THE MOTHER'S PROPHECY. 1 r*i * ? BY A|flUi. JULIA O. It. DORl*. That same evening tfcer? was a olcar light gloamingirow^tftc window iy.Andrew Gordon's munsiou, usually occupied by himself. -He?its owuar-r$is?t there alone, with hie folded hands lying upon the table,ytfnJ lit?Ttcad tqfiVufe upoirTlicm. At leogth iiearoso, and an observer might have seen that there was a bright, xed spot upon cither check, while fcW orow was knit, and there was an unusual, almost an angry gleam iu his eyes. Stepping to the window and shading his eyes with his hands, he looked out for a moment, and then raisiug the sash, he called to a man who stood in the yard : "Jcrtm, tell my son to come hither." "Yes, sir," replied tho man, and Mr. Gordon returned to his seat by the table. A few moments had elapsed when Fredcrick entered. His father did not appear to notice his cutrancc, and after pausing awhile, the young man asked? "Did you send for ino, sir ?" "Yes," was .bis father's answer, as he pushed a chair toward, him with his foot, and motionod him to be S2atcd. "I have a few things to say to you, sir : I happened to be an eye-witness of the love sceno that took place in the woods, down yonder, this ovening. No, I was no spy or eaves dropper," he continued, as the color flashed to Fredcrick's face, and he half-rose from his chair : "You may as well keep ,cool, young man. I was passing near there, just as tho girl Was coming to her senses, and I could not well adveid seeing and hearing what passed. You were so takon up with her, that you had no cars for any ono besides, else you must have heard 1110. Permit mo to congratulate you," he added, with a mocking auiilo, "upon chhctiug the lover most admirably. May I bo allowed to inquire who was the Uir damsel who played Juliet to your Itomcor?y' "Lily (Jrey, sir," was tho laconic reply. "Lily iCfo^! \ And who, pray, is "She is a young lady from Massachusetts, 1 believe,^whgU?Y upending rtho last three mdnths'witn l>Ir. and !wrs. Mason.

Then Andrew Gordon rose, drew ft his chair nearer to his .ion's, and taking Y bis hand kindly in his owu, said? fi "I wish you to do as you choose, Froder- o ick?nil L bopc is that [ may induco you ti to choose wisely. Listeu to uic lor awhile, tl and seo if I do not present this matter bo- y fbro you iu a different aspect. I cauio here s; as you know, my son, wben this valley was c an unbroken wilderness, a poor man, poor h through the fraud and iujusticc of others ; si aud 1 at once resolved, more for your sake q than my own, to be rich. I toiled early s< and late ; I struggled iu tho oarly part of V my career, with hardships aud difficulties. But at length I was successful. My resour- u ces'are ample ; yours, I should have said, si but I cannot conscut that tho wealth, to 6 the au6uuQu)ation of which I have devoted v> all tlie bcstycaxs of lpy life, should go to b enrich a beggar. With your talents, your a: fioo pfcrsou, your graceful and winning ad- C dress, together with tho forluuc which 1 d had intended to place in your hands upon your next birth day, (to say nothing of y your expectations at v>y decease,) with all el these advantages, I say, you might select n a: wife from the highest and wealthiest faini- 1c ly iu tho land. There is a young girl, the y orhan daughter of one whom I knew iu uiv ii boyhood, whom I selected years ago as my it future daughter-in-law, llcr fortune must hi ' bo iuiuieuse, nud o^cry advantage that w wealth can give will bo lavished upon her. pi Sho is?let mc see?she is about fifteen w now, and is said to bo very beautiful.? w There is a clause in her father's will, I aui li told/ flAifc will provent her marrying before so she is t\venly-ouc. You have been long th wishing to make the tourof Europ, aud 1 tr was thinking, just previous to my unfortu- ai uatc discovery this afternoon, that it would be well for you to start immediately, spend af the next four years iu' traveling, and still at have a year or two at your disposal, after SI your return, to secure your success with b< her. Hut of course it is useless to say w any thing about it now. as you have made w your own choice." y< Mr. Gordou cease*}, and for a long time tr Frederick sutsiloutly revolving his lather's b< words in hi.s mind. Ho was not naturally tc the callous, cold-hearted boing which tho ly reader might judge him to be from tho si soliloquy wo overheard in the woods. His tc noblo and generous impulse, had for many S years given his father a deal of trouble, and m even yet, as we have seen from his couduct u this day, ho occasionally acted without any V regard to the "almighty dollar." Hut ol these instances had, of late, been rare.? b Andrew Gordon was gradually moulding sj hiui to his will, and even before receiving p; tho summons to his presence, this ovcuiug, the ctfcot of the lessons that ho had been tl takiug through his whole life was resuming n its sway, and Ambition or Avarice?call d itLv which ever name best pleases you, r.j wWbcgiiiniug to stiugglc with Love. fl "What is the name of the young lady of in whom you were speaking, sir V he fiually ol asked. tl ''Elizabeth Munro," was the reply, and tl again there wns a long pause. ai "Let me retire now, if you please," said a: Frederick, rising; "I would fain thiuk over tc this matter in my own room." ol "Thauk you?thank you, Frederick.? w That is spokcu like my own son," was Mr. ol O onion a answer, ns no coruiany shook c< his liand. "I have no fears that you will tl not gratify mo, if you will but yield to the n suggestions of your own good sense." S Frederick Gordon slept not that night, sr We will not attempt to follow the workings f? of his mind. Suffice it to say, that the u: next morning, with a pale cheek, but with c; a voice that did not falter, ho signified to tt hisdathcr bi?Toatl>ness-to adopt the plau w proposed by him the ^previous etening. tl "Then you must go at once, this ycry n diW/' si^id Mr. Gordon ;>'therc must be no tt time fbf foolish regrets and sentimental w nonsefto/'JTfyc'Ytf^iiia'Sails for EirtDpo 1> upon the 2Qth of next month, nnd this ?

When u sho entered the house, she did not, ns usual, c repair immediately to the common par- Ij lor or sitting room as it was called, but as- h ccnding the stairs she sought her own chain- u ber. Hastily throwing off hor bonnot, w sho approached the small mirorr, and slow- si ly removing tho haudkcrchicf which was lj fastened around hor temples, endeavored to f< ascertain tho cxtont of the injury she had it received. Sho found that it was nothing d but a tolerably deep incision, made, nppa- tl rcntly, by a very sharp stono. The bleed- tl ing had ceased, and she soon succeeded in c< closing tho wound by tho help of some nar- V row strips of plaster. o! She tofideated borself by the low win- e; dow, and.triod to recall the events of tho y day. Dear, Lily Grey! what a fount .of p deep, purel'eiriirislto, yet strange happiness o had welled up In her young heart sincfe sho ti went forth that summer afternoon upon her errand of mercv to old Mrs. Forster's tl cottage! Yet bright tear-drops were con- " tinually sparkling in her beautiful eyes, C and her hands trembled so that she could y scarcely smooth tho shining curls that fell without restraint upon her shoulder*. f< _Jfe V# JW* V For a' long timo she sat thcro by the >iudow ; darkness came on, but sbo heeded ; not; there was no darkness of the spirit ticro, and her heart was iiluuiiued in its inerqiofet recessby light from within, ght that do|taid?a not upon outward obsots?light clearer than that of the sun at oonday. ' Why, Lily,* dear!" exclaimed the cheeral voice of Mrs. Mason, " are you here? Ve thought you had not come iu yet; aud jaring you were lost or in some troublo or thor, George started in pursuit of you some me ago. And now, while ho is tramping tirough the woods in search of you, here ou uro, eusconccd in your own little room ifo as a saiut in her niche. But bless me, laid ! why, what a wound upon your forccaJ," and dropping the bantering tone lio had before used, and approaching uiekly to Lily's side, the good lady asked 3riously, "What ts tho matter, Lily??

"lWlly, quite n romantic adventure ou have had," said her aunt, as Lily conludcd her little story. "1 suppose that. 3 in duty hound, you intend falling in >vc with Mr. Gordon forthwith. I fancy our bright eves had done some mischief 1 that quarter already; aud now wouldn't bo funny if we should have a weddiug ere, eh, \i\\y V' And thus she rattled ou hilo they were descending the stairs, and roccediug to tho parlor whero tea was ailing, uevor oucc dreaming that there as anything like truth in her playful jest, ad sho done so she would havo been very riour, for she well knew it was uo light ling for a maiden to place that priceless easurc, her young heart's puro love, iu lother's keeping. liily escaped from the family circle soon tor tea that evening, under plea of fatigue ; id, iu truth, sho felt tho need of rest.? lio longed to be aloue with her uewly >rn happiness; to recall tho looks and ords that had so thrilled her heart.

The mist was rolling up from th lountains, but it lay heavily above the bed f the river, marking its windings as far as 10 eye could reach. It seemed to Lily :at earth was never so beautiful before; ad thero was melody in her youug heart i she stood by the open window, listcuing > the trilling of the birds, the low murmur f the water-fall, and all the sweet sounds ith which Nature welcomes the approach ft ho May god. When, her simple toilet juiplctod, she descencdcd to breakfast rat morning, old Mr. and Mrs. Mason otod with surprise her unwonted loveliness, he was, iudeed, as Frederick (jordou had lid, very lovely at all times; but now her ice was radieut with happiness?that lost efficacious of all cosmetics--nod her yes beamed with added lustre. Perhaps, ro, sho might havo arranged her dress ith rather more care than usual; for in rose priuiitivc days it was not considered cccssary to attend to the duties of the >ilot half-dozen times a day, uud Lily had hispcrcd to herself, "Frederick will surei be hero to day." Put the morning passed and no Frcdor:k appeared. Hour after hour of tho afjrnoou rolled away, and still he came not. ho listened with a beating heart to every pproaching footstep, and wondered what auld keep him from her side. At lcugth lie heard in the. distance tho sound of aproaching wheels. Sho looked from the indow aud saw Mr. Gordon's carriage lowly toiling up the hill, and, shrinking chind the curtain, she watched it as it reiy nearer *n'l nearer. Thcro was a figre upon the back scat, closely muffled in a loak, which did not seem to bo particularf needed at that season of tho year; and cr heart told her that it was tho figre of him for whom she had watched and aited through the day. But the noble Leeds halted not; tho carriage rolled slow f by, and tho muffled figure drew the )ldn of the mantle still more closely about ;, and shrank back still farther into its ark cornor. The young girl gazed upon lie vehicle until it faded from her sight j lien sinking back upon her soat she ovorcd her face with her hands.? Vheu she removed them, although her heek was pale as marble there was no othr sign of suffering. She could not^even et; doubt that tho mystory would bo exlaiued?perhaps after all it was not Fredrick, and with thn^thought her spirits reamed. Jnst at dusk Mr. Mason came in from ho village, and turning to Lily, said? Lily, why did you not tell us that Fred, lordon was to lenvo us to day 1" Of course oh knew, as you saw him yesterday ?" Lily was spared the necessity of replying )T her aunt immediately exclaimed?" 1 ?. "Fred Gordon loft us! where is he going, pray ?" "Why, ho goes to-night," was the reply, "in their own carriuge us l'ar as 1*?, uud froui that placo takes the stuge to morrow for New York. liis-fatho tolls uie that ho is to sail for Europo in tho 'Virginia next mouth, aud will probably reuiaiu four or livo years."

It was, as we have said, just at dusk, and with a dread foreboding of sho know not what evil, sho had glided to tho farthest corucr of the room, uud rcmaiued thre clfcctually concealed by tho gathering shadows. When the words that to her seemed tho death-knell of every hope were pronounced, she did not speak, she did not even sigh, but standiug motionless for a moment, with her eyes fixed wildly upon the speaker, sho threw her white arms oucc, twice convulsively, and thou sauk slowly to the floor?breathless and inanimate.?
