D. addressing the mistress of the house.

‘It is, sir.’

‘ He seems to be quite aged.’

‘He is in his eighty-th'ii'd year; he has
survived all his children excepting myself’

‘ You have once seen better days.’

FILIAL W'i)i‘.{'l‘H REVVARDED.
' My tale is simple and of humble birtlt,
. A tggibute of respect to real worth.’

 

‘You are too parsimonious, I-lenry,’ said
Mr. D-:—-— to one of his clerks, as they
were together in the counting house, one
morning, ‘give me. leave to say that you do
not dress sufficientl genteel to appear as a
clerk in a fashionab e store.’ I‘1t.'nl’y’S face
was suffused with a deep blush, a tear
trembled on his manly cheek. ‘Did I not
knot.’ that your salary was sufficient to pro-
vide more genteel habiliments.’ continued Mr.
D. ‘I would increase it.’
‘My salary is sufficient, simply sufficient,
sir,’ replied Henry, in a voice choked with
that proud independence of feeling which
povetiy had not been able to divest him_of.—
His employer noticed his agitation, and im-
mediately elinnged the subject.
Mt. D. was :1 man of iinmense wealth and
ample benevolence ; he was a widower, and
had but one child, a daughter, who was the
pride of his declining years. She was not as
beautiful asan angel, or as perfect as Venus;
but the goodness, the innocence, the intelli-
gence olthcr mind shone in her countenance,
and won had but to become acquainted with,
to &(l’.‘.lll‘t’. and love her. Such was Caroline
D‘.'l;'9‘.L‘_:;.', when I-It-iii'y first became an inmate
of her f:itiicr’s house. No wonder then that
he soon loved her with that deep and devoted
afI'e.ction——-antl reader, l]:lCl you known him,
you would not have wondered that that love
was soon returned, for their souls were con-
genial ; they were cast: in virtue’s purest
mould—and although their tongues never
gave utterance to what their hearts felt, yet
the language of their eyes was too plain to be
mistaken. Henry wasthe very soul ofiionor,
and although he perceived. that he was not
indifferent to Caroline, he still felt that he
must conquer the passion that glowed in his
bosom. ‘I must not endeavor to win her
young and artless he-art,’ thought he——‘ I am
pennylcss, and cannot expect that her father
would ever consent to her union-——he has ever
treated me with kindness, and 1 will not be
ungrateful.’ Thus he reasoned, and thus he
heroically endeavored to subdue what be con-
sidered an ill fated passion. Caroline had
many suitors, and some who were fully
worthy of her; but she refused all their over-
tures with a gentle, yet decisive firmness.
Her father wondered at her conduct,» yet
would not thwart her inclinations. -
He was in t we decline of life and wished
to see her happily settled before he quit the
stage of existence. It was not long ere he
Sllspectcd that young Henry was the cause of
her indifference to others; the evident plea-
sure she took in hearing him praised, the
blush that overspread her cheeks whenever
tlieireyes met, all served to convince the old
gentleman, who had not forgotten that he was
once young himself, that they took more than
a cotnmon interest in each other’s welfare.
He forbore making any remarks upon the
subject, but was not as displeased at the sup-
positirn, as the pcnnyless Henry would have
imagined. _

Henry had now been about a year in his
employ. lVlr. Delaney knew nothing of his
family, but his strict integrity, his irrept‘oacl1-
able morals, his pleasing manners, all conspir-
ed to make him esteem him highly. He
was proud of Henry, and wished him to ap-
pear in dress as well as manners, as respecta-
ble as any one. He had often wondered at
the scantiness of his wardrobe, for although
be dressed with the most scrupulous regard
to neatness, his clothes werealmost thread-
bare. Mr. D. did not think this proceeded
from a niggardly disposition, and he deter
mined to breach the subject, and if possible,
ascertain the real cause——tliis he did in the
manner we have related.

Soon after this conversation took place, Mr.
D. left home on business. As he was return-‘
ing, and riding through :1 beautiful little vil-
lage, he alighted at the door of a cottage, and
requested a drink. ‘E-‘he mistress, with an
ease and politeness that convinced him that
she had not always been the humble cottager,
invited him to enter. He accepted her invi-
tation—-—and here a scene of poverty and neat-
ness presented itself, such as he had never be-
fore witnessed. The furniture, which con-
<isted of nothing more than was absolutely
rtecessary, was so exquisitely clean that it
rave charms to poverty, and cast an air of
iomfort all around. A venerable looking old
man, who had not_seemed to notice the eu-
trance of Mr. D sat leaning his head on his

nearly all our property, and one iiiisfoitunc
followed another until we were reduced to
poverty. My husband did not long survive
his losses, and two of my children soon fol-
lowed him.’ 1‘

‘ Have you any remaining children ‘.2’

‘I have pne, and he is my only support.
My health is so feeble I cannot do much, and
my father being blind, needs great attention.
My son conceals from my knowledge the
amount of his salary; but I am convinced
he sends _me nearly all, if not the whole
amount ofit.’

‘Then he is not at home with you '3’

‘.No sir, he is a clerk for a merchant in
Philadelphia.’ I
‘Pray what is your son’s name?

‘ Henry VV————-.’

‘Then she is yours,’ cried the dultghtecl
Old m=‘..'1, ‘ say not a word about property, on’
boy; trite worth is better than riches. I
was only trying you then, Henry ; and
Caroline will never be married to any other
but yourself.’ '

The transition from despair to happiness
was great. For a moment Henry remained
silent; but his looks spake volumes. At
last—-‘ I scorn to deceive you sir,’ so id be, ‘ I
am poorer than what you suppose-—-I have a
niotlier and grandfather who are’--—

‘I know it. I know it all, Henry,’ said
Mr. D. interrupting him. ‘I know the rea-
son of your parsimony, as.I called it, and I
honor you for it--it was that which first put
it into my head to give you Caroline-.-_‘-so she
shall be yours, and may God bless you both l’

Shortly after this conversation, Henry
avowed his love to Caroline. and solicited
her hand, and it is needless to say that he did
not solicitin vain. Caroline would have de-
fcrred their union until the ensuing spring;
btit her fnthcr was inexorable. . He suppos-
ed he would have to own one falsehood, he
said, and they would williiigly have him
shoulder two; but it was too much--entirely
too much—and he had told Henry that she
was going to be married in five weeks, and
he should not forfeit his word. ‘ But per-
haps,’ added he, apparently recollecting bin‘:-
sclf, and turning to Henry, ‘ we shall have
to defer it after all, for you have. important
business ‘in the country about that time ’

‘ Be merciful, sir,’ said Henry, smiling, ‘I’
did not wish to witness the sacrifice of my
own happiness.’

‘ I am merciful,’ replied the old gentleman,
‘and for that reason would not wish to put
you to the inconvenience of slaving. You
said you would willingly obligeinie, butyou
could not, indeed you could notl’

‘ You have once been young, sir,’ said
Henry. ' ‘

‘I know it, I know it, replied lie, laugh-
ing heartily, ‘but I am afraid too many of us
old folks forget i't—howcver, if you cab post-

housc, not at fortnight since.’

Here followcd a succession of inquiries,l
which evinced an aiixicty and solicitude thatl
a mother alone could feel; to all of which
Mr. D. replied to her perfect satisfaction.

‘ You know our I-Ieury'.?' said the old man,
raising his head from his staff; ‘well sir,
then you know as woi‘th_v a ltl(l as ever lived;
God will bless him. He will bless him for
his goodness to his poor old grandfather,’ he
added in it ti'emulous voice, while the tears
ran down his aged checks

‘ He is a worthy fellow to be sure,’ said
Mr. D. rising, and placed a well filled purse
in the hands ofthcold man. ‘He is a worthy
fellow and shall not want friends.’

‘ Noble boy,’ said be mentally, as he was
riding leisurely along ruminating on his in-
tervietv; ‘noble boy; he shall not want
wealth to enableliim to distribute happincss.
I believe he loves my girl, and if he does, he
shall have her, and all my property in the
bargain.’

Filled with this project, and determined, if
possible, to ascertain the trite state of hearts,
he entered the breakfast room next morning
after his arrival home.

‘So Henry is about to leave us to go to
England and try his fortune,’ he carlessly ob-
Served.

‘ I-Icnry about to leave usl said Caroline,
droppuig the work she held in her hand;
‘about to leave us, and going to England l’
she added inatonc which evinced the deepest
interest. '

‘To be sure; but what if he is, my child '2’

‘ Nothing sir, nothing; only I thought we
should be rather lonesome,’ she replied, tum-
ing away to hide the tears which she could
not suppress. '

‘ Tell me, Carolinc,’ said Mr. D. tenderly
embracing her. ‘tell me, do you not love
Henry? You know I wish your happiness,
my child. I have ever treated you with
kindness. and you have never until now, hid
any thing from your father.’

‘Neither will I now,’ she replied, hiding
her face in his‘bosom. ‘I do most sincerely
esteem him, but do not for the world tell hint
so; for he has never said it was returned.’

‘Henry,’ said be, entering the counting
house, ‘you expect to visit the country short-
ly, do you '2’

‘ Yes sir, in about four weeks.’

‘If it would not be too inconvenient,’ re-
joined Mr. D. ‘I should like to have you de-
for it a week or two longer.’

‘It will be no inconvenience, sir, and if it
would oblige you, I will with pleasure.’

‘It will most certainly oblige me, for Caro-
line is to be married, in about six weeks, and
I would not miss having you attend the wed-
ding.’

‘Caroline to be married, sir 1’ said Henry,
starting as if by an electric shock, ‘ Caroline
to be married! Is it possiblel’

‘To be sure it is; but what is there so
wonderful about that '1'

‘Nothing, sir ; only it was rather sudden, .

rather unexpected, that’s all.’ _

‘It is rather sudden, to be sure,’ replied
Mr. D. ‘but I am an old man, and wish to
see her have a protector; and as the man is
well worthy of her,’ I see no use in waiting
any longer, and am very glad that you can
stay to the wedding.’

‘I cannot stay, sir, indeed. I cannotl’ re-
plied Henry, forgetting what he had previous-
ly said.

‘ You cannot stay?” replied Mr. D. ‘why
you just now said you would.’

‘ Yes sir, but business requires my presence
in the country, and Imust go.’ _

‘ But you said it would put you to no in-
convenience, and that you would wait with
pleasure.

‘ Command me in any thing else, sir, but
in that request I cannot oblige you.’ said
Henry, rising and walkingthe floor with ra-
pid strides. _

Poor fellow ; he had thought his passion
subdued ; but when he found that Caroline
was so soon, so irrecoverably to become
another’s the latcnt spark burst forth into an
iinextinguishable flame; and he found liln V3-In
to endeavor to conceal his emotion.

The old gentleman regarded him with is
look of earnestness—‘Hem‘y,’"said he, ‘tell
me frankly; do you love my girl?’

‘I will be candil with you, sir,’ replied
I-Tenrv, unconscious that his agitation had
betrayed him. ‘Had I a fortune sucl
as she merits, and as you, Sl'l', have a right
to expect, I should esteem myself the happiest
of men, could I gain her lcve.’
