And Edith? All this while of chances
and changes how is the time passing with
her? See for yourself reader! Follow
me gently into that well-known parlor of
her mothers dwelling, There she sits,
the beautiful one as light, as graceful,
and still more lovely than when VIC saw
her last for we now behold her think
ing, refined, intellectual woman, with all
her youthful, beaming charmcs, hcighten-
ed into exquisite ard womanly perfection.
She is leaning, rather pcnsively, on the
arm Of the chair, drawn to the open and
perfume 'draped window, with her soft,
dimpled hand holding in its rosc-colorod
palm the rounded chin; the neat, little
foot patting unconsciously the foor-her
eyes bent on the flowers Of her garden,
seeing them in all their floating hues, like
the mingled colors of Kaleidoscope, be-
fore her musing gaze. Her guitar leans
against her knee, and the other hand is
straying across the strings, awaking its
echoes like the notes of an Eolian harp.

and .snllie, TO Old Point, They are ..

What glorious night! How dazzling
look the shining sand, the glistening water,
in the moons mellow rays which fall now
SO brightly upon them; and bathing in its
effulgence those two youthful figures who
are pacing to and fro on the rampsIts Of
Fortress Monroe, nearest tho bay. The
lady was gazing on the ground, and he
into Ler lovely face. Twas Edith and
Lennard! .,.a, 5esae
Vainly had he sought tho interview dur
ing the day, but he could only see her the
centre Of an admiring circle, for Edith was
decidedly the "star of beauty" and the
"belle" amid the many who thrOnged tho
crowded saloons of the Hygeia Hotel. At
last she promised to walk with him; and
directly after tea had she gone with Charles
to the garrison, and there, meath that
brightly shining moon, had he told her Of
his fault-of bis love. 5.. 5.,
And Edith2
She like true woman forgaye him, for
she loved much. At first, however, she
made him writhe under her assumed incon-
stancy, until she saw hisagouy, and then,
when almost in despair Of regaining bis lost
treasnre-her lore---came her forgiveness,
like the mama to the starving IsraeGies.
Adding by way of scoda,," to her musical
words; the laughing cxhortaion, ITO be a
good boy, and she would--try to loyo
him."
A week later finds them en- route for
A, Charles Lennard accompanying
them; fur he is as eager to ratify his en-
gagement, now as lie was before to free
himself He hadtold Bel Ashton, the day
after the bali, of his engagement, and she
did not break her heart, but was soon as gay
and as graceful as ever, winning golden
opinions" from all sorts ofpcople, for Mr.
Ashton was very wealthy, and Bel was his
only child! ga; r, sss3ei,.,
Mrs. Morton was very much .astonished
to see Edith return SO full Of happiness,
and bringing back, as ''quiet as d lamb"
the rccrcant knight. Nor did sho advert
to the letter or Edith's protestation, but
once, and that was when preparing for
their marriage, she exclaimed with . smile:
$50, Edith, instead Of coming back to love
no one but your mother, yop only return
to gil my hands full Of labor and perplexi-
ty, and my heart full Of glief, at the
thoughts Of parting With you, even for
WHILE" 4~ss

of first and trusting love, Notwithstanding
this rude shock it had received. But she
was hopeful and buoyant in disposition,
and consoled herself with the thought
as she looked into the mirror, and saw
there her loveliness--that she yet would
win him back to love her still more deep
ly: and pleased was she, very naturally,
at the universal admiration she excited
among the gentlcmenj looking forward,
too, to her first ball--thinking Charles
Lennard would then see her in dress, on
which she bent all her taste to render it
bewitching-that lie would feel proud to
be the husband-elect Of one to whom 50
many eyes turned in ecstasy at her cxqui-
site beauty. All these, and many more
thoughts Of a like nature, kept her from
becoming prey to her heart sickness, and
she was really as lively and gay as she in
tended appearing inhis eyes. 1 hope no
one will deem my heroine heartloss, because
she was not as unhappy as she first expect
cd to have been. No, very far was Edith
Morton from that; on the contrary she
possessed warm and ardent feelings, but
as [ said bcforc-she was hopeful and con-
fdcnt--and what really beautiful woman
is not?--in the power Of her attractions.

restless and disqnieted, wanders forth to

Of gay festivity, and he feels angry with
Edith, whom his jealous imagination pic

down on the breakwatcr, watching the

1t was four o'clock, and the day of the
expected fancy ball. The house and its
crowd Of inmates, were in all the ankle
tics Of preparation. and pleasing anticipa-
tion Of the comingySts. The Baltimore
boats have just arrived, bringing fresh ac-
ccSsions to the already thronscd hotel; and
the numerous walters, the smartly dressed
chambcrmaids, might be seen hurrying
here and there, busily preparing for the
new comers The long plazzas--thatwcre
in front and behind the central sa!oor--
were full OF gay groups: some sauntering
to and fro, others in all the careless aban-
donment of loose summer garb, were sit
ting with their cigars, and arguing about
politics--lazily and prosily, as if even that
was too much of an exertion for the warm
weather. Groups Of lovely women were
promcnading through the saloon, in taste
full dinner-dresS--some laughing, flirting,
some chess-playmg with the officers of the
garrison, in their uniforms. Nor was there
wanting quite number of'sprig ghtly "mid-
dies" with their banded caIs set jauntily
on their heads, for Hampton Reads had
two or three frigatcs, awaiting final orders,
ere they put to sea. .... .-
Edith was neither in the saloon nor pi-
azzas; but if you had searched closely,
you might probably catch a glimpse of the
rosy tips Of her taper fingers, holding up
a pce bit of the curtain, to allow her bright
eyes to scan the arrivals, US they came up
Immediately in front of her window, amid
the bustling porters, handbarrows, and
saunterers, from the wharf. Her little
heart was beating wildly: and-although
,garbed only in her loose, white feiynoir-
never had she looked more lovely; for the
rich flush Of expectation was on her cheek,
and her ccuntenance was brighten ng and
changing with every emotion.
Charles Lennard was expected that very
evening! She left the saloon Immediately
after dinner, that she might be alone to
watch: and here she has been stationed
at the window, for the last half-hour, list
ening-with her heart--to every step,
sounding on the gravel At length, he
comes-but not alone, as Edith had tho't.
No; he is one of party, who are now
approaching slowly up the walk, directly in
front of Edith's window-her room being
one of those delightful ones, joining the
centre saloon.
Well, as | said, here he comes, bearing
several shawls, and walking slowly along
with graceful girl, in fashionable trav-
eling-drcss, whose neatly gloved hand is
resting on his arm, and whose thick veil
hides features that Edith is scanning most
uncasily We will not say that pang,
very like the premonitory symptoms of the
"grccp-eyed monster" did not dart thro'
her heart, playing sad havoc with her
whilome hopeful feelings. Pale, and rath-
er thinuer than when she last saw him
but oh! how immcasurably superior, to
her loving eyes, than all the lnen she had
hithertoseen bowing homage to her charms.
And now we must leave Edith, with feel
ings too excited for her evening siestq, and
follow Charles and hisparty, who, of course,
