CHAPTFa I.
* Lucy, dear,' said her demure aunt Beriho, ' why is it that you cannot sit down quietly and ECttlc yourself at aomething fora few moment*! You really fatigue me with yout untiring efforts to kill the morning.*
.   * Kill it, aunt!   Now, that sounds murderous. Pray, explain yourself-'
* I know not what else to cull it,' said aunt Bertha, aa she took ofl" her spectacles and laid down her knitting; ' and perhups you will not think mo far from right when I tell you that, in tlio first place, you threw yourself into that rocking chair aud swung backward and forward for about tcu minutes, as though you were handsomely paid for tbo exercise; then jump¬ ing up suddenly, you ran to the window and thumped for another ten rainutes on the glass, singing, at the same time, something about a cortain, Uncle Ncd/ who died long ago. Now, if thero ever was such a person in the family, I musl say I have no recollection of him.— Well, after that, you laid down awhile upon the sofa, and then—*
* Nevor mind tho rest,' aaid the now amused Lucy, * only be good enough to tell me what to do, aod I will try lo do it; bui, indeed, aunt Bertha, if you felt so beset and miserable as I do you would pity me.'
* Beset and miserable ! At sweet sixteen be¬ set and miserable! 'tis hardly possible or kind to believe it, Lucy.'
'The solemn truth, nevertheless. I am pos¬ itively unhappy; and I don'i see, auni, bow ] can bo otherwise, while everything in the bouae is wrong, and noihing ia right.*
Aunt Beriba here looked very sad, and was somo time silent.    At last she said,
'Come, Lucy, sit down by me, and letl mc all the trouble. Perhaps the matter can be mended.   Now, what is it ?'
Lucy sat down as requested, aod then pro¬ ceeded :
' You know, as well as I do, aunt, all aboui it; but, for your father enlightenment, I will be¬ gin, first, with my father, who, at times, does not seem happy with my moiher ; consequently at locb periods my mother is not happy with my faiher. This is only at times. lacknowt- edfie-ryatr- t-'i^^'mpression is painful, and the memory lasting to me.   Then my sister Jane—'
'Lucy, bavo you ever known of any serious difficulty—any open outbreak between your pa¬ rents ?'
' Oh, dear!' said Lucy. ' An open outbreak .' that would indeed be terrible ! No, nothing of lho kind. Tbey are, you know, too well bred for that. I only mean that they do not always seem congenial. There is often an unaccount¬ able reserve wben togeiher—n feeling of great discomfort, and an apparent struggle on both Bides to hid.^ or suppress ihe love which they certainly must entertain for each other. Do you comprehend my meaning, nunt Bertha V
But her aunt was in tears, far her thoughts were far away midst the scenes of her girlhood, where she nnd her gentle sister Emily were so happy—where they grew up in a sweet retire¬ ment, withoul a ihought of sorrow, loving all things and well beloved of each other. Then came the sad memory of Emily's first and only fault, and she exclaimed,
* Emily IS NOT yet toegivkn V
* And what has my poor mother been doing T It must Iw something very distressing, dea,. aunt; or my father is cruel and cold-hearted not to have forgiven her ihrough the long years ihey have lived together. Tell me, will you not?'
* Now is not lho time lo enter upon lhe sub¬ ject, as it is near the di.mer hour, and here is not the place, i^^ we are liable to inierrupiion; bul, Lucy, if you w'.ll coma up to my room some morning, I will promise to admit no other visitor, and ihen I will tell you. Rest Eaiisfied with that; and, aa you have not yet completed your Uat of beectmenis, let me beg of you to proceed.    What were you saying of Jane ?'
* Well as I was saying, Jane is disagreeable ; yes, vnin, too, and haughty.'
* Oh, Lucy !    Of whom are you speaking ?'
* Of my queenly sister Jane,' continued Lucy * She is really all that, and more. She is dio. tatorial and overbearing towards me, who would gladly love her; and indeed Ido love her, I suppoBo from habit; but is il not a tire¬ some way for sisters to gei along logether 2'
'Worse than tiresome. Yet 1 think your imaginaiion increwes the evil. Jane evidently looks upon you as a child. I daro say she is not conscious of her injustice. Certainly abe does not understaad you. Be pationt, Lucy, nnd forbearing. I will talk to Jane and then you will become better acquainted. Now, what other complaint have you 7'
* I do believe that is all; and willyou noi admit that I have just cause of complaint 7'
* Alas ! child, the lime will doubilesa come _when these minor trials will appear very trifling io you i l^t listen, Lucy, and weigh well the words I speak, for I believe them true, because my experience has forced the truth upon me—
THERE IS A SKELETOIt IW XVEEY aOUSE I'
' Oh ! aunt Bertha, faow dreadful !* ' I mean,* continued her aunt,' that there is someihing in every household loJiry our pa¬ tience—aomelhing unpleasant that we would gladly get rid of, but cannoi. iSometimes it i a disagreeable temper lo deal with; sometimes a bad habit; and sometimes a great fault has been committed, the effects of which may make us very miserable for years to come, always somithlvg even among the moai favored ones of earthj'ihat is a drawback to perfect happi-
tho distribution.   I really think she Is an excep¬ tion to tho general rule.*
'People generally are rery choice of their household skeletons, Lucy, and manage every way to conceal ihem from Tisitors, I havo been at Fanny's more than yon, and X know they, too, have a skelelon.*
' la it possible '.' exclaimed Lucy. • Pray, do tell me what it was like. I did not oTon see its shadow.'
' Not suspecting anything, you were not watchful,* said aunt Bertha. < You ask rae, what it was liko V Bofore I anawer you that question, allow me to ask how you liked your cousin James, Fanny's husband V
* Oh, he was well enough,' said Lucy.— ' Cousin Fanny aod I had our own way, and ha never interfered with us. I did wonder, someiimes, that he woold not ride wilh ua moro when the afternoons were so pleasant, and he had nothing else to do; but then we did noi mind him. I think ho was a little queer any¬ how, as ho would sometimes be exceeding pleas¬ an t and talkative, and at others, he would hard¬ ly say a word. But what of that aunt Bertha?' 'Nothing, Lucy, only that Fanny generally bore a heavy heart with her in those pleasani afternoon drives, knowing, as she did, thai James spent the interval in bed, sleeping off the effecis of too much wine. Ii was a con¬ siani effor: with Fanny to keep you ignorant of her husband's failing.'
'Poor cousin Fanny!' said Lucy. 'How sorry thia makes me.*
'And,* continued aunt Bertha, * Fanny tells me that this habit so increases with Jamer, her comfort is aboul gone. He neglects his bnsiness, too; and she now feara everything, where she once hoped ao much. Do you think, Lucy, your sweet cousin Fanny is an exoep- lion V
'No, indeed, dear aunt. On the contrary, my vary heart aches for her. But, there goes lho dinner bell, and our conference must end fur the present; but, my dear aunt Bertha, you will not forget that promise about my mother?' 'Come as soon as you please,* said aunt Bertha.
And now, kind reader, you shall aleo have a rest, unless you, too, are as anxious as Lucy for anoiher chapter.
' And why should it be always thus 7' mur¬ mured Lucy.
' Because the Almighty has ao ordered it, that wo may not, in the pride of life, forget our de¬ pendence upon Him. These afflictions are meaaengera of mercy to us ; purify us, and wean ua from the perishing Ihinga of lime. Do you understand mo Lucy 7'
* I Ibink I do, dear aunt; but the skeleton in our own house—how can I, with my little strengih, resist it or bear with it ?' '
' In many ways, Lucy. You can increase your own happiness hy studying the comfort of those around you; cultivate yout best feelings ; aim always to be patient and cheerful. You have observed your parents, and aro troubled aboat them. Can yoa not, in many ways, com¬ fort the moiher to whom you owe so much 7'
* Sutjh an idea never occurred to me ; and I know not how to begin.'
' You conld, in many wayj, relievo her by in- teresting yourself in her dutiea and pleaaurea.
CHAPTEE II.
Come in,* aaid Bertha Warren, in anawer to a timid knock at the door, a few mornings after the converaation mentioned in the pre¬ ceding chapter, and Lucy smilingly entered with her work basket.
* Bring that rocking chair near the fire and ail down, Lucy. Right glad am I to aee you. Indeed, I was just wishing for your company.'
' And I ahould have come aooner, had I nol been helping my mother. You cannot think how pleased she was to have my assistance.— Jane, too, has mended hke manners. She even asked me to go with hor to the dressmaker's; but I preferred coming here lo claim your promise.'
Oh, dear I What a memory the girl has,' aaid her aunt. ' I was in hopes you had foi- golton it.'
' Forgotten it! You cannoi be serious. Bul, dear aunt, if yon regret your promise, say so, and I will iry to be satisfied wiihout hearing what to me would be so interesting.'
' To say the truth, Lucy, the subject, even at this late day, is rather a painful one ; but as I promised to loll you, so I will perform, hoping you will bo warned and instructed by the reci¬ tal. Perhaps, after all, it is hardly righi to ex¬ pose a mother's faults to her child.'
Noihing you can say, dear aunt, will lessen my love for my molher; a ihousand faults, committed long ago, cannot efface the long years of her kindness to me.*
* Well Lucy with that encouragement I will hesitate no longer; you have often heard how your moiher and myself with one brother, were left orphans at an early age ; how we each in¬ herited a competency, and were raised by our maternal grandmother, in the country. As a matier of course, we were pelted aud indulged, yet we were carefully trained, for our grand¬ mother provided for us an excellent governess* who lovingly and oonscieniiously porformed her duty.
' As years passed on and we wero considered sufficiently accompliahed, our dear governess was dismissed wilh many tears on all sides, as WB were much attached to her and she lo us.— In tho meantime our broihsr Frank, of his own accord went lo college, and then I constituted myself Emily's guardian; I wss the eldest of the three, and ray sister the youngest. I was plain in appearance, and I knew it, though no one told me 30. Frank was bolh handaome and good, but how shalt I describe my sister, as she grew up to womanhood 7 passing beautiful ahe seemed to me in ihuse days of her innocence, and I was as proud of tho admiration ahe ex¬ cited as though I myself were the poiseasor of her charms.
' Poor child, we all conspired to spoil her,and the neighbors kindly helped us in our work.— When we rode to the neighboring village to do our little shopping, the young clerks would vie with each other in iheir attentions to tho lovely Miss Emily, and to Mias Beriba, loo, (for Mias Emily's dear sake.)
' The young farmers also, in thc vicinity, showod a wonderful wiah to be in aome way useful to the old dame Warren, because, they said, she was a widow, and eonaequently must often need aasiatanco ; but it was observed that while tbeir lip-servico was so profusely offered to our grandmother, their eyea invariably wan¬ dered to my sister. Grandmother, with a charming aimplicity, uaed to expatiate largely on the kindneas of theae young men, and would often say,'yes, girls, these fellows, who are io respectful and atlenlive to old women like me, arc always sure to make good husbands, and it would bo wise in you to have an eye to such when you think about marrying.*
* Weli, Lucy, your moiher soon learned the extent of her power, (and wbat pretty girl does oot 7) and even I, ao generally blind to her failings, soon perceived she knew how to exert it.
' Her winning and coquettish ways were conaidered very charming by her country lovers, though they sometimes troubled me, and to add to my distress, our grandmother refused to in¬ terfere in whet she oalled our trjfiiog affairs; she said she was now too old to understand much about lova matters, and we must manage for ourselves.'
* But my dear aunt,' interrupted Lncy, 'come, lell me now and truely, had you never a beau yourself, not one 7'
' Yes, Luoy, I had one and only one. George Erwin visited us frequently, and to my great surprise, once told me ho oared not to enter the liat for my aister, for whom so raany were contending, but expresaed a preference for ray humble self, and—and, after awhile, I found myself seriously in love wilh the said handsome George.'
* Then why are you not Mrs. Erwin now 7
When she seeras dull, you can talk or read tol what conld have happened in'xooR cMejdid her; when  your father  and she are   together, | he not love you ?'
' I believe he did love me; I'm sure I had no
you can try to divert them both ; and who knows, Lucy, but that in time you, youraelf, may be the moana of reconciling them entirely to each other. Lucy, sometimes, don't you think B0MKTIUE3 they seom qnite comfortable together 7'
* Oh, yea, aunt, as you say, I have thoaght that SOMETIMES all was sunshine, and I left very happy; hut suddenly my father's faoe would become clouded, and then my mother's playfubess would ceaae, and she would be so Tory quiet and fltill. I will take your advice, and do the best I can for lhem both. Can yon guess, dear aunt, what strange fancy was in my head, previous to this comforting conversa¬ tion ?'
' No, dear, I am a poor hand at guessing.— So, jast save me the trouble and tell me.'
« Indeed, I am quite aahamed of it now, but I was seriously determined to ask my mother's leave to go and live in the country with ray consin Fanny. You know what an unhappy frame of mind I was in. She has no children and she mado my visit thore so delightful in the summer. I thought it would be so nice to live there in the quiet, snd .leave my troubles at home.   After all your skeletons, aunt Bertha,
reason to douht his words, and I was more pleased, perhaps, than I should have been, since it wai not permiued me to drink the cup of happiness which seemed ao near to my lips.*
'I see now how it was, dear aont; Georgo Erwin died, didn't ho?*
'No, he did no such thing; it would hnve been belter for all panie, jf hg ^.^^^ ^-^^^s ^^-^ Bertha Warren, aomewhat bitterly; 'it seems from what foUwed, thai Emily was piqued at George's preference for me. not that she cared particularly about bim, but the child wat vain and would excuse no one from acknowledeine her charms, who camo within her influence.-
I did not suspect my cheriahed sister of emer- taining so unworthy a feeling, and my mind and heart were both qnite easy.
* Well, Lucy, about that time I was taken ill, and was confined to my bed-room three or foar weeks. Emily seemed really distressed at my affliction, and, at first, was very atten¬ tive, bringing me each day some bind message from George, and often a choice boaqnet ofhis own arranging, wilh many regrets for my siok- neia, and an ardent hope that I would as early , -  ^ posaible admit him to my room.   I promiaed
it «eenM to me cousin 7iainj ww overlooked in [ lU an Interriew as soon as I was prononnced
ablo to sit up. My sister, so full of health and life, soon wearied of my sick room, and left me almost entirely to the care of our aged grand¬ mother, who would sit wholo afternoons in her rockmg chair, near me, doEtog over her knitting. I never once blamed Emily for sending a ser¬ vant lo inqaire my wants, instead of coming herself; I was ever thoughtful for her, and did not desire her to fatigue herself on my acoounti but when I became convalescent, I could not but notice that the messages from George were lea* frequent, and tha bouqueia had ceased al¬ together. One pleasant afternoon, while sit¬ ting up in bed, I aroused my grandmother, and asked why Emily did not come and bring her work to my room.
* * Oh, dear me ! yea,' she answered,' I won¬ der she don't aometimes como and sit longer with you,"but she is almost always wiih one or the other of thoae fellows—I believe ii is Erwin TUIS afternoon, and indeed no one but Erwin seems to do now-a-days,' saying which, the dear old lady, not understanding anylhing of the matter, went back to her dozing. What eared I for lhe glorioua sunlight thai streamed in at the open window, bb if mocking my misery ! what cared I lo recover from my illness only to flnd myself supplanted by the sister whom I had almost worshipped?—lo have the irulh forced upon rao ihal both sha and George had outraged my best feelings while I was sick, suf¬ fering, and all unconsciouc oftheir treachery— think you, Lucy it was a Jight ihing lo be thus trifled wilh 7*
Lucy was pale as the death engel, when she murmured, *my dear aunt Bertha, you musl have boen a long time recovering from so ter- riblo a blow.*
Knowing the worst at once, I had nothing more to fear, dear Lucy, and beiog naturally high spirited, I had lo battle with my resent¬ ment before I could control il. When my grandmother lefl the room to go down to her supper, it was great relief to indulge in tears ; ndignaiion finally gave way to sorrow for my sister's aake, for, after all, I feared her fatal triumph would not bring happinecs to herself.
'Before retiring, that night, Emily came to say good by, and, as I gazed on her marvelous beauty, I more fully comprehended the great temptaiion lo which George had been subject during my illness—indeed, I almost forgave him. I looked so long and earnestly into my sister's eyes, ihat she becama pale and seemed troubled ; ' you will soon bt well, dear Bertha,' ahe aaid,' and then I trust we shall all ha hap¬ py.' * I hope so, too,' I answered,' but what¬ ever I may be, rest assured that I will in no way interfere with your enjoyment.'
* And why ahould you fear ihat ?' she asked tremblingly.
* Alaa!' I replied, * your own heart can betl answer wbat my tongue is powerless lo uller ; do you know, my siaier, that on this aick bod strange mysteries have becn revealed to me— old things are done away, and it haa been shown mo tbat when I again take my accustomed place among you, no loving hearts will welcome my reiurn. Tell Biai, Emily, that I am able to sit up now, and strong enough to bear the once longed for interview, yet for bis saka I wish it no longer—say lo him, that strong as was the love I once bore, stronger aiill is my wish fnr hia happiness, and if that is gained, no reproach¬ es of mine shall ever trouble his felicity,
' Beriha,* exclaimed Emily, as sho knelt weeping at my bed-side,' Bertha, my suffering sister, you are an angel, ripe for heaven, while I—oh ! I am more wicked than your pure heart can imagine. I have no faiih in myself, and no power lo struggle. I am very unhappy, and have fearful misgivings ihat I shall never be anything else.
' Beriha, do you think it quite posaible for ma to undo this lerrible evil and restore what you call the old ordor of things ; give mc, I im¬ plore you some hope that ihis may be accom¬ plished; could you then not foget all this, and be happy as beforo your illness ?*
'Lucy I shudder at iha fearful import of your mother's words; I could understand a nature thai ihought so lightly of it« reiponai- bilities,and more than all I wonderbow Uttle aha aeemca u^^ .^ nnoreciato the injury she had inflicted Upon myself, to talk of repairing it! To deem it possible for her lo restore the faith which bad been so rudely torn from me, nnd undor such trying circumstances ! No, I 7EI.T this could never bc the case and I lold her so. The weak and guilly girl, how ahe clung to me and wept; but after a while she grew more composed, and begged rne not to discloae this affair lo our grandmother, nor to our dear Frank; for said she, ' ho would never for¬ give me; only promise me this, dear Beriha, and I will not pain you by again mentioning thia unfortunate subject,' and I promised all she wished, for I was weary; she bade me good night, kissed me, and retired to her room. ' Well, Lucy, lo make a long atory shon, I soon found myself well again, and made my appearance once moro in the family circle, could not well avoid meeting Georgo Erwi who was frequently with Emily, but I never by word or look gave him cause lo remember that he had ever been any thing to me ; he al¬ ways aeemed ill at ease in my pretence and aometimes my sister would shock mo by ap¬ pearing much relieved, when his visits wore ovor. Can it be possible, thought I, that Emi¬ ly is already weary of her conquest, will she presume to trifle with a heart so dearly pur¬ chased 7 I asked no questions aod noihing was told rae.
* By-and-bye camo aletter from Frank, in¬ forming us of his intention to visit the oity witj^ a college friend, and inviting ub to meet him there, to have, as he said, a gay time to¬ gether. I was glad of any change, and imme¬ diately assented to the proposal if agreeable to Emily's wishes. What was my surprise lo flnd her perfectly delighted with the proapect, but said I, 'what will George do in your ab¬ sence I '
' Never mind George now,' said she ; ' I dare say ho will do well enough, only keop my secret as you promised and I will manage the rest.'
'Manage the'rast! and she did manage it, though she saw not then how it would all work lo her undoing.
Wo met our brother Frank in the city whero he introduced ut to his noblo looking friend, Herbert Winston.*
Herbert Winston I * exclaimed Lucy,' why, aunt Bertha, that is my father's name.'
* Yes, Lucy, that was your father, and that their first meeting; Horberi was evidently prepared to fall at once in lovo wilh Emily from Frank's continual praises of her loveli¬ ness, and from his embarrassed greeting, I think she fully realized hia expeclationi. We ceriainly had a gay time logeiher ; Frank al¬ ways wailing on mo and his friend on my sis¬ ter, who seemed fullof innocent and joyous apirils, ready for every thing and enchanted with all; but I, who narrowly watched her, believed her reckless and pitied her. Frank, in our walks, could scarcely talk of any thing but his college friend; indeed he would say, *I know of no one else to whom I would be wil¬ ting to trust Emily's happiness—he is ao honest, truthful, aensitivo and good himself, that he cannot tolerate, with patience, any thing mean in others. Don't you think, Bertha, it is tho hest match that over waa ihought of 7 and don't you think thai Emily already appreciates him?'and Frank did not take notice that I took speoial caro to reply only to his last ques¬ tion, for how could I nervo myself to crush'his happiness by exposing my sister's failings, and that, too, against my promise. Emily could not help loving Herbet Winston, he waa so dif¬ ferent from any ona she had ever seen j his I quiet manners and  superior charaoter, were
impoasible for your nature to understand mine, 1 indeed deceived him, and henceforth his confi-
and I oannot tell you any thing of my misery.'  dence was gone—his happiness over.   Never
* Cue night she sat up late writing a letter;  again could ho believe aught that fell from her
ihings she unconsciously bowed to j thay both charmed and awed her when sho took time to romember her own unworthincst. I hoped sbe would talk tome on the aubject,but ao far from that, she trembled when we were alone, fearing I would broach tho theme myself.
'To feel less lonely iu our boarding honse, we occupied the same room, and sometimes I was awakened in ihs night by Emily's sobs; then I would endeavor to win her confidenoa in order to soothe her, but iho could only say, 'No, no! sister, yoa cannot holp mej yoa would oaly despiso rao for my weakuosa; it is
thoogh I was in bed I waa not asleep yot. I pretended to be so in order to relievo her from any fear of my questions; well she wrote and Wroto nniii the sheet was nearly full, Ihen sha folded, direcied and sealed it, as if her purpose Wat firm not to alter a word of its contents, and qaietly placing it in a drawer of the dres¬ sing table, she hurriedly undreased and crept into bed. Being very tired she wat aoon in a sound aleep, and knowing ihia, I waa templed boyond resitlauce to see the superscription of her letter, ao I itealthily aroae and openod the drawer.
' The wafer was yet damp and I might easi¬ ly have opened it, bat did not. George Er- win's name met my sight and I wat satisfied that the letter contained the death blow to his hopes—the day of his retribution had como; yet I did not rejoice at this, I only sorrowed fer Emily and wondered how ihrough each day she eould deok her face with smiles and appear happy. As I returned to bed I eaw ahe was still sleeping peacefully; aurely, ihought I, she oannot be wicked, aho is only thoughtless, but certainly very ibQUghilees and porhaps, at ibis time, desperate.
' Well it was at length agreed that we should all reiurn logether to our grandmother's. Frank, having finiahed his collegiato course, grew somewhat impatient to be again at horae, and ho itiwitfld Herbert lo aacompnny ns. I thirst for my sialer'a sake, and Herbert was only glad to be any where wilh her ; he wanted, he aaid, to see the spot where so lovely a flower had been nurtured, and Emily gracefully thanked him for so kind a wish, ihough I beUeve she was frightened at the idea of his hearing in our neighborhood disadvantageous reports of her.
* We reached our quiet home in safely, and Herbet Winston soon proposed in due form for thc hand of EmJly ; our grandmother was ta¬ ken all aback at tho news, for she alwaya thought if we settled at all, it would be near her in our native county ; and ahe hardly liked Emily's going away, as she aaid, nobody knew wbero, and that too with a strange man.
It does beat all,' aaid the old lady,' I'm aure I nover interfered with tha child'a affairs, in any way, but aiill I could'nt help aeeing some things, and that Erwin med to be here ao much I thought she loved hira; ahe must like new faces, I suppose, and as aho faaa always had faer own way, itt no use now to say any thing.*
* These remarks produced so much uneasi¬ ness in the mind of Herbert, that he privately entreated me lo explain my grandmother's meaning. ' It is,'he said, 'necessary to my happinesa to know that the woman of my choice gives me all her heart and thewhole wealth of her first affections ; * butseeinglhe etnbari^asament wbich I could not conceal, he immedialely relieved me by saying, 'Miss Bertha, cxcuso me for asking you a question which your sister aione must answer ; 1 can¬ not doubt lhe truth of any thing from her lips, and har reply will entirely aatisfy me.'
' After an interview wilh Emily, he camo to me radiant wiih happiness.  ' I am the most favored  df men, dear   Bertha,* said  be,' and you must   Iearn to love  me as  a brother, for I am soon to be united to your own sister.    We shall live in the city, and you must go with us where  will we try to find a beau to Youit fan¬ cy.*    I thanked faim for  his kindness, and that was all I could  say, for my  heart  was heavy with forebodings.    That night, after Emily had retired, I sought  her room, and  found her ap¬ parently easy in her mind and full of joyous an¬ ticipations.    ' It not my future most gloriously bright 7 ' tho   enquired, as  the   pul   her   arms around my   nect and said she   never loved mo half so well at now.    * Emily,'said I,  'listen to me   paiiently for the last time on  tha sub¬ ject of your present happiness.    You remember the limo when I considered myself very, veet happy, and you know  that when I was revel¬ ling in that, a horrible gulf opened beneath my foet and  swallowed   it all.    The  only ray  of comfort Z bao waa tho conifciousness or   uaving dono no  intentional wrong, and  that enabled me to bear the blow camly ;   it taught me also to believe that a high  degree of  felicity is not far removed from  misery, and 1 am strong in lho faith that  nothing hul  moderate happiness ia right, and   even th.^t must have  a sure and firm  foundaiion.    Is  this your case, my pre^ cioua siater-—have you a just title to your pres¬ ent enjoyment—have you given   all your con¬ fldence to the noblo-minded man whom you in¬ tend to make your husband, or have you cruel¬ ly and wilfully deceived him I    It ia not yei loo lale, Emily, to  tell him  nil fae faas every right to know;   loving you eo  devotedly, he   would forgive  almost  anything now ;  you  need not fear to rely on his generosity, bul lho lime :hay come and will come [unlets you do this] when leara  and repentance will not  avail you ;   you will  flnd  this  deception  a fearful   skeleton, haunting you at all times in your future home. I implore you, Emily, to allow me  to say to him what you may deem beyond your strength.' ' While I wat speaking, tho very bed-clothes ahook above faer, so  violent was her emotion, and when  I concluded, ahe raised  heraelf, sat upright,  antl looking sorrowfully  and  sternly at me,the  said,  'Bertha Warren,   the  proper time  for  thia discloaure  is past;  ifl  were to tell him now, I feel that  I should   forever lose the lovo of  Herbert Winston, and  I know ihat I could not  live without  it;  you do not know him, ao I do, and you cannot understand the fearful risk.    Now   liaten   to mo  for  the last time on ihe subject.    If you presume, by word or look, 10 inform him of my  former engage- , menl, henceforth you ore no  sister of mine, so good night.'    And thut I left her.
'Tha lime wenl on, preparations were duly mado, tbe bridal day dawned beautifully and ihey wera married; married at laat and Emi¬ ly was triumphant.
Before leaving tor their city home, many parlies wero made in tfaeir honor, and Frank would not allow ut to decline any invitations; he said ho wanted all tho natives to have a •hancp to admire the happy and graceful coup¬ le who wero born for oach other. We fre¬ quenily met George Erwin, who treated ray siater merely as an acquaintance; yet ihere was something in his look when ho gazed on her that made me tremble. I thiuk he wished to recover the place he held in my affectiona, and if aucceasful, ho would have spared Emily, but I steadily refused all his advances, and he, diaappointed on all sides, determined to revenge himself for the suffering he had known, with¬ out considering iho wound he had inflicted on anoihor.
* In those days, Lucy, wine was served on all festive occasions, (the poison is not so eora¬ raon now) and 1 noticed thai George partook of it freely. One faial evening fae drank largely, as if nerving faimself for a greatand painful ef¬ fort, and when his spirits rose to a desperate height and he had attracted the attention of the whole company, he advanced toward Emily, glass in hand, saying, 'Allow rae, dear madam, to drink your faenlih and happiness; to your wonderous beauty, too, which 1 hope will be more lasting thon" your teuth ; and in your married life, may no memory of a broken en gagement with George Erwin interfere wiih your felioiiy, and no regreta for the poor heart you traroplod upon, in order to reach mine, ever disturb your repose ;' then, turning lo me, he continued, ' here's to Bertha Warren, nol beautiful in face, but holy in spirit, calm in ad¬ versity, and true to her high and noble sense of duly. I here publicly justify her contempt for myself. I dearly loved her onoe, now I wor¬ ship her for her meek endurance of tfae wrong sfao received at the hand of a siitsr, whom she haa always fondly cherished.'
'Well Lucy, yon may imagine tfae scene that followed : the company, utterly astonished, broke up in dismay. Frank was In a rage, and Herbert—poor Herbert 1 I cannot describe the ghastliness of his face or tbe quivering of his lip as he knelt before my sister, took her hand and said, * For the sake of the wild love I have borno yon, and for sweet mercy's sake, tell me, Emily, that tho men is mod and has accused yocL falsely.' My sister was overwhelm¬ ed and eonld not aiuwor i oneJPDS, earnest Icok mfflaed Um; th« wife ha had vhoian fctd

Long years of anffering and atonement have pasaed since then, dear Lucy, and I be¬ lieve your mother's penitence ia sincere; but your senaitivo faiher hai never quite recovered the shock his best feelings encountered that evening. Sometimes the old spell comes over faim and ho treats her at such periods with all tenderness as if she were completely restored to his confidence, tfaen days of abstraction will follow, and Emily must bo really changed in faeart or sbo could not endure fais coldness with such sweet and sorrowful resignation. Do you not think, Lucy, she faas suffered onough for the only fault she ever committed, and that so long ago 7 '

Dzw.—The phenomenon of dew, altfaougfa ono of mystery to those unacquainted with the laws of heat, is still easily explained by those laws. Dew is the result of an alteration of temperature after aunset. It is a well known fact that all bodies receive a eertiin qu*»»;*y of heat, which is emitted under particular cir¬ cumstances ; in suoh cases they become colder, unleas they receive another quantity of heat sufficient to compensate for the loss they have sustained. When, then, the object so cooled is encompassed by a warm and moiet medium, it condenses, by its cold contact, vapor on ita surface, and thereby becomes moistened. Tfaia is a prime luw of heat, and hence the origin of dew ; for no sooner does tho fiun set, thau the blades of grass, plant--, &c.,give out or radiate the heat which tfaey have been receiving dur¬ ing the day. Their temperature falls below that of tho surrounding air, which does not lose its heat so quickly. The air is not only warmer bnt it contains moisture, and accord¬ ing to the law-givers, this moisture condenses in the form of amall drops, upon surrounding objects which are colder; in other words, dew forms upon the graas, plants, &o. Tfae temper¬ ature of the objecta at whioh thia decomposi¬ tion of moisture takes place, is called '* the dew point," and for the formation of dew il must always be lower, that is, colder than the surrounding air. Moreover, the qimntity of dew formed will always bo in proportion to tha coldness of the grass and to the quantity of moiflturo in the air. It will be observed that dew is formed more copiously during the preva¬ lence of westerly or southerly winds than dur¬ ing easterly or northly wiuds.because the form¬ er are generally pregnated with more moisture. If thc night bc calm and clear, the grassy blades emit their heat freely, and it ia dispers¬ ed through the air wkhout return, whereby the temperature of tho grass soon sinks low enough to condense tho surrounding vapor; but if, instead of this, the night be cloudy, then the clouds reflect the rays of emitted heat bnck again to the grsesy blaaes, and prevent the diminution so that less dew ia then deposi¬ ted. If, in addition to the clouda, the weather be windy, no dew will be formed, for the tem- peroturo of the grass is then prevented sink¬ ing by the agitation of thc ftir, by which a warmer current is continually brought to suc¬ ceed the colder current by which it is surround¬ ed. Hence, if during the night the weather, from having been calm and serene, becomes windy and cloudy, not only will dew ceaae to form, but that already deposited, will be di¬ minished.
Every kind of covering or shelter which ex¬ tends nbove any object, will interrupt tbe ra¬ diation or eaoape of ita heat; for which reason gardncrs, to prevent plants being chilled, cov¬ er them on approach of evening wilh a layer of straw or matting. Different objects condense dew according to their different powers of ra¬ diation, or in other words, according to the fa^ cility with which they become cold.
