WJ0,l!mlea.Uw,e W",01, T jwhoMd fostered her with parental tender- ly Father, and wounded the hearts of those ness. i hat she owed a debt ol gratitucc to those who had with earnest love assum- fanl chartre. All such teaching seemed to fall upon her spiritlike vinegar upon ni tre enttfing a violent effervescence of un reconciled feeling. " - ' George Matshall, who was two years her senior, had been taught to regard her as a dear and only sister; and so he -would . have, had she not always reminded him of the difference, by saying whenever she choso to be diplea?ed at him, Ah! my own $czt Mother Edward, woold not have behaved so." i Of course he was never happy or at ease in her company; and ma ny a bitter tear and heart arhe did eti oc casion her kind and too indulgent aunt It is obvious that the complaining and selfish disposition which she indulged was not calculated to win esteem among her companions, end so she spoke truly when she lamented that she had no friends amonarstthem hut Lucy Maynard, who, be ing a girl of superior mind, and gcnUe na ture, was able to endure her faults, and pity her wilful unhap'piness. To her, therefore, she had always turned for sympathy, and Lury generally succeeded, after a few sen tences of condolence, in diverting her me lancholy thoughts, and inducing her to be cheerful, in spite of herself. . Of course, Lucy was hcrconfiilant, and dearest friend. But of late she had observed that George, her eottBin (icorgo, was also an ardent ad mirer of her dearest Lucy, and this disco very awakened at once a crowd of cruel, because nnamiable sensations. Her young heart now. became acquainted with envy. ' Pwy, nnd revenge-for she pi rsuaded herself that she had loved from infancy and still regarded cousin George with a deep, fervent, and irradicable passion; that he had won her heart by a long series of tender attention; that he waa fickle, and about to sacrifice her to ttie rivalry of a treacherous friend.'. Under this pursuasion she became hclsically miserable, and mop ed in moody melancholy, until ahe made herself really ill. Her friends with tender solicitude, sought to divert her mind, and Mrs. Marshall procured medical advice, and adopted such a regimen, as was judged most expedient for the restoration of her bodily . health, so that her illness never amounted to more. than an interesting de licacy of constitution.. But thta evening when cousin George, regavdless of her ex pressed desire for his society, had gone to pass the evening with Lucy Maynard, she resolved, in her heart, lo die, if possible. Lucy Maynard w.is now sixteen, and gave ptomUe ef greet beauty both of miad and frvn; and Ceorje ManUH loved her, un thedt-aiLle. love, wbieh spnng icg ep wait the first dawa of iaielien, rowa. wjUi the grwth of t!e mind, be comes a part cJF eiery pcrpose, of every letting, fct ever fcpt and ajurali6n; which, tmioin moyad ha ctject, aeeom modates i:!f to every peculiarity cf spi rit sad temperament, and thus, when it is mutual, forms a peifcrl and everlasting un ion. ' .. But the time had anived ia hich George we t leave home, aud c mmeee his collegiate stedies. lie fined with the friends uf hit childhood as boys usu ally part with such ; and havirg aetded a pl of eorreepordeiiee with Lucy and Ella, lie departed f. r a dteiatit city. Time pd on. He made rapid progress in his allotted studies, and at the end if Uie year, ear to:ne to spend a taeation of a few weeks. He wis eery much improved, and Ella,' as she looked upon him, felt hei st'fifhneas so much su'died,, that she eould have knelt down it his feet and of fered Mm 'the l.nmige of a weichiping hesrt. B"l atlhonjH he greeted lr with fraternal aSl-eiion, she felt that there was no love in the kia which hepreed up on her fir forehead ; no passionate admi ration in his eye, aa he expressed his plea sure st finding her so very beautiful. But luey be di l not say what he thought of the change thst a year had made in her, and he barely touched her hand when he met hei.but there was a lane usre in his eye and voice, not to be mntaken by the keen watch of tealouiy. Ella taw and waa miserable. George Lad determined to declare nnnseir t- L.uy Define he re turned to Yale but ss his departure drew nigh, he found no opportunity.

He fdl constrained! and irritable, ami after an hour, spent ve ty unpleasantly, took hie leave. He walk ed silently home by the a de of his cou sin ; and before iunrise the next meiuing eommenred his journey. Immediately Upon his arrival, however, he wrote to Lucy, and poured nut hie whole soul, be seeching of her an immediate answer. But Ella has foreseen iht, and the letter never readied her for whom it was in tended. A second missive met Vie same fate ; and the haughty young maa deem ed his love despised. .' ' ' Meantime a stranger had arrived at tha Tillage in which our. heroines dwelt, a young and elegmt mn, who had just come into possession of a large property, by the death of his father. , Of course he was an object of intense interest to the young Indies of the vicinity, and during the first weeks of his sojourn, Ella Green boasted of being the object of his psrtie- nlar a tention. Hut Lucy Maynard who seemed destined ever lo come between her and the object of her wishes, became at length the acknowledged object of his fond idolatry. Ella concealed her rancour, and having suffered matters to proceed until she deemed thatsome hearts were so committed that they would writhe beneath the blow she mediated, she wrote to George Mar-' shall, detailing in the most naive and in nocent manner, the circumstances of Lu cy's connection with the rich nd hand some Mr. Elliot; taking care to insinuate that Lucy was .deeply enamored, and thai a speedy wedding was talked of. .Then she turned to EUiot, warned him that he was worshipping at the shrine of the most consummate coquette; related theJiitory of her consin George, how he had loved her from his infancy, how, to her knowl edge, she had professed to return hia af fection, how he had written to her the most impassioned letters, and how Lury was indulging in cruel sporPwith one or both of her honorable suitors. The mis chief sped. Mr. Elliot left Ai village suddenly, and went none knew whither; and George Marshall, when his colle giate term was expired, went abroad, with out visiting his parents; and after two years. absence, returned with a beautiful and amiable young bride. , His excellent mother had died suddenly, just before his arrival; and he yielded to the entreaties of his sorrowing, father, that he would take tin his abode at the old homestead. The fair vouni Mrs. Marshall was de lighted with the romantic beauty of the old-fashioned house, in its bower of ro ses, and sweet-blossomed, vines, amid a wilderness of fruit trees; while a clear brook danced to its own music,' past the door, and along the foot "of the rich gar den. She had been reared in the heart of a dense city, and felt, in heir new home. as we may suppose a Mcd spirit reels, in the freedom and beanly of Paradise., : George did not ask for Lucy Maynard, but he soon learned that her father' had removed with Jiis family, to the Wee?, t the great ( wonder of every body, who could not imagine, why he had left his beautiful farm, to try the adtenturoo life of a first settler; especially as he had no ehild but Lucy. , However, he had gone. and George Marshall bieatherj more free ly when he learned that be was not liksly to meet seam her whom he had so loved. tie feared that Ella might leel a prrju lice agniast kk young wife, aad resolved if ssrh si evlJ be t! e eve. to remove lm- aedttr!y from the l.oe, Into whkh she baj been adapted. lie ss, tioecier. i.Ieed ta rereeirc trai s!,e attached lir erlf to the I'm id auerer, wiik alt fie wsroiih vf iterly atTretioa.
