0 ELECTIVE AFFINITIES. A Notcl. OF oormx. chapter vm. (continued.) They ordinarily sat in the evening in the same places round a small table— Charlotte opposite to her, and the gentlemen on each side.

Charlotte and the. Captain observed this, and .exchanged many a qniet smile.; but they were both, taken by surprise at another symptom, in Qttille’s latent feeling aorideptellyjdisplayed itself. One evening, which had been partly spoilt for, themiby a tedious visit; Ed ward prnposedthat they should not sepa rate so early—be felt, inclined for music— he would take; bis flute,w b icir he had not done tof many 'days past.; ■ Charlotte 3ook-j ed for the sonataa which they generally played together, nodi they were not Jto be found, Oltllie, with sorae hesitation, said that they wereinvher room—she bad takentbem there tocopy ibem. ‘‘AncfyoU'CaPj accompany me on the piano ?*’ crkd ‘Edward, his eyes sparkling with pleasure. “I,think perhaps l ean,” answered Ot- tilie*- She brought tbo music and *st do wn to the instrument, The others listened, and were surprised to hear bow perfectly Ot tilia had taughtberselfthe piece—hut far more surprised were , thejral the . way im which the contrived 10. adapt herself to: Award’s style of playing, Adapt: her*’ self, is noji the right expression—Char. 1 )Ue’s flkiil and power enabled her, in or der to please >er husband, to beep op with him when he went too fogfe&nd hold in for him if £e Aesitated j but Ottilia, who had several; times heard them play the sonata together, seemed to. have learnt it according to the idea in which they accompanied each other—she had so completely, made his defects her own, that a kind of living whole resulted, from it, which did not, move indeed according to exact rule, but the effect of which was in the highest degree pleasant and delight ful. The composer himsell would not have ueeu t*, hoar ,h>o Trork dieflgar' ed in a manner so charming. Charlotte and the Captain watched this strange unexpected occurrence in Silence, with the kind of feeling with which we often observe the actions of children— unable exactly to : approve of them, from the serious consequences which may fob low, and yet. without being able to find fault, perhaps jvith a kindof envy. For, indeed, the regard ol these two for one another was.grpwing also, as well as tbat of the others—and it was perhaps only the more perilous because they were both stronger, more certain of themselves, and better able to restrain lh«msel vea. The Captain bad already begun to feel that a habit which be could not resist was threatening to bind him to Charlotte. He forced himself to slay away at the hour when she commonly used to be at the works; by getliog up very early in the morning be contrived to finish there whatever be had to do, and went back to the castle to hia work in hi 4 own room’. The first day or two Charlotte thought it was an accident —she loooked for him in every place where she thought he could possibly be. Then she thought she un derstood him —and admired him all the more. Avoiding, as the Captain now did. being alone with Charlotte, the =more indus triouslv did be labor to hurry forward the preparations for keeping her rapidly-ap preaching birth day with all splendor. While he was bringing up the new road from behind the village, he made the men, under pretence that he wanted stones, begin working top as well, and work down, In meet the others ; and he had calculated his arrangements so that the two should meet on the eve of the day. The excavations for the new house were already done ; the rock was blown away with gunpowder; and a fair foun dation-stone bad been hewn, with a hot. low chamber, and a fiat slab adjusted to cover it. This outward activity, these little mys terious purposes of friendship, prompted by feeling with more or less they were obliged to repress, rather prevented the little party when together from being as‘j lively as usual. Edward, who felt that there was a sort ol void, one evening call ed upon the Captain to fetch his violin Charlotte should play the piano, and ho should accompany her. The Captain was unable to refuse the general request, and they executed together one of the most difficult pieces of music with an ease, and freedom, and feeling, which could not but afford themselves, and the two who were listening to them, the greatest delight. They promised themselves a frequent rep etition of it, as well asjfurther practice together. “They do it fester than we, Otlilie/* said Edwatd ; “we will admire them —but we can enjoy*our?e’ves together too.” CHAPTBB DC.

The foundation stone, which With its angles typifies the just anglesof the build ing, with the sharpness of its moulding, the regularity of it, and with the truth of its lines to the horizontal and perpendic ular, the uprightness and equal height of all the waits, we might now without more ado let down—it would rest in its place with its own weight.

Upon which the hammer was placed next in Charlotte’s, and then in the others’ hands, to strike.six times with it,and con clude, in this expression, the wedlock of the stone with the earth, j “The work of the mason," went on the I speaker, “now under the free sky as we are, if it be not done in concealment, yet must pass into concealment —the soil will be laid smoothly in, and thrown over this stone, and with the walls which we rear into the daylight wc in the end are sel dom remembered, The works of the stone cutter and the carver remain under the eyes; but for us it is not to complain when the plasterer blots ont the last trace of our bands, and appropriates our work to himself; when be overlays it, and smoothes it, and colors it.

This time, however, it fell out otherwise The glass did not fall back to the earth and indeed without a miracle. In order to get forward with the build logs, they had already thrown out the whole of the soil at the opposite corner'; indeed, they had begun to raise the wall, and for this purpose had reared a scaffold as high as was absolutely necessary. On the occasion of the festival, boards bad beep laid along the top of this, .pud a number of spectators were allowed to stand there, it had been meant; prlnci pally for the advantage of the workmen themselves. The glass had flown up there, and bad been caught by one of them, who took it as a sign of good luck tor himself. He waved it. round without letting it out of bis band, aod tbe-letters E and Q were to be seen very richly cut upon it, running one into the other. It was one of the glasses which had been executed for Edward when he was a boy. Tbe scaffoldings were again deserted, and the most active among the party climbed up to look round them, and could outspeak enough* in praise of the beauty of the prospect on all sides.
