Tho world was dull and lifo Avas very dreary to young Anthony Car? thew; and all sorts of strange un? answered questions gathered heavily upon his heart, like sad dreams which oppress the mournful. For what was he living?-to what aim, end, purpose, or intention ? For pleasure?-pleasure in the dullest o? society, and the most uninteresting of countries? For ambition?-what ambition was there for a daily tutor in Stoneleigh. For a pleasant home life of love and sweet affection?-but his possessions in tiiai way were not rich enough for the needs of tin; poorest heart. With a half-sister, much older than himself, who usurped tho domination without, granting the tenderness of a mother, and who thought that the fit guidance of youth meant the suppression of its instincts, and the annihilation of all its joys-with only such a com? panion as this, there could not be much love shut up for him within those four walls called by courtesy his home. 80 that, turn which way he would, his whole lifo seemed bar? ren and his very existence a mistake. Anthony was not unreasonable in his discontent; for in truth never was there a more comfortless life than that which Rachel Carthew provided for her young brother in that miser? able house of theirs. Anthony's home was all gloom and narrowness, both moral and actual; and it was in such a melancholy dungeon as this, that Rachel thought to forge the links and grappling-irons which were to save her youthful brother from external evil, and anchor him to the safety lying in the calm of home af? fections. Can you wonder, theil, that Anthony was weary ol' a life which gave him only such a stagnant pool as this for the bay which held his choicest pearls? Fifty at the youugest, stiff-backed, lean, bony, and inexpressibly sour tempered, Rachael Carthew was a liviug protest against every grace of womanhood, every suave delight of life. No one had been evoi known to love her-not even when she wai young, and what peoi pie, who measure beauty by length of inches and weight of bone, call r "line woman;" and now, of course, such a feeling was out of thequestior -she was as far removed from love ir. auy of its forms as if she had beer one of the Gorgon sisterhood nu earthed. But the hardest have a sof place somewhere; and even Rache had her preferences. So she opene< her heart to a certain little Nelb Blair, the daughter of the Stoneleigh attorney. Nelly Blair was a pretty little crea ture, of the apple-cheek order, witl large light-blue eyes, well-shaped but inexpressive; a fair, round, fa face; a short, blunt, positive nose red lips, neither full nor wide; a figur made up of a succession of circles and 'with a temper as even as a bow of fresh milk. Such as she was, sh was Rachel Carthew's chosen friend and Rachel had her designs on th friend's future fortunes. Now, An thony weh knew what those design wen . and g i ve way to them, accord ing io the habitual indolence of hi character, according to the deferent' he always paid his sister, and accord ing to the pliancy of the discontente and unhappy. The suit went by Rf chet's rilling; and, in due time, Ai: thony, cheated, by the crying need 1 sympathy, 'into the belief that h loved Nelly Blair, (who, by the waj was the only girl of his own age an condition with whom he was a< quain ted,) made his proposal in pr< per form, and in proper form wa accepted.. For though he was onl the village teacher of humanities, h was not poor, and though Nelly w? the attorney's daughter, she had n portion. So that they were equal i rank and condition, and neither cou] despise the belongings of the othe Anthony was angry with himse that he was not more contented; f( was he not truly, really, devotedly i love? Rachel said he was, and R ebel knew everything; and Nelly wi satisfied-and would she be that he failed even in thc smallest partie lar? It was said young girls wei exacting, and she was doubtless lil the rest. "More weary and melancholy th: ever, one day, Anthony plunged in the only square yard of copse to 1 seen for miles round Stoneleigh, was the wood of the neighborhoo and might have been an acre cut o of the Black Forest, for the magni cent ideas of gloom and grandeur ? sociated with it by the Stoneleij people; ami, naturally, it was a i vorite place with Anthony, with i romantic tendencies and insatial love of nature. Lost in his o\ vague dreaming.';, his head buried his Jiands, over which his pictnresq black hair hung, thick and wavy, A thony's senses were closed against t outside world, when, suddenly, voice, most rarely sweet and music asking, with the daintiest dash foreign accent, "What was the na] of this wood, and in which directi was Stoneleigh?" woke him to t knowledge that a lady was stand] before him. Confused and starth he sprang to his feet, and his e; met two largo hazel orbs, fixed w a strange, perplexing expression hi?' face. "This isJBeech Copse, madam;r Stoneleigh Hes to the North," stam? mered Anthony. "Thank you; you oro kind," said the lady, still keeping her perplex ingly beautiful eyes fixed steadily upon him. "And VOIT, monsieur forgive me the liberty; but do you, too, Uve itt Stoneleigh?" "Yes," said Anthony, blushing. "1 am piad of that," she answered, with a low sweet laugh; "for I am your neighbor now, and shill ii ?pi? to see von somotirios at O.ikfel! Hall." "Oakfell Hall!" echoed Anthony, in a tone of surprise. "In its ruined state, how can you bo there, madam? It. is years since it was first inhabited, and is little better than a ruin." "I am usually very rapid in ray movements," said the lady, witli a singular sm ?io. "I took the. place only a few days apo, certainly ; but i? yon will do mo the pleasure' of pay? ing- mo a visit, you will, I think, agree that I have not lost my time. Will you come?" Anthony stammered something, lie scarce knew what; but it was suf?? ciently unintelligible to pass for an assent; and the lady accepted it as such. "Adieu, then, monsieur," she said, "Remember, J. count on seeing you at thc Hull, and soon-the sooner tb" move charming." She waved her hand, then passed with a pretty, light and balancing ste]) round the clump of gorse that grew between them. Anthony saw her light blue summer robe flutter through the goldeu lacings of the blossoms, and it seemed as ii he aven itself had iluttev.'tl 'away in ils folds. With a magnificent burst of stoic? ism, he left thc copse and came out upon thc open common; and there, walking" in the direction of Stone? leigh, lie saw the Hatter of a light blue robe and a graceful head turned back towards the road; one small, fair hand holding the chesnut curls from off tho face. Was thc air so marvel? lously clear to-day, flint every line and hue and movement of that figure should be preternaturally distinct, or was it, in very truth, a chapter of glamour, and was Anthony under th" spell of an unblessed fay? A couple of centuries apo, lie would have thought himself possessed, and have straightway pone to a priest to bo ex? orcised. Now, witli the light of science slantinp in his eyes, he spoke reasonably to himself of nerves and liver, of the virtue that lay in calomel and black-draught, and of the foolish excitability of those who dwell much alone in country places. Hut he was bewitched, nevertheless. [CONTINUED IN OTJE NKXT."} Proclair " tion. By his Excellency JAMES L. OHE, Go? vernor mel Conxrnander-vn-Cliief in and over Gie State of Smith Carolina.
