THE ESTEAIIGED  HEARTS. A TALE OF MARRIED LIFE.
BY CLAKA MORETON, CHAPTER  1.
¦ The precociouii germs of vanity and of iho love of pleaaure choke tho precious but raore tardy .-ooda of devoted affections. In tho midst of tbc bustle oftho world, marriage'IldclC does not produce the effeot it abould. Maternity arrives scarcely desired, and seems sometimes only tho forced interruption to many pleasures. We boiieve thnt such unuatu- ral feelings do not last; but what a loss of hapi>y moments, and what hopes of future wisdom are thus in dancer of being thrown to lho wmds !

«ANDyouare really expecting lo go. Maggie?'
•To bo sure I am,- you tlidn't for a moment thiok that I ^vas going to be such a fool as to stay at home, did you V waa the unrefltied and hasty answer.
Howard Dorrance'a proud lip curled, as he replied,
*I confess tbat I have been so foolish as to think that you would for once yield your wishes to mine. You know very well bow much I dis¬ approve of fancy parties, Mrs. Dorrance, and bad you any regard for me and my opinions, you would have spared me the pain of reques¬ ting you to desist from any farther preparations, for I ahalt not accompany you.'
Margaret Dorrance's eyes flashed, but looking up at her husband, she met a glance as resolute as her own. She had never yet openly defied him ; and there was something now in that stern unaworving gaze, which checked the words that were already trembling on ber lips. With a violent effort, she suppressed the passionate emotions of the heart, and answered, with a calmness that surprised herself still more than her husband,
•Very well, sir, it will be as you say, of course.*
There was a Ion- pause. Mr. Dorrance had not met the opposition tbat be expected, and his heart was softened by the compliance which he never for a momeni doubted that bis wife Uad given to bis request. He moved bis chair nearer to her, and his deep low voice expressed much tenderness, as be said,
'I wish, Margaret, that we were better suited to each other.'
*I wish we were,* she answered, laconically.
For a momeni, he was chilled; but influen¬ ced by the kind and gentle thoughts that now held their sway in bis bosom, be continued,
'Were I convinced that it would eventually bring you true happiness, ray wife, to indulge in the gaiety fur wbicb you have so mucb incli¬ nation, I would not seek to deprive you ofany portion of it. I would,for your sake, renounce tbe home pleasures in which I alone find enjoy¬ ment ; but Margaret, such constant dissipation as your tastes would lead you into, would not only deprive you of that greaiest blessing wbich God can give—the blessing of health—but your moral naiure would becomo blighted, and the best affections of your heart would wither in the glare and heat of fashionable life. I bave seen bnt too often the effects which it produces, and I would shield the wife of my bosom from them. Will you not, love, place your hand in mine as on our wedding-night, and promise again to love, honour, and obey V
For a moment, but only for a moment, had MargaretDorrance relented. That unfortunate word'obey,' again aroused the evil within, which her husband's earnest tones had so nearly quelled.
She drew the bond he essayed to clasp rudely from him.
*You preach well,'she said, 'but no eloquence can disguise to me your motives. Remember, Howard Dorrance, you arc ten years older than myself, and, consequently, you have bad ten more years of gaiety. I married you at sixteen —foolish school-girl that I was, to throw away liberty and happiness with a breath—now, at twenty, you would immure me, nun-like, if you could ; but I insist upon six more years of ex¬ perience. Perhaps by that time, the world'a pleasures will pall witb me, as they have with yon, and then I will stay at faome and abuso them to your heart's content; but now, you ask too much oC me-'
A wintry coldness settled on Mr. Dorrance's faoe, as he listened to his wife's unkind and heartless answer.
* You spoke of my motives, Margaret,* he aaid,' as thongh they were other than I profess¬ ed ; what did you mean by that V
' Wby, plainly this, if you will have me ex¬ pose them.     It is your jealousy of me, and of the attention which I receive, and the admira¬ tion wbich is paid me at parties, which makes you so selfishly desire to keep me from them.' 'Margaret ." ' What ?' There was no answer, and she continued,
* Don't look at me in that way, I beg of you. if you have anything to say, say it out.'
* Margaret! yoa cannot mean what you say ; Jealousy .' Selfishness ! Ii was for your happi¬ ness full as much as my own, tbat I have so earnestly sought to give you a distaste for the amusements of fashionable life. I see that my love, my happiness is nothing lo you ; every¬ thing is to be sacrificed on the shrine of vanity. Ah, Margaret, rf you were foolish in throwing away your liberty while still a school-girl, I was doubly so in committing my happiness in the hands of one.'
' I agree with you entirely, Mr. Dorrance; and I wonder that you ever thought of me, when that prim old maid. Miss Helen Gra¬ ham, Was so exactly suited to you, and came ! near dying for you, every one said, Sbe was the very one for you, for sbe detests parties as much as you can, and is always preaching to rae about domestic happiness, and such fol-de- roI._ Tt is a piiy that you didn't fancy her, isn't it?'
Mr. Dorrance's face reddened. He turned away, and paced the room hurriedly.
His wife continued,' They say that before I came home from school, you were very atten¬ tive to her; now, seriously, don't you think she was better suited to you than I ?'
Mr. Dorrance paused beside his wife, and meeting her up-turned gaze, he anawered calm¬ ly.
* Yes, Margaret, I do.'
Noihing daunted by the serious tone in which this was said, and fully convinced that there bad never been any idol savo herself on the throne of her husband's heart, and that at aay moment she could resume her power, she con- tinued ber bandinage.
' And now, if you had only taken compas- aion on her, and married ber^'
' I wish to God I had ." broke from Mr. Dor¬ rance's lips i and bia wife read truly in hia now aad, pale face, that with no idle meaning had those words been rung from his heart.
Ina moment she was subdued; she spoke no more tauntingly, for the feelings which ten.
and ahe doubleah9t'be would again; bot pride
kept bet frbm seeking him. * She bad educed emotion* from his breast, which the dust of Tima could never bury from her aight j and daily, tba knowledge of them grew more and more bitter to her. In assumed levity, ahe die- guised the workios* °^ ^^^ ^^"^i ^""^ ***^ studied coldness with which her husband treat¬ ed her, convinced her but the mora fully that she bad forfeited the love, wbich, when ahe possessed, she bad valued too lightly.
At Jengih she ceased to reproach herself.— If sho had done wrong in not studying hei hus¬ band's happiness more, aha had in othsr res¬ pects done better by bim, than he by her; sbe had giren him a whole heart in exchange for a divided one. Thoa thinking, sbe determined upon a course of conduct that abould awaken in him the jealousy be had disclaimed.
If be bas one spark of love left for me, he shall know what jealousy is,* she thought, as, on the evening of the fancy party, ber maid ar¬ ranged h«r in the beooming Spanish dress she bad selected.
Her long tresses, which were of a glossy pur¬ plish black. Were folded over high up on ber head, and fastened wilh an immense and ele¬ gantly carved comb of the rarest shell. Her velvet dress was relieved by a fail of floe Iace around her exquisitely turned throat, and fas¬ tened with a singlo ruby. Jewels glttiered on her arms and her fi.ngers, and radiantly beauti¬ ful she looked, as, standing before the Psyche- glass, she directed her maid in arranging the heavy black Iace veil, which, resting on her head, fell in careless folds almost to her feet.
But Mrs. Dorrance was apparently dissatis¬ fied, for she glanced from her mirror to the toi¬ let-table, where a profusion of ornaments was scattered in open caskets and caaes. Har eyes fell upon ber superb bouquet; seizing it, she tore out a crimsom juponica, and removing the jewel which had looped back the veil from her face, she replaced it with the flower.
Jl was all that was needed. Her diess was now perfect, and wonderfully becoming.
Witb^her large dark eyes, and their heavy sweeping fringe, and her rich, bat transparent¬ ly clear complexion, she well represented the nation whose costume sha had chosen.
A carriage rattled over the stones, and drew up in front of their mansion.
Mrs. Dorrance parted the curtains, and glanced out. She saw a young man alight, and ascend the steps.
Mt is all right, Matty,' said sbe ; ' throw my cloak around me, and tell Mr. Dorrance when he comes home not to wait up for me.'
* Mr. Dorrance is in the library, marm; he camo in before the clock siruck nine.*
* Very well; I will pass ihrough as I go oul; and,Matty,you will sit up for me. I would rath¬ er have you than Richard. You know you can sit with the children after the other servants liave gone to bed.'
Matty yawned; and after her mistress left the room, abe muttered to herself of the hard¬ ship it was to work all day and sit up all night; but when she went into the room adjoining, whero the children were sleeping, the frown upon her face was chased away by a smile, for she loved thc dear little ones fondly. Draw¬ ing a low chair near lho couch, she leaned her head upon a pillow, and was soon sleeping as soundly as they.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Dorrance descended to the library, and paused beside the door. Her heart beat quickly; she trembled at the thought of bearing her husband's displeasure, yet she dared not leave the house without his knowl¬ edge. Summoning all her courage, sbe enter¬ ed lhe room.
* I am sorry that you are not going with me ibis evening, Howard, bat I looked in to say that you need feel no anxiety about rae ; your friend Graham, is my courtier.' Her tones were kind ; but there was an air of embarrass¬ ment unusual lo her, that showed her conscience was not perfectly at ease.
Mr. Dorrance looked sternly upon bis wife as he answered ' I did not expect this. You told mo you would not go to-night.*
No, I did not. I said from the first tbat I should positively go. You said yott would not accompany me, and I answered you that of course that would be as you said.'
' Yon misled me in that answer, Mrs. Dor¬ rance, and I presume, intentionally.'
Her face crimsoned; but her husband con tinued,
' I tbink you will live to regret ihe step you have taken to-night; I shall not molest you hereafter.'
Closing the door impatiently, she swept from the room witboui answering.
He heard lhe sound of their merry voices, as laughing and chatting they passed out—the carriage rallied off, and Howard Dorrance leaned back in his chair, and in SDlitude and ailence brooded over the bitter emotions of his heart.
The present tortured him ; the future,—he dared not imagine that; and so he fell to think ing of the past.
What was there in that to bring a deeper gloom to his brow—a deeper sadness to his eyes ?
There were memories of wrong and injus¬ tice which hc had done another—a most cruel wrong. I
From that sin was be now gathering its blighted fruit.
Heavier and heavier sank his heart within him, as he recalled, step by step, the infalua¬ tion which had lured him on to break his vows tothe noble-minded being wbom he first bad ' wooed. His breast heaved tremulously, and' his strong frame shivered with the storm of thought that swept through bim.
' Yes, yes,' he muttered, as he rose, and with a heavy step paced tho floor, ' yes, yes, I de¬ serve it all .'My punishment is just! How gladly wouid I now exchange the wild and passionate worship whicb I bore Margaret, for thecalmlove that once beat wiihinmy heart for anoiher.    But it is too late ! too late!'
Hti paused beside a crayon sketch of his wife which hung upon the wall; and now his lip quivered with tenderness as he continued,
* Ah, Margaret, how carefully would 1 have guarded you from unhappinesa \ how fondly would I have cherished you through all trials and kll changes !—God grant you may never need the love which you have sacrificed to your vanity,
He gazed long upon it, noting the faultless oval of her face—the perfect regularity of her classical features—the fascinating expression of her full hazel eyes, and murmuring, ^ She is beautiful P he turned away.
And now bis heart grew cold and dead with¬ in bim, as he recalled the temptations to wbich she would be exposed, in tbe alienation that must neceasarily follow the course of conduct she bad chosen to pursue.
He thought of the homage which ahe would command from the world-tbe flattery which sbe would receive, and which no ^oni&n can liaten to without inhaling its taint; ard the re¬ flection smote upon his heart, that bia wife> now only frivolous and thoughtless, might be¬ como—oh, it wat too borrible to imagine !
Ho resolved that be would make one more effort to save her frora that vortex of fashion and folly, which too often plagues in shame and degradation those who have madly trusted to its whirl.   He wonld plead with her for the

Frora that night, Margaret Dorrance harbor¬ ed a new gnest in her bosom—from that night ahe felt in her heart tho truth of this Scripture passage,' Love is atrong as death ; jealouay is cruel as tbe grave ; the coala ihereof are coals ol fire, wbich hath a most vehement flame.*
CKAPTEE 11.
Frivolous and heartless as Margaret Dor¬ rance may have appeared in the preceding chapter, she was not wholly so. Gladly would ihe have thrown ber arms around her hua¬ band's neck, acknowledging to hira tbat of all tbo unkind things sho had said in anger, she bad not meant one; could she bave been aure thsthe, with truihfubiBSB, could have said the tuns.
Oftcti htd ha forgotten har impuUiv» words.
smother the conviction that beneath all her frivolity nnd worldliness, there smouldered a fiame which might yet spring up to warmth and beauiy.
Almost unconsciously, ashe thought of hi. children, be turned hi, steps to their room. He opened their door. A night-lamp burned dimly upon tbe mantel, but ita raya were atrong enough to reveal to him the sleeping babes upon the couch. Babes they still were ¦ for little Harry, the eldest, was scarce three years old, and Ida'a aecond summer was but now approaching.
Mr. Dorrance bent over them, tracing in his boy*8 flno countenance the features of hia wifo wbilo lightly around tbo plump and dimpled face of baby Ida, fell carls that would have matched his own in b(^hood.
Al ba lookad upon thim, ffl bisatifal in
tioned whether, all his worda might'not prove powerless, when oiren 'the profound joyS of. maternity,'liad failed to give bis wife a fond-1 ness for home pleasures.
And now, unfortunately, another ohange | oame over him.
'I wiU not atop to plead,' he said. 'luj marrying, sbe assumed the duties of a wife i and mother. I will hereafter be responsible for her fulfilling them properly. My name ahall not be disgraced, nor shell thesa children receive a heritage of shame. I have tried kindness in vain, and will now see whata husband's authority can accomplish.'
In this mood, he reiurned to the library; he drew his chair up to his writing-tesk, and un¬ locking a drawer, lifted from it, ona by one, ihe^souvenirs of tho past,«ihat long bad laio there hidden and undisturbed.
There were packages of letters, sketches of heads, unfinish id landscapes, and beneath all lay a garland of gay-coloured autumn leaves. The scrap of paper which labelled it, boro the words, ' From Helen, Egerton woods, Oct. 18th.'
Befure him rose the noble old forest where he first bad met ono whose tastes and inclina¬ tions exactly accorded with his own. He re¬ called the graceful flow of her conversation, the innate digniiy of her manners, the loveli¬ ness cjC her truthful countenance, as first it impressed itself upon him tben; and, more than all the well balanced mind, and the ma¬ ture judgement, which had afterwarda heeh developed to bim, as day after day he lingered by her side. He felt the flush that moanied to bis temples, as in contradistinction to such a being another vision rose before him,—that of the petted, spoiled, vain beauty, who bad left her home that night, little dreaming how dangerous would prove the solitude to her hus¬ band.
Arousing from this revery, he opened a fold¬ ed paper. It contained a pale-blue withered flower, and a sprig of myrtle-leaf, and the words, in his own hand-writing, ' Woodlawn, May 20th, Helen.'
Ay, be remembered that evening well; and this emblem of constancy, how it smote him now! 'Forget-me-not!' the fiower spoke as plainly as words could have done, and bis heart answered,' By those hours of tenderness, those days of joy, thou art not forgotten ! Oh, Mar¬ garet, save me from ibese memories !'
And now, unfolding a sheet of tissve paper, he lified from it a long tress of sofi brown hair, which fell from his fingers in spiral curls as he gazed upon it. There was no writing within. He needed none, for bis eyes filled with lears as he looked upon it. Carefully he refolded and closed the paper, almost reverentially be pressed the package to bis lips, and then, with a deep sigh, he leaned his head npon his hands, and mused for hours.
Tbe clock siruck one—two—still his wife came not, and with impatience added to dis¬ pleasure, be went down into the parlours, and for anoiher weary bour paced the Jong rooms to and fro. Not a sound fell upon his cutj save the low ticking of the French clock in the boudoir, and, now and then, the distant rumb- ing of carriages.
He stood in the centre of the suite of rooms, and looked around bim. This home that be had fitted up so luxuriously for his young bride the drawing-room, with its gorgeous carpet of woven roses, its lofty windows, curtained with satin and heavily-wrought lace, its antique and richly-carved fuuiiuro, and all th^'exqui- site ornaments thatart could furnish, or wealth buy—lhe music-room, with its splendid instru¬ ment, ils rare old paintings, and its marble stat¬ uary—the little boudoir for her own ospecia! use, with its windows of stained glass and rose-coloured drapery, its languor-inviting- lonuges, and its mirror-lined walls—why could ¦ sbe not be satisfied wilh sucb precincts to live , for him, eren as be hoped tb live for her 7
He pressed his hand to his head ; it was throbbing painfully, and bot with fever. Draw¬ ing aside tbe curtains of one of the front win. dows, wbich extended lo the floor, he raised it, I slid back the boll of ihe Venitian shutters, and stepped out upon the balcony. I
The cool air refreshed hira; and now he heard the whirl of an approaching carriage. Nearer and nearer it came, and hastily closing the shutters, and dropping the window, he stood listening.
Oo, on tbe crriage rolled stopping beside thc door, and now there was a quick-ring, which Mr. Dorrance answered io person. It was well he did, for Matty's slumber was unbroken. He held tbe door open, standing in the shade of it, so that he was not observed. He heard Mr. Graham say lo his wife, in a low familiar tone,
'Iam glad, ray dear Mrs. Dorrance, thai you have resolved to appear more frequently in tho socieiy which you so adorn. Will you hereafter honor tne with any oommands that you may have? for, I can assure you, that 1 am but too happy to be entirely at your ser¬ vice.'
Mr. Dorrance did nol wait for his wife's re¬ ply, but stepping forward in the ligbt, he met lhem face to face. He forgot his usual courte¬ sy, his studied self.possession,as, drawing his wife's hand rudely from lhe nrm on which it rested, he said,
' I will excuse you, Mr. Graham from all fu¬ ture attentions towards ray wife; she will not go into society hereafter, without my protec¬ tion.'
It was so sudden, so unexpected, that bolh stood speechless. The next moment, Mr. Dor¬ rance had closed the door upon Mr. Graham, wiihout even exchanging the civilities of part¬ ing. And now his wife's dark eyes flashed vehe¬ mently, as breaking from his grasp, ahe enter¬ ed lhe drawing room, and threw herself upon a velvtt fauteuil. Her small foot beat the rich carpet nervously, and the soft colour of ber cheeks deepened, until they glowed like the heart of the crimson rose which her while fin¬ gers were fiercely tearing to pieces.
As her husband followed, she turned her head disdainfully from him. Each time lbat he es¬ sayed to speak, she answered him with scorn¬ ful taunting words, until at length stung to madneas, be seized her arm, burying bis uails in the flesh.
'Good God, Margaret! will you have no ihercy upon me 7 do you not see that you are making a fiend of me ?*
She did not scream although her arm quiv ered with pain ; she did not seek to shake him off as before; she rather exulted in the idea that he had added personal violence to the mortification he had inflicted upon her, by his ungentlemanly treatment ofMr. Graham,so ahe smiled coldly, and answered, mockingly,
'Your evil passions, air, have converted yoH into the fiend which you allow you aro, and whioh I cannot dispute—no, nor even doubt,' she added, as glancing at her arm, which he had now released, she saw a drop of blood trickling down its polished surface. Around it sbe wound her fine cambric hatidkerchief, and rising, would have left the room.
Mr. Dorrance atood between har and tbe door.
* Margaret, you maddened me,* he said. * I did not know that 1 was ao violent—listen to me—we must have an understanding.*
' I underatand you now thoroughly,' she an- swersd ; • let me pass
* No, I will not. You must first promise me that-
'Must I* hissed Margaret, 'must! I shall Aomise yoa nothing.* Then subduing herself, she added, wilh more dignity, ' When you are over your passion, nnd can treat me properly, I will listen to you—not before.' |
* You will Hsien to me nov>,' swd Mr. Dor¬ rance determinedly, and clasping her hands, he beld tbem firmly between his own.
' I will not; listen to one word. Let me go; let me go, Howard Dorrance. I will not bear Ihis. You are a brute ! I bate yon! Ob, heav¬ ens ! I wish I never had married,' and, ex¬ hausted by the effort she had made to free her¬ self, she sank back upon the fauteail, and
burat
into a hysterical flt of weeping.
Bat her tears were not salatary. They arose from wounded pride, from mortified vanity, from ew,. at ^^^^, ^ ^^^ i^„ j^„.
barld, subdued by tbero into n calmer state, sat do wri near her and tried to soothe her,' abo wa¬ ved him.ftom. her with her band, sotbiug out, < Go away, go away. 1 wiah I were dead, and then I'sbould be out of reach of your tyr¬ anny.'
Mr. Dorrance answered not a word, hut] went straight from the room to hia chamber, j And nowjlbrowingberselfacross tbe fauteuil, Margaret buried her face in its soft cushions,' and, for a few moments, gave way to the most violent.emotions. There were no self-accusa¬ tions mingled with her bitter upbraidings of ber busbcnd's conduct. She was lho injured one, and she resolved tbat her husband should confesss it, and sue for pardon before she would restore hira xo favor. What had she done? Nothing. But he"! no words were— sufficient lo express the measure of his con¬ demnation. A noise startled her. She looked up. Her comb bad fallen from her bead, hearing wilh it tbo heavy veil, and now her rich black tresses fell in masses over her opera cloak, contrasting strongly wilh iis snowy whiteness. She flung back her hair from her temples, which were throbbing painfully ; she pressed'her small jewelled hands over lhem, and rising slowly, while bfer cloak fell to her feei, she caught the reflection of lier symmet¬ rical and richly robed form in the mirror oppo¬ site. Fascinated by ber own wild, gleaming beauiy, she drew nearer, crushing, as she did so, ber fallen bouquet.
Alas I thus destructively was- she trampling down her life's flowers.
' Me !' she said, still looking on her image in the glass. 'Isit possible that Howard Dor¬ rance has treated me so shamefully ? How many times before I was his wife did he prom ise to study only my wishes; and now because I persevered in the accomplishment of otie de¬ sire, he has venied his passion thus insultingly npon me 1 paid no regard to my feelings even before another; adding abuse to insult !* and she glanced down upon her aim.
The sound wbich bad before startled her, was repeated. A wmdow-shuiier creaked ; it might havebeen the wind ; but lerrifled, she stole from the room, across the hall and into the library back. The light was still burning there, and the first thing her eyes fell upon wa'i the open drawer, whicb her husband had for¬ goiten to close. She lifted the gay wreath, and read the name and date. It dropped from her ireu.bUng hands, and hurriedly sbe looked through the other mementoes. Once she ihought to tear open a package of letters, but she dared not do that; the ribbon tbat fastened them was sealed. At length sho camo to the long cbesnut hair, and now her face blanched, and her lips grew pallid. Wrenching it apart sbe woold bave thrown it upon the coals ; but the expression of her countenance changed, smile of triumph fiiiied from her eyes, and she replaced it carefully in the paper; asshe did so, sbe looked towards the door. If was ajar, and tbe blood crept ohjllily ihrough her, from head to foot, as ahe met Edward Graham's eyes bent upon her. With his finger upon his lips, he approached her wilh noiseless foot' steps.
' Do not be frigbtened. I will explain to you in n moment how I came here. There, sil down ; you will beill; you look so now, with your white face and pale lips. My dear Mrs. Dorrance, let me tell you how 1 worship you, thnt Imay have some excuse for intruding upun you as I' have done.'
Margaret's voico was hoarse as she answer¬ ed,
' No, you must tell me nothing ; what would he say, if he were to find you here ? Go—go, I beg of you.   I tremble to think of it.'
'I will go, if my absenco will relieve you any. Oh, Margaret, if I dared to plead wiih you logo with me! Why will you stay to sub- ject yourself to such treatment as I have wit¬ nessed ibis night? Dear Margarei, will you not let roe proiect yqa from hira ?*
Mrs. Dorrance's mind was pre-occupied. She evidently did not understand his meaning^ for she answered calmly,
You are very kind. I am sorry lbat you have shared his anger with me ; but you must excuse bim for my sake. I never saw him so rude befoie. As for me, I could have forgiv¬ en and forgotten ail, had itnot been for this,' and she pointed to the table ; ' see there, Mr. Graham, he does not love me ! he never has ; there lay the hoarded mementoes of a deeper love. Tell me, for you raust know, was my husband ever your  sister's professed lover ?'
Edward Graham's ihin lips were compressed tightly, and his gray eyes glittered wilh a steel like brilliancy, as he answered,
'Yes, Mr. Dorrance, when he firstaaw you, hewas Helen's heirothcd.'
'I will be revenged upou him,* she said quickly, wbile her eyes fiashed with tbeir fire.
A half-suppressed smile wreathed Grdbam'a lips as she spoke; and when sbe arose, and taking a pair of scissors from a work-basket near, and approaching him, asked permission to cul a lock of hair from his heud,die could not restrain the exultant glow which lit up his fea¬ tures.
She laid the hair idly upon the table, as she would had it been a feather or a scentless flow¬ er, and then he saw that, in his eager baste, he had gleaned hope for the advancement of his purpose, where there had heen none for him.
I must beg you as the friend of my husband,' here Graham's eyes resumed their steel-like glittering, but the unconscious Margaret con¬ tinued, ' not to expose our happiness. I know not how much you have seen, nor how you saw it, for I thought the door closed upon you, as I came into the house.'
I will explain to you,' interrupted Graham. ' When your husband shut me out so rudely, I observed that one of the drawing-room shutters had been but slightly closed, and still remained unfastened. I sent tbe hackman off, and, sta¬ tioning myself upon the balcony, I watched, fearing ihat Howard might have been to some club-meeting, and returned under the influence of wine, and that you might suffer from his vi¬ olence. I could not account for the change in his manners any othor way. I saw all, and af¬ ter he had left tha room, I would have come to you, but at each attempt to open the shutter wider, I saw that I alarmed you. When you went out into the hall, I crept carefully and quickly in, and divining that you had gone to the library, I followed yon. You know the rest.'
' How imprudent !'• was the exclamation that escaped Margaret's lips.
A frown darkened Graham's brow. ' I am nothing to you, Mrs. Dorrance,' he said impa¬ tiently ; ' you do not even seem to consider me a friend.'
' How can you say so, Mr. Graham V and she extended her haud. ' I have always thought well of you ; but you must see how imprudent you have been to-night—what a po¬ sition you have placed me in if my husband should appear now. I wish he would though I I wish be would !' she added eagerly, ' I would not explain one word tn him ; he should suffer what be deserves to suffer ! *
' Tbought well of me I' repeated Edward Graham, ' you bave ihought well of mo, you say; Margaret Dorrance, if your_wbole heart was freighted with love for another, if his voice was the only music that your ears cared lo liS' ten tOj bis smile your ooly sunlight, would you be satisfied that that one abould only tbink well of you in reiurn ?'
Mrs. Dorrance's" large eyea first dilated with surprise, tben dropped beneath tbe steady and burning gaze tbat met her own.
* Mr. Graham,' abe aaid, * I am a wife, and I cannot listen to such words ; I beg you to leave raa now. Had I ever dreamed that your kind¬ ness to mo arose from other feelings tban those of friendship, 1 should never hava met it as I always have.'
He did not turn bis eyes from her, as he ans¬ wered,
' Yes, you are a wife—an unloved wife tbese papers bespeak you—your own heart tella you that it is so. Margaret, listen to rae ; you said but now that yon would have revenge—you canuot love one who ao' tyrannizes over you, while his heart ia devoted to anothet—you can- hot love—' ' I do, I do loTi him,* broka ;oat Mri» Dor¬
rance,'I love him bijt too well; bat,bo' ihall never know \i; I wi(t convince him, to ^be con- uary,' and ahe aighed heavily ns she tbought A|t"by that evening's condnot, and by liiitV _ iJlRh'' and haaiy words, abe bad already, pels hapB, too well convinced bim. .    ',''
Sbe crossed tbe library to the door, aud open-' ing it, said,
' I would have you go this moment;' and aa . he approached, she added, 'ifyou ever wish' mo to consider you in the ligbt pf a friend | again, do not apeak aooiberwoid to me of love. 1 will bury the past wiihin my own bosom, and trust you will give me the snmo promise.'
He did not answer; but he raised her band: to bis lips, and in another moment left, cursing ' in his bean the precipitate hasto which would ! now place her upon her guard„towards bim— ¦ The front door swung to ^feeavily after him j and Mrs. Dorrance went down to the drawing- room, and bolted the shutters, which she tbought Richard bad so carelessly left unfasten- ed.
And now falling back ujiou the same fau¬ teuil where she bod tlirown herself an hour be¬ fore in such a slorin of passion, she gave her¬ self np to refleclion. She saw the dangers to which she bad exptaed herself, and siie no longer wondered that her husband would have ' shielded her from the world and its temptations. | And now, her consciousness once awakened ' from Its slumber, failed not to accuse her of her errors. The veil was stripped away which self- love had thrown over all, and humbled at the ¦ sight, she would bave gono to her husband with penitent confessions, had it not been for lhe frelics of iho past which the open drawer had revealed lo her.
I cannot doubt that he has loved me,* she said 10 herself, as she recalled many "incidents of their married lifeV'I.cannot doubt il, and: it is /who have driven him back to memories of his firsf love. But ho wronged me in:^conceal ing that from me ; had I known his heart had once been anoiher*3,jl3honld bavorbeen m6re"|: careful of it; but I ^^ too coi^gnt of my own power. Now, i!||3^^puld telMiim ibat I had done wrong, that I-^wijuy errors, how he would exult over me, always holding up his first love as a sort of bug.bear lo frighten me into submission. No, he shall not do that. I will adhere to my first purpose ; he shall think tbat I too have mementoes.*
So fostering a spirii of revenge, she put out the lights, and went back to the  library.
Taking a sli^J of paper from her own writing desk, she wrote upon it, 'Edward. Midnight. Atnor et cotistantia,' Then enclosing the lock of hair which she had severed from Graham's head, sbe laid it in her unlocked drawer.
.She went up to ber children'a bed-chamber, and, after awakening Many, she stole softly into her own room for her night dresa. What was hersurpriso to find her husband slill up, when she had supposed him asleep Jong ago.— Ha was standing beside the mantel, and his face was as white and rigid as tbe marble up¬ on which he leaned. Her heart accused her; but she would not listen to its better promptings ' He is the one to make tho first concessions,' she said to herself, bul sbe wailed in vain for them. .Ho saw her gather her things togeiher and leave the room, wiihout making the slight¬ est moiion 10 detain her.
Therewas no sleep for either tbat night; boih were conscious of error ; each imagined the other guiliy of a wrong.
Howard Dorrance had been aroused from the revery in which he had indulged, after leaving his wife, by hearing the shutting of the front door. Hastening to the window, fearing that his wifo, in her impetuosity, was fleeing from him, he had seen Edward Graham leave the house. Struck with sarprise, and supposing, of course, that his wife must have admitted him, he had loriured himself wiih suspicions, until his brain was in a whirl.
Thus were two bt-arts, each fondly loving the other, (one from tha-fuuhs of oUujiarion, incap-1 able of raaking t\xe aacrifters which lovo re¬ quired—the other, forgetting to make allow¬ ances for the tendency of ihat education,) now still farther separated by a whirlpool of pride, jealousy, and passion.

L<ife Insurance.
In calling the uttention of our reailers to lhe subject of Life Insurance, we are assured thai wa could uot devuie our columns to one more in¬ teresting or calculated to produce more benefits to the community in its practical results. The uncertainty of the duration of human life needs no labored arguments to mako it appa¬ rent to every ihoughlful and observing man, and the daily observation of every one iJlus_ trates the scenes of distress, privations and des-. litution to which families are reduced by being deprived by death of their protectors and heads. All this can be avoided, or provided against, by every individual, by a simple and easy act of the will, directed to a prudent regard for those depending on his exertions for a support, It'iajMndeed, to be wondered at, that head's of familiej^^ho appear to love and cherish those Wbose -Mix, infancy or infirmities may have been cpn'fided to their charge, and who must feelias'sured that if rfsafS^sbouid intervene to deprive them of the power of protection thus afforded, a future of desiitutionV privations and suffering must ensue, do not feel it to be a duty —o:xao\l,^acred duty—to guard against such an unhappy contingency. The annual amonnt of money required to be paid lo an insurance company for a policy on a life, would scarcely he estimated eby one individual in a hundred and the most trifiing expenditure, to supply lhe daily luxury of even a elgar, would be ample to secure a family against ibe deplorable con- sequencoa alluded to. Men of all professions, occupations and employment of daily life, are especially interested in laying these views to heart, and by a timely act of providential care for those depending on their exerlions for sup¬ port, to secure ibem against the fatal conse¬ quences depicted.

n:^ * The man ihat don't take the papers, 1 was in CirclevUle a few daya ago, as we Iearn : from lho Herald of that place, whicli paper i says, he brought his whole family in a two- horse wagon. He thought lhe "New Consii¬ tution" hatl been aiio|>iod, anri was rejoicing because no more railroiida, turnpike? or bridges could be buih. He stJU believed Gen, Taylor was' President,  and  wanted   to  know  if ilie
* Camschatkians' had taken Cuba, and if so, where they bad taken ir. He had sold his corn for 25 cents—(tho price beingSl)—but upon going to deposit the money they told him it Was mosily counterfeit, the on!y genuine bills being on ih,9 late ' Bank of CircleviUe.' The only bard money he had was aome three cent piecea, and thoae some sharper had 'run on him' for half dimes ! Hia old lady amoked a 'cob pipe' and would not believe that anylhing else cuuld be uaed. Ona of the boys -went to a blackamith's shop to be measured for apair of shoes, and another mistook the market house for a chnrch. After lianging his hat on a meat hook, ho piously look a seat on a bntcher'a stall, and listened lo an auctioneer whom he took to be a proaclter. He left before ' maeiin' was out,' and liad nn great opinion of the * sar- mint.* One of tlia girls took a lot of ' seed en- ions* to the post office to trade them for a let¬ ter.   She had a baby which she carried in a
* sugar trough,' stopping at times to rock it on tho sidewalk. When it cried, she stuffed its mouth with an old sock and aang ' Barbara Allen.* The oldest boy had sold two 'coon akins' and was on a ' bust.' When last seen he had called for a glass of ' sody and water,' and soaking ginger bread and making rye faces. The shop keeper mistaking his meaning, had given him a mixture of sal-soda and water, and it lasted strongly of aoap. Bm *he'd beam tcll of sody and water, and waa bound to give it a fair trial, puke or no puke.' Some ' lown feller'came in and called for lemonade with a
* fly ;n it,'whereupon our 'soaped' friend turned his hack and quietly wiped several flies inio his drink.
We approached tho old gentleman and tried to get him to ' subsoribe,' but he would not lis¬ ten to it. He was opposed Io ' infernal im¬ provements,' and he thought ' iarnin, was a werry wicked invention, and culiiwaied noih- hut wanity and wexaiioh.' None of his family learned to read but one boy, and he teached school awhile and then went to stu¬ dying wirginity.
Love.—How bright and beauiiful is love in its hour of purity and innocence—how myste¬ riously does it eiherealize every feeling, and concentrate every wild and bewildering inpulse of the heart. Love, holy and mysterious love —it is the garland spring of life—the dream of the heart—the impassioned poelry of naiure— its song is heard in the rude and unvisited soli¬ tude of the far foresi, and thc thronged haunts of busy life—it embetliahes with its fiames the unpretending cot of the peasant and tho gorg¬ eous palace of the monarch—flashes its holy gleam of light upon the measured track of the lonely wanderer—hovers about ihe imperiled barque of the storm bealen mariner—enfeebles the darkly bending wing of ihe muttering tem¬ pest, and imparts additional splendor to the beacon that burns on the "far-disiont shore."
Love! is the mystic and imseen spell thai harmonizes and "soothes unbidden" the wild and rugged tendencies of human naiure—that' lingers about the sanctity of tho domestic heanU —the worfhipned deity of th-^ penetralia, andl ,_, unites in firmer union the aiTeciions of social^ ^ and religious society, gathers verdant freshness : ¦» around the guarded cradle of helpless infancy, and steals in moonh"ght darkness upon the yielding heart of despairing age—it hushes into reposing calmness the chafed and bruised nnd unresisting spirit of'sorrow, and bears it from the existing and anticipated evils of life, to its own bright and sheltering bower of repose— transforms into a generous devoiion tho exac¬ ting desires of vulgar interest and sordid ava¬ rice, and melis into a learful compassion the ice of insensibiliiy.
The image which holy and undecuying love has once portraiuired on the deep shrine of the heart, will not vanish like lineaments which childhood's fingers in idle moments may have traced upon the sand—that image will remain there unbroken and unmarked—it will burn on nndefaced iu its lustre, amid the quick rush of the winds and the warring of the tempeat' cloud—and when the wavering * alar of our fate seems declining,' the bowed ond bewilder¬ ed spirit, like the trembling dove of the patri¬ arch, Will meet its homo and its refugo in thai hallowed fano where love presides aa high priestess of its sanctuary and consecrates to unbending truth the. off'ered vows of her voia- ries.-.B7i^wer.

i.or if .Moulded on both idded. just according to thc
Charactee.—There is nothing ao valuable to a youug man as a good character. In pov¬ erty, it is his wealth, in adversity his consola¬ tion, and in whatavec condition of life he may fird himaelf it is aure to draw around him friends lo cheer and comfort him. But it is in poverty, more particularly, that a good charac- lar demands iha reapect and admiration of all beholders. Whatever may be the inconveni- encies of poverty, it is no disgrace. A young man*3 character is of vastly more importance tban bis purse. A donsciousneas of uprjgbt- nesa iu all the dealings and transactions of life, is of far greater value to itsj'possesflor than all lhe hordes of mammon. Though clothed in raga and despised, the beggar, if conscious of his integrity, has a greaier peace of conscience, and is more happy than those who * clothe themselves In fine linen and fare aumpttiously every day.^

The Jug with the Bottom out.—In one of Dr. Tyng's travels he had met with an emi¬ grant journeying Wllh his family to the fertile regions beyond tlie Misaiusippi, He had all his worldly gooda packed on wagona, and on one wagon there hung a huge jug wilh ibe bottom knocked out. He asked hiin why he carried that with him. "Why," said he, "that's my Taylor jug." "And what isa Taylor jug?'' asked my friend. "Why," aaid he, " I had a aon with Gen. Taylor's army in Mexico, and the old General always lold him to carry bis whisky jug with a hole in the bottom; and since that I have carried my jug as you seo it; and I find it ia the best inven¬ tion I ever met wiih."
Don't GeumAk.—Hc is afooi that grumbles at every Jittle mischance. Put the best foot forward ia an old and good maxim. Don't run about and tell acquaintances tbat you have been unfortunate; peoplo do not like to have nnforiunate mon for acquaintances. Add to a vigorous determination a cheerful spirit; if re¬ verses come, bear them like a philosopher, and get rid of them as aoon aa you can. Poverty ib like a panther; look it steadily in the face, and it will turn from you.
Awn What Next ?—A gentleman riding, i near the city, overtook a young man, and in¬ vited him to a seat in hi: carriage.
* And what,' said the genUeman to the young siranger, * are your plans for the fu¬ ture V
* I am a clerk,' replied the yonng man,' and my hope is to succeed, and to get into business for myself.'
* And what next V said the genlleman.
* Why, I intend to marry and set up an es¬ tablishment of my own,' said the youth.'
« And wbat next V
' Why, to continue in business and  accumu¬ late wealth.* ' And what next?'
* To retire from businesa, and enjoy the fruits of my labors,'
And what'next V
*It is the lot of alt to die, andl of course cannot escape,' replied the young man.
* And what next ?' once more aaked the gen¬ tleman ; but the young man had no answer to make—ho had no purposes that reached beyond the present.—Bxc.
D^ Some old bachelor tbus describes matri¬ monial travelling : «If you see a gentleman and a lady tn the same coach, in profound sil¬ ence, the one looking out at one aide and the other the other sitJe, never imagina they'mean any harm lo one another; they are already honestly married-*
Carrying politeness to excess is said to be raising your bat to bow to a young lady in lhe stroet, and allowing a couple of diny collars and a pair of socks to fall out upon the side¬ walk.
