Flinging himself on a lounge ho continued in o stato of mental abstraction until tho rising sun Hooded tho earth with light and gladness. Ho sprang up, made u busty toilet, nnd closing thc door noiselessly, stepped out into tho morning air. What n chango had come over him in the course of a few hours. A hopeless look of despair had settled on his handsome countenance. It was n glorious morning; tho ground was carpeted with soft green moss, nbovo which buttercups and duisics reared tticir graceful heads; mild zcphyivt wero gently waving tho blossoms of tho clustering lilac to and fro. All seemed to make ono look from "naturo up to nature's Cod." But Lionel Was blind to tho beauties of thc scene, aud throwing himself on ono of tho benches at thc farther end of tho park, ihought of Isabel. That beloved name was forever sounding in his cars. Even tho Wind, as it softly fanned his heated brow, seemed to whisper "Isabel." How l?ng ho reclined lhere bc knew not, until ho wns startled by a merry, ringing laugh, which procoeded from the terrace steps, where stood Rosa Rivers, a perfect picture, with her broad garden hat flung carelessly across her arm, allowing tho sun to kiss her rosy cheek ond tho brcczo to play among her sunny curls. For a momontshc stood, then bounded away with Turk in dose pursuit. Lionel roso to watch tho graceful retreat ing form of thc child, and then leaving tho Purk, oro he was awaro of thc circumstance, found himself in tho wooded path lending to tho Manor. Ho resolved to go und hear Isabel's defense, at any rato. As ho conlinucd his solitary walk his mind became moro calm, ami ho thought only of tho pleasure of seeing her. Occu pied with this ?dca, a bend in tho path brought him in front of tho houso, before which stood ti huodsomo equipage. Ho was wondering who could havo ottllcd at that unusual hour, when happening to glance up nt tho balcony, ho was inclined to doubt his own identity, for there stood Isa bel and Maj. Elliott, in tho vory spot whoro Isabel ond himself had so often held a lover's tele, a toto. Her baok was turned toward him, so ho could not catch a glimpso of hor taco, but tho dctestod, yet undeniably fino fcaturos of Charles Elliott were distinctly visible. Ho also perceived that Maj. Elliott, nt least, was awaro of his presence, although Isabel was perfectly unconscious. Ho was turning away, heart-siokened ct thc sight, wheu Elliott, giving him u look of triumph, flung his arms around Isubcl and clasped hor to his heurt. Lionel waited to seo uo moro, but grind ing his heel into tho earth, bo turned hastily away, blinded with passion, not knowing or caring whither ho went. Thus he left tho woman upon whom all his hopes of happiucss wore centered. Tho sun seemed to huvo lost its brilliancy, thc very onrth appeared to ho whirling around in mad confusion. Ho determined to travel iu foreign lands, to leuvo Winchester, never to return. (Ju returning to thc Park, ho was met nt tho hall door by Rosa, who eagerly caught hold of his hand, and leading bim into thc library, scated herself on nu ottoman at bis feet. Looking up into his faco with her expressive hazel eye, she said: "Cousin, say that you arc not going away; Caleb says that you have ordered tho Barri ngo and mean to leave us, and uro not coming buck for ever so long." "And will you really miss me, Rosie?" ho asked ns ho smoothed back tho tangled meshes from her sun-burned fuco. "Well, Rose, I am glad lhere is one little girl in this world who loves mo. Rut hero is Caleb, who has come to tell mo that every thing is ready." "Mrs. Cameron Bays sho would Uko to bid you good-bye, but is suffering from asevero headache, and has net yet orison," said Chrisholm. Rut you must toko somo re freshments before you leave," she added, opening thc dining room door and display ing to view a tempting breakfast Ile hastily swallowed a cup ot chocolate, and soon niter entering tho vehicle was lost to sight, leaving behind him thc soeuo of all his joys und wretchedness. And what wcro thc thoughts of Adeluido Cameron ou hearing of Lionel's departure? Stern woman of tho world ns sho was, she could not bear to soo thc beggared counte nance which sho knew would greet her. Sho struiucd her car lo cntch the last sound of tho carriage wheels, and then consulted her mirror. "Why was she not deserving of his affection? was sho not beautiful?1' nnd she drew up her slight figuro to ita full height. Why should he scorn her love, and bestow his heart on a penniless girl of seventeon? "Alli if ho but kuew, it ie not tho head, but thc heart that aches," sho said, in a tono of excessive bitterness, as a s?ont tear stole down her check. CHAPTER III. "Obi tho henri lhat bas truly loved, never forgets, But ns truly loves on to thc closo." Threo months hud passed away since Lio ncl St. Clair left Winchester, when ono evening on returning home from a stroll with Ethel, Isabel was sadly thinking over thc past, a servant from ibo Manor caine running iu breathless huste to tell her that Mr. Belmont had fallen down in an npoplctio li', and had just breathed his last. Thc kind old pastor took Isabel immcdi otcly to his home where wc now find her in tho cosy viearago library. What a home look the scene presented. A bright fire was glowing on tho hearth beforo which sat thc pastor deeply engaged in reading, while by hi? side wr.s Ethel, busily plying her needle. Near tho window sat Isabel, perusing with great interest tho contents of a letter received by tdic evening post. Thus on hour glides swiftly by. Tho letter lay open in Isabol's lap, while sho peered intently into tho gathering darkness. Thc landscapo was exceedingly gloomy, for summer lind Ued, and "All day tho wind bad howled along tho leas, All day thc wind had swept across tho plain, All day on rustling grass and waving trees Had fallen thc useful troubla of the rain; All day behcath Ibo low.hung, droary sky, Tho dripping earth had cowered sullenly." At length sho drew her scat near to the lire, and placing thc letter in her friend's hand, said. "Read this, dear Ethel, then tell mo what you think of it." Thc puzzled fuoc of Ethel was changed to ono of blank amazement ns sho scanned, with troubled glance, tho contents of the letter. Then, letting it fall to tho ground, she clasped Isabel's hand, nnd looking up into her face with that pleading expression of her violet eyes which few could resist, said: "Darling Belle, what docs it all mean? I thought you were my sister. You canuot bo going to leavo us?" "What!" exclaimed Mr. Arlington, in a tone of grioved surprise, us ho put down bis book and wiped his glasses, for they had suddenly became dim. Por a moment Isabel could scarcely re strain her emotion, but forcing back tho tears which wcro fust flowing, she replied: "Sad ns it is to leavo my friends, I feel that I cnn no longer trespass upon their kindness und hospitality. Having seen an advertisement 1 applied for tho situation of governess, and have this evening received a reply stating that 1 must tuko my departure in less thu n a week, for London." "And must I loso my daughter?" tho old man said, ns ho laid his bond affection ately on Isabel's shoulder, Sho could make no response, but only by ono her tours dropped on tho blond tresses of Ethel, who was kneeling at hor side sob bing bitterly. Sorry ns thoy were to part with Isabel, they could bub admiro her independent spirit, and although Ethel tried every per suasion, she resolved not to bo n burthen to her friends, but to leave on Monday for tho metropolis. Tho timo passed heavily by until tho day of Isabel's departure. Hers was nota na turo to shrink from what sho considered hor duty, but having spent tho greater port of hoi* lifo in tho cc un try, sho dreuded going among strangers, i low would they receive her? was tho question sho asked herself os, after tho lost farewell was given, she stepped into tho hackney coach that wus to convey her to her destination. She had tried to be cheerful whilo ut the vicarage for her friendu's sake, but now suoh un utter feeling of desolation nroso in her heurt that her long pent up emotion burst forth, and draw ing her veil over her face that her fellow passengers might not behold her grief, sho gave vent tonn unoontrolablo fit of weeping. '.O Lionel! Lionel!" was tho cry that burst from her overburdened heart, "what havo I done to deservo such cruel treat ment?" , "lie you goin' to Lun'uu, miss?" said a voice close to her ear. Sho quickly rinsed her veil to seo who had addressed her. Thc inquiry had doubt less proceeded from her next neighbor, an inoffensive looking old man who wus quietly munching an npplu. Sho could not help smiling nt his quaint .appearance and curious pronunciation, ns sho answered in tho affirm ative '.You nron't iu no trouble, bc you?" ho queried, ns he noticed thc truces of tours. "No, my good mun; none in which you could tender tuc any service." This silenced him for some time, and she was glad to bu left to her owu thoughts. Presently she was startled by tho voioo of tho kind-hearted but pestiferous old man, who exclaimed, in tones so loud thnt it brought Isabel under the uotioc of tho other occupants of tho coach. "No offence, miss, but 'pon honor, you're purty." He toro Isabel could collect her thoughts as to how she should roceive thia embarras sing compliment, the coach stopped, and the old rustic, flinging away tho coro of his apple and giving her a look of intenso admiration, hobbled out, aud tho clumsy vehicle rolled on. Isabel drow hor traveling shawl closer around her, for tho wind which blew in fitful gusts niaile ll Ol' feel chilly and uncom fortable. Her mind being too muon preoc cupied for reading, she tried to amuse her self observing her truvcling companions. A red faced woman on tho opposite soul wus snorting most loudly, to thc amusement of two yduhg school girls, who appcarod to bc going homo? for vacation, judging from their happy voices and merry faces. Attracted by thc lovely countenance and engaging munucr of our heroine, they were soon con versing gaily with ber. Suddenly the coach guvo a lunge, whioh caused thc sleeper opposite to awake and clusp her huge blue cotton umbrella (which, by thc way, seemed to bo her principal luggage),) in u tight embrace, ns if she feared to lose it. This occasioned a fresh burst of merriment on tho part of Lily and Dora (for these were their respective names), and even thc sud face of Isabel was illuminated by a smile, of the now i ra to dunc, casting n look of defiance ut her laughing oflenders, readjusted her bonnet and relapsed into si uni ber. Isabel's companions got off nt tho next station, nud thus being alone, her thoughts flew back to Winchester, to Ethel und the venerable pastor, to Lionel und thc pleasant hours they had passed together, mid as tho image of one person crossed her mind, tlie only ono towurds whom tho feeling of hatred had ever rankled in her breast, she placed her bund on her heart us if lo keep down her vindictivo feelings and rising indignation. Arrived nt London, isabel slopped into a handsome ourringo which she was told awaited "thc pleasure of Miss D'Arcy." It was not long before they slopped at a house which, although it wus twilight, she could sec Was spacious and elegant, and tho oivii coachman, throwing open tho oarriugo door, said: "This is Col. Dayton's, miss." She ascended the broad marble stair, and was met ut tho door by thc lady of the house, herself, who received with open ?rms thc forloiMi young Strungor, and taking the icc cold bund in both her own, kind Mrs. Dayton lcd her into a handsomely furnished apartment, where sho herself removed her cloak and other wrappings. To be treated with such unexpected con sideration brought tears to Isabel's eyes, as, with sudden impulse, she seized tho soft white hand whioh wus then untying tho string to her traveling hut, und kissed it fer vont ly. "I trust you will find your new homo n happy one, my dear," was tho reply to this mute acknowledgment, us she smootcd thc glossy ruveu braids, and gazing into tho sweet fuco said, "but I must introduooyou to your futuro pupils." So saying, sho led tho way to tho children's upartmouls. CI I APT IC lt IV. "'lim shaken I roo prows firmer nt tho roots; So love grows firmer for some blasts of doubt." A year had rolled round sinoo Isabel lind left our friends nt Winchester, mid beaute ous spring onco moro woko tho earth to gladness, while thc rcotory was a oleisnnt sight to behold, with its verdant meadow und blooming garden. The wild roses peeped timidly forth from tho hedges, while thc clematis und honey suck le clambered on tho wall and piuyoJ hide and sock in at every window? "Clad butterflies wcro flitting gaily through thc air, Mich flowers hold np thoir nectaries, und O?fot incens? rare, Thc (oiling bee hums cheerily, tho gnats dunce in tho sun, Thc very frogs croak gleefully, o'er spring tide lift begun." Tho old Manor hud been repaired and was to bo let, and ou this sunny ?Muy morning Ethel and Hurry (for ho had como back to claim his bride) proposed a ride over to tho Munor. Tho houris of tho lovers wcro us gav as tho feathered songsters which soured ubove them us they cuntcrcd merrily along, Ethel caroling forth joyously, whilo proud Hurry rode by ber side, thinking her more lovely than ever; and she ccrtuiuly looked charming, scated gracefully upou her littlo Shetland pony, her riding habit, of durk grey cloth lilting well her small figure, while her golden ringlets escaping from tho comb which confined thom, danced iu the sunlight, and her violet blue eye beamed with happiness from beneath tho little jaunty straw hat willoh sho wore. Tho Munor was reached at Inst, although it would havo tuleen aught but lovers u much shorter space of time to arrive at their destination. After dismounting, Hurry amused himself by taking tv stroll over tho grounds, while Ethel weut in to speak with tho old housekeeper, who gave her an open and apparently unfinished letter, which sho suid she hud found in tho sleeping apiut ment of tho lalo Mr. Belmont. Ethel, seeing that it hud uo direction, and thinking that it might prove of importunoo to her friend, sat down to read it. It rau thus: "I, Ilonry Belmont, feeling that my days aro numbered, wish you to know, Lionel St. Clair, thc cruel injustice I ouuscd to be committed against you aud my wurd, isabel D'Arcy. Although you saw mo not, 1 was a witucss of tho interview which took placo between Isabel und Maj. Elliott. 1 confess to ?laving gambled with him to such an extent that I found it almost impossible to pay him, when he mudo mc thc startling yet nevertheless pleasing propo3ul, that if 1 would uiako interest for him with my beau tiful ward, for whom ho expressed great uilmiration, ho would cancel tho debt. "lt is needless to say that ho persecuted her with his attentions. Not ull her scoru could drivo him from her side. I saw from thc first that her heart was yours, and knew that our vile scheme would prove a failure. She very seldom saw him, although ho visited hero frequently, for on bearing his footstep she would flee liko 3omc hunted thiug to her own room and look herself in. On that eventful morning he had stolen up on hor unexpectedly whilo she was watering her plants on tho balcony. When finding retreat impossible, she told him of her engagement to you, and whon ho persisted in proffering bia suit, nbc avowed her hatred of him, and suid that if ho did not with draw his insolent uttoutions, she would call you to her aid. "I was iu my apartment, that opens on thc balcony, and could seo tho speakers distinctly through thc parted curtains. I watched your fuco when you perceived them together, hud to my dying day I never shall forgive myself for not having given an ex plauation when I knew tho anguish I occa sioned two constant heurts. You turned away or you would havo seen with what loathing she burst from him, uud I could hear her agonizing sobs as she fled along thc corridor. My feelings were touched, and I could bear it no longer. I rushed out and asking Elliott into thc room, I signed a paper giving him every oout I possessed, besides some of my personals, and bude him never darken my doors again. Eolievo nie, Lioucl St. Clair, she is a nolle girl, mid worthy of your affection. lt was dated thc day of the old mau's death. Ethel hastily couecaled thc letter as she saw Harry returning. The young man noted thc flush of joy on her cheek ns ho took ihc smull gloved hand and lilied her upon her pony, but glad to see her happy ho forbore to ask questions. On reaching homo Ethel hustoncd to her father, and learning Lionel's direction, she enclosed the precious document immediately, then wrote a long and affectionate letter to Isabel, telling her that she was to bo married within a week, but did not mention tho discovery sho hud made, so that thc surplis j might be ull tho greater. lt wu3 Monday morning in tho busy world of London, and wo lind Isabel in tho school room giving a music lessou to her youngest pupil, tho pet of thc household, and tho especial favorito of lsnbel. This tusk was generally a pleasure lo both toucher and soho)ar, for Emma, though wilful, was warmhearted mid nffootion&tc, nnd had a line car for music, and as she looked upon ".Miss Isabel" us a superior being, they were fast friends. lu fact, Isabel wus beloved by nil who knew her, und though her young lifo hud been very much sad dened of Into, surrounded by many friends, ns sho now was, she could tot liolp regain ing her former cheerfulness. The lesson finished she turned hor atten tion to rectify tho crooked lines in Hlnnoho'fl drawing. Tho subject was nu Italian imago vender, ?nd though possessing much talent for tho url, the littlo girl's picture wus not altogether correct, nnd Isabel, cf? fucing tho lines, began to form them nnow. As her pencil glided over thc paper she remembered that ibis was tho anniver sary of tho day that Lionel St. Clair had left so abruptly without ono word of fare well. She wus fast falling into a reverie when the merry voico of her pupil urousci her: "Oh! Miss Isabel, how much handsome! your picture is than thc copy." She blushed deeply ns glancing down n thc drawing she held in lier bund, sh found that sho hud unconsciously tr.icci the liniments of Lionel St. Clair. Tho tasks of tho day being ended, sh was about to relire to her own room, who 'u servant appeared und handed her a cur upon whioh wus written tho name of Lionel ?St. Cluir! Sl?c was obliged to g?usp tho door knob to koop from falling, so ovcrooiuo was she by conflicting emoli?os. Whil? sho was debating with herself whether sho should grunt him un interview or not, ho was pacing the drawing room iii a state of uncontrollable agitation. ..O Adelaide, it is hard to forgive ycu for tho wrong you havo inflicted," ho ex? claimed, when tho door slowly opened and Isabel stood before him. Ho was fairly dazzled by tho vision of loveliness that met his gaze. Ile hud thought her beautiful ns n'girl, but now much more so when womanly dignity was added to her other charms! '.Miss D'Arcy! Isibc'I" ho stammered, ns ho .sprang forward to meet her. lier manner wus distant and haughty nfc first, but when he hud explained al), and noticing his careworn fuco ns he said: "O Belle, you know not what I huvc euflcrcd, or you could not turn away thus coldly. Ah! whnt would I not give to regain this little bund!" her heart relented and hiding hr.r blushing, happy face on his shoulder, she murmured softly, "lt is freely yours. Thc lovers were even happier now than iu duys gone by, for they hud felt tho pangs of separation. As Lioucl wished to claim his new-found treasure ns soon ns possible, he pleaded for an early marriage. Ho called again in tito evening nod Isabel introduced bini to tho family, who could not fail to bc pleased with tho polished manner and noble bearing of tho huudsoino young .stranger, and they spent an exceed ingly pleasant evening. Isabel mudo Mrs. Dayton acquainted -. with her whole history from beginning to end, and this kind lady, who looked upon Isabel as un elder daughter, begged if if there were any distant friends whom tho young ooupie would like to be present at their nuptial.;, they should bc immediately sent for, nud Isabel, overjoyed at tho privi lege, wrote for Ethel and Hurry, who had beon married but a short time. Tho days sped rapidly by, tho young couple duly arrived, und Isabel and Ethel bad much to sny to each other after so long a separation, while tho young men soomcd to bo kindred spirits. Lionel had decided upon taking his bride ou a tour through the principal countries of Europe, nud he sucoccdcd in persuading Harry and his young wife to accompany them. 1 s abel's oup of happiness was lilied to overflowing by tho intelligence that her beloved friend was to bo tho companion of hor travels. Adelaide Cameron, li riding all hopo regard ing Lionel St. Clair to be at au end l al married Maj. Elliott and gono to reside ii Paris, the city best suited to their tastes. Mr. Arlington having taken a funcy to Ho3u Rivers, her aunt gladly relinquished her ohargo, and thenceforth sho became tho adopted daughter of tho pastor, who folt the preseucc of this attractive little girl soiiio compensation for thc departure of Iiis darling Ethel. In tho meantime, thc quiet and unosten tatious marriago of Isabel D'Arcy and Lionel St. Clair look place, mid the nffoct ionato farewell between Isabel and Colonel "Dayton's family having been taken, tho youthful couples started on their wedding tour with Q3 happy hearts as ever bent? within human bosoms. (TUE END ) TiIE PAM. OP GOLD.-A New York letter ol' Monday says: "When gold struck 101 to-day, un offer to buy *250,000 nt tho ([notation was made but not taken. Small lofs were obtainable, but not largo ones. Still Inter 100 15-10 was accepted for moderate amounts, but ibo moio general' quotation was 1. Tho trouble with tho market is, there is too much coin for tho demand, nnd hence, like nny other article of merchandise, (for gold is such so long as it commands any premium nt all,) io fills from absence of demand. The Wat ll? ingtoti opinion that silver will soon declino is not shared herc. Germany will soon bo' out of the market asa seller of silver, nnd this should stiffen silver here mid elsewhere When she began to sell her $300,000,000 the price diooped by degrees 10 per cent., but it has since regained ci per cent, of tho loss as her supply neared toward exhaustions Thc fi orinan Government, has yet on bund (supposed) nbout $75,000,000, but S27, 000,00 of this goes to llussia for purpose? of small coinage" Poa TUE GRANGERS.-A granger dreamed that be died, und wont straight to the sp'nit world; he knocked at tho gate cf Jerusalem and it was opened unto him.
