'Mary,' said Mr. Stewart to her daughter
I think you go loo far in allowing such par
tieular attentions on ihe part of James New

ajreeable, and for a partner in tho dance,
now and then might do, but then he is but
a poor doctor, and now when his devo
lion becomes marked it is time il lime ii
was checked.'
Mary blushed and dared not look lie
mother in the face, for she felt guilty ol
having received Newton's attentions with
disfavor, and she was to much under the
control of her step-mother to ank whethei
ihe objection against her new admirer waf
valid. Mi. Stewart saw her demeanor th

There is George Sanford now, who is
independantly rich, and could maintain a
wife in the fust style. lie admires vou,

her needle with inrrcased velocity, 'it is

Mary plied her needle again with mere as

of a more ecquainlancr.for this young yhy
eician. With Sandford it is a different mat

happiness, but with Mr. Newton for a bus
band, your life would be a continual sltug
'gle against mortification, want and misfor
tune. Hut I havo the confidence in yon
which persuades mo that you agree will
me. and that on so important a matter at
this, we shall not differ You have al
ways been a dutiful child Mary, and
hope, in this 'natter, you will not pain my
heart.'
Mrs. Stewart had nol been wrong in he
estimate of the effect these words would
have on Mary. Tears gathered into her
daughters eyes. She flung her aims around
her mother's neck, and promised lo obey
her wishes She had been conquered
The cay circle in B soon heard ol
the approaching marriage of Miss Stewart
to Mr. Sandfoid, for whom, il was curious
ly whispered, ihe poor Newton had been
discarded. The wedding was celebrated
wilh great mangnillcence, and ihe equipage
mansion and furniture ol tho bride, were
for six months ihe town talk.
Years passed. Tho young physician
'radually acquired a practice, and married
in estimable woman, with whom he enjoy
ed unalloyed felicity Al firsl, indeed, the
young couple had to practice the mosl rigid
conoray, but their mutual love sweetened
whatever might have been bitter in thcii
lot, and when they contemplated their sma
bul neat parlors, neither Newton nor Ids
wifo would havo exchange! their lot I'm
oyalty. Gradually their means increased
and when they moved into a large house in
me of the principal streets of tho city, ihey
injoyed their now roally handuome dwil
ling the more because il had been slowly
icquired.
This event happened jusl as ihe great
risis in the financial woild eomo on, a lew
years since, when so many families lost
heir all. Among others Mr. Sanfrord was
educed lo beggary, by the bankruptcy ol
he United Slates Dank, in w hose stock
lis whole fortune was invested And now
ame the punishment of Mr?. Sie wart's
nerccnary spirit. She saw her favorin
laughicr plunged into poverty, which a hus
band with whom Mary could not syrn
utilize, and who, by his habits of luxur
ius indolence, hail become unfit lo struggh
with the world for his daily bread. Thou

now plunged.
Do you know I told you,' said one ol
M iry'a early friendj lo another, 'that Mr.

Her companion sighed as she answer
