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 reading her heart proceeded.

He is rich and would ensure yoi 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?.

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 was no hope iherelote, thai he would evi i lise from the situation iulo which ho wat now plunged. Do you know I told you,' said one ol M iry'a early friendj lo another, 'that Mr. Siewarl might live to repent hei nfusal ol Dr. Newton? 1 wonder if my word's havn'i conic liuo.'
