BT MBS. SOCTHWOETH.
It wa3 early in the morning of a
lovely day in June, A. I).. 1800, that
a Tathcr lanrc group of idlers gather
ed in front of the Etheridge Arms, a
quaint old tavern, in the ancient little
town of Swinburne, in the west of
England.
15y their loots and conversation, it
Wis evident that some event of unu
so il importance was expected to come
off.
They were, in fact, awaiting the
arrival of the mail coach, which was
to bring down Colonel Hastings, and
his son Albert, who was the bride
groom elect of Lady Etheridge, Bar
oness of Swinburne, the last of her
race, and sole heiress of the immense
wealth and vast estates of her lordly
ancestors.
The nuptials were to be celebrated
on the iullowiiig day : and the re
taicers and neighbors of the noble
bride, w ho almost worshipped her for
her goodness of heart, were anxious
to see the man who was to be their
beloved "lady's" husband
They had not long to wait. The
coach soon camo thundering up to the
door; and as toon as the stops were
let down by the obsequious landlord
Colonel Hastings issued forth. lie
waS an elderly gentleman, tall, spare.
and stooping ; was clothed in a suit
of clerical black : and his pale, thin
long face was surrounded by hair and
whiskers prematurely cray. He was
closely attended by his secretary
Ferdinand Cassinovc an Italian, of
Buch graceful mien and diunihed bear
ing, that he might have beca taken
for a prince of the blood attended by
an old gcutleman in waiting.
Next came forth a young gentleman,
whose handsome person aud haughty
manner at once attracted general
attention. His form was tail, aud
finely proportioned, crowned bv
haughty head and face, with high
aquiline features, fair aim lrcsli com
idexion, light blue eyes, and very
light, flaxen hair. His expression of
countenance, in keeping wan hi
whole manner, was stem almost to
rcpellaut severity. Great beauty of
person, with great dignity of maimer,
forms a combination very attractive
to most young women, and perhaps it
was this that fascinated the young
heiress of Swinburn Castle, for this
was Albert Hastings, the bridegroom
elect. lie was followed into the
house by his valet, bearing his dressing-case.
After a sliulit repast, Colonel Has
tings, attended by Cassinovc, drove
off to the castle to have a preliminary
interview with Lady Etheridge, (who
was his ward,) and arrange the mar
riage settlements. On arriving at
the lordly castle, Cassinove was alio wn
into a sitting-room, while the colonel
proceeded to the library, whither his
ward was requested to come to meet
him.
As the young Italian paced np and
down the room, occasionally pausing
before a full length mirror, which re
flected the spacious window (reaching
from ceiling to floor) and the pictur
esque landscape beyond, suddenly,
among the rosc3 outside, glided a purple-draped
female figure, that immedi
ately rivetted his attention. .It was
a woman in tlic earliest bloom ol
youth. As young Cassinove gazed
upon her reflected image, as he never
gazed upon her, lie felt as though a
goddess had suddenly descended
among the flowers. Her form was
above the medium height, and well
rounded. Her head was finely for.n
cd, and covered with a profusion of
jet black, glittering hair, that was
plainly parted over her broad, expan
sive forehead, and swept arouud the
temples, and wound iuto a rich and
massive kuot at the back of the head.
Her eyes were large, luminous, dark
gray orbs, that seemed, whenever the
long veil of lashes was lifted, to throw
a light wherever they glanced. Her
nose was straight and well formed,
her lips rounded, and, like all the
rest, full of character. In the car
riage of her head and neck, and in
her stately footsteps, there was a cer
tain natural majesty that, even in a
jteasant's dress, would have proved
her one of Nature's queens.
The impression made upon the en
thusiastic heart of Ferdinand Cassi
nove was at once vivid, deep, aud
strong quick assun-pau
ncut as sculpture. He saw this god
dess of the intellectual brow and
stately step open the window and ad
vance into the room, and as she ap
proached him he felt his whole frame
thrill with a strange emotion of blen
ded pain and delight. He dreaded to
move, yet as the needle turns to the
magnet, he felt himself turning from
the reflected image to face the origi
nal. He stood before that queenly
ef bis dream the dour opeued, nod a gray
haired servant entered softly, and atrpping
across tbe room to where the lady sai, and
speaking in Ibe low, subdued tone in
which royal personages arc addressed said
".My lady, Colom-I Hastings' respects,
and he awaits your ladyship in i be library."
"Very well, W iiliuius j go and say to
Colonel Hasting that 1 will attend him
immediately," answered the lady, rising.
This queeuly woman, then was Laura,
Baroness Etheridga of Swinburn ! For
ever aud for ever ucattainable by hi no !
Uh, despair I 11 is castle id tbe air tumb
led all about biui, aud buried all his hopes
aud aspirations iu its fall.
After greeting Colonel Hastings, on ber
entering tbe library, Lady Etheridge took
a parchment from a drawer iu tbe centre
table, aud banded it to ber guardian. On
examining tbe document, tbe colonel
found it to be a deed of gift, absolute, of
ber entire niagoinceut estate, to Albert
Hastings, ber inteuded husband. Tbe
colonel pretended much surprise, and re
fused to accept tbe deed, alleging that
such an act might give rise to uupleasaut
criticism.
"Ob, Colonel Hastings ! there can be
no question of mine and tbine between me
and Albert. The deed of gift that trans
fers all my possessions to my future Iius
bin 1 is made out; let it be executed. He
shall then ucver be jealous of his wife's
riches, for sbe will come to him as poor as
a cottage girl, exclaimed Lady btheridgc,
with a pure devotion of love flushing ber
cheek and liiihiinj; her eyes.
After protesting somewhat farther
against such noble generosity, the colouel
allowed himself to be persuaded to accept
the deed, and called iu Cassinove to wit
ness its execution in due form. Tbe poor
secretary could scarcely bold tbe pen
which the colonel banded bim, so great
as bis agitation. LI is employer could
not help remarkiug upon the unusually
poor signature which tbe Italian affixed, as
fitness, to the deed; Out (title dul the colo

e will now return to tbe bridegroom
elect, a bom we left at the Swinburn Arms.
Colonel Uastiues bad scarcely left the
room ere Mr. Albert Hastings arose,
stretched himself wilb a weary jawo, and
began to pace thoughtfully up aud down
ibe fl 'or, murmuring
Men think me a very fortunate and
happy man; and, doubtless, an unusual
number of good gifts have Leeu showered
upon me by the favor of the bliud goddess
not the least among them Would be es
teemed the baud of ibis wealthy young
barouess, my biide expectant. Wei!, we
cannot have everything we want in this
world, else sweet U jse Elmer ouly should
only be the wife of Albert Hastings,
i'oor girl ! she little dreams that the man
who has wooed her. under the name of
William Lovcl, is really Albert Hastings,
be envied bridegroom of tbe high-born
ady htbendge ot itwinburne. It caunot
be helped. 1 canuot pause for lady's
right, or maiden's bonor. Here, then, fur
divided life; my band to tbe lady ol
Swinburne my heart to the lovely cot
tage girl; ouly Lady r.tbendge must
uever kuuw of IJ .se Eiim r and William
Liovel, nor must Uose t in. r know Lady
Etheridge aud Albert Hastiugs. And
now to persuade Kose to go before me in
to Wales, where myself and my lady
bride are to spend our boneymooo."
And so saying, be lock his hat, and
strolled out into the street.
Taking a course opposite to that which
led to Swinburne Castle, Albert Hastings
soon came to a cross country road, wbicb
he followed for some two miles, and then
turning into a by-patb, be went on until
be came to a secluded and lovely cottage.
Opening the door of this elegant retreat
with a latch key, be passed in. It was a
lovely abode, fit for the borne of a fairy.
And for a fairy Albert Hastings bad bad
it furnished. Tbe fairy's name was Rose
Elmer, and she was the daughter of tbe
village laundress. Albert bad accidental
ly met ber on one of bis visits to tbe cas
tle, and, as his soliloquy, given above,
shows, bad fallen desperately in love with
ber; and, under tbe assumed name of
William Lovell, had won the beautiful
and innoceut maideu's heart.
He bad bad the cottage furnished, and
was that morning to meet Rose there,
where they bad so often met, by appoint
ment. Uose came at last ; and as soon as
the first joyous greetings were over, the
intriguing lover set at work to persuade
ber to cousent to a secret marriage ; as be
well knew, by a thousand tests of charac
ter, that be could never gain bis purpose
unless Rose believed herself to be his wife.
His task was a bard one; but be finally
succeeded, by promising that she should
stay with ber mother just the same as long
as sbe lived.
This was not all that Mr. Hastings
wished, but neither logie nor eloquence
could cooviuce or persuade Rose Eiuier to
quick as sun-painting, peruia- aesc" ner. "g moiner; ana upon no
utuur cuuuiliuu iuiu iuh 01 ueiug allowed
to remain with ber would she consent to
the secret marriage.
And, finally, be obtained a promise
from Rose that she would meet him at the
cottage that same night, where, by a pre
vious arrangement, his coufileotial ser
vant, disguised as a clergyman, was to be
in attendance to perform tbe marriage cer
emony. After which, Rose should return
to ber mother, to remain during the few
weeks of his absence in Wales, wbitbcr, be

uam eyes nxcu upon iuiu in royui
graciousncss, as she said
"You are Coloilcl Hastings' secre
tary, I believe, sir. Pray sit down.
You will find the London papers on
that table." Aud, with a graceful
bow, the lady passed him, and seated
herself on a sofa at the extremity of
the room, took up a portfolio, and was
toon deeply engaged with its contents.
After the profound bow with which
he had returned her courtesy, Ferdi
nand Cassinove remained motionless
where she bad left him. Rut ten
minutes had elapsed since she had gli
ded in among the flowers, and passed
litm liko a vision seen in some beau
tiful dream. But ten minutes, and
life, the world, himself, were all chan
ged for Ferdinand Cassinove. He

"J Uml myal-laGkmj lenma.
1j the midt of the pleasing piin
agreed upon, they tuok leave of each otb
er for a few hours, and returned to the
village by different routes. Mr. Hastings
went to bis inn, aud summoned bis confi
dential servant to bis presence. And
Rose Elmer, full of hope and joy, turned
down the street leading to her mother's
cottage.
When Rose entered the house, there
was a smoldering fire in tbe grate, and be
side this fire, in an old arm chair, sat a fe
male, whom no one would have passed
without a second look. She was a woman
of commanding presence. Her form was
tall, and mast once have been finely roun
ded ; but now it was worn thin, almost to
meagreness. Iler features were nolny
ver, was halt covered with a red baudker
cbief, tied beneath ber chin, and partly
fallen in elf locks down one aide of ber
face. A rusty black gown aud shawl com
pleted ber dress.
As the door opened, admitting Rose,
sLe turned quickly in ber chair, fixing ber
eyes with a look of fierce inquiry upon the
iutruder.
"How are you now, mother dear? I
hope you feel in better spirits?" said
Ruse, Lying off ber bonnet, and coming to
the woman a side.
"Better. Where have yon been? I
have wautcd yon.''
"I have been taking a walk through
tbe woods, dear mother ; and see, here are
some wild strawberries I picked fur you
on my return. Will you eat them V said
Rose, offering ber little basket.
"No; I want cone of them. Yon care
little for me.''
"Mother, don't say that. You do not
know bow much I love you."
"Uusb, girl, you havclittlecause oh!"
Aud the woman suddenly struck ber
baud upon ber heart, dropped ber bead
upun ber breast, and seemed convulsed by
some great agouy. Her features worked
frightfully, ber frame shuddered.
"Mother! mother! what is tbe matter?"
exclaimed Rose, throwing ber arms around
the woman in creat alarm.
' It is past," gasped the woman, brea
thing with great difficulty.
"What was it, dear?"
"A spasm. It is gone."
'Ou, mother, will it return ?"
"Perhaps."
"Let me run for a neighbor or tbe doc
tor?" "Nay, you must run somewhere else !
To-morrow, Laura Lady Etheridge of
Swinburne, weds with Albert Hastings,
of Hastings Hall. It is so, is it not ?"
"Surely, dear mother, the village is
full of the wedding, aud talks of nothing
else. Tbe village children have been cm
ployed all day iu bearing flowers to decor
ate the castle church, aud to strew iu tbe
path of the biide as she comes they love
ber so well."
"Yes, she is a high and mighty lady ;
yet, sweet aud gracious as becomes one so
exalted. Come bitber, girl, kneel down
before me, so that I may take your face
between my hands!"
Rose obeyed, and ber mother, bowing
ber own stern, dark face, shut that of the
girl bctweeu ber hands, and gazed upon it
wistfully, critically, murmuring
"fair face, delicate features, complexion
pure as the iuside of a couch shell, white,
and flushed with red; hair like fine yel
low silk, aud eyes blue and clear as those
of infancy; bauds, small and elegant. I
bave not let poverty spoil your beauty,
have I, my child '."
"o, dear mother, you bave let kind
ness more likely spoil me," said Rose, in
simple wonder at her words.
"1 bave not let your person crow coarse
with hard work, bave I, dear?"
"So, mother; notwithstanding that I
ought to bave worked with you, and fur
you."
"lour bands bave never been roughen
ed by helping me in tbe laundry ?"
".No, mother; though they ought to
bave been."
'-Nor bave your sweet eyes been spoiled
by needle-wuik ?"
"No, good mother; I have been as use
less as a fine lady, to my shame."
"And I bave worked bard to save you
from work, and to pay for your schooling,
bave I not?"
"Bear mother, you have! You have
been tbe best mother iu tbe world, and on
ly too good to me. But I will try to re
pay you."
"Think of all that to morrow, child ;
and tchen all the country around thuildert
at my crime, when all the people call down
imprecationt upon my name, do not you
curse oue wbo bas nourished you at ber
bosom, when that bosom is cold in death,"
said tbe woman, solemnly.
"Ob! she is mad! mad!" exclaimed
Rose, in dismay, at bearing these words ;
then lowering ber voice, she said, "Moth
er ! mother! try to collect yourself ! It
is I, your poor daughter Rose, that kneels
before you. Do you not know me 7"
"Ay, I know you well, and I know what
I say," repeated the woman, solemnly.
"Mother! ob, why do you talk so wild
ly? It is very dreadful! But you are
nut well ! let me go for some one."
''Yes; you must go for some one. You
must go to the castle this afternoon," said
the woman iu tbe same tone of deep
gravity.
"Tothecastle! I, mother!" exclaimed
Rose, in surprise.
"Yes, you must go to tbe castle ; and,
when you get there, ask to see her who
calls herself Lady Etheridge."
"Tbe baroness ! Bear mother, why
do your thoughts so run upon tbe baron
ess ? What is she to us ? Besides, is it
likely that sbe will see me, a poor girl, a
perfect stranger, this day of all others,
when she sees no one?"
"Hush, Rose ! and for once obey one
tchom you have to long looked upon as
your mother. It will be tbe last time I
will ask you to do so. Demand to be ad
mitted to tbe presence of the baroness.
Say that yoa bave come upon a matter of
life and death, that nearly concerns ber
ladyship; insist, and she will not venture
to refuse you. When you stand before
Lady Etheridge, say that her old nurse,
Magdalene Elmer "
"Her nurse, mother ! You Lady Eth
eridge's nurse ! I never knew that be
fore !" interrupted Rose, in surprise.
"There are many things that you never
knew, my child. But attend ! Say to
the baroness that Magdaleno Elmer is dy-
