THE HEIRESS!
EV JANE F. DONP.
The setting sun of aTOctober evening ihrew are'rayBiipon oneof those vine-colored dwellinga so frequently met with m tho Souihern Slate?.. The long portico, M'hidi extended the vyhole lenglh of the housa. was completely embowet- ftd in trniliug honeysuckles, and climbing.ropea . 0? variou3 liinds: nor did their beamy:aeera:at oil impaired by the laieneas Of the-seBson'.--" Though the laiier end of October, no touch of winter had marred their glory. Some of the (oHagii, touched hy ume, riot frpst,, nestled slowly 1') the ground, eoiartninning^ itn-liixuri' ance ns to enable the occupant of the -porch", i young girl oi seventeen or oigbteen' years, lo obtain a view of lhe landscape, which lay Etreiched like a map at her feet,   '
The house stood oh a graceful eminence, and lhe lawn in front, sloped, gradually down toa Hue meadow, in which a herd of cowa were grazing. The lawn'Tvaa dotted with trees ol immense growth, daka, the giant aborigines of I lie conntry, whoao size an^ drooping branches attested iheir ,age, and-, whose remarkable ap. pearance gave the name of Oaklands to the place. Far aa the eye could see stretched lhe land.s of tho farm—fields of Indian corn, in which the harveal aiill remained ungathered, ihoiigh lhe e"ar9 were stripped of tho fodder, leaving, the-rich yellow grain exposed to the in¬ fluence of the Ociobcr .«un. The wheat had long been harvested, and ihe land was ngain being subjected to the plow to prepare it for the next year's harvest.
Beyond these fields could just be discerned a sireak of iighi, which a practised eye would pronmmce a broad stream, but which to a casual observer nppenred a line which ahowed where eartli and sky mingled. On one side the coun¬ try was :r woody back ground of gloomy pines, ihrowinc into strong contrast the gorgeous au¬ tumn hues in which the other dwellers of the forest n'ore clothed. "It woe a fair scene," yet its quiel beauty aeemed tohave no interesl lor Helen Berkeley, the occupant of the portico. Her eyes were fixed upon a distant view of the high-road, and her thoughta wero abstracted.— She herself was an object ol great interesl to a group of negro children of all aizes who were rolling and tumbling on the lawn in from of the house. Their remarka were made, and iheir gambols played lo attract her atlention, but nn- HuccesafuUy, till one, bolder than iho rest, ap¬ proached her, presenting a lull blown rose, say¬ ing, wirh the familiariiy.of a spoiled pet, " You are looking for Massa Hugh, Miss Helen. I reckon he'll be at home lo-nigbl. Sam says he means to come up to-nJght." Miss Berkeley was aroused from her reverie. Taking the roae she eaid, with some sharpness, " Never mind what Sam says, Birk ; it is of no consequence ai ell. But see, the cows have broken into the corn-neld—lell eome one to drive thera out at once." As the boy ran to obey, followed by thc whole troop of lillle imps, a crimson stain sufl'ueed the girl's cheek.
" Can even thai child perce ive how litile my cousin thinks of me, and how great an objeci of interest heia iome. It ahall bc so no longer. He shall not find mo a ripe plum to drop inio his mouih. I will accept Mr. Wes ton's invitation, and Hugh may perhaps learn from my absence that I am of some conaequence to his comfort, if noi to bis happiness. Must he rove the whole couniy in soarch oi pleasnrO; and when tired of the chase return to find me ready lo take the task nf amusing him upon my hands, and when he is ready to say lhe word Mias Berkeley rausi bo ready to go to church witb him, und ilie broad landsof Berkeley——" Tho reverie was interrupted by tho sharp clatter of horses' feet, and a man, young and handsome, v.'ho stxt hitl horse so as almoft to realizn the Table ot the Centaur, appeared.

But Mrs. Berkeley was an invalid, andall the energies of her mind were devoted to spoiling her only aon.
The interforenco of his brother waa resented as imperiinenca, as Mr. Berkeley, the younger, considered himself far more sagacioua in the nianagement of the estate than his senior. But before his final ruin was consummated ho was called to give an- account of bis stewardship, leaving a patrimony encumbered with debts and mortgages lo his little son.
The kindness of his uncle prevented Hugh from feeling any change. Most of his debts were paid ; those tp hirnsclf were never claim¬ ed. Mrs. Berkeley was lett undisturbed iu tlie family mansion, and so far as her pecuniary in¬ terests were concerned, herbrother-inrlaw more than supplied her loss.
He would gladly have charged himself wiih the education ofhi^ nephew, but as this was the unalienable right of his mother, and ua Mrs. Berkeley was tenaciona of this right, ho was obliged to allow her to spoil her son to her heart's conient. Nothing could be more inju¬ dicious than her management of her boy. In¬ stead of counselling him to rely upon his own exertions,'ahe taught him that, as his uncle's heir, exertion was not necessary for him. A fortnno was his by birlh-right, and to aliempl to acquire one by his own industry was unbe¬ coming.
The birth ofhis cousin Helen, whon he was about eight years old; made no difierence in ihia treatment ; for, ifho should not marry hia cou¬ sin—the moat natural thing in the world—Mra. Berkel# thought of course he would bo his un¬ cle's heir.
It was a boast of the family that there had al¬ ways been a Mr. Berkeley, of Berkeley, and of course his uncle, who was known to possess hia share ofthc family pride, would not allow the eslale to go into another name. Siitl, Mr. Berkeley might have a son, but this seemed so cruel a dispensation, so temble a blow fo Hugh's prospects, that Mrs. Berkeley could not bring herself to think of sucb an event.
Destiny was auspicious to her hopes. To He¬ len neither brothers or sisters were born. Her inother diod when she was.about seven years of age, and though her father was yet in the prime of Ufe, years passed on and Mr. Berkeley remain^ ed a widower, and at length all expectations of his supplying (he deficiency in his household was abatidoned. One ofthe first ideas little El¬ len received irom her black attendants was thai she waa born to be her cousin Hygh's wife. A mother's counsel and good aense might have counteracled the mischief liable to ensue from such a prepossession, but Helen waa one of those quiet, undemonstraiivd children, whose thoughts, tardily expressed in words, take the deeper root from thia very cause, and Helen lost her raoiher loo early for her teaching to have much effect. I have said the characlors of the two Berkeleys differed much. The elder bro¬ ther posseased n speculative bul prudent dispo¬ sition. When he first succeeded to his estate, theresourcosof the State ot Maryland wero hardly developed, but thg impulse bad already been given to her commerclar prosperity, and Mr. Berkeley knew how to tako advantage of all tho means afforded by the situation of his land to facilitate improvement. He favored lhe EOOn at his cousin's side. No doubt of welcome constniciion ot canala and railways to such nn clouded hia brow.   Ii was evident he knew he j extent that his less daring neighbors prophecied

situated much nearer. <xhe;thau;gAhle::nyer.wej had been entered-into, yet ti&citly; Heiea w^a re-
was expected; that he knew ho was welcome. If there waa a slighi coolness in Miss Helen's manner, it aflected him not. His greeting was hearty and unconstrained. Her hand was warm¬ ly shaken, and hia first words were, " 1 knew you would look for me, my little cousin, and ihough the Murraya would fain have persuaded me to remain another night, yet I said no, for once, and have broughi mysell home to you.— lim you look grave ; nothing .has happened, I irnai, during my fortnight's absence ? My mother—Emma— are they well? Has all gone well ai the farm ?"
" My Aunt has been sufiering from ono'of her nervous  head aches, Hugh.    Emma is  well as
Ufual.   For the farm ."
" Well never mind the farm now. Time enough to-morrow ior such bothering busiuesa; liesidcs 1 beUeve I have found the man who will set the whole matter right. So no more grave looks, CQZ ; hut let me pay my respects to my moiher."
They entered the house logether, passed through the amplo hall, where the young mas¬ ter was greeted by " Welcome home, Mas'r Hugh," from aeveral smiling domestics, and entered a amall drawing-room or library, for it was furnished wiih book cases well Blocked with hooks, and raiher resembled the latter than the fonnor. A lady, lair and fragile, wilh the remains of some beauly, sat or rather re¬ clined on a lounge at one side of a blazing wood lire, for ihough the evening was mild as sum¬ mer, Mrs. Berkeley's invalid habiis required such au indulgence. Tho opposite seat was oc¬ cupied by a young lady, who, ihough several years older than flelcn^yet, from her fair skin, and a certain child like expression of connte- nanro, looked aa young as Helen Berkeley.
"My son, I am glad to seo you," was lhe <liiiei response of the mother to the respectful bill warm greeting of her son ; " we have miss- t'd you much." " You have been well I hope, moiher !" "As well as usual, I believe, .but my last headache was a severe one," and she glanced ai Helen ; "but seeing you at homo once more already makes mo better. I trust a night's rest will restore me."
The young ladyopposhe Mrs. Berkeley, who bore lhe relation of aunt to Mr. Berkeley, be- ing in fact hia mother's half-sister, was greeted with a kiss, and nothing seeraed wanting to an evening of Quiet onjoyment by the smaH party lhat aesembled,bui aome constraint was evi¬ dently over eacb, and though Hugh's spirits were unclouded, and Helen's ready amile res¬ ponded to hW gayety, Mrs. Berkeley'a low spir. Its commumoaied themselves to tho othera. and Ihoy eoon sepnraicd for the night.
The family oiBerMcy u,d long inhabiied that part of the State of M,ryi,„a to which we have iniroduced the reader. indeed, they boasted of bemg direct doseendamsol Sir Wil liam Berkeley, the blundering old cavalier Gov¬ ernor, who dislinguished himaelf in Bacon's re¬ bellion aa the antagonist of popular libEriy — The Governor's palace, siiU in poBBeaaion\)f lhe family, with its venerable grey walla, Us noble suite of apartments, and above ni\ ^^^ -royal arms worked into panel over the doorj
his ruin. But in this they were mistaken ; (or. prudent as well as bold, his well laid plans gen. erally succeeded, and his property was much in creased in value by his enterprise.
The want of raonej which so often cripples the schemes of the couutry gentlemen, was sup¬ plied to Mr. Berkeley by his. wife, the only daughter of a rich Baltimore merchant, and thus his prosperity had continued unchecked.
Vet in the midst ofhis schemes, Mr. Berke¬ ley found rauch time to bestow upon his daugh¬ ter. At first, upon the death of his wife, look¬ ing upon her as tho pel and plaything of his so¬ cial houra, he would, as had been his cusiom to his wife, detail the plana ho had formed Ibr the increase of his wealth, the cuhivaiion ol the lands, and above all, lor the improvement und comlort of lhe large band of family servants to whom he was both master and friend.
It woa matter ofdelight and surprise to her father to find how aoon the littlo girl compre bended him, and how readily she aided him, ea¬ pecialiy in his plans for the improvement of his servants. Littlo Helen thus becamo her fath er's confidant, and In time his adviser. Instead of sending his daughter to a fashionable hoard¬ ing school, she was brought up at home, her father being equally reluctant to part oA-ith his pel or to receive a governess into his iiouse.— Helen only recoived such instruction as a teach¬ er in a neighboring family could besiow, and as her attendance was by no means regular, and her instructor not remarkably skillful, her edu¬ cation, inthe modern scnfio ofthe term, was de¬ ficient, being ignorant ofmany accomplishments now considered essential for a lady to be ac¬ quainted with. But though her education was imperfect, her training was excellent, and at fif teen ahe assumed her place aa hedd ofher fath¬ ers household, discharging her trust well and faithfully.
Hugh, in lho meantime, was pursuing tho uaual course of spoiled sons of doating mothers. Gay, headstrong, fond of social pleasure, but af¬ feclionate in his temper, generous in hia dispo¬ sition, and a universal favorite from his frank and gentlemanly bearing. He bad been unruly at achool, wild at college, and much indisposed for the quiet duties which had devolved npon him. His abilitiea were good, and had early diacipline given strength to hia purposes and aim to his pursuits, Hugh Berkeley might have been something more than the pleasure-seeking youth which his uncle complained of finding him. But with the early idea implapted in his mind ot being.his uncle's heir, hpw.was ii pos- Bible to aettle himself to farming. : Why should he trouble himself to snidy for a profesaion 7
It is true he did accept his uncle's ofier of defraying-his expenses while he attended the medical lectures in Philadelphia ; but lho plea, surea of a large city were too fascinating for n youngmanof Hugh's dispoaition to resist, and his uncle might have cause to regret that he had thus adviaed his gay nephew. But though ru¬ mors of his gayety'reached" the quiet country neighborhbodi etill no decided delinquency was heard, and all hoped Hugh was.sowing his wild oats, anl'woald become an honor to the Berke- leya ofBerkeley;
Hugh was startled in hia chase of pleasures by laaummonB to the death bed of his uncle.    One
garded ai the>betrpthed' of' hier coiiflin,^. - Her black atteridaniei withthe freedom pTiheirrace, often alluded to^itV and though checked by the innate mod^sty^df their mistress, yot-as it v^aa- evident their sUon'ce waa only- compelled;by their obediencp'tb Met, as in tho familiar inier- course.of the family-aljusion waa often madeto their alt residing at Berkeley, no wonder that Helen, whoJooked uponher father's wishes as commands, should consider her destiny as fixed. Hngh had gtven-'up his profession, and thouEh the social pledsurea of the." counlry olten drew hini from. home, yet had he never inieresied himself so much iu the culture of his estato, never had afibrded such promise of settling do.wn imo what, abpTO all things, Helen wished him to be, a quiet country genlleman.
Though Helen was now aeventeen, yei her cousin had never had his fears aroused by the appeariince of a rival. For so well was the re¬ lation beiween them underBtood.that by his country neighbora it would: hnve been thought an infringement of Hugh Berkeley's righis to have aspired to thehaud of his cousin. Mrs. Berkeley much desired that a definite engage¬ ment ahould Lake place, but as the temper of her son, was one that did notreadily brook in¬ terference, as he seemed daily becoming more and more dependent on hia cousin, she prudent¬ ly forbore' lo interfere, ond" yielding lo her natural indolence waa allowing Helen lo perform her duties as mistress of the household, when her quiet was disturbed by a messenger from Mr. Weston, Helen's other guardian, urging her tovisithiminNew York. Mr. Weston had often remonstrated against Helen's being immured in the coumry, but being a bachelor, had never be¬ fore been ablo to offer her a residence with him. But as he bad lately married and removed to New York, now, with something like authori¬ ty, he urged hia right to receive Miss Berkeley as his guest, at least.
Ifer imperfect educalion had beon the source of much trouble to her guardian, and this might in eome degree be repaired by a residence in the city. Hugh was absent, and Mrs. Berkeley saw with aome dismay Helen inclined lo avail her¬ self of the advantages ofiered.
" You know aunt, I am very deficient in many ihinga young ladies of my station are ex¬ pected to know. Even Hugh wishes I could play like Miss Leigh. I am quite senaible that a residence with Mr. Weston would be the best thing for me,"
"But your cousin Hugh, Helen'. He will never allow you" to lisave him thus. Your father's request! Surely you mean to comply wilh it? He—all—myself. Emma, and Hugh more than all, expect it. It appeared lo me it was all settled; and now, my dear Helen, you talk of leaving us aa calmly os if no snch tie ex¬ isted."
A bluah, partly of anger, partly of modesty, crimsoned the girl's cheek. *' I know ofno tie that can interfere wUh Mr. Weston's request.— You have Emma with you, dear aunt," her tone Bofiening as she went on, " and I do not think you will miss mb ao very much ; and if any¬ thing serious should happen, railroads and steamboats will soon bring me to you again. It 18 noi as it used to be when you made your wedding tour, when you were a fortnight going to Baltimore in your own coach." She spoke lighily. Bul her aunt repeated, " But Hugh, Helen !—but your cousin!" Helen left the room. Poor Mrs. Berkeley! No wonder her headache was a severe one. She was not par¬ ticularly mercenary, but to see the only scheme she had ever planned ihuascaitered to the wind, to SCO the young people thua throwing away their happinesa as she supposed, waa more than she could bear, and twenty-four hours scarcely restored her to her usual spirits. It was the prospect ofthia departure whicii thus depressed the spirits ofthe party at Oaklands
Like all spoiled children, Hugh" Berkeley's wishes wore inflaiiifld by opposition. As long aa hia couain Helen remained ai Oaklands, quietly but surely anticipating his wants and administering to his pleasures, Hugh thought but little of the future. But now, when there was a chance of lua losing her, her value waa increased in Itia eyes. He becanie aware hbtt necesaary she was to his happiness. But lie knew hia cousin had some regard for hiin, he knew he had no rival, and he also knew lhat Helen regarded her father's wiahes aa law.— It was not, therefore, with auy love-liko diffi¬ dence or serious apprehenstons of a rejection of his suit that he sought his cousin at an early hour in the morning—where he knew he was sure of finding her—in the flower gardei'i. Amid ihegorgeousbut fleeiing beauty of early autumn, the vows were exchanged, nnd they stood at last upon lhe porch of the old mansion as plight¬ ed lovers. " And now. my dear Helen, you will give up this mad journey to New York, whicii my mother lold me of, and which robbed me of a night's rest. We must write lo Mr. Weston, and aak his consent, of course; it will bo a propor compUment to the old gentlemen ; and we'll ask him to the wedding wilh hia young bride, who is said lo be remarkably pret¬ ty. Will not that be all right, nut belle cousin ? You do not answer. Why do you amile ? I dread that quiet smile of yours. It ia generally the precursor of one of your fits of obstinacy, that annoys me somuch." Inthe freedom of cousinly intercourse Hugh forgot he was an affianced lover.
" You are quite right, cousin, I am going lo be very obstinate.   I fully intend going lo New York this winter." " Then I will go with you." "You, Hugh!   No—what  will my aunt— your mother—do if we both leave hor ?"
Then stay at home, Helen. What do you want of accomplishments ? Vou know more now than half the womenof my acquaintance.— You know enough at least for-
"Fora farmer's wife, I suppose you would say. But slill, I repeal, I am determined to oc cept Mr. Weston's invitation. Bui you, Hugh muat slay at home, and take care ofyour moth¬ er and Emma ; and not allow that horrid man to abuse the servants, as lhey say he does. Y must look afier Berkeley, too, and try to let everything go on as my dear faiher did
"Thank you, Miss Berkeley, for your care ofmy happiness. I am to do all this while you are far away from me, and when I shall be tor¬ mented by a ihousand fears lest Mr. Weston should induce you to give up your engagement, which I know he never favored. You will be surrounded with all the gayety ofthe city. You will bo admired, followed. You will learn "to despise your country cousin."
" You do not think so, Hugh ; but il such is your opinion of me, surely it is much betier to test the strength of these, tiea before it is too late, and if I should prove weak and eillyaa you eay, you will have Utile causo to regret me.— That must be a very poorand weak affection that cannot stand the test of a six monlhs'ob- sence."
What pleasing dreams of future happiness. of  domestic  bliss;   of   duties  sweeter, thon
leeied tho validity of the. claim.   Unlike mon Lf those billious fever^ prevalent'in W'aouth ol  the   colonial   aristocracy, of Vtrgmia  -ndlern cib„e, carried liiih off in-the very vigor oi
Maryland, the Berkeley's faad continned to re- lain something more than the baro thie of ^en- uy. They had always possessed,a consideriible poriion of the bulwark of arialocracy—wealth. Notwithstanding the prejudicea in favor of her- ' editary right, derived from the headslroDg.oId Governor before mentioned, the Borkeleya took lhe popular eide in the rebellion against',the moihcrcountry, thus saving their ample lands from conflagration.
Two opposiie characters mighi befound the descendants of these old .colonial nobility. For whilaone of the race with lhe narao would inherit the bold, rash temper, the careless ex¬ travagance, and lovo of eocial pleospre proper to ibedeecendanta of the old cavalier, another wOuld seem to have imbibed $ome of the cau¬ tion, prudence and farBightedhessofthe Puritan ¦ rwe.

Mr.q. Berkeloy-'B disapppiniraent was greater
on finding Hugh" was by no means
A sufficient portion of his ea-
pleasures, haunted the dreams of Helen BerkOr ley. So affectionate, so thoughiful of her com¬ fort, seemed Hugh, that she chid herself that one doubt of hia future character should have crossed her mind. She was half tempted to give up her visit lo New York, ond begin at onco that Ufe of felicity that. lay stretched be¬ fore her, in fancy, in such glowing colora. But as her answer had already been despatched, and Mr. Weston himself came to fetch her, even her timid aunt thought ii best that Helehshould go, and in little more than a weok from the'iime of engagement, the. uusophiaticated .country girl was transplontediar.from the scene of her antiquaied happiness, from quiet country life and pleasures, to a most elegant house in bhe'of the most fashionable parts of New York city.
" She ia countryiied to a degree/', siiid pretty, faahionable Mrs. Weston to her.younger sister, after welcoming Helen cordiaUy, almost-affez-* tionately, and seeing^herio her room.   ¦

Mrs/ Wea- ton cast a look in the splendid mirror lhat reflect¬ ed the elegant person whose charms had attract¬ ed the staid old bachelor of five and forty, and saved her from the drudgery she deprecated for her sister. Fortunately forMr. Weston, Mary Temple possessed, beside hor pretty person, an afiectionave, grateful disposition; oud though it must be ccnfessed her poverty and forced resi¬ dence with h^r grandmother (whose narrow in¬ come these twogirls shared,) had led her at first to liaten to Mr. Weston's addresses, yet the gratitude she felt to hint for.freeing her from   disagreeable siiuation, soon deepened into an af¬ fection as warm as her gentle nature waa capa¬ ble of feeling. Kate was ofa far different char¬ acter from hersister. Impetuous and warm in her lemper, capable of sirong attachment, ex¬ aggerating both the good and the evil; and though,.like her sistor, she had been led from circumstances to: place much importance to weahh and Btation, yet she could not like her attach heraelf to any one who could release her from the evils of poverty ; yet had she aliU less paiience to bear Ihe ever recurring theme ofher father's extravagance and her mother's folly; which her grandmother cHoso to entertain her with. Theirs was a common story. Their moth¬ er had married, contrary to the wishes ol her friends, a young man of Irish extraction, a Lieu¬ tenant in the Uniied States Navy. Desiring to placo hia wife in'the same affluence in which she had been born, proud and high spirited, he had given up his commission for the purpose of en¬ tering into mercantile business. For some time he was apparently successful, but some specula¬ tion terminated unfortunately. To retrieve hia errors he embarked in stUl more daring ven¬ tures, and the conaequence ofcourse was ruin. His mind was not one to bear reverses. He soon Bunk to the grave, his death hastened per¬ hapa by the loss ofhis .wife, who had died ol conaumpiion some few years before, but whose stronger cbaracter might have enabled herhus¬ band to bear his disaster like a man. The girls, thus deprived of their noturol protectors were thrown upon the guardianship of their mother's mother, a stern old matron, who had never quite forgiven her daugfater for her imprudent mar¬ riage, and whose temper had by no meana^im* proved by the gradual decrease of faer once am¬ ple income. No wonder two girls brought up as Mary and Kate Temple had been should chafe at the reluctant assistance thus afforded ihem, while lhey were daily compelled lo witness tha cares that asmall income must entail- No won¬ der Mary eacaped as soon as possible, lo ex¬ change her grandmother's'gtoomy mansion and the chidings of her two maiden aunts, for the comfort and splendor of Mr. Weston's house, while Kaie resolved various plans to free her¬ self from the same thraldom.
The two girls soon became friends. The aim* ilarity of their situations in some respects brought about this intimacy.
They were orphans. True, thero woa some difierence between tlie wealthy heiress and the pennylesa girl dependant on the bouniy ol rela¬ tions, whose narrow income she shared reluct¬ antly. Bul there was nothing of the pride of wealth about.^Helen, and Kale wasao.mttch richer in nature's best eifta, she- was so hand¬ some, so brilliant, so accomplished, for every advantage ofmodem education had been lavish¬ ed on these two girls, and Kate had profiled well by these advaniages.
Early iniroduction inlo society, too, had giv¬ en her an ease and readiness in tho exchange of those brilliant nothings that make up the chajm of modern con versation, while Helen's retired Ufe made her manners seem cold and shy. Bul her admiration of Kate waa so genuine and her sym¬ pathy was so readily given, ihat she soon be- carae the confidant of all Kate's grievances.— Helen wasjust oneof those charactera that na¬ lurally inspire confidence ; ahe seemed ao com¬ pletely to cast aelf aside, and enter so fully into the feelinga ofher friends. She had often been the confidant ofher cousin Hugh's iroubles, and her mediation had frequently softened the an ger ofher father, aroused by hia knowledgeof some of his nephew's mad pranks. To her aurit she had been invalqable in this reapect; and the irouble of a Southern establishment afibrded ample theme for ihe never ending, still begiu' ningcomplaint of the good lady. But though an excellent confidant, Helen waa not hers^ communicative, and thus though in Uttle more than a week she was acquainted with all tho thoughts and feelings of the warm hearied Kale, yet ofher own cherished feeling she had imparl¬ ed nothing. This reserve was partly of nature, but more from her retired mode of life. She had never associated witfa a young person of her own oge and sex before; and she could not at once overcome her reluctance to speak of faerself— Her dark attendant was not so reserved, and with aU tfae love of gossiping ofher belters tha belongs to hor cl^Svof whatever color,) sfae soon contrived to inform Miss Templo of faer mistress' opproaching marriage wiih her cousin. " You Bee, Miss Temple," said the consequential wait, ing maid, " it would never do for Mi.ss Helen to marry any one but a Berkeley. Our family haa always kept up the name in lho couniy. So them gentlemen that's making up to Miss Helen may just save themselves the trouble. She will never marry none ofthem, I ossure you
"I wos not aware till now," said Kate, the next time she was alone with her friend, "that I had the honor of being called friend by one of tfaose august personages whoae destiny ia fix¬ ed from their cradle, and to whom the duty of keeping up the family name must supercede all consjderaiions of affection and fancy, I did not know that ihoso missives which go so regularly every week were addressed to our king consort, that is to be. What a sly girl you are .Helen ; faere have I laid open every thought and feeling ofmy heart—all my disUke.of aunt Susan'a homilies—all her jealousy ofold Mr. Winihrop's attention, in short all the events of my life, and you havo never even condescended to mention your own feelings', and'wben yoti had sucfa an interestingsacret to communicate too... Come, now Helen, make a cleiin breast and tell me all about this very romantic love affair."
;' There is no romance or secretin the matter, Kate. When.I said ypii should hve with mo at Berkeley, did you think wa wera to set up faouse there by ourselves^ or did you purpose carrying bid Mr. Winthrop withyon V*
"Ofaiio, you horrid creature!

Helen, smiled.-She had some idea,'that lhe yoUng clergyman who hsid lately been called to i the rectorship of the pariah in the neighborhood bf Berkeley,, was niuch intereBted in thb heir¬ ess of Berkeley, biit she knew his mind would

But her warm affect ions, were unchanged; and each member of the hoiisehold was enquired for with eager interest. Kvecrber father's euperan* uated old hound wuej not forgoiten.
"But I must introduce you to my new friends Hugh,wfaom I am learning to love almost as well as those at home,"
'* Almost, Helen! AhT I am afraid quite as well. You certainly have not sufiered much, from our separation."
" Well, I do not think you have, pined," was the anawer aa she looked at the fine erect form; manly port, and noble countenance ofthe last representative ofthe houseof Berkeley, and con trasted the broad chest and shonlders of the country gentleinan with the puny^'sbns of com¬ merce andtrade, she.had .lately been in the habit of aeeing ; and withsomo pride, she pre¬ ceded her cousin into the'drawiiw.rddm, to in¬ troduce him to her friends. Mrsi Weston and Kate.
"So that in the counlry^couaiSi," said Kate Temple to herself, as she stood before the glass arranging her hair for the njght.. *' No wonder Helen Berkeley despised, the wooinga of city swains. Surely ihere is some vinue in this gentle blood, that Phebe lays such stress upon. He is a lover worth loving. But not much ofa lover, though ifl am much^^Uled in such affairs, by far too cool for ray tasle 7 But then they have been brought up together, end that makes some difierence, I suppoae. After all I believe tfaere is very litlie lovo in ¦ the' bnamesB^-not what I should call love; it will satisfy-Helen, no doubt, for she is too—not cold exacily-^hut too gentle, too matter of fact to love as I could love,"—and Kate fell into a loug speculation upon the slate of feeling between the cousins; ebding.in recol- lepiionsof the manly grace of Hugh Berkeley's person—of his manner, sb deferential; yet so free from foppishness ; falling asleep while the tones of his full rich voice sounded in her ears. Her first thougfat lhe next morning was, '.* Helen Berkeley ia incapable of jove." Nor was faer opinion changed when she found that Helen, far from aeeming pleaaed with Hugh's declara¬ tion, tfaat he should stay arfeaai a month in the cily," rather objected lo it. "What will my aunt do without you ?"
" Oh ! I left my honored uncle,' Mr. Alfred Hunter, wilh faer; he will supply all deficiencies tfaat my absence creates." " He cannot toke your plnce Hugh." Hugh appealed to Kate : " la not ifaia a moaf fiattering reception, Miss Temple; my couain thinks a few days ofmy company qiiiteaufEcienl —and would despatch me into-night*a train back to tfae dullness of the country, tfaough she faas positively refused to enlivpii that aolitudo with her society!'.'
"It is very ungraieful in her, cerlainly, Mr. Berkeley, but tako my advice and do not leave New York till afier tlio holidays. We shall soon be in the very height of tfae season, and I think I can promise you some amusement."
" But duty, Kale," siid Helen, " duly beiore pleasure, you know."
"Oh! what a terribly, strict person you arC; Helen ; I declare I woi^d pot pass my" Ufe with you, for any considoratton: Such a tap,.tapping you would keep at one's conscience oil the lime lhat I for one should do the very thing you warned me againat juat out of contradiction. Is Helen your aecond conscience, Mr. Berkeley ; ifso, let me recommend yoH to break the re¬ straint ai once ; for ifyou once allow her tobe heard, sfae will prove a dreadful lyrnni, 1 speak from experience,"
" And you would advise nie to ahow my inde¬ pendence ?" " Certainly."
" You will defend me from the attacks ot the enemy ?"
'* As far as 1 am able, I assure you I need a defender sometimes myself,"
" Thon let it be a mutual alliance, tor defence againsi the common enemy." " So be it. It is a compact." A tnOntfa passed, and Hugh perkoley etill lin¬ gered in llie ciiy. Helen forbore lo mention fais depai'ture ; for sfae found lhe subject irritated faim, and she possessed that rare quality in wo¬ man, of knowing wfaen to hold faer tongue, and besides she felt tfaat for some cause, not quiie apparent, her influence over her cousin was not as great as it had been. A feeling partly selfish, too, kept her sileni. It was very pleaaant to faave Hugh in New York, and he was continu¬ ally wilh her. Their evenings were all passed together, and the trio (for Kale, thougii she had at first feored aho should, bo considered de trap, was always of the party) never seemed weary of each otfaers company.
Did it never occur to Helen faow necessary to tfae completion oflhe evening's happinefs was tfae company ofKate ? Did she not perceive faow reatless Hugh was until Kate's mirthful spirit enlivened the party 7 That the first quea¬ tion WOB, " Could you not persuade Kate lo stay this evening ?" And then in a few moments— "Ifl were to walk down for faer, doyou not think sfae might be induced to join us ? Come, write a note, Helen, and make me lho bearer of it; I will reiurn with her in a trice. And the note was written, and Kate seldom tailed lo ap¬ pear in the conrso ofifae evening, ifaougfa per- faaps aometime would elapse before the pair made their appearance. But Helen was not suspic¬ ious. She would aomatimes have preferred a quiet chat with Hugh on their countiy affairs, but then she had been alwaya accuatomed to seek his pleasure before hei own ; from a child she had heen taugfat it, and she rejoiced that Hugh liked her friend so much, and thought with pleaaure of having Kate an inmate of Berkeley, And ao the time passed oUj ond Hugh's re¬ turn ceased to be mentioned, though Helen knew that both his mother and agent had written again and again to urge hia reiurn.
And Helen Berkeley, soon fotind though Kate*B preaence was indispensable to Hugh's happiness, her? was not so essential;
A severe cold kept hei: confined to her room for some daya, and she often listened, as she re¬ clined on her c<\uch, to the rich,' clear voice of Kate Temple iisitrose in oneof Hugh's fovorite songs; or Hugh's voice in gay conversaiion—a voice whicfa she could never rnistake for any oifaer, so olear were its tones and ao marked was tfao southern accent. Kale's visits to herroom too were short andhttrried; she seemed restless and uneasy in her friend's preaence. A hurried kiss and a few words 61 inquiry were almost all she could now find time to give^io one in whoso sociely she had hitherto, found so^muchplea^re But Helen, aa I said be.fore, was nbt of a jeal¬ ous disposition, and though some sense of neg¬ lect on Kate's part wonlttgiye a liltle coldness to her inanrier,;yet she teased' away. such un¬ worthy thoughts.- She Warf'becoming'frerful froni her confihement; she wms'd^t^rmihed hot to bo kept Ili her rooni any longer epiie of the doctor's command*; -sTie would ^rap herself .tip. and make her appearance in the library, ahd-.by her cheerfulness and kindness try to do away with the impression she' leared-.her crosEness mnst have mode uponKmte in the morning.-^ Poor Kate! whofhad so little of comfort'at home—it waatoo badof herwho jtnew all her trouble tor add onoiinhappy momeitt to her life. And Miss Borkeley, calling her nuiid, hastened to put hor resolve in action.
" Mr. Berkeley and Mifis Temple* are in the library,'' and her dark attendant, speaking whh the most accurate imitation of Northern pronun¬ ciation, (for Phebe prided herself upon (his new acquisition) but like the barbarian at Athena, betrayed her foreign origin from her veiy accu¬ racy.

A Novel Duel.—"We find the following in the Eddyville (Ky.) Telegraph :
Two yonng bloods of our city becoming of¬ fended at some imagmary insult, a challenge was.pasaed and accepted, as botb thought noth* log bnt blood oonld. wash out the inealt. The temi9 on which tfae challenge was accepted were these—that they should meet at Dr. N.'a office, and be bled until ono or the other ahonld be satiafied. They accordingly met, and tbe Doc-: tor opened a rein for them. They bled until both becoming extremely weak, and looking as white as their own linen, pronounced them¬ selTea satisfied.   So ends this bloody affair.

I. There ate three companions with whom you should always keep on good terms:
1. Your wife.
2. Your stomach.
3. Yonr conacience. II. Ifyou winh to enjoy peace, long life, and
happiness, preserve them by temperance.   In temperance produces:
1. Domestic misery.
2. Premature death. 8. Infidelity. To make these points clear, I refer yon :
1. To the Newgate Calendar,
2. To the hospitals, lunatic aaylnms, and workhouses.
3. To the past experience of wbat you have seen, read, andsufiered, in mind, body and estate.

TVpElW YORK, May 31, 1853.—THe
Xl Directorsof the Association for the Exhibition oftbe Industry of all Nations, give notloa tbat the Exhibition wlU be opened on the l&tbof July.
In making thta announcement, tbe Directors avail themselves of the opportunity to state that tha bulld- ing which they havo erected, and the Exhibition thoy have'prepared, will, they believe, ftiUy meet 'the just expectations-of the public. • ^   r
it is proper that it should be'known that, in order to afford ample scope for the inventive talent and skill of our countrymen in machinery and agricultural imple- monts, we have increased the sUe oftbe building, by adding nearly one fourth to Its azea, l)oyond what was originally contemplated, so that we have now for the purposes of exhibition two bundred thonsand square feet, or nearly fivo acres.
Not limiting their plana to a display merely curious or attractive, the Direotors have organized a deport¬ ment of mineralogy and geology, iu wliicb some of the best scientific talent of the country has been employ- ed; and tbe foundation is thus.laid of a most valua¬ ble national collection of the mineral resources of tbe county.
Tbe Directors had hoped to open the Exhibition at an earlier period, but the noveltyand Intricacy of the style of construction and thebigh standard of archi tectural beauty wbich It has been the object of tbe Aa^ sociation to attain, have produced delay, and It bas been Impracticable for tbe Directors, notwithstanding their utmost vigilance, and their most earnest desire, to announce the opening at an earUer day.
In regard to the general character ofthe exhibition tbe result promises toba most gratifying, and not un¬ worthy of the conSdence manifested towards It by the government of the United States; a confidence which bos elicited a cordial response frotn the governments of foreign countries. It wjll, unquestionably, be the most attractive and interesting collection of tbe works of art. the resnlts of Bolenee and the prodnctions of Iudusiry, that has ever yet beon mado In this country, and will tend to increase tbe active emulation of the age In every brancb of intellactuai developement.
The sole charge of tbc interior oftbe building, its division, arrangement, clasMfieatlon and police, has been confided to two officers of tbe Navy of the United States, CapUInS. F. Dnpont andC. H.Davis ; and the sanction of the government given to the appointment ef these gentiemen, who haye so- much distinguished themselves In thespeelsl services in whieh they have been employed, afTords proof of the confidence reposed and tbe interest felt, by the highest authorities of the country, in the general ohjeets of the enterprise.
Theie gentlemen bave organized tbeir department asfollows:
J. M. Bitchelder, Secretary ofthe Saperlntendent; 3. Webber.ArraDgementof Space andClassiflcatlon; Prof. B, Silliman, Jr;, Mineralogy and Chemistry; B. P. Jthnson, Agricnltural Implements; Joseph's. Holmes; Maohtnery; Edward Vincent, Textile Fabrics; Felix Piatti, Sculptnro.
The Official Catalogues aod ttiB Illustrated Weekly Record of the exhibitions are to be published in the builditig,by MessrE, O. P. Putnam & Co., under tbe su> pervision of tbe Association.
TheDIrectorsbave sensibly felt the confidence re posodlnthemby their fellow oitizena, in all parts of tbe eonntry; and tbey will contlnr^-to mako every ef¬ fort It satisfy their just expectations. DIRECTORS

For outside use,exposed to weather or water. Zinc Paints, wlU retain their color and preserving qualities long after other Paints are destroyed.
Sd, TbeWbileZiuc Paints willcover (equal weights) about two-thirds more surface than pure lead; this, in coRuexiou with their grcitcr dnrability, makes, in the long run, the cost of painting with Zinc less than balf he cost with Lead. Brownand Brown Stont C'u/or Zinc Paints, which are sold at low prices, are well adaptedfor painting roofs, out-biHldinga, and all mctaUic surfaces, particu¬ larly Iron, wbich they effectually protect from ru.stiog, exposed either to heat or weather.
