PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY; Pic; . BY E. O'MEARA GOODRICH. OEM ear of his daughter, was first inclined towardi the first lovesuit tendered to her charms, resented with harshness the rash step his harohness had brought about; and though, for five years after their mar riage, the Warnfords entertained no doubt of leis eventual pardon, they were at length horned mice tantly to admit that afl hope was lost of Lord Lov ell•s secession from his oath to behold his daugh ter's face no more. They now felt that they should have dealt more sparingly with the sthall patrimo ny derived by Wamlord from his deceased parents, which was all but dissipated in the belief that, atter a certain period of estrangement, the earl would recall his daughter to his lavor, and restore her to het rights upon his inheritance. But this expectation was extinguished. 4 staunch adherent of the House of Stuart, to whose haughty and obdurate despotism the frailties of his : own na ture bore considerable affinity, the Earl of Lovell had in his time been exposed to insult and injury at the hands of the Roundheads ; and his narrow spirit took delight in revenging on the son and grandchildren of General ‘Varntord the long-smart ing wounds of his self-love ; regardless that in the reins ot the latter was flowing the blood- of pro genitors whom he worshipped with all the paltry adulation of family pride. Rejecting every over lure of reeoneiliation from his daughter, he left her letters of entreaty unanswered, and at length re turned unopened ; till Warntord, who, at thirty years of age, had progressed from the romantic youth into a disappointed, gloomy, helpless man, insisted that she should humiliate herself and him no more by the renewal of these unavailing solici tation/4. From the period of their imprudent marriage, the young people had inhabited a small house in the little capital of the county-palatinate, of which Warnford's mother was a native; and there, in at tempting to secure to the lovely Lady Anne, whom he had allured, while a student of Oxford, from her father's stately mansion in the neighborhood of the university, some portion of the comforts of her luxu rious home, his substance httd dwindled away.— At thirty he was the lather of two children, a girl and brit, with barely the means of maintenance for his single self. " We shall starve—we and these helpless ones must stone' was Warnford's desponding ejacu latir-ns, on the night when Lord Lovell's silpit re jection of his daughter's last petition satisfied them that all expectation of succor trom his mercy was lat an end. "Our debt's in this place nearly equal the small remnant of my means. I have no friends, no kinsmen, no i.nerest to push me forward in the world.. Though the sti;h'est word from Lord Lov elt's lips would, without diminishing by a dot the property he prizes so dearly, secure me from the king's government the occasion fo work out my in dependence and bestow an education on our child ren, we must skik still lower in the scale of misery —must work—must want—and perhaps work and want in vain. Perhaps, with our best efforts, these babes may sink under their privations ; and you. my patient, suffering wile, prove unableJo confront the hardships we lia4ct no Icinger hope to overcome. Would—would that I had died, ere I persuaded you to desert your prosperous and bright career, for the cheerless home of an obscure and poverty stricken man t." " Have you courage to say this ?" faltered his wile, who sat rocking with one foot the cradle of their, elder child, and holding in her arms the no• ble infant she had just hushed oil to sleep upon her bosom, " when you knoW my sole solice in my troubles is the belief that life would have been worthless in you- eyes unshated by the wife and children who are weighing you down topoverty!" "And so it would !" cried Warniord, with rapid utterance. " Yon have been, you are, you et er will be—the crown and glory of Thy days. The sight of these children and their tender caresses would be as a foretaste of heaven ; but for the mix ieties for their future welfare darkening riti Ent to know that, grievous as are the straits to which my rashness has reduced you, they must become a thonitand-feld more cruel, distracts my very reason You, so tenderly reared—so cared for, that your font fell upon velvet, and not a 'breath was suffered to blow on your trag.ile youth—you to labor—you to need the common necessaries of lite !-0 why was tempted to do this thing, and how shall f abide the sight of your wietchedness " Cheer ny, \Varnford !" cried the kind-hearted being, vthosß nature was a nature of love, sparing one hand from her little charge to extend it to the ready caress of her husband. "It this be all,cheer up ! You know me only es the thriftiest, giddy girt —the dainty; tender woman—henceforward you shall see me the stirring matron—the careful house. wife.

I must have you cheer your spirits for my sake—l must have you up and bestir yourself— ! must have you persevere to a good end ! I will labor cheerfully', btit you must be my help-mate and companion. 1 will oppose a °hernial face to sorrow, but yours nodal no :Inlet Wear a frown.— We are not utterly deserted of Heaven—we have youth and health ; and for how many of the crea• tures of God do these form a sufficient provision ! Such fair and promising children are not vouch safed to us in vain. They are given us as pledges of better days—they are given us as encourage. mem to bear and to forbear—they are given as an incitement to our efforts, and a comfoirto our cares. For them, dearest, and for me, look to the blighter side of things. 111 do not forget my father, I have at least forgotten my father's house ; nay, I have forgotten all, save love and duty—love that makes duty light, and duly that sobers and consecrates the sportiveness of love. Low as we are in life, I an happy; be happy too, and nothing will be left me to desire." And, lo ! thus cheered and comforted, there we hope b 3 the desolate fireside of the necessitous man, But this was not all. Words of solace were not the only offering of the good and tender wife. She had words of counsel, too, for his ear, which, aher much debate, tended to a nappy issue. Lady Anne persuaded him to quit Laitgaster, to renounce the intercourse of those of their own de gree—people who loved then no jot the better for attempts to maintain a position in life ruinous to their narrow fortunes. Alter much seeking, they found notice at an attorney's office of a vacancy at the miserable farm of : and nearly the re tnainder of Warn ford's heritage was expended in the necessary outlay for lease, stock, and plenish ing. 11.4ving settled themselves thus, at the ex• tremity el - civilization, they resig..ed all pretence to gentleness of condition, the pumps of life; worked hard, tared hard ; and after two years buffeting be• tween necessity and the lingering influence of their early breeding, found their refinement of nature and sentiment worn down to the exigercies of their cnnditio't. Algernon Warntord held the plough which Wai to procure bread fur his children, while Alistress Warnford tended the two lean nolch•kine; which afforded their chief subsistence The unfrnilul soil was such as to tax the utmost efforts of the inexperienced husbandman. The peasant's buy and girl hired to assist the labors of the distressed family, gaie only trouble by their ignorance. But in the sequel, perseverance pre vatted. Though he who, as a gentleman, had beer a bad scholar, proved as a Lit mer an indifferent :lg. riculiurist, the effort of being up 'gaily and late, ute through summer's sun and winter's frost, over came, as providence hath promised, the stubborn curse of nature; arid at the close of five years of heavy labor, the IVarnlords were not only able to maintaiu their elder children, and a younger—an ocean pearl, born in the briny solitude of fielisle— but had amassed great store 61 wealth—a press lull of linen, vtin under their roof—several articles of household furniture, the produitt cf their united in genuity—and, above all, a stout coble•boar, which, with the aid of an able builder from Whiiehaven, who passed a couple of summer months domiciled with them at the farm. Warnford hail launched with great ceremony froth the stocks, and christen• ed and painted with the suspicions name of " The Lady Anne of Heliale." It mar be doubted wheth er the Earl of Lovell, who was now officiating in his frivolous old age as Lord Chamberlain to his most gracious Maje.sty„liail in The interim achieved any effort hall so gratifying. Nor was the ornamental department wholly ne glecter). Warnford had retouched and whitewash ed, within and without, the plaster walls of the lit tle dwelling, had contrived a rude carpet of sheep skins for the portion of the, hall or kitchen specially habited by his wile, and had ever, planted the spot of ground beneath her window with hedges of Ira grant rosemar y , which, as its.name denote:li, rejoi ces in the dew of the sea; for the sea-spray reach ed it there. On winter n'ights, the tfirthbfertess of le one-storied mans anwaviits vole security against ie trementlom storm-bursts of the Irish chunnel; and often, when signals of .distress boomed from the of Mistress Wardord would mart from her pillow, and with a prayer of intercession Tot the souls in peril bless the roof that gave snob comfort able shelter to the helpless ones wham her soul loved. In fine weather, she and her children—more es pecially her son Wand—often accompanied Warn (on' when his day's labors were done, in an even ing sail, coasting those beautiful shores.

It :was one of the isac.rificeasspected Warntord's pride by his more nobly Constituted Wife, that he should stoop in all things to his altered condition, and live, and let live, with those among whom Providintett had, appointed, their career. • There .was old Hal Hobbs and his dame, caw ere at the Condish eluded, which extended along' theeosst by Furness, *he thought the month elotig one in urbiab htistresolVarniOnl, or her good. mai, torgot to btiiig %Fatty and teeny to taste their hon ey, or garden betties. .

But as yearriArew on, , the mother, as by Were appointed, began to outweigh the wife in, the bo som of LOA" Lovell's daughter. - She tad' borne cheerfully with her lot tOr berself,,and for her hus band ; she could not he so easily contented for her children. Her mind and that of Warnlord, hat' been bonned by early education ; and though no leisure Or opportunity was left them now for indul. gence of scholarship, they knew enough to derive double enjoyment from the revealed phenomena of nature which afforded the recreation of their un• eventful lives. But the children had no books, no instructors ; acd engrosser! by the homely indastry indispensable to their support, their parent could do little in that task _of unremitting preceptorship in dispensable tp drive the young and volatile thro' the thorny ways of learning. Walter one Helena accordingly wandered all clay long about the featureless fields of the islet, vCithotit a shrub of bush to fix their attention, or a field flower to enliven the saline herbage. Hand in hand they watched by the shore till the receding tide telt clear to their eager feet those sparkling sands, to which every ebb at the waters afforded hazard or novelty purple sea-shells, tightly 'em• bedded there, the euricus pebble, the stranded weed, detached from the podded vegetation cling ing to the sunken rocks; the living jellies of the sea anemone or star-fish, or some 'belly ou'east flung by the waves on die shore to' crawl its an X. ward way back again to a more congenial element. The white gulls would sand unheeding, while the two little ones went wandering np and down ; or the curlew dip its wing into the wave within reach of their little hands; so gentle were :heir move ments; and so custon:ary was their presence on the rpm. But when Walter attaided the 'age of hardihood, and at ten years old, delighted to unmoor the Coble from its chain, and having sat the sail, steer boldly along the shore towards Furness, having compell. ed his sister to bear him company, that they might encounter together the chastisement of their diso- bedience, Mistress Warnforil felt that the boy's spirit was breaking bounds. He had none of the usual occupations of youth to exhaust his elasticity et limb and muscle—no pony to ride—no tree to elittibno CoMparticn 1p overcome in Wrestling, qnoits, or other athletic cxere yea. He had no as sociate but his sister Helena; for a sort of innate arrogance kept him aloof from the herdsman em ployed in the out-door labors of the farm. At length ; having escaped one day from hums to the fair at Dalton, and tarried away td, the tide had flowed, and ebbed and flawed again, distracting his mother with apprehensions lest, finding himself belated, tie should attempt to wade through the channel of the flowing waters when nearly breast. high as she had ellen known him do before—she resolved, when she clamped the truant once more in her arms, (after having dared the passage in a crazy tub (0 boat, long condemned as. unseawor. thy by the fisherman of namsitle,) to make swim ruempt at rescuing her eon from a state of life, where the energies of his arrogant nature were thus afllicringly doomed to run to waste. A letter was accordingly indited to the Earl of Lovell by his daughter ; pretending no penitence for the past, but setting forth the degraded pros pects of her children for the future, unless he de signed to extend a succorable band, and enable them by fitting education to assume at some fu:ura time a position in the world wore consonant with their honorable kinernanship. For herself, she ask ed nothing—low as was her estate, Lady Anne avowed herself content. All she entreated of her father was to call her fair young son to his prey. ecce, and decide, by personal investigation, wheth. er it were not foul shame for a youth so nobly gifted in mind and body, to sink into a hewer of wood and drawer of water. Unknown to Warn. ford was the letter written and despatched to the Dalton post office; and as his wife stood watching the coble driving over the little channel to the main land, bearirg with it the missive which was to de. cide the destinies of her offspring ; she almost trem bled at the reflection. that her proceeding might be. Come a source of alienation in the little family, even as her island home, which. at sunrise: had been .part and parcel of-the oontinent,was now a sever• ed islet, cinctured by the, roaring see. Time passed away, but no answer from Lovell Court ! Lady Anne !Oahe' she had humiliated herself in vain. Her lather's heart like her father's door, was irrevocably against her, and she emigre'. elated herself that she had not acquainted - Warn. ford with her measuree s and so procured him a share in her.disappeintraent. For Warnford was now a gloomy-minded, unyielding man. :Hard la. hot and severe care had extingnished the happier impulses of bia nature. His.elavery had become inechaniCal to him, for he. saw that it was to be the unamending.portion of his life ; but ,not even the gentle companionship of Las• angelic wife well bring smiteti-ao his face, or words of gladness to his lather's spirit was breaking out in him.

Their errand was nnickty said. They brought missives from the Earl, undertaking the charge of his elder grand children, on condition`iat they were given up to his care,-to be bred as became the future inheritors of his fortmes. His eldest daughters, the Marchioness of Saltram, and the la. dy Helena Mauleverer, having in their turn incur red his displeasure, he engaged to make forth With a handsome settlement nit Wither a• 4 r!
