THE TWO COLLEGE FRIENDS.
EZIMEII2I
Winnington's visits to the manor grew more
constant as the day of his departure drew near.
Early in the morning he passed through the rd.
lags, and entered the dilapidated house and only
issued from it again, accompanied by Ellen. to
pursue their botanical pursuits upon the hills.—
Had he ever told her of any other pursuit in
which he was engaged r Had be gone in a for
mal manner, as recommended in the True Lover's
Guide, to the father, and demanded his permis
si.in to pay his addresses to his daughter? Had
he displayed to that careful gentleman the state
of his affairs, and agreed on the sum to be set
tled during the marriage upon Ellen as pin
money, and as jointure in case of his death .
No, he had never mentioned the state of his
heart to Ellen, or of his affairs to Mr Warleigh.
He Lad spoken, to be sure, a good deal about the
future; his plans when he had taken his degrees;
the very street he should live in when he enter
ed into practice, and.somehow all the,... projects
reference to some one else- Ile never seem
ed to limit the view to himself; but in all his
counaellings about the years to come, he was like
the editor of a newspaper. or the writer of a pon
derous history, and used the dignified "we "--
We shall have such a pretty little drawing-room,
with a great many roves on the paper, a splendid
mirror over the mantle•piece, and a piano, such
a piano: against the wall Who was includiii
in ale We? :kW that was a secret between him
and Ellen: and I am not going to play the spy,
and then let all the world know what I have di
covered It seemed as if the father was inelud, .1
toil; fur there was a charming little risitu laid
aside for a third individual, with a nice low fen
der and a nice pipe laid all nady for him after
dinner, and ti-rue delicious tobacco procured from
a patient of Winnington, a distinguished mer
chant in the Turkey trade, and kept in a beau
tiful bag of blue silk, which Ellen had sewed up
with her own hands, with gold ta%sels, astoni s h.
ing to behold
"And we must have a spare bed-room," be
said; " it needn't be very large fur my sister
she's not very tall yet, and a little crib would
do."

"Bat Duleibel will grow," raid Ellen; "she's
now seven, and by the time she requires tho
room, she will be—who can tell how old she will
b. then, Winnington ?"
I can She will be ten at most "
" I think," said Mr. Warleigh, "you had bet
ter bring her here: we can get -Lie Walters to
patch up another room; and, with a prop or two
under the floor, even the ball-room might be Kite
to occupy
" 0' no, father• the floor is entirely fallen in;
and, besides, the ceiling is just coming down "
"And London is each a noble field for exer
tion," ' said Winnington; "and if i have a cline' )
I will so work and toil, and write and make my
self known, thit I shall be disappointed if I am
not a baronet in ten years---Sir Winnington
Bart "
"A very modern title," said Mr Warlcigb,
‘• which I hope no one I care for will ever con
descend to accept. My ancestors had been knights
of Combe-Warleigh for six hundred years before
Itaroneteies were heard of ; besides, as those
pinchbeck baronies are only given to millionaires,
whore are you to get a fortune sufficient to sup
port the dignity ?"
A sudden flush came to Winnington's face ---
" I could like to owe everything to you, sir ; and,
perhaps—perhaps, there will be enough for any
rank the king can give "
"It strikes mc," said Mr Warleigh, with a
laugh, " you are a great deal more hopeful even
than I was at your time of life Ah! I remem
ber what daydreams we had, Ellen's mother and
I—how we expected to restore the old name, and
build up the old house—"
" I'll do both, sir !" cried Winniogton, stand
ing up "I feel sure there is a way of doings.;
I have thought much over this (e,La week pest,
and before I go I'll prove to you—"
" Whs.! Has a ghost come from the grate
to point out some hidden treasurer'
Winniogton was still atanding'up in the ex
citement of the new idea which fined his heart.
He was just going to reply, whin a sudden crash
alarmed them Ellen sereamed, and fled to Win.
uington for safety. The sound shook the whole
house. At first they thought some of the outer
wall bad tumbled down A cloud of (lust so o n
tilled the room, and nearly blinded them.

you to get out of its way; for it will crush what

The interruption gave Winnington time to
think, and he resolved not to make Mr Warleigh
the Confidant of his hopes That night he took
hiti r leave It was the last night of his naidenee
in the rectory, but he was to return nest short

CHAPTER 111
Arthur laid aside the pen, and covered the
sheet he was writing with blotting paper
"About Ellen, I suppose?" he said; " love in
a cottage, and no money to pay the butcher.--
Go no!"
" It's about Ellen," said Wianington; " it is
about love—a cottage also, probably—but not
about poverty, but wealth, rank, magnificence!"
" Ha! let us hear Yon speak with sense at
las.—you'll give up this penniless fancy—you'll
hate her in a mouth when you find yourself tied
to penury and obscurity."
" But I shan't be tied to penury and obscuri
ty; I tell you she is the greatest heiress in Eng
land, and it is I who will put her in possession
of her wealth. It is this right hand which will
lift up the vail that keeps her treasnrescoocealed!
It is I who will bang pearls about the neck that
would buy a kingdom, end plant the diamonds
of:lndia emong her hair—and all from her own
11 is impossible to describe the effect of this
speech upon the listener. He sat upright upon
his chair; his lips partly open, his face as pale
as ashes, and his eye fixed on the enthusiastic
boy
"And you yuu, dear Arthur, you shall help
me in this—for your German residence gave you
a knowledge of the appotrance of a mineral bed,
you have studied the subject here for I have
watched your experiments I know this estate
is filled with ore; but how to work it, Arthur—
bow to begin—how to smelt—to clear—to east'.
these are the things you must help me in; Ellen
will be grateful and so shall I."
" Shall you? Yon be grateful for what?"
" For your aid in bringing into practical effect
the discovery I have made of the vast mineral
resources with which all Combe-Warleigh is fill
ed You'll help us, Arthur—for Lucy 's sake
for my sake, fur all our sakes: won't you?"
How have you made this discovery?" said
Arthur in a calm voioe.
" Do you remember the night you burned the
broum•plant? I thought nothing of it at the
time, but in the morning when I came down the
old woman was clearing out the grate I stopt
her, and grubbed about among the amber, and
see what I found! a piece of solid metal, perfect
ly fr,e from earth! See, here it is! How lucky
I was to make the discovery! It will make Mr.
Warleigh richer than if his lands were filled with
gold."
The faee of Arthur grew almost black.
" I was of age," he said, "four days ago, and
made an offer to Mr Warleigh's agent for the
manorial rights and heath lands of his estate—
which he is b quid to accept, ter I give the sum
they ask "
"Arthur!" exclaimed Wilmington starting
up; "have you the heart to ruin the right own
t rs of the soil?
By this time they have ..“id it; they am
deep in debt.-
" Ent that .hall not' No; this very moment
I will go back b. the manor and tell Mr War
leigh whit I know; lie will not fulfil the bargain
made by his attorney."
"OW no, you won't," said Arthur, knitting
his brows; I have toiled and struggled fir
many years for thi4, an d you think I will now
submit to beggary and disgrace, to see the wealth
I hive w rk d for, formed into shape, called out
of nothing into glittering existence, heaped upon

"The rightful owner is the tian to whom the
truaqure belongs," said Arthur, not bursting
forth into a fresh explosion, as Winnington ex
pected the moment his speech was uttered.—
"And if the bargain is concluded, the lands are
" Not all:'"
N. I leave them the rich fields, the pas

slope lam modest, and content myself with

old ruin, with a wing in it for his son-in-law;
and the remaining five hundred of my stately
fortune (that a retches should be found so low as
to exit on two thousand pounds!) will erect a

—then," be continued as the picture rose to his
imagination, " the land will grow alive with la

hamlet shivers in solitude upon the wild. There
will be music of a thousand wheels, all disengag

"And Luc)?" again interposed Winnington
"Ay! and Lucy—when 1 have raised the an

not occupy the house with less."
Winnington looked upon his friend with pity.

He should have signed the name in full,"
said Arthur, and laid the letter under his pillow.
"To London—to the attorney—with specimens

spite of his early rising."
There was a smile upon his face, and he got
up in a hurry

" I thought I saw him as I came," she replied

was very like him. -
After breakfast be hurried to the village.
The drunken shoemaker was earning a farther
title to that designation, and was speechless in
bed, with a bandage over his head, which some
one had broken the night before. The motley
Winnington had paid him for carting his lug
gage was answerable for his helpless condition.
There was no other horse or vehicle in the place.
So, moody and diseAntended, Arthur returned,
put a shirt in eatifi . pooket of his coat, and pro-
ceeded on foot to Hawsleigh. He arrived there
at one o'eloek The post wagon had started at
ten. The shoemaker had carefully instructed
the driver to convoy Winnington's luggage to
Exeter, and as he only jogged on at the rate of
four miles an hour, and loitered besides on the
Way, he was not to wait for his passenger, who
would probably walk on a few miles, an d take
his seat when be was tired.

to be relieved more and moss as its kit nearer to'
the object of his jowls". With • knitted brow
and press lips he sat is the chummy cart or walk

at conversation, gave him up to his own refec
tion'.
" A prowl fellow as ever I ors," he nattered,
" and looks like a lord. Well, he shouldn't
travel by a cart if he did't speak to art's com
pare.
The cart's company increased as they got on.
Women with poultry baskets returning from the
neighboring hamlets and farms ; stagy friends of
the proprietor of the vehicle who where on their
way to Oaltfield ; and at last little village child
ren, who bad come out to meet the cart, and
were already kghtiag as to who should have the
privilege of riding the old hose to the water
whets he was taken oat of the shaft.; it was a
caveltade of tea or a dowse pouffe when the
spire of the church came into view. Arthur
still walked beside them, but took no part in the
conversation There seemed something anus
al going on in the main street as they drew near.
There was a crowd of anxious-faced peasantry
opposite the door of the Woodman's Arms ; they
were talking in whispers and espeeting some
one's arrival.
" Have b oa seen him sousing, Luke Waters ?"
said two or three at a time to the carrier.
" Ne--who, then ?"
" The crowner ; be hs' been wit for a hour
and more."
a What'll happened then 1 Woa, horse !"
" Summit bad. He's there !" said a man,
pointing to the upper window of the Inn, and
turning paler than before ; " he was fond in
Parson's meadow—dead--with such a slash !"
The man touched his throat, and was glut-
Arthur began to listen. " Who is it? does
any one know the corpse ?"
" Nos ; he were a stranger, stript naked all to
the drawers—and murdered; but here is the
°miner. He'll explain it all."
The coroner came, a man of business mind,
who seemed no more impressed with the solem
nity of the scene than a butcher in a shop sur
rounded by dead sheep. A jury IMILISUIDIIIOIIOd,
and proceeded up stairs. A few of the bystaad
era were admitted Among others Arthur. He
was dreadfully calm ; evidently by an effort which
concealed his agitation. " I never looked on
death," be said, " and this first experience is
very terrible "
The inquest went 00. Arthur, though is the
room, kept his eyes perfectly closed ; but thro'
shut lids he conjured up to himself the ghastly
..ight, the stark body, the gaping wound. He
thought of hurrying down stairs without waiting
the result, but there was a fascination in the
4e, ne that detained him.
" The corpse was found in this state," said
the eoroner ; " it needs no proof more than the
wounds upon it to show that it was by violence

There was a Ling pause. Each of the speeds,

give no answer to the question. At last Arthur,

" And his name!" said the ooroner. " This

Arthur looked upon the mid brow of the mur

The coroner took the deposition, went thro'
the legal forma, and gave the proper verdict—
" Murdered ; but by some person or pervious un

It was a lawless time, and deeds of violence
were very frequent. SOON years after the per

were scared away by the appromh 'of the post

CTIAPITIt tV
When thirty years had elap, great changes
bad taken place in Combe-Warle sed igh. It was tio
longer a desolate village, straggling in the midst
of an interminable heath, but a populous town—
busy, dirty, and rich. There were many thou
sands of workmen engaged in mining and smelt
log. Furnaces were bluing night and day, and
there were two or three churches and a town
hall. The neighborhood had grown populous as
well as the town ; and a person standing on the
tower of Bir Arthur Ilayning's etude, near the
Warleigh waterfall, could see, at great distances,
over the level expanse, the jutting, of columns
of smoke from many tall cbimnies which be bad
erected on other parts of his estate. He had
stewards and overseers, an army of veers and
wrgoners, and regiments of clerks, aid at in the
great house • and from his richly furnished li
brary com manded, ruled, and organised aIL
Little was known of his early life, for the growth
of a town where a man lives is like the lapse of
years in other places. New people come, old in
habitants die out, or are lost in the crowd ' • and
very recent stems take the enlarged and "aw
ed outline of remote traditions. The data of Sir
Arthur's settlement at Warleigh was as mom.
fain to most of the inhabitants as that of the
siege of Troy. It was only reported that at use
period infinitely distant, he had bought the es-_
tate, had lived the life of a miser--saving, work
ing, heaping up, buying where land was to be
had ; digging down tato the soil,-always by some
incoseeiveable faculty hitting upon the richest
lodes, till be was the owner of uicaloulable ex
tents of country and sole proprietor of the town
and mills of Combs-Warleigh. No one knew if
he had ever been married or not. When fat
the population began to assemble, they saw noth
ing of him but in the strict execution of their
respective duties,• be finding capital and employ
ment, and they otiediiinee and industry. No so
eial intercourse existed between him and any of
his nelohbors : and yet fabulous things were re
ported of the magoilleenee of his rooms, the
quantity of his plate, the number of his domes

bonito, it is always consolatory to their pride to
reflect that the family was as ,old as ever; that
extravagance, politics, tyranny had reduccii it to
that low condition ; sad that, it was left for them
to restore the ancient name to its former glory
and to re-knit in the reign of G-orge or William

field. Lord Warleigh it was stated in one of
the invaluable records of hereditary descent, &for
which subscriptions were respectfully foliated

which became extinct in the nnhappy•wars of
Stephen and Matilda. It is a remarkable fact,
that in a previous edition, when he was only a
barseet, with a reputed income of fifteen or
twenty thousand pounds, the genealogy had
stook at James the First. But whether his an
eestry was so distinguished or not, the fact of his
immense wealth and influence was undoubted
He had for some years the personal superinten•
donee of his works. Instead of extracting dull
ore from the earth, be had rent up dull maulers
to the House of Commons, got dull magistrates

'reign sway and masterdom over all the district,
as if he had been elected dictator with unlimited
power. But there is always—a compensation in
human affairs; and the rualevrktieo natural to
all people of proper spirit lying in the shade of ,
so preponderating a magnate, was considerably
gratified by what was whispered of the deeprest
condition of his lordship's spirits. Even the
clergyman's wife—who was a perfect model of
that exemplary character—looked mysteriously,
and said that his lordship never smiled—that a
housemaid who bad at one time been engaged in
the rectory, had told her extraordinary things
about his lordship's habits; about talks she had
heard—the housemaid—late at night, in his
lordship's library when she—the heueemaid—
was mortally certain there could be no person in
the room but his lordship's self ; how _she—the
housemaid—bad been told- by Thomas the foot
man, that his lordship, when dining quite alone,
frequently spoke as if to some person sitting be
side him; when he—Thomas—had sworn to her
_th e housemaid—that there War, An person what
ever at table with his lordship, no, not the cat;
and then she--the clergyman's wife—added, as
her ,own knowledge, that at church hi* lordship
never listened to the sermon ; but after appar
ently thinking deeply of other thing, hill him
self frour her , observation, and pretended to fall
asleep. How sorry she was to say this, she
needn't remark, for if there was a thing she hat
ed it was tittle-tattle, and she never suffered a
servant to bring her any of the rumors of the
place • it was so unladylike ; and his 1-rdship

all ridiculed the idea;
so I thought I would try
and see what I could do with it. I took home
two bushels, and washed the twigs, and then
strained Ind boiled down the water, whieh made
a pound and a quarter of sugar. Since that time
most of the town have been at work. Some fam

good vinegar as I ever saw. I averaged about
eighty pounds per day, with two three gallon

Although the quantity of sugar made from
