host of the hereditary and darker pas
|sions. Pardon my freedom, Temple,
II would not have you check your am
Ibition, but only the wilder impulses of
lit. An attachment to being so gen.
tile and good as Mary Grey, will have
IA most saIutary influence over you.
Never heed her want Of education
you can instruct her and form her taste
iby your own, since to beauty she adds
aolcility, modesty, and talent. l bless
the hour which made you acquainted
with her. Forget your pride and you
will be happy--happy and contented
as am-indulge it, and your ruin will
be inevitable, your fall will be like
that Of I.ucifer, never to rise again.
"You say true," cried, Temple who
was then in paroxysm oflove, for with
him all passions were carried to ex-
tremity. "Dear Mary! tonight has
been an suspicious night for me as well
as for you. What care | for the frowns
fmy ambitious father! In this hall
tonight through my means you met
the accomplished, the educated, and
! the fashionable; and without accom-
plishment, education or celebrity, did
you not bear away the wreath ofpraise
from them9 Oh! Mary! i'll am yet
ambitious, it is for thee-it is that l
may bear the laurel wreath and fling
it at thy feet! If sigh for wealth It's
to deck thy matches person with the
pearls of the East ;-if for repose, it is
that you may enjoy it. Who shall
ohide me! who shall dare to check the
impetuous torrent of my impetuous
love9 Ipause for a reply, and in the
unbroken silence is my triumph
The friends parted, Stanley to pre-
lpare for his departure for home on the
morrow, and Temple Manners to
dream Of the young beauty to whom
he had surrendered his affections.
Pride, ambition, daring. fell before the
magic Of her smile, virtuous impulses
long forgotten, rekindled under the
softness of her eye, ard the enthusiastic
young man pictured a dream Of happi-
ness which many, all anticipate, but
which few, alas? are fated to realize.
Mary Grey was an orphan and in
reduced circumstances. Her aunt
with whom she resided was poor and
able to do but little for herself, while
the industry and exertions ofher beice
contributed to the support Of both.
Mary had but one other near relative,
her brother Henry, a passed Midship-
man, young man OF good heart aud
princirles, but possessed ola most inn
petuous temper. Waves and noun.
tains interposed to hold them from
leach other, but it did not sever the
hearts of the brother and sister or pre-
vent a kindly correspondence. As
Mary grew up to years Of maturity and
Exquisite beauty, the anxious fears Of
Henry increased, and he lamented a
thousand times, the fate which forced
him to absent himself from his dear
Mary, whom he thus left unprotected
at what he justly considered the most
'critical time Of her life. Chance
threw this fair girl into the path Of
Temple Manners; she was young, in
teresting and fascinating, she was affec-
tionate and enthusiastic, the result IS
known. Manners became her daily
visitor, her friend, her bcnefactor, her
lover. Numerous were the jests pas
sed BY his acquaintance In his devo-
ton Of Mary, a thousand times did his
angel lmPel him to the verge Of insani-
tv, but as often did he quell the tenn
per in bis breast for the sake of her to
whom his tranquility was life itself.
The petty insults of these despicable
creatures Of folly and vice, were moth
ing to the appalling opposition he was
doomed to meet with in another quar-
ter. We allude to the father of Tenn
pie, who. on hearing the course pursu-
ed BY his son was determined to check
him at once in his career.-The elder
Manners was ambitious and very
proud man. He had views oflife, and
rank. and honour, incompatible with
happlncss-and feeling how very fruit
less were his attempts to discover peace
he very charitably determined that his
son should pursue the same dark ca.
reers with himself-the same track,
d-soiated by evil passions, and termin-
ating in destruction. He could have
seen him enter the brothel with smile |
Of equanimity, he saw him giving up
his heart to a virtuous girl with the
malice of fiend. One morning Tenn
pie was summond to the library. where
