was known. It cam Jessie's birthday just
three months before the wedding-day. She was
very sad, an kep saying how happy she had been
at name, an how no ither spot could ever be to her
what it had been; and then, in the middle of the
dancing an fun, she up an threw her arms round
my jnither's neck, an vowed that always, on that
evening, so lang as my mither was alive, she would
come—whether ' in the body or in the spirit,' she
would never fail.
" 'Twas a wild word for her to speak, an many
o* the neighbors shook their heads as they heard;
an the talk went round the town that Jessie
Graeme had bound hersel by sich a strange vow."
Here the boy paused from extreme exhaustion,
and, as he rested for a few moments, seemed to ba
looking at something very far off; then, rousing
himself, said, " I maun be short; it is near the
time. Jessie was married, an our hearts were just
as glad as children; till one day word cam that
Jessie an her husband were drowned. In crossing
a little loch to visit some sick folk the boat must
'a overturned, for it was found floating; but we
never saw them again.
"Oh, 'twas a bitter time! My mither fretted
much; for, though she kenned it true, she couldna
think of our bonnie lassie lying dead au cold in
her husband's arms, on the stanes at the bottom of
the loch. My father fretted too. He wailna think
that she was dead, hut kep saying she wad soon
be hack to gladden our hearts ance inair; but she
never cam; an we three, wf sickening hearts,
waited for her birthday; we kenned right weel
that, dead or alive, her promise wad be kep.
"The night came, an we sat wi' open door an
curtain drawn from the window (for when they
come in the spirit it's only through the window
they can look). We three by the bright fire sat
waiting for the first sound o' her footstep. I heard
it first, as, wi' the water dripping from her clothes,
she cam awiflly np the walk, an, putting aside the
rose-bush, looked in—only for one moment; then
she.was gone; but by that we kenned she was
dead. It seemed to comfort my mither; so that,
when I left soon after to come here, I made the
same vow, 'that so lang as my mither lived,
whether in the body or in the spirit. I wad, on the
same night, stand by Jessie's side;' an I maun,"
he added, his eyes brightening, and a cold damp
gathering on his brow. " Does no one see ? Don't
you hear the water dripping frae her dress ? My
mither, wi1 her lang gray hair! See, she is put
ting the roses awa. How cold an clammr her
hand is! It is dark!" and, with these words, fell
back lifeless on the bed. In awe-struck silence his
eyes were closed, and the cheeks of the bravest
paled at the thought that the spirit they had so
loved and revered for unfailing tenderness*and true
courage might be, at that moment, standing by
the sister it had so dearly leved, looking through
the casement on the home and parents of their
childhood, while the beautiful frame it had inhab
ited lay motionless before them.
