LOVE'S L ABOU LOST.
**He loves ni*4—he lovea me not—he loves me!" Very jiretty is <.he scene where Mar¬ garet consaits the fates by ancli botannmaiicy. Leaf aftrr leaf of the flower fails Fauat bends over the inuocent littlo head, and watches the eager finder.-, and listens wouderini^ly to the scarce altered word:^. Then the last leaf aud the burst of wild delight, '* He loves me I'J "Yes, yea, my lore," says Faust; "he loves thee I He lores ihee !"
,_In thia case, however, Faost waa nol pre¬ sent. Margaret sat on the smooth lawn of a trim garden, under a gre.at elm tree—in the cool shade, while all else qnivered iu heat and light. Margaret pulled her flower to pieces deliberately enough. Her little white hands were methodical aod steady. She beat time with a mouse of a foot as each petal fell. No burst of rapture .a^ she plucked th e lasl from tbe stalk. Perhaps the uouulusiim was negative, uo affirmative ; so she threw the stalk away, too. The answer of the fates she consulted was clearly unsatisfactory— ambiguous, doubtless, a^i snch answers are wont to be—thereforo she took another flower from her lap, aud tried agaiu. Still an am¬ biguous answer. She pulled to pieces another and auother, until the grass round her was covered with the debris. A gust of wind from the hot easl camo and scattered the flower-fragments far and wide, Uke Sibyliue leaves. Ouly tbe stalks remained; and at these the mouse-foot nibbled, giving them little petulant kicks and stamps; drawing them nearer, pushing them away, then de Belting tliem wholly and retiring out of sight. Such sort of botanomanoy, it was manifest, was of little avail. Our Margaret had a hrtrder question wherewith to pose the fates thau " Does he love me F" She could answer that herself, heing wiser in her generation than a lover-sick peasant girl.
"When ayoung lady has ascertained, not only that he loves her, hnt that a dozen he^s love her, a much more diffcult question arises, namely—" Whom shall I love ?" or, rather " Whom shall I marry ?" Julia discusses this question with her soubrette Lucetta ; Portia withhersoubretteXerissn. The young lady under the elm tree was more discreet; she confiued the services of her maid to hair- dressing, and revolved such matters in her own Uttle head—a wise and cool btad, not muoh plagued by heart-throbblings. She ceased to pull flowers to pieces, and began to slip a tiny ring up and down a tiny finger, (The ring was "a peck too wide.") Dactylo- mancy might aucceed where botanomancy failed.
A young mau camo rapidly across the lawn and stood before her.
"Oh, how you have frightened me!" she said, in the calmest manner. " Will you sit down ?" Sho made room beside her. " What a hot day f"
He sat down silent for fully a minute. His voice died in his throat, trembled, and strug¬ gled, and choked. His eyes were wild and moift:—a foolish young man.
"Margaret," he cried at length, "for God's sake tell me if what I hear is true 1 Is it really true—0 my God!—ia it really true
that you are—that you are^ "
"What ?'* she interrupted, in innocent sur¬ prise, " What have you heard ?"
" That—that—it is a lie, I know it is—^you are engage to be married to Mr. Bowring !"
She was silent.   Uer eyelids  dropped.— The foot nearest to him came out, and began to beat tlie devil's tattoo close to h=s foot One hand glided over the other, and hid the ring with which she had been playing.
"Do yon think that is a prop r question for you to ask?" she satd, mildly. "Ought I to answer it ?"'
" It is true, then ?" he cried, p?.5sionately. "You hare deceived ti:e ! You hive played wilh me ?"
This and much more. Then there was a lull in the storm, aud his moud changed.
'*0h, forgive me, Margaret, forgive me! I am mad, and du not know-what I say.— Perhaps it is not true. You said it waa uot ? Tell me—ouly one word—yea or no. Oh, darling, we have known each other so long— we are snch old friends—let me know the worst, audi will go aud never see you ag.iin." She did not lift her eyelids. Iler fool slill beat its regular tap close to his. He could feel the vibration. She neither resented his reproaches nor compassionated bia hnmility. *'Do yon think it ia a proper qnestion for you to ask?"' she repeated in precisely lhe same tone.
There was another storm of passion from him; reproaches ungentle and unwise—accu¬ sations, sarcasms and denunciations. He spoke of Mr. Dowring's age ; that he was old enough to he her father ; that it was impossi¬ ble she could love him.
"The excess of age would be on the right side," she said, raising her eyea to his for a moment. "You wonld not have the wife older than the husband 1"
He (the young man now tearing a passion
to tatters) wasyounger than she by two years.
" You never referred to my youth beforp,"
he said, with a bitter langh, " it did uol suit
yonr purpose."
She smiled faintly. It had not suited her pnrpose.
He descanted, much after the fashion of the soliloquizer in " Lockleys-hall," on Mr. Bow- ring's greenness of intell«ct:
••Ib It well to wish thoe happy ?_havlng known me—
to decline On a range of lower feelings and a narrower heart than
Tet It ahaU be: tboa Bhalt lower to bis level dav bv day, ¦      '    '
Wbat Is floe wilhln tbee growing coarse to fiymnathlza ¦with clay."
"I never pretended to be clever," she re¬ plied, with a shrug of her pretty shoulders. " Yon, who are so clever yoturself, must have despised me long ago."
He got up and stood before her. Standing ia the hot son, ho oast a cooler ehade over tl^
lady.    Her feet followed his, and BtlU vibra¬ ted oQ tbe grass in closest proximitj.
" You cannot love this man," he said ; *' it is impossible. Oh, Margaret, yon oannot mean to sell yourself, for money; your beauty— yonr beauty—Oh, it ^rivea me mad I—to sell your soul; to contaminate yonr purity; to barter your flesh and blood; to put a price
upon yonr kisses "
" You forget you are speaking to a lady," she interrupted, in a lone more soothing tban angry, " You will thiuk more wisely on theae matters when you are older. Love in a cot¬ tage reads very pretty in yonr poets, but this worhi is sadly practical."
Both were ailent. Margaret suppressed a yawn, " How is your father ?" she asked af¬ ter a time, willing lo change >be conversatiou. He had been thinking; recalling all the past—remenihering many a love-passage known only to him and her.
"Margaret," he said at last, not noticing her question, "either you have lied to  me deliberately for years, oryou love me.   Either you have not the seuse of modest sbame, or yon love me.   You do love me,"   hn broke out more passionately, *' you do love me." Again she shrugged her shoulders. " I have always had a great regard for you as a friend—I shall always have a great regard for you.   I hops we shall always he frieuds." "Friends!" he cried, langhiug. "You had better sit down," she said. "The eun must be very hot."
Love conversations-where they are in the way of billing and coming or of peeking ami claw- iug—are stupid. Robert Seaton (the Faust to our Margaret) continued to riug the same changes as before, love and anger, jealousy and trust, pride and humility alternated.— Now he begged for a definite answer to his firat question ; now he took for granied that the engagemeut was a fact; now that it was not so. He referred to the past—he prophe¬ sied of the future. He exaggerated the past hy reasou of his vivid remembrances, aud tbe fnture hv reason pf his vivid hopes and fears. Meanwhile, Margaret remained calm and im¬ passive.
Somelimes we see young ladies of forty wbo bave the hearts and beads of twenty.— Margaret at twenty-two had the heart and head of forty. She was warm blooded, cold hearted. Her cool, clear reason would have had a sinecure if its sole office had beeu to overruM the heart indiuatious. It had other work to do. She was a consnmate coquette, and, as with all coquettes, her temperament was ardent. She had a boundless appeiite for passionate admiration. Like Cleopatra in the mood, she said to every mau, "Come here that I may look ou thee." This instinctive pleasure, primarily natural, was wisely gov¬ erned by her reason. She knew bow far, to what extreme limit, she might indulge this pleasure. She knew how to systematize this natural iuatiuct into au art, and to make it a means towards aivautageoua ends. She had what is called a good temper—a supremely good temper; ao good, in her case, that it ceased to be temper at all. The irascible waa undeveloped iu her disposition. As she had not the power of love, so neither had she that of anger. What rudiments of a heart she possessed were inclined towards Seaton. She took herself to task for acknowledging a vague regret that circumstances prevented her from marrying bim. "If Bowring," she thought, "had not fallen in love with me, the other would not have been so bad a match." And theu, according to the promptings of her conveational religion, she chided herself for being ungrateful to Providence for the bene¬ fits which it threw in her way.
Even now, while she listened to the violent, the unmanly reproaches of Seaton, she expe¬ rienced from tbem a sort of pleasure. "How mnch he loves me !" she thought, wondering¬ ly. The storm of bis passion was a mystery to her. She could comprehend a momentary tumult of the hlood when eye met eye or hand pressed hand ; but such anguish of the heart was like a tragic scene spoken before her in an unknown tongue. Her limited im¬ agination tried to realize what it all meant; how such things could be; and she drew what feeble sketch it wjis possible for her to draw.
Of a surety, in our owu eyes is wbat we see ; iu our own fancy are the objects which we love or hate. It was not for the man who stood hefore her that Margaret felt her feeble preference ; it waa nol this verititble Margaret whom Beaton loved. Even apart from hia passion, he looked upon this dreaded union as it were au union between a Caliban and a Mirandi—something loathsome and unnatur¬ al, which would people the whole earth with monstrous shapes; whereas Margaret was no Mirandi, nor Bowring a Caliban. Bowring— an honest countryman of good blood, great fortune, had taste, and small wit—deserved a far belter wife than Margaret. He was a man having much more self-command and com¬ mon sense than the would be Ferdinand.— How many a comedy, or tragedy, farce of Er¬ rors enacts itself daily 1
Robert Seaton was by natnre too sensitive ; and he bad not lived loug enongh to discover and to guard against this super-sensitive¬ ness. He was jealous—as all sensitive men are in love-matters. He wonld long ago have wearied out any temper but that of Margaret. He S.1W with the eyes of a Leontes, and detec¬ ted "paddling palms and pinching fingers" where none such were. Iu like manner he over-estimated any trifling love favors grant¬ ed to himself. Margaret, however, it must be confessed, had giveu him safficient cause for both jealouijy and self-deception'. There had never heen any engagement hetween them. Sealon was dependent on his father, and, though an only son, had no great expec¬ tations. Margaret had carefully avoided bringing mattera to a crisis. There was plenty of lime—she was but twenty-two : he was only twenty. She had valued her bean¬ ty at a fair price, and knew tbat it wns worth more than Seaton could *give for it. Even supposing no belter suitor ofl'ered, he was not yet sufficiently settled in the world to marry; and there conld be no nse in bindiug herself to him too soon. She was not afraid ofhia escaping her.
The skilful UTjgler plays with his fi.^h with no uncertainty of lauding it at Ust. While Margarel felt herself perfeclly free, Robert felt thai they were bound lo each other by a tacit engagemeut. This view of Roberfa Margar»it knew; hut of course she could not help wbat he cliose lo think. Tuns while she accepted all hia devotion of passionate lore .13 mere gallantry, he believed that by her very acceptance, by the evident pleasnre she had in receiving this devotion, she ac¬ knowledged a love in retnrn. It was in his eyes an honorable compact between them, which he would as aoou have broken himself as have thought that sbe could br<iak. He was waiting ouly until his worldly affairs were in a more certaiu coudition to consum- male his love iu marriage. In a year he wonld become a partner in a mercantilr house which traded to India, in place of his father, wbo retired. Only one year, and be could marry.
Snch was the state of things when Mr. Bowring came npon the scene. Margaret could not waver between them. What pru¬ deut young persou could hesitate hetween landed estates, worth ten thonsand a year, and a probable competency arisiug from trade wilh India 1 The one was immediale and certain ; the other was liable to all the acci¬ dents of the future and of fortune. The rank of the country gentleman was preferable to that of lhe merchant. Bowring was his own master; while, as yet, Seaton was totally de¬ pendent on his father. As we have said, Margaret felt at first that
vague sort of regret amounting to little more than she could have been satisfied had it been otherwise. This regret occurred to her as she passed from the old lover to the new; there was uo hesitation of choice.—
ted, the postbiUty of her ever baving thought of marrying Seaton waa^ dfsosrded from ber mind. Tbls was really virtuous in her. She felt that self-approbation whioh only virtue can bring. The anvAUtages ou the score of age, of intelleot, and of pergonal appearance, whioh Seaton had over Bowring, anfficed to mingle just that sploe of aelf-saorifioe whioh every virtnous aot must possess.
Margaret had expeoted a soene with Seat- on, and she prepared for il. She was armed at all points, intrenched on all sides. She had promised notbiug ; she bad never dream¬ ed of Seaton aa anything but a friend. If he had seen reason to gather more than that from ber condnot she waa grieved. Had she known that her conduct would have been so interpreted, she would have been much more carefnl ; bnt any mistakes that had ariaen mnst be imputed to her innocence, and to misconception thereof. Seaton, as a friend, had no right to inquire into her presenter fu¬ ture intentions. This was heriine of defence should ahe be hard-pressed, but her chief tac¬ tics consisted in saying as liltle as possible.
To her impassibility Seaton vainly opposed his passion. Yaiuly he begged or demanded a definite answer. Vainly he referred to the past, which Margaret had conscientiously dis¬ carded from her miud. He believed against belief, and clung lo his phantom Margaret in deaperation. It was difficult to conceive the fall of an angel. All his life, past and lo come, must be swept away with ber. There was nol a thought, or sensation, or feeliug, in which she had not a part; there was no bope or expectation ofwhich she was not the es¬ sence ; he could not picture to himself a life apart from her.
He flung himself on his knee, and seized her hand, and burst into a passiou of tears over it. She did not take it from him. It was the prettiest hand in the world. Shakes' pere might have lavished all his marveloua epitheta upon it;—"white wonder," " fiower soft,"—what wa.s it not ?
Suddeuiy ho espied the ring, wbich ahe had hitherto concealed. She wore other rin^s— mai»y of them, (one pitied the small fingers so burdened) but he knew the others by heart—this was new. " Where did you get thia ring?" he demanded, atarting to bia feet'
She hesitated a moment aud theu anawered quietly, "Mr. Bowrinc gave it to me,"
He threw the hand from bim and went.
Poor little haud. It fell heavily on the hack of the garden seat; it was bruised and cut with the ring. The blood mounted toher cbeeks; ahe bit her lips, and stifled a cry ; tears filled her eyes. She could feel physical paiu. She did not resent even this. After a moment she examined the wounded haud, aud saw with concern that it was red aud swollen ; sbe examined the ring and fonud that it was bent. She got up and went to¬ wards the house. Before she reached the open window Bowring met her.
" I have hurt my hand," she said. " Pity me!"
He tried to take it in his.
" No," she said ; " not that oue, the other."
She gave him her other hand, aud hid the wounded oue behind her; she was aahamed of the defect in ils beauty.
• » • • • ¦ a
Soon after this, Robert Seaton went to ludia. He was sick at heart, and longed for change. Margaret was to be married to Bowring : the afl'air waa decided. Ail that he had to do was to forget. He applied to busiuess with ten¬ fold ardor; not with the thought of Margaret as his incentive now, but in the endeavor lo drive away remembrance of her. He set sail full of schemes forthe extensionandimprove- ment of the India branch of the mercantile honse into which he waa to be admitted as a partner. Little as tbe sameness of the long weary voyage waa calculated lo make him forget, he had recovered his heart, or the most part of it, before he reached India.— Violent passions are alwaya the least lasting, they burn themselves ont when the supply of fuel ceases, and leave but a few ashes which, by and by, a chance wiud blows away.
Twenty years had passed, and on the same garden seat Margaret sat again. It'was a summer day, as it had been before. There was but little change in the garden. Some few young trees had grown mature; there was a thicker covering of ivy on on the trunk of the old elm, and one of its huge branches had been carried away by a storm, so that Margaret's favorite Seat was less shaded than it nsed lo be. The lawn was coated with soft moss, which had spread among the grass roots year by year.
Tweniy years—which make bat little change iu an elm tree—are a third of ordinary human life. Twenty years change the child into the blooming woman, and again deprive the woman of ber bloom. Time, however, had passed lightly over Margaret. At a little distance one could delect no change from the Margaretoftwentytwo. She was pretty still. She had lost her fir.-;t bloom and freshness ; she was a little thinner ; her hair was less luxuriant; there were faint lines upon her forehead. But she retained much of her old charms; her eyes were as fine as ever, her hands and feel as pretty, her shape scarcely less symmetrical, her manner aa fascinating. A critical observer might perceive a greater elaboration of toilette than of old. Art did all that could be done for failing nature. A hat (not too juvenile^shaded her face, and she kept her gloves on scrupulously, even in the shade—gloves with gauutlets, which made her hands looked smaller than they were.— She was careful lo preserve whal yet remain¬ ed to her ofher beauty.
To look at her, and lo dream ofthe age of forty, seemed preposterous. Aud yet Mar¬ garet had had her disappointments. She was unmarried still. A quarrel had arisen be¬ tween her and Bowring. There were censori¬ ous tongues in the neighborhood, edged y«j more keenly by the knowledge thatthe tones they nttered were leas sweet than Margaret's. Mamma's who had plaiu daughters, and the plain daughters themselves, called her flirt and prononnced those fascinatious disgrace¬ ful which were impossible for Ihetu.
Bowring was a plain man , who, in buying a wife, looked lo hare a warranty with her.— Hh inquired nnpleasanlly abont the past; he demanded more preseut devotiou thau it was possible for her lo give. Margaret had not the power to resist that desire of pleasing which was natural to her. Because Bowring wafl to be her husband, that was no reason why she shoald cease to he attractive to ali other men. The rattlesnake (it is popularly supposed) gaius its daily food by the process of charming. Margaret deprived of her fac¬ ulty of charming would have died of inanition. So the engagement waa gradually broken through—worn away by a series of small dis_ agreements. Margaret, in the midat of her sorrow, had a vague aense of relief, just as she had a vague sense of regret in pasaing over from Seaton to Bowriug. Time passed • Margaret had alwaya plenty of admirera, bu^ no declared lover. The men were faacinaled by her, and feared ber.
" The greatest success a woman can achieve," aomebody has said, " is, thai she should not he talked about." Meu di.l talk about Mar¬ garet. Time pasaed on ; her sisters were mar¬ ried oue after the other, and she, the eldest, and by far tbe moat beantifal. remained nin- gle. Her father died ; she and her mother were left.. With tbe father'a death mneh of their income, ariaing from an entailed estate, passed away from them. She and her moth¬ er, who was aged and infirm, were left in straightened circumstances. She nursed her mother diligently, paying her all the outward
observances of a good and affectionate daugh¬ ter. What degree of real love ahe had it would be impossible to discover. Theywere so much alike, and so bad a mutual sympa¬ thy at all events.   From hermother, Margar-
Bowring^a superior olL-jM being onoe admit-' et had inherited her feabU heart,  and hy
means of her mother^s early leasons this fee¬ ble heart faad been oraefaed more and more. From her she had learned to estimate her beanty aa the price wherewith to purchase a good settlement in life; had learned to pre. aerve this beaaty, to enhanoe it and adorn it 83 her most preolons posaession. Even now, in their narrow oircnmstances, the moat ex- pen.sive item of their honshold economy waa the wages of Margaret's maid. The pretty daughter had always been the mother'a favor¬ ite, as the one who wan to marry the first and to marry the best. All the molher's hopes had heen disappointed ; Margaret had often to jsear querulous complainings and reproach¬ es. That one impulae of her nature, namely, appetite for indiscriminate admiration, to whioh Margaret Lad given rein, had] ruined everything. If ahe bad but heen content to repreaa all the feeling and sensations bom with her—to become wholly a machine I
Margaret had had her disappointments, and for some time now her life had been but a weary repetition of itself from day to day. Nevertheless, the change in her was marvel¬ ously small. Her lack of atrong feeling, her lack of th'e irasoible, had kept her forehead smooth and her completion fresh. She had StiU ber amusements, still a small court of admirera, who whiled away the heavy time. Ninon de L'Eucloa, aay the biography books, was the object of a violent attachment at sev¬ enty. At forty Margaret did not find it diffi cult lo retain the allegiance of her court; thongh young girls sneered at her, aud pro¬ nonnced tbat it was time for her lo give place. She had ceased to rival them openly ; she no longer disputed their regality in theball-room; but some men found the quiet garden-seat a very pleasaut spot, and left the rising beaaty to pay homage there. There was the lean dootor, and the fat curate, and a conntry 'squire or two who had been in love with her long ago, and who kept up tht-ir fealty as a remembrance of their youth. There was the vicar's son, when at home from college, wbo was youug enough lo be her own child, and whose houest lunacy reminded her of Seaton. Even officers quartered at the neighboring town discovered that she was a pleasant per¬ son to flirt wilh; and clergymen, of opinions high or low, for miles round, fonnd their am - bliug nags carrying them, they acarce knew why, toward her place of audience. She was not likely to die of inanition yet, though sach a prospect was beginning to force itself on ber as what might be—a dreary proapect 1 The man of lettera, whose fai ling eyeaight warns him to lay aaide his booka ; the musician whoae failiug ear begins lo play him false ; tbe man of deeds, whose failing strength for¬ ces him to quit tbe arena—all have remem¬ brances of worthy auccess accomplished. Margaret had achieved nothing. She felt that her beauty was departing from her, and that it had dooe nothiug. She had no triumphs stored up to hold in remembrance when tri¬ umphs should be no longer posaible—a drea¬ ry prospect 1 She would not meet the evil half-way ; she would enjoy what ahe could at tbe piesent ; and then, let the worat come.
Ou thia summer afiernoon when we again introduce jMargaret, a new hope had anes. pectedly dawned upon her—a hope vague aud uncertain, bnt still a hope. We must premise that Mr. Bowring, her huaband that waa to bave beeu, had lately died; his estates had descended ,tn a spendthrift heir, and were now for sale. The fat curate had vaca¬ ted the half of the gardeu-seat just before we withdrew the curtain ; aud the fat curate had relaled the last piece of news current in the neighborhood. Bowring-Hall, with all the demesnes pertaining thereto, was sold ; the purchasers narae was Seaton. He was some Indian merchant, it was reported ; enormous¬ ly rich; related, the curate surmised, to the old Mr. Seaton whom he had buried five years before.   Did Margaret know ?
"Seaton?" she asked—" Robert Seaton !" ** Yes, Robert Seatou—that is the name." Ob, yes, Margaret knew him—had known him, rather. He had left Eugland twenty, tbat is to say, many years ago. And so be had bought Bowring-hall ? He must be very rich 1 Was he coming to live there ? Was he in England ?
The cnrate elated at having such accurate intelligence, proceeded to relate that he was in England ; that orders had been given for tbe fitting up of the honse ; that Mr, Seaton was expected immediately. It was reported that he was unman ieil, and that his benifi- ceuce was princely. He had endowed a church at Bundecund ; aud the curate hoped tbat now they stood a fair chance of getting their own little villnge cbnrch restored.
Margared joined in his gratnlaliona on that subject. The fat curate had a hankering af ter mediievalisms. He dressed in a loug coat without collar, and affected disjointed atti¬ tudes ; bnt bis plumpness was a thorn in his flesh, and he looked more' like a parson of the old school thau of the new. He practised confession unkuown to his vicar. Margaret nsed to enumerate a list of little pseudo sins to hitn with the most charming penitential air. It was a good thing she had none of consequence to confess ; for the curate, poor fonl, could not keep his own counsel, far less other people's. He had more than once given her to understand, in the most delicate man¬ ner, that it was only his steru seuse of duty, as touching the priesthood, that prevented him from wishing lo enter into a more tender relation with her. The curate's news had a nearer inierest for Margaret than its posaible inflaence on the village charch ; bat never¬ theless she talked with him on that favorite topic until he left, as if abe had nothing elae upon her mind- She was glad when he was gone. She sat thinking over the news. "Robert Seaton comiug to settle iu the neigh¬ borhood ; Roberl Seaton the proprietor of Bowring-hall; Robert Seaton slill unmarried; How that man did love me!" she thought. She smiled at the recollection of lhe last scene with him. She was not of a sanguine turn of mind; she was accustomed to look at matters reasonably, leaning neither to the dark nor to the light side. There seemed some hope. Supposing bim to be unmarried, as rumor went, there loas some hope. There was the'faintest palpitation about her heart; she felt a vague gladne.-ia at the news—a gladness which did not spring so much from the fresh proapect opened to her, (that was yet too uncertain) as from an involuntary feeling—the counter part of the vague regret she had experienced in giving him up.
She eutered the bouse through the open window; she gave her mother her medicina, and rearranged the pillows of her easy chair. As she did so she said ; "Mamma, Mr. Seaton has purchased Bowriug-hall."
" Who ?" asked the old lady, quernlously. "Mr. Seaton? Wliy Mr, Seaton haa been dead for ages I"
" Robert Seaton, mamma," she said. " He tbat went to India yeara ago."
" Ah 1" cried tbe old lady, raising herself, as her eyes brightened—"ah, my dear, you will be mistress of Bowring-hall after all!"
" He will change the name of it, " Margaret said, simply.
She went up-stairs to her own room, dis- missed her maid from thence, and sat down opposite the glass. With her forefinger she traced the iucipient lines, scarcely percepti¬ ble, on her forehead. Her face looked dark againat the whiteness of her haud. "Forty," she wag thinking to beraelf—" forty, and he is two years younger. But he cannot look younger than I do.    Men age sooner than
women; and beaidea, thoro is the climate.	
Surely there ia not so much difference in me since be left! I know my face by heart, and I can aee but lillle change. I am glad mam¬ ma looks on hia purchasing Bowring-hall in that light—pshal thia is very foolish! How do I know that he ia not married ?"
Sbe drew off a ring, and, turning her hand narrowly inspected the finger. There waa a little blue mark upon it li^£ a vein. It waa the loar where the bent liiig hod oat into her
finger twenty years before.  Again she smiled t     Poor Margaret aged visibly.   She began to as abe remembered that laat aceon.    It aeem- j lose belief in her beaaty; even beramall feet
misdoubted themselves, and lay hidden and qaiet. She grew grave and taoiturn and sor¬ rowful.
•        ¦•••••
Seaton's daaghter ia about to be married to the vicar's son. Margaret's mother cannot live mnoh longer. I think that in the end Seaton will marry Margaret. However, my friend Mrs. Grundy says, " No, he is not so great a fool as to dream of such a thing."— I do not know, he will want a wife when that Indian girl leaves him. He is a man who, ander his acerb rind, has a heart full of pity; and Margaret's position will be pitiable when ber long and patient watohings and nuraings are over. Further, I think it acaroely possi¬ ble for any man to root out from hia heart utterly all kindness for a woman whom he has once loved. She may play him false; she may become wrinkled and unlovely ; he may know her to be nuworthy of his reapect, he may see that she is unworthy of his ad¬ miration ; but the place tbat ahe once occu¬ pied has remembrance of her atlll. Marga¬ ret's laok of irascibility haa ita pleasant aide as well aa its unpieasaut. I am snre that she loves Seaton as much as it is in her natare to love when she was younger. She had an old head upou her young shoulders ; is it more miraculous that her time of heart juvenility shoald come late in life ?
However, my friend Mrs. Grnndy says "No!" and ahe ia generally, omniscient; ao I mnst take my leave of Margaret as of a spinster—as of a coquette superannuated.
ed but yeaterday. She felt triumphant— only for a moment, however; then ahe deter¬ mined not to give way to dreams and hopes; to expeot nothing; to fear nothiug. Time wonld prov^.
The lean doctor was seated beside her mother when she oame down ; he told her tho aame etory; Bobert Seaton the purchaser of Bowring hall; coming there immediately ; and—no wife 1 She walked with him np and down the lawn before ho left, aa waa her cus¬ tom. She was as calm and amiable as ever. The lean doctor felt as he had often felt be¬ fore—half disposed to make a formal love- declaration 1 Would she have accepted him? I thiuk she wonld. It was too late to throw away a sober certainty for the most brilliant chance. However, the trial was spared her. Had the lean dootor walked the lawn witb her forever, he would never have been more than Aaf/^ disposed to go on hia knees.
Aa the time approached for Sealon'a arrival, the maiu point of intereat about him became, unhappily, more uncertain. It waa asserted clearly by aome that he was married. Ser¬ vants—already arrived at Bowring-hall—had been heard to talk of "their mistress!" Un¬ doubtedly some of the rooma were being fur¬ nished for ladies* use. Still, others persisted in the first story—that he was unmarried.— Margaret ceased to hope. With a wise kind¬ ness, however, she kept the after rumors from her mother'a knowledge, aud suffered her to en'joy her first belief. Poor old lady! the expectation of what was to come revivi¬ fied her. She was more thau ever oritical about Margaret's dress, and scolded tbe maid roundly for fancied neglect.
Sealon arrived on the Satnrday, and ap¬ peared at church on the Sunday. The mo¬ mentuous questiou was settled at once.— There was a lady with him, young and beau¬ tiful, with a rich, dark beanty that apoke of an Italian climale. Margaret, as she caught a glimpse of the girlish face, thonght of ber own forty years. It was the bitterest pang she had ever known. The painful feeling surprised aud alarmed her. it was what ahe had never experienced before. Her reason had failed her for tbe firat time ; ahe had be¬ loved against belief, aud hopedagainst hope. She sat in ber accustomed corner which faced tbe carate, and did not command a view of Seatou's aeat. Her discomfiture didnot even in the firat moment show itself outwardly, and it soon passed away, aud left her com. paratively at her ease. She felt bumbled.'— Her step was lesa elastic as sbe walked home aod her eyes were hent on the gronnd. She bad no anger agaiust Seaton, no envy of the wife. Her chief sorrow waa at her own want of self-command. She acknowledged her foolishness.
Her mother asked eagerly whether Mr. Sealon had been at chnrch. " Yes," she an¬ swered, pouring out the medicine with a steady hand ; " Mr. Seaton was there, and his wife." " His wife!"
The old lady burst into fretful tears ;" at her daughter's dissupointment," she said— not at her own. She railed againat Seaton for being married; ahe pitied and railed against Margaret in the same 1 reath. All the old reproaches came up again. If Marga ret had been but commonly prudent; if she she had not wilfully thrown away the good fortune that was at one time iu her hands!
There is uothiug more wearisome than to have ancient faults and follies called up again and again from the dead—faults which one has acknowledged and repented of—follies on account of which one has nndergone due meed of shame years ago. Repentance aud shame seem lo be frnitless ; the sins are per¬ ennial.
Margaret kept out of her molher's sight ar¬ ranging the pillows at her back. A few tears fell from her eyes silently as the old lady be¬ came raore and more querulous. " Mamma," she aaid at length, " do not scold me to-day. I am not quite myself. Please do not scold me."
She went out into the gardeu, and passed over the into a long shaded walk beyond it. There she walked ap and down, and cried as she had not cried since she was a little child. This walk skirted the vicar's garden, from which it was separated by a low wall. Soou a cheery voice shouted, " May I come over !" And without waiting for an answer, the vicar's son vaulted over the wall and landed by Mar¬ garet's side. Margarel liked him ; liked his honeat, half bashful admiration ; liked, while she smiled at, his steadfast trust and belief in her. He always reminded her of Seaton.— She wished he had not come lo-day; but ac¬ cording to her custom, she made the heat of what could not be helped, and wiped her eyes, and began to talk with him.
" You—you have heen crying I" the boy blurted out in surprise and horror.
Heaven knowa what he would have aaid, in hia foolish, unreasoning sympathy, and what she would have answered, bad not tbey been interrupted by Margaret's maid. Tbere were visitors. "I must go in," she said, "Are my eyes very red ? Come with me." They took one more turn down the lawn. "Yoa are very kind to me," she said, in answer to his protestations of sorrow and sympathy.— " What can you find in me to like ? What doyou care whether I cry or laugh ?
Voicea crossed the lawn, 'and tbere came iu aight Mr. Seaton and the dark girl. Seaton claimed Margaret as an old friend and spoke lo her with perfect ease. Then he introduced the Indian beauty not as hia wife, but as his daughter. Margaret was embarrassed, strange¬ ly so for her. She thoaght of her red eyes, and wondered if that tednesa waa very per¬ ceptible. The girl, then, was not his wife - that was au infinite relief. He had been married. Was his wife still liring ? Why had he come to see them so soon after his ar¬ rival ? There seemed hope forher iu that.— All this she thoaght as sbe walked by his eide, answering hia questions rather thau talking.
He was much changed ; he looked old and worn, and yellow. His face was wrinkled aod hard; its youthful softness and iudecisiou were completely gone: Hia voice and mauner were different. His voice had a set modula¬ tion, was in no way inflected by feelings loo impnlsivB to be disguised. His manner was ironic, or at least ambiguons. Margaret look¬ ed in hia face to see whether he waa speaking in earnest or in jest, and met eyes more im¬ penetrable than his tongue.
They sat down in the old garden seat, just aa they had sat wben they saw each other last. They had, as far as was possible for tbem, changed places. It was Margaret now who was anxious and unquiet, who longed to learu what hope there waa forher. It was he who was impassive. He had taken Margaret at a disadvantage. She waa humbled and sad, aud self-diffident, aa she had never been before. Hd detected her uneasiness and anx¬ iety, and ahe knew that he detected tt. She lacked confidenoe even to bring the little mouse foot into play.
•        «¦•••• The summer went by, and Margaret's hopes ebbed and fl-'wed.   Seaton was  a widower; here was no definite obstacle In the way ; still fae  made no advance.   How ahe had miscalculated when she bad supposed thatin gelling Seaton hack she would get back the Seaton of old days I    Her poor faded coquet¬ ries only moved him to a more sarcastic gal- i lanlry.

WHAT'S THE DIFFEKENCE?
A poor man sat at his window—no, I am wrong, it was the window of his hired house. It was a amall mansion, a little tenement, painted white, and surrounded by richer establishments that seemed to look down with contempt upon their humble neighbor. The occupants of those stately homes were very much annoyed by the simple little chil¬ dren that played on the steps, and generally kept the curtains down on tbe aide that look¬ ed toward them.
But, as I said before, a poor man sat at one of the wiudows overlooking tho street. He waa a thoroughly noble looking man, too, with handsome Roman features, and an eye like a hawk. Wilh tbe exception of hia coarae clothes, he was muob more gentle¬ manly and dignified in fais appearance tfaan any merchant in that princely row.
A pile of bricks had been emptied quite near his doorway ; they were for repaira.— As thia mau looked out, he saw two or tbree little children with bts owu little ones, hum ming and buzzing about the bricks. Tfaeir dainty lillle hands were eager lo fashion houses and bridgea and all sorts of momen tary architecture. Saddenly the poor man bethought him of a pastime of hia owu when he waa a child, and hia heart having retained the pure and sweet emotions of youth through tbe cares and hardships of matnre life, be hastily threw on his hat, und going dowu hH taught them a uew trick. It was this; to place a row of bricks ou end, quite near to each otber, forming a long line ; by touching the last one an impetus is given to each brick by its nest neighbar, aud the row is present; ly swept down iu regalar order. The children clapped their bauds and shouted so loudly that some of tfae rich neighbors, coming to thetr windows, aaw how the little ones were employed, taking lessons in amusement from a poor and almost unknowu man.
"What a fool!" said oue, sneeringly—"I should think the man an overgrown baby.— Seo him laugh 1 See him play I Shame on him—grown man—we mnst call our children in."
And from all those windows went the laugh and the sneer. Men with gold tasselled caps set on perfumed locks laughed tho old mau to scorn ; women in beautifully embroidered robes turned down tbe corners of their pretty lips, and the cfaildren were speedily called in.
Years passed. The poor man had grown rich. Wealth had come to him, not through toil; but it did not corrupt his good heart, his simple tales. Still he loved children aud their sports. He built himself a splendid mansiou, however, and lived iu the style his great revenues permitted.
Again, as iu the daya of yore, thero was a great load of bricks left in the vicinity of his home. Again little children gathered to "play house," and again the man sat watch¬ ing tfaem at his window. Yes, it was his window now—a window whose glass was costly plate; and he sat there no longer the tenant ofa hired house, in coars:j olothes, but attired iu the richest of broadcloth.— Again, as he looked at the buay, beautifr]^ gronp below, hia heart kindled with lhe mem¬ ories of old, and he felt compelled to go down and leach the juveniles bis brick game. So, in a moment after he stood lu their midst and stooping picked up the bricka, arranged them, and set them iu motion.
How the children laughed, and their brigfat eyes sparkled I Tfae noise brought the aris¬ tocratic neighbors to their windows.
" Well, to hosure 1   Tfaere is Mr. B ,
that wealthy gentleman opposite, playing with the children. Isn't it a very pretty sight, dear?"
" Yes ; and what a fiue looking man he is, to be sure. What freshness of heart he must have to enjoy their game with ao much zest 1 I declare it's quite touching!"
" So it is ; they say he haa all of two mil¬ lion.    Hasn't he a fiue Ggure I"
"Splendid! Do see him clap his hands 1 I declare it really brings the tears to my eyes."
" Wipe 'em away, wipe 'em away, Mattie ; they're crocodile tears I" cried a young strip¬ ling of seventeen.
His sister, a maiden lady of au unutterable age, looked'aroand indignantly.
"Fact, sis; they're real crocodile tears, and ru prove it. Wheu I was seven years old, that same gentleman came oat of a little whitehouse and taught ua children that same trick. And, sla, you and mother both called falm au 'old fool !' aa I distinctly remember, and I, for one, received a tremendous injunc¬ tion not speak lo hia children or notice tliem in^any way."
"Nonsense, Fred !" aaid hia aister turning red.
"I knew it was nonsenae ; bnt yoa did it. You called him all sorts of names—a 'ridicu¬ lous old goose,' a 'grown up baby,' and I don't know what. Now here's the same old fellow up to the same old trick ; aed oh ! gracious i tfaere never was such a beautiful, charming; dellghtfal scene ; really I ought to write a poem ou it—guess I will, and entitle it 'Then and Now ;' or 'The Fool Grows Wiser as he Growa Richer.* Wbich would be the beat, sis ?"
"Hold your tongue I" sobbed the lady.
Fred's sarcasm waa not misplaced.
What is called Jthe poor mau's simplicity is entitled the rich man's'sublimity. It the same noble, lender, loviug, great heart standing by the little ones iu hia coarse coat jeered at and insulted with impunity by the rioh, that now benda his fine broadcloth to tfae dust in order to be on a level with the little ones, hut not to fats neigbbors I Poor all hia nobleness was but dress In their eyes. Rich I and his weakness would be heavenly lustres, sinoe their offset wa« the almighty dollar. ''~~

An effort haa bi^eu made in the Legialature of New York, to abolish the office of Coanty Saperintendent, which Is there termed '•School Commissioner;" and re-establishing iu ita place township supervision ; as is now advocated by some in this county ; who are of the opinion that it would be better If the money paid to the County Superiuteudent waa paid to the president or secretary of each Board of Directora, to viait tho schoois, making him a town or towushlp auperiulen- dent.
The matter waa given Into tbe banda of a proper committee, who bavo prepared a very able report, and we recommend its perusal to all who feel any interest upon tfais subject. The report ia eqnally applicable to this sec tion of country, only changing the terms " School Commissiouer," to county auperiu- tendent, and " Town Saperluteudeul," to Township trustee or auperiutendeut:
" The committee on collegea, academies and common schools, on the points to be considered npou the question of abolishing the oflice of school commissioner and re-es¬ tablishing tho office of town auperinteu'tent, report:
1st. The relative efficiency of the two tuodea of Bupervision.
The object ofauy supervision is to become acquainted with the character uf Che various schools ; tfae methods of iustruciiou ; their comparitlve merit; the conditiou of the school houses; the degree of interest mauifes¬ ted by the parents aud patrons ; the efficieu- cy of school officers ; aud perhapa more than all, the standard of qualification of the teach¬ ers, as determined by literary attainments, an enterprising spirit, an intelligeut appro hensiou of the nature aud objects of educa¬ tion, aud the beit methods uf promoting it, aud by skill aud tact as erinced in a success¬ ful experieuce ; aud then, upou tho kuowl edge tbus gaiued, to make such suggestions aud adopt such plans lor improvemeut, as shall bb besl adapted to proiuuie tho object in view.
The more extended and general this surrey of the actual condition aud wauts can he tuade, in urder to secure a wider rauge ol uuit'orm iufluences favorable to Improvemeut, thb more eflicient mast be the actiou fuunded ou tfae Informaiion acquired. The prevahug difficulties aud em bar ras:i meuts iu uue town will uul greatly vary from thoso in a dozeu uther towns iu tho same locality ; heuce the best measures lo improve the coudition of things iu ouo towu, will in all prodability hv equal applicable lo all. Thus from these wilier survbys of the working of llie system, a moro compreheUaivb aud iutelligent idea ut the oduL'atluuai needs of the community cau be gained, a deeper aud more thorough knowledge of the principles of educatioual policy will bo derived, aud a more consistent, thorough and geueral plan of means be adopt- ted to correct existing evils.
Under a separate towu supervision-the standard of qaaliticatiuua for teachers may vary in each towu. It is scarcely possible, indeed, to promote any uniformity iu this reaptfCi, or any concert of actiou for mutual impruvement under a looal tuwu supdrviaiou. On the other haud a auperrisiou by Assem¬ bly districta, tends greatly to promote unifor¬ mity iu plans aud melhuds. aud concert, henub effiuioney of actiou. The commissioner cau demand aud secure a unifurm standard or gra<le uf quaUticatious fur teachers ; cau aee that tbey are uniformly instructed iu the principles and praciice uf teaching; cau see aud counsel them together iu cuuveutions ajd institutes, and thus iuspire them with the zeal and ethusiasm whicb uuiou and sympathy impart.
Again not only doos the supervision of an extended area, give superior facilities fur a general aud comprehensire kuowledgeof the condition of schuols, aud lead to moro thor¬ oughly studied intolligenl and systematic plans of actiun, but this supervision of neces¬ sity must be committed to a class of officers, who will consecrate to il all their time and energies, whu will make the priuciples of ed¬ ucatiou their study aud briug to the survey ofibeir field of labor, a miud disciplined by careful iuvestlgation and laborious study.— It becomes Lis busiuess for tho time being, and if he be prompted hy the common ambi tion of man, he cau bo but extremely solic¬ itous of the highest succeas, whicfa industry will serve to impart lo his administration.
He cau thus exert an exteuded Iulluence, uniform, systematic, intelligent and effective, over the minds, feelinga and actiun of the patrons of schools, aud of tfaose upon whom chiefly tfae success and ef&cieucy of the schools mu.m depend, tbe teachers.
A concert of action to effect a common pur¬ pose, by a system of uniform means aud a commuuity of feeling and interest, inspiriug all with a laudible desire to excel, will thus bu promoted.
Bat what a divided supervision, snch as towns afford, each town Is Isolated from all others in Its feeling, iu its knowledge of ex istiug defects, in its plans and purposes of aotlou. In Its general educatioual policy.— The timo devoted to the examiuatiun of schools, is tfaat which best suits the conveni ence of tbe superintendent, aud his counec¬ tion with thu thoughts concerning school matters, are confined to the brief period in whioh he Is directly employed iu his official duties, if eveu then he bo nol oftenur engaged iu rumiuatiug upou those Interests to which tho chief pari of hla lime is glreu.
But atowusupervisiou is more inefficient for the reasou, that however intelligent aud zoaluus the suporlnteudeut of a towu may be, his power to eufurco wholesome and salutary reforms ia greatly restricted. Ho may estab liah scbools, certificates are issned wiih Htile ur no regard tu the qualificatious oftho appll cant. The result Is obviuas ; lhe facilities afforded in tfae surrounding towns draw uU' lo them the applicants for license; tfaoso towus aro overrun wilh candidates wfao com- pulo with each other, not upon the score ol merit but upon that of cheapness, thereby ensuring the engagemeut of the poorest aud cbeapest teachera; whilo the Intelligent, zealous and conscientious superiuteudent, fiudiug ll vain lo atruiigle agaiust the popu¬ lar seutiment all around, him, or to advauce and elevate the standard of teaching without the co-operation of auperlutendenis in other towns, succumbs to tho demand of the high est educatlcnal sentiment he cau enlist or evoke, aud while the schools under hia su¬ pervision may exibit a gratifying contrast wheu compared wilh those iu other towus, they fall far below a just aud rational ataud ard, and servo ratfaer lo exibit tfae deplorable inefficiency whicfa schools may reacfa, tfaan lo give'^iudicatlons of healthfal and progressive coudilious.
Nor are tfaese statements hypothetical, but are substantiated by tbe experience of many who bave held the office of towu superinten¬ dent, and by the observation of tbo intelligeut friends of educatiou thronghout the stat**, well as by the practical experieuce uf the De¬ partment of Pablic Instruction.
Agaiu, couceruing tho objects to be attain¬ ed by supervision, it is clear that tho visita¬ tion of schools even if it were dono every week, can have no salutary Iufluence of Its¬ elf, without tbo knowledge to discern existing faults, without the ability or skill to arouse trnstees, parents or leachera, witbout the power to enforce auy system of meaua for tho improvement of the coudition of the school: or iu any manner to practically determine their character or conlrol their action. The visitation of the saperintendent is a mere form, the omission of which would produce no unfavorable result.
Having shown that an intelligent aud ear¬ nest town superintendent, uan do but little toward improving the character aud elevating the fitandaid of commou school eduttatlou, witfaout consultation with his fellow officers in other towns, witfaout tfaeir faearty co-ope¬ ratiou with^Im In aome uniform system of measures, we need hardly suggest tfao im praoticablllty of saoh consultation and muta al co-operation ; and bence uecesaarially fol lows the conclusion, that in considering the operation ofifae system of towu superinteo- dents, we must regard them as acting in tfaeir Individaal capacity.
We have also seen, how in this individnal capaoity, the besl and most zealous oificers can exert hnt a limited Infiuence upou the characterof the schoola for the reason that tfaey can do ao little, comparitively, to determine wbat ahould be the qualifications of teacfaers, upon which more than upon auy thing else tfae cfaaracter of the school mustdepend.
Bat tfae greater difficuUy ia, thai it is utter¬ ly useless to faope or expect, except occasion- ally-and we may almost aay accidentally, to fiud the office of town auperiutendent filled by a person, wfao either oau or will make the moat of even its meager advantages. It be¬ comes a partisan office of the loweat grade, for the reaaon that Ita dutiea and responsibilities are regarded by -the popular sentiment as within the ability and integrity of almost any one who can read and write. Its emolu¬ ments are sufficient to gratify tfae insatiate craving for office, whioh oharaterlzea the igno¬ rant and weak-minded, and its pecuniary rewarda, while no objeot to men of substantial worth, are Btill a temptation to thoae who oan devote to th» dlBoharge of ita dutiei, only ao
much time as they oan take from other pur¬ snita, with any appreolable loss. Thus does tbe office, in a great majority of inatanoea, become filled or occnpied by tbe merest pre¬ tenders to the first essential qualificatiou for the discharge of ita duties. And in the more inrtanate oases, where men of suffioient abili¬ ty, intelligence and oharacter, are elected to the office, not only are they powerlesa to en¬ force any reformatory measurea, but it is scarcely possible for them to avoid a defer¬ ence to the popular will, that faaa conferred tfae office upon them, and to license as teaofa¬ ers auy wliora tho trustees of the various districts chmise to employ. Besides the ap plicants for license aro not uncommonly their owu personal friends, neighbors and acquaiu tances, ur hnloug to the families of those witb whom they bavo intimate peraunal, sooial or political relations, and whom for any or all these reasons they are unwitting todtaublige. That the character aud efficiency of Che state, can never bo improved under auch a system nfsapervision, ifit be worthy the name, as this we have described, mnst be sufficiently obvioaa to tht^ commonest undor standing it is to the observation of all who bavo beeu cognizant of tbe working of this aystem of exclusive town superrision.
On the olfaer band, a moro comprefaunslve and geueral system of supervision, as that by Assembly districts removes tbe school officer f.om these incidental but pernicious Intlucn- ces, which more than auy otfaer oue cauae, serve to paralyze the energies of our school system. The school commissioner, compara- tirely at least, acta independent of those influences of personal favor, whicfa to ao great ou exteut coutrol a local officer. Hta term of office alao givea hitu an advantage in tfais respect, so that while fae ia still faeld in check from an abuse of his perogative, sueh a^ wuuld be repugnaulto the common sentiment of a large commuuity, he is not in fear that the exercise ol his best jadgoieut In opposi¬ tiou to iudividual ioterestd and preference, will briug his official character iuto disrepute.
