lie doors of US traidiobti were open, Iml

iiuick eye rupied the let'era he broke the
seals, but they gave no clue to lier destina
tion, Wild with Rnel, lie threw hltnseit
upon her bed, tad sobbed like child.
Keen as was Ilia inotlincalion, i( was it
nothing- in comparison Willi lite remorse
which that one upbraiding sentence caused
inn. He had been lo blame he had ex
pected loo much of one bo young, so peltrd
and admired. Himself tick of the folly and
lieirllcssucss of the world, lie had expected
her lo renounce il before a single pleasure
had palled. Bitterly did lie lament his short
igliteuuess. lor he saur the terr course he
had taken was calculated lo wean her from
him and to. Potter deception, but he had dis
covered il ton late J Then came thoughts
of the world's sneer he should be pointed
out as "as Hat Mr DuAUy, trJese wife had
ran away from him," and perhaps some
would even dare to brealhe injurious reports
egaruing her character. Maddened with
the tliouglilj he rushed wild!' from f lie
house, and hastened lo Mr Ellis, his wife's
father.
Scarcely less great was the agony of the
parent, but it came with such itunuing
weight that for a time it stupifled him.
Mrs Ellis went immediately around In her
daughter's house, while Mr Ellis and .Mr
Dudley visiled all the depots of the different
lines, but found nothing which could guide
Ihem in determining' which she had taken.
After a day of ceaseless anxiety and useless
toil, Air I'.llts returned with the neatly bro-
ken-hearlcd Cecil, lo his desolate dwelling.
Air Dudley entered Ins wile s chamber.
This time he look up the. miniature and
opencJ the case. The gleaming eyes look
ed reproachfully upon him, and with a cry
of agony he (auk upon the floor.
air bins immediately went lor their lam
ily physician, leaving his wife with Cecil.
When they relumed he was bled, but lie
awoke delirious.
"Those eyes I those eyes!" he would
scream," take Ihem away, they bum my

how devotedly he had loved how madly he
iad- worshipped. Hut the one alone whoso
voice had power to soothe him was lar
away, sintering cieii more intenacly than
himself, for her reason was not dethroned.
l lie excitement which had buoyed her up
the night previous lo her departure, forsook
her immediately alter she felt the house.
She then fell that all ahe held dear in life
was buried to her. She wondered at her
pride, and longed In throw herself al liia
feet, and plead for forgireness. Dm ahe
had gone loo far, she could not return.
Alter she reached New xork, ahe or-
lered her baggage to be removed on to a
sortli River boat, which lay aide by aide
with the one the was on.
"That does n't no up the river to-night.
Miss; bul that one further along goes up
n a lew hours, shall l pui your baggage
n V said the porter she hail addressed.
Mrs Dudley bowed her head and follow'
d him. She entered llie elegant saloon of
he Knickerbocker, and taking a berth, laid
own and tried to sleep, but there seemed
be no rest for her. Hours she lay mo
louless, wilh the damask curlaim drawn
losely around her, her open eye! fixed up-
n the one little window, aud her head
hrobbing wilh intense pain. At supper
me she drank the cup of tea which the
sually kind and thoughtful chambermaid
uad brought her, and lli'i acted at a qui-
tut upon her excited nerres, and ihetlcpt.
it was iiiorniiiir wneu sue awoxe annual
the bustle and confusion of a stoppage al a
city wharf. She had intended to have slop-
ep al some small country town, and disap
pointed, the turned lo the chambermaid ;
"Does mo boat go no lurtheri tliesatu.
"No, we hate reached Albany; but she
gors back lo the city to-day."
Mrs Dudljr arose, gave her baggage into'
tne care ot tne mat Hack-driver who spone
lo her, and followed,
"To what hotel shall I drive, Miss I" he
aaid.
"It is of uo consequence any," she re
plied. The carriage at length slopped in from
of an ill looknig, dirly. third-rate house,
and Mrs Dudley fell a repugnance to enter
il. A slago wat directly in f'ont of tho
doer, and alio asked where it was going.
"To Springfield, Miss' was the reply,
She ordered her baggage lo be put on,
and took a seat in llie sttgo, which already
held several passengers. She wasnaleand
exhausted, und a matronly-looking lady up
on the back seat insisted upon her taking a
seat beside her. Emma leaned back in
one corner of the coach. Weary and deso.
late ahe did indeed look. Tho remaining
oasseiiL'ers were a eentleniarl, a 'young girl
about fourteen, and an elder brother of the
last. Mrs Dudley gleaned irotn tne con
vertation of these two. that they were re.

Her voice was tremulous as she paused,

Mine is Mrs Eiston; snd what shall I call

Emma's face was painfully flushed.
This was her first temptation In deception
since her new resolve., but she struggled
wilh it and obtained the victory,
"Mine is Emma Dudley," she replied,
but her answer had been to lardy that Mrs
Eatton fell a sudden feeling of distrust creep

would throw out all distrust until tome act

When Emm.;, mentioned her name, the
gentleman opposite filed his large, grey
eyes upon her.
"Are you from Philadelphia I" he said.
This time Emma answered without the
least hesitation :
"I am."
"t once knew a Dudley from Philadel
phia he was a classmate of mine at Vale,
anil as noble a fellow as ever lived."
"There ate many familiea of thai name,
I expect," replied Emma, in a faltering lone
of voice, but her heart whispered lo her
that the one the stranger meant must be he
whose name ahe bore. She pressed her
hand against her heart lo quiet its painful
beatings, while ths stranger remarked
"His name was rather an uncommon one,

CHAPTER IV.
The first weeks of Emma Dudley's en
gagement as a teacher passed wearily and
heavily to her. How calmly ahe looked
back now and renewed the feverish haste
wilh which she had rejected ihe then hu
miliatiog present fur the utiknown future.
Ah! deeply did she regret the wretched
pride which had kept her from confessing
her faults to the husband who had been so
lenient and kind to her inauy errors. How
plainly ihey rose before her those same
errors which had led to her seii-oanisiimeni :
Wiil. n.itimer ami without murmuring she
bore the penance she had inflicted her life
becajne one of continued effort, bul she fjl-
tere not in the painful path she had cho-
sen.
"I will become worthy of him," washer
constant thought, and this gave her strength
to persevere when her delicste frame was
wearied, and her spirit faint with self re
proach, which, constantly nestling in her
bosom, stung her heart to ils inmost core.
Daily from its wounded depths arose
prayer and thanksgiving, that in the wild
ness of her grief, when her mind had been
shrouded in darkness and bitterness, and
she had sought the quiet of the grave that.

-Mrs Easlon had proved a most excellent
friend. She was fully convinced that there
waa some secret connected with her pro
tege's past life, bul wilh a delicacy which
Emma appreciated, she forbore alluding lo
Ihe incidents of the day of their meeting,
snd Emma't ttcrtt remained untold, and
eieu Uiicoujeclured.
Atone in her school-room Emma sal,
She taught drawing in the afternoon, and
her music lessons were given in Ihe morn
ing. It was near sunset, and Emma had
remained lo finish several drawinga for her
pupils. She heard from afar the bugle horn
of the stage-coach wilh which (tie driver
alwaya announced his approach to Ihe vil
lage. She leaned her head upon her hands and
wept. With the teaia came memories of
the loved one who had always caressed her
more fondly when any light grief had over
shadowed her joyous spirit yearning mem
ories which would not be stifled or sub
dued. "Ah, Cecil," ahe sobbed, ("what have I
done! how can I live through this separa
tion, my husband 1 ami 1 1 I alone am lo
bjame !"
A door opened from an adjoining room,
and Mrs Easton passing through, drew a
seat beside Emma's.
"My child, you know me loo well lo
think I have come to you with any motives
of curiosity, I heard your violent weeping,
and I hesitated in disturbing you, but I
overheard what I know you did not intend
or wish mo lo know, and I came lo tell you ;
aud to beg of you to roaka me tho confidant
of your troubles will you tell me, and let
me sympathize with you"
"I cannot I caunot," sobbed Emma,
"they are all my own fault, and I deserve
no sympathy you would only despise me,
if you knew."
"I have studied your character for a
month, Emma, and 1 am sure you could
never have done anything iutenlionallv bad
nothing for which I could despise you,
i oner you my warmest sympathy tor your
sorrows, whatever Ihey are will you accept
it?"
"No, I lhank you, dear, kind, good Mrt
Easlon, hut you do nol know"
"No Emma, I know I do not, neither
shall I unless you confide in me," and Mrs
Easton drew her tenderly towards her,
Emma's heart opened al once, aud clasp
ing Ihe hand of her friend, she poured out in
broken words the history of her married
lire.
Mrs Easlon was astonished at the reel
tat astonished that Emma could haveaso
resolutely banished herself from such a
home astonished at the want of knowl
edge of the world, which she had shown In
braving its opinion. Her heart bled as she
thought of ihe undreampt of mortification:
which were in store for her sensiliro spirit
tho many hours of unavailing regret
which her Impulsive act. would ever cause
tier.
She saw at a glance the agony of the bus-
band the keen mortification of lbs man
of the world aud the distorted view which
Emma had taken, forgetting in her own
wretchedness the misery the was inflicting
upon others ; but although this immediately
presented itself to her mfnd. iho hesitated
in inflicting new pangs in the heart of the
already sufficiently suffering Emma,
Suddenly s shadow flitted past them, and
raising their eyes they both rested Ihem up-
on the tali form which darkened the door
way how pale was the strikingly handsome
face I A step farther and Emma sprang
into the outstretched arms. With wild
sobs she clung around his neck ; Cecil,
weak ftom his previous illness, and over
cotnc wilh the excitement of the meeling,
staggered lo a seat ; where, supporting her
in his arms, lie bent orer her with the fond
look of other days.
Mrs Eastnn left them alone snd it was
well, for oh, there was so much to.tay. In
that hour Ihey read more of each other' s
hearts than many married couples bato read
in a life-time. How bitterly Emma chided
herself for causing that wan and pallid
brow! how tenderly Cecil folded his ' wifo
to his heart, resolving that she should nev
er know cause for grief again 1 how Tilled
were both their hearts with happiness that
their troubles were so toon over I
Again and again she questioned him.
He told her of alt the agony he endured
when he found that the had gone of his
severe illness, of the forethought of her pa
rents, who had immediately discharged the
sertanta before Ihey had time even to sus
pect tho absence of their mistress. The
physician and an old nurse, who had been
for years in their family, had been their
only confidants, and so well had everything
been managed that not one out of their Im
mediate family suspected her absence.
"But how, Cecil, camo you lo think of
finding mo here!"
"Can you not imagine, my dearest!"
"No, I have tried in vain to think."
"During my illness a letter waa sent to
me, which not having my place of business
upon, was adrertised before I received it:
When I opened it I found it from an old
college friend "
"Ah, Cecil 1 aiid you know the whole t"
interrupted Emma.
" YeSjdarliiig, 1 know all all the wrelch-
edness which my poor little wife must have
endured before she could have yielded to
such a dreadful temptation ; but let us bury
tho past, and live lor the future; lor this
bitter lesson will not be a useless one. My
friend wrote me the particulars of his meet
ing with you, and when, where, &e., and,
asked if you were a near relative. I, with
your father, immediately made arrangements
to travel we left home the next day,
and your parents arc now awaiting ui in
New York, where we shall join them, and
spend the Summer togclhcr in traveling.
Shall wo not be happy, Emma!"
"I do not deserve sucti Happiness," sne
replied, her dark eyes glittering with tears.
"Aud I, Emma, feel as though I hardly
deserved you for not understanding you.'

dispositions cor study. But it is too late

dear we are to each other, and I am thank
ful we have learned before It was too late."
They made immediate preparations to
leave on Ihe ensuing day.
Airs r-aston rejoiced in her young friend a
sppineas, and felt greatly relieved when
he found that owing to her patents, fore
thought, she would not have the causes of
mortification which ahe had anticipated.
On the ensuing morning they parted, and
cimmu i setrtt remained sale with AIra Eat
ton,
Her meeting wilh her parents was extreme
ly touching. They wept over her, chiding
her through their tears, bul Emma watto
changed, to humble, to penitent for the past
that their wordt of censure changed to ex
pressions of the deepest and the purest love.
They lorgot the torturing anxiety or Ihe past
four weeks in-the blissful meeting.
In conversing wilh ihem, Emma realized
for the first lime the suspicious nature of
the step she had taken how narrowly ahe
had escaped the sneers of a world ever ready
lo suspect and the felt renewed thankful
ness for, the misery she had escaped.
Their Summer was spent in journeying
through the most beautiful portions of the,
North, and late in the season they returned
lo their elegant house in town.
Mrs Dudley's friends came thronging to
see her, among the first, Mrs Howell.
"well, l.mma, she said, alter their salu
tations were over, "do you nol feel repaid
for devoting yourself ao constantly lo your
husband during his illness?"
"1 was not hair as devoted as I ought lo
have been, Anna," replied Emma, sadly,
"I am aure you could nol have been
more so every day I called, 1 received the
everlasting reply, 'Mr Dudley is very ill,
nnd Mrs Dudley tecs no ouel' '
"That was all very true; bul I caunot
hear lo think of hia illness, we have been so
happy since."
"Ah, 1 know thai very well, I saw the
Pelhams the other day they met you at
Niagara, and they said they should have
taken you for brida and groom, you were ao
devoted to cacn otner."
Mr Dudley entered.
"Mrt Howell, I am delighted lo tee you,

it, and perhaps now will be able to give

She smiled her reply, aud Mrs Howell
looked equally delighted, for it was the first,
