A TALE.

Donna Josephs, still continued to vi.it the family of Carlino. There was residing with Don Felix a maiden sister, the Senora Paulina, with whom Gaston was a great favorite. lie had taken pains to humor the whims and oddities of the old Spanish prude, and she was pleased in proportion. Gaston, moreover, was a frequent, and not unwelcome visiter at the table of all the gentry tn the district; and his gentlemanly habits and address, together with his reputation for wealth, caused him to be

esteemed 'bon ioi.' Since the refusal of his offei by Josepha, he had still coniinued to pay her slight attentions; but in so delicate a manner as not to give offence. The fair girl, in

whose composition there was not one element of coquetry, in-'tead of harboring a wish to triumph in the misery of a rejected lover, was pleased to observe the cheerfulness with which Gaston bore his humiliation: and his repeated kindnesses to her, endued her with a gratitude and friendship for him, she had never before felt. Little did she know the heart

she was pitying little did she know the web that she was weaving to ensnare Apr happiness, who would have done much for his. That smile was sardonic that cheerfulness was as

sumed; the thorn was festering in the heart of the r jecled Gaston. On a beautiful evening, not long after the

chapter nr. Francis Gaston, whom we have already introduced to the reader, was a man of less than thirty years of age rather handsome than otherwise; but a malicious expression might be frequently detected upon his countenance, when his thoughts were wandering away from his ordinary occupations. He was a native of New Orleans, but had settled some years before in Natchitoches, combining the occupations of merchant and planter, a thing by no means uncommon in the south west. He was reputed

wealthy, which he really was. Possessing a fine estate in the neighborhood of the village, and'a mercantile business of no small extent. He had charge also of the post office, und the mail arrangement to the Texan frontier. There was no moral blemish against his char

acter, and if he were not lvea in me cominu- occurrences related in the previous chapter, a nity, he was at least respected by all.

pacilies for action. Uaston nao lormeny They entered and sal do -vn. A table ol carv

ed wood stood in the middle of the floor, covered with writing materials. Gaston took up

a pen, and made some flourishes upon a blank sheet of paper. "Ladies favor me wiih your autographs, that I may judge between you which is the better scribe penmanship is becoming quite an accomplishment for young ladies. You, Ma'mselle Perrot, I doubt not are a beautiful writer?" ' No no," said Adele, laughing, "though I am a lawyer's daughter, I am but a poor scr ibe. Joepha, however, writes better; you will ex

cuse me from want of practice, as I have no!

yet written my first love letter." "Nay, that I could not credit except from your own lips, Ma'mselle Perrot, but come ladies, here is the paper. I will pass a fair judgment between you," and as he spoke, he folded the paper so thai the autographs might lail near the bottom of tlie page. Josepha, willing to eratify the whim of one who was her guest, took the pen and wrote her name in full, then handing it to the laughing Adele,

who signed her's in like manner. Gaston caught up the sheet of paper, and pretended for a moment to examine the autographs thoughtfully; then smiling to the ladies, he declared that "the st!es were so different, and both so excellent in their way, :i was impossible for him to decide which was most deserving of the first place." A steward appeared to announce supper, Gaston motioned the ladies to precede him from the arbor, and, as they passed out, he folded the sheet, and thrusting it into his pocket, followed them to the mansion.

proposed for the hand of Carlino's daugh

ter, and had been firmly though not disdainfully, rejected by the girl herself. He had beer, looked upon as a friend by Don Felix and his family, and he well knew that the only one whose chance stood between him and the maiden, was Henri Perrot. It was, therefore, with unfeigned satisfaction that he witnessed the departure of his hated rival. How different were his feelings from those of the fair Josepha, as he watched the receding vessel that bore the young lawyer from his home. "Go fool!" muttered he, "go, and be happy on the recollection of those kisses they are the last vou shall have from the lips of Josepha

Carlino ! ' On the night succeeding Ihe departure of Perrot, Gaston was sealed in his palor alone. His whole demeanor resembled that of one who had just laid out a plan for the consummation of a cherished hope, and was impatient to put it in execution. Ever and anon his eye would wander impatiently towards the door, and once lie had risen and Opened it; as no one appeared he resumed his seat, and became, for a moment thoughtful. A footstep without and a knock at the door, started him from his reverie. "Come in'.-' The door opened, and a young man with a Ted face, shabby-genteel apparel, and evidently excited with liquor, made his appearance. He was a journeyman printer, out of employment, and as he had been expelled from the onlj

printing office in the place for misconduct, he

was not in a likely way to find any,

"Ah! Hunter; how do you do? take a seat,"

said Gaston, rising and offering him a chair. The other thanked him, and muttering that his health was very good, sal down as he was

desired. "Your servant, Mr. Giston, told metha you wished to see me."

''Yes; there was a little matter of business that I wished to talk over with you, but thete's

no hurry I suppose. You're not engaged at present?" "No not particularly." "Well, then, we'il have a segar and a glass of wine first. Jacob, bring in some cigars, and a bottle of Claret or maybe, you'd prefer a

glass of brandy?" "Why if it's all the same to van " "Oh, no matter, Jacob bung in the decanter, I believe I'll take a glass of brandy myself for sociality's sake." The servant did as he was desired, and, in

a short time, the brandy and cigars were pro

duced. They both filled their glasses, and sipped them. "That's good brandy," said Hunter. "Yes, it is," answered the merchant.

"When I was foreman in a London printing

office, with six guineas n week, I never drank

bad liquor but times are changed with me." "If I mistake not, Mr. Hunter, you are out

of employment at present. Is it not so?" "Your are right, sir; I am on the town.'"

"And vet. vou are an excellent printer, I am

informed?"

"1 believe, sir, I know mv business as well

as any typo in the country." "'Tisa pity you should be unemployed. Would you have any objections to take a situa lion in a printing office in New Orleans?"

"I should be glad to hear of such nj chance." 'I think, then, I can help you to one. A friend of mine, who publishes the , daily newspaper there, will find yon an opening on my recommendation. The salary shall be such as will satisfy you." "What can I do in return for your kindness, sir?" "Why mv business here requires a great

deal of advertising in the New Orleans papers.

Now, I would wish vou to attend to this adver

lising forme. I will write these advertisements,

and send them, on; you shall see to their inser

tion, in the time and maimer I shall direct. There miy be other matters of business that you can transact for me. In the meantime, I will have an eye to your advancement, pro

vided you follow my advice and directions. The printer declared that he would serve the interest of his patron as far as it lay in his power, and after some preliminaries had been arranged, he arose to depart. They walked

nly been faithless, but had added insult to injury by thus addressing to her the unwelcome tiding. Perhaps the paper had not been sent by him. She took up the torn wrapper; the "tiperscription was not his hand writing. No matter, it was done by a friend, and, doubtless, too, they had jested upon the effects it would produce when it should reach its destination. The arrival shortly after of Monsier Periot and Adele with a duplicate copy of the paper,

confirmed the bitter truth if it needed any farther confirmation. The old man was l itter against his am; declaring that he should never again enter his. house, and Adele wept beside

her bosom friend. That evening was a sad one in the family of Don Felix Carlino. In the course of a few days, as soon as the first burst of grief and disappointment had somewhat subsided, Gaston began to renew his addresses, at first warily and with caution. It would not do to probe loo deeply wounds still fresh and bleeding. By degrees, however, his advances grew less timid, and by the assistance of the maiden aunt, the Donna Paulina, was received with some degree of favor. The first object of a disappointed womo.il is to

proveher power by receiving the addtessesof a rival; tu revenge, if possible, the slight passed upon her by creating vain regrets in the breast of the faithless; and thus many a woman rushes into the arms of a man she would olhei wise have despised. The wealthiest is generally

chosen for this sacrifice, as he ma the better enable her to work out her purposes of revenge. There was nothing of this feeling, however, in the present iuMance. Even despite the insult which she still supposed Henri had put upon her, Josepha did not hate him. She wished not for revenge, and though she listened now to the addresses of Gaston with a more favorable ear, it did not arise from any active principle in herself, bul rather was she borne along hv the direction of friends, against whose w ishes she opposed little or no resistance.

She had become purely passive, and wlien, after the lapse of a few months, Gaston a second time proposed for her hand, his offer was, though without any degree of warmth, accepted. The world, at least, would suppose that she had triumphed over the faithless Henri by marrying Gaston, as the latter was wealthy,

while the other inherited only his profession. This, how ever, entered but little into the contemplation of Josepha. Her mind was of a nohler and purer order. Don Felix was not averse to her marriage with Gaston now that Henri had proved uuworthy, and the ceremony was fixed to take place at an early day. Conclusion next week.)

CHAPTER IV.

CHAPTER V. Henri ret rot had now been gone nearly six months, dining which time he had written almost weekly to either Josepha or his sister. His letters to Josepha still breathad the same unalterable spirit of affection. At the expiration of this time, his correspondence all at once ceased. Several weeks passed without either bis father, sister, or Josepha, receiving a letter. Their anxiety on his behalf was raised to

the highest pitch; as they rupposed that no

cause could prevent 1 is writing to them but

some severe calamity sickness or death. But

at this time a letter was received by a young

man in Natchitoches from Hunter, the printer,

of whom we have already spoken; and who

was now foreman of a daily newspaper in N.

Orleans, stating thai ihe "young lawyer Per

rot was well was quite a star in the beau

monde, and was likely soon to be married lo a

Creole lady of wealth and fashion."

The news was not long in reaching Josepna.

She at first discredited the whole story; but some of her friends had taken pains lo see the letter, and to convince her that there was no doubt of its authenticity; still the writer of this unwelcome news could have no opportunity of becoming acquainted with the designs or intentions of Henri, and after all, it might be only on his part a thoughtless assertion. But, then, again when she reflected upon the long silence of her lover ( it was now nearly a month since she had heard from him) the fatal truth seemed to be confirmed, and the mind of the roor girl was agitated by the contending passions of hope and despair, but in each new

struggle the latter predominated, i ne visns of Gaston to the house of Don Felix were

more freonent. and his attentions to Josepha

redoubledjbut they had no effect in dispelling

the doom that clouded her brow. She wouio

trv to smile, but in vain. The faithless Henri

still held possession of her heart. Thiuss were in this position when, one

morning, a messenger from the post office,

bearing a small packet, opened the gate in

front of Carlino's mansion. The messenger had been perceived by Josepha, who caoneoui

in the piayza to meet him. It was simply a

newspaper wrapped and addressed to herself.

Hope beat high in her heart. She hastily tore off tie wrapper and glanced over the maiked

passage. It ran thus:

"Married upon the 12th, by the Bishop of

Louisiana, Henri Perrot, Attorney at Law, 10 Julie, the wealthy and accomplished daughter

of Jerome de Louvre." She did not faint no! The rich Spani

blood mantled in her veins and rose to her tern

pies; her cheek crew flushed hei eye fiery

She made one desperate effort at composure ,n ihe presence of the messenger; ii failed, and with a wild laug, she tore up the hated papei

j and flung its fragments to the wid
