This singular freak, as it was considered by
her fit'mily, was continued by Margaret for more
than year, during which she withdrew herself
fromieompany as much as it was possible for
l?er tj do, and appeared to take more delight
in drestic employment than in fashionable,
i r )leagre-taking. -
MIK Crouk was troubled ; he saw in thin
•;
evidences of a vulgar mind, indications of a per-
Vertea and grovelling taste.
n a bs the time passed on, and Amanda's
wedtitng-day approached. But Margaret re
pulsed all suitors—actually refusing to see
young men who had at any time made even the
smallest advances.
Mia Orouk had a clerk in his establishment
name Jutikin, whom he had raised from a boy,
and in whom he reposed the utmost confidence.
udkin possessed good abilities, a - fine person,
easy #anners, and that air of confidence about
Lim lvhich we sometimes see in young men
pito (eel their own force of character, and mean
tniike use of the ability they possess to force
thenliway in the world against all opposition.

to where Mr. Crook was sitting at his desk,
and Misled the privilege of a few word 4 with

Judkin warmly expmed his thanks,. and
M. Crook as warmlyi wished him a favorable

4 1'hat evening, Margaret not appearing at

not 'well; • Amanda said that she had gone,

l'replied _Amanda.
" She's been out late". ,it ' s been dirk for an
hour," remarked th ' fa ther. m
.. •
The.other also *pressed concern onise
count of her daright ,'s absence. .
• The tee hour wenti.by, and yet Margaret did
e ,
not return. .Mr. , Crouk ' began to feel uneasy.
IThe siugulir Interview he had held with his
clerk suggested the fear , that some one, hope
, less of gainig his consent,. might run off with
' Margaret, as Judkin- was about running off
:with the daughter Of some one unknown to
him. This fear cawed him to think of Mar
' garet's inexplicable „conduct in some things,
and thoughts of this gave new life to his fears.
As soon as he was alone with his wife ho sug
gested to her what ' was in his mind, but she
treated it lightly. Stiff Mr. Crouk felt troub
led, and he walked abnut uneasily,. listening '
for ttivinging of the street-door bell; lint no 1
` all ruug, and no daughter returned. Ten o- ,
clock came, and she is yet 'absent. Hail ! I
-.there is a ring. The waiter goes to the door.
The permits listen—the father with almost
breathless interest. The door is opened—they
hear the sound of a man's voice—it is immedi
ately closed again. The waiter returns - along
the hall alone, opens the parlor door,and,hands'
in two letters, one for Mr. Crouk and one for
his wife. We will .only give the contents of,
the former. It wnsas follows:
i" Uses Sea—Although you did not advise
me in so many words to run away with the
young lady of whom I spoke to you to-day,l
yet the measure met: your approval, and;in do-1
ing what I have since done I have acted' wit 1
the consciousness that '1 had your entire sane 1
ti*n. without which I should have hardly fel
atilibertyto take so important a step. Tb
sweet girl I have loved so long is mibe. la. 1
the happiest of men? I may now tell you th
lady's name—it is Margaret Crouk. ' In
week I will be at my post again. In th
meantime, let me leg of you not to lot the fa
ther of the young lady prejudice your min
against one who loves ber so truly, and who
ready to make any sacrifice to secure her ha
piness. We do not eipect soon, if ever, to I
forgiven by him;- but even that great cost we
have calculated:, Margaret has long iaccus-.
tamed herself to ' do, without the costly luau
' ries of ornament and dress, in view-Of this
change in her circiunitances.
_She knows my
ability; and become' my wife, prepared toilet
all her wants and wishes conform thereto: She
has writtento her •lmother her own thoughts
and feelings on the 'occasion. She will forgive
her I Mn sure, and lean but hope that, through
her loving influence, the father's heart may be
softened towards his child. - . ..

that many years have elapsed, IS it was at the

gentle being, wilka sweet smile-,.i. voice Soft
and cheerful when the.praised nie„and vilien I
erred—for - I wail a wild thoughtless child;—
there was' a trembling earnestness- about it,
that always went to; my little heare,;„ Methinks
I can now see her large blue eyes„ umist with
sorrow, because 'of my !childish waywardness,
and hear her repeat, "My child hccer can you

she spoke of dying; and pressed me to her bo

gone,• and to love my father a great deal, for
he wotdd lava none also to cove. !I
I recollect she was ill all d#, id mi littleho i •y horse arid whip (were laid •••• side,'and 1

In the morning I rusliedi. to. my mother'
room, with a strange dread of evil' to come 'up
on me. It was just as I feared.'. There was
the white lined over the straight) cold lied. I
tore it aside. . , • • !
There was the hard. cheek, the closed eye,
the stony broi. But, thank God, my ; moth
er's dear, dead smile,, was 604 also; or 'my
heart would have broken. '
'ln an: instant, all the little faiths, fdr which
she had ,so often reproved me, rushed npoo my
mind. I longed, to tell her how
. goed I Would
always be if she would but stay with Me.
I longed to tell herhow, in all time to come,
her words would be law to me. I would be all'
that she had prayed ine to be.
, I was a passionate, head-strong boy, but ,
never did this frame of temper come upon me;
but I seemed to see her mild, tearful eyes, fall
upon me, just as shelooked in life ; , and when
I strove for the mastery, lelt her-smiles sink
into my heart s 'rand I was ppy.

My whole otetracter derwent a change,

I never forgot mother'e 'last kiss.' It
lwas with, me in Borrew; it was. with Ms in ,
