COLUMBIA, S. C., Octobor 10, 1867. A Boarding House Romance. CONCLUDED. While chatting thus, the dooi opened, and a young lady, whom ] had not yet seen, entered. Hoi hean ty eonld not fail to attraot i natani attention; her features were regular, her complexion that peculiar wax} pink and white, her eyes a clear true blue, and her hair, which waa per fectly golden, was drawn in wavj luxuriance off her broad forehead and gathered at tho back into a mas sive bow. She was tall, with a nguri of rounded proportions, and even ii her dress of plain black alpaca, an< simple linen collar and cuffs, sin looked stylish and lady-like. "Who is that lovely girl?" I aske< eagerly of Miss White. "Oh! that is Miss Maitland. He father was a poor curate, who die? from over-work and starvation, an? his wife soon followed, leaving thi girl alone withont a relation in th world; so she turned her musical ta lents to account, and gives lessons al day. Mrs. Wilson knew somethin? of her, I fancy, and she hos been her for the last two years, helping t amuse the boarders, and paying som very trifling snm for a home. Sh plays and sings very well, as you wi! hear presently; but until Mrs. Stace has finished her nap, the piano is nc allowed to be touched.? "Miss Maitland looks sad," I n .marked. "Oh! os for that," she replied, "sk "won't be friendly , with any one, bi sits like a statue, without speaking Xiast winter, I fancied the captain wc struck with her pretty face; but si tossed her head at him, and gave he self as many airs as though she hs been a young woman of fortune, ii stead of a poor music-teacher tram] ing the streets of London, and goii from house to house, wet or fine, f< half-a-crown an hour." .'Poor girl!" I said, compaasionat ly. "It is a sad position foroneboi a lady, and endowed with beauty ai talents." "Well, so it is," said Miss Whit ' 'and that is why I say there is nothii like a good trade. Now iny fath rose from a mere shop-boy, but 1 managed to leave twenty thousai pounds behind him; and, witho seeking it, I get more respect and i tention, because I am independe) than the clergyman's daughter, w ?robably congratul?tes herself up aving no relations or friends trade." Mrs. Stacey now modo her re-? pearance, and I noticed that she gn the young musician a patronizi shake of the hand, and, as soon settled in her arm-chair, called ot "Now then, my dear, give us one yonr pretty songs. " Captain Vern advanced to lead her to the piai and though he had but greeted 1 with a bow when she first com3 in, now held out his hand. She took formally, and then intimated, that she sang and played without not she wonld dispense with his presei at the piano. Ho looked vexod, o returned to his place by Lavini side, and began talking to her ii most animated strain. Every n and then she interrupted him wi "La! Captain Vernon, don't talk st nonsense-you make me quite vai Then there was the mother's cc "Now, Captain, I mustn't let you cite Livy so, or sho won't sleep a w all night. " But Miss Maitland bej to sing and tho hum of tongues ceae Her voice was replete with exqui sweetness, and she sang with s simple, unaffected tnsto and exp: sion, that I introduced myself, purpose to thank her for tho treat hod given me. Sho seemed pleai nil i ' il ' i lill and accorded me a bright emile, which nt once won my heart. Her office was no sinecure, for she was called upon for song if ter song, and looked quite weary and worn when we parted for tho night. From that first evening Hilda Mait? land wonnd herself unoonsoionsly round my affections in a manner that surprised myself. First, my advances of friendship were as coldly treated ivs those of others; but at last abo saw that mine was not insolent patronage, bot warm liking, and then she seemed quite glad to have found a true friend. She told me that all her life, short as it Vas, had been ono continued chain of trials and privations; for her father I hnd, as Mise White said, literally died o? starvation, and for some time she was only able to earn very little; so that when her mother also laid down the burden of life, it wae for her own loneliness only that she grieved. Now she could make sufficient to support herself, and with strict economy save a little; but it was hard, trying work, and a joyless life for one young and gifted. Lavinia Primrose disliRed her cordially, for she was jealous of her superior attractions, and feared her as a rival, and she sought to annoy and mortify her in every way worthy of one so narrow-minded. When I had made my observations for a short time, I likewise fancied that Captain Vernon admired Hilda, but she gave bim no visible encouragement, and in a sort of pettish pique, he flirted with Miss Primrose, for whom it was easy to see he did not care a straw. But as Hilda never introduced the Captain's name in our conversations, I thought it better not to bronch the subject.. One morning, Mrs. Wilson (who from the commencement of my so? journ in her house had seemed tc think that I was an easily-managm! boarder,) came into my room iu great tribulation, to tell mo that the Prim? roses' threatened to leave at the omi of their week, unless Miss Maitland was instantly sent away; ns they con? sidered her a low, designing person and declared that her manuel' witt Captain Vernon was forward and pro suming. 'T cannot afford to lose two gooi payers, nor do I like sending tin poor girl among strangers ?gain, as ] really don't think sho lias meant anj harm," she continued; "besides, . don't believe Mrs. Colonel Stacey would like to be without music now it was one of the things that mad? her come to live here." "Tell Mrs. Primrose and her dangh ter that you cannot possibly compl; .with their request, Mrs. Wilson,' I said," "for their accusations an perfectly unfounded; and should Mis Maitland have to leave in consequence I shall accompany her; for, like your self, I do not think it right to t hro\ a beautiful young woman like she i needlessly about the world; there ar too many wicked enough to tak advantage of youth and innocence Miss Lavinia is herself the one whos conduct is improper, but my owi idea is that she will never win he game. One thing, liowover, you ma be sure of, that they will not luav so long as Captain Vernon remains. And thus thc storm passed ovei but I think Mrs. Wilson gave Hild a few hints about what bad passet for her manner towards Vernon wa more freezing than ever; thougl from certain signs, which a woma alone can detect, I began to feel sm that she really loved him, but fe some private reasons she would n< allow him to see it. After this Lavinia seemed seize with a violent friendship for Hild: and sought ber company as much i she had hitherto despised it. SI even went so far ?is to talk of bavin a few singing lessons from her, bi this Miss Maitland declined, on tl plea that her time was fully ocoupiei But in spite of her drawing bac! Lavinia would confide to her th Captain Vernon had all but made tl offer to her, and she did not think would bo long before sho beean Mrs. Vernon. "And do you know she continued, giggling, "at ono tin I was a little jealous of you, but tl Captain has assured me without cause." "Quito so," replied Hilda, coldl but she did not encourage fuvth conversation. One evening, shortly after th Mrs. Primrose addressed Hilda in loud touo from tho further end of t room, saying: "You would not acknowledge this afternoon, Miss Maitland, thou, I bowed, and my daughter wav her band." "I never saw yon, Mrs. Primrose she replied. "But I suppose I v walking quickly, as I usually am.' "No, not at all," replied the hui significantly. "I mean when y were in tho park. But it waa qu excusable, my dear, with such good-looking companion as you h to engross your attention. I suppt we shall be losing yon soon." "It isn't fair of you to speak ( beforo any one, ma," said Lavin with a simper. "Of course M Maitland will tell us all about it good time. But I must say," i added, trying to look arch, "thut > ore very sly about it." Hilda blushed a deep crimson, 1 sho replied, proudly, "I really do i understand you, Miss Primros Then catching Captain Vernon's < fixed upon her with an expression pain and surprise, she moved to piano without another word. Miss Primrose had evidontly offf ed her object-more snooessf ally even than sho had dareel to expect; for Captain Vernon, ungenerous though it might be, was fully impressed with ! the notion that Hilda was meeting tome one clandestinely, and her blushes and proud manner cf dis? daining to deny it, still more con j firmed the belief; though, really, if he had reasoned the matter over in his own mind, he might have disco? vered that as she bad no one to control her actions, no secrecy was needed, and if she were really en? gaged, she could be so openly. ! . To me, in private, she said the whole was a fabrication, as she had never even boen in the park; but she begged mc to Bay nothing, aa she merely told me because she thought it a dnty to herself and my friendship for her. A short time after this, Captain Vernon went into the country, but fixed the day and hour of his return, und laughingly said he should expect us to welcome him back quite joyfully. The day of his return arrived, but it was not till evening thnt he waa to come. Just as we were sitting down to dinner, Mr. Jones rushed in late, and informed us that there had been a fearful accident to tho train by which Captain Vernon was tc como ; the news had been telegraphed up to London, and every one was in consternation, as tho number of kill? ed and injured was something fearful. We were all in a state of excitement and sorrow nt tho tidings, thougl many of us would not think that om frank, agreeable companion, so Interj among us in health and spirits, wa: now lying a mangled corpse or i maimed sufferer. Lavinia was snpport cd from tho room by her mother, bu she recovered sufficiently to re-nppea: after dinner, and reclining languid!; on the sofn, sho alternately applict n smelling-bottle to her nose, and i pocket-haudkerchief to her eyes, an( seemed to think herself an object o interest and tender compassion. Tho poor captain's sad death migh indeed be a blow to her matrimonia speculations, bat if sho hud a heart it certainly remained untouched, meant to bava slipped away to hav broken these dreadful tidings to Hild in tho privacy of her own room, for dreaded the effect upon her; bowovei just ns I was contemplating makin; my exit, she entered, and thong deadly pale, seemed calm and collecte ns usual. She was immediately eutei fained with the news, hut coldly rt plied, "that sho had heard it from th servants, and was exceedingly surry. This remark was so commonplace that I felt quite angry with her; bi sho afterwards confessed to me tin she was suffering martyrdom, and sort of supernatural strength alon prevented her from breaking dow beneath her agony; but cruel ey< were fixed upon her, and she koo that they would gloat over her miser; so she hid it deep in the recesses < her constant heart. Mrs. Stacey hated this kind of dui ness, and asked, as usual, for son music; but for once her will was r sisted-every ono declaring that would bo most uufeeliug, and Lavin adding "that sho could not bear it She tried to enlist Mr. Jones' servie for herself, first asking him to dru ber sofa a little nearer to the fire, th< to fan her burning temples, and last to rub her hands-and all tho whi she cast such tender glauces to war him, that Miss Bella White was alan ed. Mr. Jones was worth catelan and Lavinia thought that ho would < to fill tho captain's vacant plac though it waa, after all, amusing soo how sho gave us all touuderstai that there had been something L tween herself and Captain Verno Not that we believed it. All L blandishments, however, could n draw Mr. Jones from his allegiance tho fair Bolla. Perhaps he thong that her ?10,000 was moresubstaut than tho largo fortune which was be Miss Primrose's portion ; nnyho he performed the offices required him very much as a bear might lui done, bat he would go no farth Wo had all relapsed into a mourn silence, only broken by au occosioi snore from Mrs. Stacey, (who li grumbled herself into a second na when wo were startled by a loud kne at the street door, and tho sa thought strack us all-that it was 1 body of tho unfortunate man bei brought there, probably through so card or envelop in his pocket bear; that address. Mrs. Stace)', fully aw ened, whispered in a sharp, nervo au? libio tone: '*Hc must not brought here. I would not stay the boase ono hour with a corpse. Mrs. Wilson badalwavsexperien great liberality from the captain, she herself allowed, and was rei sorry for what had occurred, but evidently agreed with Mrs. Stac that the captaiu living and the capt dend wus not quito the same thing giving a re-assuring nod to tho lady, sho prepared to leave tho roi in order to refuse admittance to unwelcomo object. Before she cc reach tho door, however, it was il open, and in came Cuptuin Ver himself, as fall of health and spi aa when he parted from us. .'Mary has just informed mu of own death," bu exclaimed gaily; fact, sho could not quite believe i I was actually flesh und blood, till had carefully inspected mc by the , lamp. She said, 'You was awful np;' for which I feel exceedingly tcred." Then he added, moro seri' ly, "I am thankful that I came ui tm ' earlier train, or I might indeed now be lying a mangled corpse, like so many other poor creatures. On my arrival in town, I met an old fellow .?flee?, -who insisted upon my dining with him at his elub, and though he tried hard to persuade me to linger over the wine, 1 was not to be enticed; for, as I had told you to expect me this evening, <rhd taking it for granted that you would all miss my sooiety, I hastened away as soon as possible; though had I known that my friends were going to be bo kindly anxious on my account, I certainly would not have subjected them to it." Wo all congratulated him warmly on his providential escape; and Lavi? nia, thinking this a favorable moment for forcing a declaration from her di? latory swain, detained the hand be held out to her and then went off into violent hysterics. Mis. Primrose ex? pressed frantic alarm, declaring that ns ono knew what her dear sensitive child bad suffered in the last few hours and sho implored the captain to speak and soothe ber, und "not let her lie there and die." He looked uncomfortable, and was beginuing to say something expressive of thanks for so much interest on bis behalf, when his glance fell upon n prostrate figure in a dark corner of the room. We bad all forgotten Hilda Maitland, and there she lay, palo and death-like. With Miss Primrose, I, too, thought-now is the time to test his real feelings; so I whispered: "Tho shock of seeing you safe, after tho agonizing news, has been too much for ber, poor girl!" "Is thia really on my ac?ount?" he inquired, with a sudden gleam of hap? piness lighting up bis manly features. I nodded an assent. Then, heedless of the woudoring eyes fixed upon him, ho folded ber in his arms, and laid her drooping head upon bis breast. This scene, which was not lost upon Lavi? nia, made ber redouble her shrioks; and her mother, seeing that the game was up, became positively abusive. "Bring her up to my room," I whis? pered to Captain Vernon, pointing to the still unconscious Hilda, "for it will not do for her to hear all this abominable language." "You are very kind, Mrs. Merton," he replied, huskily; and lifting his preci?os burden tenderly as au in? fant, ho carried her up iu his strong arms, and laid her upon my bed. Mrs. Wilson followed, and begged him to go back and just say a few words to Lavinia; but he sternly re? fused, declaring that Miss Primrose never had been, and never would be, anything to him. So our good hos? tess was obliged to go away in despair, saying, "If poor dear Mr. Wilsor. only knew all tho troubles and annoy anees she had to endure, he wouldn't rest in his cold grave." I, in my turu, began to victimize the poor man, and immediately w< were alone I said: "Captain Vernon, I take a warn interest in this poor girl, and for be sake I wish to know bow all this is t< end." "By her becoming my wife," hi interrupted quickly; "at least," lu added with sudden bitterness, "i she be free-a fact which I mus doubt." I re-assured him on this point b; telling him that the story the "Prim roses" told that day was all a fabrica tion, intended to mislead bim, but firmly believed that the injured gil cared only for him. At this momen she opened her largo blue eyes, am as ber glauco fell upon Vernon the lost their terrified expression, aui closed again as if satisfied, while sh murmured, with a sigh of rebel "Safe! safe!" , This was a stronger proof than an surmise of mine; and the delighte lover clasped her to bim and cs claimed: "Hilda! My own darling! Yo love me iu ?pito of your cruel cole ness, ami now that I know it, notbiu shall come between us. You ui mine!" Perhaps it was against the strie rules of propriety-but I was not n< customeel to English society-so m reaelers must not judge my mora harshly when I confess that at th point I became deeply intcresteel i what was passing without, anel I n loweel the lovers to whisper the mutual tale of doubts anel fears, boj anel happiness; while, with my fa< glued against the window at tho otb? enel of the room, I sought to distil guish tho dusky figures who we: threading their way through the din elismal looking streets on that elreni Novomber night. At length I eli covereel that lovers are tho mo selfish creatures in the world, anel might have kept my station all nigl for aught they cared; so I confronte them, and requesteel tho captain make his adieus. But before I cou get riel of tho tiresome fellow, 1 would make me all sorts of pr?t speeches, which silly little Hrh echoed. At last he went, anel I i aisled upon tho exciteet giri shani my bed with me, instead of returuii to her own attic. At an early hour tho next mornin Mrs. and Miss Primrose decampe saying thoyeoulel not possibly rema another day in a house where sin proceedings were allowed. Mrs. W son was consoled fe>r their loss by tl captain's assurance that, as bc w the cause, she should not be any si ferer; anel I suspect she wa?, on tl contrary, a very considerable gaine * * '* * * * Christmas elny came in clear ai frosty, and very pleasantly we spent it, having unanimously agreed to re fose all invitations. After dinner, under the protection of ? piece of mistletoe, the captain ventured to kiss the ladies all round, beginning with Mrs. Colonel Stacey,* (who re? ceived the salute most graciously, coming from military lips,) and end? ing, last but not least, with bis fair betrothed. A little later, under the exhilarating influence of whisky punch, Messrs. Jones and Brown in? timated that they should likewise avail themselves of the privilege of the season; butas the proposal was not encouraged, Jones was satisfied with paying this delicate attention to his charming Bella; and Brown com? menced and ended with the buxom hostess, who was much gratified, and would doubtless have -been more so had Miss White appeared at all jealous. On New Year's day I dressed dear Hilda in ber bridal robes, and very beautiful she looked. She had made objections, declaring that she was too poor and humble to wed with one well-born and rich; but he reminded her that sho was a lady, and that was all his friends cared about; and that sho possessed his deepest affection and gave him hers in return, and that was all he cared about. The only point ho. would yield was to have the wedding quite private. Every ono in tho house presented the bride with some little parting gift. Mrs. Stacey, always grand, ex? tracted from the depths of a huge chest n very handsome but antiquat? ed Indian scarf. As a poor, toiling, striving music mistress, an orphan and unknown in tho world, Hilda Maitland met with no sympathy or kindness from the very people who suddenly evinced the warmest friend? ship when she was about to become a rich and happy wife, and needed it not. Mr. Jones followed tho good exam? ple, and brought his courtship to a speedy conclusion; so Miss Bella White became Mrs. Jones, aud the happy couple went to reside at Is? lington. The city gentleman (Mr. Brown) failing in his at tempts to in? duce Miss White to sacrifico her free? dom, turned his attention to Widow Wilson, who was not such a bad speculation after all, and they shortly after united their iucomes and inter? ests iu the bonds of matrimony-the widow declaring that "her late la? mented husband would rest moro quietly in his gravo if ho knew she hud found another protector." My husband returned some months earlier than I anticipated, so we settled in a home of our own, and have since had the pleasuro of enter? taining Capt. and Mrs. Vernon and their infant son. Lavinia Primrose, I hear, is at last successful in her matrimonial at? tempts, and is about to become Ba? roness von Schlos8enhausen. Tho baron is a bearded, middle-aged, smoking German, and says that he has hitherto been unjustly kept out of his hereditary rights, which causes him a little inconvenience in the mat? ter of ready money. But all this will shortly be at an end, and he intends to conduct his brido to "Castle Scblossenbansen," where, bo adds, her charming mother will always bo an honored and welcomo guest. The baron is not quite indifferent to tho fair Lavinia's large fortune, so it is to bo hoped hu will realize it; and as she is, in her placo, much elated at the idea of acquiring a title, and living as mistress of a real castle, we trust that she may not, when too late, discover that, like many of the "Chateaux d'Espagne," her husband's ancestral homo is but a heap of CAUTION!
