And the speaker, a fair and gentle noking woman, no longer young, hut with a countenance whose placid beauty Time could iot destroy, looked pleasantly into the bright jyes of the lovely giri who sat on a low ottonan beside her. " Not one particle of romance, Aunt Hetty, ?ither in the marriage itself or in the hearts of - ? II f-?L _< tilOSC WtIO contract U. -*u irraiimas ui i?.-v??iiq mist be gone before such a thing can he thought :?f; and 1 believe a second marriage is always \ mere matter either of calculation or couveni* ?nee." ' But even allowing the unfortunate iudividuil, who a second time enters the married state, to have lost his freshness of feeling, as you call it, and to be incapable of loving again with all the ardor of his first love, may not be twice loved ? And may there not be as much roman- I ;ic devotion to him in the heart of his second partner as in the first ?" Impossible, aunt! ' A heart requires a lieart, nor will be satisfied with less than what t gives/ He would onlv have the shadow of love to ofTer, and therefore could not receive tho substance in return." ' And so poor Sidney, rich handsome, accomplished, and agreeable as you own him to be, has beeu rejected simply because he lias loved before ? It is bard, indeed, if he must pass the rest of bis life alone, because he bad the misfortune to loose the object of bis first choice, to whom be was united when little more than a boy. Dying, as she did, in less than a month tyoni their marriage, that early attachment must ;eem to him more like a pleasant dream than n reality." " It is a dream to which lie still'clings most e.?11 ? ?....? i l,?fa cnan IttMi chmv Lir more IIMIUM , if II11 i* M. liafVOVVli unu emotion when speaking of his dead wile than he ever did in expressing his love for me.'' " And that emotion, Ella should have thought you how deeply he can love, and the wort a of the heart you have thrown front you. 1 fear me you may live to repent this foolish fancy.'' " Never, never, aunt. 1 could not love .?lr. Sidney : and 1 would sooner die than marry one 1 did not love. 1 respect and esteem him; but I never will accept a divided heart?one tilled with the memory of a lormer aiibction. 1 shall never l??ve but once ; and if 1 cannot receive in return the freshness of a first and only devotion, I will do as you have done and remain single." " > ! " We shall see," replied her annt, smiling, though half sadly, "^ou know but little of life yet, Ella. I, for one shall not be surprised if, alter all this romance; you commence the realities of life by uniting yourself to a widower with halfa dozen children, not half so attractive or interesting as (ieorge .Sidney." ' " Aunt Hetty commenced the girl indignant; but she loved her aunt dearly, and meeting her now playful smile, the angry llush upon her cheek- subsided, and, tossing the curls bark fit as a brotner, but to think of him as n lover and a husband? oh no! she would ho no man's second wile ; and, with this finn resolve, she turned to her birds ami flowers, ami dreamed of a future as as bright ami cloudless as lite past and present. Hut clouds were gathering in her shy, although she saw them not; ami ho lore sue tiad passed her nineteenth summer, thesun of worldly prosperity was shining on her way no more. Ono of those sudden convulsions which sometimes shake the commercial world, destroyed her father's fortune in a day. Everything was swept from them : their beautiful house passed into the hands of strangers; and they found themselves dependent upon their own exertions for support. It was a terrible blow, and at first seemed more than they could bear; and, but for aunt Hetty, a sister of Mrs. Mason, who bad shared their prosperity, and still clung to them in adversity, they might have sunk into i?nf.r nhcerint; words roused iwptrn-sQ |..ivny. ^ first tlit* parents and tlien Ella, from their stupor; and a little exertion procured for Mr. Mason a clerkship, which would secu-e thorn at least from absolute want; while his daughter sought, and by the assistance of her fiicnds, obtained a situation as governess in the family of a clergyman in the neighboring city. It was a sad trial to the young girl to leave those whom she loved so dearly, and go out - -i.- i among strangers ; nui mn .. ? v., .,wVv?sury, and encouraged by aunt Hefty, and supported by the hope of contributing to the comfort of her parents, sho went cheerfully. And, though she wept long and bitterly through the fir?t nights passed away from homo, she became - - - . di*i gradually reconciled to the change, and, after a a time, warmly attached to the little ones under f her charge, and the parents who confided them 1 to her. s 1 Mr. and Mrs. Grant, into whose family she c had entered, were still young,, and they soon c learneil to regard Ella rather as a sister than a t stranger, and she sometimes forgot, for a little v while, that she was not at home. To the'ehil- 1 | dren, she gave tiie warm affection of an elder s ; sister, scai cely second to that bestowed upon s .t .! ,1? .. i,?? i._ Iier own ; ineir moiiier mien ' . Miss Mason had taken, almost a ,matter of our.-e the whole direction of tbe.hotisebold, arid 10 telt no anxiety for worldly thirtg&\rrie saw lis children well and happy/1 improving in heir education; and, thoogMie superintended part of that education, ike gfrvend conduct of 1 was left to their fond hod efficient governess. And what had Ella, the once gayandbrfliant Elia, who for more than eighteeiryears ad sported through life, scarcely conscious dt' he existence of such a thing as care? vhnt had she to reconcile her to a life of concious watchfulness and never-ceasing thooghtf ihe had the smiles of an approving conscience, lie affection of the little ones for Whom she ived, and the hope of being one day permitted o present them, in the world above, to tho 11 other from whom she had received the rharge. And, as she watched thegrowing ihelligence with almost a mother's pride, oi4 felt heir little arms twined roand her riecK, and heir warm lips pressed to her cheek, she hought herself fully repaid for everjr bour of mxiety, every feeling of responsibility' and rare. The weight, too, had eome^gradually lpon her, and was therefore less heavily felt. Yt first, she was simply the teacher of ihe lit lu ones; then, ns Mrs. Grant's health gave way, one duty after another was assumed to elieve t!>e invalid, until, long before hef^death, die had under her direction the entite charge >f the domestic concerns, and, when that look dace, she became the nominal, as she fibd beore been the real, head of the fyhgft ** But this was too peaceful and happy a state :o remain altogether undisturbed; and'nimora, for some time in circn'atipn in the congregation of which she was a memWr afid Mr. Srant pastor, began tp reach MissMasoo. She hnd always looked upon tier tjiinteter as being apart from the rest of the world, one not to be spoken of lightly, nor approached with ?ven tliesh dow of disrespect; nor had a daily uompamtively familiar intercourse with him ever removed this impression from her Dund^Vords would fail to express her grist ami indignation at hearing, from cue whom she bad deemed a friend, that the name of .this honored being bad been coupL-d with her own in light words and lighter jests, and that hi* comparative seclusion from his people had boen attributed to other causes than grief for the wife he bad so tender. 1 1 ..???*! AM ? 1 ?-* n\nn t/?/l HIVCU, ou uci pij laiii^iiicu* v 'An angel from Heaven would not escape eensme from those who would speafi thus of Mr. Grant? she exclaimed, unable to fcstrain tlie expression of her indignation. Htf ever there was a l>. i.)g on earth whose lift might challenge the closest scrutiny, it is his1/'1 have no doubt you think so, Miss Mason/ said her gratified informant, smiling maliciously; ' but others'? **"* 'Others!' she interrupted, impatiently. 4And who knows Mr. Grant so well as I?' 'No one, certainly; but I was only ^joing to observe that they would scarcely thiuk you a disinterested witness.' A withering reply rose to the lips of the etfiled girl; but she felt that it was worse than useless to prolong the conversation,,and, suppressing her feelings, directed it into anothei fhannel; and the lady visitor, having succeeded ii the object of her call, ami obtained fresh material for gossip, soon took her departure, eaving Ellajto thoughts sad and agitated, bevend any she had ever known before; And ret it was rather feeling than thought, for of thought she was just then scarcely capable; but the emotions awakenei by what she bad hoard were too powerful for control, and lean ing her bead on t!ie arm of the sofa where she was sitting, she wept unrestrainedly and bitterly. [To be Con! if Hied.] Caution ? Arriden' from Camphenr.?A camphene lamp exploded on Saturday night in the ivvelling of Mr. Joseph Lhislow, in Meeting street, and l>urnt an interesting female child, ahout 8 or 9 years of age. She lies iiow in a very critical condition. A male sertant at. tempted to fill the lamp after it \r?a lighted, and the child vainly dissuading him from doing so, endeavored to put it out, during which the explosion took place, and besides hording the child, set fire to the furnitute of the room, which was however, extinguished without further damage. ? * - ' ?.1?
