It Was •a . : heavy blow to the isolated young man, and he ,grieved, as only an allectitmate sun could grieve over the loss of a mother. Mrs. Willard had made many friends, but no warmer one than the family of Mr. Vosworth, the Min ter of the little village near which they re sided, and whose family consisted of t wife and her young, boy, and Louisa, a daugh ter by a former wife.

"Indeed ! you need not spinet: the name, circumstances lead no to guess it. And so the young lawyer Would have sought my treasure had he known its nom inal- value ?" he continued, but rather as if speaking to himself than to the voting anon by his side ; and then turning to Frank and taking his hand Said in a trembling voice—"l yield her to you, Frank Willard, as I Would the dearest thing I possess on eutth. She resembles her sainted mother ; but, oh, for your sake and [nine, make her not an idol as 1 did that mother, lest like her she may be snatched away to show us the sin of idolatry." "Thank you, thank you," he replied re turning the pressure of the hand that he held in his oWn, and then departed, leaving the kind old attan to his solitude, for he Well knew that he would be alone.

A. few d ays passed, and wedding invita tions *etc issued, not from our humble friends, but the reputed Aliss Munson. It Was a splendod affair for the little Western village, altholarh but a few guests were in vited, and these only such as the bride des ignated Tilk: rms.'. in the place. A few days after the wedding, as Frank was: walking in the sweet, he chanced, upon turning a cornier, to come unexpectedly upon his friend, who, upon seeing hint, ex claimed : "And so, my sly fox, yota arc the one that is to carry off the dove from Ike par son's dilvecot, are you ? Well, hope it will turn out a better match than mine ; if not, you will hang yourself, I am sure, in less , than a week from your wedding day." "I apprehend nu dissatisfaction on my part, at least." "No; nor did I ; but you are not marry ing an heiress ; lint here step into my of lie', and I well tell you how rascally I have been treated.

Aker ths..leath of Airs. Fosworth, this brother was killed front being thrown from his burs'. and as he was unmarried, and as there was no will, the property 'descended, of course, to the child of his departs d sister. As this swell rred af ter Mr. Fosworth's reinov al to the West lie determined to keep it a secret from all e. von his unassuining chill, lest upon her it would exert a hurtful tendency. and he well knew that it would be a temptation to some needy fortune hunter, and thus prove at curse in 3te.ad of a blessing; but it was now ready fur her, with its accumulated interest. It is Deedless to repeat the anathemas that 'curlier Williams bestowed upon him self, Frank Willard, Parson Vosworth, and the world in general, when he became as sured of the fact ; for, with as large a share of self-esteem as usually belongs to one of his stamp, he firmly believed that he had but to have asked to have obtained the hand of his (to use his own town term) 'intik and water friend.' But he foamed and fretted in vain There was no help for it, and as son:) as he could scrape money enough to gether, he left his unlovable wife, and if alive, must now be in California, as it is sev eral months since he started. Frank Willard and his amiable wife are in the possession of that 'calm content that. well balanced minds ever c opy, while the •minister's continues the even tenor of its way, the kind old man hardly feeling, so close is their companionship' that his choice plant blooms on another's bosom.
