'Come, Francis,.theo has gazed too Ions r,n this silly maiden, with her ringlets lloiting to wantonly over that naked throat. I will show thco something sweeter. Look on thin Italian Madonna. Haw theo ever aught thus meekly beautiful? Those large, clear, earnest eyes, gazing so intently upon her babe! such a peace 1 nUria malo.!and the hiilv rhitd Jesus, too. Frances, look! O, childhood l! sweet are thy mmistries 1o the spirit that tones for puritv on earth!

O cs; such beauty as sou's like thine can worship ' Vorship, Francis? thco knows that worship no beauty on this earth. Did thco not forget thou wert discoursing unto a Quaker? True, I fuel in adntirationoi the spiritual beauty that ir radiates tho features of that virgin mother; and I j lovo to gaze on that lovely incarnation ot a til- j vino spirit. 1 Ins degree ot enthusiasm is, 1 trust, allowable : but worhii is not yielded unto, tho things of earth. C), Madonna ! how full of consciousness is thy radient eye, as though f.-ol-ing thyself indeed "the handmaid of the Lord!" Look on her, Francis, and let vain thoughts of this world's sorrows lleo from thee, as murderous vampyrcs before the p!ory of the son -bright day.' 'They do! Ullena, they do! But let us hasten awav; I am haunted by those proud, cohl eyes of the Egyptian queen. 'Call her not tho Egyptian queen, was a creatoro of tender affrrtion; Sutherland is too proud to love.' Berenice Arabella 1 '.Nay, nay, iVkna; no voman is too promt love. But let us away; the doors wi II be opened i aun. I I bey turned to cross the gal, cry. nut unrxpccledly encountered a gentleman who stood near them, and whoso soft step upon tho grei-u carpet had been unnoticed, while they were conversing. The young ladies both uttered exclamation?, and Franci s' countenance blanched palo as dtvth. She bowed slightly and would have pas-jrd out; but ho gently detained her, and, taking hcr had, led her lo the painting she had first been contemplating. The Quakeress passed down tho hall, to a painting of blind Birtimeu.J, bv nn Amorican artist, leaving her cousin alone with the gentleman. 'Frances,' said he, in a low, suppressed voice, Frances, you do not lovo tho countenance of rny affianced bride. These 'cold, proud nyee' hve3 told you she is not lo make mo happy; and yet she is called rcsplondently beautiful. O, Fi ance, how different frm llio soft, retiring graces of ihn being I love!' You love! Lawrenre, do you not love icrr" 'Could you for one moment suppose :i? O, Frances! have vou, thcn,doobled the cnii-t Mf V ot my affection? Weil yoomi'jht; and yet, I h: pod I hoped, Frances, that you would hivo trui-icd mo eternally.' Fiances trembled very much, and withdrew the hand he hid pressed too fervently. He turned to see if Eilcna slii'. lingcrud. Sne was gone, and thuv were alone. He placed his arm about her slender waist, and drew hcr to one of tho st-t-tccs near the centre of lhc bali. 'Forgive mc, ; Frances. You would, and 'pity me too, if you : know half I suffer. It is so seldom, now, that I ; meet vou, and in circumstances so unpmpitious j for an explanation! Will you listen to me?, j 'Ought 1? ought 1? O, Laurence! solemnly j tiij;otal as vou are to another, ought I to ltslen j to assurances of affection from your lips? N-i, j no; rather let ma think you t.titniut to our later vows, lot me believe you Iruo to her who has a right to your truth.' l cannot! Francep, I cannot! Thco is enough of misery in mv fate, witnout tins nnnizii-ig thought, that you believe me fdsc to my early vows. During your long abscneo in a forei:n land changes have occurred lo wreck the dearest hopes o( my heart, changes we could riot foresee, changes I would not have believed possible. that I sfioul.l ever have made this promise! and yet, I could not avoid if. What son, that saw bis father struggling for breath, and in the last agonies of his mortal conflict, what eon, that honored and loved his father as he ought, would have embittered his last moment bv disobcdier.ee and ingratitude? O lhal he had known my heart, how entirely and eternally it is dt-voted to another! (for, though 1 told him, he did not and could not comprehend;) ha wou'd not, I am sure he would not, have exacted a promise that hasimbittered every later moment of my existence. I cannot love Arabella Sutherland, nnd she knows it; vet she w-il! not release mc from my obligations; she will not. Frances, though she docs not love me. If sho did, if sho loved mo as a woman cu love, sho would have sacrificed everything, life, happiness, all that tho heart holds dear, to save mo from wretchedness, to save herself from what shoulj bo mora terrible to her than a thousnds deaths.

Frances ?poke softly, but earnestly; and, laving hcr hand upon his arm, drew from him a solemn prnmiso that his bride should be wooed with kindness, and tenderly cherished ail tho days of their wc-ldcd I if. . They then left the hall togothcr,and parted at tho gate, with a frank tenderness they had not ventured to express for years. 'Thee is pale, thee is toa pale, dear Fann. Lay asido that naughty pencil, nod transfer the rose lo thino own cheek, by a litllc exercise in the open air.' 'O nn, Eilcna; mv purrc is empty- Let mo toil on till this one sketch is finished; lben I will p wuli vtjo. I kiiI IMI 10 SUDtjUO the cxpros--sion of those eyes a little, and then it will be done.' 1 'These are Arabella Sutherland's eyes. Why do they still haunt thee? why does theo paint them in cverficr.hc it a shepherdess or saint? I cannot excuse thco wtdi; hut I never was in love. , Nav, forgive mc,consin Frances; 1 thought not lo make thee sad. Tiiec is right, however: solten down those hard eyes, and let them be melting us thine: let them tremble- 1'ko a faint star in the skv. Can tiiec iiaint litem wavering th s. and humid ?'

Eilcna; take my portfolio. and, if you, nmuse yoarself with its content;, while I pot a few nr ro touches on this painting; then you shall go with w to the shop. After touching and retouching, till the painting seemed indeed perfect, Fra nces rose: and fl ing ou her shawl, seized hcr portfolio, and hastened, with hcr cousin upon hcr arm. to one of the printsiiajis in W sired.
