Across the grassy holds he-went, I saw his curls a bobbin', This bold unfeeling warrior, bent On shooting poor cock-robin. Cock-robin sat upon a tree, llis eyes were bright and saucy, In truth a honny bird was he, W ith scarlet dress so glusssy. ile sang a song for very joy, That set his heart a throbbin'; "Oh, ho upon you, naughty boy, To want to shoot cock-robin ?" "Ifa !" says the boy, "the game I spy !" (lie raised his how and arrow,) "Oh, won't you make a jolly pie? We'll eat you up to-morrow !" l!ut robin snug so loud ami clear, And trilling his lay so sweetly, That naughty boy just slopped to hear And lost his heart completely. Down on the gross the arrow fell, The how came tumbling after, And robin knew it very well And sang and shook with laughter.

Ho?its owner?sat there alone. with his folded hands lying upion the table/ nnd his head resting upon' Ilium. At length he arose, and an observer might have seen that there was a bright, red spot upon either check, while his brow was knit, and there was ail unusual, almost au angry gleam in his eyes. Stepping to the window and shading his eyes with bis hands, he looked out for a moment, and then raising the sash, he called to a man who stood in the yard : ".lohn, toll my sm to come hither." ' Yes, sir," replied the man, and Mr. Gordon returned to his seat by the table. A few moments had elapsed when Frederick entered. His father did not appear to notice his entrance, and alter pausing awhile, the young man asked? "Did you send for mo. sir?" "Yes," was .his father's answer, as he pushed a chair toward, him with his foot, and motioned him to be slated. "1 have a few things to say to you. sir : I happened to he an oyo-witness of the love-scene that look place in the woods, down yonder, this evening. No, 1 was tio spy > r eaves dropper," he continued, as the color flashed to Frederick's face, and he hall'-ro>e from his chair : "You may as well keep .cool, young man. I was passing near there, just as the girl was coming to her senses, and I Could not well udvoid seeing and hearing what passed. You were so taken up with her. that you had no ears for any one besides, else you must have licanl 1110. I'ermit t:ic to congratulate you," lie added, with a mcx-kin.i* smile, '"upon enacting the lever most admirably.

"She is a voung lady from Massachusetts, 1 believe, wlie h ie been .spending the last three mouths with Mr. and Mrs. Mason. I presume she is a niece of theirs, as she calls tie in uncle and aunt." "Poor as a church mouse, then, of course," said Mr. Oorilou, quickly. 4 Frederick, do you love this girl ,,Vcs, sir." "And have heen foolish enough to tell her so, L concluded, as 1 had the pleasure of hearing the declaration a little while ago." 41 Yes, sir." 44Well, sir, let mc tell you, once for all, that this foolery must have an cml. J can never receive Miss Lily CJrcy as my daughter-in-law." 4,l have inherited so much of my father's meek and docile disposition," said the young man proudly, with an ironical smile eurlirig. bis lip,''that bftliall doubtless be lead -* - ?m > iii i1 . . i. :ih 7i l.mib in this omttor.

There was silonco between the two for many minutes, but they sat looking in each other's eyes as it' reading the soul there. Then Audrew Gordon rose, drew his chair nearer to his son's, and taking his hand kindly in his own, said? ' I wish you to do as you choose, Frederick?all L hope is that I may induce you to ehoo.se wisely. LUten to me lor awhile, and see if 1 do nut present this matter before you in a different aspect. I eaino here as you know, my son, wheu this valley was an unbroken wilderness, a poor man. poor through the fraud and injustice of others ; and 1 at once resolved, more for your sake than tny own, to bo rich. L toiled early and late ; I struggled in the early part of my career, with hardships and difficulties. 13ut at length I was successful. My resources'are ample ; yours, L should have said, but T cannot consent that tlie wealth, to the accumulation of which I have devoted all the best years of uiy life, should go to enrich a beggar. With your talents, your line person, your graceful and winning address, together with the fortune which I had intended to place in your hands upon your next birth day, (to say nothing of your expectations at uiy decease,) with all these advantages, I say. you might select a wife from the highest and wealthiest family in the land. There is a young girl, the orhan daughter of one whom I knew in my boyhood, whom 1 selected years ago as my future daughter-in-law, Her fortune must be iuuneuse, and every advantage that wealth can give will be lavished upon her. She is?let me see?she is about fifteen now, and is said to he very beautiful.? There is a clause in her father's will, I am told, that will prevent her marrying before she is twenty-uue. You have been long wishing to make the tour of Kurop, and I was thinking, just previous to my unfortunate discovery this afternoon, that it would he well for you to start immediately, spend the next four years in traveling, and still have a year or two at your disposal, after your return, to secure your success with her. 1 >ul of course it is useless to say any thing about it now. as you have made your own choice." Mr. ijordon ceased, and for a long time n.L- ?2.?# uiliiiilltr imuoliMinr l*i< I'll words iii liis mind. lie was not naturally tho callous, c<-1-1 hearted being which the reader might judge liini to be from the solil-Mjuy we overheard in the woods. His noble and generous impulse, had lor many years given bis lather a deal of trouble, and even yet, as we have seen lrotn bis conduct this day, be occasionally acted without any regard to the ' almighty dollar." Kul these instances had. of late, been rare.? Andrew Gor-lon was gradually moulding him to his will, and even belbro receiving the summons to bis presence this evening, the effect of the lessons that he had been taking thr-ugh bis whole life was resuming its sway, and Ambition or Avarice?eali it^y which ever name best pleases you, wWbegiiining to st niggle with Love. "What is the name of the young lady ol whom you were speaking, sir he finally asked. "Kli/.abcth Munro," was the reply, and again there was a long pause. ' Let me retire now, it' you please," said Frederick, rising; "i would fain think over this matter in my own room." "Thank you?thank you, Frederick.? j That is spoken like my own son." was Mr. | Gordon's answer, as ho cordially shook his hand. '*1 have no fears that you will ' not gratify mo, if you will but yield to the I suggest ions of your own go?ul sense." Frederick tlord-Hi slept not that night. We wiil not attempt to follow tin- working's of his mind. SuHioo it to say, that the next in- ruing, with a pale cheek, but with a voice that did not falter, he signified t-> his lather his readine-s to adopt the plan propose-1 by him the previous evening. "Then you must go at once, this very -lay." said Mr. Gordon ; ' there must be no i time for foolish regrets and sentimental r.o . fi 'Virirmi-i' Qnil.q fur Ihiirmio upon the 20th i>f next ui<>utli, ami this ? , yes, thi$ is tho 17th.

She thei^eated herself l>y the low window, and tried to recall the events of the day. Dear Lily (irey! what a fount of deep. pure, ex<|ui-ito, y. t strange happiness had welled up in her youui* heart sineo she went forth that summer afternoon upon her erratul of nierey to old Mrs. burster's e >tt iL't! !

' Why, Lily, dear!" exclaimed the cheerful voice of Mrs. Mason, " are you here t We thought you had not come in yet; and fearing you were lost or in some trouble or other, George started in pursuit ol you some time ago. And now, while he is tramping through the woods in search of you, here you are, ensconced in your own little room safe as a saint in her niche. i>ut bless me, child ! why, what a wound upon your forchea 1," and dropping the bantering tone she had before used, and approaching : (juickly to Lily's side, the good lady asked seriously, l,Wh;.t <"s the matter, Lily?? \\ hut has liapcncd "There is nothing of consequence the mutter now," replied liily, and she rapidly sketched the occurrences of the after noon. She did not think it necessary to tell the whole story, and was thankful that the blush she felt rising to her very forehead, us she mentioned the name of Frederick Flordou, was concealed by the iucrousig darkness. ' li"a!ly, quite a romantic adventure yoil have had," said her aunt, as Liiy concluded her little story. "1 suppos: that, as in duty bound, you intend falling in love with Mr. (.iordon forthwith. I fancy 1 your bright eves had done some mischief i in that quarter already; and now wouldn't | it bo funny if we should have a wedding j here, eh, Lily And thus she rattled on ! while they were descending the stairs, and I proceeding to the parlor where tea was wailing, never once dreaming that there ; was anything like truth in her playful jest. Had she douo so she would have been very i serious, for she well knew it was no light | thing for a maiden to place that priceless t treasure, her young heart's pure love, in | another's keeping. Lily escaped from the family circle soon | after tea that evening, under plea of fatigue ; I and, in truth, she felt the need of rest.? She longed to be alone with her newly , born happiness; to recall the looks and : words that had so thrilled her heart. She was young, very young, almost a child in years; and she had not learned that the treasure she had found that day was one to : be received with fear and trembling. She j took the angel guest to her bosom, tearful| ly, it is true, but oh ! most joyfully ; and | she lay down upon her couch that night I to dream only of long, long days of bliss.? .She knew, indeed, that something of sorrow must fall to the lot of mortals : but would , not even that be sweet if shared with him .'

How bright and beautiful was every ; thing in the outer world when Lily awoke next morning! There had been a sho.ver d tring the uigt. and a thousand gems were , | sparkling upon every tree and shrub and llower. The mist was rolling up from th T mountains, but it lay heavily above the bed of the river, marking its windings as far as , the eye could reach. It seemed to Idly that earth was never so beautiful before; j and there was melody in her young heart as she stood by the open window, listening to the trilling of the birds, the low murmur ! of th water-lal'. and all the sweet sounds with whieh Nature welcomes the approach of the May god. When, her simple toilet 'completed, she desceiieded to breakfast that in.oiling, old Mr. and Mrs. Mason noted with surprise h r uiiwont d loveliness. She was. indeed, as Frederick (jordou had said, very lovely at all times; but now her j i ice wis r.dient with happiness?that 1 most efficacious ot all C1 .-luetics?and her eye. beamed with added lustre. I'crhaos, l >i>. she might have arranged In r dress , with ratlur more care titan ttstiil; f .r in j those primitive dtivs it was nut considered neces-ary to attend to the duties of the toilet half'-d zon times a day. and Lily had wltispcred to herself, " Frederick will surely bo hero to day." Hut the m riling passed and no Frederick anneatvd. Hour alter In ur of the af icrnomi rolled away, and still ho came not. She listened with a heating heart to every approaching footstep, and Wondered what J e v.!d keep him from her s: le. At length ! she heard in the distance the sound of approaching wheels. She looked from the window and saw Mr. flordon's carriage i slowly toiling up the hill, and, shrinking h'diin I the curt tin, she watched it as it drew nearer hii 1 nearer. There was a lignro upon the luck seat, closely luutlled in a cloak, which did not seem to he particularly needed at thats asun of the year; and her heart told Iter that it was the figure of' him for whom she had watched and ' waited through the day. I Jut the noble I steeds halted not; the carriage rolled slow ly by, and the muflled figure drew the folds of the mantle st ill more closely about it. and shrank back still farther into ifs dark corner.
