Many years since, there dwelt, near du' ' Falls of Niagara, in a house so old that it became a matter of astonishment what kept it from tumbling down, un En. 4 lish man, and his daughter, whose wonderful beauty had become proverbial. Mr. Hey- • ward lived very secluded. After the death' of his wife, he purchased this wild retreat, and his daughter, Constance, with no other teacher save himself, grew up as lovely in person and pure in heart as the most affec tionate parent could wish. She an u s s. d her self with her flowers, pets, and nius-ie, until her lather found time to accompany her in rides or walks through the most, romantle scenery ever enjoyed on earth. Alany a long walk had she taken with him, in search of the rarest flowers, and many a luxurious hour she had spent in studying their names in her folios,. in his quiet IL) 'try. The haunt's that she loved best Were one the noble stream, which bounded her t domain. Its banks were composed of pre cipitous rocks, overgrown with trees, draped with graceful vines of the clematics. She would seat herself at the loot of a cliff which rose abruptly to the height of sixty feet, and listen to the gurgling• water ;. and, undis turbed read the books selected by her father. \ hen Constance was nearly seventeen, she fell heiress to a large property that had been accumulated by an uncle in the Indies. Mr. Heyward resolved to go himself to set tle the uflairs of his deceased brother. A family residing in Montreal, Lower Canada invited Constance to make their house her home until his return, and thus relieved her father (rain the anxiety he had felt on her account. 'there was a sorrowful parting between the father and daughter. ' The heavy tears dropped from the beautiful eyes of Constance as he took his leave. "I shall have a lonely time, without you, dear fath er," said she, "but I shall not neglect my lessons." He was gone. Mr.'Heyward went to that Eldorado so very subject to whirlwinds and earthquakes happy in the knowledge that Constance was safe in the family of Mr. Arguile, whom he knew to be an ambitious than, but ho be lieved him to be the soul of honor. Constance found the family consisted of Mr. Arguile, his wife, and nephew, whom they introduced as Juan Du Varez. He was about thirty years of age. The mass of his curling hair, black as night, spoke of the olive of Spain ; while his complexion, al most swarthy ; his eyes full, black and pier cing in their expression, told of a restless or evil disposition. When Constance was shewn her rooms she was much pleased with the attention paid her in the selection. At one end of ffttEilon of tioeful Ocncral3ntelligoirc,724intteinent,illarlicto, &c. OUNTY, PA., OCTOBER 5, 1853. the room • terminated a hay window, in whose deep recess were placed pore pots in which were reared exotic plants, and in-the hum , cages comaininir her fa vorite birds. She passed throuull into her sleeping room, and then. opening another door, found iti•r,t If in a small rooni fitted up as an ot'atery. wind iw was el stained glass representioff toe infant Saviour and the Apostles. Before a full length picture of the VitTin Alary, a taper was kept burn inf.? night and day : an a small altar was dis 4r•ed a crucifix. Constance felt that she could be happy hr re. She directed her maid to unpack her wardrobe, while she hmself arranged the valuable book, that her father had left her, with written sonfestions for her improvement ; and she already felt no lack of intellectural resources. After tea, Mr. A rguile introduced her to some ladies and gentleman, who were charol ed with the young stranger. Her figure and movements were faultless in symmetry and grace. Her eves were of a dark blue, full, clear, animated, and shaded by the long black lashes. Her broad forehead ad ded much to the dignity of the intellectual ca s te of her face. Her hair was of that cbcsnut-browii, with which painters love to adorn their beauties, or portray a saint,— Mr. Heyward had left her his iiiwk hook, and she • consulted Mrs. A rguilligibout the dresses suitable for her to purchase mas she did not know the value of such things, she leCtit all to her guardians. They told her as an heiress it was necessary for her to keep a carriage expr•ssively for her own One expense after another, and so many calls on her for money at last alarmed Constance, and she gently but fir my refused to draw any more until she consulted her father. His letters told of his safe arrival, and 'spoke at his health being grand. Two years passed away very pleasantly. th onli• drawback to her hatpin• ss was the c minued tiddtcsscs of .luau De Varez ; she c ,- ,u1 , 1 not room his hive, nlihongh grateful to 'tiin for hi, kind atteirion.

"Aly dear girl," said he, you must hear news that will rend your heart, when you are Composed I beg you will r, ad a paragraph that you will hind in one corner of this paper." saving, this, he l e f t h er a l o n e . With a trembiing hand, Con stance opened the paper, the first word that met her gaze . was "host ! We received the account of a shipwreck from an eye witness. On the night of the 6th inst.. I heard the or ders of the officer on deck, to prepere for the coming horricane. I went upon deck it scented to me us if I could see, amid the darkness, the whirling motion of the' gigan tic clouds, and by the roar, ns of tell thou sand batteries, that the tempest was upon us. Its fury was bey and all description— defying belief. It howled and shrieked iftrotigh the rigging in such awful tones, that it appeared as if the Inst conclusive ef fort was at hand, and all on the eve of final dissolution. I grasped a rope. The ship strained and creaked as site rose heavily on the billows. But happily the 'duration of the squall Was in proportion to its intensity. In less than ten minutes it began to die away. We suffered no loss except that of our insintopsail, which was blown from the bolt ropes in the inoinein of the squall. We silly a ship a short time before the storm, but she was now no longer visible. A .bucket with the mime .Selina' painted on it was picked up the next day, front t% hick it is concluded that all on board the vessel had perished. How many souls have gone to eternity theAlmighty.only knows." . . When Mrs. Arguile entered the room I some time after, she found Constance lying on the fl oor, where she had fallen from her seat. In the agony of learning the doom which had fallen on her father, she had fal len into a deep swoon. The last beam of (I the setting sun streamed into the open win dow, and the eyes of the pale girl were lifted FOB. FARMER AND MECHANIC. to the purple and gold clouds that floated on the edge of the horizon. She was lying with her eyes closed. A few hours later, when Mrs. A rguile entered, Constance lay so pale, so still, that she started back, fear ful that it was dentli she had looked upon. It was the first time that . Constance could remember being confined to a sick bed ;'and she struggled hard with her wakness.— She was quiet, and obeyed her nurse ; when no eye save that of God was upon her site tv, A tt, and prayed at the foot of the cross that she might sou,. &maned par ents. As soon as she was able to leave her mums, Jwtn insisted on her taking their usual rides about the country. Her consti tution was good, and her health was restored in a short time. Three months passed away.and all hopes concerning the missing ship were lost, and Constance felt that she was indeed an or phan. A remarkable and sudden change had come over Juan De Varez. He threw off his air of pleading tenderness ; and he was not one to forgive her who had thus wound ed his self love. Perhaps the desire of ma king her feel soma of the mortifications she had inflicted on him, was as much an in ducement as her fortune to cause him to persist in marrying one who betrayed such aversion to the union. Thus was Constance left, at an age, too, when the care of a par ent is so necessary to a daughter, and she had been left to the guardianship of a world ly man, who tolerated the charge, hoping to make her large fortune available to the ne cessities of a nephew, whose patrimony he had in a great measure dissipated. To add to her troubles, her maid who had always treated her with the greatest respect, irot married. Constance gave her enough to furnish her house plainly, and she left with tears of gratitude one, whom to serve, had been a pleasure. One night Mrs. Arguile, who was afraid of her husband, slipped a note written in French, under her door. Constance saw it. and turning, to the window read, "Oar Con. do not go to bed to-night, but remain in the sacr,• d protection of your oratory.— We Its Ye tier soon. I dirt, not sly an t. mote ; h war•• of your mind. Dostroy this note. M. A." As she finished reading=, she heard the sound of a carriage leavinii the court-yard Comprehending nothilly, but that she must obey, she rang fur the HMV mail, and tel her that she did not r, quire her s, r vices again that evening, she turned towards her sleeping room,—"But my lady wont von want t our wrapper, let me undross you."— Constance waved her hack, and opening the dour of the oratory, she catered and locked the door after her. The maid left the ,iparr• merit s o o n oft( r. Once through tho night Loos.alice heard the doors of the adjoinino booms open and shut, but she counted her beads in an au,iil)le voice; the nois,_, c,,, F ;od and she heard no nio,r. She fell asleep t 'war Is mourning, :toil whon she awoke the occurrence was remembered only as a dream. Site had her breakfast in her room and Mrs. A rguile called her to dinner as usual. Sit asked no questions; indeed she nevr.r again saw Mrs. Arvid,. alone. EMI One roorntrig they were assn inYi , d in the parlor where they always sat to read or sew when 11r. Argarli• said,—.llas UOI• ar.• 1)111' invit,uiun for to-morrow night ?• "No." said his ni•phew, casting a frown towards Constance as he left the room. "Do you know," said his uncle, -that you have driven every respectful visitor frimi toy house by your coquetry 1" addressing hiinsidt to the astonished girl.. 6.W hat do you invan r asked she in a faint voice. "•[ mean." said he, "that you refuse to be come the wife of Juan ;.yota first encoura ged hint by accepting his company on every occasion fur more than two years, and to keep the neighbours front attackion your character, we were obliged to say that you were engaged to be married. You spent one whole night alone in this house with hint of which every one is aware ; yet you wish to drive him mad by trifling with his love, and bring disgrace on the house tyhich has given you shelter. Constance had risen for art instant. She stood before him trembling with the inten sity of her feelings. The light falling.on • her cheek made it almost ghastly ; she at length spoke. and the words appeared to bu forced from her quivering lips. And du you believe that I could encour age Juan, then refuse io wed him :or that any part of my conduct should hove given rise to tiny suspicions against my honor ? Oh' you would riot dare to insult a helpless girl if she had a protector," and while her cheek was no longer pale, her dart, eves flashed as she replied—'•and do•you think that I can brook t'lis insult ? my fath er was alive, I, Oh ! God, my father !" and she burst into a flood of tears. Mr. Arguile and Junn finding that they could not frighten the heiress to bend to their wishes, consulted on the means by which they could compel her to' take the marriage vows. Juan deluded himself with the belief that Constance .would yet love him ; us if the course he was pursuing was NUMBER 1. not calculated to destroy every sentiment of allection toward him. At last they hit upon a plan to get the unfortunate girl in their power. The maid was to foign an attach ment to her young lady and get her to leave the house. A carriage was to be provided and the coach-man was a creature of their own ; he was tit drive ton lonely Inn about twetity miles from Montreal. They were to follow him the next day with a Priest, and then the marriage would take place. Constance sat io tenable in her room, her Rountenance was pale She looked as f ope r tne 11ugt! . 1.11 11• i •41 ceased to throw its halo around the heart, and despair had usurped its place. [ler maid entered the roan, and said in a low tone,—"Flist, lady, do not speak—l will come in this evening." She turned and left with noiseless steps. That evening the girl proposed to procure a carriage and as sist Constance to make prepar Mons to quit the house of her fake friends. She listen es to the proposal, and thouirla if site could reach Quebec, sit.. would find some of her father's acquaintances and be free from per secution. t )11 the next day site coMpleted her arrangements. She wore mourning, and the rest of her wardrobe was packed, she left a letter on the table, directed to Mrs. Anzuilo. It was near midnight ere she dared to quit the house, her maid pin her in the car riarre. and hid the coachman to do as the young lady wished, When Constance thank • ed her for aid, she gave her a purse. and the girl with many thanks left her, and hast ened back to the house. It Was near morn ing when they reached the Inn. Constance wished to stay in the carriage, but the man said she would be more comfortable in the as it was chilly and the horses need ed rest. She Mond a man and his wife ready to receive ; they conducted her to a room up-lairs. an I sayintt that s should havd. breakfast brought op, they lett the room.
