Fannie, was not what the beutt monde
would have called beautiful, nor would
she have ever been selected by the writer
of a highly wrought fiction as the heroine
of' a remance.yet, to those who knew her
best, she was ever lovely, and beyond
this, we need not care. Still she was
not homely—her brow was fair, open
and finely arched, and on it rested ring
lets of soft golden hair. . Her eye was
blue and expressive of deep tenderness
and affection, and her form was light
and graceful. Her mental graces, how
ever, outshone her physical. Po.,sessing
strength rather than brilliancy of intcl
lect, she was never led astray by the
flitting phantoms that catch the giddy
and the gay. The brightest gent in her
character was her unaffected piety. She
had been early taught by her mother to
put her trust in the Savior, and was a
devoted believer in [his sacred doctrines.
Fannie had a constant companion, Mary
,Melville--one of the prettiest girls in the
village. She was a sweet and innocent
child of nature—always dressed iu black,
and was greatly beloved by her friend
for the sincerity and simplicity ot her
character. Mary's heart, young as it

1 was, had felt much of sorrow. It had
been her lot to suffer from disease, but
neither sickness nor sorrow bud chilled
the genial gush of her spirits, and
though her feelings were soft and sub
dued, they were warm and affectionate.
The sables in which she was clad told a
tale of death's doings. and the whole vil
lage knew the bitter,bleeding agony that
had come upon, crushing her heart,when
her brother died in the land of strangers.
Fannie and Mary were congenial
spirits,
"Ay() souls nith but a single thought,
•
Tiro hearts that heat as one,"
Often joined by Pantile's brother, they
would take a walk, or sit in Mary's neat
little parrlor and talk of their hopes iu the
dim and shadowy future. Henry was
sometimes inclined to melancholy, and
though talented, despaired of success in
profession. Then it was that he was
taught to feel how deep is a sister's de
votion and woutan's friendship. They
would bid him be of hope—to chase
away his gloomy and imaginative appre
hensions, to condone in virtue's ways,
that Heaven would bless him, and that
the wise and good would ever be his
friends. Then,

:.he hour that Eve sinned, yet we still
thank God that he gr.ve us Eve.
But to our tale. Our story is short,
and soon told—'tis the fate of the gentle
Fannie, the widow's daughter, the sister
of Henry, the bosom friend of the dark
eyed Mary Melville. 'Tis a tale of the
hapless maiden whose only sin, if sin it
be, was that site loved too fondly, and
loved one who was unworthy of her love.
Henry had finished his studies, and in a
hope of better success had gone to the
far West, that widely extendvd field for
human talent and industry, not however,

When he left he was her sworn Jover,and
she his affianced bride, and never did
wourm bestow the we iltit of her affection
on one more deserving than Henry Hol
brook. He departeJ flout his mother's
roof with her blessing sweetly falling on
his ear, awl with his sister's fond kiss
warm upon his cheek. His parting with
,Mary was full of regret, but he left her
as a man determined to win fame and fur
time, and then to return and lay his all
at her feet. With the prayers of such a
mother. such a sister, such a betrothed,
daily and nightly oll'ered up fur his weal,
who could fureet his high position, and
sin? Henry did not. After he had
been absent about six months a young
minister from the South, visited the vil
lage and by invitation preached a sermon
in the village church, claiming to be a
member of that denomination, Inivinz
brought letters to the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Allen. He was a man of fine person,
indsome features,a deep theologian, for
one of his years, with an eloquence that
won its way to every heart, and withal,
tso blind, so seemingly sincerely pious,
that it appeared like a crime to refuse to
love him. lie protracted his visits—

,larre. and preached again and again with
increased success. ,
Many a rustic maiden felt her heart
flutter when in his presence and scarcely
knew the reason, and many a one had
her slumbers disturbed by visions of the
young preacher, George Linden. There
was a witchery about the man.
The keen eye of envy soon detected
the fact that the gentle Fannie Holbrook
had made a deep impression on his heart,
and what had hitherto beau mere gossip
now become a settled conviction, that
there was a reciprocity- of feelin 2. between
them.
Fannie had never loved before, save
once, if love it could be called, a school
girl freak—a little innocent attachment
to a country couzin. Vet,she was formed
to love. In her soul was a power and
depth offeeling she had not known before;
and, now, since it had been called forth,
its welling ! , ush filled her with the keen-
est joy, and made her irresistibly beauti

Fannie, like a prudent child, told her
mother her secret heart-workin4s . , her
mother growing old, and wishing to see
her daughter happy ere she departed,
approved her choice. She confided her
secret to Mary, who though unwilling to
lose her friend,thought it a proper match.
She wrote to her brother, detailing the
whole affair, and receiving an answer

her union with the eloqizent preacher,
with a promise to come in and be present
at the wedding. George Linden did not

c.on.surnation of his wishes, lle left for

and bore with him her Jove, her hopes,
her prayers, with a promise to return
the following spring to bear back to the
South one of the sweetest flowers of the
North, which promise, as we will see, he
kept. Autumn,with its hazy skies, and
baltny,dreamy atmosphere—Winter,with
its merry parties and fireside comforts
passed rapidly indeed—Spring decked
with flowers and robed iu green, came
again, and with it came George Linden.
