[Oonlinned From 6th Page.] "Estella, you shall not talk so? Would yon let me go, if this money were vours
I should think." Mr. Barnard interposed, "that Miss Vaughan has too much spirit to live a life of idleness upon her sister's small means."
Her sensitive nature goaded by this speech, Estella proudly met bis eye. "You think rightly, sir. I am ready to leave here as soon as I hear of employment."
Amy flung her arms around the unyielding figure beside her. "If you po, I shall acoompany you. Mr. Harnard, •we will not be separated. I will resign the legacy sooner than accept it on such terms! Estella—unkind that you are! —would you quit the sister to whom you have ever beru friend, eoun-elor, comforter? leave her jtiH as cite needs your friendship more than ever because one who neither knows nor undetstands us makes a harsh and silly speech
Upon my word said Mr. Hirnard, looking daggers. Estella's resolution wavered, but sfce could not eat the bread this man would grudgingly bestow.
Amy now began to question him eager! v. You say that I am to be under your guardianship. I suppose you will reimburse yourself for all expenses incurred on my account?" "Of course—ofcourse that is always an understood thing I The interest of the money will be appropriated to your support."
And my sister's," Amy interposed. "It is no use attempting to raise objections, sir I will not hear them. My sister and I are as one
But—but such an arrangement would not leave you anything for your own purse and it will be downright selfish on Miss Vaughan's part to
Estellaselfish cried her defender, her lovely fHce glowing with resentment —'"selfish. She who has yielded every wish to mine, in her generous desire for my happiness If I can persuade her to be my debtor, it will be another pioof that she does not deserve such an accusation. I know too well," she added, in lower tones, "how much your independent spirit will chafe at remaining here yet, dear, dear sister, do not leave me! I have a dread of this man," she whispered. "Ah, if you love me, do not leave me so hopelessly in his power!"
The dinner bell was now ringing, and Mrs. Barnard, flurried with haste, entered the room.
You had better think this over, Miss Amy," observed her new guardian,"and remember that, if you adhere to your resolve, I warn you that I will not bo made a sufferer by it
Certainly not," she saucily replied, her gay smiles returning as she saw a prospect of attaining her wishes. "Indeed^* have no wish to reside at Aston Hall, nnless It is perfectly agreeable to you. You can talce lodgings for us at some larm house in the neighborhood where thev will let us feed the poultry and milk the cows and you can come over once a week to see that we are behaving ourselves. I should like that exceedingly."
With a dissatisfied growl, Mr. Barnard give hor his arm, and led the way Into tho dining room.
By the ftre, at the farther end of the apartment, two young men were await ing tho appearance of dinner and Amy, with a touch of mortified vanity, recol looted that sho still wore the high, dark drfBS don nod for the journey.
In tho slim, graceful figure, standing in a thoughtrul attitude, with his head resting on the arm carelessly posed on the mantlepiece, the sisters instantly recognised Lionel.
It is true that a growth of down now shaded his upper lip, and that lines of sad thought crossed his high forehead, and lurked in tho corners of his expressive mouth.
But the bright chestnnt locks his mother had always thought so beautiful had not lost their trick of clustering In waves around his temples. Tho smile, too, that greeted his ©1« playfellows restored to his features the free, frank look tluv had worn in earlier days.
With forcod cheerfulness Lionel Aston advanced to moot them. ••It Is so long slnoo we met, that I may bo forgiven fbr belag a little perplexed which can be which
Entella's grave smile, and Amy's laugh, solved the riddle, and taking the fingers the former extended he made a pretense of oxatnlning them.
The last time I saw this little hand it left its impress on my oheek, and those ruby lips called me a stnpiJ fellow for treading on Amy's frock and tearing It. What a painful reminiscence
I'll thank yon to reserve all snch nonirn»e as that till after I have dined," said the head of the house, snappishly.
With much pleasure," replied Lionel,bowing with studied deference, "for my wait from the town has made mo excessively hungry."
You need not have treubled yonrsolf to come," was the polite comment. Mrs. Burn mi looked distressed, but Lionel composedly replied, "Thank you sir I know you always kindly overlook my absence nut my playfellows here might not have been so lenient and. truth to tell, I was longing to see them "And what does George do here?" Mr. Barnard asked, pointing to his son, who, absorbed in a largo volume, had not oven noticed the entranco of the partv. lie must answer the question for himself," ant! Lionel Mgbily touched tho student's shoulder. "George, old boy, what brough*, you to the hall toulght?"
Without rasing his eves from his wk. Mr. Barnard's son slowly gathered up his l»ng legs.
Eh ?—what Oh! what brought me here? l*stmesee—Uforget! Wasn't itsomething about tho gardener's l«»g? Rheumatic gout, I'd lav an m*ney! Oh no!" And George deliberately turned down tho loat he had been reading. "I remember now my father said I must par proper attention to the little .Vaughan girts that are coming. He didn't u!*e to boso—'•
If you can't bold your tongue," snarled Mr. Barnard, "yon had better go back as fast as you can."
George began an apology, by openly confessing he didn't know his father was there then stopped short with open mouth, as he saw that the yrung ladies of whom he had spoken so unceremoniously, were also present*
Hfs dismayed look was so comical that of laughing, in But Estelia sat grave and troubled.
Lionel gavo way to a fit of laughing, in which Amy joined him.
Had Mr. Barnard, in bis avarice, begun plotting already? And was Amy, in the first bloom and beauty of her youth,
JL C-
to be sacrificed to his son ?—or, if this failed, to be inveigled into a union which would enable her wily to seise upon Mr. Aston's bequest?
I must stay," she muttered, "let his taunts sting and torture me as they may. Amy's dread of this man, ana my own presentiments, must not be disregarded. Down, proud spirit! For the sake of my motherless sister, I most endure and watch." [TO BE CONTINUED.]

So much for bringing poor relations Into tho house! .1 really believe that Charles hes fallen in love with the
Eirl!"
«x*laimed
Mrs. Mason to her
usband, a merchant in moderato circumstances in the city of Boston. "Well, suppose be nas she is a good girl, isshe not?" quickly responded the merchant.
I donl# know but that she is good enough but she is a pauper!" Not exactly a pauper, Mrs. Mason.
Didn't we take her into the faj*y to keep her from starving?" jBr "I did not so understand I* lou reeded a young woman to assist you in sewWis, and employed her at half tho usual wages.'' \ph, and isn't she a pauper for all that?'' ... "Gently, Mrs. Mason you forget that she is my sister's daughter," said the merchant a little sternly. "What if she is? She is a penniless girl for all that. A pretty match for 9urson
And why not for our son I am not a millionaire. *If the times don't come easier than they have been, I shall fail before the year is out." "So much the more reason why Charles should look out for himself."
If he loves my niece, I sincerely hope he will marry her, for I believe she is one of the best girls in the worl.l certainly she is vastly superior to the silly, affected, mincing, novel-reading misses of fashionable society. I commend his taste and his judgment.'^
Well, Mr. Mason, I am surprised Not the least occasion to bo surprised."
Let me tell you, Mr. Mason, that I never will consent to see Charles throw himself a-vay on a pauper. And if you haven't the spirit to prevent so disgraceful a match, I shall send the girl
Don't you do it, madam," said Mr. Mason, in firm, decided tone. I shall do it!" replied the lady, now waxing warm at the obstinacy of her husband, who in trivial matters, was in the habit of letting her have her own way
Better not," quietly responded the gentleman. "The'minx put on such airs and smirked so, that I really bel:eve she meant to catch him." "What! Grace? Impossible! She is a little gentle, quiet thinr, and I am sure the idea of a flirtation never entered her simple head."
Humph!" sneered the lady. "I know better. And now that he is really making love to her, the provoking jade seems to look upon it as a matter of course thinks it is just as much a prop or thing that she should be the wife of our Charles, as though she had been born a princess!"
Poor thing! I suppose she is human, ic loves hit of it.
and actually loves the boy!" Loves him or not, I'll make an end
Don't be rash, Mrs. Tfrason," replied the husband, who was twirling in his fingers a buff envelope, marked "Telegraph
What have you rot there I bad almost (o uot to mention that my brother Joseph has just arrived in New York, and tolegraphs that he will be here to-night by the New Haven train," "Just like you! Never tell of a thing till tho last moment!" said the lady petulantly.
I received tho dispatch only two hours ago." Here is another kettle of fish," continued the lady, musing. "That everlasting niece of yours Is in the way again."
I hope the poor girl has no more sins to answer for." Where do you suppose vonr brother Joseph will leave his proper* have not the remotest idea."
Don't you suppose that angelic niece of yours will wheedlo him out of a part of it?"
I hope so."
v."
You don't want he should leave it all in your family, then?" sneered^tbe lady.
No, I hope be will do justly." I wish I could get her out of the way before he comes,"
Don't attempt it, Mrs. Mason," said the merchant, with very decided emphasis.
Ifslie were only out of the way, Henrjetta would come in for the whole," added the lady, as she hurried out of the room to make arrangemento for the T®* ccption of Uncle Joseph.
CHAPTERIL
Uncle Joseph was a Calcutta merchant, in which oapacity he had accumulated an Immense fortune. Being a bachelor, the probable disposition of his property became a question of considerable interest among his relation*.
Tho family of Mr. Mason, the merchant introduced in the last chapter, included but two children, a son and a daughter.
Grace was the only daughter of a sister, recently deceased, who had been for many years a widow.
It was supposed that Uncle Joseph would make one of his nieces his heiress. This was the old fellow's wbim, and no one m!d gainsay tho whim of a bachelor. From some indications of preference which he bad bestowed upon Henrietta in her childhood, it was generally believed that sho would prove to bo the fortunate one.
Henrietta had b.wn educated to be a lady. Her delicate fingers were never soiled bv rude collision with pots and kettles, and she bad been taugfit to believe that it was 4elicafce Honsibility to b^afnid of a spKW or a bull-trog. She played the pi*no with passable skill and lingered away half her time at full length on the sofa, pouring over the contens of a noveh
Such was the prospective heiress of Uncle Joseph's large fortune. Her father was far from approving tho education she bad received, and had used all tho influence he possessed, short of quart eling, to have these defects remedied.
Uncle Joseph came, and was welcomed as became the dignity of one who had a fortune to bestow.
Henrietta thought he was a "dear love" of a man, and she wondered that the ladies ever let him remain a bachelor.
Grace, by the contrivanceofMrs. Mason, was not present when her uncle arrived but Mr. Mason, understanding the trick, sought her in person, and introduced feer to the man of money.
The poor girl was too modest and retiring to fbroe herself upon the notioe of Uncle Joseph, who was too deeply absorbed by tne unremitting attentions of Henrietta t3 perceive her situation, or disoover the menial capacity in which she acted.
At tea, Uncle Joseph complained of being ill, and said that he had not been well sinoe he landed on the previous day
Mrs. Mason and her daughter were all sympathy. The ailing bachelor was conducted to his apartment, and herb teas and jugs of hot water were put in requisition. Henrietta volunteered to sit all night by his bedside and minister to his wants but the sick man did not deem it necessary.
During all this confusion, Grace was not to be seen. She was not permitted to assist in the preparations for the sick man's comfort everything most be done by Henrietta's own hand.
Notwithstanding the kind attentions lavished upon Uncle Joseph, there was no improvement in his condition but on the contray, he rapidly grew worse, and at mid-night the pnysicisn was seat for Henrietta bad not left the bedside for a moment. She was the most devoted creature in the world, and the bachelor could not but contrast her devotion with the utter neglect of Grace, who had not once entered his room, even to enquire how tie did. Henrietta's prospects wero decidedly brilliant.
The physician came, and after feeling the pulse of the suffwrer, inquired where he resided when at home.
Uncle Joseph replied that he bad no home—had just come from Calcutta. I see," said the physician. "Was there any sickness on board the ship?"
Thore was. I came by the overland route to Liverpool, thence by a New York liner. There was a steerage full of emigrants on board, among whom the fever raged fearfully." "Just so," returned the physician, "and you have got the ship fever."
The ship fever!" exclaimed Henrietta, rushing out of the room. The sick man turned, and witnessed her abrupt departure. With a sigh, such as n]y can be wrung from a bachelor conscious of his loneliness, he drew the bed clothes closely around him, and apparently abandoned himself to the fate which the dreadful disease seemed to foreshadow.
The physician made up his prescription and retired. No one was left with Uncle Joseph but his brother.
I am deserted, brother," said the sick man. No, brother, I am here."
But there is no hand of woman here well, it is a dreadful disease," and the sufferer sighed again.
Mr. Mason went down /to the sitting room, whither his wife and daughter had fled. "How is this, wife? Is Joseph to be abandoned now that he most needs attention asked he of Mrs. Mason.
You don't think we are going to stay in the room with tho ship fever?" replied Mrs. Mason.
You may as well be in the room as in the house." We must leave the house immediately. Why did he not goto the hospital? It was not very considerate of him to bring the shipfever into the family. He might have known that he bad it."
Heaven forgive your heartlessness! But is my brother to die with no one to oare for him?" exclaimed Mr. Mason, in gnantly.
You must hire a nurse." *v** & And you will desert him?" "We can't stay here where the ship fever is."
No, papa, it would be Suicidal," added Henrietta. "His fortune would do us no good if.we caught the fever."
Go, then! but there is still one in the house who has a heart," replied Mr. Mason, as he left the room to seek the apartment of Grace.
Grace *vas ready in a moment to attend her uncle to the sick room, where, regardless of the danger of contagion, she laved the burning brow of the sufferer, and did all that an angel hand could io to render him comfortable.
Early in the morning Mrs. Mason and her daughter departed for the residence of a friend in the country.
CHAPTER Iir^'
For several weeks Grace, with such assistance as Mr. Mason and Charles could give, nursed the invalid with the most untiring devotion. All her time was spent by his bedsido. She was all gentleness and sympathy, bearing patiently with bis petulance and ill-humor, and never betraj'ing the slightest appearance of anger when ho scolded and even swore atner.
The fever turned and he began to mend. He was now out of danger, and rapidly advancing to complete restoration.
The physician commended the skill and devotion of his nurse, assuring him that he owed his life to her.
But the devotion of the poor girl cost her dearly for scarcely had Uncle Joseph recovered, before she was taken down with the fever, and for weeks languished on the very verge of the gtfcve.
Yet there was no female hand to lave her brow savo that of a hired nurse. Cbarles Mi*on loved her as he did his own existence, and. day and night he watched over her with a constanoy and devotion worthy tho loving heart of the gontler sex.
Uncle Joseph, too, was an anxious watcher rouna her bed. Though be was a bachelor, and had spent the greater part of his life in India, away from the gentlo influences of female Fociety, he showed an aptness in the sick-room that would have done honor to a Benedict.
To the intsnso relief of her devoted friend, Grace recovered. The disease was banished from the house, sad Mrs. Mason and Henrietta ventured to return. "I trust you have had a p'easant, visit, madam," said Uncle Joseph, c.ildly.
Pleasant! nay, far from it. Yon do us injustice we were perfectly mi-erablo on account of your dangerous iliiicw."
Humph said Uacle Joseph with a sneer. The I "ve between Charles and Orac«\ strengthened bv tho scenes of suffering through which they had pissed, »•*. now an unalterable sentiment. Of course. Uncle Jtwpph had not witnessed their mutual devotion to him in bis illnew, without suspecting the existen-e of some strong bond of union between them. And the young man's untiring attention to her in her own sickness had confirmed the opinion.
Seeking a favorable opportunity, he conversed with Charle- upon the subject, *ho readily admitted his affection. The bachelor recommended an immediate marriage.
The step was not, of course, ungrateful to tbe feelings of the lover. And the desire to redeem Grace from the life of drudgery to which she was reduced by tho heartlessness of his muther, seemed to demand their immediate union.
Tbe young man's Intentions were soon noised through the family. Mis. Mason renewed the opposition she had before made, art3 even went so far as to threaten that, i( she could not break up the
match, she would embitter the lives of tbe parties. Uncle Joseph remonstrated. a "May I ask, madam, what objection you can possibly have to tbe mariiage said he, with considerable sternness in hid manner.
What objection why, the girl is beggsr I have employed her in my family to keep her out of the almshouse, which, I think, is objection enough," replied Mrs. Mason, disliking the interference of Uncle Joseph.
Your son, I think, is not wealthy, so that he need demand a rich wife1" He need not marry a beggar, though." "She is worthy a prince, beggar though she is."
O, very likely," sneered tho lady. I owe my lift* to her, and I can never cease to be grateful to her. When others trs:ok me, she was constant," replied Uncle Joseph, pointedly.
She knew you wero rich," said Mrs. Mason, sarcastically. So did you and your amiable daughter. You "were like angels round my pillow till the doctor said 'ship fever,' when you fled like sheep."
The lady looked as black as a thunder cloud. I trust you will withdraw your objections to this marriage, Mrs. Mason. You perceive that Charles is resolute, and will hsvo his own way about it," continued Uncle Joseph, in a more pliaole tone.
Hisown way! All this forbad advising! I cannot prevent it, perhaps but I will never consent to it. No! a son of mine shall never have my consent to marry a beggar girl."
Madam, she is no longer a beggar. She is the luiressof all my fortune," said Uncle. Joseph, with sudden energy
Mrs. Mason's brow contracted. And Henrietta?" said she. Never touches a penny! She drsorted me when I most needed a friend," replied tho bachelor, vehemently. "If I had ten thousand fortunes, they would be but a poor return for all that Grace* has dome fbr me. I make over fifty thousand dollars to the newly-married couple as soon a* the knot is tied the residue at my decease."
Th marriage tuok place soon after. The cerenio'ny was performed at the house or Mr. Mason, in spite of the oppo^iuon of' his wife for when the merchant said it should be so, be had the firmness to carry his point.
The newly-married couple took up their residence in a beautiful house, purchased for them by Uncle Joseph, who consented to make his home with them.
Henrietta is now five-and-thirty years of age, and au "old maid." s. Mason still continues to be a termagant, though her husband maintatns his integrity with firmness and decision. She has never forgiven Uncle Joseph for making Grace the heiress, and probably never will. But the worthy bachelor never csasos to rcjoice over the disposition he has mad? of his property, ana .probably he never will.
