One can hardly wonder that her mind, trained under these influences, took an artificial bias; and, indeed, what young beauty, , spoiled by education, fortune, and the close friend ship of romantic school girls, would have a different ambition on her first peep nl the world from that of supremacy over the lords of creation? And so Rose Montrose flirted, and laughed, and played the unmerciful despot. But ), who knew her well, was perfectly uwnre that nil this wus foreign to her char* nntcr. I believed, in fad, that her arbitrary com . mands arose from a nervous timidity, striving •to conceal itself ip the roll she would act, just as cow. ards sometimes, ineodenvorlng to .assume coolness, rnab desperately into Ihowildcsl dangers.. Ip no other way could I account for her caprltjo of a nfamuqt, and fueling for the next hour. Her lovers were us perplexed as they wore disheartened. Her playful peltishness would occasionally subside, and then break forth in a torrent nf spiraling wit nt the first semblance of sentiment feeling. Tim troth wn«, that she knew the sacred (illness of heart's emotion, and shrank from exposing it In one who might see, hot could not understand. As wav said to me, byn young friend—of whom hereafter; —whose occasional puns betrayed his sole ungcnllemaiiiy propensity, her art lessncss was so plain that none but no ignorant cock ney could call it hcarllessness, and he confessed, with a blush,’ that he was once such n one. Their walk had been extended to the full second mile before either of the pair awakened.from the absorbing conversation. Rose Montrose was leaning on the arm of u young guntlmnan, whoso dreamy, orllst lilco eye hid been passionately seeking hers, for the lust half hour, in vain He had been pouring into her ear glowing descriptions,nf the olden days of, chivalry, and, In depicting the thoughts of others,' had Artfully, yol without premeditation, drawn forth his own. . It was the skill which love bestows upon even the artless. She hud listened in silence, though nil tumultuous within until their path censed before the verge of a,cliff, and she awakened from herself to the artificial again. It was to stop the nervous .boatjng of her heart, and interrupt the burning words she jfat longed to hear, that she stepped forward to the very edge, and rattled on hurriedly. u Mr. Sumner, lt very fine; the scenery I moan, ns well os your eloquence. .But,certainly (huso Knights wore as chivalrous as (hoy wore foolish, to venture so much for such a simple, silty thing ns n Indy's smile.

But U was ton late. " Wore such an one hero he would rejoice in.the opportunity to earn a boon tint she would not rofliso. Ho would place the wreath In her hand, and shu would place her hand on his.” . His words were impetuous, half inquiring, and the warm blood mounted to her checks. She felt her self-possession vanishing, yol spake eagerly the first words of her heart. 11 And.she would keep the (lowers forever 1 * Then she shuddered, and calmly added, “Come, ,lot us leave llils silly romance, and return/* They walked buck in silonoo. Late In the evening Sumner loft (ho house of Mr. Wavers, after on unnilisfyctory visit.' lie saw that much other coquetry Was affected, but there was still inough to cause' him serious uneasiness. Several lijncs had lie endeavored to draw from her an answer to his ardent and undisguised avowals of love, ynl hitherto she had avoided the subject with thn full tact of woman, as ho bitterly called- her girlish, blush ing timidity. But she had now almost challenged him lathe proof of his devotions, and. ho vovyed to appear before her an the morrow claim for an audience which alio could not avoid. There,«fos,s scorn, too, ns ho fancied. In her tone, when she prats. 4d the careful wisdom of modern lovers. Ho was determined to obtain the flqwors that very , night, when nono wore abroad to witness and ridicule his Attempt, k The chivalrous plan required somo other unroman, bo moans, in tho shape of on iron bar and d coll of rope. Those ho procured from Ills sleepy landlord, and, after a .few minutes brisk walking, prepared to depcond thoioliff with their help. The bar was firm. Iy ; driven ipUi corlh, and the ropCj'with knots every few feel* fastened; to it securely. . With a strong grasp, he then commenced his da> I «cei)t. • ’ ' 1 About.half way down he stopped to rest for a mo* 1 menl npon a crag that boldly pushed itself out from I the almost perpendicular side of the precipice. De scending still farther, he found that the rope, resting upon the edge of this rock, suspended him,at some , dozen feet out frum the main wall j but when ha had swnngjusl opposite the flowers, a few violent springs enabled him to gain a firm fool-hold,' The prize was now in his grasp, but.in the eagerness of success, he. loosened jiis hold of the rope,and it swung fur out of his reach.. However, there was nothing peculiarly dangerous in Ins position. Like the famous sam i phire-gatherer, In a similar predicament,'ho knew that a bold leap for. the rope might savo’him, and, at the worst, tho deep flood was rolling only fifteen or twenty feet below. Carefully securing the flowers in his bosom, he watched the oscilation of the rope,and at tho critical moment sprang nimbly out into the air. His agile limbs, practiced in boyhood among his native Highland mountains and talf sea cliffs,'did not fujl him now. But his full weight,cast suddenly upon the rope,.(ore it ot once from the bar, and he dropped at once into the-bold sea. '. The first natural Impulse was to swim to the nearest point the second to burst into a hearty, though sdtnewhat silly laugh at this uncomfortable termination bf his romance. * $ 50 Oncp on shore, ho hurried Jo his quartets in the vijlngo inn. Like n true lover, ho first dried the flowers, and. arranged them into a graceful wreath, and then, U]gre like a man of sense, exchanged his dripping clothes for a warm bed. But his sense came too far behind folly, and in the morning after his chilly immersion ho awoke in a high fever,. Rose Montrose was sitting alone, with blushing checks, ond a soft smile beaming from hcnhalf closed' eyes. nothing around this silent' expression of pleasure} the inui<sftsPQs only receiving delight from the thickening eounUon that rose up from her heart, tremulous in Brail love. A sweet, uncertain tumult of thoughts sitrrouridcd-with enchantment the single idea that love really reigned within, and swayed the fairy sceptre over her who had hitherto prided herself npnn her queenly com* mnnd upon other hearts. At that moment she did nril think of Ms feelings, for doubt on thnt suhjccl had nevqfr arisen; but she trembled at Hid thought of her own*.deep passion; and then the delicious color that consciousness had called forth fled from' her checks, arid she crisped her hands suddenly at the Idea of her mocking challenge Iho.prcvious day. She ‘cured that Sumner h|\H not seen Ihrough her co. quctiish hypocrisy of die moment—that which she then feared he might perceive; that, which was as sqm'bd to hide her* heart. Suddenly his step was heard, and, oh! the mysterious working of woman’s heart! Ashamed to be detected while, her face was Xct transparent of feeling, timid Mid.fluUcring, she rirtsed her eyes desperately, with confused conscious ness that she was about to finish her role oPlho co. qucltc. In her blindness she fancied that otherwise her heart would be unavoidably revealed, mid she shrank from an cxposurc’of its depths—mopl of all lo him. She. was not yd sufficiently- accomplished In her game, ana always bilnglcd sadly; nevermore than now. * >■ Simincronlorcil the roorfi With (lushed dice, where. ; in -'fever plainly horned, hut vho fancied it to lie no J .I'we. the iv »- fover’a n a torn I tr(;pidaHni,;--tJadiili: j niit to.rd, it wouUniavcmiidu her more coal, collect ;cd and uufrpnririg-in her cnqncllry, but ns it. was .lie, (romh|ed with him and f«My shared ip ilia pappofltd agitation.

Will not this glove answer your pur pose ? Why you seem airaid of it! It is only a glove that I am going to give you."

Ono year from this time found Leonard Sumner still his Italian studio, and happy only when the glowing subjects ofhls art reminded him of a reality more perfect and beautiful than oven tho delicately, oronted shadow (raced by his pencil. From tho first he roll nut resentment at the seeming hoartlessness (hat drove him from his native land, His noble heart, crpy swelled with astonishment that such un» worthiness could, and sorrow that it did exist in a lorm so captivating, and a mind which ho know to be so richly endowed.

Still there was a wound, and without an angry hautiness of fooling, ho experienced a sad. denod mortification that ho had been rejected, and in such a manner. Perhaps he thought less of It than at first, but (Ills was natural and in healing. Time hud also softened. His whole energies wore turned to (lie cultivation of his favorite art, and already his studio was visited by tho munificent patrons of ge nius. . Ono day Mr. Ncvors unexpectedly entered (he room. Tho young artist greeted his old friend with warmth, before ho thought of. tho awakwardnoss of their meeting, but Ills inquiries for tho health of,Miss Montrose, weru as cool and business litto os any fashionable gentleman could have desired.

He seemed about seventeen, certainly not less by the long deli cate moustache that dropped daintly from the corners of a finely cut month.

A shott.conversation confirmed him in. this belief, and after the departure of Mr. Ncvcrs, hb pro deeded to the first instructions with a hearty pleasure (hat astonished himself, and Indeed seemed to confuse the boy. All Sumner's advances were received with a species of cool gratitude, that chilled the . artist’s fervor and really perplexed him; though it seemed to please inwardly the careless youHg Spaniard. But his hand was quick and skillful; so,lhat‘after aban "dqning this sudden interest in- ihp* graceless buy, Sumner derived real pleasure as ao artist in watch ing the magic developemcnts of gCnius hitherto un skilled only in.the finer rules wMchftgcs 1 have drawn from the spirit of the great masters. r ' They hud been together in this singular compan ionship but a day or two, when a Sicilian noble-man entered the studio of (he foreign artist, whoso pencil had attracted so much attention throughout Romo. His desire was to obtain a painting of a free, glowing, and artless Swiss shepherdess, a “ mountain nymph —sweet*Liberty.l* He withdrew with munificent offers of patronage, leaving Sumner already , rapt in th^bright creation of his fancy, and impatient to be alone. Day after day he wrought , with passionate skill upon the canvass, wholly absorbed in his labor, and scarcely exchanging a look .with the boy, who was studying with equal ardor in the opposite corner ofljie roqm. Thus were they busied. Sumner upon his pointing, the young Spaniard in mentally dcltne- the other’s, features in his earnest eyes, when the Sicilian again appeared. ' Vlt is unfinished!” exclaimed Sumner. * -Unfinished.!” said the noble, hurrying to the easel, with an exclamation of delight, *• then do not finish it. Touch It not with your brush again; it is matchless, Another of such unfinished paintings ond this shall be doubled." . He placed « ln the artist's hands. Spinner qulellyreturned it, “I caUrtol pafT Wim,Ws.'eKhpr incomplete, or at any otlienlmc.*' —.... . part with it?", r .* ’■’••’’lmpossible,”? V They exchanged low' bows* and the Sicilian walk cd out in'dignified resentment-* Sumner gazed one moment on the canvass with a burning, eye, then turning about he saw his pupil, and hurridly seizing him by the wrisl, drew him forward full before the ease). “Thercl-is there not something incomplete!" • For the first time the hoy now saw the painting on which Sumner had lavished more than an ortist’s dqvollon—tho faithful portrait of Rose Montrose. A crimson dye strangely blushed through Ms -dork complexion, as ho gazed gporj this living proof, that Sumner's hear! had breathed upon his imagination and mingled (ho enchantment of memory with the creations of his soul. But‘the master saw none of this, for his eyes were again fastened upon that sweet and generous face. Anjl then the pupil, witlfa pow erful effort that sent (he blood.from his cheeks and lips, spoke very calmly, though his tones trembled somewhat in the earnestness of his words, "Aye!” the painting Is p.crfect, Itself, there is someting incomplete In the expression of that face. I see thort) frankness and and a generous nature— perhaps a soul, but the emotions which spring from! iho very-heart have not risen to beam from that coun- j tenance. . The model from which that caught! may possess inner nobility, ond I oftruc affection, but that nobility has hitherto been stifled, and (hose depths remained as sealed fountains. And (hero must have boon causes, too, which have restrained his natural-.devehipement— fuifilly educa ted, perhaps, or inexperience, for that lady seems young, too young, it may bo, to know thot ajio carries a falsehood on her face; thot years and epochs have not yet shown her how different she really is from Ihn artificial character she boars., Vos, tho'porlroit If incomplete. Emotions, Iho (e&chlngs oftho heart, find the heart itself arc not there. "Yet she Is hot, or will nut always bo thus, unless her existence is mea ningless, and she no true woman. Dulieve me, there are lines and features In that face, which, if rightly traced, betoken a belter future. In this manner it is Incomplete." Sumner guzed upon Ibis noble boy with amazement, for ns ho poured forth these rapid words, his eyes burned with a strange brilliance, and the whole frame seemed shaken with a powerful emotion which he was 100 proud to conceal.. A now but undefined thought leaped into life within the artist's mind, and ho longed for solitude lo analyze it. Ho spoke in general terms,'quite different from his impassioned manner but a moment before. * "It is true, and grievous wrong may have been done through ignorance. But that was not ray mea mug. This is, Indeed, h portrait of a real model, and I may say, correct in general but still there is some thing in the original—l know not what—which Is not hero. Thavo tasked my memory in Vain; that otherwise fafthfiil representation lacks some hidden property of the original. Perhaps longer thought will enable me to reach It." Ho seized his hat and departed, leaving his pupil In the same attitude, but now with a blush Upon his ebooks, ond softly murmuring to himself. “He su.ipocta but docs not know. ,Ah ! how* rash and hasty thoso forward words that come before a thought of prudence. Will ho now think the lost of mo 7 1 know not—it matters not, for all is done.— Something incomplete! I could have told him—l will toHhlm"now, before I go, never, to enter this studio again. First away with this disguise." A little water removed tlio dark Moorish hue from that arch and templing face; a sly twitch and tho drooping moustache felfftom the corners of her month now drown up into a merry laugh, and In fbll beauty Rose Montrose stood before hor less lovely imago,— Those fonder fingers, seized (ho brush and.skilffiilly (raced a fairy wreath of wild flowers, suoh as tho ar (lst drew, all faded and dead from her bosom. One hand of the portrait clasped lightly a single glove, and the other seemed passionately buried In her flow, ers.
