A TALE OF WOMAN'S INFLUENCE. BY ITIRS. MOSSEY. [Concluded.] 'Thorp,' said Plaeare, 'I have read yon the description; it did awaken my enthusiasm, and had 1 been young, might have inspired me with great euriosity ! But I remembered the loan, and pressingly kept myself alive to the subject.' Said Fanny, 'I have not the means to redeem the pledge I gave you; my banker has this day returned my check, and written upon it, overdrawn. - , -T I rose from my seat and demanded wlien the payment would be made/ 'When Frank, my brother, arrives in Paris,' replied the woman. ' It may be twenty days from this date.' I would have asked how such a liability could be met by him there better than here; for his loss of credit must have preceded him. Hut Fanny proceeded: "My history is not an every day affair, Mr. Broker. My life has been an eventful one.? My father served under Napoleon, the greatest man history records with his famous exploits. j I wis married young, very young" said she! with emphasis. "My husband was a private, but originally belonged to the Cossair regiment. He had money, power and beauty?but what am I saying?these diamonds which once made the tiara for my brow, this burning brow, O, take them away for your security," and so saying, she threw them with a violent force against my person. "They are poor, foolish embelishments for a throbbing brain, and a heart that will palpitate let me go where I may. You call this world a theatre: O. I have found it so t a set of gil Jed shows, of mimic sights; a bitter cheat that lias preyed on my senses, and made me dizzy in the whirl of the mighty vortex, ambition. Money?paltry sound! take the bauble," and site threw a leathern purse to my head; but alas! it was empty ! Presently a tap was heard at the door. Tho queenly woman answered the sound, and with such a bewitching air she courtesicd the outsider to come in, that 1 envied him the look. She beckoned me into tho adjoining boudoir. 1 entered it. "Take," said she, "that tiara of diamonds. They cost three thousand rupees, but they are now worthless to me as the decayed noseguy yonder." Her eyes were fiery, and 1 knew she was mad! I took my security and lied. I walked into the jcwellei's and ascertained I was secuie; hut what care 1 fora maniac a jewels'! 1 want the doubloons! Had I not seen enough ? I turned the subject. Said I, 'Placare, your foot troubles you, let me apply some liniment" He seemed grateful, and permitted me to do so. 1 then returned home. CHAPTER II. The image of Fanny still haunted me. That wilful and giddy brain disturbed my slumbers. I /iniiM not oit otilf trnrlr oiwl a5 I liuil'iul from my window 1 saw the veritable Broker working his way to my door. I received him graciously, for there was an anxiety in his countenance. " I never make calls," said he ; "it is fifteen years since I sought anybody's friendship; but I find a strange luxury in telling the history of Fanny. 1 received this note last evening since i saw you. It was delivered by the same man who gave me |>eruiission to see her in her chamber, ilere, take iL' It read thus: Mu.ns. 1'lacare:?The agitated manner in which 1 received your note, yesterday, demands an apology. I was under the influence ot chloroform, to assuage the twinges of violent pain. I find my tiara ol diamonds is missing; a crown winch I would not exchange for the diadem of a queen. Did you take it from me, or did 1 in a moment of unguarded frenzy throw it to you? My brain still swims, and 1 know not what i did; but Mr. Broker, 1 am not to be treated like a wanton bird of prey, over whom you may tire a volley that will forever crush me. 1 am a woman, but true to my trust, I became the endorser of Frank's note, but the doubloons you handed us are untouched in my possession still. I will not explaiu to you further than to say I wish the tiara returned, and your money shall be forwarded the pres . -i \r l.1 em luonm. luurs, rAiunx unc.x. "What did you do?" said I, impatiently. "Why, I told -he bearer when the doubloons were returned, the tiara of diamonds would be sent to the owner. She is a mad woman. 1 have ascertained iL 1 called on the woman with whom she is at board, and foufld she was brought to her in this way." An advertisement headed, "Board wanted for I a young gentleman and his sister in a quiet family," met my eye in a public newspaper.? "I replied," proceeded the landlady, and an interview was agreed upon. The young man came, but his sister did not appear till every thing assumed a homelike and quiet, yet elegant style. She was landed from a carriage, and proceeded to her room. Her lood was sent to her, that and the next da}', and when 1 tapped at her door, I was refused admission. The young inan said his sister was ill?slightly so, and no more was thought of it. The third day, a physician cainc whom I met in the entry. He told mc the object of his visit was to I'fAm tho hrpjist of tlip hid v. t'Aiiuui u uaiiuui iiviu i/mw ? ^ ? tliat he should apply chloroform, and wished me to be in attendance as 1 might be wanted. I obeyed, and heavens 1" said she, raising both hands, "what a divinity was before me! Was she an angel, or was she a mortal such as i had never looked upon ? She seemed the personification of kindness, and mildness and love beamed from her eye. She spoke faintly, and i said she was ready. 1 The sponge was applied to her face, having been dipped in ether or chloroform, and soon, she was quiet as a sleeping babe. The opersK tion was a severe one, but skillfully managed*;the patient was put to bed, and Frank was assiduous in his attentions. By slow degrees, she recovered, and a perfect mystery hangs over her history to this day. Her expenses arc paid regularly, she is a good inmate and a profitable one, but 1 can obtain no clue to her history. "And why did Frank leave her for a European tour?" X inquired. "A TeHfr 'crttne, stating a friend in England had died, and requesting his immediate attenof a large estate, to which < but whaHM'WKfei^Sfi'e of money? When I opened her Hureirti the morning of the operation, hundreds of doubloons lay in a drawer which ' I quiekly closed." ' "4?d *1," cbtftinned Placare, "started from my seat, and left the landlady. My cariosity was fired to such a pitch that I knew not the result of my conduct, and I abruptly left the room." "What, Placare, sh'ill you do? Permit me to tell my husband the secret, that he may advise." Placare resented the idea; but what true woman keeps another man's secrets without communicating them to her better half? That husband was intensely interested in the tale. A week passed on, and at the expiration of it a carriage stood before Placare's door, and a card was sent by the coachman having ' Fanny Grey' written upon it, to the door of the broker. She demanded access. It was granted, one was attired in a plain riding dress, her persuasive manner* still the same. "I came," said she, "to demand my jewels. They are the vestiges of royalty ; the relics of a set that once dazzled the eyes of crowned heads." "Hut the doubloons, ere I surrender the jewels," I said imperatively. "Reach within the bag," suidshe to the coachman. "He did so, and I counted the doubloons. The very same 1 had loaned were returned with interest. "She took me by the hand. 'Sir,' said she, in a trembling tone, "I am a stranger, a foreigner, but a true woman. My history has ten thousand fibres which wringiny heart Pardon me if I express myself somewhat freely. A < money broker has little sympathy for wounded hearts in my native Paris. In America, tho i melting eye tells he has a heart I am uow ' placed beyond the reach of want and the tongue 1 of calumny. My brother has persuaded me. i i leave to-morrow for my native country. I am not unknown to fame, but what care I for pal- ; try honors? My heart is giddy. My best wishes, Mons. l'lacare, attend you; adieu," i and she glided from my presence?forever ? O, no, the steamer which sailed found me ou the I wharf, and from a coach alighted Fanny Grey, i She stepped in the noble ship, herself a noble ! wreck. She is now lost forever from mortal i ken." j CHAPTER III. A few days after Tanny Cray hud sailed, i the coachman who usually attended her appeared before Placare's door with a bundle in his hand, it contained a russia dressing gown ] not much the worse of wear, and upon it was ] pinned the following note: i " Mons, Placare."?I know nothing of your i ability to dress like a courtier?but 1 have ouly I seen you in faded habiliments?will vou accept i this dressing gown from your obliged friend. F. Gkey. Placare was not half so much pleased with 1 his tiara of diamonds for security, as with this ! expression of Funny's regard, it was singular ( enough to watch the workings of his mind. He 1 seemed breaking through the crust which gold 1 had hardened, and the gende nature of woman, 1 whom he had so shunned and slighted, seemed to part the cloud which had hung in such mas- : sive blackness over his past life. Till recently he had been but little interested in any thing save the profits of his trade. He had lived alone, J _1 -a. 1 2 j. L ! 1 A auu gioaieu in secret over nis amasseu treasures, but since bis removal, there had been a break in i his t'ubits: the chain was unriveted, and the portion of his nature that was human, slowly unfolding itself. < Of late, he had come in contact with a difle- I rent order of females. They were of a loftier stamp, whose descent front wealth was not oc i casioned by profligacy or folly. Poverty, sometimes seems the decree of Heaven to show us how we can struggle with untoward events. No man, however hardened, can look upon the struggling nature of feeble woman resolutely coming to the strife, and never surrendering ?,o the enemy, without being moved. His better nature will come out, and thus did the Brokers heart become slowly regenerated. Fanny Grey was tho awakener of his sympathies, but the wedgo was thus entered, and the cavity never again closed. We have only sketched her character to show his dormant feelings were aroused, hut others of a similar stamp of goodnea.t, if not greatness, waited on the money Broker. Pardon me, reader, if 1 iullct upon you the outlines of one more history. Go with me up a narrow staircase, into the fourth story of au old building in this city, where in a smail but neat apartment stands a female cutting out linen. She is a seamstress, but 110 common woman. She is plainly dressed. Her auburn hair is smoothly parted upon a lofty forehead, which nature designed for a noble head. Her eyes are as clear as crystal, and the plain white curtains seem to throw an angelic loveliness over her face. There is the most unscrupolous neatness, turn your eye which way you will, only a few cuttings of the work have fallen upon the floor, and they are frequently gathered up. The money Broker fcpccj.Ved a note to call upon Miss Belinda. She *nas a mother who was feehle, and brother who is dissolute. The yearnings of affection in the parent's heart will not let that son go. lie conies home reeling, but a Led is provided him, and kind treatment is ever shown bitn in the midst of his waywardness. He is a college bred boy, and luis been in an office in this city : but he is sadly disjointed from his profession by bad habits. They were once rich, and anticipated no downfall. But then the father failed. * ? t i .t - 1 ? and sickened and died ; aim ine prouu spim 01 Belinda could not bear dependence, and so she took a room and began the business of shirtmaking?-an honorable, but slow method to gain inouey. Yet there was no outlay of capital to learn a trade, no swinging sign to announce tlwtshe was forced.to earn her baily'bread, and this is a great desideratum to a proud Bpi* ?Igar gazers could not stand in her doornd point to her fall, and then^speak of r days, as if her improvidenc^ba&eansed the changer-oh no, her room was too elevatjd for that, she took the heavy linen, cot into form, sewed it up with the nicest care, and returned it in the evening to the employer, received her compensation, and nobody cared or knew about ber history. It is ciiri<>us to observe how quickly the friendship of better days will perish, when adverse ones succeed ! ' 'TBut to my story. Edwin had been imprudent, and having learned nothingjn the school of poverty, had foolishly purchased an Opera cloak frr which payment was now due. This was the cause of Belinda's note to the Broker. Bbe wanted but the sum of ten dollars to complete the amount, and as security pledged the golden cup of her father's miniature, and a diamond ring, the relfcs of form'er greatness. Placards heart was again in its right place. He uttered no heart-rending words about the improprieties of conduct, but made out the sum and took (be securities home. It would have done you good to have watched his countenance, tohavoooru pured it with the sullen face he'brought to his low room some months ago! Again he called on me, and narrated his fresh tale of suffering. How his nature developed itself in words! " What," said he," is it nothing to mdfo witness this spectacle of changing life, to see these silent, but death consuming sorrows; to behold the youthful child of promise preying upon his grey haired mother; to see the dark brooding of despair, the kindlings of hope that will spoa * die oat; to witness starvation, brutality," failure! Oh, I could tell such tragedies as would make hearts bleed with anguish. A mathecjn win attempting to palliate a eon's offence^ a lovesick maiden asking for means to obtain the miniature likeness of some lover whom-the parents have ejected from their doors; these, yes, and then times an many more 'do I,' and ! have lived to witness. They rise in my dreams, tbey come in spectral array iu my walking moments; the sound of anguish and woo are all the spectacles. I have known or heard for year*; 1 now sigh for a better life. At times money sccins to me the only good; I clihg to it, because I 6ee so much of its power to give enjoyment where distress only abounded?but I liave not used it aright; I have boeu hard and inexorable to many a poor deud debtor. ' Fanny Grey showed me I had a conscience, aud Belinda that I had a heart. I whispered words of cheer to the Mohev Broker. I told him of recovery from miserly joiulage, and what think you he whispered in wj ear? He suggested the word marriage, and' n connexion with the word, he spoke of Jie!inthi. 1 Was struck beyond uttoranck. In my fancy, I saw the spindly old withered wreck of a man, changed into a shapeablc nwiss of pure humanity?his hodden gray garments were thrown aside, a neat broadcloth suit was his attire?he moved from his low Jingy room, and rented a spacious House, anil furnished it with becoming simplicity and neatness, and when Miss Belinda called to return the small loan he received her most graciously. But her youthful spirit disdained the alliance, she would not marry for gold, and she knew not the Money Broker's heart! But he grew more und more humanized, and when once the affections are thus changed, we are completely transformed, and the soul 3ends out its sympathies like the viue its tendrils, and it seeks something whereon to cling. His search was not in vain, for a card soon announced that 'Mr. and Mrs. Placare would be at home' on an appointed evening. There we found a trim man, clothed, and in his right mind, and with feeling emphasis did he pay this tribute to woman. ^ 'The power of female endurance, the unfaltering hope of her notftre, the trust which outlives all earthly discouragements unmanned; or rather, I may say, transformed me into a state of existence.' nrnfudiilnn I linvfi stnrrandered: but from it 1 have burned the highest lesson of wisdom. Vet my change was more gradual than would be believed. I often loathed the manner of life I lived, ami felt how useless was gold when it was the idol of one's life. The contemptuous 6neer in Fanny Grey's countenance, as sho exclaimed, 'gold, a worthless bauble/ had to mo even then a deep significance. I resolved to break away from Us treachery, and exchange the miser for the man. I had bat one worshipper of mammon in my trade, for money does necessarily produce such results upon character?it is only hoarding for the love of accumulalion. Thank heaven, I have learned to lice just before I die. 'And Placare did you ever hear a word of Fauny Grey's arrival in her native land?' "Oh yes, 1 called upon the Captain of the ship. He spoke of her as one of the loveliest and gentlest ot her sex; but she surmea the arrival but three days?the cancer ate into her vitals, and she died the day she embraced her brother Frank.' !V . . f \3 i J 1 ..*1 i.
