She was not perhaps beautiful, and attract

upon her face when in repose, and you
would not care for a second look. But

wildering eye TO yours; watch the blush
upon her check, the flush upon her lip, and
the charm-like, changeful expression Of
every feature. and you would beh d II

ring, spiritual loveliness, with the hues Of
heaven upon her brow, and its Turing low
light in her eye. Most keenly she felt
the worlds GOODNESS and neglect, but all too
proud to heed it. Her sufferings were all
in her own high heart; none knew of them,
nor would they, though it broke with its
many miseries. She would have scorned
attentions, the sympathy, she would have
spurned the heart that was not freely off:

gentle and delicate thing. Crush it not

Though The brain be ali on fire.
Proud and passionless, and free;

As the mechanic lifted his eyes, they
met the sweet, sympathizing glance of
Catharlne. There were tears there
there were tears In his, too; and ere he had
time to reply to his cousin, he resumed.
But how is your wrist now? Is the
pain intense? Clinton laid aside his pa
per.
No, it is almost well,' was uttered in
subdued tone, and rising, passed his arm
through that of his companion, and they
left the room together. Catharine chan
ged her seat, and took up the paper Court
land had been perusing. And there was
Dickens beautiful and touching descrip-
ton of Florence in the sick chamber of
her brother, little Paul. And this had
called up sad feelings and painful rcmem-
brances, for more than once had she seen
his blanched lip quiver while he was rea-
ding. Perhaps he had thus hovered near
the death bed of some loved one.
The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1849-05-17

And what of the mechanic. He passed
on amid the crowd unknown and unno-
ticed, and uncared for. And not yet
wholly. Edgar was often by his side,
Lawrence, too seemed anxious to serve
him. But he. sought not the society or
the attentions of any one. He might be
all too proud for that.
Yet he dressed with the most fastideous
elegance, and his every movement was of
polished grace, his every word was music.
And the only lady to which he paid any
attention, was Catharine Cameron, and
she perhaps was the only one that would
have received it so cordially. Perhaps
she pitied him-so neglected: perhaps she
found his society interesting. Perhaps
there was hidden, holy facination that
heart to heart can only offer. Perchance
in his tall and symetrical form she saw on
ly its even grace. May be that in Clinton
Courtland, she discovered an intelligent,
refined, learned and lovely acquaintance.
1t might be that there were garnered the
mighty might of mind, the glorious germs
and gems of genius. He sought the COM
palionship of none, and yet there were
times when he evidently wished to enter
friend Edgar, but the desire seemed not re-
ciprocateo, for ALA, though she treated
him with civilty, was cold, and distant, and
haughty-more than she was really aware
of.
And Lawrence had without seeming
single effort, won her proud heart: and
would she have loved him the less were
he mechanic? She felt with pain that
he was far above her, and that many ladies'
at the Springs were her superiors in birth,
wealth and attainments. And yet she
| counted over every attention she had re-
ceived from him, and compared them with
those he had lavished on others. The
balance was in her favor: and yet he was
sometimes SO cold and neglectful. Would
he ever-did he really feel an interest in
her! no! he was only gay gallant, dispen-
sing his words and his smiles, and his fiat
| teries to the many.

been sh rined in her deep heart for years.
And m agic memory was busy there.
: Lawrence Courtland was favorite,
both with managing mammas and mar
riageable daughters. The mothers dis
played their wealth-the daughters their
laces and graces. The gentleman too,
sought his society, though they envied him
the homage he seemed SO wholly careless
Of No walk, or ride, or ball could be
omplete without him. He was the star,
lion, the life of every circle. He dress
expensively, yet negligently. But
at if his rich cravat was half united, or
half turned round; or his costly coat dusty,
or his fine linen handkerchief soiled, or
his gloves torn, or his redundant curls dis
arranged; what mattered twas he not
gentleman, scholar-the Fashion; and
Fashion has right to be audacious. And
there were not few awkard attempts at
imitation. And no one lady seemed to
captivate his attention. He was polite
and gracious to all He would ride with
one, walk with another, talk with third,
waltz with fourth, sing with fifth, and
promenade with a sixth, and SO with the
rest.
And ALA Emerson, she fearfully felt his
facination, sometimes he paid her the most
exclusive attentions, aud then he seemed
cold and distant, and forgetful, until his
neglect saddened the young heart that had
begun to love. Alas! for ALA Emerson.
Why should she think of him. But then
Edgar was his friend. o Hope, why
would ye mock trusting!

In the evening there was brilliant ball
Catharine did not wish to attend, and had
retired to her chamber. Thither Edgar
sought her, and SO strenously insisted upon
her joining the dancers, that to crafty him
she consented. She was ready, and he
had called for her.
Arrayed in robe of faultless hneness,
whose sivered satin folds foated around
het fairy eorm like sofened sunlight; and
like lovely ministering angel, indeed.
she looked as she threaded the lighted and
deserted corridors, leaning on the arm of
her cousin. They both stated. A groan
fell upon their ears. 1t came from a cham
Der they were passing. Edgar looked at
the trembling being by his side.
'This--this is Coultland's room,' he
said pushing open the door with her hand
still resting in his. A shudder passed
through the frame of each, for there, on
the bed, lay Clinton Courtland, apparently
ifeless. Edgar sprang to his side, and
gazed with agony On the faded features of
his friend.
He breathes,' ne said Thank hea-
ven, he breathes. Stay here, Catharine,
While go Tor physician.
She needed not to be told again. There
lay the unconscious form of him she loved.
Half fainting she bent over him. She
! took his passive hand in hers-it was cold
as death. She pushed back the tangled
hair from his damp brow, and pressed her
quivermg lips upon it, and murmured in
lowest whisperings his name there. A
faint flush flashed to the cold forehead.
Was it illusion! Was he recovering! He
was conscious, though he had not the pow
er to move-searcely to breathe. And 0,
what sweet, deep dreams rushed to his
tried heart. 1t must be dream-it was
too heaven-like TO last
Catharine turned to the table for some
restorative. There-there stood that choice
richly chased Cologne bottle, with the IA
ded blue ribbons stil around it, tied as
they werc-then.
And does he still cherish this,' she
thought sthis token-this relic" as she
poured It's contents upon her embroidered
handkerchief, and bathed his death-white
brow with quiVering hand.
There was one long, deep respiration,
and the white lips of the sick man were
crimsoned with blood. With the perfu-
med linen her fair fingers held, she wiped
it away; but the warm ife-tide still flowed
there. She knew he had ruptured
blood vessel. and il was all owing TO that
days exertions.
Good heavens! what if he should die
ere Edgar returned or the physician arri-
we'd!
One low, wild wall of agony, and she
lifted his faint head upon her barred arm.
while the white flowers that lay among
careless curls had fallen, wilted and stain
ed in the lingering life-current that oozed
| from the half-hushed heart of that PROSTATE
one, at her feet and among the light white
folds of her dazzling dress, and her ho,
tears mingled with the fevered blood she
tried TO staunch!

A physician had examined the arm of

and applied such remedies as would serve
to relieve the pain. He had taken a seat
in the crowded saloon, and was poring
over a paper. The storm had cleared
away, and the laugh, the song and the jest
