CHAPTER ".
A NEW LOVER


Now great deal depends upon posi-
t'on. The young girl in the ball room
must appear in graceful position the
lady in society must maintain fashiona
ble position the statesman before the
world must assume a commanding posi-
ton; but none of these are more impor.
tant than the position which a young
man maintains in the presence of his lady
love-from his position, and the manner
on which he operates upon her feelings,
always predict their destiny. If be rat
ties and rrattles, and talks sweet nonsense,
and she is delighted with il, they vii! be
a stupid couple, and probably quarrel be-
fore they have been welded half n yea,
H. Oil the contrary, he apl ears dignied
and respectful, and sometimes introduces
subjects Of moral and intellectual i'm
provement, and she appears gratified with
his tone Of sentiment or responds with a
brilliant quotation or appropriate remark
there, | say, is couple who have a
fair chance of being happy themselves,
and who will probably shed n lus,re
around them which shall light the path
Of Others.
When Roger stood before his rival in
the calm dignity Of portrait, and Lucy's
eye showed that she approved his speech
as the perfection Of manly sentiment, it
was all over with DR.. Walker. He was
IN false position. He understood it,
TOO, and more angry that he had been
beaten 10y man who was in an inferior
station, than that he had lost the ladv.
he determined to bring another competi-
tor into the field one who had no polit-
cal disabilities to surmount, who could
agree with the father about the Wings,
and with the mother about the weather.
and whose profession, family, fortune and
figure, would, he doubted not, gain the
victory over Roger. This new candidate
5eEahgNmS yeRnr, was Seth Trumbull, the
The young lawyer became a constant
visitor At Squire Hartwel's. 1t was soon
understood by the whole parish, that the
match was, rs it is termed, made. True,
Lucy steadily denied it; but at that day
il was not the fashion for young ladies to
proclaim their engagement as soon as
they had said yes-so her denial went for
nothing.
DR.. Walker asserted coufdentially,
everywhere, that it would be match !;
Mrs. Hartwel did not contradict it no.
body dared question the old Squire on
this subject; and rs for Anna Mlnot, the
dear, teasing little cousin, she always
laughed and said " like enough" when
the subject was referrcd to her. So the
Tatter was settled. Everybody said that
Lucy Hartwell WAS engaged to Lawyer
1rumbull.
Everybody said so except Roger; he
never ventured to say word about it.
The young ladies generally, believed it
was a sad disappointment to him, and
pitiel him exceedingly. But most Of the
elderly people, especially the grave fathers,
differed from this opinion. They said
Roger had no idea of marrying; that he
was poor and ambitious, and that such II
man never thought ill be had risen in
the world, in those primitive times, not to
marry for money.
Roger had opened store in a neigh
boring town. He worked no more a,
shoenaking, but pursued his business as
though his life depended on his diligence

peach tree beneath which they were pas
sing, and fell strongly Oh her upturned
face; the wavy outline Of her eyelashes
was distinctly to be traced in shadow on
her fair cheek. Roger thought she was
very pale. Lucy, will you grant me one
minutes attention."
She looked towards the door of her
dwelling, where Anna Minot and Mr.
Trumbull were then entering; she hesita.
ted and stopped.
"Lucy, it is long time since have
had the pleasure Of speaking to you"
at is about five or six weeks"
"They seem to me ages"
ADO you not like your businessi"
II did like it, because it afforded me
hope ofrendering moself worthy Of you.

ly, that you are inclined to favor Trum-
bull"
She did not speak.
81 am poor, Lucy; must labor I am
without friends, and must make my own
way. II may be years before take the
station in society which Trumbull now
occupies, but as sure as ! live, Lucy, I
will"
He paused; for though he had often
indulged tbs hope, indeed belief that he
should rise superior TO TrumbuIl, yet he
shrunk from expressing the anticipation.
1t seemed like a vain boast.
"You do not believe me, then; Lucyi"
he contiued, after long pause.
Had We not better 60 int my cousin will
wonder what detains us. "

he walked leisarely forward to pay his
respects to Squire Hartwell and the
ladies.
