By MRS. SOUTIIWORTII
It was early en the morning, of a toe dy
cl.ty in Jiine, 1800, that a rather large group
of idlers gathered in front of the Ethefldge
Arhus, a quaint old tavern, in thn ancient
litt.l, town of Swinburne, In the west ~.of
England.
TZ their looks and conyetsation, it was ev
ident Mat some event of unusual importance
was eipected to 'come off. .
They were in fact, awaiting the arrival of
the mail coach, which wa...4 to bring down
Colonel Hastings, and his son Albert, who
was the bridegroom elect of Lady Etheridge,
Baroness of Swinburne, the last of her race,
and sole heiress of the immense wealth and
vast estates ot her lordly ancestors
The nuptials were to hie celebrated on the
following-day ; and the neighbors of the no
ble_brido, wbo. almost wciatippen her for her
goodnestrptheart, %vitro anxious to see the
man who " ' was to be !ten - beloved " lady's
husband."
They had not on to wait. The coach
soon came thundering up to the dour ; and
as soon as the steps were let down by the
obsequious landlord, Colonel Hastings issued
forth. Ile was as elderly gentleman, tall,
spare and stooping : was clothed in a suit of
black ; and his pale,' thin, long face was
surrounded by hair and whiskers prema
turely gray. Ile was closely attended by
his secretary, Ferdinand Cassinove -an Ital•
lan, of such graceful mein and dignified
bearing. that ho might have been taken for
a prince of the blood attended by an old
gentleman in waiting.
Next came forth a young gentleman,
NN hose handsome person and haughty man•
ner at once attracted general attention. His
form was tall, and finely .proportioned,
crowned by a haughty head and face, with
high aquiline features, fair and fresh com
plexion, light. bine- eyes., sod --very tight,
flaxen hair His expression of countenance,
in keeping with his whole manner, was
stern almost to repellant severity. Great
beauty of person, with great dignity of man•
ner, forms a combination very attractive to
most young women, and perhaps it was this
that nominated the young heiress of Swill

After 1 slight repast, Colonel Hastings,
attended by Catsinove, drove off to the cas
tle to have a I.reliminary interview with
Lady EtheriJgo, (who was his ward) and at•
range the marriage settlements. On arriving
at the lordly castle, Cassinovo was shown
into a sinew room, while the colonel pro
ceeded to the library, whither his ward was
requesied to come ro meet him
As the young Italian paced up and down

the puttiresque landscape beyond, suddenly,
among the roses outside, glided a purple
draped fennle figure that immediately riv

earliest bloom of youth As young Cassi•
noire gazed upon her reflected image, as he
never gazed upon her, he felt as though a
goddess had suddenly descended among the
flowers. liar form wits above the medium
height, and well rounded. Her head was
finely formed, and covered with jet black,
glittenng hair, that was
. plainly parted over
her broad, eapansive and swept
around the temples, and wound into a rich
and massive knot, at the back of tho head.—
llar eyes were large, luminous, dark gray
orbs, that seemed; whenever the long veil of
lashes was lifted, to throw a light wherever
they glanced. IFer nose was straight and
well formed, her lips rounded, and, like all
the rest, full of character. In tho carriage
of her head pod neck, and in her stately
footsteps, there was a natural majesty' that,
eyed in a_peasant's dress, would have prov
ed her one of nature's queens. do-
The impression made upon the enthusiaa
astio heart of Ferdinand I...msmove was at
once vivid, deep, and strong—quick as sun

into the room. and is she approached him
he felt his whole (reuse thrill with a strange
emotion of blended pain and delight. He
dreaded to move, yet; as the needle turns to
the magnet, he felt himself turning from the
reflected image to fare the original. He
'stood before that queenly form, and met
those large, luminous, dark eyes fixed upon
him in royal graciousness, as she said—
"You are Colonel fluting's secretary, I
believe, sir. Pray sit down. You will find
the London papers on tho table." And,
with a gracetbi bow, the lady passed him,
and seated herself on a sofa at the extremity
of the room, took upa portfolio, and was
110011 deeply engaged with its contents.
After the profound bow with which he
had returned her courtesy, Ferdinand Oassi

Taking a course opposite to that which led
to Swinburne Castle, Albert Ilastings soon

Rose came at last; and as soon as the first
joyous greetings were over, the intrigueing

to a secret marriage ; for he well knew, by
a thousand tests of character, that ho could
never gain his purpose unless Rose believed
herself to be his wife. Ills task was a hard
one; but he finally succeeded, by promising

This was not all that Mr. Ilastingit wish
