gether too faded for me-"
"Faded," said Mr.. Evelith--I shoulC
think that the last word that would apply
to Mrs. Westbury in any way. She i,
certainly animated both in couuteuanct
and manner, and she talks better than any
lady | ever conversed with. Her thought
have something of masculine strength anc
range, delightfully."- modified by feminine
grace and delicacy. Her manner is per
foctly l'dylike and gentle"
Mr.. Eyelith glanced his eyes towards
Julia, who stood on the other side of the
room conversing with q lady. She wa.
dressed in black, color that finely cen
trasted with her pearls, which proved tC
be very becoming. Her cheek was lit
tie flushed and her whole face beamins
with animation. "Faded, It's false" Mr.
Westbury pride was plqued. Julia was
Mrs. Westbury-his wife! could he pa
tiently hear her thus spoken of! Was there
anything noble in that mind that could thu,
thus speak of rival? How grateful tc

ards table that was spread with refresh
ments, filled plate and carried them .C
Julia, 1t was the first attention Of the
kind he had ever paid her, aud her face
was eloquent indeed, as she looked up with
smile, and said, "thauk you" He stood
by her for few moments, made some
common place remarks, even took a grape
or two from her plate and then turned
away. 1t was one Of the happiest mo-
ments of Julia's ife-There was some
thing indescribable in his marner, that a
delicate and feeling woman could alone
have seen or appreciateded, Of which Ju-
liza felt the force.
When the party broke up Miss Eldon
contrived again to secure Mr.. Westbury's
arm. She saw that he purposely avoided her
whether from new inborn indifference, she
could not determine; but having boasted
to quite a number of her friends of his
passion for herself, and the reluctance
with which he had complied with his faith
ers command to marry Julia, who had
made the most indellcate advances she
resolved if art or manouveriDg would ac-
complish it, to maintain the power over
him. From the first she exulted ID the
conquest over Mr.. Westbury's heart
She admired his person, his fortune she
loved; and bitter was her modification,
uubounded her displeasurc, when his hand
was bestowed on another. To make it ap-
pear that he still loved her, to wiring tie
heart of his wife and detract from her
character were now the main.spriDgs Of
her actions whenever she met them. The
sight of Julla's pearls, which she thought
should have been her own, awakened on
this evening, peculiarly bitter feelings.
The hand, the heart even of Mr. West
bury, were triaes when compared with such
beautiful ornaments, except as they were
the medium through which the latter were
to be obtained.
A ten minutes conversation with him
was all her art could accomplish during
the evening at Mrs. T-'s until she se-
cured his arm on going out. In the entry
they were detained by the crowd at the
loor, and looking round, they saw Mrs
Westbury, together with Mr.. and Mrs.
Eveith, examining the bust of Gen. La
'ayette, which sat Oh pedestal at the
oct of the stairs. With smile on her
features, which very slightly
,oftened compound expression of scorn
ind malignity, Miss Eldon said
"Really Mrs. Westbury has made

attentions. and enthusiastic in his encom-
inns! DO you not begin to be jealous 2"

er them. She has too much delicacy and
efnement to court the. attentions Of her

Miss Eldon was stung with moriifca-
ion, and dropping her head, that her face
night be concealed by her hood, she said
