seemed however, embraced them both, and
then sat down evidently COMPOUNDED.
How different the scene when the aged pa.
rents of Cara folded their child IN u long en-
brace to their bosoms, and then, as they re-
turned her weeping TO the arms Of him who
was now to be her protector and guide, how
tervent the prayer for their mutual happiness!
But truce with tears. The young bride
has already shed enough and soon, leaning on
the arm Of Walter, she is gliding like syph
through the circle of loving hearts with smile
and kind word for all.
And if the consciousness Of having rendered
two amiable beings happy can confer bliss, then
were the feelings hich stirred the heart OF
Hester Lee to be envled for she it was who
had done it all. Sacrificing for his happiness
her own too partial sentiments for Walter
Newman, it was Hester who OH receiving his
frank communication hastened to the village
of E, TO add to his, her persrasons, her
resistless arguments, that Cara might consent
to an immediate union and it was Hester, who
now with gift Of half her fortune, rendered
the portionless bride more acceptable in the
eyes of the sordId tuther-in-law. Her loving,
generous heart shune from out her dove-like
eyes, as seated by the side of Mr.. Newman she
endeayored to soften the resentment still rank
ling within his bosom against his son--by des-
cantng upon the many virtues and surprising
loneliness of the innocent Cara, drawing pic
ture OF the future so glowing with happiness
for him, of which Cara was still the principal
figure, that insensibiy the eyes Of the old gen
tleman beamed more kindly, and the scowl on
his features relaxed as he watched the graceful
movements and heard the sweet voice Of her
whom, without one shadow of envy for her
happier lot, the noble Hester, SO highly eulo-
gsed.
After the wedding guests had retired, each
happy youth and maiden with generous share
of cake to court the fairy visions of Queen Nab,
Mr.. Newman found himself for the first time
alone with his son. The opportunity was not
to be lost Assuming therefore all the dignity,
with the deprecatory tone of a much aggrieved
parent, tins bIametess father read Walter hom-
lily upon the sin Of misunderstanding up
on the contempt which every noble mind must
ever feel for person who could condeScend to
chicanery to effect their objects.
"And this, Walter, you have done" he con-
tinued; deceived your father Waltcr-de-
ceived me into the belief that you were about
to marry Miss Lee; entced me hither under
that belief, and then before my very face have
have had the audacity to stand up and bestow
your hand upon poor village girl! ask you,
sir" he added in a lawyer key, 'what have you
to offer in your defence?"
Walter who had patiently and respectfully
listened to his long harangue, SO at variance
with the practice of his parent, replied
81 acknowledge all my dear sr-aH. | ac-
knowledgeit was nv intention TO marry Miss
Campbell when ! addressed to you the letter
and acknowledge that by chicansry my object

meaning, "Fleece wiit lose has thousand dOllmsr'
Alas for the oratory of Mr.. Newman! The
thermometer raised so high by the glow of con-
scious rectitude, at this chilling remark of his
son, fell at once below zero!
