' Her mother died:when she was an infant: sheff• was' the only and much indulged child of her 'father, Mr. Lacing. was, at the period wespeak of,- ' . well advanced in years—warrn-hearted and generous, he lacked decision of character, - • and was - extremely irritab!; he was an ac tive business man, thought little - of Ellen's` faults, and certainly did not take especial carer to correct them, when they attracted his notice. When Ellen was eight 'years old he married. His choice was a wise one; the second. Mrs. Laning was every way way - qualified 'to . rear up our heroine 'in the Way she should go;', but there was an. oh. staele - in the *fay, in the injOilicious fond. ness of the father, she was never able fully • to overcome. Ellen improved surprising. ly, but it may be doubted if her temper was in any degree corrected. Mrs. Liming died the year Ellen was „fourteen, at the time when her influence began to be felt, and her kindness appreciated. Mrs. Laning was a widow, the mother of one son, Herbert Montague, at the time of - her marriage. with Ellen's father. She was'of French extraction, had married an Englishman, and removed with him to A merica. The year before her death, a bro. • ther who resided in France asked for her 'boy; oferieg, as he, was old and childless,to adopt him. Mrs, Laning's health always uncertain, and at that time very precarious, induced her to consent ; and Herbert had been sent to France: Our story opens at the period when he. was huurly expected in America. Ellen Laning was in the.large room, used • a library iii herfather's mansion. She was sitting in the cushioned chair appropri ated to him, and her bright face .Was, turned with a musing and thoughtfid 'expres s ion -------- to - Wards - the open window.

Her object was popularity—indeed, she was generall3i liked, here and there might be found. those who had an instinctive dread of her insincerity; who felt thatility could riot trust-her; who almost fancied they saw. the bland smile changing to a sneer, While soli words of flattery yet lingered 'on the ear. She was ,tall, her figure geed, dres sed with taste and elegance, and except that in conVersation she was addicted to•talking more than listening, was agreeable if not interesting.- To marry herself well . , which hitherto she 'had failed to accomplish, was an important object; and certainly it struck her that Herbert Montague was a most de.', sirable match.

Lucy Warrender was commonplace in every respect; remarkable only for devo• Lion to her sister, whom she regarded as something altogether different from common clay. Miss Warretider soon discovered how matters stood Letween the. lovers—it wis discouraging to be sure, but she did - not despair, resolving to "bide her time.", One morning the three ladies were dis- cussing a ball, and preparing sundry little nicknacks for the occasion ; Ellen's dress was every moment•expected_home,and.she was not a little anxious to see it. Herbert was reading and listening,often drawn from his book by the lively prattle going on a. round - him. servanrentered, and-said a small girl was below who wished to see Miss Laning. • "Show her up;" said Ellen, scarcely rais ing her eyes froma trimming sWivas Mete. fully arranging for Mira Wa rrender. • In a few moments a little girl entered, with so anxious a countenance, that it in stantly,attracted Ellen's attention, who said "What is your errand with me, my lit tle girl?' "My mother will not be able to finish your dress, Miss Lming, she is Very sick -indeed' —and- the-child's — tremulous:tonis bore witness to the truth of what she saia.

"I beg ten thousand pardons, my dear love! it was mere curiostty. Ilov beauti ful that necklace is! let me fasten it for you!" Ellen yielded with a very ill grace. She was ihorougly out of temper; angry with herself because she , had suffered her preference for Herbert to become 'manifest to Miss Warrender: and that lady divining the truth, contrived•by her artful. insinun• lions to make matters worse. It is true, if Olen Imilseriously_aslcad-herself-svhat;hrtd been the cause of this quarrel; she would have had difficulty .in defining it exactly; but passionate people seldom reason, they yield to a rush of angry feeling that .distOrts every fact and misinterprets every action into cause of dire Offence. Moreover, the charm was broken—she had been once an gry at Herbert, and forgiven—the fit was on heraga in and the cloud on her brow abated not one ;hit when -she received the pleas. ant greeting of Herbert. He was stexed„, and gave his undivided attention to. Miss Warrender. -That ball," for which Ellen hail so anxiously prepared, which she had looked forward to as a scene of triumph and pleasinri-was - witness to the bitterest sorrow her young heart. had ever known.

We piss over the two weeks that followed, ren dered miserable to both by misunderstand ings and unkind feelings, aggravated it is true by the mischief maker that beset/ their • path. At the end of that time Ellen received a few lines from Herbert requesting her pre sence in the library. She had been' too wretched not to avail herself of the pros pect of reconciliation—her sufferings had not been without profit. Herbert met her sit thedoor, and led her to it SEW — finial& kindly: "We have both been unhappy-, and without just cause; but I-think I see a way that_will end all_difficulttes, if you have firm ness.to hear the truth spoken. Is - it so, len?" Ellen L loolced in the face of ohs so very, very•ctear to her, and her reply was—"say on Herbert, all that is in your heart; 1 will -listen; perclmrice I may profit.by it.
