ANON Gotrudc Beverly, an orphan ami an heiress, had grown up w ith all the mani fold priv ileges and immunities, to winch on heiress has prescriptive rights; "a eh tiler I rge as the winds," wiihal. to enact whatever part she chose, of f illy m wisdom. An invitation from the Ellisons nn nimialh; and quiet family, in a quie illage, some two days juirnev from hei native city, and the Midden caprice of tin moment, determined ber to spend wi lt them the two remaining months of hei minority. Thought very distant, the wen1 her nearest surviving relatives, an., had therefore some claim upon her attention. A creature of f ishionahle f mtasi ;s, pav, volatile, vain and conscious .f p,iu cr, dressed in the extreme of fishiuial le elegance, and seeming to regard life ra ther as n pageant than a mere every dav concern, she arrived at the neat and eluded mansion.

This riid j isii'-e w as not with ut it efiect. Ui character was at onCe tirmly based; and an emplov meut in an x'ettt-ive mercantile establishment, en uded hini at once tocontmue bis si-.ter nt the fashionable school where she had been idaced by her parents. Bit Eliza shared his own proud virtues. She knew tier I n.tner still cnerisiieil a stronjr prefercme f r tin profession to which he bad been originally destined, and that with on ly himself to provide 'or.be might vet attain it. She early looked forward to the ime when her own exertions would secure her support, and with an untiring industry h it could not tail ol attaining its object she strove to perfect herself in those bran dies ol female accomplishment which she now regarded not as mere embellishments but as attainments positively enforced bv gratitude mid duty. Her native gentb ness of manners, and elev ation of charac ter were favorable to her purpose; and it is more than a year since she has been the principle teacher in tbe young ladies seminary of this place Her brother has devoted himself to his favorite profession ind is at this time attending a course id law lectures in vour own city. Quite a tale of romance said Miss BeV eil;and truly Mtss Hirtlami's countenance is in fitm keeping w ith the character of a her-'iue; writ that calm, pure brow of bets, and eves that when von look into them, vim feel as if looking down into deep waters when the m.ion is shining on them. O!), I know we shall be friends. You know my dear madam, there was never a heroine w ithout some dear , dear fiiends to act as a foil; and I have j ist conn? to take that place. II w very lortunate! We shall love one auo hT so entirely. B it Miss Beverly w as also mistaken. Iviza llartlautis manner towards her was roin ihe first as gentle as a si.ter's; and t would have been difficult to define the kind of instance it still preserved. Thenwas nothing in it of avoidance ore ibbiess; vet there was an impalpable something, bat drew around ber a line like a migie circle, over which u advance of familia rity might lie urged. 1 (or faculties were it all times called into the readiest rij iiition, to oblige Miss Beverlv. Shca in for ber phtved for her .-ketebed for her drew patterns for her assisted at her toilette, and all this wi Ii he mos' perfect pleisure; but here th.-ir iundli ;ence stopped ; and Gertrude, wh i b id binned unbounded munificence towards indigent orphan, found it impossible o make any return for her dailv acts ol iindness. Klizi h id no wants -tin de Mres no bun les no sniros to communicate no lost privileges to regret.

She is a strange girl, thought Gertrude Beverlv; can all this be pride? Pud.'. inder that meek and gentle bearing! he idea w as prcpns emus. II is she no icari? A llrusand in-tances. even the expression of ber countenance at that nomeut, gave answer; fir she wis speaking of her brother's expected return, ami here was a new and animated light in hei .aim ev e. And is this brother of yours, whose promised coming has given so rich a tin to our cheek is he much like von K iz t ? Oh, be is all; but Miss IlartLnd cheeked herself and laughed at the hall" spoken eulogy, while she added, von will consi ber him a very selfish animal, fr he imuch engrossed by bis own pursuits to take any part in general society. General society ! repeated Gertrude, mentally ; and with this, I suppose then, I itnsttlltole classed. The brother at I ist came; ami it was then that the fall ft od of llizis deep, though still spirit, poured itself out in the strong flow of af lection, He gladness. It was met too, bv all the unsupprcssed ardor of a brother's a 'iie-t, fondest love, while it is vet the te iden -t tie that the young heart owns; n't tiertnnie Beverly feit, perhaps, foi he first time, that the hidden vvealtli. for I lies .nl scatters a glory upon the pathVl i!e, not caught f,:, i:!S mioo-in" sidenA. lois.

Eliza, too was sununntcd doring her brothc s visits; no wonder his well known step was heard with quick ened pulses and thus diffusing pleasure round him, what wonder Ins town eye flashed with a deepened light, as he tool; hi3 scat between Ids sister and her fair friend In truth, hi hall hour soon became gradually lengthened, and it was evident his wonted pursuits, had no lm :cr so very absorbing an influence H i ving one day stepped into Miss HartlrtniPs room in tier absence, Gertrude's eve was arrested bv a pair of plain earrings, which lay on her table, ami the thought struck ber of attaching to thetn the costly drops she Wore in her own While thus engaged she beard tvizaV step on the stairs, and unwilling to bo detected till she had coinpleted her little arrangement, she slid into an adj lining chamber. The door was st j ir, and the Voice of Ilartland who entered a fe v moments after his sister, distinctly reached her. Where is Mis Beverly ? he enquired 1 do not often find you alone. And this is the reason, dear Ethwald I suppose, that our visits have been souie-whnt prolonged of late. If so, I will call her immediately. Nonsense! Eliza ; though now I have mentioned her, pray what is your estimate of her? Is her mind and character worthy of her face and form! She is a warm-hartcd affectionate girl. And her mind. That is nu requisite of female loveliness. Pshaw! II is she intellect enough or not? or that kind of cultivation . She has all the accomplishments be longing to fashionable life? Ah! I understand vou She cansingn iiitb', dance exquisitely draw a little, embroider a little, and is perfectly mitress of the art of personal embellish uient. S t then, this is all. Why Gertrude Beverlv was formed tor sumcthiug beyond this, Everv feature is instinct with higher capabilities. H it Eiiza, I am glad Iromtny soul I am that her personal I tveiiness is tier only claim. And whv ? Because, did you not tell mc she is an heiress. And you would therefore be an unsuccesful wooer 1 would theref re, not be a wooer at all; no. not even were 1 certain of success. I have no ambition to owe my bread to mv wife's inheritance. Yes, Hirtland con tinned, it is well; it is all well, indeed fr Acre I not a beggar I know not wh it I'd Iv her beauty might lead me to commit. There is a s range charm about her a sjtortiveness like that ol childhood, giving in interest to ber m ist uiimeaui.ig remarks and her voice, why it thrills throtlgh me ike a rich instrument to whose tones the .iccoiiipaiiv ing words add nothing. Eihwabi ! said Eliza, in a voice of quiet tenderness; you must not give me s. much of v our time as von have of late. It is a sacrifice you cannot nfFud, oii are right, my sweet sister, quite right ; said the brother laughing; but there vvas bitterness in bie tone. 1 will obev vou too as I would an oraelc ; so oMtid b e. ... f ind I wiil ti t see you again fbr a week. lie was faiihful to bis promise, ami when he again called, his m inner was banged. There was a deepened glow, t , on Mi s Beverlv s eh ck, nol caugln iroui the sun set's crimson, reflected around her, and mutual restraint seemed to have chained the feelings of both. The spell of lelbjht was diss dved they met again i:. .eeij.roc.il reserve, and when soon f;er Miss Beverly returned to her native ciiv, bough tbe restless eye of Hirtland' told ot troubled emotion, his manner was narked by politeness only. E izi's adieus were those of kindness; but still ihe gal V ered quietude of her brow, t.dd a eoiisci. Misness tint they were treading different paths, and for them therefore there could ne no green places no fountains of cm num. Meanwhile young H iriland completed bis preparatory studies, and was now ace irhng to his original purpose, toestabli-h himself in the nearest citv. Yoi will rail on MisS Beverlv, sail Mrs. Ellison, as Ilartland was about t-iking leave-; I have a pac ket for her, which I w i-h yoiito h ind her yourself. No unwelcome commission, if she may judge bv tint c hange of color, and Gertrude will I c so glad to sec yo i, houih her letters of late, are far less cheerful th in thev were formerly; but I hope it is only that her -pirns are getting a little tamed. Tbe charge indeed was far from bein" a pleasant one. It was sometime aft. r Ins arrival, before be could summon sufficient coinage to lu fil i', and when he at last knocked at the door of the elegant miiisiou to which he had been directed, there was an embarrassment in his manner, that he h id striven vainlv to throw o!f. The deep ri- li glow of pleasure, which lit up the lovely leal ores of Gertrude Beverly, however, at tiis entrance, operated ipou him like a spell, and one glance swent away ail recollections of the nasi ind lb nights of the future. Was she iuieed changed? or was he sell-deluded? She certainly seemed to him far lovelier ban be had yet seen her, and there was a lone of thought and f cultivated feeling in her conversation which he bid been far from associ itin with her mem try. There was a shade, too,' of pecuniary penstveness through which the glee of her nature still fl ing its bright gleaming 'ike sunshine through shadowing foliage, ihat gave a deepened interest to her exceding beauty. An I this is the lieing, 'hought Hirtland whom I deemed but a thing tor passing .id mi rat ion ; but if even then 1 was not master of mvself in her presence, what am I now doing here! lie rose to depirt II j struggled to speak even w ith coldness, ba his voice faultered, and bis eye was fail of passionate tenderness. I should be happy to see you sometimes Mr. UirtUud, said MU Boverly, iu a

not perhaps awareIlartland trembled from head to fuot.Ofvhat? That I htvo not the power to dmr nround me, those who arc only to be attract ed by wealth. You look surprised, but the failure of a guardian, involving the nun of those consigned to his care, m nn sin gular tale in this world of change, and per haps, after all, 1 have no reason to repine.' Had Gertrude lilted her eves to those of her auditor, the sudden and intense light tha flished from his, might have awaken cd a doubt of .sympathy she must have reasonable anticipated; hut her own were accidentally averted, and the vehement earnestness of his inquiries, at onco ex pressed all ihe interest proper lor the oc casion. 4 have nothing to regret,1 she continueu.as stie assured him ot the re men i less ness of her wrongs; I have learned many i needful lesson from my disappointments; and, however I may be fnrgotton bv the crowd, there are still those whoso friend ship my changed fortune, has not alienated. Amoni these arc the family, under whose roof I have s ill a homej and such I shall find in the kind hearted Mrs. Ellison, tho' I have yet forborne to pain her with the detail of mv affairs, and iu your gentle and lovely sister, and--and yourself, Mr. llartiantl for some what cooldlv as you have seemed hitherto to regard me, as an indigent and dependant, Gertrude has now a claim upon your better feelings. Coldly T repeated llattland, and his own poverty Ins uncertain prospects bis former doubts were all utterly forgot ten. Passion was in his soul strong, mighty, uncontrollable. Who in such a moment takes counsel of the future, li was only amid the delirious rapture of re ciprocal avowal, that he at last rer..ember ed he might not in ike her the sharer of those struggles which yet necessarily a - waited hitnl But hope wn fresh in his heart, and his pirit was strong in the con-s-i uisuessof its own gifts A brief space. and he trusted that be might offer her n home, at least secure fr un want. Ger irudu had risen proudly above the loss of fortune, stud strength of character, that had buoyed her thus iip would still enable her to dispense with its privileges I'ie - tures of domestic, happiness rose upon his s nil like rainbows upon iheskv, shedding light, and beauty, and promise upon hi pith; and Gertrude listened to his impas si med anticipations with frank, though ulushing approval. Bit ihe guerdon of professional merit, however surely, is but slowly awarded; and the animated hope, w ith which he had looked forward to the meed of intense industry, rapidly ielded to the chill of common reality. Passion is in patient abider of delays; Ehwald voon hec inV! restless and miserable, and his daily vi-its to Gertrude, but fed the fe .erish anxieties of his soul. Gertrude herself decided his struggles, 'If,1 said she, with a smile of cliperiug onfi leuce; 'if 1 am hereafter t(t bo a sharr of your prosperity, let me be also of its jirelitninarv gloom. It is while we are to e barred from life's brighter scenes, that ve need the solace of affection I have indeed a stroi g trust that the clouds now gatheiiig aro-uid ou,are but for a seas in; b it if it be otherwise, wo will still mel he tempest together And surely, E hvabl, v on cannot, fir my sake, hesitate, when you recollect that, while you are s'rivi ig for wealth, your betrothed is a dclendent upon those, upon whom she has i i claim.1 True; this was a point hn had not vet irged to himself; but it was decisive, liesides it was ecstaev to be thus urged on, ven to madness, by tenderness like Gertru les; and it now only remained to com It'ete the arrangements for their uni in. Miss Beverly expressed a strong desire for t ie supposing presence of Eliza, and a f vv lines, in which Ilartland sketched tin r cent events, conveyed tithe astonished girl the s minions to bis bridal. She obcyd w ith alacrity. The shade of distance, which mixed feelings had throw n over In-rr iiiuuer towards the gav and brilliant iciress, was melted away as they now met, ind one glance told ihe simply robed and leeplv blushing Gertrude, that the inter--h nige of heart, of which she had been so uiulous in their firmer intercourse, might n iw be attain-'d.

"Ami, why must E-izi leave us? enquired Gertrude, the follow ing day, as ihe tor nep was preparing already fir her return. Why should not our home in future, be net's also?' II inland's countenance changed. The q icstion awakened him like a blow, from the trance of hippiuess ino which love i id lulled him.

He felt himself arraigned fur ais procipitaney, and a train of musings ipon lint f.nure. upon which not only In.; iwn fate, but lb it of her whom he so p is--iniately love"', was now cast, absorbed lis every faculty- Gertrude leaned towards him, and placed her fair hand in his; nil ii snt tthered igh was the only res .lonse.

Pardon! a thousand limes, dearest Ethwald; it was only in an assumed character, I could hope to win jour love. Oh,

Among those wh"o nrimc stand tush in itrifcsi'Hril eminence, ha well at thosi surrounded bv the plend rs f wc ilih, L'htvaM Ilartland tik an early and dis-tingui-hed place; and if Gertrude, is vet vain, it is only of the wreath that bind the brow of her husband. In the new novel of Miram Collin, the good ship Grampus, of Nantucket, tinder Ihe command of Seth M icy, and with her owner Jetliro.Coffin, on board, is repre icnted as endeavoring to escape from ; French picarKin. The attempt proving ineffectual the method of relief resorted to, is described in the following passage: The Grampus was now kept off two or three points, and a forctopmasl studding sail was aimut being set but got tin rove. A couple of hands were ordered alolt tJ rig in the boom and reeve the tack anew. In an intant, little Isaac, who h id heard the order, put the end of the rojnj between his teeth, ran up the lore shrouds, ereM out on top of the fore yard like a monkey, and then out upon the bare boom. But, be f -re he had accomplished his task, the Frenchman brought their long torn, charg ed with small shot, to bear upon the yard, and let drive at Isaac; thinking probably, that his labor might be the means of enabling tho Grampus to escape. The little fellow was not disconcerted by this terrible salute although the balls whistled like hail around hirn. He fearlessly ami deliberately went on with his work. They arc again charging the gun! shouted English Bill. Come down mv boy! Creep in! Seize one of the halliards, and let yourself down with a run! Ay, a '.cried lsaacas he finished rccving the tack. He then quickly gathered a few fathoms in his haul, threw the coil down upon the firecastlc, and the sail was immediately hoisted. The long torn was J again elevated, and the guncr iu the act of applying the initcli. but Isaac slopped not for the additional peppering The chords ran q iickly ihr. his glowing hands, And. quick as Iigr.o.ig, on the deck he j stands. j H ill my little vonkerl mv eyes, but tyouVe :i brave mil Yiiu'll lie an Admiral !yet de see1 exclamed E-iglish Bill, as he i ivfillv bagged the stripnliug in hiCO 4 O IjmwiiV arms. Ttio prediction of Bill rang hi tha cars of Isaac 1 r niinv a vear afterwards, li was like the propbe ic sound of the bells :o the hearing of Wiiitnngtoti i Torn again Whittingtun, Lord Mayor of L uidon.' The hasty stride of Seth were again arrested by another shf, which passed ihrough the sail over his bead. He folded his arms, looked up a! the rent sail ind drew 1 1 his form, as if some new purpose had taken possession of his despairing mind. By Heaven! said he I will not part with so fine a ship and carg i, without a deadly struggle. Swear not! said Jelhro, it will not help us iu our strait. We ni ly better yield ip.ietly to the necessity, l'ut dowti thy helm Seth, and l-ring ihe ship to. Yield quietly 1 did A thou say? and did I understand thee aright when thou bid me to bring the ship to? Tbe eves of Seth glared wildly upon Jelhro, and, his n s tills distented like those of an eu!uriute wi d t hi 1 1 at bay. l'ut down the helm, in deed; I'rav, neighbor Jediro who is tin commander of the Gram.tus thou or I? loin -uided Seth , iu high dudge m.

Jetliro answered calmly: Tlrvj, surely, art ber C .iptain, and I ield ail to thy di eretlon. Sive lite ship it tboii ::iut;but dio.i caiii'i not. We have no means of defence, and if we hid it would not be j isUliible tooppose with arms. Jelhro! My resolution is taken, I will save this shipor sink iu her.' Wu.u! yie.u to that little gidlly, that gallinipper,that is -carcelv larger than our boat ? Another shot better direete l than the other, splintered a piece from the mainmast and wounded one of the crew.

Yield indeed! the ship shall sink lirsi! muttered Sjth,a: Jelhro began to descend. Stand by there men! shouted the Captain, in a voice that made every s.nloi J start. It was evident to all that Seth h id put off the Q laker, and that proper obedience was necessary.

The crew of the schooner now discovered, but toxi late the lcsijn of tho Grampus; and confusion and diro amazement agitated the people upon her crowded deck.
