CHAPTER I. I W&5 not very iiiiich siirjirt'.^e.^ to rfceir^, one morning, a Jdter from my niece, Mr.s. Lorim«r, altliongh she batl uerer written to me since her marriage—nearly four years ago—nor did the coutttuts of lu*r letter excite mncli astonialiment in my mind, ilifferent as it was from the undeviatiug accounts I had always received of her happiness and prosperity. I was unspeakably grieved, to be sure; bnt I ha-i always had my doubts about tbe sincerity of her protestations, for J knew the vain, proud heart of the girl aud that to owu herselfdiiiappoiuted, wonld seem to her humilia'liou aud defeat.
I did uot overlook the remembrance tliat lier sisters had visited her, aud bronghl back glowing accounts of her ff?Iicity ; hut then, a fine bouse and large establishment made up their estimate of a happy marriage ; and so long as everything seemed smooth and court¬ eous between the pair, they would never look farther or deeper. Howbeit, here waa Isa- "bers counter-statement:
" Dear Auut Sarah," ran the letter, " will yoa leave hom^, aud come and stay with, us for a time ? The honso is quiet ; the summer is in its glory; and it will be snt;h a pleasnre to me. Do come iu spite of obstacles, for I am unhappy, and want to consult you. To whom else can I look ?*'
So, althought 1 felt it rather hard to leave my pretty cottaj;e and Ilower gardeu, at the pleasantest seasou of the year aud still more so to break off my old  ways and  habits  of life, which fitted me  there like a glove, I resolved to lose no. time in obeying Isabel's summons, for I was verry anxious about her. I thought some coujugal crisis  must have occurred, or she would   never hare dropped the veil.   1 knew Mr.   Lorimer  so slightly that I had little ground for speculation, so far as he was personaUy coucerned ; but 1 knew that   Isabel   had married—from retpect, sbe said; and I could not help remembering how even, with the sol»-mu nuptial vows  in her ear, and enunciated, too, with  a tremulous passion, she had turned her graceful head from altar and priest to mark the ample flow of her satio drapery aud  costly veil.   Some •might havo called it a charming naivch j but it did not seem so lo me, uor was I  one of tbose who fondled and praised her—her hus¬ band among thf? rest—for the clear calm tones in whioh e^he had ?polceu her own responsea. I did not like it; there was depth enougli in Isabel's natnre to have made her forget ht^rt bridal suit, and to liave stilled her bell-like voice, had her heart been true to her words. "When I iooke.i ftom her hneband'.s flushed face and eyes, which glowed when they fell upon her, to her cool olieek and smiliug lips I made an old woman'a inward augury of ill' "Hot love soon growscold," said I to myself; " and fibe, poor chihl, is  not in love at all.— God grant the flame may never break ont of bounds!"   To sp^^ak truly, the last was my present fear.   I  was not afraiil of any out¬ ward compromi-ie of Isabel's duty, for I relied npon the SBlf-re.straiut of her character and her pride of position ; but had she diecovered that sho was capable of loving as she never had loved, and lhat the objeot of that love was uot her husband ?—tbal a blessedness once pn.^sible, wjis uow in sight, but out of reach for ever ?    Then, agaiu, came back the consolatory rellMotiou, that she would never have owned it; pride and shame would have sent her silent to the grave ; and my he.irt ached iuvnluntariiy as I couceived tbat buru¬ ing grief devouring her in secret.
At all events, I would go. The very same day I received Isabel's letter, saw my arrange ineuts complete; and the evening post car¬ ried her a letter statiug at what Ume they inight 8»-nrt to meet me at their railway station. Then I put on my bounet and mada the best Of my way to the city, to tell her family of say visit and receive thnir commissions,
It was a sultry evening in thi* beginning of July, aud the heat, dust and turmoil of tbe metropolis struck me opprodsively. The cross of St. Paul flamed in the rays of the blazing gnn ; the gay display of summer fashions iu the adjacent windows looked tawdy and ecHp- aed in the unmitigated light; and one put by half in pity, half iu dasgust, the drooping] Bcentlesa roses thrust upon the attentiou by the importunate flower girls. I found my brother's warehouse iu full activitv ; he him¬ self was paying commercial court to some im¬ portant customer in one of the long narrow alleys formed by bales of goods, which fronted the publio door by which I had entered. He saw me at once, and directed me to await his leisure in his private counting-hoaae with an air of undisguised astonishment at my ap¬ pearance. When he joined me, I told him briefly why I had come, for it was long since Robert and I had been on aflTeotionate terms. He appeared highly amused at the idea of mj going to Morion Leas.
" Why, what can Isabel waut with yoa, Sa¬ rah—a quiet, doll, old sonl Hke yoa ? No of¬ fence, I hope; but yoa must wonder, yonr- golf; besides, you will be like a fish oul of water in their graud house and with their fine ways. Yoa have no notion of the style they live in ?"
I said qnietly: "If I had not, It was from no want of informatiou on the subject, aud that I shoald notcommit myself iu his daugh¬ ter'a house ;" aod then I weut np stairs to see her sisters.
It was the samo story over again—nnboan¬ ded surprise and witless conjecture. I had to lisien for the hundredth lime to a re¬ cital of "how thiugs were done at Mortou Leas," and they seemed to sharo theirfather's apprehension that I should fiud this fipfeodor quite too much for me. As they had no in¬ structions to give beyond an entreaty to write and tell them *' how it all strnck me at first sight, aud how I got ou with Mr. Lorimor,'' I was soou back again ou my homeward way.
How it all struck me at first sight I well re¬ member. A heary storm in the morning had cooled the air and laid the da3t,and after the restraint of my journey, I enjoyed keenly the unaccustomjd luxury of recliuing at my ease in a luxurious carriage aa it rolled r.ipldly over Well-kept roads through the noble fir' plantations I had heard were Mr. Lorimer'a especial pride. How exquisitely the slender spires of the trees stood oul against the rose¬ ate amber of the sky ; how gratefully tbe eye rested on their stately layers of green shade I Now a squirrel darted into momentary view, which was a charming vision lo my ciiizeu sight, as were also the mercnrial r.tbbits that at every poiut appeared aud vanished with in¬ credible swiftness.
" You can see the houpe, ma'am, throngh the trees," said the coachman, civilly turuiug rouud to indicate it- I could,anda grand old place it seemed to me—grander eveu than my tutored expectations. I dou't know in what slyle or of what date it was ; its ample front looked to me like the facade of a Greek tem¬ ple, only the Portland stoue was reddened with age, and was almost covered with a dense bnt close-cut growth of ivy, intermingling with the gracefal festoons of the Virgiuia creeper. On the broad terrace on which the front opened, X reooguized the figures of my host and hostess, which so occnpied and ex¬ cited my mind, that I received but a very general impression of any other external ob ject.
I waa justconscious of a green lawn stretch¬ ing its velvet plain beyond my range of sight —of an antique flower garden glowing with vivid dyes, aud breathing a perfume exqui¬ sitely sweet and dolicate—of tho park beyond the distant fence, and the deer peeping be¬ tween the slender rails,
I coald not help the reflection that Mr. Lorimer's mercantile counection must iudeed be on a colo.ssal and remunerative scale, to hare permitted him* iu early life to make himself the possessor of so fiue an estate.
I was so eager to get my first glimpse of Isa¬ bel, that I was on the point of overlooking the courtesy of my host, who came down tbe steps to haud me from the carriage. He spoke to me so kindly that I wondered atmy former impression of his coldness and stiffness-
" I am so truly pleased to see you her3 at last," he said, " and so, you may be sure, is Isabel." Silly old womau as I was, I was looking out for some indication how matters slood between them, and I fancied I csuld detect a change from the cordiality of his tone the moment he mentioned his wife's (lame. He led me up to whera she stood smiling to receive me, aud placed my hand iu hers. "I hope," he added, "you will be able to enjoy yonrself with us;" and then, as if he cousidered his duly done, he turned, and went inlo the house. He had not lookeil at Isabel as he spoke, or he conld not have failed lo have seen in'her eyes a wistful es:- pression, which touched me deeply, for it seemed to plead for his notice ; and hs weut away without a word, which surely would not have been the case if cordiality aud aflection subsisted between them.
I turned and gazed at Isabel, who stood watching me attentively, and still holding my hand in hers precisely as her husband had placed it. "Why, child, how beautiful you have grown I" I said, involuntarily ; " and how stately stands the queen ofthis fair demesne I What 1 not a word or a kiss for the old aunt-mother ?" In a moment, her lovely arms were round my neek, and she was showering ki.^3es upon me. I was affect¬ ed by the convulsive pressure of her embrace, and tho speechlessuess of her emotion, and I tried to release myself playfully. " Just as of old, reckless of finery I" I said. "Alas! for uew cloak aud bounet. Take me up stairs, my dear, aud show mo the children." Thereupon, suddenly composed, shedrew ou' from behind her, with a charming gesture, a pretty snow-drop of a child, who had been cliugiug timidly to her dress, amid the ample folds of which she had hitherto been effectu¬ ally coucealed.
"Here ia one of my darlings: Lily I call her, because she is so white. The other is asleep. Bat come ; I keep you stauding ; we will show Annt Sarah her room." She caught up the child iu her arms—lithe aud tall, the weight seemed of no account to her—and pre¬ ceeded me np stairs with such a firm yet light atep that I followed her movements with ad¬ miration. Ilow the promise of the girl had fulfilled itself in lhe woman 1 She had alwaya been exquisitely pretty, bat her beaaty seemed to me lo have a brighter character now. She had quito recorered her compo¬ sure, and, staying with me while I dressed for dinuer, asked me a huudred questious concerning her old home audfamily. X could see she was afraid of my takiug the initiative, but I had no idea of being so premature.
The reader of an old woman'a  story will readily excuse all superfluous detail.   I mtist not describe triflea with the minuteness of a three-volumed novel.    Satfice   it, all around me proved tbat wealth and good taste had combined to give my Isabel a home  that should have been au eiysium ; aud that  be¬ foro the first dinner-hour was orer, I was con¬ rinced lhat Mr.   Lorimer  had  survived  his love for his wife, aud regarded her no longer hut as an elegaut appendage to  his  house aud table.   I saw too, that Isabel was miser¬ able beneath her cold and indifferent demea¬ nor ; (good Heavens! how every trace of the impulsire, sell-coufident girl seemed  vanish¬ ed) ; but thecause ofthe hnsband'scoldues. aud the  wife's diaappoiutmeut I could not guesa.    With  whom  lay the   blame?     We were not alone at the table.    I fouud that Mrs. Vivian, Mr. Lorimer's only sister, was a guest as well as myself.   This lady did not please me at all; her mauuers were at once haughty and careless, and it almost seemed to me that iu her attentive solicitude fbr her broth¬ er, to whom all her conversation was addressed, and her measured oivilities to  Isabel, there waa a larking inaalt to the latter which must inevitably make itself felt.    Mr. Lorimer him¬ aelf was an admirable host, so kind, and skil¬ ful in his kindness, lhat even I,  predisposed to nervous shyness of him, soon felt at ease. Nor mnst it be supposed that  there was auy faiiureof outward respect towards  his wife; he never avoided addressing her, or referring to her opinion, whenever it was natural to do eo; but itwas the averted or chilling look, the lones untouched by an accent of tender¬ ness, fiom which I drew my conclusions.— How different from the wedding morning I thoaght I; ay, one part of the prophecy was fulfilled—the hot love was cold enough now. I was very glad when dinner was orer, and we rose to retire  to the drawing-room, and atill more so when Mrs. Vivian annouuced that she waa nnder the painful neoessity of leaving ua for an hour or eo, to make arrange¬ menta for her departare on the morrow.
1 was very anxioas now to qaestion Isabel, but I found auch was not her present inteu-
tiOD.
" Let ua go to the nuraery," she said, *' I always see the babies pat to bed.
However, wheu we reached the nursery, we found the children asleep, for dinner had l^eu later on my account, and the nurse was rigorons abnnt extinguishiug Ihem at the ap¬ poinled hour. 1 had feared Isabel would havo been a careless mother; bnt as I watohed her leaning over her babes, the tears gather- tog in her eyes as she g-ized .it them, I felt ashamed of my iuvoluutary injustice. The baby lay iu her bassinet—which waa in that state of high toilet common nOw-a-days to thoee charming receptacles—with its cherub face flushed in healthy aleep, and one fat, rosy fist pushed agaiust the tiny mouth.— Lily, iu her little white bed, pale aud motion¬ less, looked like some lovely piece of monu¬ mental sculpture. I saw somo deep paaaionate feeling was welling up in Isabel's heart as ahe stood by her side, aud preaently tuming from her, she dismissed the servanis down stairs, aayiug to nie, in a forced tone of carelessness: " You and I, dear aunt, will keep watch for a little while. I like sometimes to speud a quiet hour with them thus."
We were hardly alone before htlr self-com¬ mand gave way ; she sank on her kneea by the child's couch, and stifled soba shook her from head to foot. I went gently to her, and stroked the bowed head withoat speaking.— My heart bled for her; I felt how bitter was the loug-suppressed anguish that was now findiug veut.
" Come, dear child," I said, " lot us sit down in this window-seat and talk your troa¬ bles over. I am sure they are not irreme¬ diable."
She lifted np her wet pale face with a bitter smile. ." I have bnt one ti oable, and you have discovered it already—my hnsband does not love me 1"
I saw she watched me feverishly, in half hope of a disclaimer, but I coald uot give it. "Thero is some quarrel between you," 1 begau soothingly—"some temporary aliena¬ tion ;" hat she interrupted me decisively.
" Not so, Auut Sarah—ootso I It is con¬ firmed indifference, the result, he would tell yon, of my own beartlessness—hopeless in¬ difference, for it is tho hard cold of former heat!"
" Poor Isabel!" I said, " aud you love him now?"
She stooped down and kissed Lily with couceutrated passiou. " I would gire this child of my heart to win back my uusband," waa the answer. " 1 would consent to lay her iu her grave, if over that grave ho would look as ho nsed lo look, and speak to me as he once spoke."
But I must not go over erery spoken word, but tell in brief what Isabel told me in vehe¬ ment detail. It may be other young wives may learn a caution from it.
She had married with a "very superficial kuowledge of her husband's character, after a brief acquaintance. He courted her from a position considerably higher thau her own, which dazzled her ambition, added to which he was passionately in love with her, and worshipped at her footstool. It was a dan¬ gerous incense ho offered. Isabel had many fiuo qualities, but her edacation had been un¬ fortunate ; she had always been greatly flat¬ tered aud iuda'god in her own circle, and she took her lover's devotion as a matter of conrse, accepting as hor riglit all his lavish liberality, and seemed to take it for grauted that nothing more waa required of her thau to be the gracious recipient of the tribute offered. Worse than all,she married without love, yet deceiving Mr. Lorimer with the im-. pression that she loved him. I rather think she deceived herself, saying she had a greal respeot for him; that she loved him, she sup¬ posed, as mnch as she could love any man. Poor girl, vain, selfish, and ignorant of the world, sbe was weak enough to estimate her surrender at the exaggerated price her lover pnt npon it, andto believe the glamour would last!
But men soon awake from these illusions ; it is only for a time tbat a hnsband cau de¬ ceive himseif that ho is loved, unless the wife be a consummate hypocrite, or he an uxnrions fool. Mr. Lorimer contiuned to adore his beautiful young wife, until the first blindness of passion having cleared away, he began to perceive that she was exacting aud unrespon¬ sive.
" You cannot believe," said Isabel, " with what insaue arrogance I acted. To be the sapreme consideration, for my will to take precedence of hts, was what I had expected and claimed, aud it never occurred to- me to feel grateful for his indnlgence or to wouder at his forbearance ; moreover, I did not love him then, aud I began to weary of his atten¬ tions, to sicken of his perpetual companion¬ ship. I suppose I scarcely tried to hide my impatience, for I was so besotted that I be¬ lieved he mast always lore me.
'•About this time his slater, Mrs. Virian came first to stay with us, and I doubt not she atimulated her brother's awakening. Be¬ sides, Maurice ia a proud man, witha saffi¬ cient sense of his own excellence and eligibility; and it was impossible for him, when he begau to refiect, not lo consider how much he had bestowed upon the, and that I had not even paid him with my love! I don't know how it was I was blind to the gradual chauge in my husband's manuer, oblivious of the iufluence which was working agaiust my happiness ; bnt it was so. It wag over Lily's cradle that I first awoke to a consciousness of my position. It had been a great disappoint¬ ment to both of as that ahe was a girl, to me, I think especially. One day, Iwas bewailing her sex very weakly, and feit surprised that he did uot join iu the lamentation.
" * Are you not disappointed too ?' I asked. "' Yes;* he said coldly; 'but my disappoint¬ ment is irretrievable, and dates farther back. Try aud lore your baby, Isabel, if you can.' " Tbese words fell upon me like a thunder¬ bolt; I suddenly saw my whole conduct in' its true light, and in all its consequences; but it was too late.' From the moment I was forced to re.il ise the idea that he had ceased to love me, I received a vivid conviction of the value of his love. I came dowu from my seolnsion to find him, as yoa see bim now, ¦ coldly considerate, punctilionsly attentive; but he no longer soaght my aociety, or wel¬ comed my coming with smiles.
" I canoot tell yoa the effect this change had upou my wayward heart; besides, il seemeil dreadfal not to bo loved by one's husband. In my turn, I began to love him passionately, to wait npon his words, to court his attentions, eveu to solicit his en¬ dearments, for his coldness maddened me.— Perhaps I might bave succeeded if we had been left alone, but Caroline Vivian was al¬ ways with as. Her presence and influence ruined everything. Previously she had seen my husband's devotion and my neglect at their fall and no doabt all she had osid to him then of his blindness and my worthlessness, was bearing now its abuudant fruit. I could not eudure her to see how oar position was re¬ versed aud what I was snffering. I could not sue for her to see me rejected ; aud during tbe months ahe staid with us, I tried to act my former part as closely as possible. So mad was I in my false pride that I have sac¬ rificed the happiness of all my life to it. I succeeded so well in this game that I deceived both him and her. I left them constantly to to their own society, while I was thirsting for one hour of his. I rode, drove, visited, according to roy owu convenience and leis¬ ure. I consulted my husband's inclinations less thau in former times. I justly laid my¬ self open to Carolina's interference and re¬ proaches, but I would not bear them. Violent scenes followed autil Maarice himself silenced her. He wanted no champion of his happi¬ ness, he said; expostulation and reproach would not transform my nature, or give him the wife he had expeoted—no third -person coald lighten the lot he had to bear. The night Carolina went away, I threw myself at his feet—I Mought Mm to. lore me—to be¬
lieve that I love'd bim. Men are not impul¬ sive, iuconsiatent, demonstrative, like na. and he coald not underatan . such conduct. Ho called it caprice, policy, hypocrisy—said [ iiad worn out his regard ; remiuded me of thi? and that—careless worfls, selfish actions, which I had forgDtten,bat which hehad brood¬ ed over iu silent bitterness aud dissapointment. Alas 1 alas I how black the catalogae appear¬ ed !
" The tale is nearly told out, Auut Sarah. Siuce then thinga have gone on worse and worse. His propriety and coldness have been always the same, whilemy conduct has been acinated by passiou, grief, and resent¬ ment, perpetually at strife. By turns, I am neglectful and disdainful, reproachful aud imploring. I lore him now as he never loved me. His patience and temperauce apppar to me admirable in the midat of my misery, for the uncertainty of my temper, and the dis¬ comfort of our relations, embitter his life.— Caroline has been once more onr guest for the last week or two ; and perhaps now her "presence does good, for it forces me to a measnre of quiet and conaistency.
" To-morrow my husbaud leaves me for Glasglow on important affairs. I half think everything ia not going right in his basiness connectiou, bnt he never talks on the subject only he looks harrassed beyond hia wont.— He said he might be a month or two absent; aud so, Auut Sarah, as my misery was getting intolerable, I thougbt I would send for you. Now, what comfort have you to give me.
Poor Isabel! I could but clasp her in my arms, and try to soothe her by my affection. What chance she had of regaining the happi¬ ness she had so recklessly squaudered, I felt very incompetent to decide, owing to my slight knowledge of Mr. Lorimer's character, and his immediate departare woald preclude the possibility of my formiug a judgment.— " Bat, my dearest child," I argued, " one thing appears absolutely certain, that a man like your hnsband, with quick perceptiows and sensibility, cao nerer resist tbe inflaence ofyour lore and duty, if yoa will but try and regulate their exercise. Yon must earo hia respect, constrain his affectiou, aud time must gire you the victory. Prove yoarself wor¬ thy to be loved, Isabel, aud he will loveyou.' "I canuot wait," said Isabel, clasping her hands ; " I want it at once—to-morrow— now I I shall nerer win it ou syatem. But it grows dark, dear aunt; we must go down stairs. Come with me to my dressing-room till I can find nerve and composure to meet them again."
CHAPTER II. Wben atlength Isabel was sufficiently com¬ posed to return with mo to the drawing-room, wo found Mrs. Vivian at the pi ino, and her brother listening to her fine voice with ev¬ ideutly extreme enjoymeut. I felt vexed to see them thus engaged, for Isabel had no mu¬ sical talent herself, and I feared, uuder pres¬ ent circumstances, the efft^ct of the smallest injurious comparison. As I sat and watched Mr. Lorimer foUowing note by note with crit¬ ical enthusiasm and affection for the accom¬ plished singer, I regretted still more that this subtile way of reaching her husband's heart was closed against Isabel. Mrs. Vivian roae, however, as soon as she had finished her song, saying: " I won't bore Mrs. Lorimer with my loud voice; I kuow she does not care about music;" and tho piauo was closed, for neither host nor hostess, challenged her assertion. Mr. Lnrimer began to talk kindly and pleasantly to me, iuformed me of his de¬ parture for Scotland, aud mentioned incident¬ ally that he must start so early that ho should breakfast by six o'clock in the morniug.
« Oh, well," said Mrs. Vivian, " I shall be np to pour out your coffee : there is nothing so cheerless as to set off on a joumey with no one to see lhat yonr great ctrat is buttonetl, and to wish you 'God speed !* "
I looked anxiously toward Isabel, for I could aee she was trembling with repressed indignation; she commanded berself, how- erer, admirably, and spoke quietly enough.
"Pray, donot disturb yourself so early, Caroline; I have made my own arrangementa for tho morning, and propose to breakfast with my husband alone."
Mrs. Virian shrugged her shoulders, ex¬ pressive of scornful acquiescence in thia new caprice, and Mr. Lorimer appeared too in¬ tent ou the Bradskaw he had takeu up to hear the remark.
About half-past five on the following morn¬ ing, I ivas awakened by Isabel standing al¬ ready dressed by my bedside. She wished me to get up and join her and her husbaud at the breakfast-table.
"I do not know what I may be tempted to say to him, Auut Saruh, bull feel as ifl could not let him go away in hia present es- traugement, especially when I fear he has such serious business for his object. I have thoaght for some time past that he has aeem¬ ed anxious and ill at ease. Ob, he must take me to hia heart again—speak to me kindly!''
"But, my dear child, had you uot better be aloue ?"
She thought not; if I were present, I could judge for myaelf, aud I should be no restraiut upou her. I thought how lovely she looked presidiug at the table in her simple white gown, and felt persuaded her husband must think so too wheu he came in. But when he did, after a few civil apeeohes to me, he seem - ed too harried aud preoccupied to notice anything. He swallowed his breakfast in five minutes, and then rose at once aud rung the bell impalieutly for the carriage to come' round.
"I must be off immediately," he said, look¬ ing at his watch; " I would not miss the train on any account.    Good-bye, Isabel."
What could be done in the way of remon¬ strance or eutreaty under such circumstan¬ ces f Aman under fear of losing the train is scarcely tolerant of conjugal embraces, much less of conjagal reproaches. Isabel had timed her appeal badly. Siie stood ir¬ resolute, htr eye downcast, her brow clouded. I saw Mr. Lorimer had made a movement toward her, as if to kisa her, bnt turned on remarking her altitnde. He evidently misunderstood her, for he compressed his lips with an expression of anch bitter feeling, though it was bat transient, aud I feit how deep a current of suffering aud dissapoint¬ ment rau beneath hia calm and ordinary manner.
" I hope you will not find the coantry very dull," ho said to me ; "Isabel must do her best to amuse you duriug my abscence; it is very kiud of you to come and stay with her. Take care ofthe children, Isabel." He turned and was going. I touched Isa¬ bel's arm, and she sprang suddenly forward so as lo intercept his way to tho door.
"Y'ou will write to me ?" she asked eagerly —-"you will let mo know yoar movements ? Are you likely to be long absent ?—a month ? —six weeks f Lorimer, apeak to me kiudly before you go away."
I saw the color rise augrily to Mr. Lorimer's face.
" Why have yon reserved your te'ndor ap¬ peal until the laat moment ?" he aaid. "Wero yoa anxious for a witness to your protest against my neglect? I shall write to you duly. Don't attempt to delay me aunther momeut."
He spoke in a hard, severe tone—put her gently on one side, aa she blocked hi3pa.isage —and |Was goue.    Amoment aftor we heard

coniinued she, gloomily, " that he nerer left me for a few houra without a tender farewell. I never came into the room bnt he amiled and gave mo a seat near him. He conld Bcai^eely pass me witbout a touch that was a caress; and now"—
"Oh, child"' I said, "you must have acted very ill."
"Have I. not told you ao?" ahe returned bit¬ terly ; and do I not suffer for it ? He never lov^d me as I love him now. What loug patience he had with me—blind to my selfish¬ ness, indulgent to my vanity, giving me so much with such an ungrudging laviabness, and only aaking me to acknowledge it and love him I Cau I blame hia aister that she helped him to discover how unworthy I was ?"
" I fear," I said, " she still does you harm. She will not be here when your huaband re¬ tuma.   I cannot believe, Isabel, tbat when
" Good-bye, Mra. Lorimer. I cannot help feeling a kiud of pity for you, in spite of your condnot—in apite, too, ofyour contemptaoua disclaimer," she added, smiling, for Isabel had winced at the expression, and drawing up her graceful neck, looked haughtily down upon the aympathizer. " Have you any idea," pnrsued Mra. Vivian, after a moment's reflection,'" what bnsiness it is that takes your hasband to Glasgow at this particular time ? No I I hardly think Lorimer ia right to leave you unwarned that there is a fearful chance ofyour losing all that you valoe high¬ est.   The shock may be too much   for you."
I feared an ebullition of passion from Isabel, but she had learned mauy a lesson of self- control aince I had known her aa a girl, and she only looked contemptuous.
"(My husband'a absence constrains me to bear his sister's insults in silence," she re-
left alone to exercise a judicious inflnence,; ^n^d, with an air of dignity; "and I wish to you will not regain the place you have loiit. ^ j^^,^ nothing that he ohooses to keep back There mast be some tenderness left for you | f^^^ ^g^ j^^gg y^^^ ^unt, Lily, and bid her in his heart; your love must reanimate it." j good-bye."   And so parted the sisters.

power and influence lost.
I love my children ; bnt we caunot contiuue to live like this. If there is no change for the better on his returu, we must part—we"-— The eutrauce of Mrs. Vivian arrested the conversation ; she appeared in a most elabo¬ rate moruing toilet, and apparently iu super- abnudaut spirits.
"It was cruel of yoa to forbid my wishing my brother good-bye, Mrs. Lorimer," she aaid gaily. " I tried to hail him from my windowi but the noise of the wheela, or hia grief in parting from hia Isabel, made the effort vain. I wish my engagements permitted myatayiog a day or two longer with you till your spirits rallied."
This was intended for sarcasm, for of course, poor Isabel was doing ber best to appearcheer- fnl aud unconcerned, and,as she hadsaid, she had alwaya succeeded so well iu this doubtful ruse aa effectually to deceive her huaband aa well aa her sister-in-law. Mrs. Vivian chatted on whilo taking her leisurely breakfast, uutil the effort of repartee became too much for Is- rbel, aud she left the room under the excuse of going to hernursery. Left thus aloue with tbe stranger guest, a suddeu resolution seized me. I had been studying Mrs. Vivian's coun¬ tenance for some time atteulively, and I came to the conclusion that though her manners might uot please me, there was no indication of want of heart or intelligence in her phys¬ iognomy, and lhat I, in my taru, would make a suddeu appeal. When she arose to excuse herself for leaving me, to make her final ar¬ rangements for her departure, I begged her to remain a few moments longer, as I had a matter of importauce about which I waa auxioua to consult her. SUe reseated herself immediately, with au air of undisguised snr¬ prise ; then, ou a audden, her brow clouded.
"It is about your uiece ?—about Mrs. Lori¬ mer and my brother. Do uot kt us speak of it, my dear Madam. I ahould be really grie¬ ved to hurt your feelings on the subject; but it is one on whioh I cannot trast myself to speak calmly."
She was going, her tactics of retreat evi¬ dently corresponding with those of Mrs. Lor¬ imer ; but I intercepted her boldly.
"Do let me speak," I urged. "I am so thoroughly convinced that Isabel is misunder¬ stood, wronged by both of you ; unconscions- ly, of courae, but atill wronged. A little ex¬ planation"	
But I had cboaen my expressions ill. " Wronged 1" Mrs. Vivian repeated with flashing eyes—" wronged !"
"I beseech you to be patieut," I said, half amiling. " I am but a bungling old woman, but I love my niece aa my own child, and I canuot witneas her unhappiness without some attempt, how^ever awkward to arrest it. Do you imagine she is happy, Mrs. Vivian f"
"Yes, or at least I imagiue her to have a conatitutional guarantee against the reverse," was the reply ; an entirely unmitigated heart- lessnesa. Oh, my dear Madam, yon touoh a sore place by your appeal I I cannot contain myself when I think how my brother has sacrificed himself to that girl I Wise men are the greatest fools in love," she pursued rap¬ idly ; " and when they married he doted upon her shadow. Nothing he could give her was too good for her, or rather he never consider¬ ed how much he gave her. I never liked the marriage, bat I would hare held my peace aud received her as a sister, had she loved him. But she cared nothing for him ! How dared she sell herself thns ? and accept uot only his wealth and position, but hia true noble affection as a mere tribute lo her puerile attractions without having anythiug to give in exchange—not eveu a heart ? What did she reckon herself worth ? and, good Heavens! how loug the mau was befooled!"
Mrs. Vivian paused, exhausted, and I tried to seize my opportunity. J* GraiiS^d'^tUlttr'S&o was guilty of marrying him without loving him." I said; "coosider the great tempta¬ tions offered, not by his positiou chiefly, but by tbe ardor of his own passion ; aud at least she was free from the greater gnilt of loving any one else. Ah, I understand your aneer, Mrs. Virian, but I repeal, you wrong Isabel. She may hare been aelfish, weak and vain, aod have had her young head turued by flat- tfry—her husband's flattery more thau aoy other—^but she haa a heart; ahe feels deeply passionately; she repents the past; she loves her husband now."
Mrs. Vivian shook her head scornfully.¦— "She deceives you, perhaps she deceives her¬ aelf. Sho repenta ihe loss of his love, I doubt not, because it involves the loss of her power; she may even, in the spirit of coquetry, be anxious to possess herself of it agaiu. But lovo, that is, unselfish affection—is beyood her. I think it probable she m.ty dread the consequencess of this alienation, but she need not be afraid ; my brother is ao chival¬ rous that, did he feel her a heavier burden than he does, he would not shako her off at the expense ofher own humiliation. "-
My cheek flushed. I felt loo indignant to find words. Mrs. Vivian perceived it, aud continued more gently : '* We view this mat- tar very differently, of conrse ; but yoa must remember I havo this advantage over you— I bave beeu a witness of their married life— of bis devotion, patience and blindness, of her egregious vauity, exigence, aud selfish¬ ness. But it is over now; she oan never de¬ lude him again. From the moment he be¬ came convinced all his lore had beeu wasted ¦—that there had never been a moment's res¬ ponse to his disinterested affection—that, in fact, she had married him for his money—the enchantment was dispelled. What he has suffered, God only knows. I imagine I hear the tone of his voice now as when he said to me : " She never loved me, Caroline ; she de¬ ceived me from her first kias ; and can you wonder that my indignation is so strong ?"
I was silent. I felt it would be vain to pro¬ test.
"I mnst go," she said, rising, "We will not quarrel over thia matter—^you audi;" and she held out her hand with a smile.
"Only one word more," I aaid, retain¬ ing it, "J/—you may admit it aa a possi- Ihe carriage roll from the door. Isabel claaped j bility—i/there should ever be a hope of rec- hef hands. j pnciliation, you will not mar it ?   I mean

She walked reatlessly up and'down the'     When Mrs. Vivian came down ataira to room.     I had not much to aay iu the way of   take her departure, Isabel was standing '""
impossible to resist external influences, pides I have a passion for children, and even had I not, I must have loved Isabel's. Baby Bella was a paragon of infantile rigor aud beauty, and Lily had all the exquisite ten¬ derness and sweetness of a child destined to but brief probation. To Isabel it waa a great relief to have acme one with her to jvhom she conld confide all the incidents, faults aud dis¬ appointments of her married life, and who never wearied of speculating with her on her chances of reconciliation and happiness. Besides, she was free to follow the bent of her feeliugs; ahe had no part to play, no spurious pride to maintain. Mr. Lorimer's letters were nol of a cheering character; they were cold and reserved in style, and spoke of his business engagements as of a momentous and disasterous char¬ acter, without further explanation. Isabel seemed strangely indifferent on the subject, except as it might affect her hnsband's happi¬ uess ; but I confeaa I waa not ao unworldly. I wrote to my brother, and reqneated him to let ma know what rumors were afloat in London respecting the firm of Glitter & Co.— The answer I received alarmed me. Hitherto, I had never heard Robert express anything but the most extreme admiration for tbe vast extent, financial management, and uuli- mited credit of the establishment; now, he wrote as if it had been from its commence¬ ment a. huge swindle. He said its solvency was doubted, its credit shaken, its immense wealth a delusion. "I believe Lorimer ia the only moneyed man of the batch, aud when tfae crash comes, as come it will, as far as his means go, he will have to pay tho piper.— Had he beeu the prudent man aud affecliou- ate hasband I thought him,' he would hkve aettled tbat fine estato of his on Isabel and her children at the time of his marriages. If he has not taken the precaution of eolailing it, which I very much doubt, he aud every¬ thing must go to the dogs." Theu followed aureasonnble aud selfish, regrets for his daughter, " who might have done so much better," which I spare to the reader.
This letter made me miserable. I dared not tell Isabel, for I did uot feul at liberty to do so, when hor husband kept her in igno¬ rance of his affairs, added to which, I knew not what measure of belief to yield to my brother's statements. There was nothiugfor it but to wait; hut every proof of wealth, every sigu of luxury around rae became irk¬ some and intolerable, Poor Lily's tiny pony- chair with its minature steed, to procure whicb, from its native island, no expense or trouble had been spared-r-even the very ba¬ by's lace robes—assumed a melancholy and sinister aspect to my morbid vision. Isabel's costly dresaes, of which she was so careless, distressed me; the daily elegance oftbe table appointments gave me a pang. I went aboot under a cload, or rather under a paiufui illu¬ mination whicb I dared not shed on my com¬ panion. The ordeal, however, was not desti¬ ned lo last very long. One morning, about a fortnight after I had heard from my brotber, Isabel dropped her bi-weekly paper with a" sudden exclamation. I looked up frightened, yet half relieved at the sight of her pale face aud excited manner. Had the craah come ? Had he told her P I perceived she had stretch¬ ed out her haud eagerly for the morning pa¬ per, which still lay unopened on the table; but her agitatiou bewildered her. She. took it up aimlessly, then put it down, aud tnrned again to the letter, which her trembling hand could scarcely hold.
"Isabel, my darling, my poor child?"   I cried, going up to her and kissing her with fervor—" is—is Mr. Lorimer well ?" ^.¦;She»j?at1hti letter in my hands.    " Readit; give me a few minutes, aud tben coma to me. Aunt Sarah ;" aud she left tbe room. Foor girl! she could not but feel it. Mr. Lorimer's letter began aa follows: "I take great blame to myself, Isabel, that I have kept you ignorant of the state of my affairs until the public papers wiil aunounce my rain lo the world at large this morning; but I have hoped against hope that this ca¬ lamity might liave been averted, and your peace of mind undisturbed."
The Tivies of that morniug curtly announ¬ ced that Messrs. Glitter, of London, had stop¬ ped payment, and that their liabilities were supposed to be euormous. There was nn com¬ ment ; tho public were to wait for detail and criticism.
When I joined Isabel, I found her walking np and down her dressing-room, holding hOf baby in her arms. She looked comparative¬ ly calm, but there was an expressiou of deep anxiety in her face.
I began at once to enter on the subject, for I wished lo harden her for ila disonssiou.
"Now the blow haa falleu," she said, "I feel it deeply. I foel it chiefly for roy hus¬ band, who, I imagiue, has nerer contempla¬ ted the possibility of beiug poor. I caunot conceive how he wili meet it. If there is any disgrace alteuding it, it will kill him, for he is a proud man. Auut Sarah," sho added, passionately, "do yon think thia troable will open hia heart to me ? Do yoa think he will allow me to lore him and console him ?— There is uot a kiud word in his letter, not a relenting phrase. Oh 1 I know how he feels —more bitterly against mo than ever, for he thinks he haa lost all I loved or cared for."
" But now, dear child, you will be able to prove your love."
" How ? Have I anything I cau give him— any resource for bread-getting ? Oh, it is hardi Lily, my tender flower, will uever thrive as a poor ^man's child. Aud I—0 Aunt, I love wealth 5nd ease dearly, dearly !   Poveity will
be bitter"    Her teara choked her.
"Too bitter a price to pay for your hus¬ band's lovo ?" I asked. '*^
I had no wish to blame her inconsiatency, or reproach her for her lack of beroiam. I knew she was showing me the conflict of her heart, and it seemed to me but a natnral one. She was no disciplined, high-minded woman but a passionate, disappointed girl, shrinking at first sight, from tho trouble which I firmly believed she woald, in the end, find strength and conrage to endure and overcome.
"Ah! if I dared hope lhat," she murmnr¬ ed, kissing her child, " I could bear anything, I shall soon know my fate. Oh! how ahall I live till to-morrow F" ,
wero sitting in melancholy mood, wearied of tbe fruitless yet incessant disttnssion of chan¬ ces, at the time of bis arrival, Isabel aprang up on hearing the aouud of his voice in the hall. " What ^all I do ?" she exclaimed clasping her hands. " I am so afraid of inju¬ ring my cause by over-precipjtancy, ao afraid of being misunderstood—repulaed. How shall I persuade him that I lovo him I"
"My darling, it seems to me it has become a very easy task."
We heard his voice approaching in the di¬ rection of oar room. " Oo no aceoant distarb yoar miatresa," ho was saying to Isabel's maid ; "she had no idea I should return to¬ night."
Isabel threw open the door, and stood ami_ ling in the entrance, her dresa, figure, anil lovely face touched with a charming illumi¬ nation from the blaziug pine loga. I thought what a charming, inviting, vision she muat appear to the harrasaed, wearied wanderer coming in from the dark uight.
Mr. Lorimer atopped abruplly; he did not advance towarda her. She had not apoken; but thongh I could not see the expressiou of her face, the light fell upou his, aud showed me the intent, searching gaze.
"Maurice, dare I givo yoa a welcome t"
She sprang forward and threw her arms around his neck. Is it posaible he can put her from him without a moment's return of the old love—an involuntary return to the thrilling embrace? Yes; he frees, himself gently but coldly, and taking her by the haud leads ber back into tho room. He has her now in the full blaze of the fire-light, and he still keeps his hold of her hand—his scrutiny of her face. How altered has his own be¬ come ; how pale and worn! When he spoke at length, the mingled restraint and anguish of hia voice made my heart ache. " Yoa have not received my letter this morning, Is¬ abel ? You are alwaya a careless student of the newspaper?   You do not know ?"
" Here is your letter; there lies the news¬ paper. I am aorry, Maurice—I am deeply sorry. I lore wealth, as yoa know—I dread poverty; but if it was lhe ouly price at which your faith in me could be bought, I am glad we are poor. I have not always loved you—but I love you now; I hare uot done my duty hitherto—I will try and do it now. Believe me—help roe!"
He tnrned from her and covered his face with his hand.
" It is woman's generosity ;" he said ; "the sex's passion for aelf eacrifice."
"It is a Woman's passiou, a wife's love,'> ahe anawered, raising her glowing face. "Mau¬ rice, is it for me to plead ?" She mude as if she would have knelt before him, and throw her arma aronud his knees.
I waited just one half moment to aasure myself, with an old woman's love of demon¬ stration, that she did uot plead iu vaiu. I saw him raise her in his arms, saw the pas¬ sionate kiss that sealed the renewed troth, and indistinctly heard, as I fiitted away Ihrongh the dim corridor, the tones of his voice, tremulous with luorrt thau a lover's ferror.
Three mouths later, Mr. and Mrs. Lorimer sailed for Montreal, where tho former had a brother established as a merchaut. There were not many tears ahed by eitber, for in that tima their love and mutual dependencf had growu so stroug and intimate lhat no grief seemed intolerable which they sbared togetb¬ er. Iu the arrangement of his aflairs he bad been actuated but by oue motive—to satisfy every claim as far aa tho moat seraptiloua honor dictated, even to the last fraction of bis estate. Three handred a year liad beeu affi.x- ed to Isabel as a marriage-settlement, but by some legal inadvertency, the deed proved in¬ valid, aud her littlo fortune went iu the gen¬ eral Wreck. Mr. Lorimer regretted the loss, but I know Isabel was glad of it. Her last words, aa we parted ou the deck of the vesael were to me: "We ahall uot como back to Old England again," ahe said gaily, "tilljre hare grown rich enongh to buy back Morton Leas; so don't fail to let us kuow wheu it is in the market.
This was aaid ten years ago, and uow my old heart beats with the hope of .seeing them once more. To-day I receired my periodical letter from Montreal, aud what says Isabel ?— " We are comiug home. Aunt Sarab, to real¬ ize my prophecy, Morton Leas is in the mar¬ ket, Ihough you h.ave kept a treacherous si¬ lence; nay, it is doubtless our owu, already. Tell my father lhat Maurice says there shall be no delay iu making a rigorous eutail of tbe estate ; and how proud shall you and I be, my beloved aani-mother, to watch our boy flying his kite over his inalienable acres.''
