Eh blco, you will assume that character for once, and for a liurpose, will .you not? So now we are en rapport,: we must ,go back a dozen years or so. into the past. We are ap proaching a country village—we at the pret tiest cottage it contains—we enter the bloom ing garden—we hear a low murmur of voids in that summer-honse—we draw near, and nearer through the clustering vines. "Ho, what a superb girl! rather youngish but-a divinity, by Jove!"

But they a‘-e reading, and from one book; what can it be? for the young man looks sad, and the girl's dark eyes are glistening with tears. Let us catch a glimpse of the title—" Paul and Virginia!" " The town of It-, in the interior of Massachusetts; has one of the sweetest...bar sonages in the world. Ido notbelieve it can be surpassed by anything short of some of those lovely English rectories, about which our travtlerii go into exstacies It is nested in foliage and flowers, and hung-about with a perfect drapery of vines. At the same time we have talin for the commencement of our sketch, it was occupied by d family of rare taste and refinement, consisting of the Rev', Charles Grey, a man of great learning and devoted piety; his wife, ati excellent and lovely woman, and her niece, a beautiful girl of sxteen, but for whom the cottage home wo i have been Comparatively desolate, for the Greys were childless. Madeline Temple was the sole and orphan daughter of the only brother of Mrs. Grey, and was an heiress. Mrs. Grey, who had re ceived a highly'finished education in her. na tive city, Boston, was herself Madeline's teacher in all feminine accomplishments, while her husband attended to the "classics." I have said that Madeline was beautiful; but her beauty was of a peculiar type.. It was not n'aractive—it was too proud and spirited for 4,at except to the few who loved her and whom she loved. Iler presence, even at that ' early period, was imposing; tall, fair and se rene, she walked, rode, danced and conversed with the quietest dignity and most exquisite grace—a child in years, but an elegant wo man is her ways': One powerful and pre . demintNing trait ruled and moulded her entire character—and this was pride, lofty, unYield: ing, uncomprotriising pride. And yet was Madeline Temple in heart most womanly— true and rearm in her affections, even to: pas sionateness, yet carefully concealing all un der-a-manner cold,- and at times forbidding. - But when she smiled—ah, when she smiled, everything princess-like and chilling, every thing which kept one from loving her, 9nish ed in an instant, and Madeline was bewitch ing. • There was one who, though not a member of the minister's family, had .been from his childhood a constant visitor. This was Ed= ward Lawrence; the, eldest son_ of a small far mer, living just out of the village. Mr. Grey, with whom Edward was a great favorite, had had the solo charge of his education, having undertaken to make tip for the young man's, want of a collegiate course and after Madelines arrival, the two pupils had pursued their stud ies together. Lawren ce 4 Was handsome, strikingly so, but otherwise he was only dis tinguished. for a modesty anddelicato sensi tiveness almost feminine.- At the time whon we introduced him to our readers, he had reached his twentieth year, and yet went ,his way, utterly and strangely unconscious that he was one to be gazed after, envied, and loved adolingly. But there was one who felt that there was a double fascination in:bis unconsciousness— and this was Madeline Temple. Ere, she her self in her proud unimpressiveness, guessed such a thing, her !whist was irrecoverably his. Slowly, but warmly hind rosily, stole the Morn rise of love up the tWillght sky of a lift. be fore all cold 'and colchrless. And Edward—from the first year spent in bladfline's society, he had loved with more of intense passionateness thitn, she was capable of, and with the deepest and tenderest devo tion. But years passed by, and he sought no return. Madeline was rich, and he, though not altogether portionless, was no match for her on the'score of wealth; and a morbid feat \ "THE' WORLD S AT URM of the cha i his natural lips. ' Da ed, and for his po% never spot: cold hand heart. . At length, when Madeline was just eigh teen, her relatives _in Boston, a family of wealth and high standing; became desirous of having her with them, in order to introduce her to fashionable society. Madeline was in love, but ladeline was a woman, and the brilliant lie thus opening before her, had its fas'cinations: she was also very much inclin ed to test in that way the strength of the pas sion which had been engrossing her heart and thoughts t so long a period. The las night of Madeline's stay had ar rived and dward was at the piirsonage -to take leave: It was a summer's evening, and when he rOse to depart, Madeline, 'Allis lib quest, strolled with him toward the gate, as she had often done. rWhen they reached the termination of the walk, she paused and held out her band as usual. -She was very pale with her proud head thrown back, gal composure, - she said fare Well whose love she prized in her in above all the triumphs and gaities hionablei . world. 'Lawrence bent liandpressed it fervently to his lured a “God bless your_and was igdecdoAn and with ri to the man most heart of the fas i over that 1 lips--mur gone Modell n she wept though sh sorrowful, I Temple slept but little that night; It almost day-break, prOnd creature was; wept as bitterly nanny meek dear little maiden could have wept at parting iwith the firs love of her heart. The year that followed her return to Bos ton, was indeed a brilliant one . for Madeline Temple. With accomplishments,beauty of 1 a rare order and a fortune, it was a little woo derl that immediately on her debut, she had be come the rage. The history of some of the triumphs of her belle-hood even reached her old friend 'in their quiet, rural retreat, and greatly were the 'chastened hearts of the good clergymar rind his' wife troubled because of the,temptatiens which must beset the pat li- Wily of the inexperienced girl. But if they feared lest Madeline should sufTer• from the unworthy and Mercenary, through her alien tions they, little knew her: ,One only love, hidden an striven against, 'yet living 'and un conquered was as an angel guarding'the por tals of her, heart, and she was safe: During I the first summer of Madeline's ab ,ccnce, Eirl4ralici lArat"mrerre , e for.trhi., fatfActic cool found himself regarded as the head of a fam ily you6or brothers and sisters. - What with sea& for the dead and care for the liv ing,,he found no time to indulge his love with the passionate fervor and wild abandonment of ro.nantic lovers in general; but he was nev ertheless t i nily constant to her whose lightest word with once sound the lowest depths of -his soul, and whose smile had been the sun shine of his life. She was not always in his thoughts,:but she ever glided to his side when Sweet evening was bestowing her Fort (levee Upon the earth, and shutting up the flowers With he moat tingere, fur the sleeping hours." And whoa the night stole on— her eye, looked on t him with the stars—"her face was bit . his sleep." Madeline had been ,gehe a twelvemonth from when mercantile husinesr., in which.he was engaged, called Lawrence to Boston. the there became known to a dis- taut relative and former friend of his father's, a wealthy merckant ti%d imp rter. This gentleman took a lively interest • 'n the hand some'and'enterprising young man, and with his wife nd daughters, Rpeedily introduded him to 'the most aristocratie, circles of the "Athens,Of America," and there he again met Madeline ] —met her as the triumphant belle, followed, I .flattered and. adored. "Ali, then was the spell broken—then did the dreatr vanish!" anticipates my reader.— But no; after all tliat is said, few men- have any decided objedtion to seeing the woman they lovd the fashion;—it is an agreeable voucher fur their individual taste, and as for Lawrence, he found himself more irreclaima bly in lov than ever. Yet still his intense pride, his r shrinking fear of the charge of un- , worthy and sordid motives, kept him from an open declaration of his holiest sentiments.—, Madeliitel, who saw with keen but carefully concealed pleasure his fervent growing at tachmen4 was piqued at its long delayed avowal, fo_she did not know her lover suffi ciently to understand his pride snd high sense of honor. But an unhooked for event occur red to liaSten 'matters to a crisis. The mer chant friend of whom we have spoken, desired to send ont au agent with one of. his vessels to soma foreign port,. and offered the situation which was a very lucrativeone, to Lawrencle. The poor young Man wasin an embarrassing position. For the sake of his family, who stood in need of 'his assistance, he knew that 1 lia ought to go, but if he vent he must be absent two years; and his Theo ttah, there was the ruby i l Ile at length . concluded to seek Madeline, and let her decide for him, resolV ing if lie went, to - go only as a rejected- c. matt It was n lovely June evening, when -Ed ward Lawrence slowly and thoughtfully turned his footsteps toward the splendid man sion which wasladeline's elty home.
