A T.t\I.E—-BY BIBS. OPIE. '
'l‘iit«:r.r. never was a happier family than‘ that of
M1-.' \'v'coil\=ille, nor one whose happiness seem-
ed more likely to last. He was a prosperous
I't1ftllt‘.f:lCl‘.ll‘Cl‘ in alarge city ; his eldest son was
clerk to a general merchant in London, and was
sure whenihe was old enough of having a share
in the firm ; for his master had no children, and
it was thought likely that I-IenryVVoodrille would
be his heir. Elizabeth Vi/oodvillotoo, the eldest
;}auglitcr, was going to be remarkably well mar-
ried, and her success in life exhibited the triumph
of character and female attraction over pride and
prejudice; for herlorcr was rich and highly con-
ncctetl, and his father had forbidden him to think
of inagting -.1 woinan his wife who had neitherhigh
birth nor fortune ; but chance, having thrown E-
lizabeth in Mr. IIarcourt’s way, (where he did
not know her nor she him, and under circumstan-
t‘.e!‘. which c-illezl forth from her some of those.
little serrices that wcmcn alone can render,) he
was so cliarmed with her person, manner and
qualities, that, as soon as he knew who she was,
he retracted his prohibition totlie union, and e-
‘Yen bestowed on itthe warmest approbation ; and
er. soon as his son was five-and-twenty it was set-
tied that they were to marry.
Henry Vifoodville was now looking forward
\'."ll.il great impatience to the hour when he
should be taken into the firm ; for he had lately
fallen in love, though the object of his passion
,-.-5.9‘ not only wholly unconscious of it, but had
llBV§‘.l‘_ even looked at liim to the best of his be-
lief.
She had three‘ or four times accompanied her
mo'.l,ier to Mr. t'.‘.mirtnay’s when she came to
-speak to him on business relative to the disposal
of a large stock of wine left by her deceased
liusbaud. and had been too modest to look at any
one ; therefore VVoo<lville was sure her eyes had
never met his ; but still /xc had looked and loved;
and though her mothet’s situation was such as to
forbid his raising his hopes to the possession of
her daogltter while he was clerk, he knew that,
when l.tlv3l’:tlSl.ll6SS for himself, she would have
no" right to look down on him. .Ac<:orclingly he
chose to feed rather than starve his passion, and
he always contrived to meet them in the Mall in
St. .l-imes’s Park on a Sunday evening, where
habited in his best array, he hopctt to attract the
eyes of Anna Vinceiit, and lead her to read in his,
the wishes of his heart. Butlie tried in vain:.
and once when he had an opportunity of doing
her a service, and perhaps of catching her eye,
the timidity of true love prevciitcd him from ta-
king advantage of the opportunity ; for his less
interested companion took up “the glove she
dropped, and on presenting it_ to her, received
that look and those smiling thanks which to him
would have been invaluable.
‘He consoled himself, howev::r, by the thought,
that when he was a partner in the concern, he
would get his kind friend i\’Il‘.= Courtnay to intro-
duce him, and then perhaps she would look at
him.
But a most sad and unexpected blow was put to
his expectations, and the prosperity of his family.
Circumstances over wiiich he had no control,
and which no industry and no care could have pre-
vented, brought on the ruin of Mr. X‘./'ontlville.‘—_::'

prospect of gratifying liis_la‘t_i'_dal)ic ambition.--
‘During this time he‘ had alsiftlie satisfaction of
finding that his unmeritcd misfortunes had no ef-

had said, ‘ This is a misfortune that is unac_com-
panied with disgrace, and which has only served

r. VVoodville might have had another. grati-

may had now taken Henry into the trade:
crefore resolved to’ shorten‘ the duration of
irent’s privations and frugal mode of living,

litate the full payment of his father's debts ;

went on in this mannei' for 3 years ;
it: end of that time Henry remitted his
to his father, who at first refused to ac-
ii ; but on finding that they would liqui-
debt to all but a hundred pounds, he re-
reward his soo’s filial piety by accepting
them, as he preferred being his debtor to being
that of any other man or men; and he wrote
Henry, by return of post, such a letter as well
repaid him for any sacrifice that he had made.
Eli_zabcth’s lover had great pleasure in making
this trait in I-Ienry’s character known to his _fa-
ther, and be owned that he should be proud to be,
allied to so virtuous a family.
Now then, thought Henry, my income is near-
ly my own ; the remaiiiiiig hundred pounds will
soon be gained by father and me, and then I may
* think of marrying; and though Mrs. Vincent
has left London, no doubt Mr. Courtnay will be a-
ble’ to find out her residence.
It was new the -race time at Reading, (in Berk-
shire :) a:it,'ls Henry, who had hitherto rarely
left business, and had on- principle avoided all
unnecessary expense, resolved, as he had never
seen a race to go to this; he also promised
hiinself some pleasure, from attending the
race-ball, especially as he thought it was not im-
possible that chance might lead him to see his
beloved there. Accordingly with the approba-
tion of his partner_he set off for the races.
'l‘liere is, there can be no pleasure so great as
that which has been earned by self-denial, and-
the ‘surrender of one’s own gratification for the
sake of duty; and when Henry \Voodvillc set
off on his pursuit of_ amusement, he experienced
such a delightful flow of spirits, and such a feel-
ing of joyous expectation as he had never known
before, and which made the pleasant road along
which he passed to the pretty town of Reading
appearto him a sort of ‘ opening paradise.’
\Vhcn he reached Reading, he found the races
were to begin the next day ; and having discov-
ered which was the most fashionable promenade,
be repaired to it_ in hopes of seeing the lady of
his affections amongst the company. Though
love and fancy often clothed a coming object in
her form, making the delusion sometimes so
strong, that his heart throbbed violently with an-.
ticipated pleasure and emotion, till a nearer all-=
preach convinced him of his mistake. fIO\'.’6'§-
er, the evening was fine, the walk pleasant, the
women handsome, and he was amused ; since
the sunshine from within met and increased the
sunshine without, and there was also hope for the-
morrow I
The niorrovr came. and Henry repaired to the
race-ground. He surveyed the carriages with a
scrutinizing eye ;-butshe was not there. He
went on the stand, but he beheld her not--and he
was disappointed ; yet what reason had he to he
‘been taken into the firm before he was.
disappointed? He had no reason to suppose she
was likely to be there, and he could norhelp own-
ing to himself, no one but a brain-sick lover
could have exalted a possibility only into a prob-
ability; till at last he could not help lauglijng at
his own folly. Btit, better still-when the race
began he also forgot it.
The si_t;ht was beautiful, and the anxiety ofin- '.
tcrested suectators catching. ' Henry soon had a
favorite horse himself. First he learned to be
interested for ‘ blue,’ another time for ‘ purple ;’
till at last he found himselfbetting with stran-
gers, and new hopes, fears, and feelings awaken-
ing in his breast; while in the stimulating pleas-
ure of a race, he lost all sense of the probable
cruelty attending the tiaining, and the forced ex-
ertions of the animals before him.
Nor did the enjoyment cease to blind liira
while it lasted, and when on his return to the or-
dinary he dined with some of the joyous compa-
ny from the ground, he could remember nought
but that he was pleased, and that he looked for-
ward to the next day’s course with pleasure.
If his -companions (who were all strangers to
him) were not intellectual, they were harmless-—
they, like himself, had only betted small sums.——-
And the evening at the bull, though not delight-
ful, (as Henry did not see his love there, whom
in spite of his reason he still tried to discovr-2:',)
had some charm for his unpractised eyes, and he
went to rest eagerly anticipating the next day.
It came and brought with it a trial to Henry;
for a young man appeared at the inn and on the
course, who had been fellow clerk with him at
Mr. Courtnay’s, and who had expected to have

such had been his dissipated habits, his love of
pleasure, and utter neglect "of his —-duties, that
jwheii his father waited on Mr. Courtnay to pro-

'*‘I:__itlier the father nor the son ever forgave this
'jtisf?“punishnient of the vices of the latter : and
wliegi Henry VVoodvillc, on the strength of his
excéllciit conduct, was admitted into that firm
tvheifce David Bradford had been rejected, the
latter as well his father became the determined
enemies of that more successful because more
deserving youth ; and so apt did Bradford alivays
seem to quarrel with Henry, that, in compliance
with Mr. Courtnay’s warning voice and his own
principles, he made it a rule to avoid being long
at theplacc where Ilradford was. '1‘herel'ore

' him determined to be near him, to provoke him
to bet, and to enter,!_in‘.o conversation with him-----
while his countenaiie expressed animosity, tho’, '
he spokein a tone of kindness; and when he re-
flected on the irritations of nerve and feeling
which such a scene was likely to induce,,he wise-
ly resolved to avoid the danger, which if he met
he could not perhaps be proof against ; and be-
fore the last heat was begun, he not only left the
race-ground, but the place itself, and mounting.
his horse went on to Abingdon, where the assi-
zes were expected to begin in a day or two.
Though alone, ,-Henry \-Voodville had ‘not the
feelinggpf beitig solitary; for he loved reading,
and was ever fond of cominuning with his own
thoughts—--as those who have vigorous and well
filled minds always are : therefore, though disap-
pointed of the companion who was to have ac-
companied him on this excursion, he resolved
not to give it tip; and now he had undertaken it,
he still felt cheerful and satisfied,tliough he found
himself alone in a crowd in the streets, and at
the piincipalinii of the busy town of Abingdon ;
and he beguiled the two evenings which were to
elapse before the assizes began. in reading, and
in writing to Mr. Courtnay and his own family.
At length the judges entered the town, with a
degree of state, and solemnity worthy of the high
and awful ofllce which they had to fulfil; and
"Henry, while the trumpets and bells announced
their arrival, could not help thinking, with a sad
heart, on those to whom these sounds, instead of
opening a prospect of revelry and amusement,
awakened the shudderings of alarm, the anticipa-
tioii of agonizing suspense, and the fear ofjudg.-I
ment and of death. .
‘ I shall have no heart,’ thz ught he, moi‘ the
public amusements of the week; but I shall be
deeply interested in attending to the courts‘ of
justice.’ And he was so much interested, that
on the first day of the assizes he was in court till
the judges adjourned ; and having returned thith-
er when they did, he remained there till the bu-
siness ended for the night. But a most painful
surprise awaited him on his return to the inn.——
The landlord told him, that as his house was oth-
.erwise quite full, he had taken the liberty of put-
ting agentleman into the room through his;
which, as it was no thorough fare,had only a small
press-hed in it, and was never used but at such
crowded times as the present‘.
Henry did not like sucl) an arrangement as this--
to have his chamber the only passage to the room
of another, and that other a stranger to him ;—
but as he knew the other ion in the town was
full, as be ad applied for a bed there, he had no
resource but to submit. ->
‘VVell,' replied he, ‘I am sorry it is so——is
the gentleman in» the public room 9’
‘ Oh no, sir; he is gone to bed : he was very
tired, and he drank a good deal of our ale, sir.--
So he could not sit tjp till you came, which he was
very sorry for, as he knows you quite well.’
‘ Knows me 1’ cried Henry starting.
‘ Yes. sir ; and he said you could have no ob-
jection to sleep near him. It was not the first
time, for you were once fellow clerks together.’
Henry listened to this disclosure with the most
painful uneasiness. Here was a man whom he
wished from the best possible motives to avoid,
becomeas it welije the companion of his chamber 1
giving Bradford a (marked and personal offence.
“‘Well,‘-t_houglat he,‘ I must make up my mind
to the circumstance, trying as it is; and keep
"steadily before me, come what may come, the.-
necessary rule for conduct of bear and forbear.’
He then with a heavy heartrepaired to his
chamber, the silence of which was liOW>l)l0liCll
by the loud and restless slumber of Bradford, ea-
sily heard through the thin partition between the
chambers. ‘
I-~Iowever,at last Hen ry closed his eyes,and slept
till six ; then he rose, dressed, breakfasted, and
had taken aseat in court before Bradford awoke.
Henry"congratulated himself on having done
this. But he had done wrong ; as Bradford con-
sidered that he had acted thus purposely to avoid
breakfasting and associating with him; and Hen-
ry’s enjoyment of the new pleasure before him,
that of hearing causes, would have been wholly
destroyed, had he known the deep displeasure
which his early departure from the inn had exci-
ted in the vindictive Bradford.
the inn to supper, and joined the company at the
public table. It was not large, as many of those
whom he had seen the night before were gone
to,the ball ; but to the few remaining, Bradford
was now added.
‘Sir,’ said Bradford, when Henry had seated
himself, ‘ I think you might have had the civility
to tell me you were coming hither to the assizes,
and then we might have come together. But I
suppose, now you are thepartner of the rich -Mr.
Courtuay, and hope to be his heir, you are too
proud to associate with your old friends ?’ ’
‘ I should be sorry,’ Henry mildly replied, ‘ to
neglect any one ; and I am much concerned to
find you ‘tliougliil disrespectful. an emission
which could not be intended as such. Do, me
the favor now in token-that you forgive me, to
drinka glass of wine with me.’ I
' Bradfordwas at first reluctant to comply ; but
as he saw, the persons present, who seemed to
be gentlemen, regarded him as if they thought
he ought to accept Henry’s offer, be filled his
glass—and for the present, all seemed right be-
tween them.
