A FORTUNATE RUIN.
BY JA8. D-N.

CIIAPTKR I.
George Bonton eat in his room in his hotel.
He waft a young man of twenty-six, tall and
slender, with a face of extraordinary intcllcc- J
tual beauty* He was dressed in costly gar
?nenta, thvugk ltb.torleUe was but indifferently ]
performed. He was an orphan, and foi aouio
time had lived at the St. Charles Hotel. It re
quired but a single glance into his pale features
to tell that he was an iuvalid. Ho sat with
head resting upon his hands, and his whole
frame trembled as though with somo powerful
emotion.
As the youth sat thus, his door opened and
AD elderly gentleman entered.
"Ah. doctor, you are moving early this morn
ing," said Bonton, as he languidly rose from
his seat and extended his hand.
"Oh, not early fur me, George," returned
Dr. Melville with a bright smile. "I am an
early bird."
"Well, you have caught the worm this
time."
' I hope it will prove a valuable one."
' I don't know," sighed the youth. "I fear
a thousand worms will inhabit this poor body
ere long."
"Nonsense, you're worth half a century yet,"
cried the doctor, giving him a gentle slap tin*
the shoulder. "But tell me, George, how is it
with Rowland ?"
"Just as I told you. All is gone."
"I don't understand it, George."
"Neither do I," said the young man," sor
rowfully. "That Charles Rowland could hive
dune that thing, I could not have believed.
Why, had an angel appeared to me two weeks
ago and told me that Rowland was not trust
worthy, I would not have given a moment's
attention to it. But only think when my
father died he 6< lected for guardian bis best
friend, and such I even now believe Charles
Rowland was, and in his hands ho placed his
j^MffolMr him to keep until I was of j
od when jl arrived irt tbut porb^ofj
eft my money where it was?1 nadno^
use for it. Several times witmn three or four
years, has Rowland asked me to tie
money and invest it, but I would not. I told
him to kt cp it aud use it if he wished. I on
ly asked that when 1 wanted money be would
honor my demand. I felt more safe, in fact,
than I should have felt had my money been in
a bank of dejtoMt."
"How much money had he when he left ?'
"How much of mine 1"
"Yes."
"He should have had over a hundred thou
sand dollars."
"What do you meau tu do 7"
"An, you Mare mo on the hip there."
"And yet you must do something. George.
Heaven knows I would help you if I could. 1
shall claim the privilege of paving your debts
however."
"No, no, Doctor?none of that."
"But I tell you, I shall, I shall pay your
debts, but beyond that I can only help you to
assist yourself. What do you say to gotug to
sea?"
A faint smile swept over the youth's pale
features at this remark.
"I should make a smart hand at sea, Doctor.
I can hardly keep my legn on shore. No, no
?I must?"
"Must what ?"
"Ah, I know not. I ahall die?that is all!'
"Nonsense, George, I say go to sea. Yon
couldn't go into a store, and you would not, il
you could. You do not wish to remain here
in New Orleans, amid the scenes of your hap
pier days. Thiuk of it; at sea you will be
free from all contact with things you loathe.
Thiuk of it."
George Bonton started to his feet, and paced
the flour for some moments. When he stopped
a new life seemed already at work within him.
"If I went to sea, what could I do f"
"You understand all the laws of foreign
trade?"
"Yes. You know I bnd a thorough .school
ing at that in my father's country-home."
"Then you can obtain the berth oi a super
cargo."
"Are you sure I can get one ?"
"Yes."
"Weil, thru, Dr. Mclvillo, it's settled. I
will go."

Gcorgo Bonton walked ono evening to the
house of a wealthy mcrohant. Andrew Wil
ton, residing ou Washington struct It ?rss a
palatial dwelling, and many a hopeful, happy
hour had be spent beneath its roof. He rang
the bell aud was admitted to the parlor. 1?
a few minute* Mary Wilton entered. She was
very beautiful, and was only twenty. 8he had
been waiting until thai age to be George Bon
I ton'H wife.
_T_-J -,j<-'
Somo words woro spoken?many moments
of painful silence ensued.
"Mary, you know all. I am going fron* my
uativo luud a beggar. I eaunef stay loug how.
Mary, did I know you less'than I do, I should
gjv* back your promise nnd free you from
your engagement. But I believe I should
trample upon your heart (lid I do that now. I
know your love is too dum and deep to be torn
from your bosom at will. So I say wait?
wait! There are other feelings in the human
heart besides love. That love is a poor. profit
Ices passion, which"puts aside nlYothor conside
n^wi"# W? mast larVd'Ar1 '?eternity, and ho
our love must be free. Wait. I am going to
Work?aye, upon the sea to work."
"But why upon the sea ? Why away whore
my poor heart must ever beat in noxious fear
aud doubt as it follows you T*
"Because t cannot remain here. Hundreds
of poor fools have imagined t hat 1 shuuncd them
because I .was rich and proud. rThcy know
not that it was the tainted atmosphere of their
moral life that I shunned. They gloat over
my misfortunes. Men may call mo foolish ;
but it would kill mo to stay hero."
'?Alas ! must it> be ?"
<:Itmust You will wait?"
"I will wait even to the gate* of tho tomb."
"Then, Heaven bless and,preserve y ?u I"
tJtfAPTER II.
The ruined yOnth was upon the ocean?his
voyage commenced?his duties as laborer for
hia own daily bread all fairly assumed. Ah,
it was a strange life fur him to enter upon ;
from the ownership of immense wealth to the
trade of books of a merchant ship was u tran
sition indeed! But -ere he went on deck
again, he had fully resolved that he would do
his duty, come what would. He would forget
that he ever did else than work for his liveli
hood. With these resolves clearly defined in
.his mind ho already felt better.
At first our supercargo was too weak to do
much. lie was very sick, and it lasted ncr.rly
two weeks ; but when that passed off, and he
could face the vibrating deck a .stout
stomach,his appetite grew sharp, and hi: mus-.
des began to grow stron first his "J^m
. . :? m I). VII
^TOg ttscerlo; but tbey were not to be had, and
he very soon learned*to do without them. Tho
result was that bis appetite became natural in
its wants, and hi* system bev>au to find itself
invigorated by simple fool,* aud fresh air and
healthful exercise.
For years he bad looked up n breakfast as
a meal which must be set out and partaken of
from mere fashion. A cup of coffee, and per
haps*, a piece of fresh roll, or a seasoiwi nud
higbly-spicod titbit had emUirute.l the morn
ing meal But. now when the breakfast hour
?"m^ct no approached it with a keen appetite
and felt as strong aud as hearty as at any oth
er time of the day.
By degree:1 the' hollow checks became full,
the dark eyes assumed new lustre, the color,
rich and healthful, catuo to the faec, the breast
swelled with increasing power, the lungs ex
panded and grew stT 'ng, the muscles became
more firm and true, the nerves grew steady, aud
the garmcuU which he bad worn when he came
on board had to be lot out some inches in or
der to make them encompass his pcrsou. His
disposition became cheerful and bright; aud
by the time the ship had reached the shores of
the Old World tho crew hail learned to love
him. Through storm aud sunshine, through
tempest aud calm, through dark hours und
bright, the young supercargo made his voyage.
In one year from the day on which he left his
native laud, he placed bis foot again upon the
-oil of the Creole State. But he did not stop.
Tho same ship, with the same officers, was
going upon the same cruise again, and he
meant to go with her. He saw Mary Wilton,
aud she would wait. He saw Dr. Melville,
and the kind old gentleman praised him for
his manly independence.
Again George Bonton was upon the sen, nnd
again he assumed the duties of his office, aud
even more. Ho stood watch when there was
no need of it j and during scason? of storm he
claimed a post on deck.
At the end of another year be returned to
his home again. He was now twenty-eight,
and few who knew him two years before could
recognise him now. His face was bronzed by
exposure, his checks full aud plump, his frame
stout, strong aud erect. His muscular system
Was nobly developed, and among the men were
few who could stand before him in trials of
physical strength When he first loft tho
Crescent City, two years before, he had weighed
just one hundred and thirty pounds aruirdu
pois. He now brought up the beaut fairly at
one hundred nnd seventy-six. Surely he has
a new man in every respect.
On the afternoon of the third day, as he. en
tcicd the St. Charles Hotel, one of tho w.liters
banded him a letter. He opened it aud found
it to be u letter from Mr. Wijpoo. It was a
request that he would ca)l at tho merchant's
house at nine o'clock that evening.
??George 8?H tho doctor," after Bonton had

him: 8ec Charles Rowland? Of
course I will."
Tfc/s door was opened aod Mr. Rowland cc
tureU,* He was an elderly gentleman, but hale
and licaity.
T1 o old man and the young one shook
bauds, and then inquired after each other'a
health^
"You received a note from mo some two
years ago," said Mr. Rowland, "in which I
stated that one in whom I trusted had got your
money, and mine with it."
u*ei| sir," whispered Bonton.
"Well," resumed Mr. Rowland, "Dr. Mel
villejwas the man. He had your moucy, and
I believe be has got it yet."
"How? What?" gasped George, gazing
from one to the other in blank astonishment.
"Hold on, my boy/' said the doctor, while
a thousand emotions sonuied at work within his
bosom. "I was the villain. It was I who got
your money. I worked your ruin, my boy.
Aml^uow listen, and I will tell you why :
"I saw that you were dying. Your 'father
died of the same disease. A consumption, waa
upon him?not a regular pulmonary affection;
but a wasting away of the system for the want
of proper/wholesome fond and physical exer
cise. The mind was wearing out the body.
The soul Was slowly, but surely eating its way
from the cords that bound it to tho earth. 1
knew, that you could* be cured ; and I knew,
too,that the only thing iu the world which
could cure you wus to throw you upon your
own physical resources for a livelihood. There
was n morbid willingness of the spirit to pass
away. You would' have died ere you would
have made an exertion, from the fact that you
looked upon exortion worst than death. It was
a strange state of both>miud and^' idy. Your j
fort :no was ampde aud rendered work uduccch^
?:?ry\-o tliero xvhf no hope while that fortune
remained. Had it been wholly a bodily mala
?ly, I could have argued you into necessary
work for a cure. And, on the other band, bad
it been wholly a mental disease, I might bare
driven your body to I clp your mind. But both
were weak, and I knew that you must either
work or die. I preferred that you should do
the foruicr."
'?And now, my boy, 1*11 tell you where my
uOpu lay. I kucw that you possessed such
true pride of independence, that you woulJ
work. I saw Mr. Rowland, aud told him my
pluus. I assured Ii im that if we could con
trive to get you to sea for a year or two, and
in; ke you start out iuto active lifo, for the sake
of life, you could be saved. He joined me at
once. I took your money aud his, and bid
bint clear out. You know the res*. Aud now
tell me, my boy, if I give you back your for
tune, will you forgive me ?"
"Forgive you Doctor ? yea, with all my
heart ; for have you nut taught mo tho uecssi
ty and nobility of labor ?"
"1 hope," continued the doctwr, "the le.?sou
you have learned will not soou bo forgotten.
Your money is hale?every penny of it?to the
amount of one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars. Poor Rowland bns suffered much iu
knowing how you looked upou him ; but 1
know that be is amply repaid by the sight of
your milile, powerful frame, ns he sees it to
night."
It was a full hour before all the questions' of
the happy friends could bo asked and answered;
and when the doctor and Rowland had been
forgiven and blessed, fur tho twentieth tiuie,
Mr. Wilton, who had ouly becu let into the sc
j crct thut evening, said, "Wait !"
He left the room, and when he returned he
led tweet Mary by tho baud, looking, if possi
ble, more lovely than ever.
A few words sufficed to oxpla: j to her he

en place in Mr. I Son ton's prospects, she re
gretted that the return of his fortune would
deprivo her of tho romantic privilege of mar
rying a man who earned his living by honest
labor. Late in the evening, after the hearts of
our friends bud fairly began to grow tired of
joy. George asked asked Mary how much
longer she was willing to "wait."
Her heart was too full for utterance, but
turning her faco to his, with a beaming smile
and sparkliug eyes, which spoke more eloquent
ly than words, be read his answer. Aud, read

Married to a Man.
BY MBH. W'lLUAK.
jt -ii ? ??('?'.?? k ?'
In the early days of girlhood what a delight
ful thing it seemed to us to be married. The
days of courtship were so pleasant; we wore
made to believe that we were angels, that all
we said and all wc did was charming. There
were versos, written to our eyes?'-sweetest
eyes ever seen," and sonnets that went, into
ex8tacics about our nose. Delicate boqusts
greeted us of an evening, and sugar plums
were showered upon us. If we looked sick,
or sad, or sleepy, we were asked a hundred
times, in the tendcrest tones; what ailed us;
and caresses and fond attentions were re
doubled. We were so petted, so cared for, so
absolutely worshipped, that we felt like very
queens in the purple robe of man's royal love.
Then the wedding was so delightful; there
was so much mirth and music light and
dancing. Our outfit was so complete, our
presents so many and so beautiful. Our white
satin dress was trimmed with the richest laeo;
our pearl set?uncut pearls, so creamy looking
was a gift from the groom. How radiantly
happy we looked, how supremely happy we
felt, as leaning ou his strong arm, we walked
up the long aisle of the church, and standing
before the sacred alUtr, took tho oath that
made us wife?married to a man.
At first wo were iu a state of delightful ex
citement. We were hurried from party to
party, from the opera to a hall. Our mornings
were passed in receiving visitors and eating
wedding cake. Wo had nothing to do: our
house waa handsomely furnished, and the man
wc had married loving and caressing. Ah !
we thought, how delightful it is to married?
married to man, and we actually pittied the
single fe milcs of our acquaintance.
At first this marriage bell of ours went very
merrily. Then a faint minor note was struck:
our husband, our adorer, spoke impatiently.
It was the first time, and weforgave him,
thinking, in the iuuocencc of our hearts, that
he would never do so again. But that was
..but the first of a succession of shocks that it
waa our iil-fortuno*& receive. Man, that de?
ceifful creature, dropped tho mask?with
which he had*covercd his frowning face, and,
then wc saw him as be really is. Not the
yielding slave of woman, but her stern dicta
tor; not her abject lover but Her lord and mas
ter. Ah ; misery of miseries when a woman,
a wife, is rudely awakened from her sweet
dreams, aud finds herself, not in golden
shackles, but in iron manacles. She may cry,
but there is none to help her; she may beat
with her little hands upon the locked gate of
her destiny, but it will not open for her, and
let out into the glad sunshine of liberty.
She has married a man, and she must take
the couscqucuccs ; did she not know-(wo fear
that she did not) that her orange bridal blos
soms, would turn into a wreath of weeping
willow ? Man is by nature a tyrant: why did
she put herself is hi~ power ? He is by na
ture deceitful; did she not kuow that he
would deceive ber? She ought not to be as
touished that she finds him selfish, cross, easily
put out of temper, even over a dish at the
table that does not please him, arbitrary, self
willed, self-indulgeut. 1 his is his nature.
You don't ex pee:, dear young ladies, to gather
grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles do
you; or to find the angelic in tho demoniac ?
Better think well before consent to enter
the prison of matrinony, lock the door on
yourself, nud haud tho key over to your hus
band. Matrimony looks plcasnnt in the dis
tance; it seems like a golden?paved city.
Kuter it, aud you find that it was all a painted
deceit?a show of glad glories, and nothing
more. Hcart-nches, heart-breaks, tears, sigbs,
groans, sacrifices without number, and sorrows
without end ; aud* this it is to be married to a
man.?Darlington Southerner.
