The daughter of a gentleman, who had been ruined by a dissipated and wicked brother, she wa, it the age oftwentv, left if we excent lie cottage and the small plot of ground which surrounded il quite destitute.

Edward's afleclion for her seemed to ncrcasc, and this, perhaps, strengthened ner atrcauy strong allcclion lor him. lcr disposition was one of high princi ple arid unwearied industry ; and, con- irary to the advice ol her ncighborvhe persisted in talung shelter under tho on rool to which she had a right, and in obtaining hor livelihood by an art which in happier hours, she practised as an ac complement.

I his intention was carried into ellcct on tho appearance of old Mary, Jane's factotum and housekeeper; and Poller having gallantly olletcd to row Miss Mason up Ihe river to tho parsonage in his boat, left the lady he so much, km 40 vainly admired, lo solitude, often til best balm for sorrow. Had a stranger observed Jane. Lamb. ton when left to liersell, he would have In Jane's strong mind, however, sov ow seldom dwelt long, and the next morning she hadmamfestly recovered her usual composure. But her afiectton was doomed to receive a new and se vere 6hock. She received a letter from Edward, in which his reproach. of sel tish coldness was not only Tcpoatcd, but others added even more unkind and un founded. He had heard, he said, of Poller's admiration of her, and doubted not that she thought him a better match 'ban one with blasted and uncertain prospect. He bade her farewell. He was going to London, and would at las 'ake Ihc worldly advice she had so fre quently given: he would endeavor l, help himself,' by turning his altentioi mil talents to literature. Bitter, unkind, and undeserved a 'his letter was, Jane softened its effects, iy framing every possible excuse for hei lover.

She was, however, glad hat he had al last made up his mind to ixert his own energies, instead of con stantly dancing attendance on the patron ige and interest of his friends,is he had unwisely done for several years, On the olher hand, a proper sense of her own worthiness came to her aid, to point out tiiat it would bchighly inex pedient lo receive Bjrnlon again on the same fooling as formerly, even where ho to repent ot his unktndncs., until inmo decided change had taken place not only in his sentiments, hut in hi circumstances.

Edward, who had more of romance made, by his peculiar disposition ruggrd. and uneven now sinking into a valley of despair, now raised on a summit of hope. In this way six mon'.hs ol the probationary twelve passed away. It will be remembered, lhat during the February of Iho year hofora lal, there were some severe weather.
