amounts to SO, 992 $50, ia addition to its liability
for bonds loaned and endorsed to the amornt Of

still fingered in New York, and was often
a visitor at Mr.. Carrington's. He had by
this time become well acqua intcd with the
family, and was favorite with all-par-
ticularly with the maiden sisters, Jane and
Chloe, especially the latter, who believed
herself to be the object of his visits. And
was it SO? All reader, why ask the ques-
ton? If you could have explored the
depths of Sinclair's heart, you would have
discovered that no less person than Miss
Lizzie Darlington, the little school girl,
attracted him to the house Of his friend
But though day after day he called there,
he had not since the momentous evening
of his arrival, beheld her. Ernest often
wondered at this-he hadforgotten Lizzie S
avowed distaste to the society of gentle
men, and did not know that the Misses
Jane and Chloe, fearful Of their younger
sisters charms, did all in their power to
keep her out Of the way Of their supposed
admirer.

sensation that his mind dwelt upon the
youthful stranger to whom he had afforded
such timely aid. Of many dream was
she the theme; many an hour did he vile
away endeavoring to recall each feature of
her couutenance and imprint it more forci-
bly, upon his memory; for he was resolved
that if they ever met second time, he
would renew the acquaintance so propiti-
ously (for him at least) begun. But tho
for weeks he watched the arrival and de-
parture of the omnibus, she never came
again. Alas, poor Ernest

naming to study with her younger sister
Julia, in the sitting room, Lizzie would
bring her books into the parlor, and Err
nest often found himself of great use to
the little schoolgirl. Was she at loss
for the meaning of French phrase, he
was near to translate it. Was she search
ing for poetic quotation to insert in her
composition, he knew just where to find
one or if he did not, the deficiency was
quickly supplied from the illusions of his
own brain. In short, Ernest Sinclair and
Lizzie Darlington became we'll acquainted
-Uery well acquainted indeed; aud tho
Miss Chloe looked on, it was without suS-
picion, for she felt confident that Sinclair
would never throw himself away upon
such Eighty little creature as her sister
Lizzie.

THE STAGE-COACH.

20 woman g love lat times it may
Seem cold and clouded, but it burns
With true undertaking ray,
And never from its idol turns "--CsoLY,
Tho last signal had been given, aud the
omuibus which daily PASSED through the
little village Of C, was about to depart
on its accustomed route,
Standing at the door of the "Stage
House." Ernest Sinclair had, for the last
half houE been amusing himself with
watching the confusion and hustle that pre-
vaded the interior of the stage-coach-the
cries ef children, the disposing of bun
dies and baskets, the scrambling for seats
and adieus to friends. Suddenly his at
tention was drawn off by the sound of car
riage wheels, and the next instant hand
some barouche and grays dashed at full
speed up the lane and stopped directly in
front of the hotel, Another moment and
the carriage door was opened by liveried
tootman, who assisted two fomales to alight
.--ouc apparently quite youthful, the other
evidently advanced in years. Their faces
we're closely veilcd, but the sylph-like form
and graceful bearing Of the younger made
Ernest Sinclair wish that he could pene-
trate that thick misty curtain of gauze,
and obtain view Of her oounteuance.
With much interest he watched their mo-
tons, and at length saw them direct their
stems toward the well-flled stage. The elder
Of the two had obtained seat, and her
companion fingered for a moment on the
steps of the omnibus while she gave part
ing message to the footman, asd the driver,
,deeming all were ready and inpatient to
be off, cracked his whip, and the horses
started. An exclamation of alarm issued
from all the bystanders-the young girl
tottered and would have fallen to the
ground had not Ernest Sinclair sprang
hastily forward and caught her in his arms
thus, in all probability, saving her from
deformity for life
The stage-coach was detained, and many
now gathered round to congratulate the
young gentleman on his wel-timed activi
ty; but he was too busy ascertainine
whether the young lady had suffered from
the alarm her danger must have occasion
ed, to heed them. A voice most softly
musical assured him that she had not, and
thanked him for rescuing her; and as sht
spoke, the lady drew aside her veil and re
vealed very lovely face; one of tht
sweetest, Sinclair thought, that he hat
ever seen, She appeared to very young
perhaps not fifteen, aud there was an in
telligent, yet mischiovous light in those
dark blue eyes, though they now beamec
gratefully upon her preserver.
Five minutes after, she was seated be
side her friend in the stage.coach ono,
more the driver gathered up the reins anc
Hourished bis whip high in the air, tn
horses noighed and pranced, and ere man,
seconds had elapsed the omnibus was los
in the distance.
Ernest Sinclair stood gazing abstractcd
" upon the vehicle till it disappeared from
sight, and then turned thoughtfully towar'
home to dream of that fair girlish fac
and remembet the soft clasp of that littl
hand =.
Often afterwards did he think Of tia

She walked toward the centre-table.
Book after book was taken up and then
thrown down again with a dissatisfied air
at last scizing upon one, she drew chair
to the table and began to turn over the
leaves.
"What absorbs your attention now p
asked Sinclair.
"Oh, nothing" she replied, laying the
book aside; 81 was only glancing at Mrs
Caudle's lectures. But perhaps you would
like me to read you one, Mr. Sinclair"
"Oh, no, no. exclaimed Ernest, play
fully placing his hands over his cars, mot

the truth, / have taken VOW never t

"Well, then, I'm sure know not how
l shalt amuse you"-and she turned away
in pretended despair.

smiling. So Lizzie resumed her seat, ant
Ernest drew his chair nearer to her.
'In the first place, l intend to scol'

"Well, then, 1 will call you Ernest,
