!; Herbert was twenty-nne and Alice nine
i teen. they had but the one heart. they lived
h in the one world, life TO them was to live To-
i gether; il had been thus for a long time.
they had each known it for themselves, but

r. But Herbert had his truce in life, and so
a he must fight again. When he and Alice
5 had found out so much Mr. Chandler also
made his discovery, and was very wroih.
/ 1t wassin vain that his wife used all her IN
fiuence with him, to listen to HERBERT
/ suit; in vain that she told him all about the
| former manor-house, in vain that she as
serted her belief that Herbert's intellect
, would yet bear him into fame.
{ Where is the manor house. now? said
Mr.. Chandler, in rage. What good is
fame? who ever saw it? who ever was fed
, by it? lie shall not have Alice, or if he
t does, said Mr.. Chandler, sitting down, in
short staccato manner. and putting one
5 hand on each knee, while he stared fierce
Ely at his wife, 'he never gets one penny of
5 her twenty thousand pounds
| Samuel, said Mrs. Chandler, drawing
closely to him, there is that on earth which
| gold can never buy; there is that which is
3 rarer than the choicest jewels in the might
) est monarch's crown, there is that which
makes earth like heaven, and that is love.
$ If Alice were like your boys, | should not
contradict your will, but he who plays with
her Young heart does so at her peril
He wants her money said the town
e councillor, mutttcring aloud, and then he
D swore an oath that he should never have it.
: Money said Mrs. Chandler, he does
not want. Herbert Courtenay can earn his
. wife's bread; and it is better that Alice
should wed with one whose nature is akin
to her own, than that she Should walk thro'
). life Unmatched, burdened and a,cursed
o You may MURDER said Alice Chandler
, solemnly. without pistol or knife
q Il mean Alice for a nobeman, gasped
the town-councillor, who from crimson had
& turned to ashy Wilderness.
q 'She is not yours TO give said his wife
/. you cannot buy and sell a heart as you d.
d merchandise in the cty-Alice is not yours
to give
}. This wasindeeda new light 10 Mr.. Chand
G Ter, who had ever locke on Alice as a por
ton OF his movable property. and had ex
pected TO do,with her as he liked; he SO far
however, yielded to reason, as to speak
Y again OF the matter in a week.
5 A terrible life did all in Mr.. Chambers
e counting house lead during the following
r. week; but at the end OF it he had made M
: his mini. How much has Herbert Courte-
+ nay earned during the last two years?' he
a asked his wife, as they sat at the breakfast
d table together
!. He has earned said Mrs. Chandler,
: 'c400 or c500' @
t 'rhe beggar!' muttered the town-coun-
e cjlior, and can they live on that?'
o They cam said Mrs. Chandler.
as.And thrive. too,' said her husband with

/. i am Alicc's mother said Mrs. Chand-

d word, and | urge her suit, only because

d ", MI. Chandler walked out of the room,
e banging the door after him with all his
e might.

Who can tell whereofa woman's heart IS

is in it, which ever buoys it up upon LIES

) Buy and sell, ye children ofthe world. but

o That which is beyond all price is beyond

:. AS to her, whom we have known hitherto
as the little Alice, she has made her choice.
] Even tho she had lost TIE twenty thousand

/ worth ten fold that to her; and the town
: councillor said that il should be so. and sent
n for his LAWYER, who altered his will, so that
: if this marriage were to take place after his

, Time wore on--life's battle is often to be
