The accomplished wild flower certainly l?ore a le-ctnhhuice to the lordly protector who had cultivated the tweet wood blossom. Her son, Harry Vincent, certainly I tore no manner of re*?mbhmce to his daik eyed, graceful mother, having the chesnut curls, R. man nose and clear, azure eyes of his Northern father, while in her grandson, the young Harry, to the raven and Iaml?etit eyes of the tropics, was added a dusky tinge, slight, yet unmutoitteMe, of 14* descent fiom the red Cliivbain* of the foiest. This cx-^ cilwl no remark, being of too frequent occurrence, even among the highest classes, to eanse t|?e- least simulation. From her father, who had ever shown a inaiked pn ference for the young Vin cent, Virginia had never liea.d a won! of ctiuthtn with regard to her intercourse with Harry, who, from his earliest k rylmod, had been a constant playmate of hern, ever received with the pleased enters of her gentle mother, and the n? pleasant welcon e of her approving father.

Chords thenare in the human heart, strangely, sweet ly musical, hut which arc only renched by accident?chords that would have remained mute to passionate and earn est appeals, yet respond, giving forth their melody to some slight ami ran loin touch, revorbhting long, and si long, and deep. The pure *{.?(erfv regard of Virginia's lioari for Harry Vinci lit now Hist assumed n diffluent form, revealing i:?elf, as all great truilis hive done, by eb a nee. She thought on him?young, gifted, (oiling; his form rose op before her there, in his graceful beauty. Her mind was ma?lc up and decided foiever: "I feel grateful, Mr. Barret'?very grateful, but you must not deny me the privilege of toiling for independence. The leferencca that- I can bring from former teachers will procure mo a place as one iti a school. My independence is now my all; do Uol ask ine to resign it." // i Long and earneatlv (lie merchant pleaded ; but though Harry had never by word told her that he regarded her as other than a sinter,.ftill did his slight graceful foim rise between her and the man who would have made her the wealthy possessor of treane w hereby she might have placed affluence within his reach. Mr, Barret i??o to go. There was a painful pause, broken by his fa! tering voice: ** Virginia, are rou too proud to ac rept assistance from me t l>o not refuse ine the slight gratification?at least, do not make any objection.? Whenever I can serve you, come and let me know. You know where to find me. After this, I may not coro^niere again." % M I will omie to you.

Again panting h?a kerchief acroaa Ida eyes, the wealthy merchant left the door, and went aw ay sad, and lose forever. A year from that time, the merchant sat at Ida desk in lii? piivate <flfce, when a elcik asked to ace him. With a quick hound of the heart, he dinned nt one* that it must be Virginia, and re^ l!

She lie I come to A"k n favor, yet he felt, to hme trusted himself with another look at her, would have made him Mi* suppliant. lie turned abruptly and went to the desk. u Wonld Mr. Vincent accept n lonn fVdm tne?
