II gave up al the. advantages which
accrued to me trem bearing the family

"Was tho late Mr.. Tollem.che in
any way connected with tho Earls Of
Dysart, then !" demanded Mn. Elliot :;
but her question remained unanswer-
ed. -. ..--~s
"If I resigned these benefits cheer
fully, ior your sakes," continued Mrs.
Beale, with vague idea that Marion
and Eugenia had been parties to the
transaction, "it is not for you to re-
proach me, nor to cast it in my teeth.
At the same time, it is no reason that 1
should. not be :.cutely alive to the
benefit which my daughters may OBJ
tain from Alright use of their own ID

Of Elliots in Burke and my dear
Antoinette changed herr, noble .s it

"Mamm.,! mamma r interrupted
Mrs. Elliot, "you are surely never 60
ing to compare the marriage Of Autoin-
cite to an idle, ne'er-do-well, like Will
lam Lennox, even though his name Be-
in the peer.ge, with that Of our dear
Eugeniar Henry Aroher's family may
not be noble, or ever have been; but
he, himself, is IN. honorable, upright
man, who works industriou,ly and.
honestly to support the children God
has given him and, in my idea, there
is no comparison between the two"
She spoke warmly, excitedly, out Of
the depths of her generous heart; and
she vas surprised, At the conclusion of
her speech, to fiod that her sister, in
stead Of seoonding her assertion, was
sitting in her chair, deadly pale, and
trembling in every limb. IL. :
."Pray-pny, say no more !" she
calculated At last. ::Manma does not
know how little these outward things
affect me; if it will please her that 1
i should call myself MRS. Willoughby
Archer I will do 90 from this day." =.
"Yos ars not strong enough to hear
such discussions" said Marion, fondly,
IS she lad her palm upon her sisters
shaking hand and then the mother,
finding her argument cut short by &C:
quiescence, shook her rufled plumes a
. little, and told Eugenia that she was
glad to see her so ready to take advice.
"And when does Willoughby talk of
joining you ?" she inquired, as soon as
they had settled down again.
| "He did not talk Of it at ALL" replied
her daughe1, in low voice. II don't
think busy men often get a holiday to
England"
"But surely the firm could supply
his place for while, if he asked for
leave. Was he quite we'll when you
left him m?'
/ "Quite well, thank you. He is very
strong"
"Did you fix any time between you
for the period Of your stay in Eng
Land ?"

:: Archer glanced ;timidly toward : the in

j "That will b easily arranged by let.

you have been sent home for yoq,
health, Eugeni., you must not return
until it is quite reestablished."
''"Aod Willoughby gives you =. hand
