(From the Court Gazette.)
The O'Donnells of Kildane had long been celebrated for
marrying heiresses, and no less celebrated for spending their
fortunes. The revolutions of the family afforded the most
perfect illustration of the revolutions of fortune's wheel, and
had all the world beside declared that the goddess had ceased
to be a fickle one, she would still retained her ancient cha-
racter in the neighbourhood of Kildane. At one time that
ancient family might be seen in a state of the highest splen-
dour, with the most dashing equipage, finest stud, and best
pack' of hounds in the county, caressed at court, and their
movements chronicled in the fashionable journals of the day,
—at another, in circumstances somewhat similar to those of
a border Baron, when an Eugiish raid had deprived him of
all but his square tower, and the influence of his name—the
valuable portions of their lands sold, the worthless part
mortgaged—the park a wilderness, the gardens desolate, and
the mansion itself proclaiming the arrears of their glazier's
bill,—when, just as every body believed that irretrievable
ruin had at length fallen upon toe house, the aspect of things
would suddenly change,—and the cheer in the valley, and the
beacon on the hill, welcome another heiress to the hall of Kil-
dane. No family, in the days of their prosperity, were ever
more popular than the O'Donnells, and when their ill days
fell upon them, he would have been a bold man who, in the
county of C would have uttered a whisper against
their name. They 'had been in truth a generous-minded race
of men, whatever might have been their failings towards
themselves or their families, they had always had the credit
of possessing those qualities of heart, which the mass of man-
kind are often more ready to admire, than the less showy,
but more substantial virtues of character. And thus it had
been with several generations of the O'Donnells until their
name had passed into a proverb, not in their own country
alone, but even the courtly circles of London, where ladies
still remembered how wealthy beauty of their early acquaint.
ance had been borne away in triumph by a member of that
enterprising family; as well as the story their mothers had
used to tell, of a celebrated heiress of their day having eloped
with au O'Donnell, when the lawyers were preparing her
settlements of marriage with a Duke.
Edgar O'Donnell—the representative of the family at the
period of our tale—was a youth of three or four and twenty,
and, like most of his ancestors at that age, had but the slen-
der wreck of a large fortune for an inheritance. To be sure,
he had also—had he chosen to assume it—a medley of names,
patrician and plebian—from " Howard" to II iggins,"—the
melancholy records of departed properties, to the acquisition
of which an tissumption of names had in many cases been a
condition, and which—had he now borne them all—would
have given him a name, as he exnressed it, "long enough
for a fishing-rod ; but these he prudently renounced, prefer-
ing to enter life with the single title of " O'Donnell et Kil-
dane." Edgar, too, trap a general favourite in his own
country—a bold hunter, an unerring shot, and a pleasant
companion : the country Gentleman were delighted' with his
society, while his fine figure, dark eyes, and expressive fea-
tures, never failed to procure a gladsome smile of greeting
from their daughters. At college, also, he had been extremely •
popular, and, without having by any means the character of a
hard-reader, had taken considerable honours—his wit, viva-
city, warmth of heart, and chivalry of character, making him
as much beloved there as he was in his own neighbourhood.
But Edgar was too proud to study for any profession, and,
being too poor to lead a country life iu a manner suited to
his own and his neighbours' ideas of the dignity of his fatuity,
he broke up his little establisment at Kildane, and proceeded
to London, without having any settled object in doing so,
beyond the necessity he conceived himself to he under—of
leaving home. His friends, however, thought differently, and
his departure was no sooner known in the county of C
than it was on all hands asserted, that O'Donnell was gone to
England to marry an heiress.
Edgar was well received in London. He had the advan-
tage of being related to several families of distinction then
in town, through whom he obtained an easy introduction to
the leading circles of the Metropolis, and being neither of an
age, nor by nature, ill-disposed to festivity, he entered freely
and willingly into all the gay scenes which were thus opened
to him. Agreeable and polished manners, as well as a hand-
some person, he seemed to have inherited as a birthright ; and
these combined with a highly cultivated mind, an exquisite
taste, and a lively and gay humour, fitted him well for becoming
a man of fashion, and gave him, in an eminent degree, the
power of pleasing. But Edgar could not conceal from him-
self that in many a quarter there was a guarded jealousy of
his intimacy; that he never danced or waltzed with a lady
having the slightest pretension to be considered an heiress,
but a prudent mother or cautious father regarded him with a
look of uneasy watchfulness; and that however much he
might be admired, and his society to a certain point culti-
vated, it was evident that the brand of his family had been
set upon his brow, and that the handsome Irishman was
universally believed to be a fortune hunter. The knowledge
of this Eager et first only laughed at, for, in truth, he was
by no means worthy of the character; but, ultimately, it
became a fruitful source or annoyance to him ; he began to
think that his intimacy was avoided in a greater degree than
it really was. He became morbid and unhappy, occasion-
ally even peevish and irritable; and the change in his spi-
rits and manner neither escaped obiervalion nor comment.
Some affirmed that he was in love—but that, for a fortune
hunter, was extremely improbable; others said he had lost
his property—but that again, for a person who was supposed
to have no property, was even impossible; the gossips were
at fault, and Edgar, unknown to himself, was fast becoming
an object of general attention and interest.
One evening, at the Countess of M 's, Edgar was
leaning listlessly against one of the pillars of the saloon, tor-
menting himself with the reflections to which his mind had
become a prey, when he perceived that he had been regarded
for some time with a look of considerable attention by a
young lady—a stranger to him—at no great diatunce from
the place whet ehe stood. Her eyes were as dark and lus-
trous as his own; and when their glance met, there almost
seemed to he a sympathy between them: her hair was of the
most perfect jet, and falling in rich clusters over her neck
and shoulders, gave an appearance of girlishness to her slight
but exquisitely moulded figure ; and although her features
were somewhat irregular, they had a charm in their expres-
sion which well repaid their want of harmony. She smiled
at the remark of some one near her, and never had Edgar
seen a sweeter smile, or a more beautiful play of features.
The sparkling black eye—the parting lips disclosing the
whitest teeth—the perfect brightness of look, as it unrestrains
edly indexed each passing emotion—gave a striking effect to
of whom Edgar
however,ears her senior, and
tier whole countenance, and Edgar was sufficiently aroused
from his lethargy to inquire the name of the lady whose
appearance had so much interested hint. He soon learnt
that she was the daughter of a General Manners, whose
brother had lately died in India, leaving an immense fortune
his
tnoi nieces—not
t o inquired—butim e ofladyto her, her,
sonie y
by no means possessed of equal charms. "
By heaven !
am glad she is nut the heiress," he involuntarily exclaimed,
sister, n ot
with some bitterness of tone, an expression which was either
overheard or repeated, as it quickly reached the ears of Emily
Manners herself, who heard it with a blush : but soon after
she left the saloon, and, somewhat to the mortification of
Edgar, did not return again that evening.
Not many days after this, however, Edgar met Emily. at
one of those quiet evening parties whet e every hod-
s is brought
into the immediate society of each other, and as he was not
aware that the expression he had made some nights before
had been reported to her, he was at uo small loss to account
for a slight embarrassment which he perceived in her inan-
tier, when they were introduced to each other: but this soon
disappeared, and Edgar was much delighted with her con-
versation, as he had before been struck with her beauty.
There was a vivacity and naivete' in her manner, which to
hint had an irresistible charm, and were well calculated to
call forth the engaging qualities of mind and character with
which he was so eminently endowed. Ile seemed, indeed,
to forget that their acquaintance was but of a few hours' ex-
istence, and spoke with a natural ease and freedom which
perhaps few men under similar circumstances would have
ventured to assume; but it was evident that Emily was
neither displeased nor offended with his manner; and Edgar,
at parting, began to find that his mind and feelings were be-
coming engrossed with matters very different from those
which had lately so unpleasantly occupied them,
Emily was now frequently met by young O'Donnell, and
as his nature was ill suited to disguise of any kind, it soon
became generally known that he was her admirer, a circum-
stance which greatly surprised many who had formed ideas
of his character, to'which such an event was altogether irre-
concilable. But the world is seldom deceived without having
its revenge in some way or other, and Edgar, as well as the
lovely girl whom he now passionately loved, became the sub-
ject of many invidious remarks.
-"Twill be a fine .match," said one, cc between an Irish
adventurer and a penniless bride—l really wonder what Ge-
neral Manners thinks of the matter."'
" Perhaps, after all," said another, "it may be the eldest
sister 'to whom young O'Donnell is really paying his ad-
&eves. Rely upon it, he is not of a faMily to play a foul's
game in matrimony."
" Be that as it may," observed a third, "is it not a glaring
piece of imprudence, on her part, to flirt as she does with
O'Donnell. 'l'o be sure he seams to. be a pleasant sort of
young man, and .
all that, but in my opinion Emily Manners
is carrying matters much too far."
But these, and similar remarks, were little heeded by the
p arties whowere the subjects of them. Edgar was happy by
Emily's side, and she, on the other hand, hardly sought to
disguise the pleasure she found in his society; while, to add
to his felicity, he had been fortunate enough to obtain the
regard of General Manners, who now, as the 12th of August
was fast approaching. gave him a pressing invitation tospend
a few weeks grouse shooting, on an estate which the General
had in Wales, and for which he was about to set out with his
family, an invitation which, we need hardly add, young
Edgar willingly accepted. "
How lovely is a sunset in tbis romantic country of yours,
my Emily," said Edgar O'Donnell to the fair girl that hung
upon his "arm, as they wandered together by the banks of the
Wye, one soft Autumnal evening, a few weeks after the
period to which we have above referred. " How impressive
is Nature's stillness amid majestic objects like those which
surround us. It is the hour, too, which the poets say is the
fitting time for a tale of love; and, Emily, I am going to
prove its virtues."
" Nay, Edgar, that you have .done already," replied the
maiden, raising her soft black eyes to his.
Yes, inv Emily; but it mar be what I must now com-
municate will need every aid which love can supply. I re-
proach myself that I have not spoken, or, indeed, even
thought of itsehefore. Emily, when you promised to become
my bride, you-knew nothing of my worldly means; but it is
now my duty to tell you what they are, that you may know
the full extent of the sacrifice you make. But my task is, a
painful one; and before I proceed, promise me, my Emily
that. I have your pardon for having delayed its performance
so long."
" I will, on one condition."
" Name it, Emily."
" That you will pardon me for having delayed to make a
similar disclosure to yourself."
" The eammission is granted • but it seems a needless one."
" Say not so. I have concealed from you, and, by the in-
dulgence of my sister, from the world also, that which many
ladies ate glad to publish. 'Twits a whim—a_ caprice_7-cal:
it what you will; but I resolved never to be known to the
world as an heiress."
" An heiress, Emily?"
" I was my- uncle's favourite, amid early knew that his
wealth would be mine ; but that knowledge gave the but little
pleasure : on the contrary, 'it was sometimes the source of
pain, as it awakened fears that the possessions and the pos-
sessor would be confounded together. But no more of this
now. Ilave I your forgiveness, Edgar ?"
Emily, you have. stripped us of laurels. I imagined that
I was the first O'Donnell who had not been—"
" Been what,. my Edgar ?"
" We have no name for it in Ireland ; and to use the term
applied to it in England we consider the highest breach of
good breeding. Trust me, dearest Emily, the title will be
freely conferred upon me in London."
" It cannot be one of reproach, Edgar, if it be applied to

you."
" In truth, it is somewhat of that nature, but its patent
reaches not the bride;, and whatever may be the opinion of
the world, Emily Manners shall never have cause to regret
that she gave her hand to a.' fortune hunter.' "

A GOOD PARLIAMENT MAN.—" I think," said a former,
" I should make a good Parliament Man, for I use their lan-
guage. I received two bills the other day, with requests for
immediate payment ; the one I ordered to be laid on the
table—the other to be real that day six months !"
