' 4Mr dear fellow, I am more con. cerned for you than you can imagine I wish it were iu my power to help you.' Don't mentiou it, Wat. I have been imprudent ond extravagant, and suppose I deserve the consequeuces." 'You should have been wiser than to fall under Hoswell's influence; but then you buow him so well as the rest ol us. As for the betting at the races why, a debt of honor must be paid, i f course.' V 'Of course!' And the speaker looked lugubrious- y out of the window, and drummed with his fingers on the sill.' The question is, resumed his friend , how is this to be done, since your un cle refuses to help you?' 'Why, I must dispose of what per sonal property I possess ray watch, books, and so iorth-r-aud so Dav. as ar the money will go. A.nd then I shall join Tyrell's party for the West, and go stoutly to work aud show my uncle that 1 am fit for something.' 'Ilather a! Quixotic plan. What's the use or necessity of going West?' 1 am sick of this place. You know, Wat, I'm not used to. being in debt, and it galls a fellow more than you!ve an idea of to lose his self-respect, and be perpetually dogged and dunned. hy, it has actually made me ill. Vaughan looked anxiously at .his friend. So it has. I noticed the change in you as soon as you entered the room; though it is, no .doubt, partly from over-work! under that old screw, Sands. 'Jjhe idea of his turning you off on account of a little frolic!' ; 'The frolic may have been carried too far,' admitted the other, frankly. 'At any rate, it will serve as a lesson tor the future, he added, philosophi cally. Vaughan walked thoughtfully up and down the room, then, abruptly topped. '.Lives, I ve thought of something. Suppose I get you a loan from my Aunt Deborah?' 'Not for tho worldl' 'Shes ever so rich, and wouldn't miss it. Besides, 6he has never refus ed me anything. You've heard me speak of ray Aunt Deborah?' 'I don't remember, though I've heard that you had a rich maiden auut, with whom you were a great fa vorite, liut as to the loan, V alter I won t hear it! I mean to go to work and make money to pay my own debts.' 'You'll have an awful time of it on in those Western wilds.' . I can bear it,' with a shrug. Vaughau resumed his walk. He was, as he had. said, greatly concerned to see hs friend in this strait, aud still more so at the thought of losing his society for he knew Rives to be in earnest about going west. lie was now thinking how this could be prevented. . His friend, an easy, generous, open-handed fellow had, tor the first time in his life, been led into what sober-minded people regard as evil ways. He had fallen into socie ty net the most desirable: had been led into betting heavily on a friend's horse at the races; had given, chain pagne suppers, aud gotten himself so deeply into debt that his uncle, who had received an exaggerated account oi ii an, naa re i used to assist, or even to see him. Added to this, he had lost his place as banking-clerk,' and was now, as baa been seen, thrown that 1 would never marry a woman for her money not even a young wo man; but an old maid why, it's pre posterous!' Wat laughed a little, but resumed, staunchly: 'You are let me see twenty-eight, or thereabouts ' 'Twenty-seven only!' corrected Rives, with emphasis. 'Well that doesn't form so very very great a "disparity in your ages. And for the rest why, Aunt Debo rah is no beauty, I must admit, but she is remarkably pleasant-looking, clever and agreeable, and the best hearted creature in the world, though a little eccentric.' - . Rives slightly shrugged his shoul ders. , ; And you really think that, with her cleverness, she would marry a young fellow like me?' he said, sarcastically. 'Why not, if you could induce her to like you sufficeatly? As I said, Auut Deborah is peculiar in her tastes and opinions; but, coding to think of it, I am sure she would appreciate you.' 'How is it that she has never mar ried?' ! ; 'Well,' said Vaughan, slowly, 'she has lived a very retired life, and, in fact, I may as well conft ss.she admit ted to me that she never had but one offer, and, as she was at tne time only eighteeu, and the suitor a bald-headed old widower, she very sensibly declin ed.' 'Poor lady! It's unfortunate she could not find some one to suit her. I always pity old maids, and treat them as kindly and respectfully as possibly But as to my marrying Miss Deborah 'Pshaw! Wat, say no more about it. 'Very well, if you won't be persua ded; but you have no idea how much you lose by it. Why, Aunt Debby is the richest single lady that 1 know aud possesses, besides her funded property, one of the finest estates in the country, with a separate farm, and a charming little shooting and fishing- ox, which in the fall Bhe places at the disposal of her male, relatives Why, hello! Wat gave an Indian whoop, which startled his friend 'I wonder I did not think of it before! Now, suppose, Rives, you go down to iilm wood my aunts place and take np your abode in the banting dox until i come, which will De in about two weeks?' 'Why, Wat, you are crazy!' 'is ota bit ot it. Aunt Uebby is always pleased to have the cottage oc cupied. She says it keeps it from moulding, and 1 know that it is not engaged this fall. I'll write to her at once, and say that I want it for an in valid friend, and she ll be1 delighted. What better could you do, since it must be six weeks at least, before Tyrell's party sets out for the West? You can take your servant down with you that devoted fellow, who is so clever at cooking if he will follow you.' Cicero? les, he will follow me anywhere; and I confess, Wat, I should enjoy it, if I were sure it would not incommode your good aunt. I would not for the world iutrude upon her.' Oh, never fear! The cottage is in the midst of a' wood, by the river side, and nearly a mile from the house, and quite out of sight. I'll write this very hour, and meantime you give up your boarding-house, and come and share my rooms with me; aud so it is all arranged,' - concluded the young man, gleefully rubbing bis hands. . - , His confidence in his , aunt was not misplacod.; In two days he recived from that estimable lady a reply to his letter, placing the cottage at his friend's disposal,' and adding that though she was herself at this time absent from home on a brief visit to a sick friend, she had written to her housekeeper to air and prepare the cottage, and supply it with a few ad ditional conveniences, suitable to an invalid. And so, all objections being remov ed, Philip Rives went down to Elm wood accompanied by . his friend Vaughan, to show him the way and put him in possession. It was a charming little rustic cot- ventured nearer for a better view of the fine old house and grounds; but to his surprise he saw a haudsomely dressed lady, past middle age, aud very tall and dignified, cutting roses on a terrace and dropping them into a basket carried by a young lady in a plain gray dress aud garden hat. 'So Miss Deborah has returned home,' he thought, as he rather hasti ly withdrew out of the range of her vision, 'and brought some companion or poor relation with her. A gay life she must lead here, poor thing!' ' Ou the day following he made an excursion to the neighboring village for the purchase of fishing-rods. In returning, he saw a young !ady ap proaching on horseback the same whom he had seen on the previous evening, he was sure; and at the same time an old gentleman passed him on a sober-looking horse. The two met a short distance in front of him. He could not avoid hearing their words as he passed: I am glad to see you looking so well, Miss Agnes. And how is my good friend, your Aunt Deborah?' lhe girl replied in a voice so sweet that Rives iuvoluntarily turned to look at her. And he turned agaiu af ter iroinsr a short distance to see her galloping down the road, and to ad mire her fine form and the -easy graceful carriage which, to his expe- v - s rienced eye. bespoke the perfect horsewoman. I should enjoy riding with that girl,' he thought. 'If only I had ! Chevalier here! I dare say she would not object to an escort, considering her secluded lite. Wonder if shu s de pendent on the old lady? I'll write to Wat and ask who she is. He found himself thinking of ber more than once that evening. : 'She isn t exactly pretty but what a an interesting lace; and what a sweet voice she has! Wonder if she sings! Plainly dressed; should think Miss Debby might bestow upon her some of her own finery. Afraid she has a hard time of it with that stiff old lady. When Wat comes I'll get acquainted; and try - to make it as agreeable for her as I can, poor girl!' The acquaintance was nearer than he thought. Sjtting one evening on a rustic bench, considerably without the domains ef his fishing-box, he heard a light step near, and looked up from nis dook to see 'Miss Agnes appear irom behind a clump of laurel,-and pause immediately in front of .him with a look of startled surprise. . 'Pardon, me! Philip hastened to say, as he arose. . 'I am exceedingly sorry I have intruded. And, to rer lieve your apprehension, allow me to explain that I am Philip Rives at present, by Miss VanghanV kindnss, an occupant of the fishing cottage be low.' Tho young lady blushed a little, and smiled . 'I thought as much when, afterjthe first glance, I saw that you were not a tramp,' she said. ,Of course I have head my aunt speak of Mr. Walter Vaughan's invalid friend. I hope your health is improving in your country retreat.' He answered that he felt much bet ter, and that he took considerable ex ercise had in fact to-day. .fatigued himself with walking, and hence his trespass upon a spot which he had suspected of being frequented by some one. 'It is, I confess, a favorite haunt of mine, the young lady replied very pleasantly; 'but I would not, on any account, drive you away after your fatiguing walk," And then there was just the least bit of archness in the last words, as her glance seemed to take in the tall, stalwart frame and manly bearing of Mr. Walter Vaughan's friend,' So the two sat on . the rustic bench under the elm and chatted, touching lightly here and there on many and various topics, until Rives was sur prised and delighted at his compan ion's intelligence, and fascinated with the sweet, feminine way in which she expressed herself. ; w a W hen be ventured to inquire whether she did not find this secluded country life & little too lonesome, bee reply was that it was her own choice; that her Aunt Deborah often urged her to a mora sociable life, but that she was satisfied with What she had books, flowers and unlimited freedom on this beautiful estate. Not but that she would enjoy society also, if it were of the sort that she desired, but frank ly, people in general did not sue id to appreciate her. And then she laugh ed, in a careless way, as she added that the was too independent to be generally admired. 'Do p-pxi come often to this spot?' Rives inquired, observing her gather her mantle about' her, preparatory to leaving. - 'Very . ofton; but I have other haunts quite as pleasant, and will give this one to you, as you appear to like it' , . . , . He assured her he should fiud the place much more agreeable if she would coutiuue her visits, aud that, in faot, he felt rather lonesome at the cattage. 'Why don't you come up to the house antKget acquaiuted with Auut Deborah?' she iuquired. He replied that he had had a glimpse of his friend Vaughap's aunt, and had been a utile awe stricken by her imposing appearance, conuected with all that he had heard of her wealth, goodness and cleverness. Your friend Vaughau's aunt isu't good or clever enough to frighten reo- ple. Agues said, laughing. fehe is a plain, kind-hearted soul, Isn't it so. Aunt Debby?'

Rives had simply himself fal- len into the error of mistaking 'Aunt Deborah' for an old maid, on which it hal occurred to Walter that it would be a good joke to allow him to remain under that impression uulil introduc ed to the lady at Elruwood. He had, in writing to his youthful aunt, in formed her of his plau. aud also of the horror with which Rives had spoken of marrying for money. You see,' Vaughan continued 'my . . little autity who is barely twenty, vr mice she came iulo welcome to her house.' But Rives decided to wait till Wal ter's arrival; and meantime would Miss Agces allow him to come to this spot to-morrow aud briug the new book he had been speaking of? . .Aud so .it fell out that these young people, met again aud again; aud the young man found himself each lime more interested in Miss Deborah Vaughan's poor niece and companion, for she had told him that she was au orphan, and had been brought up by . a a this aunt aud a dear uncle, uo.v no more. He wrote to Walter and made a cou6dant of him, and finally declared his intention of asking Agnes to be come his wife, if she would not otject to sharing the life of a Western set tier. He was sure ot succeeding in the new life he contemplated, aud they could be very happy in the sim pie aud primitive way of liviug for which he thought they both had taste. Walter laughed outrageously on reading this epistle. Then he hasli ly scribbled off the following answer: 'Dear Phil If you won t be per snaded to marry Auut Deborah and act, the first of the kug series of oppressive messurrrt wuich led to the Independence of America.
