Charles Berkeley and his mother are
sitting side by Side in a luxuriOusly furn
ished apartment, situated in. the eastern
wing of the great house, at Oakdale Grange.
The Grange had been the:lnheritance of the
youngest scion of the Berkeley's for two
centuries,• nnd when Sir Richard took
possession of Berkeley .11:114. ( immediately
after his fathers death,) Henry, his brother,
removed to the Grange, where he lived n
retired lire, seldom, venturing abroad, or
mingling in society. •
4. hatred existed bet Ween the two broth
ers, originating, it was generally believed,
from A dispute which arose as to which of
them was to have the family portraits.
Sir Richard claimed .them by right . of
seniority. Henry claimed them because
the old man had given them to him before
he died. Au angry discussion are's() be
tween them, and as Sir Richard would not:
yield his claim, the ties of friendship and,
brotherly love were severed, and they
parted, never meeting again save as
strangers. * a * s a *
Tim Grange was a beautiful place. The
land. was in
,a high state of cuttivaLion-; the
crops were annually large. There was a

The apartment in which Cluirles Berkeley
and his mother are sitting, when for the
first time she is introduced to the render, is
Henry Berkeley's room of business.
A very fine room, highly celled and rich
ly furnished. The book-cases are richly
carved and gilded-the tables are all inlaid,
and the chairs covered with crimson velvet.
Costly paintings adorn the walls; it . aitaings
from the best masters. The windows aro
Shaded. by superb hangings that mellow the
light, as it falls on the carpet of rarest tex
ture and softness, and ,everything bespeaks
an.air of comfort, amounting to luxurious
ease and indolence.
Charles Berkeley's mother had been an
invalid for many years; and although the
best physicians in London nad attended
her, not one of them had ever been fortun
ate enough to discover the nature of her
disease. It baffled medical skill. Some
times for a week she would be lively and
cheerful, managing her hettscheld affairs
unaided, then suddenly she would fall
fainting on the floor, helpless and senseless.
In this state the servants,would bear her to
her chamber, and there she often remained
for days at a time, unconscious of what was
passing around her, although she ate vora
ciously whenever food was placed before
her. The Materta Mediae had been ex
hausted, but still Lady Berkeley was not
benefited by' any of the drugs which she
had taken, and at last she dismissed tier
physician, and began unadvisedly to eat
opium. '" " '
Lally 'Berkeley is reclining in her rock
ing chair, propped up with pillows. She is
'watching the changes that Mt over her
son's features as he sits there reading a
letter. At lengUi lie crushes the letter in
his hand, and rising,- paces' 3.<3 and fro,
muttering to himself as though unmindful
of her presence.
"1-1!ho is the letter front, my- son ?" she
atiast Ventures tt? inquire.
"-from my lawyer, Cheatem" -
" - You have received unpleasant news,
my son ;,,for you are disappointed and
irritated; and you wear such a dolorons
visage." ,
"ram Cheaten writes that he has been
unsuccessful in his search, and although
his spies have been vigilant day end night
for months,- they have failed M find this
accursed gipsY en. whose capture so much
depends.:, Would to heaven I had put hint
in irons before I left Oakdale Grange, then
be' would. 'not Have escaped from my
clutchdsl Strange that ho should manage
to slip through your fingers the very mo
ment nay back was turned. It is just ono.
year since he escaped, and I was in London
at that time, trying to lure, May into the
snarewe.had set for her." .
"You lva:s — Suecessful - fir that at least,
Charles;. and df, you had, been a little more
ardent in your wooing, the girl would ere
now have been your bride. I have done all
that I could to aid you. .lay has been
living with us a year,• and you have not
succeeded in winning her' favor or her
affedtion during that time. "Jeer you are
but a las,•gard in love, as welt as in war."
This speech stung him, and for a moment
the lint blood crimsoned his face and brow,
then he was pale again:

these twins were introduced to the notice

The reason for theif'iletermiatition' at this

There is a very lagre plant of the Pampas
