[CONCLUPED FRO.M OUR LAST.] CHAl-TER IV. We will take a brief retrospect of liio last two ycurs in tho lifa of Crayford. Upon a pleasant summer evening, two gen¬ tlemen, mounted on fine, spirited steeds, came gayly cantering down the gentle slope of a hill, and nurosa the rustic bridge which formed the entrance lo a small village in tho interior of IVnii.'fylvariiiijjiist as a party of merry millc- inaiils were reiurning the same wny fr"m ibe green pastures beyond. The road, or ralher lan.^, wns here rjiiiie narrow, und observing lbe rapid approach of the equestrians, lbe girls bastify Mopping asidu into the deep grass, stood Slill for Ibem pass by. Instead of doing so, bow.'ver, tbey slackeiicil their pace, and one of them reigning in bis steed, gazed imperiinenily i.ilu ili« blushinii faces nf liio village girls. ' By beaviMis !' lie exclaimed, in a low voice 10 bis companion, * what a pair uf eyes that lillle wiieb has in ibo blue penicoal—and u'bat a ^hai-e .' look at ber, Hastings,' , The damsel ilius pointed out could not bave bi'en more tban sixteen. In face and f.irin a perfect Hebe, wilb a most superb pair of Iniigli- Illg black eyes, shaded by long curbug tasbes. Uer little aun-boimet was llirown oil", but rested luosfly upon ber shoulders; her bair, wbicb was as block and brilliani ns ber oy^s, was cut short to her beautiful neck, nnd clusiereil in ligltt iinglets over ber finely formed head, upon the top of wiiich ,'iat her pail of foaming milk. Witb one band she hehl it lighlly poised, while Ibe otber rested upon ber bip, in un atiiinde mosi graceful and picturesque. Her petticoat wusof dark-blue bombazet, set od" by a white muslin sliort-gown reaching balf way to the knees, where it was Jinished with a narrow .frilling—a dress still in vojiio among thc farm¬ ers' daughters both in Pennsylvania and New England—and a very pretty dress it is, too. Her little feet were bare, biding ihemselves modeslly in the tall grass. * The girl is an angel—a perfect divinity V replied Hastings, after a rude stare at the yoting maid, * What a sensalion sbe would make—Eb, Crayford !' * I sny, Hastings,* added ihe oilier, wiih a devilish leer, * it will be worth our whde to stay bere a day or two—what say you?' To tbis Hflsiiiigs returned n significant wink, which was responded to by tbe oilier in the same way. Dnring tbese remnrks they bad rode siowly on, but novi- suddenly wheeling his borse, Cray¬ ford onco more approached the little group, and lifting liis bat, bowed most gracefully as be said, * Can you tell tne, fair maidens, whero my frieud and myself may bo so foriiinale as lo find a night's lodging.'' We arc somewhat fatigued with a long day's ride, and would fain rest our weary limb?, as also our jaded steeds. Can you direct us, then, to some public house in your village?' A sprightly blue-eyed girl, delighted to bc of service to tbe polite stranger, stepped quickly forward, and said, while her cheeks grew reil- der and redder, and her eyes rounded with every word; * O, yes, sir, lhere is a good tavern at lhe otlier end of the village, snd here is Etfie Day, slic lives there, you know, for ilis her grandfa- Iber wbo kee|)s the bonse ; here, ElHe, you will show tho guuileman ibc way, wont yon Eftie?* * By all the saints, how lucky!' whispered Crayford, to bis friend—Eilie proving lo be no other ihan the identical maiden who had so eiiarmed liim. Springing from his borse, and ibrowing th(« reins to Hastings with a meaning glance, Cray¬ ford lifted tho pail from the head of the blush¬ ing girl, and begged tbe privilege of assisting bur wilh ber bnrden, while she aeted as bis guide to the inn. Tlie girls all laughed merrily at this, bnt Eilic, blushing siill'decper, drew ber run-bonnet closely over ber face, and tripped lightly bn beforo bini, so fieetly, too, whether from bashfutness or iniscbief, tbut ber gallanl could scarcely keep pace with ber twinkling feet. On reaching the inn, bis fair guide sud¬ denly disappeared, leaving Crayford to dispose of tbe milk-pail as be could, to the no small de¬ light of Hastings, wbo highly enjoyed the evi¬ dent discomfiture of his frieiid. The old landlord welcomed the strangers heartily, and gave tbem the best rooms his liouse could boost, and soon placed before them an excellent supper. But what gave it its true zest was tbe aitendance of the pretty milk-maid —and a more lovely cup bearer never served lhe gods. Poor Effic Day was but an infani when bolh her parents were taken from her by death, and no other home had she ever known than the roof of her kind old grandfather. With a ten¬ derness far exceeding that which they had fett for their own children did her grandparents re¬ gard her,, and in pity for her orphan slate in¬ dulged ber in every wisb which it was in their power to grant. As sbe grew up her beauiy and vivacity was their pride, and uo theme could sooner rench their hearis than the praises of their darling Efiie. She was brought np in all the simplicity of coumry life; a circuit of ten miles the botmdary of her hlile world, ond from books her knoweledge was scarcly more. Yet the birds which sang at her window, or the lambs with whom slie skipped in the meadows, were not more gay or bapjiy than was tho old innkeeper's bright darling child, when like the serpent in Paradise, Crayford came. He fonnd tlie honest oid coiipla and thc artless Eflii^ of tbe very sort whom liia cunning could most oasIJy dupe, and with skill wltich wontj not have disgraced a demon, set about bis fiendish work—for most cogent reasons of his own dis¬ guising his name under that of Belmont, while his worthy coadjutor assitmeti-luat of Jervis. Feigning to be charmed with the locality of Ihis little town, tbey made known their inten¬ tion of passing several week? in ita vicinity. But why enter into the details of a plot such ns should call down the avenging bolt of heaven, i Sufiice il, alas ! to say, that sin and villany irl- I iimphed, and as pure a child as ever the fint'er of God rested upon, was enticed from her home, from her poor old doting grandparents. Under a solemn promise of marriage the un-1 foctunato Efiie eloped with her base betrayer. ' Upon reaching Pbiladelpbia, lbe form of mar¬ riage was gono through with by a convenient priest, and the sacrifico ofinnoccsco compleled. For some monihs, but for the memory of tbe aged couple, in tho silent shades of her naiive valley, she was ,15 happy as a young confiding wife could be in the love, nay, adoration ofher husband. The lodgings Crayford rented were in an obscure part of the cily, and furnished most meagerly for the taste of ono accustomed to fashionablo display, yet Efiie, who had nev¬ er seen any thing more grand than tho parson's parlor at home, thought even a queen could not bo more sumptuously lodged, and she was very sure could not bo more happy. Poor, poor Effie ! This devotion on the part of Crayford con¬ tinued while his humor lasted—no longer; nor did one gleam of pity for the nnfortunate girl lead him to wear the mask only ns long as suit¬ ed his own pleasure. The heart sickens to dwell upon the anguish of poor Effie, thus abandoned by one for whom she had sacrificed all—one so friendless, so forlorn, so young and so beaulifui. The woman with whom she lodged allowed her to remain under her roof until sho hnd slrip- pfd her of the little she possessed—of her cloth¬ ing, nnd the few ornamonts Crayford had given her; then, when no more was to bc gained, she thrust her forth into the streets lo die, or live by a fate worse than death-! Alas ! that in a world so fair as this, such ihings xeally are, needing no aid from fancy to to portray their atrociousnoss. All day did tho poor girl wander through the- busy crowd, gazing piteously into the faces of the mullilude, and if by chance one moro kindly tlian others bent an eye iipon her, she would ask them for Belmont. But no one could tell her aught. And then night came—dark, deso¬ late night. On, from street to «treet passed the unTonunate, shrinking from the rude stare, and still ruder speech of brutes caUing them¬ selves men; no one offering a shelter to the houseless wanderer, and even her own sex meet¬ ing her appeals witb coarse, unfeeling laugh- ier.-«- .,,..:-¦ . .. \ .

Then arose before her, floating iire qpon the heaving mws of waters, on which her eyes were fixed, that peaceful valley, wilh lhe green bills sweeping around it, and the rustic dwellings ofher playmates aud friends looking out upon her beseechingly from their pleasant shades aa she stood tbera in her loneli¬ ness; and as a far-off symphony of sweet .-iounds came floating by, the glad voices which Naturo bad sang to ber in childhood. Poor EiHe Day|! what pleasant memories were crowded into those few brief moments. * Belmont f she shrieked, suddenly starnng from that far-ofi" dream, 'Belmont, may God forgive yon the deed I am about to do !' Then falling on her knees, sbe clasped her trembling hands, murmuring a prayer for par¬ don and mercy. Now casting one long, shud¬ dering look upon tbe cold, dark liver, she was about to plunge therein, when astorng arm was thrown around her and she was forcibly drawn hack severa? (eel frotn tho vorge on which she had slood poised, * Wretched girl, what would you do !' said a voice in her car. Siie-heard no more, for a faintness came over lier, aud but for lhe arm siill arouud her, she would havo fallen insensible to the ground. When she recovmed, she found herself npon a bed in a small neat apartment. A womnn of mild countenance was leaiung over her, chafing her hands and temples, and atthe foot of the bed stood a gentleman dres.sed in deep mourn¬ ing, wilh his full, dark eyes fixed upon ber with pity und kindness. ' Poor child!' she heard tho woman say, just as she opened her eyes ; < I'll warrant some of these eay gallanis have broken her heart!— BIffs iWr, she is coming to—lhere, there darling, Itow <loes thee feel now V lint ere poor Eifie could reply, the gentleman placed his finger on bis lips, as if to caution her from st«akiug, then preiiaring somo soothing anodyne, hc bade the woman administer it as quickly as I'ossibic, and promising to he back at au early hour in the morning, took leave, Wben tbe morning came, however, the unfor¬ tunate girl was nwiug in all the delirinm of fiiVer, which for weeks bafiled medical skill. Vuuih at length triumphed over disease, arid sbe was once more able to leave ber bed. Dnring this time she bad made known at inter¬ vals, her snd history to tbe good woman cf the house, and lhe benevolent slranger who bnd snatched ber from a watery grave. Every where the latter sought to discover the perfidious Belmont, nnd on pursuing his inquiries for thc grandparent of the wreiched girl, be learned ihat grief at the desertion of Iheir child, had broken the old people's hearts ; first the father, ihen the niother, had boen borne to their long homes. A distant relative had seized upon the littlo homc3lead,and already n flaunting sign usurped the head of good old Penn, which for more than half a century had smiled benignly down upon travelers. Efiie begged to remain with Mrs. Wing, who kep; a small thread and needle store in Lane, near the river ; and the kind woman felt so much pity for her lonely, unpioicctei situa¬ tion, that she readily granted her request. Sbe was soon ablo to assist in the shop, and to make herself in many ways useful. Of tho kind stranger she saw bui little, but from Mrs. Wing she learned that be had gcoerouflly defrayed all exjicnscs of her illness. He came hut seldom, but when he did, be spoke of ber so kindly, en¬ couraging her with so much gentlcaess, sonlh¬ ing ber sorrows, and leading ber mind to that Higher source whero alone sho might look for comfort, that Effie regarded him in the light of a superior being. Thus months rolled on, and no tidings of Bel¬ mont reached Efiie. One morning, as she stood arranging a few fancy articles upon the broad wimlow-seat in a manuer which might display their beauiy to the best'ad van lago, she threw up the sash for a moment to inhale tjie fine breeze which came sweeping up from the river. The day was lovely. "The gentle undulating surface of the Delaware, cleft hy a hnndred fiashing oars, wiih lhe keels of many noble vessels buried in her sparkling tide, their while sails swelling to the breejre, stretched before her in beauty, wliile above, cloudle.'is and serene was the blue vault of heaven. A pleasure yacht bad just neared the wharf, Rnd from it a party of gentlemen sjirung to and, and wiib rather boisterous niirlh, crossed the .i^trcet directly opposite where Efiie still Hood at lbe window. Suddenly her eyes rest¬ ed on oue of ibe gay group, and for a moment it seemed as if breath and motion were suspeud-1 ed iu the inienslty of her gaze. She could not I be mistaken—she knew she was not—it was i 'Belmont, her hnsband; and scarcely knowing what she did, she rushed to the door, and wiih a wild scream of joy, threw herself npon the breast of Crayford. 'Ho, ho, Crayford you are in luck, my boy !' shonled oneof the patty; 'by Jove she's on aneel!' Overwhelmed with confusion, and taken by surprise at tho sudden appearance of one whom he had hoped never to see more, Crayford for balf a minute stood irresolute, then struggling to disengage himself from her embrace, be ex¬ claimed angrily, ' Off, womau—none of your tricks with me; ofi; 1 say !' Casling roughly aside those tender arms wh ich clung to him so despairingly, poor Ellie woold have fallen to the ground but for another of the parly, who, seizing her just as sho was sinking, cried with mock pathos, *¦• 'Here, pretty one, the fellow ia a monster ;' here, I will take care of you—come, kiss mc!' i But Efiie sprung from his arms, and clasping the knees of Crayford as she saw the heartless wretch moving on, | 'Belmont, my husband!' she cried, in lones of piercing anguish, ' do nol, 0, do not leave me ngain ; uo, you will not be so cruel—take mc with you !* 'Thai's cool, by heavens !—ha ! ha! ha!' shouled Crayford, with hifernal daring, • you are crazy, child ! I am not your Belmoni; per¬ haps this is he—or this/ pointing from one to tho other of his companions. Tlie look of wo wilh which the poor girl re¬ ceived this cruel speech, did not escape there noliee, and, hardened as they were, tbey were moved to pity, and the rude jesls died on their lips. Efiie rose from her knees, and loitering a step forward, placed her trembling hand npon tbo ouisireiohed arm of Crayford, Wiih an oath he spurned her frofii him, when in his path their suddenly arose one whose cold, searching glance, siruck terror to his soul. * Crayford, I know yon !' exclaimed the stran¬ ger. * This, then, is your infernal work; ay, tremble, thou base destroyer of innocence.— Away, I say, ere I am tempted to do a deed that shall shame my manhood I' Livid with rage, Crayford drew a dirk from his bosom, and rushed suddenly npon the stran¬ ger ; but in an instant it was wrenched from his hand, then seizing thc wretch by the collar, aa he would a dog, he hurled hira ofi" lhe curb¬ stone, nnd with such force, as sent him half across tlie street, and then lifting tenderly the form of the fainting girl in his arms, boro her into the house. Tho reader will, of course, infer that Cray¬ ford and the stranger had met before. They hnd ; nor was this tbe first dark deed to which thc latter knew Crayford might lay claim. To draw our long digression to a close, suf¬ fice it to say, that it was the unfortunate Efiie Day whom Florence had met while walking with Crayford, and that tho gentleman whom she bad pointed out to him in the picture gallery, was 110 other than the stranger of whom we have just spoken, and whoso appearance had so perceptibly agitated ber companion. CHAriER v. Wo will now return to Florence, whom wc left in a state of such cruel suspense, and it would he difiicuU to say, perhaps, which of the two at the moment she hoped to find the sincere —Crayford or tbo unknown. Slie felt she bad gone too far to recede, and that it had now become her duty to probe ibis enigma thoroughly. Her confidence in Cray¬ ford was too much impaired for her to receive him again into her presence so long as sucb doubis hung around his character. ' 1 will obey tbe instructions of this nnknown Mentor,' said she, * it cannot be that he is false ; no, to this Mrs. Belmont, then, will I go, and go alone.' Ordering a carriage, therefore, and directing the driver to No. 7 Lane, she set forth up¬ on nn errand which, for a young, unprotected female, was ceitainly rather hazardous. Of its locality she had no knowledge; and when she found herself gradually approaching the oppo¬ sile side of the city from ber own residence, passing through narrow streets, and at every turniug drawing nearer to the river, she would have felt more apprehension but for the words of the unknown : * Fear.notj' urged the- note, ' one will be near you who will protect you with hi» life.* These worda reassured her, for she had so long accustomed herself to regard him in the light of her protector and friend, that even now, when ber doubts almost distracted her, she atill gave herself up to the^ pleasing ihoogbt that he was near, and no danger could befafihjir. • This is No. 7 . Lane,' said the coach- man, reigning in his horses hefore the thread and needle utore of Mrs. Wing, ' whom shall I askfor?' 'Never mind, I will go in myselr,'.an3wered Florence. Mrs. Wing was sitting in a Uttle back room, botseeingalady enter the shop, arose and came forward to the counter, _ * Is there a Mrs. Belmont lodges here ?' in¬ quired Florence. < TJiero is a yonng woman of that name in my employ, friend—would thee like to seo her ? If thee does, thee can go to her room—sbe has been very ill.' Florence bowing assent, the good woman led the way up a narrow staircase, and opened lhe door of a neat little chamber, saying, as she motioned Florence to go in, * Here is a young woman to seo thee, Efiie,' and immediately withdrew. Near lhe bed, in a large easy-chair, propped up by pillows, sat poor Eftie Day. Not a tinge of the rose, once blooming so freshly there, could be traced on that pale cheek, and of the same marble hue were her lips and brow.— These, conirasied by her jet-black' hair, and eyes so large and brilliant, imparted a strange ghaatliness to her appearance. At the first glance Florence recognized her as the yonng: woman whom Crayford had pointed out to her ns a fortune teller. This at once opened a new channel for ibotigbt, and supposing, therefore, that slie bad been directed thilher for the pnrpose of consult- ing her art, she said, half timidly approaching her. ' Can you toll my fortune for me V Poor Rfiie,ioo,had recognized the lovely girl whom sbe had seen walking with him she still believed to be her husband,and looking up with a sad earnestness of expression, mado answer, * Vour forume ! O, my beautiful young lady, may it never be so wretched as mine !' Then noticing the event perturbation of Florence's manner, she cominued, < Can I serve you in any way V ' I was sent to you for the purpose, as I sup¬ pose, of having my fortune told,' answered Florence. ' There is some mistake,' replied Efiie, a half smile fiittitig over her palo face, * I am not a for- ume-teller.' ' But I ihought—I nnderstood—that is—Mr. Crayford told me you were. Did I not meet you in Chesnut street V asked Florence. A faint color tinged lhe cheek of Eflie, nnd her beautifnl eyes dropped low as she answered, * You did—too well do 1 remember it—yon looking so happy, and I so sad ! Yes, I saw yon point mo out to Belmont.' ' Belmont I 1 know no such person,' said Florence, * it was Mr. Crayford wbo was wilh me—it was Mr. Crayford who told me 3'ou were a fortune-teller,' 'Did he—did hc tell you so?' said Efiie, bursting into tears,' for, alas ! young lady, it was Belmont—it was my husband you were walking wilh !» < Yonr husband r cried Florence, aghast. * Yes, my husband. Dear young lady, think not I am mistaken—would that 1 were, I saw those eyes, so full of love, fixed on your blush¬ ing facfi—heard llie soft toues of his voice as be bent low to address you. Yes, I saw all—heard all; and then, ab, then !' cried Efiie, wilh shudder, and raising her tearful eyes to heaven, • what a look lie cost npon vie ; But did he- did Belmont send you to mc V she eagerly de¬ manded. ' No, ho did not—it was another who direct¬ ed me here. And now, my poor girl," said Fiorence, drawing ber chair close to Effie, and kindly taking her hand, < I see that you have been cruelly treated—will you then lell me your history—will you tell me of Crayford, or Bel¬ mont, for I now seo thcy aro ono and the same." ' Do you love bim V asked Efiie, sadly. ' No, I do not love him, nor is it probable we >*hall ever meet ogain,' replied Florence. 'But he has sought your lovo—and yet you love bim not—bow sirange! I love him! 0, would to God I did not!' and hero the poor girl iobbcd aloud, while Florence, overcome by emotion, threw her arms around tho iinforin- ate, and resting her head on her bosom, mingled tears wiih her. When both were a little more calm, Florence again urged her to reveal her sorrows, which Efllie did in language so simple and earnest as carried conviction lo the mind of her listener, who shuddered as the fearful abyss in wbich A\Q had heen so nearly lost, thua opened beforo her. 'And do you know ihe name of the person who has beon so kind lo you V asked Florence referring to tho preserver of Efiie, ' 1 know not,' answered Efiie, ' neither does Mrs. Wing, * but to me, dear young lady, he has been an angei of goodness !' 'Strange!' though: Florence, 'this benevo¬ lent stranger can surely be no other than my unknown friend. He is, then, all I first imag¬ ined him—kind, noble, disinterested—and yet I have doubled him; how am I reproved ! but for him, my own fate might, perhaps, have re sembled that of the unforiunaie girl before me !' ¦While lost in these reflections, she was sud¬ denly started by a slight scream from EfSe. who, grasping her arm tightly, said, while her pale face crimsoned, and her bosom heaved tu- mnliiiousJy, ' Hark \ his voice—it is his voice !' * Whose voice— what is the matter V demand¬ ed Florence. 'Do you not know,' cominued Eflie, as half rising she bent her little head, and raised her finger in an attitude of deep attention, ' Do you not know Belmont's voice '/ Ah, I see now very Well you do not love him.* * Belmont! good heavens, what .shall I do exclaimed Florence, starting up, • is there 1 way for me to escape—not for worlds would I have him find me here !' ' Go in there,' said Effie, pointing to a small door ; ' but you will be obliged to remain there —there is no other way.' ' Then I must, of course, hear all you say,' said Florence, slurinkinginsiiriciively from thus intruding upon the young girl's privacy. Eflie looked up confidenlly and answered, ' It is well; if this meeting is to restore me my happiness, you will rejoice wilh me ; if it plunge me in still greater wo, then, dear lady it is better for you to know it!' Florence had no time to reply, for now a man's step was heard quickly ascending the stairs. Springing into the litile room adjoining sho closed the door, and panting with agitation awaited the resiUt. Again lbe words of the unknown recurred to her. * Fear not! one will be near you, who will protect you wiililiis Hfe.* Scarcely had Florence withdrawn, when the other door was opened, and a man wearing a cloak, wilh his hat drawn far down over his face, entered, then closing it, and carefully turning tho key, he advanced toward Efiie, who had risen, and stood clinging to the cosy-chair to support her irembling limbs, ' You are surprised to see me, I suppose, child,* said he, throwing off" bis cloak and bat, and revealing tbo form and features of Cray¬ ford. ' My dear husband, do we then meet again !* cried Efiie, feebly extending her arms, as she sunk back into the chair. Crayford folded his arms across his breast, and throwing himself carelessly upon a seat, said, ' I have como to settle matters with you, that's all. What the d—1 are you doing here V ' Don't speak so cruelly to mc—don't, Bel¬ mont !' cried poor Efiie, bursting into tears.— ' 0, if you knew the anguish I have endured sinco you left me; if yon knew, that, driven 10 despair, I even sought to take myown life, you would pity me ! If you knew how I have watched for you—sought for yoa—how I havo waited for you, you would at least have com¬ passion on mo !* ' You're a fool!' exclaimed Crayford, brutal¬ ly. * Why I thought you would have learned better by this time; but since you bave not, why you must not be in my way, that's all.— Now b'sten to me ; you must go out of the city —and look you, on condition that you will nev¬ er come back again, I will give you a thousand dollars ; come, that's generous, now—most men would let you go to the before they would do as much for you. The fact is, child, I am going to be married, and to a beautiful, rich lady.' ' ' JlfaniW." shrieked Efiie, starting to har feet, and catching Lis arm,' married—am I not your wife r' ' Ha ! ha ! ha !—come, that's a good one J not exactly, child, you aro only my wife,j»o«r passer lc terns, as the French say. No, that was all a hoax—you are free, and with a thou¬ sand dollars to buy you a liusband ! Now is not that better ?' said Crayford, chucking her under the chin. Efiie did not reply. It needed not—those eyes, more eloquent than words, fastened upon his guilty countenance, told plainly a villian's work of wo wrought in her young, trusting heart. Crayford, hardened as he was, quailed under their reproach. I At length she spoke, but thero was an un¬ natural calmness in her voice. * Who is the lady you wili marry V she aaid. 'Well, I will tell you—and, by the way, you came near ruining. my prospects there. She saw you in Chesnut streel one day, as we were walking, and.you looked so queer at me, that, faith,.! was put to my trumps, i,nd mum¬ bled over something abont your being ft crazy fortuDs-teller—was not that wiellulone3* . . , * It was well done,' answered Effie, in the same tone; 'bat the name—tell me her name.' 'Her name ia May—a yonng, pretty vidow; though, on my sonl, Effie—why I declare, now I look at you, yoa are almost as handsome ts ever; if it was not for her money, she hiigfat look farther for a hosbarid; Bnt come,- X am in a hurry; I want yoa to sign thia paper, pledging youraelf to leave the city never to re- well, bring up the I win,' answered ERie; 'but I requi witness.* A wilness—nonsense old w:oman, then.' It is not necessary—here is one,' said Effie, advanciiig with a firm step to the inner door, and throwing it open wide. Severe in youthful beauty,' Florence came forlh. Had a thunderbolt suddenly fallen from heaven, Crayford could not have been moro paralyzed. Florence paused upon tbe thres¬ hold. ' Go!'said she, waving her hand, ' go, Mr. Crayford, this innocent girl is under my protec¬ tion. I have heard all—I know all—begone, ¦." And, incapable of uttering one word, the guilty wretch, awed by the mojesty of virtue, stole away as a fiend fron) the presence of an angel. The over-tasked firmness of poor Efiie now gave way; and piteous it was to witness the agony of her grief and shame. Poor, unhappy child !' cried Florence, tak¬ ing her to her bosom, and tenderly soothing her, * yon have been basely, cruelly dealt with !— Heaven,s! I shudder when I think what my fate niight have been bnt fnr ibis discovery !' She remninod tome honrs wilh the wretched girl, nor left her until she had become more iranqiiill," when, wilh the assurance that she would see her again in a very few dnys, she took an aflectionate leave of poor Effie Day, ind returned home. I will state liere that thc mysterious friend of Florence May knew noihing of Crayford's visit to the viciim of his wiles. He merely intended iJjal from the lips of Efiie, slie might learn hts baseness. Her meeting with Crayford, there¬ fore, was one of those singular coincidences which often starile even the most skeptical. Florence returned home with feelings diffi¬ cult lo analyze. The interest wilh which the unknown had from the first inspired her, now suddenly acquired new strength. She had proved him to be the friend ho professed, while his kindness to the unfortunate Elfio (for sho doubled not his individuality) was another proof of his exrellence, showing that his good¬ ness of heart did not confine itself alone to her welfare, whioh might be attributable, perhaps, to his avowed attachment, hut could find its way to succor where'er distress or \vretched- ness dwelt. Shc felt this love and kindness merited return—and her heart timidly awarded it. Selecting a beautiful emerald ring from her jewels, she enclosed it with the following note : ' Generous, noble friend, I have proved your assertions true. O, pardon my doubts! You have said you love me; will you then deem it bold in mo if I acknowledge tho interest with which you have inspired me. Yet you say we may never meet; why is this? Accept the enclosed, and with it tho gratitude of Florence.' * You then acknowledge an interest in me,' wrote tho unknown, in reply. * Thanks, a tbousand thanks. Thc time approaches when the barrier now existing may be removed, nnd then I may hope to win your love I Where, now, are those despairing thoughts which crush¬ ed me wjlh their weight of wo; one kind word from yon, and as the soft moonbeams dispel the blackness of night, they have fied, and around me is the light of joy—hopo—happiness.' lurn, ui»n which condition I nlso pledge myself exultingly upon Florence as these words sounded to give you o thousand dollars—wilt you sign audibly: ¦ — *Tomybelovedwife, Florence, I do bequeath all my property, bolh personal and real, con¬ sisting of,' etc., etc., 'provided that within one yoar fipm tbe day of my death she marries. But if,'at the expiration of that time she siill remain a window, then I do annul my will in her favor, and do bequeath ihe'i same to my nephe^r, Abel May, provided he returns within the said year. If not, then uuio those who can bring good proofs of iheir consanguinity to me, do I direct my property to be equally dis¬ tributed- Always excepting an annuity of three hundred dollars, to be paid to my beloved wife, so long as sho lives, etc' - * Nonsense !* t Three hundred dollars !' ' An oid fool!' echoed softly from lip to lip— the paltry sum already dashing their cup of -joy* ' You have heard the will, ladies and gentle¬ men, said lhe lawyer, addressidg the company, ' I believe Mrs. May acknowledges herself still u widow—will you signify thc same, madam? Florence bowed. ' You observe, ladies and gentlemen, lbe lady admits herself a widow; ihen, ofconrse, it only remains for mo to aunoimce young Abel May aa sole heir to all the property, both per¬ sonal and real, of which the t/jstator died pos¬ sessed.' «Abel J\fay has returned—Abel May is here to claim his rights!' said the lawyer, screech owl that hij was to their ears. The folding doors were thrown open, and a gentleman slowly odvanced wiihin the circle. Pid Florence dream—was it nu vision of her imagination ! for as she looked upon the stran-' ger, the same eyes she had seen so mournfully gazing upou her in the picture gallery, Unt which now, beaming with happme.w, met hers,, while ttpon his finger—a star of hope—glitter- i ed the emerald ring she bad sent the unknown. ' SlighiljTb-Jwing to the astonished assembly, Abel May eagerly approached her. The happy girt looked up with a sweet smile*as he drew near ; what need of wordsr,"irtTF'Tjieauiiful eyes wero far mote eloquent, aud with thrilling joy the young heir caught her to his boaom. At first lhe discomfited relatives disputed the identity of the tall, elegant stranger, with the lad who so many years before weirt'TOving; but his proofs were indisputable. So out of the room, and out of lhe house, and back again to their homes, with uureplenished purses, tbey quickly dispersed. It appears that young Mey returned only a few weeks subsequent 10 lhe deaih of his uncle from the Easl Indies, whero hfi had accumula¬ ted a handsome fortune. By accident hc aaw Florence, nnd was deeply interested by her appearance. Aware that a lapse of so many years muat have materially altered his person, he resolved to remain incognito. Frequent opportunities of seeing tbe young widow rip¬ ened the interest shc had first inspired into af¬ fection. Yet ke would not present himsclf to her notice amid the ihrong oi foriune-bnnters and idle flaiicrcra who surrounded her. Rumor bad made known to him the nature of the will, and he resolved to abide the year, taking upon himself, meapwhile, the pleasing oflice of act¬ ing ai the protector and guide of the young, inexperienced widow. If, at the end of the year, she had so far evinced a soul above all sordid views as to remain unmarried, then, and riot till then, would he seek to gainf-her love. With the fortune, however, which, in the event of her remaining single, would fall to him, he nobly resolved to bave no share, and had therefore drawn up an instrumeni by which he relinguished ali claim in favor of Florence, whether successful in obttiining her affection or not. This only awaited its proper timo to be duiy attested. A year and a day brought results with which the reader is already acquainted, and a few weeks wiinessed %\e happy union of Florence and young Abel May. Under the roof of her benefactor and his lovely wife, the nnfortunate Efiie Day found a home and kind friends. Of Cr;?yford nothing more was ever heard. It was supposed he had left the country for a field less obnoxious to the display of his peculiar attributes-.^ Valuable Theological Books. «PANGLER & BROTHER respectfully invite ^^ tho uttention or MlnUtern ond othoni to tho follow¬ ing Mft of Standard Thoolonicnl Works, whioh wo are proparud to floU iit thc vory lowt-^t rates : Browhlur'n Lightfl nnd Sbuduw« of Chrhtian Ltro.

To be sure, much might be done in two more, if one earnestly set about it—for Florence had a pair of ayes, and a tongue that might * call an angel down.* Yet to thoso about her, sho seemed more reckless of her fate than ever—going out but seldom, and scarcely allowing any gentleman to approach her presence. The old housekeeper, wht> wns strongly at¬ tached to her young mistress, bad fretted and scolded to herself for weeks aud months. The only time when she managed to preserve her equanimity, was when Crayford visited the house, for then she saw plainly an ofi'er of mar¬ riage, and a wedding-party in the bottom of her lea-cup, while love-letters and kisses sparkled in the candle ! But when, like all others, he was also dismissed, the poor sonl could contain herself no longer, but breit/king Tn abruptly;iip¬ on Florence one morning, she ihus began :¦' ' Does ihee know whnt month it is V* ' Yes, dear Mrs. Hicks,* answered Florence, raising her eyes from her painting. * And does thee know that in two more thee has been a widow one year ?' 'Alas, yes! but why—why, Mrs. Hicks, do you remember me of it V * Truly, child—has thee forgotten thee must marry ?* 'Aliift marry ! O no, my good friend, not un¬ less I please—and it is not my will to marry, said Florence, smiling. *Not thy will to marry!' exclaimed Mrs. Hicks, lifting np both hands ; ' and so tby will is to be poor!' ' Yes,' answered Florence,' if you call it be¬ ing poor to bc possessed of health and strength, added to three hnndred dollars a year. Poor! why my dear Afrs. Hicks, I ahall be rich—really rich !' * Rich ! Ah, thee talks like a simple child ! What will thee do with thy health and strength and three hundred dollars !* * O, much,' replied Florence. * Wilh two hundred I can hire a neat little house—with the.other I can fnrnish it comfortably, and with my heahh and strenglh I can leach music and painting; and, if you please, dear Mrs. Hicks, you shall live with me, and so shall poor Efiie Day,' ' Child, thee knows nothing of life,' cried the good woman, wiping her eyes. ' Verily, il makes my heart sad to seo theo blindly ihrow- hig from thee lhe fortune'that good old Abel May did give thee ! Cbild, thee does not act in accordance with tbo wishes of tbat good man; for, truly, he did beseech thee to marry, llmt ihec might retain lhe good gifts of the world!' Florence threw her arms around the neck of the old lady. * I thank you, dear Mrs. Hicks, for I know you mean all you have said for my good ; but not to possess millions could I bo tempted to barter my affections ; and even if I Joved, T would not marry within the prescribed year, when by remaining a widow, I can give to the relations of that excellent man, lhe fortune to which I have no claim, save in his kindness for one unforiunaie. Could I havo done so, I would long sinco have yielded up my rights.* ' Thee is a noble, good girl; and so long as these hands can work, they shall work for thee ; but I am sorry, nevertheless, to see thee g-iving up to the lovers of Mammon what they have so long coveted. Verily it grieves me, too, that young Abel May does not return ! Ah, child, child, I hope thee may nover bo sorry !' and affection a lely kissing her young lady, Mrs. Hipks went back to her work, half pleased, half angry with the determination of Florence. In the meantime, slowly, slowly, slowly* to the kindred of old Abel May, circled the twelve months, dating from the day of his deatii; sus¬ piciously, anxiously, imeasily watching every movement of the young widow. But joy, joy! The long looked-for morning at length dawned. To their eager gu!:o Ihe sun seeraed like a huge golden guinea, as he smiled from the eastern sky upon their hopes, and soft and silky as bank note paper appeared tbe thin, vapory clouds fioating o'or his path. Again from marble-columned squares and hy- lanes, from suburban cottages and distant vil¬ lages thcy carae, fiocking in like rvultures, all ready to pounce down upon the innocent liitle lamb whom old Abel May had sheliercd in bis bosom. Nor were their torments ended here; even then a new fear seized npon them. Who knows what desperation might eflTect; ihe wid¬ ow that very day might take it into her hoad to marry—they had no doubt she would. Alas ! each hour marking the twelve of that day of doom, Was bnt a type of the preceding twelve month, which bad finally brought around tho joyful anniversary. . Midnight BOMrided. Hurra! hurra! The widow nnmarried; and bright, sparkling dol¬ lars, like shooting stars, falling around them. At twelve, M- precisely, the lawyers bowed themselves into the spacious parlor of the de¬ ceased, for it could no longer be called the widow's, in order to read again the lost will autl teslament. Triumph sat again upon the countenances of those whora the occasion had called together; although some made most woful faces in trying to squeeste out a few tears, ihinking it would bo judicious to consider the old man as just dead. But Florence was as provokingly cheerful and handsome as ever—why one would have thought she was about to receive a fortune instead of losing one; and it even seemed as if ahe could hardly suppress her laughter as she glanced liroond at the. espeetant lieir»? ¦' The manof law at length.drew forth the will with an emphatic *S'«m,'premonitory. . Thea on bIL sides tbere was a general stir; the geiitt«men polled np their shirt-collara and elongated their faces; the ladies smoothed down tbeir mnarning robes and held their handker¬ chiefs ready to receive a tear when occasion should call it forth.

IfEAR AND A DAY:
OR THE WILL.
[CONCLUPED FRO.M OUR LAST.] CHAl-TER IV.
We will take a brief retrospect of liio last two ycurs in tho lifa of Crayford.
Upon a pleasant summer evening, two gen¬ tlemen, mounted on fine, spirited steeds, came gayly cantering down the gentle slope of a hill, and nurosa the rustic bridge which formed the entrance lo a small village in tho interior of IVnii.'fylvariiiijjiist as a party of merry millc- inaiils were reiurning the same wny fr"m ibe green pastures beyond. The road, or ralher lan.^, wns here rjiiiie narrow, und observing lbe rapid approach of the equestrians, lbe girls bastify Mopping asidu into the deep grass, stood Slill for Ibem pass by. Instead of doing so, bow.'ver, tbey slackeiicil their pace, and one of them reigning in bis steed, gazed imperiinenily i.ilu ili« blushinii faces nf liio village girls.
' By beaviMis !' lie exclaimed, in a low voice 10 bis companion, * what a pair uf eyes that lillle wiieb has in ibo blue penicoal—and u'bat a ^hai-e .' look at ber, Hastings,' ,
The damsel ilius pointed out could not bave bi'en more tban sixteen. In face and f.irin a perfect Hebe, wilb a most superb pair of Iniigli- Illg black eyes, shaded by long curbug tasbes. Uer little aun-boimet was llirown oil", but rested luosfly upon ber shoulders; her bair, wbicb was as block and brilliani ns ber oy^s, was cut short to her beautiful neck, nnd clusiereil in ligltt iinglets over ber finely formed head, upon the top of wiiich ,'iat her pail of foaming milk. Witb one band she hehl it lighlly poised, while Ibe otber rested upon ber bip, in un atiiinde mosi graceful and picturesque. Her petticoat wusof dark-blue bombazet, set od" by a white muslin sliort-gown reaching balf way to the knees, where it was Jinished with a narrow .frilling—a dress still in vojiio among thc farm¬ ers' daughters both in Pennsylvania and New England—and a very pretty dress it is, too. Her little feet were bare, biding ihemselves modeslly in the tall grass.
* The girl is an angel—a perfect divinity V replied Hastings, after a rude stare at the yoting maid, * What a sensalion sbe would make—Eb, Crayford !'
* I sny, Hastings,* added ihe oilier, wiih a devilish leer, * it will be worth our whde to stay bere a day or two—what say you?'
To tbis Hflsiiiigs returned n significant wink, which was responded to by tbe oilier in the same way.
Dnring tbese remnrks they bad rode siowly on, but novi- suddenly wheeling his borse, Cray¬ ford onco more approached the little group, and lifting liis bat, bowed most gracefully as be said,
* Can you tell tne, fair maidens, whero my frieud and myself may bo so foriiinale as lo find a night's lodging.'' We arc somewhat fatigued with a long day's ride, and would fain rest our weary limb?, as also our jaded steeds. Can you direct us, then, to some public house in your village?'
A sprightly blue-eyed girl, delighted to bc of service to tbe polite stranger, stepped quickly forward, and said, while her cheeks grew reil- der and redder, and her eyes rounded with every word;
* O, yes, sir, lhere is a good tavern at lhe otlier end of the village, snd here is Etfie Day, slic lives there, you know, for ilis her grandfa- Iber wbo kee|)s the bonse ; here, ElHe, you will show tho guuileman ibc way, wont yon Eftie?*
* By all the saints, how lucky!' whispered Crayford, to bis friend—Eilie proving lo be no other ihan the identical maiden who had so eiiarmed liim.
Springing from his borse, and ibrowing th(« reins to Hastings with a meaning glance, Cray¬ ford lifted tho pail from the head of the blush¬ ing girl, and begged tbe privilege of assisting bur wilh ber bnrden, while she aeted as bis guide to the inn. Tlie girls all laughed merrily at this, bnt Eilic, blushing siill'decper, drew ber run-bonnet closely over ber face, and tripped lightly bn beforo bini, so fieetly, too, whether from bashfutness or iniscbief, tbut ber gallanl could scarcely keep pace with ber twinkling feet. On reaching the inn, bis fair guide sud¬ denly disappeared, leaving Crayford to dispose of tbe milk-pail as be could, to the no small de¬ light of Hastings, wbo highly enjoyed the evi¬ dent discomfiture of his frieiid.
The old landlord welcomed the strangers heartily, and gave tbem the best rooms his liouse could boost, and soon placed before them an excellent supper. But what gave it its true zest was tbe aitendance of the pretty milk-maid —and a more lovely cup bearer never served lhe gods.
Poor Effic Day was but an infani when bolh her parents were taken from her by death, and no other home had she ever known than the roof of her kind old grandfather. With a ten¬ derness far exceeding that which they had fett for their own children did her grandparents re¬ gard her,, and in pity for her orphan slate in¬ dulged ber in every wisb which it was in their power to grant. As sbe grew up her beauiy and vivacity was their pride, and uo theme could sooner rench their hearis than the praises of their darling Efiie. She was brought np in all the simplicity of coumry life; a circuit of ten miles the botmdary of her hlile world, ond from books her knoweledge was scarcly more. Yet the birds which sang at her window, or the lambs with whom slie skipped in the meadows, were not more gay or bapjiy than was tho old innkeeper's bright darling child, when like the serpent in Paradise, Crayford came. He fonnd tlie honest oid coiipla and thc artless Eflii^ of tbe very sort whom liia cunning could most oasIJy dupe, and with skill wltich wontj not have disgraced a demon, set about bis fiendish work—for most cogent reasons of his own dis¬ guising his name under that of Belmont, while his worthy coadjutor assitmeti-luat of Jervis.
Feigning to be charmed with the locality of Ihis little town, tbey made known their inten¬ tion of passing several week? in ita vicinity. But why enter into the details of a plot such ns should call down the avenging bolt of heaven, i Sufiice il, alas ! to say, that sin and villany irl- I iimphed, and as pure a child as ever the fint'er of God rested upon, was enticed from her home, from her poor old doting grandparents.
Under a solemn promise of marriage the un-1 foctunato Efiie eloped with her base betrayer. ' Upon reaching Pbiladelpbia, lbe form of mar¬ riage was gono through with by a convenient priest, and the sacrifico ofinnoccsco compleled. For some monihs, but for the memory of tbe aged couple, in tho silent shades of her naiive valley, she was ,15 happy as a young confiding wife could be in the love, nay, adoration ofher husband. The lodgings Crayford rented were in an obscure part of the cily, and furnished most meagerly for the taste of ono accustomed to fashionablo display, yet Efiie, who had nev¬ er seen any thing more grand than tho parson's parlor at home, thought even a queen could not bo more sumptuously lodged, and she was very sure could not bo more happy. Poor, poor Effie !
This devotion on the part of Crayford con¬ tinued while his humor lasted—no longer; nor did one gleam of pity for the nnfortunate girl lead him to wear the mask only ns long as suit¬ ed his own pleasure. The heart sickens to dwell upon the anguish of poor Effie, thus abandoned by one for whom she had sacrificed all—one so friendless, so forlorn, so young and so beaulifui.
The woman with whom she lodged allowed her to remain under her roof until sho hnd slrip- pfd her of the little she possessed—of her cloth¬ ing, nnd the few ornamonts Crayford had given her; then, when no more was to bc gained, she thrust her forth into the streets lo die, or live by a fate worse than death-!
Alas ! that in a world so fair as this, such ihings xeally are, needing no aid from fancy to to portray their atrociousnoss.
All day did tho poor girl wander through the- busy crowd, gazing piteously into the faces of the mullilude, and if by chance one moro kindly tlian others bent an eye iipon her, she would ask them for Belmont. But no one could tell her aught. And then night came—dark, deso¬ late night. On, from street to «treet passed the unTonunate, shrinking from the rude stare, and still ruder speech of brutes caUing them¬ selves men; no one offering a shelter to the houseless wanderer, and even her own sex meet¬ ing her appeals witb coarse, unfeeling laugh- ier.-«- .,,..:-¦ . .. \

Poor EiHe Day|! what pleasant memories were crowded into those few brief moments.

Then falling on her knees, sbe clasped her trembling hands, murmuring a prayer for par¬ don and mercy.

Siie-heard no more, for a faintness came over lier, aud but for lhe arm siill arouud her, she would havo fallen insensible to the ground. When she recovmed, she found herself npon a bed in a small neat apartment. A womnn of mild countenance was leaiung over her, chafing her hands and temples, and atthe foot of the bed stood a gentleman dres.sed in deep mourn¬ ing, wilh his full, dark eyes fixed upon ber with pity und kindness.
