The voune barrister bod tost no time in comnlv tng wilh the wquesl cilJfriejutIIo bad been lo Doctors U)mmoni, bad duly paid his shilling for the privilege, and had then read the Will, wherein the Honorable Charles Grevilie had bequeathed to each of hiH dntiirliters, on the tin y of her mar ringe, or her majority, the sum of 30,000 h was now Lndy Dampmore'a turn "to triumph. She was surprised ihatSirrred eric should have degrnded himself by be licving for on instant, that any dereil were possible. She felt personally hurt that htt friendu should have been classed with the shurpers and swindlers, to whoso contact ho was only too much accustomed ; and sue trusted that in future, ho would do her the justice to place a little more faith in her penetration Iter amiable son only replied by inquiring which of the girls she would ad vine him to have, as he declared that to himsulf, it wnsa matter of perfect indiffcr- j ence ; when Lady Dampmore immediately named Arabella, she thought her ihe most I manageable ; and Sir Frederic, with Lor- j mine's letter in his pocket, ns a certificate 1 of safety, forthwith proceeded to offer him- self and his debts to the acceptance of Miss Orcville. He had not, however, reached the ex tremity of the gallery, when he remember ed the terms in which his mother had re commended the elder sister ; and with the cunning of persons of his stamp, he mut icred lo hiinatlf "So, so, 'the most manage able,' is she, Lady V.I You want to manage my wifo as you try to manage mo: but 1 11 take you in for once, for egad, I'll ask Blnnce." liy what he considered a fortunate fatal- ny, r.c louml the young lady alone, string ing her harp ; an occupation Irom wmcn however, she immediately desisted, in or der to do the honors of her mother's draw ing room. We feel no inclination to weary our readers or oursclf, by detailing the ad vances of Sir Frederic. That he did his spiriting1 genily we nre bound to believe, nsMiss Blanche Grevilie, the beautiful and accomplished, did not disdain to listen ; and only replied to his verboso professions by culmly remarking . "You are aware, of course, Sir Frederic, that I am utterly with out fortune." ''Pcvlisll glad of it, Miss Blance," tt-as the prompt response, as the gcnileainn pressed the letter of Lorraine closer to his person, to assure himself that ils existence wus not a dream ; "want a fine woman at Dampmore Hall, to displace the dowager, and needn't look further." "But you are quite suiu i not repent marrying a wife without mon ey ? A smile of the most liberal and benevolent impression, radiated the heavy features of the baronet, ns he replied playfully. Don't you be afraid, mv dear girl, we'll manage tu make the pot boil. And now, what say you 1 We'll talk no more about ways and means. Will you have roe ?" " Really, Sir Frederic," aaid Blance, with i nun wtn nv.u vuij.i ! taken me by surprise. Ipe soiyf I c, with well acted coryuetry, "you have quite What do you ex- can venture on no de cision witnout mamma s consent.' "And if the old lady says 'Yes?' "Why then, perhaps," laughed Blance. "I may consider of it." And of course Mrs Grevilc did say "Yes," only warning Sir Frederic to look well into his own henrt before he allied himself to her "penniless girl;" equally, ol course, bo told her that he had done so, and that without I'ltinco he should be rn.i erablc. The last argument was unanswer able ; so the two matrons exchanged n sis terly embrucc. Arabella shook hands with her intended brother-in-law, quite un couscious how near he hail been proposing himself as her own bridegroom; and all was harmony and good humor. Bui desirous as Mrs. Grevilie herself wait to see the marriage fairly over, and Blance definitely disposed of "for better, for orsc," she was by no means prepared for the ar dor with which Lndy Dampmore, (prompt ed as she declared by her son) hurried for ward every preparation for the happy union. She would not listen to the bride-elect when she talked of entrusting her trousseau to a town-milliner; the craft abounded, ns she declared, in Cheltenham, and the future Lady Dampmore ought rather to aspire to lead the fashion thnn to follow it And when Mrs. Grevilie faintly remarked some thing about collecting their connections around them upon so interesting an occa sion, she laughed her out of what the term ed her antiquated notions, and cited twen ty instances in which personal friends of her own, of high rank and enormous wealth had left London just before the ceremony, exprcioly to rid themselves ofthl crowJ by which ihey must. otherwise, have bean in evitably surrounded. Mrs. Uretill made ' tome fceblirfiataAce.ndih bad reason of her own for neither insisting too ptriica ' viouaiy , nor too strongly ; as a accoraio jiy afteff a fewdaj'e hesitation and well tctei reluctance on the part of Blance, thai lime ior me marriage was ham(i;puiiru tot relief of the loo principal parties, who were both tired to death of the (ate whicb the ,' were cemalnr enecunff t 1 - , i hid important puini ..Bectueu, Ul(J Dampmore proceeded (o tngfttl . thtt lh - ceremony should be conducted pnrate- ' t ly as possible, and thaBIanct eboulti have no attendant at tho altar, tare her sister'- while Sir Frederic, on Jut )li; , l sliooldbeaccompai ied onj bj a einjle friend; in which ease there could be o impropriety in licwelf ani de'ar-MrE 0re. A villo being of the party to church, andr h- C ing the happiness of sefing their Ulored " chihlren united. Nothing could be more i affectionate and endearing; and M both the elder ladies shed tears, while dkcussing the ' subject, it was of course arranged avecofd f ing ta Iheif 'daiie ) po wbick Sir Fttd- enc aeeiarea tnai ne noma make a grooms- " mart of Lorraine, for that it would be den!- 4 isb bard, he was by when they were turned off, that be should not be in at the death. ...v ' ;'' The heart of Atabella 4 pare one viU . bound as she heard the decision of the bar- onet ; but she compressed her lipe tightly, .. ft . a a ami no one remarked her emotion, and to a week rolled by. The satins and blondes, (he Brussels hre veils, and chip bonnets Wero nil dulv trimmed - and At Un-th tfi eve of the marriage-day found thepartr as- semblcd ns usual round the tea-table of Mrs. Grevilie, with the addition of Mr. Lorraine, i."' who bad been deposited at the door of the . b otel, just as the promui rpori and their af- ' fee i to: a to relatives were terminating their i desert. . 1 Blanche looked uncommonly pretty ; j there was a triumphant expression in her , deep bluo eye and about her small tnooth, l Lorraine had never previously soirt there, but which he took no trouble to understand. Mrs. Grevilie, too, was radiant, and her - joy circled like a halo round her weeds ; nor did the young barrister fail to perceive how much it was increased by bis own presence. Lndy Da mpore was calm, state- ? ly, and somewhat dictatorial ; like one de- - sirous to enjoy to the full, the success of her exertions. Sir Frederick, a shade t more lethargic and more uncouth lhan ev- er. His work was done: u all the love- making," ns he took an enrfy opportunity if of observing, with great self gratulation, to his friend, " being happily over." ' V From his rapid examination of these set-4 . eral individuals, Lorraine ultimately turned, with an expression strongly bordenn J upon disgust, to remark Arabella. She bad j placed tier chair slightly behind the circle, J and beyond the glare of the lights, and bo fancied that an emotion of deep pain con tracted her fine features at mterrala. Amid the sirifo of tongues she alone was I silent ; but it was not the silence of sullen ness. To all the puerile questions which ;. were from time to time addressed to- her, she answered promptly, and with a smile ; :j but Lorraine felt that the heart was sick from which that smile was forced ; and, bo it from what cause it might, he watched her narrowly. Could he have detected, in the look or manner of Blanche, one sigh or symptom ;' of reluctance at the sacrifice which shu i was about lo make could be hare seen anything in (he bearing of his so culled f friend, which implied anything mure wor thy than die quiet triumph of a selfish na- turc, (here is wo guessing how that even- -ing would have terminaled.
