The shout of the dreamer destroyed the
horrid spell ; and he awoke.

told him where he was, how found, and
how protected. And his o'erehangsd

to God.
He thanked him for the dream which
had awakened him from the deep of

vow, that the dread which had thus plain

The Perslmonlous Clerk.
" Weston." said Mr. Dayton to one of
his clerks as they were atone in' the spa
cious counting room which was attached
to the large store of which Mr. Dayton
was proprietor, '4 give me leave to say that
I don't think your dress sufficiently , gen
teel to appear as clerk in a fashionable
store."
A deep blueb suffused the face of the
young man and in spite of his endeavor
to repress it, a tear glistened in his full,
black eyes.
" Did I not know your salary was suffi
cient to procure inure genteel habiliments,
I would inereaseit:!--
-! , 41ar9 Ampll),iirge, airft-replied
Weston, with a mortified air, but with
that proud independage of feeling of
which even poverty bacTnot been able to
deprive him.
"Oblige me then, by changing your
apparea-eand presenting n different appear
ance in the future. You are wanted in
the store." Weston turned and left his
employer, who muttered as he took up his
japer. " How I detest the parsimonous
fellows." Mr. Dayton was a widower and
had but one child, a daughter, who was
the pride of his declining years. She was
good as an angel and beautiful as she was
good. She was simple in her taste and
zippeanin cc.
Such was Laura Dayton when Weston
May first became an inmate of her father's
house: and what wonder is it that he
soon learned to love her with a deep and
ardent alfectson. Their tongties never
give utteiance to what they felt, but the
language of their eyes could not be mis
taken. Weston was the very soul of hon
or; and although he perceived with pleas
ure that he was not distasteful to her,
still he felt that he must conquer the pas
sion that glowed in his own heart.
" I Must not win her heart," tie said to
himself; "I am penalises and her father
will never consent to our melon." Thus
he reasoned, and thus he manfully en
deavored to subdue what he considered
an ill-fated passion. Laura had many
suitors and some were worthy of her: but
she refused them with decisive yet gentle
firm ness.
Her father wondered at her conduct but
would not strive to alter her inclinations,
He.was in the decline of life and wished
to see her happily settled ere he departed
from this world. it was not long before
he surmised that young Maw was the
cause of her indifference to others. The
pleasure she took in bearing him praised,
the blush which mantled her flee when
their eyes met, served to convince the old
gentleman that they took more than
common interest in each other. He for
bore to make any remark upon the sub
ject. and was not so displeased at the
thought as Weston imagined he would
be..
Weston May had now been three years
in his employ. Mr. Dayton knew noth
ing of his family; but strict integrity,
good mom's, and pleasing manner, con
spired in making him esteem Weston
more highly. lie placed unbounded con
fidenco in him and was proud of him. lie
wished him' to dress us well as others,
and had oftenivondered at the scantiness
of his wardrobe; for although Weston
dressed with the most scrupulous regard
to neatness his clothes were almost
threadbare; Which Mr. Dayton thought
proceeded front a niggardly disposition
and accordingly lie addressed him upon
the subject as before related.
Soon after this conversation Mr. Day
ton left home on business. As he was rid
ing through a pretty little - village. he
alighted at the door of a cottage and re•
quested a drink of water. The mistress.

" Weston May i Is it possihlel Why he

store only two weeks ago."
Explanationd ftillowed.'and Mr. Dayton
soon left, promising to call at some other
time.
" Noble fellow," said he mentally, as he
was riding alone and ruminating upon the
Gill. "Noble fellow! I believe be loves
my girl and he may have her anti part of
my money, too. Let me see, and he fell
into a reverie ; and by the time he reached
home he formed a plan he determined to
execute. How it terminated, we shall see.
Full of his new plan he entered the break
fast room where Laura was waiting his
appearance.
"So Weston is going to England."
." Sir," said Laura, dropping her coffee
cup, "going to England?'
"Tote sore, what of it, child ?"
" Nothing—only—l—we shall be rath
er lonesome," replied'she, vainly endeav
oring to suppress her team
" Come, come, Laura, tell me, do you
love Weston? You never deceived me,
don't do it now." . -
"No, well. I—l do love him most sin
cerely."
" I thought ea," replied he, as he left
the. room. '
"Weston," said he, as "he entered the
store, `ayou expect to go into the country,
shortly, don't you ?"-
"Yes, sir, in about two weeks."
" If it would not be inconvenient, I wish
you would defer it a few weeks longer,"
said Mr. Dayton.
"1 will, sir, with pleasure, if it will
oblige you."
It will greatly oblige me, for Laura is
to be married in about six weeks, and 1
wish you would attend the wedding,"
" Laura married!" said Weston, start,
ing as if he had been shot. .
:‘ To be sure. What ails the boy?"
"Nothing sir • only it was rather sud
den—unexpected,"
"It is rather sudden; but lam an old
man. and wish her to have a protector be
fore I die. I tun glad you can stay to the
wedding."
" Indeed, air, I cannot stay," saki Wes
ton forgetting what he had just . said.
You cannot! Why, you inst. now said
you would."
Yes, sir ; but my business requires my
preseuce, and I must go."
" Command me in anything else, but in
this I cannot oblige."
"Weston, tell me frankly, do you love
my girl ?"
" Sir."' Weston seemed like one waking
from W dream.
" Do you lore my girl ?"
"I do sir." ,
"Will you givo7,,tue your. mother fur
hers"
Mr. Dayton repeated the incident ab
ready related, and in conclusion said ;
" And now, boy, I have written to your
mother and ofrertil myself, an 4 she has
accepted ; what have you to say ?"
" That I am the happiest fellow on the
earth, nod prom! to call you father, " re
plied the young man with .a joyful ux..
A few weeks after a double wedding
took place at Mr. Dayton's mansion, and
soon after a sign went over a certain store,
bearing the inscription of " Dayton Ft
Co."
Young man, you may learn from this
that it is not tine clothes _that will win
for you the esteem of those around you.
