in a self complacent mood. He was seated
in his deep cushioned high backed elbow

' Hear me, Mr. Hartwell, do you think

were rapidly nearing. each other.
dwelling of ’Squire Hartwell was located
in the junction of three roads, where those
from the cast and west, which were merely
paths, united with the great tiorthcrn high-
way. The house stood a few rods back of
the junction’, having a peach orchard in
front, a profusion of rose bushes around the
solid wall, and at high rind heavy gate which
shut out the dusty view of the street.
The object of the rivals seemed to be
who should first reach the gate. Dr. VVal-
ker bud the shortest and smoothest path,-
btit the long and rapid strides of Roger
were every nioinentdiiiiiriishing the inequal-
ity; and as foipvthe stones and hillocks in
the path, he miiided them no more than he
would the iliistle down.
Dr. Walker inctjeast-d his speed almost
to a run——ii would not do. Roger’s strong
grasp has the gate—he has etitered—and
with no little iinpetu,s"h‘e sent the ponderous
portal back to its station. It shut with a.
loud bnng,just as,W'alkci' reached it; bring-
ing him up to a -perpendicular as rigid as
that of a Prussian grenadier. So closely
vis-avis was he with the gate that his nose
was grazed by the contact; and partly by
the rush of the air, his best beaver was
thrown from his head, and rolled a consid-
erable distance in the dusty path.
Dr. Walker was greatly discomfitted. and
not a little enraged at the audacityyofhis ri-
val ; be well knew Roger was not_“-the man
he could frighten : and as for fighting such
:1 fellow, that was out of the question. So
the Doctor endeavored to calm and cool
himself as best he rnight—wiped the per-
spiration from his brow and the dust from
his large silver buckles, adjusted his dress,
shook his hat, and having recovered his com-
posure, be walked forward to pay his re-
spects to the ladies.
CHAPTER xii.--ror.i'rics.
Freedom, patriotism, and philanthropy.
are Nature’s three patents for making no-
blemeu. ‘
The mind in which either oftbesc three
emotions, viz. the love of liberty, the love of
country, and thelovc of mankind is predom-
inant, will be exalted, above the immediate
wants of mankind; but if the three noble
feelings named, unite and govern in the
same mind, be sure that individual will be
mighty among his race. No matter in what
station he is born, to what calling he has
been destined--there is that in his own breast
which willbear him upward and onward.
And the course of conduct. which in a man
of his character may, at. first appear presump-
tous or impossible, will. in the end, he
fotind perfectly consistent with the confi-
dence which ri well balanced and justly di-
rected mind should feel in its own strength
and resources.
How little did Dr. Walker appreciate the
cool-philosophy of Roger's address, as the
latter politely bowing on his entrance in-
quired after his heglth. Dr. Walker did
not reply——did not_s’e¢§gii to have heard, but

‘ It is not the price often, madam, that is
of consequence,’ observed Huger respectful-

‘ Yes,’ interrupted the'Squire, ‘it is the
principle that we contend against; three
pence or three pounds would be all the same.
Indeed if we submit to peace. we may also

' Weniust resist it,’ said Roger.
' We will resist it,’ echoed the ’Squire.
‘ I do not see as any benefit to the coun-

Walker. ‘ If Pairliument has ordered the

‘ It never Sllitll be sold,’ said the "Squire,
setting his teeth and breathing hard.

‘ The ladies “Ill notthank you for rating

' I know [am talking reason, sir,’ replied
Roger, calmly rising and confronting his
antagonist. ' And I have faith to believe
that I shall live to see the day when in Amer-
ica, reason will not be treason.’
CHAPTER IV.—-A NEW’ LOVER.
Now a great deal depends upon position.
The girl in a ball-room must appear in a
graceful position; the lady in society must
maintain a fashionable position; the statesman
before the world must iissumea commanding
osition; but none ofthese are more import-
ant than the position which a young man
maintain: in presence of his lady-love—for
his position, and the manner in which he
operates upon her feelings always predict
their destiny. If he rattles and prattlcs, and
talks sweet nonsense, and she is delighted
with it, they will be a stupid couple, and
robably quarrel before they have been wed-
ded halfa year. If, on the contrary, be ap-
pears dignified and respectful, and sometimes
introduces subjects of moral and intellectual
improvement, and she appears gratified with
his tone of sentiment, or responds with a
brilliant quotation, or appropriate remark-
there. I say, is a couple who have ii fair
chance of being happy themselves and who
will probably shed a lustre around them
which shall light the path of others.»
When Roger stood before his rival in the
calm dignity ofa patriot, and Lucy’: eye
showed that she approved his speech as the
perfection of manly sentiment, it was all
over with Dr. Walker. He was in ii false
position. He understood it too, and more
angry that he had been beaten by a man who
was in an inferior station, that be had lost
the lady. be determined to bring‘ another
competitor into the field; one who had no
political disabilities to surmount. who could
agree with the father about the whigs. and
with the mother about the weather, and
whose profession, family, fortune.and figure
would, be doubted not, gain the victory over
Roger. This new candidate for Lucy}
favor, was Seth Trumbull, the young law-
yer.
The young lawyer became a constant
visitorqat. ‘Squire I-lartwell’s. It was soon
understood by the wholeparish, that the
match was, as it is termed, made. True.
Lucy steadily denied it, but at that day it
,was not the fashion for young ladies to
“proclaim their engagment as soon as they
had said yes-so her denial wentfor nothing.
Dr. Walker asserted confiden'tially,’every
where, that it would match; Mrs.

‘ Lucy, will you tell I are you engaged '5'
‘ No.’
‘ And—and -—may I hope yoti never will
be engaged--that is to him ‘2—Lucy, I love
oti.’
The aliruptness and impetuosity with
which he spoke seemed the effect of feelings
which he could not repress. Lucy was so
surprised, so confused, that she was obliged
to lean on his arm for support; so there was
no opportunity for her to show much anger
at his presumption. Roger soon forgot that
he had ever been poor and a shoemaker.--
The first consciousness of being beloved,
seems to a young man as the crowning point
of his ambition. He feels elevated for he
has se_cus'ed the empire of one heart which
he would not forgo for the sceptre of Napa-
leon.
Roger walked into the parlor of ’Squit'o
Hartwell with the air ofa man who has no
further cares for what may betide him in
this life: and Anna Minot said that he ask-
ed consent that very evening. »
‘ Roger is well enough,’ said Mrs. Hart-
