THS
RUIHID MERCHANT.
BY NELLIE.
Mr. Stanley had been a successful
mrrchant. He begna life wiih nothing
but on excellent education, and with
no means but in his untiring diligence
and sterling honesly, worked his way
up in the world until he stood foremost
in wealth and station. He had only
onefVhild a dauhier. , His wife had
died when her child was four or five
yenr old. , He never married after,
for he cherished the memory of hi lov
ed wife, and wished not to have her
place filled by another.
Florence "Stanley, at the time of,
which we write was nineteen a joy
ous, laughter-loving girl. She was of
a medium height, and .her golden, hair
fell in rippling wawa.over her snowy
shoulders. Iter blue eyes would dance
with merriment, and the dimples would
play bide and seek wiih ttie roses in
her cheeks. As may be supposed, she
had plenty of suitors some attracted by,
her beauty, some by her wealth, and
others loved her for herself. But of all
her-suitors , there were only two for
whom she really cared, and both were
handsome, accomplished and wealthy.
She was undecided in her mind which
she. loved best Her kind, thoughtful
father saw the quandary she was in,
and determined to assist her all that lay
in his power..
At length rumors were afloat that
Mr. Stanley had failed; and in a few
days the spleqdid hoine was abandon
ed, arid he removed to a small house in
a less fashionable part of the city. Mr.
Stanley had broken the news geniy to
his daughter, and told her she would
be deprived of the luxuries to which she
had been accustomed ; but the noble
hearted girl threw her arms around his
neck, and embracing him, said ?
I am not deprived of you, my fath
er, and with you I can lie happy.
' But my own Flory, your friends and
admirers will possibly pass vou bv. and
you will be coldly treated by those who
are now your otiuals.
'Itvas'a'h'dtlesinlo leorn, arrthefmc! Sitdrnvn.' He came and sat down
tears welled up into her beautiful eyes
but she struggled bravely, and said,
"Let it be so, then. I am nble to
stand it,' and smiling through her tears,
added, " and then we shall know, who
are true.lnends and who arc not ; but
should all forsake us we still have each
other to love, my father.'
Mr. Star,Vy clasped his rioble daugh
ter to his heart and thanked God for
bis treasure.
The two suitors for who, as we men
tioned, Florence had a regard, were
Harry Lenox nnd Gerald Ellerslie.
J he manner in which the news ol Mr
Stanley's failure affected them we shall
shortly see. Mr. Lenox was in the read
ing-room of a hotel, and was looking
carelessly over the morning papers,
when the announcement ol Mr. fctan
ley's failure attracted his attention.
' The deuce ! he exclaimed, ' who
would have thought it ? I am glad 1
have not committed myself, as i thought
of doing. Pity Florence, though, lor
she is a confounded pretly girl !' and
with thi3 he dismissed all thoughts of
her.
On the afternoon of the samp' day a
lady was walking slowly down the fash
ionable promenade, when she heard
quick steps behind her, and soon she
was joined by a gentleman. He was
tall and handsome, with dark laughing
eyes, and the raven hair clustered
thickly arcund the broad, intellectual
forehead.
Good evening, Miss Leighton,' he
said. ,
Good evening, Mr. Ellerslie, she
answered, lixjkifig quickly up, ' when
did you get in from the country?'
' I arrived in town this afternoon,' he
answered.
. ' Then you hare heard the news, I
presume?'
What news !' he said.
'Mr. Stanley has broken up,' she
' , i i i- ' l
said, and seeing the look of astonish-
i . . , ..
rnent on lir I'limminim'i ijr-n n1I..l
it was entirely unexpected by the pub
lic, I believe.'
' It is not king since he was speaking
about his business to me,' (for to tell
the truth, Mr. Stanley approved of Mr.
Ellcrilies suit, and would have been'
better .pleased wjih him than any of her'
other suitors,) ' nnd said it was never
more prosperous than now. Do you ,
know where they have moved V f
' I have heard the name.of the street,'
she answered. " ... . -
'Most likely you will be calling on
her, and, if so, please bear my repects
to Miss and Mr. Stanley, and tell them
another business engagement will pic-1
vent me from seeing them.'
She assented, though she had not the
remotest idea of ever calling, and short-
ly afterwards he bade her good bye.'
;
It-was near tea time, about three,
weeks after this, that Florence Stanley

was thinking of the days gone by, and

had thought at first, she could brave it
all, hut it was only with many tears and
silent struggles, hidden, from even the
watchful eves of her father, that she at
length coufd bear, unmoved, the scorn
ful glances and whispered words, she
daily saw andhenrd. , Many had cal
ledoIlher,butthecoldregretsnndfrigid-:lpmr,
ly polite tones had told her plainer than i
wo'rds, the feelings of the persons. j
Few there were whose kind words and:
affectionate manner were unchanged, !
and to these she clung trustfully and
lovingly. I
But what had become of Gerald Ell-
...,,.,, rx i ... !
erslie? Mie nan nearu o' L,enox, now
he courted other ladie3, and never men
tioned her except to pass an empty re
gret on her changed circumstances, if
her name was mentioned ; but ot Ger
ald she had heard nothing, and she was
too proud to ask for him. , Her father,
at length came in. She thought as they
sat together at Ihe cosy little tea-taoie,
that he had an unusual flow of spirits,
but imagined that it was assumed for
her sake. They finished their tea and
her father, contrary to his usual cus
tom, took his hat and cane and prepar
ed to go out.
Going out, papa ?' she said.
4 Yes, my love,' he answered ; ' I hav
some business which cannot be put off;
but I hope you will not find the time
long, Floy. Good evening my dear,'
and he stooped down n'.id kissed her.
There was a merry twinkle in his eyes
as he spoke, and smiling he went oL
Florence went into the parlor, and
sat down in the gathering twilight to
think of all that had happened. She
had .been sitting for a half hour, when
a deep, manly voice beside her said :
Dreaming Miss Stanley ?'
She started up, nnd there stood.
.Gerald LUershe.
I 4 Oh ! Mr- E!rer!ie, how you started

How have you been this long time?'
he asked.
'Indeed, I don't know whether I
should tell you or not,' she said, you

'I suppose I will' said Florence,
laughing, for the doubts were all gone
Florence, dear Florence! I came
to-night to tell you that I love you.
May I, dare I hope ? Say not nay,
dearest only give nie one look, or one
little word. Say, darling, will you be

Florence when he began speaking,
had lowered her head, and the long
curls had tallen over her tace : when
he finished speaking, she gently raised
her head, and one timid, loving glance
at him then dropped her head on his
shoulder. lie threw his arms around
her, and drawing her to him, kissed her
and murmured :
' My darling !'
Rut 'soon a. thought of her poverty
stung her, and freeing herself from his
clasp she said :
4 15 ut Gerald, I am only a poor girl
now, and cannot give you anything be
side myself.'
' Which is more to me than all the
wealth of the Indies,' he answered,
drawing her to his bosom

afteruoon, and told him I should call
'this evening.'
' Ah ! that acounts for his going out,
then,' said Florence. 'I could not
think w hat could be the business that
would induce him to leave me alone.'
And the now perfectly happy Flor-
ence nestled more closely to her lover's
bosom. This the evening passed in
pleasant conversation, until the clock
struek nine and her father's, step was
in ihe parlor.
4 Ha! Floy, was the time very long
passing away ? You see, I knew how
charming you could get along without
me, although you look so doubtingly !'
and, laughing heartily, the gentleman
took up a lamp and bade them ' g. od

The mounlh of travel had expired,

Gerald and Florence saw at once
the meaning of the sudden poverty.
It had been assumed bv the thought-

ments of Florence s suitors and it had
succeeded, even as he had expected.
A year has passed since their mar-
riage, and we will now take a peep in
at them. Florence is sealed at the pia-

watchful eyes every now and then,
glance at the little phenomena crowing

the following,
Governor Wtllcr,
w hich is worth printing.
It seems that, a lew days since, one
of those persons who are often met wiih
in this country seeking for employment,
came to the premises of his Kxcriit iK V,
and found him pinning his vinevard,
which employment made it nt-eessary
1o divest himsrlf of his coat, and alto
gether gave liiin the outward appear
ance of a day laborer. The stranger
approached the Governor, and the fol
lowing colloquy ensued :
' I say, Cap., does tc man who owns
there premises wan', to hiie ai.v more
help?"
' No, sir, I think not he has all the
help lie wants at present.'
' Right mec place this.'
4 Yes this is a very nice firm.'
' Well, Cap., if its a fair question,
what wages do you get here ''
' Oh. only get my board and clothes,
and nothing to brag of at that.'
You muM be harder up than I nni,
to work for them prices.'
The Governor allowed his ii;tei'ref-
