knows; certainly no flowers could bloom il
as dark nook, save one of hope for me
! unconsciously. / sat down on a broad sla
of moss covered granite, and Nelly sat dow
by my side. Somehow We both forgot GU
ferrand. to-wit, the ever-greens and flowers
We talked for some time quietly of our 81!
months acquaintaneeship, and gradually il
q lower tone, ! came to tell her that sam
old story-you know what it is, which
suppose Jacob told to Rachel, and Romeo
to Juliet, and Strephon to Chloe, and whicl
will be whispered by youth in beauty's ca
to the end Of time. She turned her fac
and looked steadily in mine for one moment
as if she would read the last letter on n,
hearts tablet, then bowed her head with /
true womanly blush, and laid her right hant
in mine. For further particulars of tina
picnic, you must inquire Of the rest of th'
party. .~.-h"
| Days and days rolled on, and naturally
enough Nelly's father was made acquainted
with our loves. He was Il man could no
lke-the dear girl must have inherited hel
! goodness from her mother-and us soon al
he heard the story, great quarrel blazet
up. lie thought was, poor, rs indeed hat
been, until the demise Of an uncle | never
saw left me with, a snug littl fortune. Oh
this windfaH had not told the daug hter
for like romantic young man that was
wished to win, not to buy her heart; anC
| was quite too proud to tell the father OF
it when he accused me Of the crime of being
pennlless. High words passed between Us
in Nelly's presence; and in my madness and
cruelty, accused her Of sordid motives, be-
cause she hesltatcd between love and flial
duty. She answered me with Indignation.
| liked her better for that afterward-and
left the house in rage. 1t was the old
story again, old as lovers, and one that will
be re-enacted half yearly, till dromsday. \
stern parent-a hcsitatng girl-a foolish
boy-these elements will make up little pri
vate thratrica!s, and exact tragedies thereat,
till tch world melts.
Thenext morning woke up with horri-
bic suspicion that had been acting in a
very silly manner. | rushed down to the
village, in Il very dishevled state, to see
Nelly and pray forgiveness. The maid at
the door told me, with aggravating calm
ness. suggestive OF fee rcceiy ed ut parting
that Miss Nelly and her father had lief, town
that morning. Whittier they had gone she
hadn't the faintest idea, neither had the land
I>dy. They had Si,uply paid their bills and
one. What was it TO Mrs. Jones or Bird
yet, TLey had got their money. | re-
furncd 10 nv room, and occupied bali an
bour nroftobI. in cursns myself for dull
and muddy .mettle, Inscal. Then wrote Il
i,ooy letter of penitencs co that would h"Te
