Otm MTNISTEH. WHY HE DmN'T MARRY.
It makes no differenoe where the scene of my story is laid. It is in a qaiet village in the interior—what particular State I decline •tating, for reasons which the intelligent rea¬ der will readily divine. The particnlarhonse i« an old, antiquated farm-honse, at the out- ikirla ofthe village, perfectly "embosomed " in trees, and with a large lawn in front, which, in the lifetime of its late owner, had been a corn-field at times, and at other times s meadow, and then a pasture gronnd where cattle grazed. If tha reader haa seen the place he will recognize it at once from the description. The house is the same now as it was forty years ago on the outside, thongh within it is Sttaii up in modern atyle, with all the accompaniments of modem luxury and esse.
The grounds have undergone a similar al¬ teration, and the lawn ia now a One grove of •lately treea, interspersed with shrnhbery, and ornamented with large and tastefully cat flower-beds and complicated walks, in the ' fashion of modem " landscape gardening."—- Need I say the place ia one of rare beanty even to the most fastidions eye? But no professor of the fanciful art has been the pro¬ jector of tha elegant design, nor the snperin¬ tendent of its constmction. The whole ar¬ rangement owes its perfection to the tasle and personal care of the young -ind common looking girl who waa occupant of the place and its owner.
There is no professional gardner to manage the place, or attend to the large and well fur¬ nished conservatory of blooming flowers.— She directs the whole; and, with the aid of a single hired man, keeps it in the very best order. She loves her flowers and her birds, and, of course, loves everything and every¬ body. If ahe is plain in personal appearance, she is noble in soul, and has a heart full of the highest and holiest thoughts and purpos¬ es of life. The very dreams of life are dreams of love to somebody, or something, or everything; and of usefulness to every¬ body. The pride which seema naturally lo attach to persons attached as she is, finds no placd in her heart.
I am writing now of things as they were ten years ago. They are ohanged in a mea¬ sure, now. The old honse has been remodel¬ ed and modernized in its exterior and has passed into the care of a new occupant, J thongh the beantifnl grounds are BtiU under the direction o£ the aama mistress.
Bmily Clinton's mother died when she was two yeara old.   Five yeara atter her father died, leaving his only child to the care and guardianship of his friend, Dootor Weston, a bachelor, bnt one who possessed his entire ' confidence and a large share of hia affection. The girl had been petted and humored iu all her wishes and whims by her widowed and indulgent father, and when her new guardian asiumedthe mauagement, she-was a careless, and hoydentsh child. It was not easy for a man unaccustomed to the domestio oare of chil¬ dren to fix npon the beat plan for the future training of hia charge, so as to flt her for the sphere of life in which he should wish he"" to move.   But after mature deliberation he referred the oase to hia aister, Mrs. Vemon, a widow lady o£ mature years, and it waa de¬ cided that she ahonld occupy the old mansion and assume the care and oulture of the wild and unbroken Emily.   A more judicious ar¬ rangement could not have been made, and the wayward gave tokens of a character far above all expectations.   Aa she grew up provision was made for her instruction, and as her tas¬ tes were developed every opportunity wai afforded for their cultivation.   The old ho use waa fitted np in a faahionable style, and at an expense which, to its former possessor, would have seemed unwarrantable extrava¬ gance, and the grounds were given up to her gole Buperiutendence;  while her excellent companion gradually and imperceptibly re¬ signed to her moat of the dutiea of the house. I do not mean to say that Bmily waa per¬ fect.   She had her foibles and her follies, as all girls have.   But tbe constant aim of her guardian had been to instill into her miud the same noble and generous principles that he acted npon himself; and he had tha* kindly and earnest wayof exhibiting them to her, that made her feel as if ahe was acting from tbe impulses of her own heart, when ahe was only following out the inflnence of his training.   He was seconded in all hia wishes with regard to Emily by bia aiater, whom the fonner had long leamed to regard as a kind and affectionate mother.
Let me now introduce my readers into the library of the old house, sucb as it was ten years ago. It is not a large room, witb lofty oeiUings, and aurrounded with shelves groan¬ ing under the weight of ponderous volumes, whioh the owner never looks into; into which the darkened windows admit only light •nough to make objeots indistinctly visible It is a quiet, snug little room, opening out upon tbe end of the low piazza. There are hooka enough, carefully selected ; and upon the walls are hanging a few choice paintings, interpersed—curious taste—with maps and ( charts. Everything about the room is very plain, but very tasteful and neat. The only curious thing abont it is an antique lamp, which is hanging over the table in the mid¬ dle of the floor, and sheda a dim light upon the papera and booka of accounts, and nu¬ merous bills and receipts lying before Miss. Emily Clinton. She seems to hav© just fin¬ ished examujing them, and is leaning back in her chair leating her head on tha ends of her beautiful fingers—for ahe has a beautiful hand if her face is not bandaome—and is thinking.
The door opens, and Doctor Weston enters. Bhe rises from her seal and offers him her hand, which he takes, and drawing her to his side, presses a warm kiss npon her lips. Yon would have thonght he waa her father, from the noble and proud look of love with which he seams to regard her.
" I have not aeen yon, dear doctor, for fonr daya," aaid Bmily, as ahe looked up into his kindly face and beaming eys, and gently loos¬ ened herself from hia arm, though ahe held hifl hand atiU iu both of hers. " Has busi¬ ness bean ao urgent that yon conld not spare US the light of your countenance, if only to look in upon usf"

" The knowledge, and experience, and im¬ provement, however, have been of slower and more tedious growth."
" I did but jest, dear dootor," she said, tak¬ ing his hand and pressing it to her lips. " 1 do look back through tbese long years of' patient aud loving care on your part, and wilful and girlish folly on mine, and marvel that you have not relinquished your trust and your oare long ago. I am ashamed that a word of levity should have escaped mo."
" I know, my dear Em, all you feel," said he, with a smile. "Yon are as near as poa¬ sible what I have always wiahed and aimed to make you. I could hardly wish to aee you different from what you are. If you are gay at times, your patient examination of these long accounts shows that you are capable of managing your own affairs, and you must prepare to receive my formal sur render, and give me my release, in the mom¬ ing."
" But why surrender them at all ?" ahe asked. " Will you leave me to myself as soon as yoa see I am able to walk alone ?— And your sister—I can never live withont her—and she will go if yon desert me."
" We will neither of us desert y ou, my dear child," replied the doctor. " I believe fihe would uever smile again if she should lose yon; and as for myself, I do not really know what I shonld do wiihout yon. But to these bnsinesa matters, I have had you fltted by your education to take charge of them—and I aball insist upon it—till you choose anoth¬ er guardian." " Another 1"
" Yes ; if rumor tells the truth, as sbe al¬ ways does, of course, it will be bafore long.' "You surely do not believe these silly stories about the minister and me?" she aaid, with a pained and serious look. She waa evidently hurt by the allusion.
I do not know what to believe, Em;*' he replied, smiling. " Appearances, on his part, are vary suspicious. His visits hero are far more frequent than at any otber plaoe, and his attentions to you are very pointed everywhere. He certainly likes you." "And I like him," she replied. " Tbe confession is a very candid one, t o say tbe least," said tho dootor, in a tone that in a younger man might bave been expres¬ sive of some mortification.
" To like is one tbing,my dear, good-friend," aaid Emily, " and to love is another; and I shall never marry a man with the former feeling. As to the minister's visits here I presume your good sister wonld be diapoaed to dispute my sole claim to them."
"But I believe he loves yon," said the Doctor.
" I certainly do not love him," she repli¬ ed ; "nor am I ready to believe it of him.— I have no thoughts of marrying him nor anybody else.   I can afford to be an old maid I have leamed, from the inspection of these numberless papers you have given me, that I am rioh—twelve thousand dollars in money witb most of the interest  accumulating for fourteen years—a good  farm of more  than one hundred acres—a comfortable honse well famished—wby, I am an heiress, Doc- «Bion !   I cau afford to be au old maid; 1 choose to marry, I oan look higher a poor country clergyman." "You do wrong—it is not like you, Emily, to speak so," said tha Doctor.    " Tma and honest love ought never to ba spoken nor thought lightly of.    It is worth more than your honse, and land, and money, my dear girl."
" My ill-timed levity has pained you again," aha replied. " When ahall I be aught else tban a giddy-beaded girl ?"
" Only be tme to youraelf, dear Em," he aaid, " and to the noble impulaes of your beart, and you will always do right. And I am sure thoae impulses will never lead you to speak lightly of the only passion that sanc¬ tifies the human heart."
" Nay—now, ay dear doctor, it is you who do me wrong; though knowing little of the feeling, save in ita expansive application to my birds and flowera, and your sister and yourself, and all others alike, I am not just the one to think rightly, not to say speak rightly, of thia passion. Bnt how could you dream there shonld be auy shadow of tmth in tbese rumors ?"
"1 did not dream it, Em," replied the doo¬ tor, in the same serious tone he had used be¬ fore. " There is too much of the real about it, I fear, for it to have anything of the char¬ acter of a dream, I cannot be mistaken in thinking that Mr. Gray loves you, and that it is no wild emotion with him, but a calm and deep feeling springing np from tbe depths of a manly heart. But no matter now, Em¬ ily ; I will not annoy yon, as I see it does, by saying anything more about it, I only wish to pntayou on your guard against ever unintentionally giving encouragement to an affection such as I believe his to be, if you do not return it."
" Which I certainly do not, my dear doc¬ tor," she replied.
" Well, let us Bay no more of it. He ia a man of tbe right stamp, though."
Emily was really annoyed by what her guardian bad said abont the minister; not because it was the subject of general rumor, BO mnoh as becauae behad aeemed to believe it. As long as sho waa satisfied tbat what¬ ever she waa doing was right,Bhe had small oare what otheis aaid ot it. She regarded Mr. Gray as one of the noblest and best of men. He was an everyday viaitor at her house, bat she really believed that he oame there as much to see Mrs. Vemon aa to sea her. Sheliked-hisaoolety, forhe waaaman of rare intelleotnal qualities and varied ao- qniiements; bis conversation was instrao- tive, and, at the same time, amusing and full of illustrations, drawn from all sources, and his personal appearance was good enough to please any women. It is true, he wag many years older than she was ; but years make little difference when tastes and sentiments are alike.
The more she thought of what Dootor Wes¬ ton had said the more she was pained. So smoothly had the oonent of her Wa flowed along hitherto that she had experienced lit¬ tle or nothing of trouble or cara. She now saw the ^t dark clond gatheiiug aronnd
well fn /Kn a
to meet the love of a man suoh as Mr. Gray? But it did not, and for reasons we shall pres¬ ently see—reasons whioh were not revealed to her, though thay existed in ber own roind paramount to all otheis I nave mentioned.— But she did not believe the suspicions ot her guardian were anything more than suspioions, or she wonld have asked him his reasons for his belief. She r^aolvdd, however, to look for herself more closely into the actions of the minister; and if from anything sbe might see tbese suspicions should be confirmed, then she would act as she felt she ought and could, both for har own sake and his.
CBAPriaii.
It is not often nbw-a-days that a minister atays as long in a conntry church as did Nathan Gray in hia. More than twenty years ago he had come there as the village pastor, a young, and earnest, and self-sacrificing man. Pull ot the zeal of his caUing, wilh talents of a high order, and great acquire¬ ments for a young man, and a genius appar¬ ently tar above those among whom he had fallen, he devoted the lofty energies of bis mind to the improvement of hia people. He felt uow that the life of a mere student waa to be no longer hia; He was to enter upon bnay and active^'enea—to study the improve¬ ment of his charge not only in spiritual things, but to aim at elevating them in all their pursuits and occupations.
A few weeks .of observation and Btudy of character, while he was forming their ao- quaintance, prepared him to thia, and wilh rare tact he made all his friends. The con¬ aequence had been that for more than twenty years he had had their confidence and love—a confidence which bad been strengthened and matured by years of sym¬ pathy in their trials and their joys. No one was jealotis with the familiarity which he soon established with Doctor Weston and his sister; for they felt that, in education and acquirements, they were alike, aud that it was perfectly natnral that they ahonld be more intimate with eacb olber than they oould be with the plain and untaught people of tbe place.
When Mrs. Vemon was transferred from the doctor's house to the old nansiou and the oharge of Emily, Mr. Gray, of course, became a frequent visitor there ; and it was to hia aid and co-operation that Emily was indebted for many of her acquirements— And thus years passed on—^years in which he saw har growing up to womanhood, and tha charms ot her mind and heart daily growing plainer and brighter, till he beoame aware that she waa becoming an object ot more interest to him than a mere pupil or friend. Ha was not a man to conceal this long from himself, or to remain long ignorant of the actnal slate ot hig own feeling tow¬ ards her. A careful student of other men, he did not Bhrink from the examination of hia own heart'; and when he discovered hia tme feelings toward her, he began to study what hers were toward him, and easily taught himself to beUeve that all was right there.
It is tme, as I have said, his waa nearly twice her age; aud this he told himself a a thonsand times while he was canvassing the matter, aa ho thought, candidly in his own mind.   But why need this stand in the way, if hearts are united ?   Thia, too, he ask¬ ed himaelf over and over again, and many a time, aa he sat by ber and looked dowu into her calm blue eyes, which did not abuu his gaze, and in whioh he soon leamed to read. a tmth they did not speak.   It waa a constant joy to him—his   love  for  EmUy—and   for three years, at the time of which I write, ti had been growing strong and mature, and forming a lar^ porlion of his daily thoughts. Rarely did a day pass in which ha was not a visitor at tho old house,  and the idle talk of the ViUage bad long made hia marriage a fixed fact.   This they bolh knew; but he did not regard it, because, in his own mind, he looked npon the rumor as the forshadowing of what he wished and fully believed to be! true, and she laughed at it, as too groundless and fooUsh lo trouble herself aboul.    She liked Mr. Gray.   Tbe doctor and he were her principal aociety; be bad been her friend, and teacher, and minister since abe was a chUd, and she thonght of him as only these . why ahould she suppose that ho thonght anymore other?   The current other life waa flowing on calmly and amoothly, and his constant visits to her and Mrs. Vemon tormed the principal* incidents in the monotony ot their home Ufe.    But to him . it was vastly more than to har.   His beart had baen learn¬ ing, day by day, for years, to live only in her smUes, and calmly  to look forward lo   the time when he conld tell har all his   great store of love—earnest, and tmthfnl, and sin- oere love—and find her ready to receive tha declaration with   a quiet   and  happy mein that shonld leU him that she too, for long years, had fell the same love growing up in her young heart for him, and him alone.   It had become a sort of inner Ufe to him—a portion of his ordinary everyday Ufe—while be was by her side, but a distinct and sepa¬ rate one while he was by himself.
It ia singular that nothing ahould hav« ever occurred, in the whole progress of their intercourse, to open his eyes to the true state of ber feelings. Perhaps, if she had been surrounded by others who were seeking her favor or hei smUes, it might nol have beea BO. There might then have arisen at times those jealous thoughts that would have led him to ask himself if she did not like anothir batter than bim. Suspicion of those we love leads us to inspect their actions with a sharper eye. But he had none. There were no ap- parent obstacles lo the straightforward course of his love. There were none to come in be¬ tween him and the settled faith in his own" security. There were no flutterings of heart, no shrinking back at the thought of taUing har his true and honest feeUngs, from fear that they might not be relumed. But he had waited patiently and cheerfully for the day that was faat approaching, when he knew that she was to be ot age, and had determined to signalize the day to her and to Umself by pUghting thafr mutual faith. -
EmUy bad. jut finltbadiWbiaBktut on the morning after'the Int^rrleir'with her guardian, when, trae to bis promlaej he en^ tered the hpiisa, and his flrst word'i w he •hook hands with hei,;were: .-    - ' fc1
"Well, Em, do you'teM any more like a'l fall grown woman this'moming?"
"Not at all, dootor," ahe replied. " To teU tbe truth, the subject has not entered my mind."
"Well, now for business, and a few min¬ utes will despatch the whole, and I must be off," aaid Doctor Weaton. " The lagal^ forms can all be gone through at any time, I sup¬ pose. But onr personal matters oan be ar¬ ranged at once."
" So you are datermined to oast me off?"
" No, not cast you off, bnt leave you to yourself: while I am always ready to advise you, if yon require it."
" I am afraid it will not ba long before I shall call upon yon," said Bmily.
"Trnstto you own good sense, my dear girl," replied the dootor, "and I have perfect confidence in your abiiity to manage your own affairs."
A half hour spent in the details of flgnres and accotmts, which Emily had gone overihe evening before, and tiie few explanations necessary, ended their bnsinesa, and- just at that moment Mr. ^Jrayi the minestar, made his appearance at the window.    '
"Mrs, yarnon^;-jiittt''who,B(iI have bean sitting for a faw.moijtants, has pleaded the •alls of business; and sent me here," he said as Emily opened the sash to 'admit him.— * She. told me Iwould find the doctor with you.   I hope his visit is not professional.".
" In one sense it is," said the dootor; and he explained the objeot of his visit; \
Mr. Gray congratnlated Bmily upon the event. Perhaps he would'have said more, andraUied her upon her audden advanoa- ment to a station of raaponsibiUty; bnt thera waa a seriousness—he thought il almost cold¬ ness—in ber. manner of receiving his con¬ gratulations tbat made him pause. "Could it be pride ?" he asked himself. " Could she be so soon elated with the mere transfer of her property from her jfuardian's hands to her own, as to change at once her feelings and her actions toward'one'wbb had bean for so long a time, as ha .thought, ona of her most intimate and familiar frienda? What elae could be thertason? It waa the first tima tbat anything of the kind bad ever oc¬ curred." y' '..
EmUy was conscious, herself of a feeling of restraint and embarrassment. Her guardian's remarks eama instimtly into her mind as she •aw Mr. Gray, and she oonld not divest her¬ self at Jtsl of the feeling it gave rise to. It was perfectly natural that ahe should feel HO. - Her ingenuous heart had been pained at the mere utterance of the suspicion, and now in his presence sba was aware of a sort of c-)ldnesa In her manner, which aha imme¬ diately made a strong effort to banish, and Booii succeeded. Conversation became mora easy and the minister forgot tbe incident, or at least believed that he had been mlBlaken in sappoaing that there had been anything lo notice. It might bave been all in his own mind, he thought, and Emily could only see in him the kindness and familiarity of the friend she bad always beUeved him lo be.
How easily we persuade ourselves that wbat we wish to be true is so 1 The minis¬ ter now measured and weighed every word and look of Emily for the few moments tbat his visit lasted, and read in thom all—every one—the certainty of her love for him. Noth¬ ing tad ever oocnrred in their acquaintance and interconrse lo develop to bis own mind the intensity of the pssaion as it was ruling his otvn heart. There had always been a quiet; calm satisfaction in sitting by her and liBtening tober voioe, and looking into her eyes full of the flre of iuteUect, and he had foolishly imagined that the same feeling that he had was only depicted in the oalm, quiet pleasure whicb Emily seemed to take in his society; wbile she, at tbe same time, was watching every word and look of his, and saying to berself, with the utmost conviction of ita truth, that all her guardian's suspioions were only the fruit of the idle gossip of the Tillage, for whioh she need nol oare a straw, so long as their feeUngs were what they evi¬ dently wera, just tbe eame, and nothing but those of the commonest sincere friendship.
But tbe dootor sat and looked on, and read botb tbeir hearts aright, and saw, wilh pity for his friend the minister, the dismal height froni which he .must fall.
He rose to go and Mr. Gray rose at the sama lime.
"By the way," said the latier, "I had al¬ most forgotten the pnrpose of my early mom¬ ing call. My sister is With ma on a visit, and wa have proposed a walk to Lake Sleinaluin. I came over to invite you and pur friend Mrs. Vernon to join us."
BmUy looked at the doctor as if she hesita- ted.-what answer to make.
" Oh, you will go, of course," said he, in reply to har look.
"May I not plead the calls of bnsinesa," said;Emily, with a amile". "The burden of my new reaponsibiUty ought perhaps to oc¬ cupy my mind lo-day."
" Meet the emergencies as they arise," said Mr. Gray. "'Sufflcient for the day is the evil thereof.' But I have no doubt Mias Clin¬ ton will be always ready to enoouuter any responsibiUty, without looking forward for it ¦ Troubles come fast enough withont forestall¬ ing them."
"Will yon not join us ua, doctor!" Emily inquired.
" I oan plead tba calls of buBintss," he re¬ pUed, -'-with a. very good grace. Bnt the day ia so fine, aud the temptations so great, that I WiU meet yon there."
Mrs. Vemon urged her household calls as a reason for not joining the party, but this was overruled ; and then her iuability for so long a walk; and this was obviated by Emi¬ ly proposing that-ftieyshould drive in her carriage as near thoir destination as possible, whence-the walk would not baa long one to the lake.
Abont three miles from the village the Wide, level plain upon which it is situated is bonnded by a long.range of high hills; ex¬ tending in an unbroken chain as far as the eye can reach in' either direction. -.On the very. snmmit of this range, in a vaUay sur¬ rounded by rooky walla, Uea Lake Sleinaluin —^a beautiful-sheet-of water reaching for a mile along the .-vaUey.. Many traditionary stories of the early daya-of the countiy are told of this lake and the rocky ridgo in whioh it sleeps now in glassy and sUent tepose. It is the resort of all' the counlry people, as- pacially on their hoUdays, and then its rooky ¦shorea :echo to their noisy mirth. Bnt at other times it is a place of quiet and peace¬ ful beanty.:;        '      '
, Mr. Gray would. have rather walked. He had beea- the ohief -one in, planning the ex- snrsion, and he had done it as much for the •ake of being with Emily, and walking by her side in the oalin scenes of natnre, where ha inight hear nothing bnt her voice, and see her eye kindle with admiration of all sho saw. He might draw her away from their companions, and' their alone, with nature around them, and nature's God above them, he had resolved to tell her all tbe feelings of his, heart—the calm, and deop, and earnest love wbich had for years been growing np, stronger and stronger; and tha bope, nay moie. the beUet, the faith, that her feeUngi ware thesame.' He,had rather do it tbitiB, when fbr a tew moments .-they might realize together, with no o'ne neai-, tha fnU enjoy¬

"And is it not worth tha labor in this oase?"''asked his sister. "I had no idea, from yonr description, of the perfect beauly of the.flaoe. Who would not spend a life of ton willingly if he were sure ot so peaceful a clbae of hia work ?" ;1 And could see so quiet a scene beyond,
horepUad.   "Look yonderl" -'"And yet how many faint and give up in wairtiness before they reach the end," said Emiiy.
"Tbey are cowards," said Mr. Gray,"and do not deserve a better fate. It is only for the resolute and strong-hearted—thosa who ton faithfuUy and nntfringly, that tha re¬ ward waits." ''All cannot be heroes," said Mrs. Vemon. "And all cannot wear the orown," said Mr Gray. "Now, are yon ready to go on? We have some distance yet to walk before we reach bur destination."
The doctor overtook them before they had reaohed the lake, and with the young ladles walked. rapidly on. 'When Mr. Gray and Mra, Vemon came up .they fojind ] the dootor and Miss Gray.Btan^iijgobt&'e.-shpre admi- I ring the^scana.'    . ..   .'y^'~*"'.'', '
" Where is Mias CUnton f" asked Mr. Gray. "Indeed, I had not missed her,!'said the dootor. " She has probably gone to some of lier favorite haunts, of whioh she has a num¬ ber about the lake. Lat us take the boat and nSw along the shore tUl wo find her."
"Ton take the boat snd go one way, and I WiU walk the other tiU we meet," said the minister.
The tmth was, the moment the doctor had joined the.party, a oloud seamed, to oome over the mind ot EmUy, which increased as they stood by the lake. There was a strange feeling of oare upon her heart that she oonld not account for—an apprehension or dread of soine unknown unseen iU. It was a feel¬ ing she had never known before, and now she felt as if she would rather be alone. She therefore left her oompanion» and wandered along the shore, tiU she reached a favorite apot where the trees covered with a dense shade a mass of rocks, and there she sat down to examine her heart and flnd the canse of her strange feeUngs. And hore it waa that Mr. Gray tound her atter a tew minutes' walk.
"I thought I sbotrtt"ft».*-you here," ha said.
"It is one of tha spots I Uke beal," ahe repUed. "Yon know the tradition connected wilh il."
" I may have heard il, bnt have forgotten it now."
" It is tbat a young Indian maiden who had loved for years a warrior of her tribe threw herself from tbia rook and periahed in tho lake, wheu sba heaJd that he had died in battle." "I remember it now; but he was not dead." " No. And it it is said that when his whole tribe liad baen wasted and destroyed bnt bimaelf, he came to this same spot, and sing¬ ing the story ot his brave deeds, he oaUed upou the name ot her who had died there, and told ber ot hiB unceasing love for har, and caat himself in and perished loo."
"Do thay not say that his voice is heard here atiU at times?"
'.' SbmethingJjf that kind used lo be lold by the old pebple."
."It is a atory of faithful lo-ve," said the minister, " and conseoratas the spot. Lat me tell -auotber of my own, WrflLake it more sa¬ ored." \
" Of your own, Mr. Gray»'' inquired EmUy.
" Yes, of my owu, Emily—a love wbich has
been growing up iu my heart tor years, till il
has beoome a strong aud eameat one, and I
hadiflxed upon tbis day to make it kuown,
thongh not in this place.   I love you, Emily,
as 1 know the true hearted only can lore, and
here I would offer you a heart that has learned
to teat for you alone.   Will you accept it?"
Einily bad risen from her seal while he
was speaking, and now stood gazing far off
into; tne distance, while her faoe had become
pale, and she hardly aeemed to breaJJvl.    He
took her hand, but it was as cold as marble.
" You do not hear me. Miss Clinton," he
said.   "WUlyou nol answer me one word,
EmUy ?"
He was terrified al har appearance.
" Mr. Gray," she said at length, " yon have
made a terrible mistake.   I esteem you—I
Uke-you as a man, but I can never be your
wife.   I am sorry for you, my dear friend, but
let me beg of you lo banish this trom your
mind."
But ho wae gone. AU^hicJiopes were blas¬ ted. He did not wait for the others bnt hur¬ ried lo Ilis room, where he might be alone to straggle with this terrible misfortune.
" 0 God, let mo die I" It was tho excla¬ mation of a heart cmshed with agony. It •earned to him as if tho burden of the Borrow ofthe whole world waa weighing and pressing down upou ilia single soul. It was not his brain that suffered yet. AU these seemed clear, and the. sense of every word sho had spoken—spoken'as he felt in his inmost thonght, in the truest hearty kindness, and BO near akin to love as to seem to him almost love itself—was as plain and distinct, and oomjirehended by him, as it he were all the time reading tham written of another in let- tars of sunUght in the face of bis study whera he was sitting. There was no doubl nor dreaminess aboul them at all. His mind was grasping no phantom, but a huge and terrible teaUty that, for tbe time, shut out every sense of everything else, whUe his hear^ seemed struggling and groaning under a load of immeasurable sorrow.
" Yes, let me dia 1" he cried throwing him¬ self on his knees : "inmercy, merciful Path" er, let me die I Is it not batter for me to die than to live ?"
But he could not pray. Thoughts of sub~ miasion rose shadow-like and untangible in his mind, but ba conldfind no words in which to ntter them. His reason might teU him to submit, but bis crushed heart wonld not rise to his help.
Xt was wonderful lo himself with what oabnnesB of mind he now atopped to look down into tha dark fature, where ha could see no ray of Ught. Hitherto, if he had aver a fear, he had been hopeful, and oould see ba¬ fore him a bright star shining on all his life. If he had ever hesitated or doubted that Emily loved him, he hadbeen able easUy to persuade himself that tbis might not be tme; and then he would go to her house, and sit by har side, and look down into her olear, and oalm, and tmthfnl eyes, and hear her gentle voice, and teach himself—also, how easUy I—to beUeve
that he had been troubled about nothing.	
Now he wished that he had n-ever spoken of hia love—that he had suffered himself to live on, even in donbt, so he oould stUl sit beside her, and dream his happiness was not all a dream. Blissful ignoranoer-bittarknowlejgal He had tasted of the tree, and found it death. And then be went onl 'i!)i^he flelds, and by the side of the river^ He -walked mUes and waded knee-daep through the tangled grass in the meadows, and cUmbed Bleep hUIs, in the vain hope tbat bodUy exercise woiild calm hia mind. He found biinself, at length, in the aame apot where ha had told l^mUy his love, and as the tradition she had related come to his mind, the tempter whis¬ pered in his ear tetribla tl^oghts. He tore hlinself away, and agSiii turned homeward.

CHAPTER IH. " What is it, EmUy—what is the matter ?" the dootor inqnired anxiously, as she pre¬ sented herself to tho little party by the lake, with a blanched face and quivering lip, after the minister had left her.
" Let us go home," was her only reply. " But whera is Mr. Gray ?"    ; "I do not know.   He has gone toward home."
The ladies overwhelmed her with their anxious questions ; but the doctor saw that something bad taken place lo agitate and diatrasB har, and gneased at once what it was; and ailenoing tha otbera he sent tbem on, whUe he followed with EmUy. I
"Now teU ma what it is," aaid he. "Not now, dootor—not now." " la it as I suspected ?   TeU me that EmUy." "Do not ask me now.   Some other time I wiU teU yon aU; but il is loo terrible!"
Sbe walked rapidly, and clung convulsively to tha dootor's arm, as if soma terriblo fear had taken possession of her heart.   But not anolher word did she speak till they reached the carriage, wbeu, lellmg tha driver to make hasta home, she sunk baok into the oomer. She apologized hurriedly to Miss Gray as she set ber down at her brother's honse, and then drove rapidly home.   Sbe could not ride fast enough.   It was a constant effort for ber to conceal or suppress her agitation. The presence of her companions was disa¬ greeable to her.   She wanted lo ba alone, where she oonld battle in secret with tbe misery tbal was wringing her heart.   And even then she found it more difficult than she had anticipated to define what were her trae feaUngs.   What was tho canse of this agitation ?   Could it hn possible that she had been, unknown to herself, cherishing an af faction for Mr. Gray, and tbal sh^was angry witb herself for having sUghted his offer ? Had she not rejected a love tbat would have shad ligbt and joy on her path, and on wbicb sbe might hava leaned in the hour of trial f Had aha not turned away f»-nm r. fountain—<| the only one—that was  gushing up  in the midst of Ufe's lonely and solitary desert, and might she not now be doomed to perish of thirst ?
These were questions sbe asked herself ovar and over again. But thoughts of a different kind gradually took poscession of her mind. They ware ot pity and compassion for the noble heart she had bean compelled to wound so deeply. It was not in the na¬ ture of her woman's heart to cause pain to the meanest and lowest of God's creatures; and yet ahe who would have tumed aaide her foot from treading ou a worm, had been com¬ pelled lo wound and cruab a noble human heart. Yet it was right. She could not have done otherwise. And then ahe recounted to heraelf all she had aaid, and all she wonld have said if ha had staid lo hear her—eaoh word sbe had nsed, and tho vary tone and mauner in wbioh she had spoken it, and aha could flnd nothing for which to blame her- self. She could not have used different words nor hava spoken them in a kinder way if they bad been spokeu to a broiher.— She felt that she had done as she ought— that she had been tma lo herself, and more than aU that, that she had been trae to the minister. How could she have linked her¬ self to another witbont that love which alone can make snoh a union snfferable, and with¬ oat whioh she must aver have been a burden to hisUfeandherown. Yet she was wretched. Poor girl I she did not know her own beart. She did nol know the altar on whicb the flame was buming which would consume aU but the memory of the sacrifice she bad made.
For tbe flrst time in her life she had now a sorrow which she conld not oommanioate io her frieud, Mrs. Vemon. Sba felt the need of some one with feeUngs like ber own, and when the doctor caUed in the eventag to be reUeved ot his anxiety, she threw hersalf on his bbs'om and wept bitterly. Strange emo¬ tions swaUed his heart as he drew her to his side and beard her story. A naw thought seemed to hava entered his mmd. Ha rose and walked the floor for a few moments, and then, seating himeaU by har side agaiu, he aaid:
"EmUy—EmUy—would I ba fooUsU if I were to tell you the same story tbat Mr. Gray has told you—that since you have grown up to be a woman the affection ofa guardian has changed to a deeper, and perhaps a bet¬ ter love? That I love yon now aa I conld but bave loved yon it I wera twenty years back in life, and of your own age ?"
Tins question opened the eyes of Emily lo a knowledge of her own hearl, and the tme reason why she had never loved the minister. In n faw daya the old honae began to be re-roodeled and repaired, and tbe good vUla- gers ware surprised to find that for once they had been hUnd to what was one of the plain¬ est troths in the world—that Emily Clinton was going to marry Dootor Weaton and not the mtaisler.
