" Look at my darling is she not beautiful An hette 9" said Mrs. Conyngham to her sister, as from the drawing room they stepped out upon the colonnade, at the termination of which was' the summer apartment, where the maid ser vant was preparing Alice, Mrs. Conyngham's only child, for her morning bath. Exquisitely lovely indeed did the little Alice look. Her golden hair fell down a neck than. which alabaster was never more pure, and her large hazel eyes, so seldom seen with such sun ny hair and transparent complexion, were danc ing with light as Bessie, her faithful African nurse, submitted to her playful efforts to wash white her ebony skin. No wonder that Mrs. Conyngham's heart beat with maternal fondness and pride, as her eyes rested upon the graceful child, whose very attitude was a fit subject fiSr an artist's study. One dimpled hand rested on the cushion, on which the maid was half reclining, the other grasprd the spcnge, which was again and again dipped in the massive ewer before she wearied of the vain task she had undertaken. The proud mother did. not for once take her eyes from her darling until the bath was fin- ished—the rippling hair arranged in ringletted precision. the sleeves of the snowy lawn dress banded off from the rounded shoulder, and then as Alice bounded towards her she opened her arms, and folding the child to her heart, gave expression to her feeling in every endearing term she could think of. So intently had she watched her child, that she had not observed her sister's silence, when she asked her if Alice was not beautiful, and the expression of disapproval which had now settled upon Annette Preston's face was entire ly unnoticed by Mrs. Conyngham, as she con tinued to lavish her caresses upon her trea sure. It was hot until IleSSie had claimed the child, and disappeared with her in the shaded garden walks, that Miss Preston broke the silence which she had hitherto maintained. ME " Carle," she said, " I must caution you again in regard to your child. Do you not know that you aro spoiling her by the course you are pursuing ? You would not wish her to grow up in vain, selfish and exacting, and yet such will inevitably be the result, if you are not more judicious in your management of her." Mrs. Conynchnm did not receive the well meant reproof kindly. " I suppose you think that if you, with your prim ways, had the care of Alice, she would grow up perfect; but I have heard of old maids' children before." A deep glow overspread Miss Preston's calm, pale face. and resuming her knitting. she bent over it to hide her emotion. She made no re- ply, and from that hour never advised her sis ter upon any point her Alice was concerned. " 11ie tales like him no man emila tell, Inf., \VON'S whieli melted as they fell, Alight even a bypoerite deceive, And make an infidel believe." Ten years glided over the home of the Co nynghams, scarcely leaving a trace in the beau tiful grounds that surrounded the mansion.— ; True, there was a greater luxuriance of shrub bery, a wilder growth of the vines that hung unpruned from the noble old trees of the park : but no change sufficient to materially alter the' aspect of the place. The saute accia tree droop- ed beside thafountain, whose musical plash had charmed Alice in the days of her' childhood. I Front the stone urns that adorned the massive • balustrade, the same odorous myrtles yielded 1 their perfume to the waving breeze. But the hand of time had suffered the in mates of themansion to escape thuslightly. Mr. Conyngham's black hair had changed to an iron gray, and there were lines upon his massive brows, and by the corners of his mouth and eyes, which bad been traced with no sparing finger. Ills wife, although ten years younger. had been still more severely dealt with ; for disease had wasted the roundness of her form, and destroyed her brilliancy of .complexion, making such constant encroachments upon her constitution, that sho had been obliged to con fine herself almost entirely to her own room. • Much as the mother would now hti,e - enjoyed the society of her own child, that pleasure was denied her ; for Alice was giddy and vain, and too fond of admiration to renounce her gaitics for the confinement of an invalid's rooni. Yet Mrs. Conynghatn •found no fault ; for Alice, who was not wanting in affection, over whelmed her mother with caresses whenever she spared her an hour. Even Mr. Conyng ham, strong-minded and discerning as he was, scented' blinded to the defects of his drughter's character ; and Aunt Annette, who had chang ed the least of all, was alone aware of the dan gers which beset the courted heiress's path ; but seduously as she strove to counteract them ' their came at length a crisis which she was powerless to meet. Alice had persuaded her mothepoto consent to her having one more interview with Paul I Lincoln, a young man whom her father had resolutely forbidden the house ; having reason to believe that the disreputable reports con cerning him were not without foundation. The time chosen was evening, and the place an orange grove, that swept back from the summer department where we first saw Alice, and which adjoined her mother's room. It was on the opposite side of the house from Mr. Co nynghtun's library, and Alice was sure of es caping detectionq At any rate she could shield herself from his displeasure,, she selfishly thought, by the permission which her mother ME had so weakly given. The night arrived—a calm and beautiful night in June. Alice's cheeks were flushed RP CLARA MORETON CIIAPTER I TIM MORNING DATI7 CITAPTER 11. THE TEMPTATION Allentown, Pa., June 18, 1856. with excitement as she paced the walk ,beneath the grove. Now she tore handfulls of blossoms from the trees that were snowy with bloom, and tossed them upon the green turf, unmind ful of their pleasing breath. Then wearied by her own impatience, she • threw herself upon a garden sent, and weaving a few orange buds together, fastened them in the massive braids of hair which were round her head. And thus the moments, seemingly hours to her, passed until Paul Lincoln was by her side. One instant was she trained tightly to a heart whose evil depths could she have fath omed, would have caused her to turn shudder ingly dud loathingly from the embrace which now she but released herself from with a tlu•il ling glow of happiness too intense for words. That was a long, long interview. Thrice Bessie came to tell her how late i twos growing, but the tempter would not release the hands lie hnd imprisoned, and Alice was but too willing to listen to his repeated and impassionatc entrea ties, to give him, to call her wholly his bride. It was eloquent pleading,for Paul Lincoln knew well the Weaknesses of a woman's heart, and lie failed not to avail himself of this knowledge. When at length he called her Vention to the orange clusters in her hair, saying—" Let this omen plead for me, dear Alice, and no longer refuse to be my bride." She answered not, but her beautiful head bent lower until it rested on his shoulder. For the first time his lips met her's in a kiss she was powerless to resist ; and then, in a low and passionate tone, he commenced anew his entrea ties, and they ceased not until ke had won from her a consent to leave all and flee with him that night. Then she crept noiselessly up the walk, and through the summer apartment to her mother's room. The pale anxious mother, who had bren so nervously watching her coming, received her with no chiding tones ; and Alice who Would fain have thrown her arms around her for a kiss, as was her custom, now for the first time felt herself unworthy of a mother's love ; and she knelt by the bedside and seized the thin, wasted hmls, covering them with burning kiss es, while the tears which rained from her eyes betrayed to her mother a depth of emetion which she could not account for. Surprised and agitated, she questioned her, but she received only the answer— " Mother, forgive me that I love Paul well ! I worship him ! I adore him ! and cannot live without him ! Say that you e forgive him, mother." Mrs. Conyngham had not time to answer, Alice, hearing her aunt's step in the apartmei and surprised to find that she was still awal and fearing momentarily her presence, I arose, kissed her mother, and fled hastily fr• the room. ' C•IIAPTER 111. THE RETURN '• She sleeps : dark and dreamless in her !dumb She Nvill not woke when the morning break: No—tiino a weary catalogue ellen number Of vanished years ore she again awakes." It was a chilly autumnal evening: morning wind whirled the dying leaves do , the deserted garden walls ; and to make desolation of the scene more complete, rain drops pattered now and then against windows of the stately mansion that loot up in the darkness as stately as when its inmat,_ were not bowed de4n to the earth with grief and trouble. Even a greater change had those few months wrought within than had the to d long years proceeding. As the night wore away, the wind increased in violence, and the rain fell steadily in torrents to the earth. Midnight came on, and now a sharp peel of the hall hell awoke Aunt Annette from the slight slumber she had just fallen in to. Before she could awaken Bessie, another and still louder clang rang through the silent mansion. Mr.-et - lungham was the only inmate of the house who was up. It was he who proceeded to the ball, and unlocked and opened the door. A form drenched with rain, although wrapped in elk eavy cloak, and shrouded with a veil met him in the doorway. 44 Father, do not refuse me the shelter of youT roof in this hour. They tell me, my mother is dying—oh, forgive me, father, and take me to hen" 4 4). The door was closed heavily upon her, for Mr. Conyngliam seemed steeled against the touching tones of her entreaty when she threw herself upon her knees nt his feet, and implor ed him for her mother's sake to have mercy upon her. " I have come alone," she said, " through the' darkness of this stormy' night from my hus band's home to see my mother's face and hear her voice once more. . Look at me i father. see how I have pined for her, and for the love of heaven, I entreat you to refuse me no longer." As she spoke she threw back her hood and veil. and surely he had been more than human could lie have resisted those pleading eyes— that wan and wasted face. Her hair, loosened by the wind, fell in heavy tresses to her feet, and the white, sharpened features stood out in bold outline as,thO sobbing gust swept the damp masses from her face. 11cr father, without speaking, stooped, took her hand and led her silently down the dimly - lighted hall and a corridor to the well-known door of her mother's bed-room. He paused for a moment : sonic strong emotion was at work within him. For an instant ho looked pitiful ly upon his child ; but there . came other mem ories to chase away the tenderness he felt gath ering there. " Go in, to the mother whose only fault was in loving you to well—too trustingly," ho said. Alice's heart beat quickly. She opened the door, stepped in alone, and looked aronnd her. Stretched upon the couch before her, lity a form whose rigid outlines too plainly spoke of death. Alice needed but a glance to wroprehend all. With one agonized shriek she wretched out her arms, and fell prone upon the floor. Her father's heart smote him for his cruelty, as he bent above her ; and Wilek the restora tives which he applied, with ;Vila A`nnette ' s sistance, !ought her back to consciousness, he strove in every way to make atonement for his harsh and unfeeling conduct. Alice lay ill under that roof for weeks follow ing ; but that period of her life in many ways proved beneficial to her. Aunt Annette's ex ample and advice were .no longer unheeded.— The seed which had so long fallen on stony ground now sprang up with vigor in the soil which sorrow had prepared. Mr. Conyngham also had changed in those hours of anxious watching beside his daugh- Aer's couch. He had naked himself, had not his child been more sinned agailist than sin ning ; and as he recalled all, he acknowledged that undisciplined to acts of. self-denial as she had been front her childhood, in the course she had pursued when my heart had .pleaded 'so strongly for her, she was more to be pitied than condemned. " Ay, pitied ! for unworthy indeed had the husband proved who had plighted such vows. Disappointed in not receiving with Alice the dowry he expected, and convinced' by her fruit less attempts to see her mother, that her father would always prove relentless, he had ceased to take any pains to conceal from her his true character ; and Alice found herself the wife of a heartless rots, gambler and athei st. No wonder that Mr. Conyngham's proud blood revolted from such a connection, or that' he resented the disgrace which he felt Alice had brought upon his name, by refusing to admit her within his doom When, however, actuated by a principle of duty, she expressed her desire to return to her husband, her father no longer opposed her, al though he judged rightly that she had ceased to love and respect him. In the hope of bring ing about a happier state of things in his (laugh ter'S household, he advanced a considerable sum of money, to enable Mr. Lincoln 'to engage in a lucrative business, for which an opening had offered. A few days after the reception of the money, Alice found herself deserted : and with a chas tened and subdued spirit, she returned to her old home, rejoicingly welcomed by her father. Nor was she ever heard in after-life to murmur at the severe discipline which had developed the faculties of her soul. She knew that afflic- She loved him. and his memory now Was treasured as n thing apart; The shades of thought were on her brow, The seeds of death were in her heart.
