YU.-CHRISTMAS EVE,

Christmas Eve came; q loud, blustrous
day, with light covering of snow up
on the ground, and clouds heavy with
storms in the sky. Laurence Royston
had left Eyersley for few DAYS, saying,
that he intended to spend the festive
season with some relatives at a distance.
Adie was sorrowful during his absence;
for she had still to bear the burden OF
her secret, and to deceive old Nicholas.
Her treachery weighed on her heart; but
though she had entreated Royston to
let her tell him, he had always put her
off, saying, that such confession would
lead to their instant separation; for the
engraver was resolute in his way, and
Inadvertently conceived strong dis.
taste for his pupils character. Since they
had become better acquainted, Royston
had let fall much of his disguise, and
had frequently given utterance to hard
selfish, worldly principles that had re.
VOTED the good old man; and detecting
in spite of their guarded manner, that
he and Adie were on closer terms thar
they wished to appear, Nicholas had
pressedforward bis MISREPRESENTATION
might be no reason for the young man:
remaining in the town. But what mos
deeply grieved him was, that Adie should
have withheld her confidence from him
He turned it over in his mind and could
not remember that he had ever giver
her a harsh word that should make he
fear him; and yet from her tone, anC
from her anxious air and watchfulness
he knew she was keeping something
