knew this, and my daughter soon got to know it, and
both as obedient as could wish. My will was the

We had thus lived happily together, till my daugh-
had arrived at about her eighteenth year. Intelligent
and accomplished in face and person, she

who saw her. had paid much attention to the de-
veopemen and improvement of her physical existence

1t will of course be expected that she could not
long remain unnotced by the young men of our neigh
borhood and such was the fact, for she had many
admirers among them; unfortunately, however, the
youth that gained most favor her eyes, was the
of the most bitter and hated enemy had in the world
OF this deadly hatred, which existed between me and
his father, Henry Merton was well aware, and fear
ing that his visits might not be agreeable to me, and
dsapproved of by his father, he seldom came to my
house. My daughter and he, however, frequently met
abroad | had always intended to choose, myself, a
husband for my daughter, yet never intended to
pei her to marry any one, who was absolutely dsa-
greeable to her, Convinced that knew more of the

SELF | believe now however, that my notions were
erroneous on that subject at least, by my strict adj

happy and Inflated acquaintance, between Henry Mer-

time kept in ignorance of them. did, however, get
information of it, but, at first, / scarcely could be
made to believe, that my daughter, upon whom had
bestowed SO much care and attention to render her
mind superior to every thing like deception or dupic
ity would thus endeavor to act unfairly with and de-
ceive her own father. My indignation and anger
were raised to the highest pitch. With all my rage
however, the only thing did, by way of resentment,
was to send word to Merton, that would chastse
him, if ever heard of his offering to speak to my
daughter, and forbid Ellen to leave the house or
grounds attached to it, unless with my special per-
mission.
Matters went on much to my satisfaction for some
weeks, and thought should have further trouble
with the affair; when night, unable to sleep,
rose from my bed and went to window that looked
