Mb. he; with nobility- stumped iiiiolllsrit ery feature-Of Masotti, is often crush- ad down by the iron hand 'of sordid, narrow-rdinded Oppression. The world's aristocracy is dot one of 'mental predominance;—that ilrinci ple of the mind which invests its possessor with imaginaty conse quence, because of birth or fortune, Is anything in its character but lofty or,ennobling; iti essence is itobecill , ty. of intellect, and its development the sickly offspriog of .a- hopelessly diseased parent. But to our simple story. Bolin Aberly had, in his mental constitution, the elements of 'unhap piness. SensitiVe and shrinking to a fault, he nevertheless had the nerve, when roused, to brave even death with a smile; but as a natural quence of such a constructed reaction was always fearfully paral izing. Added to this he was poor, and of course new little of this char itable, world's impartial sympathy. vet, mantle of clay never encased finer spirit, for his mind was one of bold and strong conceptions, and re fined in its character to the most del icate tone Of sensibility. I first rßet him in his eighteenth year at college, where he bad been b6nt by his father, a poor but Indus-' trious tradesman; who being a man of cultivated and intelligent mind, -and perceiving the passionate devo tion of his son to literary pursuits.' reduced as far as possible the wants of his family, in order to give him ' all the fortune'he could ever bestow, a good education. To acquire this Bolin bent all hisstrongenergies, and soon stood at the head of his class; but as he made no-display in dress or money, and never Joined the stu dents in their diversions, or associa ted at all with any hut myself, he soon becam e obnoxious to most in the university, and frequently expe rienced a direct manifestation of the ill-feelings entertained for him. A trivia: insult he never noticed, or at.' least he never. mentioned, ._ bukhisl proud spirit, when chafed beyond en durance, would brook no invasion of direct,immediate satisfaction. Whenever he could exercise a favor. or do.a kindness' to' any, his atten tions Were ever of the most bland and delicate character; but farther he would not cultivate an intimacy, and never was known to solicit, dr receive a proffered faVor from any during his whole - terna at college. I often remonstrated with him up-. on the folly of his, constant F t ecluelen from society, but his invariable an swer was. "They who initially despise each- . other can have no genuine fellow ship." "8u1 z , .! said I, ono day, "this is all a silly prejudice, a chimera of your awn imagination. You cause your self to be looked upon with suspi. cion, simply from the reason that you seem to regard all about you with the same feeling. Cast aside every, false impression which circum ,stunre 'warranted op in your mind. and take by the hand your neighbor an open-hearted kindness and good and youVIII soon learn that -frlennahlp Isnot a plant of such hot 'house production as you imagine.", • He smiled bitterly as he replied. "Can forget that my lot is cast .with ;the despised • children of poverty? :and ran I book the concealed sneer 'of the domineering and heartless? !Nni—no! Before I • would Stoop to an association with such as calculate Worth by dullard, and merit bir age, I would waste my inglorious life in the cell of an anchorite." • -Hiseye flashed, and . hi, usually pale cheek burned with suppressed indignation, while his low, deep Al most husky tones. uttered the send menta-just noted. • - The circumstance may be thought ti trivial one to call out any manifes. tation of strung feeling, but in early years.the mind suffers as intensely yirhen acted upon:by, a ,painfully ex citing eIUSS, ad , itdoes In after Illa by Influencw which woffid sectu with , ering beyond comparison; with the mental " afflictions of youth.

The tender cadences of his voice fell like passion's strongest appeal upon her heart, and its inward re sponse was wild and free as aro ever young . gushing impulses. Her arm clung more firmly to his, and, though her tongue tried , not an utterance of strong affection of her heart, yet that one silent act of confidence was an answer more fully expressive of all she felt than ever words could utter. After Bolin Aberly left college he made anapplication for the sitdation ofprivate tutor, In the family of a rich Virginia planter, who possessed all the haughty pride which could characterize one esteeming himself for his wealth alone. His offer was accepted, and two sons and a beauti ful daughter, just. sixteen, were pla ced under his charge. The progress of his pipits was such as to give en tire satisfaction to the father, and Rolla remained in the family for nearly two years. , Anne Wilmer was a delicate, fair creature; bora to•eaptivate,' and liv ing but to chain affection wherever her influence acted to. To a mind like that which Rolin Aberly pos sessed, it was impossible to come In contact with and love one like Anne; and a year had scarcely passed ere the young tutor was wound round by a web of feeling which no hand could unravel.— •'True love bath worldleso language all Its own Health In the heart; and it was not long before the only one in existence whom he wished to know his affection, penetrated the mystery, and her downcast eye and reddening cheek often responded to the involuntary iratone which fell from his lips. Time passed on, but Rolin made no declaration of his deep idolatry of feeling. Anne's seventeenth year was drawing to a close, and many suitors were already centring their attentions at her father's house; but she encouraged none., Though Ab erly had given her no attentionsl manifestation of affection, yet she' loved him and knew that his heart offered a full return. Her father never imagined for a moment that the dependent on his bounty, as he thought him. would ever aspire to touch the hand of his patron'sdaughter. But, though Bolin was poor, he esteemed himself second to no human being, and not withstanding he dared not hope for a commotion so ardently desired as that of calling Anne his own, yet he hesitated not to think that ho had an equal right with any to sue for, and if powible wiu, her affections. A thought like a betrayal of confidence crossed his mind. but his proud splr it spurned an idea, that would place him below any who wore the garb of manhood. Frequently an evening walk was proposed by sometimes one and some times the other of the parties, and it was, an occasion of this kind which afforded, et length, an opportunity for Bolin to make the - declaration with which this chapter opens. They walkedon each wraped up in an intensity of 'feeling, which si lence made only more burdensome. "Atine;" at length asked Bolin, "will - you bo mine? Stich a question at once roused her to a stern sense of the utter impos4- billty of over gaining her father's consent to such a un!on, and her own abiding reluctance to disobey pawn fat authority, - which had ever been of the - most' Order affeetionate character. She pauqed so long for an answer, that the impatient spirit of Aberly Chafed within him, and he soon re peated the question !nit tone so equiv ocal to Anne's ear, that she immedi ately reanonded,--- • "If my fgther's consent can ' be gained.'

To one of his mental constitution, with-whom an object of affection, was one ofalmost passionate idolatry, dear as life itself, no intimidation can exert an influ ence, when It comes in contact with all that can add to or sustain happi ness.. He went seeordingly one afternoon, and requested an intervlew: "Is Anne at hotne'fn ha- asked of the : servant who met him at the door, "She . keen I see her 'PI "No,lair." wbx • —von csinms - - - ww-ner t -ertir"-f -the 'closed the door In face. The- disappoirited lever slowly tamed from the door at which he had been so roughly denied admis sion, and wandered away heart-sick, and disappointed. Only once ho loosed back upon the walls which contained hia soul's idol, and then he imagined that he 'Jaw a white handkerchief waving from the win dow. of An nes chamber. His health,wilich had necome very delicate for some time , past, now de clined more rapidly under the agony of mind which he suffered, and for some months he was confined to his room, and a greater ,part of the pe riod to his heti. A reaction, howev er. then took place, and he slowly re covered, but with chilled feeling and shattered constltution.t. All this while he could learn little of Anne that brought a consoling reflection, unless the universal admission by all who saw her, that she was far from beine happy, contained that soothing opiate Pale and care-worn in countenance, Rolin paced hurriedly his chamber floor, ever and anon consulting a tiine-piece which stood upon the mantle. "I am poor," he said bitterly, to himself—"l am poor, and must step aside for the pampered minion of en titled wealth, I must yield up a jew el of priceless value, to a sickly scion of fashion and of rank; and he must wear a gem that would glitter in a monarch'sdiadern. But will I tame ly stand aloof from such a sacrifice!, ? No! I will tear her from his grasp at the very alter ! My voice shall be heard in denunciation of suclj a 'un ion. Oh ! she cannot, must not, shall not utter that solemn vow for anoth er! Madness!" Wrought up to a feeling of desper ation, he hurried to the house of Mr. Wilmer, and in the bustle and con fusion of a nuptial occasion passed iu as one of the guests and mingled with the gay cotripmiy assembled. The brilliance of every thing around.— the rich massive splendor of the fur niture—the gaudy curtains and princely decorations. brought home to his heart, in painful contrast, the desolate poverty of his own condi tion. And the happy. ringing laugh of joyous, light-hearted maidens, mingling with the soft-breathing melody of chastened music, fell like scorching flue upon his bosom, for it came a mockery to feelings which were wild and agitated as the storm fettered ocean. Suddenly the music ceased—a slight stir arose at the entrance—the company pressed towards the center, and he, was thrown into the middle of the room where the bridal party were led out to be joined in that tie which naught but death can sever. Anne cane forward like a mere au tomaton. She was pale as the white robes that wrapt her delicate form, and seemed, more fragile than the col orless blossoms which decked her hair of raven blackness. , Her step was slow aud measured, and her eye rested upon the floor. Rutin mark ed all this at a glance, and he knew that she most be faithful to his love and his only. The ceremony commenced and proceeded. The intended husband responded to the impressive tones of the ministerOf God—and as the holy man turned to receive her answer. she, for the first time, raised her head, and all who saw her counte fintiaxonednmw.wh despair,leereh re! s ta led t a e d e r dt upony e a t t " s i t t t e li r e n k r aw k d o r f y l burning eyes glanced hurriedly ground for a moment, and became suddenly arrested by the figure of Rolin. - who stood statue-like before her. With one wild shriek she flung her self into his arms, and sobbed hyster ically upon his bosom. "Oh knew' you would come! I knew yon would come! I will net, cannot be his bride I" and her whole frame trembled iti the firm clasp of her lover. `; MENG 0111221:11 BEM .1' • I -1.

Bolin rose up from the sofa where he bad been sitting w piared Atmeten duly, upon it, bent.over her for= a moment In agitated silence,ond then said, loud enough to be heard by all ; "Anne, you once said, if your fath er's consent could not be gained to our union it could not be a happy one. The consent he positively re fused to give once, now he bas yield ed, in what spirit I will not pretend to say. Yon have said to-night that you would marry me under any cir cumstances. You are now free to relinquish that promise, if you dare not stem a father's gathering indig nation—yet, if you will be mine. hero is heart. hand, life, all et your command. And I swear to cherish you, while a single glimmer of exis tence remains." He did not wait for an answer, but led her'out before the minister, and commanded him In a firm voice, to proceed. No interruption occurred until just at the moment of Anne's response, when Wilmer laid his hand heavily upon her shoniderand whis pered hoarsely In - herear this with er curse— "Give him your hand, faithless child ! but from this hour a father's frown shall follow you, and a father's mversvati Craw • unar Cbildren; unto e r . th rfl -and a) lor generations. him! and may be find you an unfaithful wife, as 'I have proved you to be a faithless daughter. From this hour I cut you off from my estateand my affections, and when I press the cold pillow of death, remeti3ber a daughter's hand prepared the chilly resting place. You have utted the fatal word that irrevocably binds you to a man that has wantonly betrayed a father's fond confidence, and no retribution can cancel my hatred for him, or turn away the wrath I have invok ed npon him." Anne looked up like a hart star tled by the distant cry of the hunters, a withering wreath of agony circles about her compressed lips, then a wild flashing glance rested an instant upon Bolin, passed off to her stern, yet half, relenting father, and a loud, merry laugh bounded in harrowing reverberations through the ; crowded apartment. The fearful truth need scarcely be , uttered—Anne Wilmer, the beauti ful. the accomplished, the loved of a thousand sincere hearts, looked up from that awful malediction, with a vacant laugh, and an idiotic expres sionl stare. Like experience, repentance often come; to late. When Wilmer saw the wreck of his lovely daughter lie fore him—heard her unmeaning laugh, and felt her slender arms twining around his neck in childish simplicity and fondness, all of the parent rushed to his heart in a flood of ungovernable emotion- To Rolin, who had started back. horror-strick en, as the awful consciousness of the mighty weight of ruin which had fallen upon his head, burst upon his mind, he spake one kind word, and then bore his unresisting daughter from the room to her own chamber. CHAPTER IV. I will run my story down some five or ten years from the date of the incidents detailed in the preceding chapter. I had not seen Rolin from the time of his leaving college,though T had heard. incidentally, some of the painful details related to the reader. I also learned that Anne continued still to labor undera slight mental derangement, and that Rolin, who so fearfully became her husband, was living at her father's 'house, de voting his time and attentions , te his wife, in endeavoring to call back the truant spark of reason. Passing through that section of Virginia where ho resided. I determ ined to stop and pay him a short visit, for the sake of old reminiscen ces. As I rode up through the long rows of stately poplars which lined the avenues to Wilmer's splendid mansion, I saw Rolin walking to ward me with a lovely girl, in the early bloom of womanhood, leaning fondly upon his arm, and pointing out to him the rich variegation of colors and beautiful symmetry of a flower which she held in her hand. He lifted his head at the sound of my horse's feet, but did not at first recog nize me; a second look, however, made him start, and he exclaimed with a pleasant smile. "My old friend L-- "The -- "The same." A servant who was standing near took my horse, and I fi rst learned who was the toveiy creature clinging to his arm "Let me Introduce you to Mrs. Aberly." A slight smile passed over her fea tures; but there was no expression of interest upon them for the friend of her husband. Rol:n craw that I marked it, and a shade of agony, such as must have ever rested upon his heart, flitted over his countenance, but it was of brief existence. A gray-headed, care-worn looking old gentleman met us at the door, as we drew near the house, 'whom Bolin introduced to me as Mr. Wil mer. Se took me kindly by the hand and welcomed me in a quiet, subdued, almost *saddened tone, to the hospitalities of his mansion.

ME CHAPTER P. The quiet repose ofa beautiful sum mer evening bad stolen over the face of nature, and the setting su n looked smilingly into the open ^window of Rolin's private chamber, where he mt, before a table loaded with a pro fusion of books and papers, display ing the taste and erudition of their possessor. 'His 'hand supported his head,. and'his 'arc rested ,upon an open volume of old romance, from which he had read until some inci dent flung back his mind in - gloomy contemplation ofhis own heart-rend ing relations. His still lovely wife was his daily, hourly companion; but she was one of pleasure only to the eye, for her mind was a blank to all fixed im pressions. None but such as have witnessed the - mental imbecility of one dearer to them than all else earth can offer beside, can imagine, even the most remotely, how litre leaden weight ,of immovable sorrow the heart-crushing sense of Anne's afflic tion bore upon Rolin's feelings. While in her presence his face ever wore a - pleasant, interested smile; for if a cloud shadowed . it a moment, as in foriner times it had done, she became tearfully concerned;—but when alone and conscious that no eye observed him, the pent up sor rows of his aqui sought relief, and his bowed head, Its broad temples fevered and throbbing, would rest in agonized intensity of feeling upon his bosom. His grief was wearing him to , the _ bodily prostration were , becoming of much too frequent occurrence. From the hour old 31.r.'Wilreer awoke to the awful sense of how deeply he' had sinned against his daughter's - happiness, .he was:- a changed man. A moment seemed to have done the work of half a century. The haughty pride of - hie heart wasuubdued into a :feeling of self impotency, and he seemed to have forgotten in an instant all the imaginary consequence which for merly lent its bewildering blandish ment-4 to his own conceptions of his character. He took Rolin at once into his regard; settled upon him a large portion of his estate, and' extended toward him all rho kindness and at tention of parental partiality. Wheth er i t were a real feeling or a species of atonement for the injury he had wrought his daughter, Rolin never pretended to question, he received the manifestation as real, and then let his mind settle, where it mist settle, immovabiy, upon the beloved afflicted partner of his broken heart. It would -be in vain, us it would be soul harrowing to a mind of re fined perceptions, to trace in any of their painful minute the intidents of such a life as circumstance, that apparent , stern ruler of our destiny, caused Rolla Aberly to endure. Few nave strength of imagination suffi cient to realize the icy coldness of feelings which must have stolen over him, in witnessing the withered blossoms on such a stem,—who will even dare to fancy circumstances so fraught with agony as those which gathered like clouds of almost elm merian darkness around him , . Who -will be willing to read the destiny of • one doomed to listen to the maniac laugh of the idol of his affections—to fold to his bosom the lovely form of her who had chained the uevotiou of his young heart, and yet know that the form pressed there held no spirit of bright intellimence, and amid all this, to be forced . to wear a smiling face, though the wing of despair which brooded over his mind was black as Egyptian darkness! While Rohn was sitting absorbed. in thought, as we have seen him at the commencement of this chapter, he started like one pierced by a dag ger,, as a loud, agonizing cry, or I rather shriek, echoed .along the garden justunder his window. He glanced his eye below and saw Anne running madly towards the house screaming mann ecsatcy of terror, the 'cause of which he could not perceive. Hurrying down from his chamber lie found her in the'hall, where she had fallen to the floor insenaible, `her eyes starting from her head, and the -white froth oozing from her tightly C3/111pres.:5* lips. In stooping to pick her up he gsw a bloody scar upon her neck, and as he lifted her from the floor, a venomou.s serpent glided like an arrow from the folds of her garments and shot out of the house. His first act was to apply his lips to the wound and draw' ut , the poison. and then to bear her, still unconscious to her chamber. For three weeks she continued. in a low nervous fever, during all which period she lay with her eyes.,,elosed, and manifesting.but imperfect •sytiip tons of consciousness or even exist ence_ Toward the end of that time a change occurred for the better. I Rolin, who watched by her side - With a patience which no fatigue could impair, was sitting ono even ing just as the fervid sun of a sultry ° day had settled behind one of the distant ,mountain ranges, . watching with painful interest the unusually agitated features of his lovely Wife. Suddenly her 'eyes opened, end rest ed upon him with a look of surprise ed intelligence; wandered round the room inquiringly, and then. fixed again upon his countenance, while a confused blush mantled her whole face. Rollin started up in au agony of boy, and bent fondly over her, but she shrank away, and ask in a timid tone for her father: Then pressing her hand. upon her brow where the veins. were' beginning to deepen ,See fourth page
