CHAPTER w

Carrie spent few weeks with her cousip al
j, and then returned home to her fathers
residence on the Hudson. She obtained prom.
Use from Amarel that she would spend the next
vacation with her; also that she would write oc
caslonally. AT first regular correspondence
was maintained between them but if lsnouiahad
and long before vacation time arrived if ceased
altogether,
One day Carrie was surprised by receiving 2
paper published at the village of D: and
with apprehensions unspeakable, she unfolded
IT, and her worst fears were realized In the
llst OF marriage notices was one with pencil
mark around it. which attracted her attention
She read as follows
"On the 9th instant, by the Rev, J. Wilson
Mr. Adolphus Singleton to Miss Amarel Carl.
ton, OF Kensington, daughter of Judge Carlton u
Can 1t be-. j" exclaimed Carrie, dropping the
paper has cousin of mine thrown herself
away IN that style, after all the warning and
9avlce gave her. May she never realize what
fear she will but too acutey. o, that I had
the assurance that tn marriage would he 4
happy one; but cannot predict as much in this
case, as for the unfortunate Hattie Linwood
now deserted by her husband!

ing to the natural volatility OF her spirits, en-.
Joyed herself with her might. She coauetted
and gave herself entirely up tothis world s pomr
eAAN PIOuoulSo1OibOh Qor duties at the
Seminary. The Principal and trustees of that
Institution had foreborn for long time, in con.
slderatlen Of her talents and her family but or
the occasion of an affair of rather a serious ma
ture, for which she could make no satisfactory
excuse, she was dismissed. Stung with dis
grace, and not wishing TO return home, she mar
ried Mr. Singleton, and removed to a distant
city.
In the meantime, the friendship between Dud.
ley and Carrie, which was commenced in q,
satisfactory manner at D., was renewed
on the advent Of Mr.. d. in the village wherl
Carrie resided, He made frequent visits to her
brought her gifts of books and flowers and wait
ed upon her generally. They talked togethe,
on themes that interested them most; and Dud
ley's soul-all that was best and truest in hin
expanded beneath the light of Carries earn.s
eyes, and eloquent lips. That they were be
trothed would be natural; if they were not af
terward married would spoil the thread of ON
story,-so the reader may consider that settled
SO, Dudley!' burst out Carrie, one day, no
long after she had received the honorable It'll,
of Mrs Dudley, 81 have such 3 magnificent
project IN my head, if can only work it out ?
" hat' nova pearl OF poem, Or a gem o.
novel 1t must be one or the other"
Neither. l would have you understand that
my mind is not so contracted as to be confined
within the limits of two spheres which are ia
Yorites of mine, but that it aspres to something
higher and more practical than rhyme or sens
alton stories.'
But what about your airy fabric ~
"1ou are aware, probably, that for a long
time back, have been collecting original, anG
fac-simile autographs of the eminent men of al
nations. | have now several hundred, and my
plan is to arrange them upon plates according t,
the profession OF the personages so as to cIuste
the authors together, the poets atesmen paint
ers, ETC., and then to prepare short biographical
memoirs OF most of these celebrities, arranged
alphabetically, and place them in the hands OF
some enterprising publisher for publication
Il is grand idea, and your autographs wo'C
make SouUenlr for every man, woman ant
child in the universe if you could only get biog
raphies to equal theml'
Il shall devote my time to it, and see what
can do" -
Busily did Mrs. Dodley ply her pen. Sh,
had an abundant store OF materials to work on
and a fertile brain soon put them into shape. =
as the work neared its completion, she though
she would look about to find publisher Ac
cordlngly she wrote to New York house-ont
famous for publishing magnificent works ofthi.
class, In parts or numbers, Thinking this :
visionary scheme, they declined having any
thing to DO with it. Nothing dannted, she adj
dressed a letter to Boston firm, land also one t(
a Philadelphia publisher Both of them wished
| the job, but Carrie gave it to the latter.
The work appeared in splendid style, profusely
illustrated, under the title of Biographical So
venirs of all nations 1t was something new
and made great sensation, and reached a large
sale. Truly Carrie had turned the ''airy fabric
into practical account.
