A ROMANCE OF THE OLD AND NEW WORLD

CHAPTER I.
AN INTERRUPTED WEDDING,
It was the first of May, the marriage day
of the Viscount Montressor of Montressor
Castle, Dorsetshire, and Estelle, only
daughter and heiress of Sir Parke Morelle,
Hyde Hall, Devonshire.
A glorious morning ! the cloudless, blue
sky smiled down Upon the green, hills and
dewy dales and deep woods of Devon ; and
the park around the Hall was all alive and
musical, with the joyous songs of birds, and
the merry laughter of young men and mai
dens gathering to celebrate their May-day
festival, and to do honor to the marriage
of their landlord’s daughter.
, The elm-shaded, winding aveuue that
led from the highway to the house, was
arched at each terminus by a mammoth
wreath of flowers, and many were the car
riages that passed under them, on their
way to assist at the wedding ; and these
contained only the bridesmaids, and the
nearest friends and relatives of the family,
whose relationship or position gave them
the right to attend the bride to ehuroh ;
—for a still more numerous party had been
invited to meet her at the altar. The
villagers and tenants, grouped about under
the shade of the great old trees, or wan
dering over the greensward on either side
of the avenue, witched these equipages as
they rolled on, commenting as usual on
such occasions.
“ Oh—dear me ! the weddingers won’t
pass till nearly twelve ! and here we are
to. wait two mortal hours! said a young
girl to the game-keeper.
“ Hush ! my darling look, here comes
his Lordship’s carriage itself, just as sure
as your the prettiest lass in the country.”
It was Lord Montressor’s carriage.
Early that morning a note from his affi
anced bride had been put in his hands
summoning hinn to a private conference
with her at the Hall before they should
proceed to the church. Surprised and
filled with vague uneasiness, his lordship
lost no time in obeying the behest.
Within the most secluded of her suit of
richly furnished apartments at the old Hall,
half buried in the depths of a cushioned
chair, reclined the bride expectant, in bri
dal array.
She was alone, her attendants having,
by her own desire, withdrawn.
Estelle Morelle—or “la belle Estelle,”
“Beautiful Stelle,” “the Midnight Star”
—as, for her resplendent dark beauty, she
was poetically named—was at this time
twenty-five years of age, and more lovely
than a poet-’s or an artist’s ideal. Her
form was of medium height, and very slen
der, though well-rounded, with a graceful
head, over which fell rich .masses of jet
black silken ringlets, shading a face of
pure, pale olive complexion with large
mournful dark eyes, habitually veiled by
the long, drooping lashes, and delicate,
though full, curved lips, ever patiently
dosed as in silent resignation. The pre
vailing expression of her dark, brilliant
countenance was a profound melancholy.
The announcement of Miss Morelle’s
approaching marriage, with the Viscount
Montressor had created a profound sensa
tion in the fashionable and aristocratic cir
cles. A peerless beauty, the only child
and heiress of the oldest, wealthiest and
haughtiest baronet in the West of England,
her heart had been as much the object of
aspiration to the youthful and ardent,“as
her hand and fortune had been the end of
desire to the mercenary and ambitious.
At the early age of seven years, Estelle
had been placed at one of the first-class
female institutions of learning at Paris,
then as now, considered among the very
best or their kind in the ;world, and there
had been left to remain until her sixteenth
year, when the sudden and calamitous
breaking up of the institution, and her own
severe illness, had occasioned her removal.
That illness had been attended with
marked changes in the constitution and
temperament of the young girl.
Estelle, previously the most careless,
light-hearted and capricious of children,
left her chamber of convalescence a sub-'
dued, thoughtful, melancholy woman! The
. laughing lips of girlhood! closed in patient
“ sadness, the sparkling eyes sheathed their
beams under long, shadowy lashes, now
seldom lifted ; the silvery, elastic voice,
sank into deep and thrilling tones ; fhe
free, glad motions were measured and con
trolled.
She never entered another school, but
completed her education: under the best
masters, at home. To dissipate what was
considered’ a transient melancholy, her
parents travelled with her over Europe,
pausing, at each capital and chief town, to
show her all that was interesting and in
structive. But though their daughter re
paid their attentions with the Eweetest
gratitude, and obeyed them with the gen
tlest docility, she showed no interest in the
passing scenes. And though everywhere
her extreme beauty and ; sweetness of dis-
position, not less than her fortune and po
sition, drew around her many friends and
admirers, Estelle 'remained alone in her
isolated thoughts and feelings. Every
most distinguished physician in Europe
had s been consulted upon her case, and
the result of their wisdom was a decision
that this melancholy was not the effect of
ill health, still less of secret sorrow, but
but that it was a constitutional phase that

had summoned to a private interview be
fore they should proceed to the church.—
She had not long to wait. He who quickly
responded to her slightest inclination, im
mediately obeyed her call.
Yet when she heard his firm elastic step
approaching,
“ Now God have mercy on me!” she
prayed, and covered her face with her
hands.
He entered, unannounced, and saying,-
“My beautiful Stella ! I am here, you
perceive, by your commands!”
She dropped her hands, and revealing a
face pale with misery, spoke in a thrilling,
deep, impassioned tone —
“ You are here by my supplication, my
lord ! I have no right to command.”
“We will waive that! What is your
will, my dearest Stella ?”
“ My prayer, my lord—is first, for your
forgiveness.”
“ Forgiveness l —my Stella!”
“ Ay! my dear lord ! you see before
you a penitent and a supplicant, who| may
soon be something far more wretched !”
“ My Stella ! what mean you ?”
“ Come to the window, Lord Montres
sor!” she said, rising and preceding him.
“ Look out,” she continued, putting aside
the rose-colored hangings, and revealing a
view of the park below, alive with its rest
less multitude. “ What are all these peo
ple waiting for, my lord ?”
“ What are they waiting for, my Stella ?
—for that which I also wait, with how
much more impatience!” he answered,
while a deep flush of love and joy, for an
instant, supplanted the anxiety on his face.
“ They wait to see a bride pass, where a
bride may never go !” she said, in a solemn
voice.
“ Stella! great Heaven ! what say
you!” he exclaimed, gazing on her with
profound astonishment.
“ That the bride they expect is unworthy
to stand before God’s holy altar beside
Lord Montressor!”
“ Unworthy, Stella ! You !”
“ Most unworthy, my lord !” she said,
dropping her arms, and dropping her head
in an attitude of the deepest misery. “ I
should have made this confession long ago,
Lord Montressor but I have deceived you
—I have deceived you !”
“In what respect, Stella ? My God !
It cannot be! No, it cannot be ! that
while betrothed to me, you do not love
me !”
“ Not love you ! Oh ! my dear lord /”
she murmured, in a voice of thrilling ten
derness that carried conviction of truth to
his deepest heart.
“What mean you then, dearest one ? if
indeed you return my deep love.”
“ Oh ! I do, I do, Montressor ; whatever
happens, wherever you go, take that as
surance with you ! I love you, my lord !
shall ever love you, even though even after
what I shall have told you, you repulse
and hate me, and go to our friends and
say,-- £ That woman whom I was about to
wed, is but a whited sepulchre, whom I
have proved, and whom I now reject ’ —
and so leave me to the scorn of men, still
I say—ever shall say—l love you, Lord
Montressor! I love you, and the con
sciousness of being unworthy of your love
is the bitterest element in my punishment,”
she said, in a voice of such profound mis
ery, that Lord Montressor could scarcely
continue to believe her agitation unfound
ed or exaggerated.
He dropped upon aseat, and sitting still
and white as a aarved image of stone,
gazed upon her, waiting her further com
munications.

CAPS AND STRAW lIATS.
Our assortment of Caps aud Straw Hats is the largest,
best and most fashionable in the city.
We are also manufacturing the PATENT FLEXIBLE
SILK HAT, which for beauty of finish, cannot be surpassed
The improvement consists of a combination of principle to
render the Silk Hat Band, after a slight wear, as soft and
pleasant to the head as a soft Hat. The “Flexible Band”
combines the softness of the Felt Hat, with the beauty and
dressy appearance of the Silk Hat, and from its yielding
nature, readily the shape of the head, thus
avoiding in a very great measure, the trouble aud incon
venience of conforming and shoeing, as the principle of the
conformator is embodied in the vt^nrovement.
All Hats sold at this establishmefctegre made under our
own supervision, and we warrant what they
are sold for. We respectfully inrite give us

CIHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE.—
) The Illinois Central K. 11. Company is now prepared
to sell about 1,500.000 Acres of CHOICE FARMING
LANDS in Tracts of 4-0 Acres and upwards, on Long
Credits, and at Low Rates of Interest.
These lands were granted by the Government to aid in
the construction of this itoad, nud are among tho richest
and most fertile in the world. They extend from North
East and North West, through the rniddlo of the State, to
the extreme South, and Includn every variety of cllmaU
and productions found between those parallels of latitude.
The Northern portiou is chiefly prairie, interspersed with
fiue groves, and In the middle and Southern sections tim
ber predominates, alternating with beautiful prairies and
openiugs.
The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any
other part of the country —the air is pure and bracing,
while living streamsaml springs of excellent water abound.

at $2 to *1 per tuu —and wood can be hud at the Bime rate

Building Slone of excellent quality also abounds, which
can be procured for little morn than tbo oxpense of trans

The great fertility of theso lands, which are a black
rich mould fs>m two to five feet deep, and gently rolling,
their contiguity to this Road, by which every facility is
furnished for travel ami transportation, to the principal

which they can be cultivated, render them tho most valu
able investment that can be found; and prosent the most
favorable opportunity, for persons of industrious habits
and small means, to acquire a comfortable Independence in

Chicago is now the greatest grain market In the world—
and the facility and economy with which the products of
these lands can be transported to that market, make them
