MARY GORING. Vi.-, THIC ARGUMENT. 1 The story commenced below is from a eries of sketches, entitled "Experiences in the Life of Hester Halliwoll." She treats of many things occurring anterior to the , events related in the nnriativo we design publishing, but these facts came to her knowledge during the trials of her neico. | To give a clearer insight into the morits of , our story we will epitomize. Torn Elliot < ran away with a young lady, when ho was i only a medical pupil, and married her. Her father never forgave them, and left all his ( money to his eldest daughter. That eldest | daughter was a widow then, and in time l she died?died vouncr?and benueathed I y . * tlio money to the Elliots. His poor wife . lost all her chihlren except a son and , daughter. Tlio latter was 1} partial idiot, j causing deep affliction to the mother. Mean- 1 time Tom Elliot removed to London, was knighted, and became famous in his profe*- ^ sion. Gold flowed in upon him now, and severe dignity to the external world marked ^ his life. To his wife ho was indifferent, t and both pursued a course of conduct cnl ' ciliated to perpetuate estrangement. Of ' this the world knew nothing. Their son William was now a young gentleman of , amiable disposition and attractive face < and form. The daughter, a lady of no 1 mind, and scarcely susceptible of mental j cultivation. Miss Halliwell taught a young i ladies' seminary, and the character she had i earned for herself induced Lady Elliot to I intrust her daughter to Iter care and con- j1 trol. Pursuing her studies with her aunt | Halliwell, was Mary Goring, a sweet and t affectionate girl. To her Clara Elliot be came warmly attached. This school con- j neclion often afforded William Elliot inter- ? views with Mary Goring. The first appear- v mice of William at the house of Miss Halli- ( well caused that go-d lady to feel a presen- , tirnent of coming trouble, and to this she 3 alludes below. The readoj; can now under- c stand what is to follow, in this and tuiee (' succeeding papers: I. * So that warning chill I..?u worked itself: out at last, and the tribulation had come. Was it my fault? I Fas it my fuult? I shall ask myself the question to the latest hour.of my life. Perhaps, when they invited her to spend some timo in their luxu- ' rious house, I ought to have remembered the chill, and that it was the first liiue 1 saw thou together when it had stolon over me. and therefore hare refused my consent.

"They livo in style, they keep gay 0 company, it will bo giving Mary ideas be " yond her sphere of life," wore all the nrgu- ? raenU I could urge; nouo difficult to overrule. So Mary went for n few day6 at Ess- ! ter, which would have been nothing, for; H alio camo home, I do boliovo, perfectly | !' lieart-whole; but she went again at midsummer, to accompany Lady Elliot and j Clara to the sea shore, and then tho mis- j n chief was done. What else could have J been expected, thrown, as riio was into tho 1 ' fascinating society of William Elliot? 1 s< ' f But who wn6 to know that he would make one of the party! Nobody. In the ?.il week of Lady Elliot's ariival at. Spa, (as ''( good a name as anv other for their marine resideuce, it not being convenient to give ^ the right one^. she was surprised at being j followed thither by ber son. lie was conic 1 for some sea-bathing, he said, and forthwith engaged apartments a nn hotel. Nine J weeks her ladyship remained?nine weeks!, and the whole of thnt time were ho and \ ' Mary perpetually together. Sir Thomas [ j Elliot wrote once, a curt, decisive letter of threo lines, demanding how much more i t!mo ho meant t<? waste, and Mr. William i l' wrote back that ho was studying where he! | was, just as hard as ho could in his chain ! bers. So lie was: studying the sweet face and pure mind of Mary Goring. i.l ~ i i n *itl JL ^iicmicu IIUW ik ?;i?, ajbs urnvch , Raid alterwards to me. "There were climb- | | ing* up the cliff*; and rambling* on the j ' beach, after mm shells, and readings in the i afternoon; and moonlight lingering* in tlm | garden in the evening; Mr. William could , j not quite deceive me. 1 was left to lake J care of Clara Elliot, while he talked scnli inent to Mary Goring." "Strolling on the beach together, and ^ balking sentiinonl by moonlight!'' I uttered iu dismay. "And you could see all this ^ going on, and never write to irud" ,, "It is the moonlight does it all," peevish- | |, ly retorted Miss Grave*; "sentimental strolls | ,,, would come to nothing without ib The! p noon puts more nonsense into young hea s ,j ?I)An all the novels that were eu-r written. t ,j I'll give you a:i example. One night they were all out in the garden, Mr. William, w Clara, and Miss Goring. A long, natron p strip of ground it was, at the hack of the w house, si retelling down nearly to the sea. Tea cjune in, and Lady Elliot called frour \ vv he window, but nobody answered, so I had j; m hunt ihcm up. J tied m v handkerchief I (j ovei luy head, for I had got a touch ol the I ,, toothache, and awav I went. An intensely i p hot mght it uas, with tlio moon as bright! as silver, and I loOkod here, and I looked j there, till I got to the end of the garden, | t; On the honcii there, fast asleep, with her I fj l ead resting oil the hard rock behind her. wa* Clara Elliot, and standing close by was ' l( William Elliot with his arm round Mary, sf both of them gazing at tfre moon.

As if, when she w saw these two growing fond of ench other,! she could not have dispatched a hint of il to me by postl "What could Lady Elliot | ?tl have been thinking of!" 1 inquired. |[ "Bleaa you, she saw nothing of il," ro- q, turned Mm Oravos.

The ane wviiltl he likely to have a dozen "at- i lachmenis," and forgot tl?em as soon as they were over; but the other, if sbe once > loved, would retain rhe traces for all her ' luluro life. It was of no use, however, say- 1 ng this to Miss Graves: she would not have ' understood me, and 1 was too vexod to wgue. Hesides, it would oot undo what s as done. I saw it as soon as Mary came home. 1 I'lteie was a change about tho girl: a serene ook of inward happiness, an absence of nind to what was <o>i:>g on around her, a j jiving away to dreamy li-llessnesa of bought. And when, in the course of conrelation, it came out that Mr. William Slliot had made one of the party at Spa, . uy surprised exclamation caused tho darn- J i-k flush in Mary's chock to change into dewing crimson. It is true Mary had, in >ne of her letters, mentioned Mr. William's lamo, but I never supposed lie was there 1 or more than a day or s<?: run down to see lis mother and sister, by, pohaps, an ux- i1 iiirsion train. So that suspicious crimson 1 on vi need me at mice: I wished it anywhere iut in Mary's face; and when Miss Graves ' mine to our house, a few lays subsequent 1 y, to spend an evening with us, I spoke to * icr about it, and hence the above con versa- . i ion. "You need not annoy yourself over it," J lersisted Miss Graves, who was anxious to sense herself. "If they did fall in love villi each other?which I dare say they <. lid, and I won't tell any story about it? t hoy will soon forget it, now they don't neet. If you keep her out of sight when | dr. William calls here, he'll soon cease t oming, and the affair will die a natural : leatb." "Of course Mary will not be permitted to ^ oe liini," I warmly rejoined; "but us to the n itfair dying out, that is another thing." J The crosses one's good resolutions meet c villi! The ruses young people are up to, j insuspected by old ones! Would anybody c ielicvo that at that very time, tho same j lentical hour, when I and Miss Graves ; rore in tiie drawing room, laving down so > loverly our plans for their separation, they | '] rcre together in the diuitig-parlor below t s!
