AGATHA BEAUFORT, OR FAMILY PRIDE. String
er 4 Townsend-A tale of English domestic
life, with its invidious social distinctions and
heart crushing anomalies. 1t is evidently writ
ten by one who has felt keenly the difficulties
opposed to the progress OF talent aud moral
worth by those class preju.iccs that constitute
the framework of English society. There is an
infusion Of sufficient melodramatic interest in
the story to ensure it favor in the eyes Of those
WHO read for Amusement rather than cukiva-
ton. The following scene is Of tina. high
wrought order -
Ginevras departure removed the restraint each
had imposed upon hinscii for even Mr.. Bradiyil'a
fierce passions subdued themselves in her presence
For some minutes Mrs. Beaufort sat with her face
hidden by her hand; icr the shame and tue feeling,
Of unutteTable anguish which now bowed her proud
spirit, words cannot describe. Already she expe-
rehced foretaste Of that condemnation which the
good aud high piihcipled would surely award to her
past Cox duct in the sorrowful surprise ard rebukc
expressed IL the glance OF Leonard Somertons elo-
queLt eyes.
And yet her humiliatng task was not completed.
In GiDevras presence she found |. impossible to re-
late any part Of the subtle fraud to which, through
her imprudence, she had fallen victim; but IL
was due to herself that many OF the cironmsta ces
should be explained. All these varied thoughts
passed IN moment Of time through her mind; for
Gineyra bad scarcely Quilted tne room when Mr..
Carnegie spoke.

Mr.. 6omerton made nasty gesture OF surprise
and indignation.
"Address me not by that hateful name IA name

Mrs. Beaufort vehencntly, while an expression Of
intense anguish passed over her face. al sum-
moned you not to make partial disclosure Of my
