So anoth er and another letter wus written, until a regular correspondence was established. in thp meantime.

After Henry recovered entirely, Ar thur's friends called upou him for tho purpose of arranging matters for tho ad justment of the difficulty which existed between them. They were surprised to find the former in a careless Snd_n kind of don't-care mood. To their inquiries, they wore told that he?Henry ? had met with misfortunes, and that he had abandoned the idea of fighting for a Woman that hated him. Of course Arthur's friends couldn't, aud did not, persuade him to fh lit ; nud upou his elating that !kj hud acted liastl ?ly and iu a manner f,.r which he was sorry, the affair was dropped. > But when Arthur's friends left him, he swore to himself to he revenged.

Hoory had stopped viaitiug her en tirely. ? So many tunes ho passed her vtpon the sheets, without even recognizing hpr, that she thought ho had lennit to hate her. At. last Arthur proposed to Eliza the propriety of writing, to Mr. Boye'.'and telling him everything. ......... She said she knew her father belter ?hau he, iiuii Limb he would not cuter tain the idea of their marrying. Ho disregarded; however, her wishes so much as to write to tho old gentleman any how.

With tears in her eyes she sat down aud wrote Arthur all that he had said. Hut the intelligence did not surprise our hero Ilo bad previously formed a o irrcct opinion of (ho old [gentleman's? iro, when oneo aroused, aud could uot therefore affect astonishment at anything he did. , However, for Eliza's sake he wrote ;) i.e. ' her a long letter in reply to her cjucs tions, " What if her luthor did so and so V and "What would become of thorn ' if he did ?" Arthur answered th.se with satisfac tion to Eliza's mind, and she became more impatient than ever for the day to arrive that would iinito her destiny with Due whom she loved better than site didl all rarthly beiogs.
