I REA Ida t I have sat some- minutes,
with my pen
,stispended in the air above my
yaper. %I havelbeen debating a delicate point
—I am in a po,ition. You will perhav re
collect thtit one of Fanny Forester's exqui
site sketches Was entitled 4,1,4:Dutt0n."
' tow it happens that the ;real name of the /
heroine of the "over true tile" which I am
,about to do myself the . honor of relating to
you, was no other than Lucy Dutton. Shall
I rob her of bor birthright—cOmpel her to
wear a nom-du guerre, because my sister-au
lhoress accidentally gave thetrue ' name to
one ef her ideal creations? Sh . I I sacrifice
truth ~ to delicacy? that's the question?—
"Nay" You•said no, did, yo not? Then
Lucy, Lucy Dutton, let it be._
Some forty year since, in the interior of
my beautiful nave State, New ,Yerk, lived
the'father of our heroine, an homist[ and re
spectable farmer. / He had but tWo children)
—Lucy, a noble irl of nineteen, and EVen,l
4"
a rear or two yo wen The firstinamed ( was
winningly, rather chau strikin 1 41 beautiful.,
Under a manneeobservable for i s seriouiness
and a nun-like serenity, Were concealed an im
passioned nature, and a heart of the deepest
capacity for, hiving. She was remarkable
from her earliest childhood for a voice of
thrillingand haunting ,sweetness. ' _
Ellen Duttonwas the brilliant a iipedes of
\
her sister;-a "born beauty," wiles -..preroga
tive of prettiness was to have her irresponsi
ble own way, in all things t and at all times.
An indulgent(father, a weak mother, and, an
i iildlizing sister, had all unconsciously contri
buted to the -ruin e of a nature not at the first re
markable for krength, or generosity.
Where,. in all God's -creatures, is heartless
ness so seemingly unnatural -- is selfishness
BO detestible; as in a beautiful woman! .

coming birth-day of the bride. 'lt was there
fore:,, arranged that Ellen should' retUrn . with
Mr.--, to y M----, to take charge of h sis
ter's ties school for the remainder of.the.ter . '
) The bridal birth-day had came. I n had
been ushered in by a May-Morning of sur
passing lovelinesx—the busy hours had[worn
away, and now it was nigh sunset, and neither
the bridegroom, or. Ellen, the first bridesmaid
had appeared.. Yet; io her neat little cham
ber sat Lucy, nothing doubting, nothing
,fearing. • She was already clad in a simple
white muslin;, and her few bridal adornments
lay or} the table by her side. • Maria Allen
her second bridesmaid, a bright-eyed, affec
tionate-hearted girl, her chosen friend from
childhood, was arranging to a more graceful
fall, the wealth of.light ringlets which swept
her snow y neck. To the anxious inquiries of
,
her companion, res l ing the absent ones,
Lucy ever smiled uiett,)and replied: -
"Oh, something has happened to detain
them awhile---We heard from them the other
day, and all was well. They will be here by=
and-by, never fear.",
Evening came, the guests were all assem,.
bled, and yet. the "bridegroom tarried."-=
There were whisperings, surmises and won
derings, and a shadow of 'anxiety occasionally
:passed over the fair face of the bride-elect.—
At last, a carriage drove rather slowly to the
dpor. "They aro come!" cried many voices,
and the next moment the belated bridegroom
and Ellen entered. In reply to the hurried
and confused inquiries,of all-around him, Mr.
W— 'muttered something about "unavoid
'able delay,". and 'stepping' to the sideboard,
tossed off a glass of wine, another, and an
other. The ompany•stoed silent with arnaz
!nett. Finally a rough, old farmer exclaimed
"Better late than never, young 'ttan—so lead
out the bride."
Mr— strode hastily across the room,
placed himself,by Ellen, and took her hand
in his! Then, without daring to meet the
eye of any about him, he said:
"I wisli \ to nmke an explanation—l am un
der the . painful necessity—that is, I have the
pleasure to announce that 1 arm already mar
ried. The lady whom I hold by the hand is
•
y wifer .
Then, turning in an apologeticat manner t°
Mr. and Mri. Dutton, he added, "I found that
I had never loved, until I knew your second
daughter!"
And Lucy? She'heard all with strange
!calmness, then walked steadily forward and
confronted her betrayers! Terrible as pale'
Nemesis herself, sh&stood before them, and'
her look pierced like a keen, cold blade into
their false hearts. As thougit: i to assure her.:
'self of the dread.realjtv of the yisinn. she laid
her hand on Ellen's shoulder, and lot it glidd
down her arm=;:tit she touched not
As those cold fingers met hers, the unhappy
wife first gazed Ifull into her ester's facet
and as she markdd the 'ghastly,palkir of her
cheek, the dilated .nostril—the quivering
. lip
and the intensely mournful eyes, she',covered
her own face'with her hands, nod burst into
tears, while the Young husband awed byt.fie
terrible tilence of her hehad wionged; gasped
for breath, and' staggered back against the
wall. Then Lucy, clasping her bands on
forehead, first gave voice to her anguish .and
despair in one fearful! cry,. which could : but
ring forever _ through the soula i ofthat guilty
pair, and fell in a deathlike swoon at their:
feet.
After the insensible girl ha/1 been removed
to her chaMber, a stormy scene ensued in the
room beneath. The parents and guests were
alike enraged against W—; but the tears
and prayers' of his young wife, the petted
beauty and spoiled child, at last so ftened
somewhat the anger of the - parents,
_and an
opportunity for an explanation! was accorded
to the offenders: !
A sorry_explanation it proved. 'Re gen
tleman affirmed that the first sight of Ellen's
lovely fice had weakened the empire of ;her
plitiner sister over his affections. Frequeht
interviews had completed the conqueit of t his
loyalty; but he had been held check by
honer, and never told his love, until when on
'his way to espouse another, in an unguarded
moment he had revealed it; and the !avowal
had called forth an answering -acknhwledg
,
meat from Ellett.
They had thought it best, in order "to save
pain to Lucy," and 'prevent opposition ;from
her—and to secure their own happiness, to
be married heforetheii arrival at
Lucy remained insensible for some hours.
When she ;revived and 6,1 apparently re
gained her consciousness, she still maintained ,
her strange silence. This continued for many,
weeks, and when it partially : passed away;
her friends' saw with inexpressible grief that
her reason had 'fled—she was hopelessly in
sane! "But her madness was of a mild and
harmless nature. She was gentle and Peace
able as ever, but sighed frequently, andrseeen
ea burdened with some great sorrow which
she could not herself comprehend.: She had
one peculiarity; which all who knew 'her in
after years, mulct recollect ;— this Was a wild
fear and careful avoidance of men.l She'also
