OR FIRST AND SECOND LOVE. " Your village, dear aunt, is certainly a most picturesque and beautiful place," said George Murray, a young collegian, to his. aunt, with whom he was spending a vacation. It was a bright summer morn, and George had loitered into the breakfast room to have a chut with aunt Mary. The little village of B., was situated in a most picturesque portion of our northern Stales. George had always redded far south, and the mountainous, beautiful scenery of his aunt'.-, northern home, united to the high Mate of cul tivation and air of comfort spread over the mi- merous surrounding farms, caused from Him constant expressions admiration. Ho stood at the window ,of his breakfast room gazing- on the beautiful view before, him. All at once, he exclaimed, " come here, dear aunt, who is this beautiful girl ? I met her yesterday ;is I war. riding ; .-he is now coming through tho grove toward the back part of the. House." "That is little Ally Ray, a great favorite with us. She is the village .shoemaker's daughter, and a good, nice, industrious little girl is she." " A shoemaker1;. daughter !" cried the south ern bred youth, "you are jesting, dearest aunt Mary, surely." "Not at all," said his ami!, laughing merrily at his manner. "She is most truly the daugh- ter of Job Ra, and a most excellent shoema.- ker he is, but your aristocratic notions are quite shocked, are they not, dear George ? Is the not pretty, therci she has stopped. -to caress Carlo ; see. that little plump hand iind well rounded arm ;he delicate little fool apd ankle. Father Job has fitted the foot pretty well, if ihe bhoc is heavy ; and her form is pretty so nice ly proportioned. The morning breeze has blown down some little rebellious curls from the comb with which she so carefully confines them sec them ' slrealing,' as Irish Mary says, from under the bonnet, and thai rosy cheek, eorge, and bright eve. Foolish fellow ! ,1 suppose you limtk a tmoemakcrs daughter should be coarse, rough and uncouth. Why Ally or Alice, as .is her real name is as gen tle as a town bred girl, and infinitely belter bred, for kindness and love ha vo. nurtured. her. She is a notable little house woman likewise, for her mother died f-ome years past, and her poor father is an invalid. She takes care of the little garden, which produces most of-their simple food, and your uncle sends one of the farm men once in a while to guc, as they say, 'little Ally a-lift.' Job is able at times'to work at his trade, and his work is so well dotio that it meets with a ready sale ; that money blip's the few things economical 'little Ally and her father heed. That plump liitle hand scrubs, washes, bakes and sews. She is a notable in dustrious liiile body. Arid she is not ignorant either ; during the winter sheVitieuds the1 "coun try school, and as I visit the city, I know well that' the most acceptable present I can bring to Ally will be some addition Io her little collec tiim of books. She does' a -great deal of sew iiig for me also. But I 'must not stop here chattering. Ally has cotrie to bring home some work undoubtedly, arid Riisu's new Sunday dre's's' patlern came' from (he storekeeper's yes terday, and Ally must make it quickly.. Come! Rose." Arid the lively, JigHf hearted Mrs. Mills hastened from the ' room. The youth leaned against the window long after the pret ty Alice had disappeared,' and ihpri 'suddenly recalling his tlioughts'.Mie ordered 'h'isMitir.e and galloped OtT on his morning rule. x .,'.-!' Two months passed by, and the couirry sur rounding 13 w-as even more beautiful than ii had been during the summer. A sdight frost had touched the foliage, giving ii a rich autum nal hue. George Murray and Alice R;iy were j wandering in the woods together. The boy lover gazed with passionate earnestness on the innocent face of the lovely child, while her bright eyes were cast down, that he might not see the tears that dimmed her violet beauty. Tney were on tho eve of parting. The next day and he would be far from her. His guar; dian had resolved that he should finish his stu dfa at a German uniierity, and years must intervene before they could-again meet possi bly nerer. " Yuu must always love me, dearest," ir.ur-J mured the youth, "believe me always true ; in a few years 1 shall bo master of mv owii ac lions, then I will return to claim my litllo Alice for mv wife. Remember, my own one, that you belong to me. Ah, Alice, do not, do not forget me." The poor child, overcome with the thoughts of tlieir separation wepl bitterly, and he soothed her grief with assurances of their happy future. She gazed with fad pleasure at the little locket which he had purchased for her, and which contained some of his hair, while he -claimed one Ijnle curl in return, and bent over her to choose the silky lock the sun was at its set ting, and its rays shot through the trees, shed ding a golden light upon the lovers was it a beam of hope as a type of the future? He left his country with saddened feelings but looked toward the future with the bright eye of youthful expectation. Me never dream ed of how differeit'ly he and poor Ally might be situated towards each other in a few years. What sympathy and companionship could exist between the high bred, finished man of the world, that years' residence abroad might make the now impetuous youth, and lowly Ally Ray. Poor Ally ! one would almost pray that she might soon forget him but no, her early train ing had strengthened her in confidence and truth ; she had never met with insincerity. Brought up in the quiet village, her pious soul never dreamed of change or falsehood hers was not a najure to forget. The first letter George received from his aunt Mary told him of poor Job Ray's danger ous illness.; he was near dying when she wrote, and Ai'y's uncle, who lived in the. 'far west,' was lo come on for her, in case of her father's ! fJeatli. -. ' father wishes she should go. with her uncle.". Poor. George wis almost frantic at the news, j and w.Lcn ho he.trd again. from B. Ally's father was dead, and she, poor girl, had left with her uncle, for htr new home in the then wild west. He ceold gain uncertain information as lo Al ly's residence. She had promised to let aunt Mary know, when shn waV setlled, but if she wrote, the letter must have been lost,, for they never heard from her. ,. Many changes took place before George Murray returned: from Europe. - Sweet aunt Mary was dead, and whe'n he visited B., on his return to this country, he found many things to sigh-over. Uticle Miils had supplied his gen lie, thrifty wifes ptaco wilh another spouse a stately dignified maiden lady ho had wooed and brought lb his home. . Tho village had much increased. A large hotel had sprung up where father Jolr'a sweet little- -cottage had stood. Scarcely a spot remained as in thoso happy days When he and Ally wandered through tho forest. .. .":,. Toi do hinijuiic, he still remained unchang ed in his' love for Ally; it'wtls irue that he e'x p'ecte'd to find her far distant from him in point of mental. culture, bui then, ho comforted him self with the anticipation of taking her lo a lovely Italian home, and by patient love lessons soon making her a suitable companion. But no Alice1 was to be found ; tho villagers had even forgotten her, and ho left the place wilh deeper, -hearior sadness than' he had years 'be fore. Then hope danced merrily before him now the future contained no anticipation of a sweet wifk, Alice and homo happiness. His uncle, who had been his guardian, was a bach elor, and resided on a largo plantation at the south. He and his nephew were much attach ed to each other, and -to his homo did George repair, and so readily did ho fall into the soli tary habits of his uncle's bachelor life, there seemed little possibiliiy of his heart ever own ing another love but who will answer even for their own constancy " I wisli you would marry, George," said his : uncle one day after dinner.

"I will tell all," ho murmured to himself "she may refuse me, but she shall know that there can be. a wild, devoted second love."

George dwelt on the fervency of his love for Aily-.-he described with manly sincerity her girlish beauty, and confessed nobly his deep affections for even her memory the maiden blushed, and tears1 trembled in her bright eves as he 'dwelt on the sad years after they parted. "But why did you riot write to her?" said she, in low tones, as she bent over a fragrant plant.

But wc will leave our hero and heroine io enjoy their delir ium of love, w htlo wc explain in sober language how the liule. Ally Ray was thus ; metamor phosed into lhe brilliant Mary Morion. Her uncle had become a distinguished man. The eastern and northern states send many such men as Eldred Morion out into the far West, to seek their fortunes, and tho habits of self de pendence they are taught, make them strong in the strife and struggle of life. Ally Ray's name at her christening had been Mary Alice. Uncle Eldred loved better to call her Mary, for ihe only daughter he ever had, and who died in her childhood, had been named Mary, after Alice's mother, his only sister. Many forgot at last that Ally was not his only daughter, and the old man wished that tho world should thiiik her his child. Through his indulgence and core she had every opportunity of education. Keen natural abilities, united lo the earnest do- aire of fitting herself a an equal bride fir George when they should meet, utcomplinhed much; and at five-and-lwenty the brilliant Mary iMorton would never hare been taken for tho modest, gentle little Ally Ray.
