When people will, I'm always glad,

' Contrary folks, like mine old hen,

A FORTUNATE RUIN.

BY J AS. D-N.

CHAPTER I.
George Botiton sat in his room in his hotel.
He was a young man of twenty-six, tall nnd
slender, with a face of extraordinary intellect
tual beauty. He wua dressed in costly gar
ments, though: hie toilette was but I ndi (Tore n Hy
per formed. He was an orphan, and for some
time had lived at the St. Charles Hotel. It re
quired but a siugle glance into his pele features
to tell that he was an invalid. Ho sat with
head resting upon his hands, and his wholo
frauic trembled as though with some powerful
emotion.
As tho youth sat thus, his door opened and
an elderly geuticiuuu cutcrcd.
?Ah. doctor, you arc moving early this morn
ing," said Boutoii, as he languidly rose from
h>? seat and extended his hand.
"Oh, not early fur rue, George," returned
Dr. Melville with u bright smile. "I aiu an
early bird."
"Well, you huvo caught the worm this
time."
"I In mm: it will prove a valuable one"
* I don't know," sighed the youth. "I fear
a thousand worms will inhabit this poor body
ere lung."
"Nonsense, you're worth half a century yet,"
cried the doctor, giving him a gentle slap ou
the shoulder. "But tell me, George, how is it
with Rowland V
j "Just as I told you. All is gone."
"I don't understand it, George."
''Neither do I," said the young man," sor
rowfully. "That Chnrles Rowland could hive
done that thing, I could not have believed.
Why, had an angel appeared to me two weeks
ago :;:::! told sac that Rowland was uoi trust
worthy, I would not have given a moment's
attention to it. But only think, when my
father died he s< looted for guardiuu his best
friend, and such I even now believe Charles
j Rowland was, and in his bunds ho placed his
wealth, and fur hitu to keep until I was of
age^saVud when J arrived at that poyiud. u<
lite, I left my money where It was?l'Tiadno
use for it. Several times within three or four
years, h.<s Rowland asked me to t.ike my
money and invest it, but I would not. I told
him to keep it and use it if bo wished. I on
ly asked that wheu I wanted money he would
honor my demand. I felt more safe, in fact,
than I should h;ivc felt h id my money been in
a bank of deiaisit."
"How much money had he wheu he left ?'
"How much of uiiuc ?"
" 1 es.
"He should have had over a hundred thou
sand dollars."
"What do y?u mean Ui do?"
'?Ah, you LtaVi me 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 pa) ing your debt*
however."
"No, no, Doctor?none of that."
"But I tell you, I shall, 1 shall pay your
debts, but beyond that I can only help you to
assist yourself. What do you say to going to
sea V
A faiut smile swept over the youth's pale
features at this remark.
"I should make a smart hand at sea, Doctor.
I can hardly keep niv legs on shore. No, no
! ?I must,?"
"Must what V*
"Ah, I know not. I shall die?that is all : '
"Nonsense, George, I say go to sea. You
couldn't go into a store, and you would not, il
you could. You do tint wish to remain here
iu New Orleans, amid the scenes of your hap
pier days. Think of it; at sea you will be
free Iroiu all contact with things you loathe.
Think of it."
George Bontou started to his feet, and paced
the floor for soittu moments. When he stopped
a new life seemed already at work within hitu.
"If I went to sea, what could 1 do V*
"You understand all the laws of foreign
trade'"
"Yen. You know I had a thorough school
ing at that iu my father's country-home."
"Then you can obtain the berth of a super
cargo."
"Are you sure I can get one ?"
"Yes."
"Well, then, Dr. Melville, it's settled. I
will go."
? * a * * *
Gcorgo Bonton walked one evening to tho
house of a wealthy merchant. Andrew Wil
ton, residing on Washington street. It was u
palatial dwelling, und many a hopeful, happy
hour had ho spent bciieatli its roof. Ho rang
the bull and was admitted to the parlor. In
a few minutes Mary Wilton entered. She was
very beautiful, and was only twenty, She had
j been waiting until that age to be George Bon
I ton's wifo.
Some words wore spoken?many moments
of painful silence ensued.
"Mary, you know all. I am going from my
native land a beggar. I cannot stay long now.
Mary, did 1 know you less'than I do, I should
give back your promise and free you from
your engagement. But t believe I should
trample upon your heart did I do thai now. I
know your love ia too puro aud 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
less passiou, whichpuTs aside ii1t?othcr Conside
rations. We must love for eterhity, and so
our love must bo free. Wait. I am going to
work?aye, upon the sea to work."
'?But why upon tho sea ? Why away whoro
my poor heart must ever beat in auxious fear
aud doubt as it follows you
"Because I cannot remain here. Hundreds
of p<>or fools have imagined that i shunned them
because I was rich and proud. They know
not that it Was the tainted atmosphere of their
moral life that I shunned. They gluat over
tuy misfortunes. Men may call mo foolish;
but it would kill mo to stay hero."
'?Alas ! must it be ?"
"It must You will wait?"
"1 will wait even to the gates of the tomb."
'?Then, Heaven bless aud preserve you !"
C1IAI*TKR II.
The ruined youth was upon the ocean?hi*
voyago commenced?his duties as laborer for
his own daily bread ull fairly assumed. Ah.
it was a strange life fur him to cntor upon ;
from the ownership of immense wealth to the
trade of books of a merchant ship was a tran
sition indeed ! But 'ere he went on deck
again, he had fully rosolvod 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 iu
his mind lib already fob bettor.
At Girt our supercargo was too weak to do
much. He was very sick, and it lasted ncr.rly
two weeks ; but when that passed off, aud he
could face the vibratiug deck v. ith a stout
stomach, his appetite grew sharp, aud hi: mus
cles began to grow strong. 'At first his appo-.
iijjr* craved some of thc*delicucies he had been
Vrag useuWo ; but they were not to be had. and
he very soon learned'to do without them. The
result was that his appetite became natural in
its wants, and his system be-juti to find itself
invigorated by simple food, and fresh air and
healthful exercise.
For years he had looked up-'n breakfast as
a incal which must be set out aud partaken of
from mere fashion. A cup of coffee, aud per
haps*, a piece of fresh roll, or a gcasov.?>? and
highly-spiced titbi* had constituted the morn
ing meal But, now when the breakfast hour
<**? ?"_?>, nc approached it with a keen appetite
and felt as strong und as hearty us at any oth
er time of the day .
By degree;- the hollow checks became full,
the dark eyes assumed new lustro, the color,
rich aud healthful, came to the face, the breast
swelled with increasing power, the lungs ex
panded and grew str -tig, the muscles became
more firm and true, the nerves grew steady, and
the garments which he had worn when he came
on board hu.l to be let out some inches iu or
der to make them encompass his person. His
disposition became cheerful and bright ; aud
by the time the ship hud reached the shores of
the Old World the crew had learned to love
him. Through storm aud sunshine, through
tempest aud calm, through dark hours and
bright, the young supercargo made his voyage.
In one year from the day on which he left his
native laud, he placed his foot again upon the
-oil of the Creole State. But he did not stop.
The sauio 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 kiud old gentleman praised him for
his manly independence.
Again Ceorgc Bontou was upon the sea, and
again he assumed the duties of his office, and
even more. He stood watch when there was
oo need of it; and during seasons of storm he
claimed a post on deck.
At the end of another year he returned to
J his home agaiu. He was now twenty-eight,
' und few who knew him two years before could
recognise him now. His face was bronzed by
exposure, his cheeks full aud plump, his frame
stout, strong aud erect. His muscular system
Was nobly developed, ami among the men were
few who could stand before him in trials of
physical strength When he first loft the
Crcsceot City, two years before, he had weighed
just oue hundred und thirty pounds avoirdu
pois. He now brought up the beam fairly at
oue hundred and sevcuty-six. Surely he was
a new man in every respect.
On the afternoon of the third day, as he cu
te i cd the St. Charles Hotel, one of the waiters
handed him a letter. He opened it and l'ouud
it to be a letter from Mr. Wilt-on. It \ya8 a
raqneat that he would call nt the morftbgntV,
house at nine o'clock that cveuing.
"(Jcorgc sai'J the doctor," after Bniton had
tWf?*:i?-?
gi*ea-? fall account of his adventures while at
8ca'#iX should think you would almost forgive
jkhii Rowland for having made off with jour
forto^?"
''1$Qrgive buu 1" returned George, "Oh ! I
did that in the first place."
"well, George," returned the doctor, "Mr.
Rowland is bore, will you seo him ?"
'Sec him? See Charles Rowland? Of
course I will."
The door was opened and Mr. Rowland en
tered, >. He was an elderly gentleman, but halo
and hearty.
Tho old man aud the young one shook
hanfe, and theu inquired after each other's
health.
"You received a note from mo some two
yearn ago," said Mr. Rowland, "in which I
elated that one in whom I trusted had got your
money, and mine with it."
"Ycfl, sir," whispered Bonton.
"Well," resumed Mr. Rowland, "Dr. Mcl
\ ille was the man. He had your moucy, and
I believe ho has got it yet."
"How ? What'(" gasped George, gazing
from one to tho other in blank astonishment.
"Hold on, my boy," said tho doctor, while
a thousand emotion: seemed at work within his
bosom. "I was the villain. It was I who got
your money. I worked your ruin, my boy.
And tiow listen, and I will tell you why :
'?I'saw that you were dyiug. Ycur father
died of the same disease. A consumj "rro was |
upon him?not a regular pulmonary affection; |
but a wasting away of the system for the want
of proper, wholesome food aud physical exer
cise. The mind was wearing out the body.
The soul was slowly, but surely eating its way
from the crds that bound it to the oarth. 1
knew that you could be cured ; and I knew,
too, that the only thing iu the world whieh
could cure you was to throw you upon your
own physical resources for a livelihood. There
was a morbid willingness of the spirit to pass
away. You would have died ere you would
have made an exertion, from the fact that you
looked upon exertion worst than death. It was
a strange state of both'mind and body. Your
fort !$o was^u tuple apjd rendered work unncccs^
?ar?-\*o thnre waa too hnjie whilo that fortune
remained. Had it becu wholly n bodily mala
dy, I could have argued you iuto uccessary
work for a cure. And, on the other hand, had
it been wholly a mental disease, I might have
driven your body to 1 elp your mind. But both
were weak, and I knew that you must cither
work or die. I preferred thai you should du
the former."
I '*Aud iw\v, my boy, I'll tell you where my
nope lay. I knew that you possessed such
true pride of iudep mdencc, that you wouIJ
work. I saw Mr. Row laud, and tuld him my
plans. I assured him that if we could cou
trive to get you to n~u for a year or two, and
nuke you start out into active lite, for the sake
of life, you could be saved. He joined me at
once. 1 took your money aud his, und bid
him clear out. You know the re?t. And now
tell tue, my hoy, if 1 give you back your lbr
tuuo, will you forgive me ?"
"Forgive you Doctor? yea, with all my
heart; for have you not taught me the nccsai
ty and nobility of labor ?"
"I hope," continued the doctor, '?the lesson
you have learned will not soon be forgotten,
j Your money is safe?every prnuy of it?to the
amount cf one hundred aud twenty thousand
dollars. Poor Rowland has suffered much iu
knowing how you looked upon him ; but 1
know that he is amply repaid by tho sight ot
your noble, powerful frame, as he sees it to
night."
It was u full hour before all the questious of
the happy friends could be asked and answered;
and wheu the doctor and How land bad beeu
forgiven and blessed, lor the twentieth time,
Mr. Wilton, who bad only been let iuto the se
cret that evening, said, "Wait !"
He left the room, and when he returned he
led sweet Mary by the baud, looking, if possi
ble, more lovely than ever.
A few words sufficed to explain to her the
ruin which had been practiced upon her lover
by the Doctor and Mr. Rowland ; and while
she rejoiced at the sudden turn which had tak
en place in Mr. Buutou's prospects, she re
gretted that the return of bis fortune would
deprive her of the romantic privilege of mar
rying a man who earned his living by honest
labor. Late in the evening, after the hearts of
our lricuds bad fairly began to grow tirod of
joy. (leorgo usked usked Mary how much
longer sho was willing to "wait."
Her heart wns too full for utterance, but
turning her lace to bis, with a beaming smile
aud sparkling eyes, which spoke more eloquent
ly than words, ho read his answer. Aud, read
er, what d i you think it was? Can't you
guess ? A lew weeks after there was a gay
gathering of friends at Mr. Wilton's. Jtfnrj
Wilton was dressed in a white silk dies*, and
encircling her pure rbitei brow was a wreath
of orange Uowcre. She lookvul happy, as did
also (Jcorge Buuton, who stood by her side.

nr . -iii" ? h ?
In the early days of girlhood what a delight
ful thing itsjcmed to us to be married. The
days of courtship were so pleasant; ve wore
made to believe thut we were nngcls, that all
we said and all we did was charming. There
were verses, written to onr eyes?r*-sweetest
eyes ever seen," and sonnets that went, into
oxstacics abont our nose. Delicate boquets
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 wore so petted, so cared for, so
absolutely worshipped, that we felt like very
queens iu the purple robe of man's roye! !ovo.
Then the wedding was so delightful ; there
was so much mirth and music light aud
dancing. Our outfit waB so complete, our
presents so many and sobcautifal. Our white
satin dress was trimmed with the richest laee;
our peari set?uncut pearls, so creamy looking
was a gift from the groom. How radiantly
happy we looked, how supremely happy we
felt, as leaning on his strong arm, we walked
up the long aisle of the church, and standing
before the sacred altar, took tho oath that
made us wife?married to a man.
At first wo were in a state of delightful ex
citemeut. We were hurried from party to
party, from the opera to a ball. Our moruiugs
were passed in receiving visitors and eating
wedding cake. Wo had nothing to do : our
house was handsomely furnished, and the man
we had married loving aud caressing. Ah !
we thought, how delightful it is to married?
married to man, and we actually pittied the
single females of our acquaintance.
At first this marriage boll of ours went very
merrily. Then a faint minor note was struck:
our husband, our adorer, spoke impatiently.
It was the first time, and we forgave him,
thinking, in the iuuoccncc of our hearts, that
he would never do so again. But that was
but the. first of a succession of shocks that it
was our ill-fortune receive. Man, that de
ceitful creature, dropped the mask_with
which he hud covered his frowning face, and,
then we saw him as he 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 uwukencd from her sweet
dreams, and finds herself, not in goldcu
shackles, but in irou manacles. She may cry,
but there is- none to help her; she may beat
with her little bauds upon the locked gate of
her destiny, but it will not open for her, and
let out iuto the glad sunshine of liberty.
She has married a man. aud she must take
the consequences.; did she not kuow- (we fear
that she did uotj 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 in his power ? He is by na
ture deceitful; did she not kuow that he
would deceive her? She ought not to be as
tonished that she finds him selfish, cross, easily
put out of temper, even over a dish at the
table thai docs not please him, arbitrary, solf
willcd, self-indulgent. 'I his is his nature.
You don't expect, dear young Indies, te? gather
grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles do
you; or to find the angelic in the demouiao ?
Better think well before consent to eater
the prison of matrinony, lock the door on
yourself, aud baud the key over to your hus
band. Matrimony looks pleasant iu the dis
tance; it seems like a goldcu?paved eity.
Knter it, aud you find that it was all a painted
deceit?a show of glad glories, and nothing
more. Heart-aches, hc.\rt-breaks, tears, sighs,
groans, sacrifices without number, aud sorrows
without end ; and* this it is to be married to a
man.?Darlington Southerner.
