TROWBRIDGE "The world would hardly be worth liv. leg in if it, were not for flirtation," exclaim. ed the gay and thoughtless Isabel Lee, as she laughingly enter() I her aunt's room . "I hope you are not serious.," she said. "There's nothing like flirtation," cried the merry Isabel. "But you look reproach ful—angry,---" "Oh, I am sot angry," replied Mrs. Bet , ford, with a melancholy smile. "But you are displeased." "Your words recall recollections which cause me to feel sad, Isabel ; that's all.— Sit down here by my side, and you shall hear a story of one of my flrtationa, which may change your mind." Isabel sat down, looking thoughtful, and her aunt continued— "When I was young like you, dear child, I was quite as guy and thoughtless as your self. I was called a coquette, and, I shame to confess it, gloried in the name—until the occurrence of the painful event am about to relate. "Half a dozen times a year,l used to via it C— and spend a week in the pleasant society of our friends in that place. There i frequently mot a pale, handsome, sensi tive young man named Gilborne, who paid me' very flattering attentions, making me the theme of several poetic effusions, and with whose partiality I was very well pleas ed. "1 was warned by many well meaning friends against encouraging the addresses of so impulsive a person as Gilborne, who they said was more serious than I, and who might end by falling more deeply in love with me than I expected or desired. I laughed at the idea; and finding the at tentions of the young pout still agreeable, I continued to receive them until it was too late." "Too late I how so, aunt 7" 1 4 Why, to my astonishment, he one day made a passionate delsration of love And offered UN Ma hand." "Aud you did not love him ?" "No, child.

They bore no name but I knew they were from Henry Gilborne. But I woe beginning to be very much annoyed.,A-took eel with my friends and tived to send all future epistles back to him unopened I returned two letters in this manner, and received uo more, but three or four meets after I received a newspaper, in which there was a sonnet addressed to me under a fictitious name, and signed with his ini. dais. He had discovered a new mode of reaching me with his passionate effusions ; and from that time a sonnet or song sign-' ed "H. G—." came to me in the C Gazette nearly every week. "At this time Ur. Berford was paying me his addresses ; ho was ono of nature's noblemen—frank, generous, km in what ho considered right ; and a gentleman in his manners. Having learned a 'lesson from the unhappy termination of my last flirtation, I received Mr. Buford's atten tions in a different manner from what I had been accustomed to do, and in a short time wo were married." The ceremony took place in a church.— I loved Mr. Berford. Unborn° was at the moment quite forgotten, and I was perfect ly happy. I bad not a thought to disturb my peace of mind—the , calm repose of my heart, which I bad so willingly, gladly given away—until, as we were parsing from the church, my eyes fell upon a wild, hag gard figure, near the door. "It was GilLorue I Ilia face was dread fully pale, hir lips ashy, his eye gleamed with unnatural brightness, and he trvit.- bled in every limb. I stoned, uttered a suppressed cry, and, shuddering, clung to my husband's ann. A pang went_through toy heart—a pang of remorse and' dread ' which I shall ewer forget." "What's the matter ?" Edward asked I could not reply. But ho !item my eyes fixed upon the haggard object in the door way, and knew why I shuddered, for I had told him of my unfortunate flirtation." "Is that Gilborns ?" he asked. "Ves," I murmured. '• By this time all eyes were fixed on the wretched nitin. It was not his Rile faec and wild eyes alone that attracted at tention ; his dtik,„ was dkarranzed, his long dark hair CT in disordered halo a bout his checks and his garnients were cov ered with dust of travel. i But while all eyes were fixed on hint, his' were fixed on we alone ; and in my alarm and confu sion, I felt the blood forsake my cheeks, then burn in them like fire. "Gilborne fell hack as we approached the door, and bowed solemnly with his hand on his heart as we posed out. I wa4 glad to lose sight of him, and lardently hoped his passion would be cured. "But his haw, tube stood there in the door-way, haunted my brain, and it was many hours before I could compose my ' self. "I was begioniag, however, to feel at ease again in the midst of our wedding guoste, when a demeatio came to rue to say that a person wished to see me in the hall. Thinking it was some invited friend who had arrived at a late hour, I hastened to the door alone. Imagine my consternation who I saw the wild figure of Qilborne standing before me. "How do you do 1" he asked, addressing me by my maiden name, "Won't you shako hands with me V" I gave him my hand. "You tremble," mid he, fixing his wild eyes upon my face.

"No..thank you ; you have company, I soe---and I make one guest too many.— And you see I am not dressed for a party," said he, glancing at his disordered attire. "So you will excuse me. Ha I ha !

To my great relief I saw Mr. Berford advance into the ball. Gilborno started back, fixable eyes upon my husband with 'a wild and tierce expression, which caused me to fear for him. But Edward was undaunted. Returning ailborne's gaze with a firm, steady, com manding look, be advanced towards him, and demanded what he wanted. The dangerous spirit of the insane man Was subdued.

"Poor wretch," murmured Edward, as be kindly took my hand, "he is to be piti ed ! But you are agitated. I hope," ho added, in an anxious tone, "you have noth ing to blame yourself for in this matter. "I wish I had not," I exclaimed ftrvent ly.,'"But oh, Edward, I feel that I have acted wrong—although heaven knows, I never intended he should love me." "Weil do not reproach yourself too severely," he replied in a mournful voice. "Let us go back to the parlor, and forget what has taken place." "We returned together, and Edward's presence alone sustained me for the rest of the evening. Fear, pity, and remorse, madelny heart faint and my cheek pale, and I was wretched." "1 think I understand your feeling," said Isabel, who hail listened with deep in terest. "I know how I should have felt under a conviction that any thoughilm iiess of mine had ruined a fiik)w being's happiness—perhaps had shattered his in 1, But you heard from Gilborue a gain ?"'

Everybody treated him kindly, for al• though ho was evidently of an insane mind, there was a mildness—a melancholy enthusiasm about him which won all hearts. "Search was made for him. His friends were not mistaken in their suspicions.— Ha was the wandering Gilborno!" "Uh, aunt !" exclaimed Isabel, tears filling her eyes. "They carried him back to C—.— For several weeks be seemed contented to remain at home, but at length his dispo sition to wander returned, and be disap- peered again. One chilly, rainy day, I wan sitting alone in my room, amusing myself with my first child—then about six months old —when there was a ring at the door. Our domestic bud gone out, and, there being no body in the house but me, I left little Ella playing on the floor, and I wont to open the door. I started back with an exclamation of alarm. Gilborne, drenched with the cell rain, was standing on the steps. My first impulse was of fear, and I would have shut the door in his face, had he not looked up to me, and said in a utel- unchnly voice— “lt rains. May I come in ?” I was touched. I held the door open as he entered. There was a fire in the sitting room, and I made him set down before it to dry his LI For ten minutes not a word wits spoken by either of us ; but Ilia will oyes followed me about the room wherever I went. I trembled with an un definable dread, and oh ! how ardently I longed to hear,the footsteps of Edward in the hall. I tried to speak to the wretched man, but for some reason I could not ; and his eyes still followed toe in silence. At length, to my dismay, I beard Ella , crying in the next room. Gilborns started. "Is that your child 1" he asked. 1 trembled as I replied that it was.— Turning deadly, pale, he started from his scat, and approached the room whence the dry proceeded, Much as I feared him, I I caught his arm.

There was no frenzy in his eyes ; but tours gushed from them, and rolling down his sallow. cheeks, fell like rain upon the face of my child. He kissed her, and rising from his knees, begged my pardon in a son and melancholy voice, and words so delicate and touching that I burst into tears. Before I cold speak ho was gone. "How singular !" exclaimed Isabel. From that day Gilboedo's insanity die appeared. He is now a minister in C—.
