VAUGHN. ?i -:o; Notlimg touoT Nothing to amuse *njsoTf with! What did T ever obtt'ic'to tJiis'Toidbrn place for '! 1 heard Liz say this morning, as fdie chattered in tho pus-sago outside with the chambermaid, that it was tho ''jumping ofT place of cre.:ticu,M utitl while I was cousidcri the point of the remit k, ami whether or no U was b s( to l&Ugli, there ensued a quarrel bc twec:i the two that afforded tlio only sensation I have felt sineo T came hero." Mortimer Van Sr.nt, Esq., stopped to yawn when he had proceeded thus far in his uarra ?tive, and his friend, Charlie Tranks cut in. "I thought you came here on account of your mother's dangerous illue.?s, Mort," he said lazily. ''I know that was the pica under which y?u seduced inc to accompany you. I believe you did say something about fishing, and 1 knew Van Sant was here. But Miss Van Sunt never leaven her mother, and I don't hejievc there's a fish larger than a shiner or a minnow withiu twenty miles. I think you might have a little consideration for the suffering I am en during for your sake, instead of bouicaning yourself all the time." Mortimer looked at his friend and emitted a long low whistle. '?Sorry for you, Churl'c. '1'on my soul 1 am ! But T can't bring myself to say that I'm Sorry I have a coinpuniou in misery. Why, my hoy, 1 remember when I found it excellent sport to fish for shiners with a bit of string, and a crooked pin. And then you do see Louise two or three times a day, though I can't eee that she takes much notice of you. While I?unless T make love to Liz, or the chamber maid, there's n perfect dearth of tho female element for me." "There must bo girls," hazarded Charlie, who was not quite sure at that period of his life that there was any woman except Louise Van Sant worth looking at. "Of course there are girls," added Mortimer, peovishly. "Fnrmor'H daughters, red-headed and buxom?Betseys and Blowsalindas?and shopkeeper's daughters, still worso, because vul garized by all manner of airs and pretensions. Why, Liz is bettor, because she lias seen some thing of the world, and enn be lively without being vulgar. French minds rtre nlwnys poign ant, but w ho wants to make sooiuty of them?" "Woll, we are in a bad box," acquiesced Charlie, "but you can't leave your mother, aud I won't leave you, if it were only for tho chance of being of some service. Lot's limko the best of it. Let's go out and have a smoke under tho trees by the river side." "Agreed 1" said Mortimer, aud tho two y?ung men rose up and commenced their scareh fur hats and Huvuuas. Thus engaged, they hoard a littl: bustle and low voices in the passage. List put her head in tho door. '"Mr. Van Sunt," she said, in hot French English, "a lady .comes to inquire lor Madame, > ! I VVft .!'?t " ' and Mnd.ctuoisollo bleeps beside Madame, who sleeps oJ?o, What will you that I do?" Mortimer turned round in surpriso, and a voice at the door answered the question that, wns upon his lips. "X am Miss Blair," it said?"Delia Blair; and my mother has sent?" Tho speaker, a beautiful girl of perhaps twenty, had by this titno entered the room, and paused, abashed and flu hing with tho rosiest color even up to her pure brow. "1 thought J was to see Mr. Van Sant, the husband of the sick lady," she said. "I am her son," Mortimer hastened to re ply. "Pray be seated, Miss Blair. Allow me to present my friend, Mr. Franks. Perhaps you ore not aware that my mother has been a widow fur sotuo years." "I knew nothing?my mother knew nothing but that a lady lay very ill here, at the village hotel. The mistake was my own; the cham bermaid called the lady Mrs. Van Sant, and told mc that! should tiud Mr. Vau Sunt here. It makes no difference, I came only to say that my mother and mysolf? any of our family would be glad to ho of any service to tho sick j lady.. If thorc is anything we can do, pray j let us know, Mr Van Sant?wc should cOusidor it a privilege. I will go now," she added, timidly. "Perhaps, if 1 wore to call in nn hour, I could sec your sister, and learn from her what I eotdd do." "Your kindness, and that- of your family is very great. I hardly know how to thank you .enough, Miss Blair. Pray wait if you can, until my sister comes down. 1 will call her? she will know what to say bettor than I." "I had better come again. T think. Do not disturb 3'our sister?1 have some errands to do in the village." And before a reply could be made she had glided out. with a little bow aud a smile, of half farewell to the gentlemen. Mortimer stood staring blankly at the spot she had left, and never uttered a word. ' She's a beauty, isn't .she?" quoth Charley Franks. "And how nicely she's dressed. 1 say Mortimer, do you thir.k she's* a farmer's daughter ?" Ifa look could have annihilated Charlie Franks, ho would not havu lived to utter an other rude speech. . "You had better go out, if you wish to," said Mortimer, Coolly, taking no notice of his remarks or questions, except by the withering contempt of his manner. "I shall stay at home ! ' ?o see Miss Flair when she returns. That rc I spect is due her, at least, from me." Again Chu'lic Franks whistled, but he inarched out, thinking it as well to obey or ders, since, as he termed it. Mortimer was "on the high horse.'' As soon as he was gone, Mortimer proceeded to his mother's room, en tered softly, and aroused his sister, without disturbing the siek lady. When Miss Blair returned, both were in the parlor, ready to re ceive her. She chine in blushing and smiling, yet with genuine pity and sympathy iu her sweet young face, so fresh and untouched by sorrow. Only a moment was needed for the three to draw together, and they had a pleas ant, friendly chut in the cool, shady room, in which Delia Blair ronowod her offers of help and kindness, which were received and accept ed as frankly as given. Deaeou Blair owned the beautiful farm, with its fine buildings and gardens, at the bend of the river below the village, which the brother and sister had so admired in their walks ; and Delia, though a fanner's daughter, was as highly educated, and as true a lady as as the Vant Sant belle and heiress No Blowsalimbl was she, but firm health sparkled in the bright ness of jcr eye, and glowed in the roses of her cheeks, aud betrayed itself in every movement of her well-poised figure. Without the deli cate fairness of that hot-house production, a city belle,she pnsscsescd a beauty as far out ranking hers us Nature must always outrauk the result ofa sickly, but morbid Art. Louise was charmed with her, sind as for Mortimer, no words could express his feelings ; but he thought, as he returned from handing her into the open carriage that stood at the door, that he was more than willing to spend his life iu Milford, lor the chance of sometimes feasting bis eyes on the beauty of Delia Flair, and listening to the music of her voice. And an hour before he had thought himself blitac, and pined for a new sensation. And day by day the acquaintance grew. Day by day came Delia and her gentle mot her, and delieaeies from the farm, and a thousand com forts from that well-stored household. ,'.vhich the little country hotel, where Mis. Van Sant had fallen ill when on a journuy, could not produce. And the very day the in valid was able for tho exertion, Doucon Flair's carriage stood at the door, with tho good dea con himself for charioteer, (o take her on a drivo. By this time a cordial acquaintance had grown up between the families. Kvoil Charlie Franks looked upon the Flairs as benefactors, for while they .watched tho invalid, Louise could refresh herself by long walks, always ii| ?irtr||-W ,'M'f'JIO t 'i . '?-r-~-:- " ! : Iiis company, since Mqrthuor tifToctcd greatly tho vie/rnity of Delia Blair. ? And so two ro mances; went on, and wcro wrought out to their denouement, without disturbing, by bo much as a ripple, the quiet of tho placid invalid, coining slowly back to life, and strength, fostered by the kindness of these good Blairs. The summer wore away, and the Van Sants, the mother quite well, again prepared to return to the city. Charlie Franks had been obliged to go before, but had taken tho heart of Louise with hjni?a fair exchange, sirtco ho luft liin behind in .her possession. He was jealous of nothing in the world but her love fur Delia Blair, j And- Mortimer could be silent no longer. The talc had been told mid answered often enough'-by tones and glances. Each knew tho secret of the other's heart, but now it must be spoken, Proud and high as were the Van ?Sants, they could not afford to look down upon Delia, as true a lady, educated, refined and graceful as one of their own long-dcsccudod and wealthy line ; nor to despise the g-Mitlc mo ther, nor the quaint simplicity and quiet good ness of the father. Mortimer had no fears.! Delia \tj:s like .'. d 'lighter ty his mother, Why need I linger as this summer idyl be neath the willows, by the murmuring river, draws to a close? The trees and the stream heard the old, oft repeated, yet ever new story, mir rorcd the blushes, and carried the sweet con fessed Beeret to the breezes, and sahg sweeter songs in their gletf as tlibv listened. And the pair were plighted It whs In :i quiet autumn mouth that the bri dal took place in the little village church.
