Mr. Rivers was nearly as good as his word
—he was a striet, if not a severe Wailer,
n e ver allowing his pOOl to pass over a sub-
INA or a lesson until it was thoroughly learn
t•
ed and under-tool.
And Hetty's ambition and progress mere
than equalled his exepotations. Indeed he
was obliged to cheek the former, often in
sisting on s lowin g her books for the day, in
the rave ofter earnest entreaties to be al
lowed to gu
As for Hefty she was like one introduced
into another world ; for the first time she
seemed to live. Even more than her les
sons, she enjoyed the lonely rambles she
took with her teacher after they were over.
r llivers was one of those rare men who
had the fueulty of conveying iustruution, in

—.l pr; ed to limn a. she did from his lips,
how much there was to interest and instruct
in objects so familiar to her from earliest
recollection as to be contidered hardly
worthy of notice. fi
At first Mrs. Green looked far from ap
provingly upon this arrangetuent ; but a lit
tie Judicious- arrangement, on the part of
Mr. Rivers, sorm set matters right. Then
nyoin, she was ton shrewd, in rummer, per
taining to her pecuniary interest*, to risk
offending a boarder so profitable as Mr. Div

Contrary to his intention!;, when he came,
Mr. Rivers remained !through all the pleas

trees, heralded the approach of winter
scarcely' acknowledged to himself how dear
hail 'become the task that he had undertak•
en from the most disinterested motives.—
But one day there came, a'letter, summon
ing him away so suddenly that Betty had
scarcely time to realize the nature and ex
tent other loss, when he was gone.
A few days after, Mr. 31altby, the princi-
pal of the academy, called upon Betty, of
lUring her the situation of teacher in the
'primary department' of his school. The,
salary was small, but she had ample time
and opportunity to prosecute her :.tudies in
the higher brandies, and it was gladly ac.
eepttl.
Ir, was not till some weeks after, that Het
ty learned that site owed this opportunity to
the kindly ogices of Mr. Rivers, who was a
personal friend of Mr. Maltby.
Mr. Rivers had told nutty deg ho would
write to her, exacting a promise from her
that she would reply. In the course of a
fortnight the eagerly expected letter came.

opportunity fir the fulfillment of a purpose
that had been long in her thoughts. She
knew nothing of the outward circumstances
of hirers. but hail inferred him to be far
from wealthy. So, in her next letter, she
delicately hinted her ability anti desire to
repay the obligations under which he had
laid her t.sci far a 3 money would enable her
to do it.'
To iletty's great relief, Mr. Rivers reply
Minted t o offimeo at Ibis propo-ition ; but
it was ambiguous. lie °wool 'that he had
looked forward to a certain compensation ;
but of its nature awl extent he would say
nothing until he saw her, as he hoped to in
a few weeks, at her home. Possibly it
might be more than .be would foci able or
willing to give.'
Hefty puasled her brain a good deal over
these words. There was no question as to
her willingness, she thought, and that it
might not exeeed her ability she begat to
economize in every pus:Able way.
Owing to the various untoward circumstan
ces, it was spring before Mr. Rivers redeem
ed his pron.k.
It was eighteen months since they par
ted, and Mr. Rivets was both surprised and
delighted at the change they had wrought.
The pretty intelligent girl had ripened into
the lovely and accomplished women ; but it
did tiut take him loog to ;:e.ertain that to
hint, at tea, he was di, aa.uu flank, lletty
of old.

"I saved nearly the whole of my salary,

"But I ani not in need of money. It is
not your salary that I want."
Ukt . ty raised her eyes inquirinBly to Mr.
Elvers face; but there was something that
made them suddenly droop and the yoke
unsteady, said
"Wliut hen?"
" Ion!"
'r ho blood suddenly reeeded from her fueo

The Fading of Ike Lear.
•Ttes Ma'am I past, the summer is ended "
To the law of nature there is a melan
choly pleasure in wandering forth into the
fields and woods, "when the leaves whirl
round with the wind, arid strew the graves
of the dead," to note the varied and brilliant
tints of the foliage, (which arc only seen to
perfection in the Northern State, and to
listen to the songs, of the few remaining
—"The music of the autumnal winds
Among the faded woods,"
The indolent inhabitant of the tropics
with perpetual summer, knows naught of
the pleasure derived by the observer of na
ture in the North, frotu her variouAehaiwes
of climate and folinge throughout the year.
There i; something unspeakably sad in the
decline and fall of the leaf during the "wit..
son Of mists and mellow fruitfulness," sug
gesting as it does, thoughts of the death of
flowers and fragrant herbs, of the absence
of many, many months of the feathered
tribes, thoughts of the end of the season,
of the year of "the last sad hour," the
fading away of life, the cold and narrow
home appointed for uil the living. Thus
the pleasures of youth fade away as the
flowers, and the verdure of the forest dra
pery, and in the 3Jvaneing years, as with
the mature foliage, we fall into "the war ;
the yellow leaf."
