| Here Miss Evelina burst into tears, as
usual; but there being a little passion
mingled with her tears on this OCCASION
her weeping was not quite as interesting
as it had been before. 1t subdued George
however, and paved the way to a recon-
Citation. The obnoxious expression was
explained-rather awkwardly, indeed, but
satisfactorily-and Miss Freeman was ac-
quilted of all blame.
Matters were. just placed in this pas

Go back, boy, and tell your master

Mr.. Cox, upon receiving this intelli-
gence, and learning the business which
engrossed Georges attention, left the
horse to take care of himself; and he
died just before George returned from
Mr. Smiths.

which we may not enumerate, urged upon

and the interview closed with most
melting scene; but 1 may not stop to de-
scribe it. Candor constrains me to say
however. that George got over it before
he reached his office, which he entered
actually whistling a merry tune.
He was at the second court of the cir
cult, and had been from home nearly a
fortnight when one his friends addressed

every word of this, but passed it off with
hearty, hectic laugh.

| The great obstacle being now removed,
the wedding night was fixed at the short
est time that it could be to allow the nee
essary preparation which was just three
months ahead.
Before these three months rolled away
George became convinced that he had
staked his earthly happiness upon the
| forlorn hope of reforming Miss Smiths
errors after marriage; but his sense OF
honor was too refined to permit him to
harbor a thought of breaking the engage
ment; and, indeed, so completely had he
become enamored of her that any perils
seemed preferable to giving her up for
| ever. -reH
! He kept his parents faithfully advised
of all the incidents of his love and court
ship and every letter which he forward
ed went like a serpent into the Eden of
peace over which they presided. Their
letters to him never came unembalmed
| in a mothers tears, and were never read
without the tender response which
mothers tears ever draw from the eyes
of truly affectionate son.
! The night came. and George and Eve
| lima were married.
A round of bridal parties succeeded, ev-
cry one of which served only to heighten
Georges alarms and to depress his spir-
| its He could not discover that marriage
had abated In the smallest degree his
wifes love of general admiration and fiat
terry The delight which she felt at the
attentions of the young gentlemen was
visible to more eyes than his as was
plainly evinced by the throngs which at
tended her wheresoever she moved. Oc-
casionally their assiduities assumed
freedom which was we'll calculated to
alarm and to infame one whose notions
| of married life were much less refined
than those which George had ever enter
| tanned; but there was an apology for
them, which he knew he would not be
| forced to admit flimsy as 1t was In truth
namely, they were only those special
attentions which were due to the queen
of bridal party" Another consideration
forced him to look in silence upon those
liberties. His wife had taken no offense
at them She either did not repel them
at all, or she repelledy them In such a
good humored way that she encouraged
rather than prevented the repetition of
them. For him. therefore, to have inter-
posed would have been considered an act
of supererogation.
To the great delight of George, the par
ties ended, and the young couple set out
on visit to Lagrange, the residence Of
Georges parents. On their way thither

George read the long letter from which
the foregoing extracts are taken with
deep interest and with some alarm: but
he was not in situation to profit by his
parents counsels. He had visited Miss
Smith repeatedly in the time he was
waiting to hear from his parents and
though he had discovered many little
foibes in her character. he found ready
apology or an easy remedy for them all.

farmers was to keep aloof from the

they mean to be understood as evincng

not appoint day until she consulted her
dear Morgiana Cornelia Marsh of Canaan
VT. Morgiana was her classmate, and at
parting In Philadelphia they had inter-
changed pledges that whichever got mar
ried first should be waited upon by the
other"
In vain did George endeavor to persuade
her that this was a schoolgirl pledge
which Morgiana had already forgotten
and which she never would fulfill. His
arguments only provoked reproof of his
unjust suspicious of the american fair"
Finding his arguments here unavailing
he then entreated his Charming Evelina"
to write Immediately to Miss Marsh to
know when it would be agreeable to her
to fulfill her promise.
Weeks rolled away before Miss Smith
could be prevailed upon even to write the
all-important letter. She dispatched It at
last however, and George began to enter
tain hopes that few months would
make the dear Evelina his own.
| In the meantime his business fell in ar
rears, and his clients complained loudly
against him. He was necessarily tortured
with false rumors of his coldness and
! indifference towards Miss Smith, and of
the light and disrespectful remarks which
he had made upon her; but he was much
more tortured by her unabated thirst for
balls and parties of pleasure; her undi-
minished love of general admiration, and
the unconcealed encouragement which
she gave to the attentions of DR.. Bibb.
The effect which these things had upon
his temper was visible to all his friends
He became fretful, petulent, impatient
and melancholy. DR.. Bibb proved in
truth to be most accomplished, intelli-
gent gentleman, and was the man who,
Labove all others, George would have Sc
lected for his friend and companion, had
not the imprudences of Evelina trans
formed him into a rival. AS things were

provoked from George cruel misplaced
and unnatural sarcasms. which the world
placed to the account Of jealousy, and In
which Georges conscience forced him to
admit that the world did him nothing
more nor less than sheer justice.
At length Miss Morgiana's letter ar
rived. 1t opened with expressions of
deep contrition that the writer SHOULD
have got married without giving her be-
loved Evelina an opportunity of fulfilling
her promise: but really, after all, she
was not to blame, for she did propose to
write to her beloved Evelina to come on
