The earnest solicitation OF her comPan.
ions, and not her own inclination, brought
Augusta to the ball. With wasted frame
md care.worn features, a "wreck OF her
former self" in all, save the still graceful
e.se of her movements, she appeared IN
thot festive scene, once her very element,
but from which she now was completely
Ata late hour, during dance in which
MI were too much interested to observe
apy thing unconnected with their merrl-
ment, Augusta, casting her eyes round the
room, perceived that some one had just
entered the door who seemed buslly en-
paced in greeting his acquaintance. She
caTght a glimpse of him; and who can
picture her feelings, on discovering Ed
,pard Gordonl The effort to support her
self was almost vain. The cotilllon for
supately was finished Just at that time,
and she Immediately seated herself, almost
reeling from the motions of the dance,
i.and with mind nearly distracted from the
conflicting emotions under which 1t la
f6hed. Oh, that he would now bestow
one of those looks Of love which he form
erly lavished so profusely on me, thought
she. as he advanced towards her. So
great was the change which she had un-
dergone since his departure, that few
could have recognized her; but Gordon
had scanned her features too mlnutely
ever to forget them. Time and distance
had not, nor could they erase the impress
sion she had made; though they had SO
far modified its influence as enabled hun
to recover his health. Like the closed
crater, beneath which the internal hre
ever glows, and will again break forth IN
its accustomed violence, so with the lovers
heart: though absence had partially sup
pressed the passion, yet it burned anew, in
all the intensity of its former ardor, at the
sight of his adored object. But why this
melancholy change, thought the anxious
Edward, as he placed himself by her SIDE.
It required no tongue to tell. Ihe re-
sponse was made in that eloquent Ian
guage of the eye which he could not now
mistake.
Night began to encroach on the confines
of day, and the wearied assembly dispers-
ed. No room for doabt and fear was now
left in the breast of Gordon. Love--re-
quilted love, was its only inmate. On the
next day he made the same proposal, the
result of which had before been almost a
death-blow; but which now consummated
his earthly happiness. In few weeks
he was married to his beloved Augusta:
her wasted strength and faded beauty ra-
pidly improved, and soon she became her
former self, and more, for her heart had
passed through the chastening ordeal OF
afliction- -.-----.,-1
After a short delay, they departed for
South Carolina, where, in the town Of
W, Gordon pursued his profession
successfully; and where both passed the
residue of their days in harmony and hap
piness. AMAIOf.
