Spring Garden, York co. Mr. T. J. PATTEnsoN, Doar Sir:—There havc^ Itwas a bright and beautiful autumnal evening. T^ifc oarth was clad in a garb of the richest and hrigheat hues; ond tbo clear eerulinn of the bca- rcns, gave place near thc scttiog sun, to a glowing "safTron color," over which was hung a most mag¬ nificent drapery of crir.ging clouds. Further to¬ warda both tlic Nortb and Soutb, was suspended hero and ihcre a sable curtain, fringed with gold, folded us but ono hand could fold them. They seemed fitting drapery to ahroud the feel of Hnn wbo rideth upon tho wings of (he wind. Such waa thc evening on wbicb Edward Cun- nini;hani conducied his fair bride into the mansion prepared for her reception. But bnd both eartb and Jieaven been docked with tenfold fpU-ndor, tbeir beauty and magnificence would have been lost on bim; for his thoughts, his aflcetions, his whole being were conlred in thc gracefiil creature thnt leaned on his arm, and wbom ho again and ng.iin welcomed to hcr new abode—hcr fulure home. Ho forgot that ho still moved in a world that was groaning under thc pressure of unnum¬ bered evils; forgot thut earthly joy is oft-times but o dream, a fantasy, tlint vanishes like a shadow of a summer cloud, that flits across thc landscape, or, ns tbo morning vapor befiire l!ie rising aun; forgot thut all on tbis side of heaven is ilccting, and cliangcable, and fnlao. In his bride, the object of bis fondest love, hc lelt thai he possessed a treasure whoso smile would bc unclouded sun-sbino to hii soul; whoao soeieiy would make another Edt-n bloom for him. It waa but six short months since bc first saw bcr wlio wae now his wife; and for nenr- ly tbat entire period be had been in a "delirium of love," intent ouly in securing her as his own. Hi bad attained bis object, and life seemed spread .be fl)rc bim—a paradise of dclighl, blooming with roses,unaccompanied by thorns. Joyand sorrow, in this world, dwell side bysidc_ In a stately mansion, two doors only from thc onc thnt hnd jnat reeeived the joylul bridegroom and tho happy bride,,dwell ono who had been fonr weeks a wife. On that same bright evening she was sitting in tbc solllude of her richly furnished chamber, bcr elbows resting on tbc table, herhand supporting hcr bead, while a letter Iny spread be¬ fore bcr, ou which her eyes blinded by tenrs, were riveted. Thc letter was from her husband. Ilo had been from bomc nearly three weeks, in winch timc she had heard from him bul once, nnd then only by a verbal message. Tbc letter that lay be¬ fore hcr bnd just arrived: it waa tbo first that sbe hud ever received from her busbnhd, aud mn thus: Mas. Westdury—Thinking you might possi¬ bly expect to see me at home this week, I write to inforrn you that buaineas will detain mc in Ncw York soine time longer. Yours, (fcc. FitrEDUic Westdury. For a long time thc gentle, thc feoling Julia, in¬ dulged her tours und her grief wilhout restraint. Again, and again, she read thc laconic epistle be¬ fore hcr, lo ascerlain what moro might bc mado of it tban al first met tho eye. But nothing could bo clothed in plainer longuagc, or bc moro easily un- Icrstood. It was ns brief, and as mueh to the point as those iuteresling letlera which debtors sometimes recoive from thoir ereditora, througli tbe agency of great beauty of person, and fascination of man- 'gant establiahment! Mean! ambiti'ma! heartless! ner, who nt onco enslnvcd bis alleetions. But a- j Thou, Maria—bright, beauiiful, and tender—thou gainst Miss Eldon, Judge Westbury had conceived i wouldst iuive married me for myself! Aho, I am 0 prejudice, and for onco in his life was obatinalo | undone! Oli.my fathor!" Under tlic influence of in refusing to indulge bis son in thc wish of bis fccHngs like tliese, hc wrote tlic laconic cpi.stle heart. Ho foresaw, or thought he did ao, the ut- whieh cost his bride so many bitter tcar-i. ter ruin of bis son's happiness, should he so ally j It wa.s at the close of about two .veeks from this, himself. He had selected a wife fiir his son, "a j that Juiia wna Billing ono ovcning in bcr parlor,! daughtcr-in-Iaw for himself, more to hisown taste.

Dul h'.TefVurla lu please were uiicensing. Hor home wns kept in perfect crie might have thought so loo, hnd he known hcr ere his heart wasin possession of another; but be¬ ing pointed out to hiin as ono lo whom hc inu.st transfer bis aireclions, he looked on hcr with aver¬ sion as tbe chief obstacle tolbe realization of his wishes. Julia was born, and had been educated at a place remote from Judge Westbnry's residence; but from her infancy hc bad seen hcr from limc to limc, as busincsa led bim into ihat pnrl of the country in which bor pnrcnts resided. Inhcrcbild- Iiood sbo entwined herself around the heart oftbe Judge; and from that period hc had looked on bor as the fulure wile of Ins aon. Hia views nnd wish¬ es, however, were strictly confined in bis own breast, until .to bis dismay, ho found his a on's af¬ fections entangled. This discovery was no sooner mado than lie wrote a pressing letter to Julia, wbo I wns now an orphan, to come und make bim a visit of a few weeks. The reason hc gave lor inviting her was that bis iicalth was rapidly declining, (which wna indeed loo true,) nnd lie felt that hcr society would be a solace to bia heart. Julia came! she saw Frederic; heard hia enlightcnded conversa. lion; observed his polished manners; remnrked thc lolly tono of his feelingf; and gave the reins to hcr fancy, without conaidting reason or prudence; she loved him. Too lato for her sccuijly, bul loo soon for ber peace, sbe learned that hc loved anotlier. Dreading lest bhe should beiray hor iblly to the ob¬ ject of her unsought aflections, sbo wished imme¬ diately to return to her native place. But to this, Judge Westbury would not listen. Ho soon dis¬ covered thc state of her feelings, ond it gavo him unmingled satisfaetion. It augured well fof tho succesa of Ids dearest earthly hope; and as Ids sirength was rapidly deuliuing, consumplion hav¬ ing fastened his fangs upon iiiing to hasten him lo the grave, he gave his whole mind to the accoin- pliBliiiient ot his design. At first his son listened (o the subjcet with disgusted impatience; but bis feelings softened as ho saw his father sinking lo thc tomb; and, in un unguarded mcnicnl ho prom¬ ised that be would make Julia his wifo. Judgo Westbury noxt exerted himself to oblain a promise from Julia that sbe would accept tho hand of hia son; ami hc rested not until they bad mutually plighted tboir faith at his bcdsidq.- To Frederic, that was a moment of unmingled misery. Ilo aaw that bis father waa dying, and felt bimself con¬ strained to promise his hand to one woman, while bis heart waa in possesion of another. Julia's emotions were of the most conflicting character. To bo tbc plighted bride of tlio man she loved made hcr heart throb ivitli joy, arid her faith in hia father's assurance that she would win his aftbctions,sustained bor hope, thai his predic¬ tion would bc verified. Yet when sho marked tbe countenaiice of her future husband, her heart sank within bcr. She could not flatter herself inlo the belief, that ils unmingled gloom arose solely from thc grief at the approaching denth of bis father. She felt.that she was makinga eacrificc ofhis fond¬ est wishes at the shrino of filial duty. Judgo Westbury diod; and with almost his part¬ ing breath, he pronounced a blessing upon Julia aa hia daughter—tbe wife of hia aou—most Bolomnly repeating hta conviction that she would soon ae- cure tbo heart ofher husband. Immediately on the decease of her friend and father, JuHa returned homo, ant! in tbreo months Frederic followed herto fulfil hie promise. Ho wns wretched, and would have given a world, had be possessed it, to ho free from his engagement. Bul that could never bc. His word had been given to his father, and must hc religeonsly redeemed. *¦!. spnrkliiig oyes and glowing cheeks, .iho sprang for- ! ward,herbnml hnlfc.'ilondod to meet hi.s—bnl bis cer¬ emonious bow, nnd cold good ''evciiiiig, Mrs. West¬ bury," rcf ailed hor recolleclion; and scnrcely able Io reply to hia eivilily, sbo sank baek in her chair. She thought she was prepnred to sec hirn cold and ' distant—though sIio expected it—but she deceived ; herself. Notwithstanding all her bitter ruminations ; on herhusband's indifforoncctownids ber, there had i boon a litllo current of lio|>e playing at the botUmi of hor henrt, nnd telling bcr be might return more cordial than ho went. Hi.s cold snluialion, and cold-. er oye, sent her lo hcr sent, disappointed, sick nt heart, and nearly fniniing. In a iniuulc.howevre, sho rocovered her8cli-poyses-'iion,and made these incpii- ' rios concerning bis health nnd journey that propriety sion of warm admiration, wbile a deepsliadcof melancholy waa cast over his features. Julia's heart beal lumultnoualy. 'Iait the music,'thought she, or the musician tbat thus rivets his attention? Would I knew wbo it is that plays and signs so sweetly!' She did not remain long m doubt. Tbc song finished, all voices were warm in its prnisc; •How delightful Mi^s KIdun plays! nnd with what feelings she sings!' c.Kclaimcd Mrs. Cunning¬ ham. '¦ I never listened tb a sweeter voice!" The blood rushed to Jolia's bead, and back a- gain to herhcart, like a torrent; a vertigo seized her; and all thc objects bofore her, wcrc for a mo¬ menl, an indisiinct whirling mass. But she did not fainl; she did not even betray her feelings, though she took lho first opportunity to leave the room, and obtain a seat.
