' " 1 All 4 ilea tne tning 10 ner saiisacuon, ,auu uiey were all satisfied that the object of Mr. Everitt's journey was to brinz his niece and her children to jpeside with him.hMr. Everitt had ahvays enjoyed a sin-J gle 'state if blessedness, and now it was but natural in his old! ase, that he should wish to have some one with him: , ' ' . : I pne thought now alone occupied Mrs, Belton's mind. She wislied to remain concealed, so that Dr.BeIton, should he ever search lor her, might be bafllcd in his attempts to find the place of her location. i'AJl the-love she ever felt ibr him she beiieved j entirely extinguished; she would not think on the. subjectjand fed her morbid apathy alone on the retrospection of his ill-treatment. Mr. Ercritt reaiIyconcurred in the desire of his nieco for concealment. He had 'no doubt, should Belton hear of his wife being in easy cir cumsfanccsj and likely , to become the possessor of his property, he would come on, and perhaps be a great annoyance to him, qs well as a constant source of misery to his niece. Accordingly, it was' agreed that Mrs. Belton should, assume her maiden name of Hill and as such, she was intro duetd in her future place of residence. ! Readerl we will ag'ain pass over a lapse of some vears. r ' . " ' . ' ' " . .. Mr. Everitt was now dead, and with the excep tion of two intimate friends, who witnessed the J will, &c.,; of the property of Mr. Everitt to his nie'ee,' she was still known ;as Mrs. Hill, j Not to her children had, she ever breathed one ;word of her, past life. f .Ilenry was now nineteen, and Caroline just in the bloom, .of seventeen, when an event occurred that agnin Opened the fountain of grief in the heart of Mrs. Belton. j ". " Unfortunately for Caroline, sjie had listend to the voice of love, from onq she thought ta be ev ery-"way ! worthy of th first and purest affections of her youthful heart. ; . Mrs. IeIton felt also attached to Edward Sea ton. His frank and open disposition had insensi bly won her esteem; yet when he applied to her for her consent to bis union w ith Caroline, she blamed herself that "she had not more- narrowly investigated his moral character. - Mrs .' Bel ton therefore deferred giving an answer for a few days. Carolina smiled at her motherMS caution Mr. Seaton bdrean tmimpnachable character, so slie feared but httlc the closcstscrufiny of her 'mother.
