"You are welcome, oh, welcome, as life to the dead, my love! But I do not understand my blessedness--I do not," he said, dropping his head on her shoulders, while she still lay on his bosom, in a dream, a trance of perfect contentment. "Oh, Rule, my husband, my lord, my king! I have come to you, unconsciously led by the Divine Providence! But I have come to you, to stay forever, if you will have me! I have come, never, never, never to leave you, unless you send me away!" she said. "I send you away, dear? I send away my restored life from me? Ah, you know, you know how impossible that would be! But if I should try to tell you, dear, all that I feel at this moment, I should fail, and talk folly, for no human words can utter this, dear! But I am amazed--amazed to see you here with me, as the dead to the material world might be, on awaking amid the splendors of Paradise!" "You wish to know how I came?" "No! I do not! Amazed as I may be, I am content to know that you are here, dear--here! But," he said, looking around on the rudeness of his hut, "oh, what a place to receive you in! I left you in a palace, surrounded by all the splendors and luxuries of civilization! I receive you in a log cabin, bare of even the necessaries and comforts of life!" he added, gravely. "But you left me a discarded, broken-hearted woman, and you receive me a restored and happy wife!" she exclaimed. "But, oh, Cora! can you live with me here, here? Look around you, dear! Look on the home you would share!--the walls of logs, the chimney of rocks, the floor of stone, the cups and dishes of earthenware, pewter and iron, the--" She interrupted him, passionately: "But you are here, Rule! You! you! And the log hut is transfigured into a mansion of light! A mansion like the many in our Heavenly Father's House! Oh, Rule! you, you are all, all to me! life, joy, riches, splendor, all to me! Am I all to you, Rule?" "All of earth and heaven, dear." "Oh, happy I am! Oh, I thank God, I thank God for this happiness! Rule, we will never part again!--never for a single day! But be together, to-day and 'To-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow, To the last syllable of recorded time,' and through the endless ages of eternity! Oh, Rule, how could we ever have mistaken our hearts? How could we ever have parted?"
