It will net do, thought the major, as

harrassed with an unwonted press of

business, he one day entered the oflice, where confusion and disorder were the

only traces of the absented Everill. It

will not do I must commence a new

page with this boy, and if a letter just

handed him broke off the thought. 'For

Clod's sake what is the meaning of this.'' lie exclaimed, starting as he ran over its

contents, as if a serpent had coiled round his heart. He examined the date, and gaio he ran it hurriedly over. No, there is no possibility of mistake; It is even so,' and he now paced the floor zd extreme and painful agitation. To the writer of this letter, he had himself a short time previous despatched by Verni Everill, as an express, a note enclosing a considerable sum of money, Sc involving business that admitted of no xlelay. The letter he now held had disclosed the astounding fact that this note had never beea received, and the youth in whom, despite of all his errors, he had placed an unreserved trust whom he had indeed cherished with an dmost parental tondncss, was precipitated at once

unci forever, into the fearful abvss of

guilt and shame! lt is all over now, said the grieved and injured WorthingSon; 'however I may have shut my eyes to the aberrations of folly, I may not af

ford encouragement to crime, nor give to

one so utterly debased a longer place in my household.' The following morning "Verm Everill was summoned to his room. Did you not tell me the packet

lately entrusted to your conveyance was aalcly delivered?' 'Well, sir, but the flashing eye of the culprit quailed, and

there was a perceptible tremor in his u

on my part to advance your interests, are forever at an end. Bit Verni Everill, een now I cannot cast you from me wholly, as the thing you are: For the sake of 'Aim from whom you inherit a stainless name, your dreadful secret shall be guarded as closely as if my own soul's honor were Icrever forfeit by its disclosure. 2o return to your father with a fame as yet, unblighted as his own. Bear him this letter: it assigns your little acquaintance with business as the only reason lor declining your future services. What though he think but lightly of the friendship that can thus easily dispense

with its proffered trust! Be it so better, far better he should renounce every other tie, than that the ligaments binding his child to his heart should be severed. Once more, go and Oh, Verni, as you bear fcencc no stain upon your own name that may meet the eye of the world, let tne adjure you to preserve it from the blight of future crime; there is nothing s yet that need darken the prospects of 'your path; nothing of forfeited honor or dart suspicion to surmount in your future exertions. Even from my own cneraory, unless it be recalled by further

name, this dreadful scene for upon the .fixed features and moveless attitude of the youth, there was a fearful expression cf agony shall be forever effaced; or at least only remembered as a dream of horror.' Overcome with his own cmo tion, major Worthing on abruptly left the room, and a moment alter, Verni Everitl rushed wildly from the hcuse. And what can have become of the

poet misguided bey: thought major Wcrthington, as a few weeks after a letter trorn his friend, expressing many n fci.d hope for the child, whom he yet believed under his prottc'ir.g care, inditedJy, but conclusively informed him that in-

But all inquiry was wholly unavailing -No trace of the fugitive, beyond a journ

ey, marked with indications of apparent frenzy, to the nearest town, could be discovered; and the unfortunate Everill had

at length to learn a part of those circumstances from which, however deli

cately veiled, a mind like his, keenly a live to the slightest moral obligation, and

with every sense quickened by parental

love to a gift of fearful perception, must

necessarily draw inferences, if not of crime, at least of ingratitude, of folly, and of dishonor. It is happy perhaps for

man that the wave of life is forever bur-I rying him on on, with a stormy impetus,'

requiring the exertion of the soul s utmost strength without pausing over the blighted hopes and mournful wrecks,

the past has scattered around him.

The deep regret which these events left

upon the heart of major Worthington,

was gradually merged in new and more

immediate interests. The war of the re

volution, then drawing to a close, had blocked up many of the avenues of his

former prosperity; while those ceaseless

but quietly-progressing revolutions, con

necled with the laws of the universe, and

involving all things of time, bad gradu

ally undermined the remaining fabric ot

his fortunes. New interests had at last

grown up between him and his well earn

ed honors, and the official trusts, which

he had supported with unblemished

m tame, passed, still without a stain of ob

liquy, to other and perhaps less worthy

aspirants, l or all this however he tound an equivalent in the sudden freedom, which an exemption from public cares at length afforded him of indulging the long stilled yearnings of a rich and be

nevolent nature. The sweet waters-of

domestic affection had been to hitn

sealed fountains, and it was only a

when in the solemn calm which ihe deep

midnight, with her burning stars and her gush of holiness, sheds upon the hearts of men, he stood by a marble slab dimly

attesting ties long since dissolved, that

he seemed even to remember such things were.' But there were those yet

living who had strong claims uponns

kmdess, and to them his feelings nowi

stinctively turned. They were the twuojQJ

phan children of a deceased sister; and having been consigned to the care of o-

thcr relatives, they had hitherto scarcely

occupied a place in his memory. But 1

will immediately seek them out, he now

said 'they shall give a new interest to my little household, and I will transfer to them with interest, the love I once bore

iheir sainted mother.' His purpose was

soon effected, and the vivid hues it had

received from the warmth of his own heart, were at once deepened by his per sonal knowledge of his young and interesting relations. Avoline Brentford was a slight delicate girl of seventeen, possessing in a great degree that pensive beauty so indicaj& of elevation of mind and saintly purityNTf character. Something perhaps, ofvUiunary thought of earthward dreaming, and the cherished imaginings of the deep, fond heart, might have been traced In the misty tenderness of her dark, melancholy eyes. Avoline's young life had passed in that loneliness of spirit, which gathers all its tides into one only current, giving

it a depth and a coloring of shadowy power, unknown to the joyous and diverging fountains of sought and mingling affection. Avoline had been reared among relatives, not friends, a family of daughters whose slender claims to admiration were little advanced by the sur

passing loveliness of the ward, barred her from that tenderness which her gentle virtues must otherwise have awakened; and the young orphan, whose heart, like the vines of spring, hourly put forth its delicate tendrils for support, still passed unheeded on, the only being amid a gay and numerous household admitted to no share in its sympathies no part in its domestic councils or its tenderer interests. Such was the charge whom major Worthington had taken to his home and his heart, and it was with a delight to which he had long been a granger, that he now watched the soft kindlings of cheerful thought which kindness poured

over her pensive features. Her brother, a noble boy of some 12 years, was a far different being, but an object of scarcely less interest, lie had an untamed spirit of gladness, crossing with brightness like a leaping torrent, the paths of all around him; and the cultivation of his mind, rich as it was in native gifts, but perpetually flying off upon some wild direction, af

forded the major an abundant source of

altcrnaUMleasure and vexation.

But the philanthropic Worthington had not yet drained his own cup of adversity. Ifis health had been lor some time declining, and a lingering but painful disease soon alter confined bim to his room. A crowd of unsettled business, deferred from time to time in consequence of his long failing strength, now pressed upon his mind, troubling even Wis paitiai intervals of repose with a sense ot pto

ties. Is there aught I can do for your relief,

sir?' inquired a respectful voice at the! door ot his apartment. Ah, niy kind lellow, I am glad to see you You can indeed relieve, for you shall assist me in looking over my books and loose papers while I have yet strength to take some part in arranging them,' and at once and with perfect con fidence he submitted to Herbert Allen, the labors of that business which had so deeply harrassed him. The ready perception with which his instructions were now listened to, and the accuracy and despatch with which they were executed, confirmed this confidence. He felt indeed relieved of a most oppressive weight, and gradually as he still grew more and moro feeble, till all other cares were at last forgotten in the inflictions ot disease, tli2 whole guidance of his some what complicated afiairs devolved upon the soldier. Yet still amid the continued

calls, to which this care subjected him

was Herbert Allen, almost perpetually

in the chamber of the invalid a sharer of the untired attention and ceaseless

watchings of the devoted Avoline. The

cares of both had their reward. Maior

Worthington at length arose from the worn couch of pain, and with the gladness of returning health, again went forth over his fields, for he had left the city for the more pleasant sphere of agricultural pursuits; and through the various concerns of his household, nothing of the disorder he had anticipated was visible. There had been a watchful eye upon all the wheels of his wonted ccon omy, and while he yet remembered Herbert Allen as a pervading presence in his own weary chamber, he found the evidences of his directing hand in every department of his interest. Vhat do I not owe you!' said he grateful Worthington. 'You have new

arisen, my dear sir, that with the perfect re-establishment of your health will call me far hence. You are aware that a new

arena of action has opened beyond our
