Look deeper still ! If thou canst feel, Within thy inmost soul, That thou hast kept a portion back, While I have staked the whole; Let r:o false pity ?.parc thc blow, But In true mercy tell mo so. Is thcte within thy heart a neod That minn cannot fulfill ? One chord that any other hand Could better wake or still ? Speak now-lest at some future day My whole life wither and decay ! Lives there within thy nature hid Thc demon spirit Change, Shedding a passing glory still On nil thinjift now and strange ? Il may not be thy fault alone But shield my heart against thy own ! Conldst thou withdraw thy band one da; And answer to my claim, That Fate, and thati?fcday's mistako Kot thou-had breTto blame? Some sooth thoirconscionce thus ; but tl 0, surely, thou wilt warn mo now! Nay answer not-I dare net boar !

W'bep he went away see said n little prayer thanking God in it. for making hc-r so happy. Then she slept nil night, dreaming Sf only pleasant-sights nv.d- soundsyaud awaked, thc first day of May, to a tragedy. Shame and sorrow had knocked-at her door at last, and had come in. She found on her plate, nt breakfast, a note iu her father's writing, which she opened care ludsly enough, thanking he had written it lo tull her that he was called away from horne on s ?md unexpected bittiness. She wa* used 10 such attentions fit.m him, for her motlier was'dead, and bc und she were alone in thc world. Hut an awfijl chanqc came over br r faco as she read. It ?cerned lo her as it" she were turning to stone. For this was nu ordi nary absence. Her father was pone, not for a day, or a wrck ; gone into hiding, hover to conic back. He was thc president of thc lit tlc country bank lhere in Byefield; and hith erto no name iu town or country had "stood 11 gher than that of Jared Cromyn. Kvery one had thought him so good andso sure that, to his private caye, widows and orphans had intrusted their ail, never dreaming of asking olher security than his carob. And now, it seemed, all that had been intrusted to bim was swallowed np in some awful vortex. He wiotc to littcia, iu a sort of passionate des pair, that he was ruined. He had used these private funds in some speculations of his own -bubbles which had buist, and loft him no resource but a flight, which he would not, could not, ask hor to 6hare. The kindest thing"he could do for her would be, he felt, just to take himself out of her way. She read the words over and over again ; slanned by them al first, their meanies grow ing upon her by degrees, till r.he came face to lace with awful certainty. All her world lay in ruins about ber; brr sun bad set ; her star fallen from Heaven. Y.'bat should she do ? In this crisis the real strength of her nature came out. She did not sit down to mourn, fche put on bur things and went straight to a lawyer, in whom thc knew it would be safe to confide-asomewbat younger man than her father, but his iirme-'t friend. She handed him thc lotter, aud waited till ho had read it through. Then she asked, with a calmness of voice and manner which sur prised SquireEitabrook into admiration o? her, ,s Did you know about ii before ?" . " Nut a word.:) " Ja ?here anything that can bo dono V . " I Us possible there may be au effort to pursue ?nd fina bim. I should think not, however^.. They could do him no harm.

Four weeks after that she sat dawn alono in her room-t little room, which she had hired in thc house of a kindly, good lempOred neigh bor. whom she could trim, t i be neither intru sive cr unfeeling, and set herself to look h' r new life m thc face. Father, lorvr, home, bright dreams, happy spring-;ime of youth nil were (.'one. At eighteen sim wasAltteriy alone in the world-alone, aodjwijth fer own way lo make. She reviewed her rcsottrees, and found only ber need?e, that one bright, tiny shaft, with which*to ii^'aL her world's battle. She bad iriven upai!-no^ she had only to go on ! Was it so eisy to do right, to bo good, to live a true life, as she n*ed to think ? How far back in thc pas: I hat- " used to" seemed. A fee?tig of utter .desolation; against which she had struggled successfully before, overcame ber now, aud she bur?t inlo a passion of bitter tears. The nex| morning found her feverish and almost, ill, but she tvould nof. give un. To her brave, resilient nature, work, she felt)? would be tito best medicine. And she was not long j in iiniing il. She developed as genuine a talent, for needle work 113 some other women have shown for art ; and before six months had passed no wardrobe in Byefield was 0011 sidered fashionably complete ibat was not of her dtsigring. She took up her burden so bravely and cheerfully that no one thought of pity, or guessed that she needed it: Nor, after that first uight in ber new homo, did she ever stop lo pity horsilf. She nut Charley Frye uow and ?hen, ,and _ alwa3;s frankly and cordially ; Vat he rather ! avoided such meetings when it was possible. I thiiik there was a look in her own clear eyes which made him asbumed of his own worldli ness. Whatever his emotions werc, Lucia, at any rate, had ceased lo concern herself with them, lier trouble was a stepping stone upon which she mounted from girlhood inlo woman hood ; and it would have taken something more lhau a silky mustache, and a gallant air to have troubled her strong, true heart now.

He was a Ken I tuckian, but he 'had endeared himself to the Texaus by resigning his commission in the United States service, in 1831, and entering that ot' the Republic-having been the Adju tant General and the senior Brigadier Gene nd of ita army, subsequently ila Secretary of War, then, before returning to the regular army,, the colonel, of its. iiret regimeut raised for our war against Mexico, and lastly, its champion in the attempt at, secession. The people of thc South had the same regard for him that they now have for all their public men who led them in support of the cause ; for which he died. They will always enter tain that feeling, and their children alter them for generations will have it imbued in them. Individual' treason, which proceeds from a I base motive, can be made odious ; but tho collective treason of compact millions, occu pying a vast section of country, with all the elements of empire in and about thom, and wao simply seek to assert the theory ol' self government, for themselves to bo found in thc Confederate Constitution, leaving other simi larly situated p3oplc to govern fllcaiselves in their own way, can never be made odious newer*.
