her sweetest unite, ad her gentleness of tae and look had almost warmed the heart of Clara into affection. Mrs. Malverton treated Intel with lodffierenee tometieoes with coldness' hot her husband amply repaid her neglect. - Already he lored Isabel as a daugh ter; and how detotedlj she returned that lore I he was the only object tor Iter heart to ding to, a .vi she was so verv like her mother, tbat ofttimes in the heart of her oneh she brought back the ollen Itme of his the sister ol his childhood. Duch seclusion as Isabel persisted in, began at last 10 affect her health; her cheek was far paler than its wont, her eye grew heav v, her strt slow. tier ancle noticed the chance, and anted change in her habits; Clara joined her father, declaring tsabelnwbald mope herself to death lilting in. her chamber from mornine till night;" Isabel, yielding to their persuasions, roue our, walked, joined the Tamil circle when visiter were present." . . tVrchance, if Clara Maverten Could have read aright her own heart, she had not coun seMed Isabel lo leave her seiluston; she had never supposed for one moment, that her cous in would draw away any portion of that at tention, she had been accustomed to receive. But there was a Wondrous charm in Isabel's manner, to win the admiration of all who approached her, and Clara taw her the object of attraction and interest, greater far than she had ever beeu in her palmiest days. The dark passion oCenz stirred Within her bosom that passion so contemptible in itself, and so degrading in its consequences. How often has it dimmed the brightness of Woman's youth, and marred the glory of her beauty 1 ' Among the gentlemen who visited at Mr. HalverWs. Ilarrv Srdenham and Edward Merton were upon terms of the greatest intimacy. The tatter gentleman, generally de signate as nea Merton, Was bt , remarkably fine figure; he read well, rede well, and lattghed musically long association with good society had given him the quiet fnse and self possession natural to men of the World. With all these advantages" there was somei.aug repulsive in the countenance ofied perchance it Was the vast redundancy of W Wis ken perchance it was the black stork worn witliout a shirt collar, "which will impart a cast of vulgnrily to the finest face," (I quote, see Mis Leslie,) or tt might t the little black eyes that twinkled most villainously from out their mass of flesh let it be what it would, Isabel turned away in dislike, for she thought upon that face she could trace the lines wrought by meanness and hypocracv. Merton possessed a small vearlv income, barely sufficient for his sunbort: he was an incorrigible idler, a hanger on in the houses of the rich it suited him Well to partake wrgeiy ot tne hospitality of Mr. Malverton. To th daughter he was useful he made parlies when there was none attended her when ho better bean presented-humblt bow ed himself out or sight, when they did. Mahad ne thought what a desirable thing it would be for him to marry Clara uU uuiyuangiuer, ner lather reputed very wealthy surely nothing could be better I Nor was he quite without hope, for nearly four years he had paid her unremitting atten tion; he wasalwars a favorite with fLbtr.ii,t although the looked Upon his homage as something the was of right entitled tor Sf he Was absent she missed his fiatterv, and never , iu iei mm anow now much pleasure hi 6" "cr.

Isabel looked up ns Srdenham ceased when she met his gate her heart throbbed within her bosom, and her mind awoke to the truth av, in that hour as Ilarrv Svden ham looked upon her, in her youth, her innocence, and exceeding loveliness, he deemed there was no sacrifice , too great to win the love of Isabel Everett. Another eye had made the same discovery as Isabel Clara had note4 all; and she fell at that moment as though her cousin had been guilty of treachery to herself, in win ntng the love ot Harry Sydenham. isoei nan - Been at ints lime lor some . k I . t ......

The lot or Isabel was lonely ; there was hone to love her of her own sex. Clara was cold, Mrs. Malverton almost unkind; and sometimes she wished that far off uncle would give her the means to form around her a home a circle of her own. It was the moraine af ter Sydenham visit, that Mr. Malverton was taken extremely ill; his seizure was of the paralytic nature, and though utter n time the alarminir svmntoms naesed off. the nhvd rln directed that lie should be kept very quiet, no agitating vewt uld him nothing, In short mat would excite him.

This foible in him it almost a defect; frequently leading htm to approve a degree of ptl in women, hot gent-rally admired, or much approved. -I am per suaded,if ho roul&be brought to think from any circumstances, that Isabel, rather than resign the splendour that surrounds her, would uvm.niiu i neu i, miu ii u iru na; ion, ne wouia lose all respect for her. She would sink into the character of a toady,' than which no thing can be more contemptible. - "How is this to be managed f ' asked ' her mother..

"He need . never know It," as the reply; "is he not confined constantly to his sick room! before him we can be guarded. Hut mammait will not do for me to art in this matter. You mutt say things bitter to her hard, hard for the dependant spirit to bear: it will he mv part to shield Isabel from your anger, and so judiciously will I play it, that Harry will beiieve me her friend. luibel is proud, but her heart ovei flows wilh affection for my rather; she has become indispeusibty necessary to his comfort, and for his sake, she would bear much in silence. Yes,I do justice to her vir tucs;sne would never betmy the wife and daughter, lest upon the husband and father the blow should fall so heavilv as to drtlrov his peare. . There is but one thing can mar our plan a teller from India should that sterm old man rclenf, when he hears of his sisters death, and continue to Isabel the in Come settled upon her mother s Sydenham nil know at once, that whatever was the cause of forbearance in Isabel, U was nof a mean sub serviency for the sake of interest."

She could not understand the innocence and softness of character, and Mie ran into an error the very artful arc liable to do sue oeiieveu her a hypocrite. Very readily she entered into the spirit of Clara's plot, scl,ri7 rcwiMngnot topare,whcn the opportunity offered of putting it into execution. On the afternoon of that day, Clara left uie uousb lor n waitc; she kept the high road that led lo the towu for some lime, as she was about turning off in n direction leadinir i it... river, she saw Edward Mertott rapidly ad vancing nu.l signing for her lo stop.

He walked soma distance with het, striving, by the re spectful deference othis manner, and his in sidious flattery, to reconcile her to him and to herself. Unce master or her secrets, and he resolved in due time to make her his wife; or by exposing her fharacter,bring shame upon her head, she would never indure. ' He hltl knew Clara Malverton, or the towering pride or her determined nature she would have died, ere she would have given herself to pov erty ond Wed Merton. At the door Clara parted with Merton; her self-confidence restored, and the guilty pangs in her bosom stilled, by the powerful opiates administered to her vanity.

It was long since Isabel had received any marks of affec lion l mm her aunt, but she whs auite unpre ...... pared for rebuke ; she made an attempt to an swer, but htt heart was too deeply wounded; Unable to command herself, she left the room. As she went out, Mrs. Malverton said, "The woman who would sacrifice bcr independence or mind, for the bread she eats, nnd the gnr men's she wears, would sicrifke her Integrity oT character fb. as' light a cause."
