Suppose yon tell it to me on my birthday: it will be doubly plea sant to sit here and listen to you. 1 The calm, happy expression of Aunt Ruth’s face, which ! had never before seen disturbed, suddenly changed to one o*f intense sorrow* or rathef, a quick thrill of pain seemed to follow, my few words. This, however, was only mo mentary ; in another minute the placid’tcndcr ncss so natural to her face resumed its. sway, aud I discovered no other sign of emotion aa she answered, ‘You shall have jjour .wish my Joyb:*and and then addcHi ih a,fu\v voicc :V^tlaVighltf ,Rt ’she’sbould hear the promised history)'bud that T should tell H.’ Tire latter part of her speech the venerable lady rather umnnnrcd-to her self than addressed to me; then drawing her figure to its utmost height, and folding) hpr, tlun white hands upon her lap, she' corotnohfcbd : her narrative—which, however,! prefer putjihg into my own language, believing Aunt UiuVS; nalural modesty prevented her from doing tico to the heroine of the story. , 'Walter is late this evening, Mildred, and yet I am almost certain that I saw him pass on the river an hour ago. I may be mistaken, but I wish yon would run down to the old summer house, and sec if the boat is moored. We ought to have got through a good portion of business to-uight. The speaker a due old man of some seventy winters, turned as he spoke towards a deep window, where a young and strikingly hand some woman sal resting her cheek upon her band, and gazing with a look of abstraction up on the twilight shadows as they deepened over the broad river, (lowing at tbfc bottom of a long terrace-walk in front of the house. Her father’s voice suddenly recalled her dreamy thoughts, and raising hastily, she said; ‘Yes, dear father, I shall enjoy a stroll to night; ant if the truant has not yot arrived, X can watch for him a little longer from the sum mer house. We do not know what may ‘ have Walker,' she added. teudeMy raising tho old man’s hand to her Ups; be knows your love of punctuality, and I am certain he would pot wilfully keep you iu Suspense.’ Mildred Vernon was the only child of a wid owded parent. A beauty and an heiress, she was ns might be supposed, not without a good ly string of admirers ; of these per father’s choice and her own affection lell upon ft rela tive of her own, whom her father had brought up to his own culling—that of an East India merchant. Accustomed from boyhood to re gard her cousin with affectionate admiration. Walter Vernon deemed it an easy task, at Mr. Vernon’s affectionate suggestion, to yield up a free heart to her keeping ; and he agreed grate fully to the proposals made In him by Ids uncle, which ended iu ins being at tweiUv ouo the j promised husband of the beautiful Mildred, and ' tho expectant heir to her father’s immense for- i time. To Mildred, however, whoso ignorance of Air. Vernon’s previous mffuenco with her cousfn led her to believe that tho declaration of his was aa earnest and independent of exlronc ouscircumstances as her own affection, their en gagement was very different, And for sometime the happiness of her young life seemed without a clout). Situated in o remote comer of. the grounds which surrounded Mr. Vernon's mansion, was a low thatched cotlagu. covered with monthly roses and honeysuckle up to lowly caves, and surrounded by a galaxy of blossoms. . This snug and roomy dwelling hud for years been ■||ic abode of Hogcr Lee. Mr. Vmioirs gardner. Hero, too, his only child Alice was born ; and here, some years after, the strong man and his young daughter wept together, over the lifeless form of a beloved wife and mother, and the sympathy which had always, existed between Mr. Vernon and his faithful servant seemed more (Irmly cemented by tho melancholy sa mcnca of their relative The little Alice, from her motherless childhood, Imd'hecn an object of interest to tho worthy merchant’. Born In tho autumn of the game year which mndo him a widowed father, M,r.

Half an hour before tho conversation between , Vernon and his - daughter, which wo have already related, Alice Leo might have been seen gazing as anxlouslyoii tho broad river ns the young Was herself.

Like some fair statue on whose lineaments the intensity of hopeless despair was traced by a master chisel, \ stood Mildred Vernon. Ucr large dark eyes were fixed upon the young pair. before her with an expression of agony which sccmCd to over power their sorrow in sympathy with hers.— The quick perception of Alice seemed at once to understand the mystery, and gliding from Ithe seat where she had crunched in her sudden j grief, she took the passive hand which hung by i Mildred's side ami raising it to her lips,exclaim-! cd uidl v : 'Forgive him, dearest lady ; only Cor- give Walter—ho will love you. 0 1 he does Jove you already, ns you deserve.

In a calm voice, she bade \Valtcr carry the fainting Alice to an adjoining suuuner-housc, .where .she watched wjth intense jwjjpi *rcif yitfwntr to Jicr side, sHc placed Alice loco’s hand in his, andwithout tnidingheraelf to look into-his face, said slowly; ‘You must toll Alice, that you arc not going to marry your cousin ; that you mnif love her without sin ; and that to :Tnort'owl will tell her so myself.

There, now See this poor girl to her home.’ \ Passing rapidly on to the house, Mildred Ver non sought m the solitude of her own chamber, upon her bended knees, that consolation which her crushed heart »6 sorely needed; ami she arose at length, strengthened and confirmed in the generous self-sacrifice her noble impulsive nature had at once suggested. The .cup, in deed, contained a biller draught; but she re solved to drain it to the very dregs believing that in the one it would prove a wholesome medicine, which in lime might bring back some degree of’peace to her troubled spirit. b • • « * • *• *•> ■Your engagement with M'nltcr at ! an‘ end?
