CHAPTER 1.
It was the misforiuni-: of Eleanor Howard
to have no protector but a lT!:ll'lO3LlV€l'll'lg aunt
and a great misfortune it is to a girl so sen-
sitive, so high souled as was our heroine.-
Mrs. Howard, hers:-lfa leader of the too,
was rletermined her niece should make a
brilliant match, and she spared no pains to
bring it about; but the more she tried to
show her off the rnorr: she kept her on; for
Eb-anor was a girl ofspirit as well as deli
czicy, and though her aunt had nianagt-cl re-
peatedly, by dint of the most dainty ll')a(l('EU-
vrcs. the most skillful gent-ralsliip, to bring
an ‘eligible’ to her let i. Eleanor, with a qui-
et dignity peculiar to herself, invariably bade
the-m rise. and gave them to understand that
they had mistaken themselves and her.
Mrs. Howard was in despair; not that El-
canor was a burdt-n to her—b_v no means!
She was no dependant-—-she had a little in-
come of her own; and was ntorcovcl‘, a gay
and charming couipiinion for the sometimes
lonely widow.
Bizt the lady flillercd herself she had a
rialiiral talc-nt—she certainly had a natural
ta.ste—for match-miikirig. Indeed she had
never knozvn it fiil before. She had mar-
ried off three HIPCES in as many years. nei-
ther of them hzilf so interesting as Eleanor,
and she was more vexed at her want of suc
cess in this instance than she chose to avow.
The men were astounded, the ivonien a-
mazed and incredulous. Both saw through
the designs of the aunt, and half suspectedthe
niece of partaking them, until her repeated
refusals of rank, wealth and fashion convin-
ced them in spite of their spite to the contra-
ry.
S.J.
CHAPTER II.
In the meantime. Eleanor chatted and
laughed and sang and danced as gaily and
sweetly as ever, and looked as bewitching as
possible, and did everything she could to
thing needful.’ She would wear all her
dresses clasped at the throat—-though her
neck had the dazzling tint of alabaster-—she
would sing her gayest songs when she ought
to have snag the most tender ones; and she
would stnile just as enchantingly on a pen-
diless poet. as on .a haughty millionaire.-
wbat was to be done with the proud and will-
ful maiden ? Was she looking for a coro-
net’! VVe shall see.
‘About this time an English nobleman ar-
rived in New York, and a succession ofpar-
ties were given in his honor by the elite of‘
the city. Rich, elegant and fascinating, he
- was carressed and flattered by niammas, and
least coniprotnisirigher maiden delicacy; for
she never for a ll'l()fIlC‘lll. gave what any one
bui a very vain mrin would lmve (lured 10
call ericourageme-nt to his devotion.
Yes! Lord F was caught in his
own net, as he deserved to be, and be bad
no alternative but to lay his hand, heart and
fortune at Ilt‘I' feet.
Eleanor listened in tranquil silence till he
had finished, and then calmly adjusting a
bracelet on her arm. told him very gravely
that she had made a resolution never to mar-
ry a title. ‘ ' ‘ _
"Lord F—-'—-- looked at her-in profound
amazement, and it. reqtiireil all her st-lf-pos-
session to subdue the smile which was try-
ing to play round h.-r lips. After a few mo-
ment’s pause he restitried with_a . half sup-
pressed sigh, his own niagnanimity.
‘And if, for your S\\'Ct'ISill(\’,CICi1I€'Sl,l0Vll‘
-‘st! I renounce my titlcthen T
‘Oh! Then Isliall be exceedingly obliged
to you: but the truth is, l have solemnly de-
teririinr-d never to marry at man of wealth.’
Lord F was Confotlntlctl. His
very eyebrows ‘rose to reply.’ But be cori-
quered once more his (llS’.Il2ly and surprise.
.inrl gazing passionately on her beautiful
downcast face, where the rosy light of love
seemed dawning into day, exclaimed with
renewed fervor:
‘And what are riches in comparison with
_vou-—with your love my treasure? Hence-
forth Iain pcnnilcss ifthat will please you.
I will endow hospitals, churches, universi-
tics, asylunis, poor-liotises, libraries. I will
do anything you wish.
E’eanor began to be nlartnrd. What ant
Ito do with hirri, she said to Ilt‘l‘S6lf—-\\llO-
evcl‘ heard of such an accommodating man .7
It is very vexaliuus! and then her conscience
l‘f:’pl'OilClllng her a little. and touched by the
ready generosity of her lover her eyes filled
with tears ofselfreproach; but a timely re-.
collection of his supercilious manner, on
their first acquaintance rt-stored her native
pride, and smiling through her tears, she
replied,
‘I thank your lordship for your preference
of mysvlfto so many more worthy of you in
rank and fortune; [appreciate your disin-
lerestedncss and grieve for your disappoint-
ment, but——
His eyes flashed impatiently.
Miss Howard?
I have made a vow never to unite with a
foreigner on any account whatever.
The Englisman sprung"'to his feet and left
the house in a rage. It was too bad—was it
not? His title. his wealth, his birth-place,
all of which would have been so many pass-
ports-to the favor of most young ladies in her
situation. where used positively as reasons
for declining his addresses! It was indeed too
bad.
But what,
CHAPTER IV.
The truth is. Elanor loved, devotcdly,
fondly, but in secret, a young Georgian, who
had appeared in New York about the same
time with Lord F . And to conceal this
love she assumed a gayety, a dainty and re-
fined coquetry of manner, which was intend-
ed to deceive. not only tlieobjectof her affec-
tion. but all the world beside. ,
Earnest Curtbbert was the only person, in
the circle of her acquaintance, who thor-
oughly understood and appreciated the noble
and proud-nature of our heroine. He read
her soul like a book-a rich and rare missal
which was lockedto all but him. _It was
the magic key of sympathy, which thus re-
vealed to him the lights and shadows, the
deep and mysterious harmony of her high
toned character. He loved her with all the
fervor and earnest enthusiasm ‘of a young
and passionate heart, and sometitnes he fan-
cied that she returped his love. He per-'

And now i lrs. Howard, driven to despera-
tion by‘.Elcanor’s refusal of Lord F , re-
newed her efforts with redoiiblt-d vigilance.

Half an 3 hour afterward, Eleanor, love,
entered lllfi‘ drawing room, in it plain whitt-i
robe of lilien-_c.imbi'ic, with her graceful hair
simply, 'tJlll'l0SL carelessly arranged, and
without a siigle ornauient. But she look:-d
so bewitchitgly beautiful, with the blush
coming no.7’ going on her cheek, arirl'the
half it-arfulsiriile in her eloquent eyes, that
her aunt“ could no‘. find it. in h--r heart to
scold. ’

ing! L-t me see what is the first line ? ‘My
heart is like a’-—
‘Elemor, dear,’ sportivcly drowned her
aunt’s iiimiory, and her voice too, in a
spirited waltz, and then began to sing the
cztycst and least sentimental song she could
think Of.
I see that you are dt-terininetl, said Culli-
bcrt. seeiiiingly, as he leaned over the instru-
t‘llt'lll. _ ’
Determint-d on what. Mr. Ctithberl?
To .malr-- me respect even more th:inI love
you. iflhzit can be! he whispt-red passion-
ately. forgetting, in the r-nlrancenicnt of the
riiohent and the charm of her pl't'St’l'lC", that
he had chosen a very awkward lime and
place for a d«5cla'ation.
lnvolunizirily Elanor raised her eyes, filled
with tears of blending sorrow and delight,
to his face; the next moment she smiled
bowed her head playfully, and finished the
song.
CHAPTER v.
What is the matter, Nelly. said her aunt,
the next morning as they Szil, togrihcr in the
library; vnu have neither smiled nor sting
to day! I do believe you are in love at last.
Eleanor had been sitting for half an hour,
with her graceful hand over her eyes, and
she dirl not remove it as she answered in a
low. faltering voice. '
Deartiunt, I am not quite well to day.
But Ilinmv by your voice you are crying
Nell. Tell me what troubles you.
-M r. Cuthburt, ma'am l said a servant,
opening the door! shall I show him in ? ,
‘I-‘Vs Jiohn, certainly: and. John. order
my_c;.,ii;ri:ig,re directly. "Can [do anything
for“‘yoti. Elr-auor ? I am going to shop.
Eleanor did not hear her. The carriage
cam:-, Mrs. Howard departed, and the lovers
were left alone. And now, my poor Elean-
or, noiv you must say ‘yes.’ There is no
chance of escape this time. You love him
anti lie warships you. Bea good child now,
and don’l make a fuss about it.
And E;-irnest told his love. with all the
r-loquencé of which be was master. There
was no rr*ply._, The hand was still over the
eyes that he wanted so much to look into.
and in trying to V\-‘lll'l(ll‘.iw it he discovered
that she was wet-ping.
Tears, Eleanor! and for me! Speak to
me dearest! Do not thus keep me in sus-
pense. Once more. will you be mine-.
‘No.’ .
Cuihbt-rt slartnd as if {I iliunrlerbolt had
fallen to his fcet—though her ‘voice was
scarcely audible. _
No. Eltanor, what does this int-‘an .7 Ifeel
that youlove me—
Eleautir sobbed passionalcly.
Are you l"f'S0lVt‘(I to deny me?
‘I am.,’ This time the tone was distinct
and firm‘.
'I‘hcn,l\'liss Howard. I must wish you a
very goqtl morning, and with a stately step
he left the room.
And tlfe proud maiden, pressing her hand
convtilsively on her heart, listened to his
rt-coding} footsteps and murmured, ‘Dear,
dear Ealricst! Thank God it is over!
Before Earnest had walked the length of

TIITP’ months went by and Eleanor How-

One evening, at a musical soiree, she was

Cettaiiily niece, of course if you wish;
but I must say that it is very strarige—very.
And the lady salied out of the room in a
stately pct.
For a uionieiit the young girl's embarrass-
ment and agitation overcame llr'l', and she
buried her fice in her hands; but recover-
lug herself, she turntd to Earnest and said
softly, ‘
Efll'nt‘SI do you love me still?
Love you, oh. hi.-uvt-nl too mtich——too
uiadly. But I am no longer worthy of your
acct.-ptairice. You have heard of my losses.
Miss Howard, why do you mock me thus?
Mock you, dear Earnest! said she, and
laying her band iimidly in his, with modest
fif'lllnt'SS continued,
Mr. Cuilib-.-rt, ever since we first mot l
have loved you. I refused your proposal
bi.-.cause—---nay, it does not ri=a‘ter why. But
noiv iflliis hand and the heart that must go
with it can consult» you for the loss, forgive
this ttnmaidt-nly boldness and--take them if
you will.
She hid her face on his shoulder. and
Eirncsl Cuihbert. \\'ll.l1’I]lS whole soul in
the embrace with which be held her to his
heart, bade Ht-iiven bless her for her truth.

‘Be quiet, sir, and hear me out! He was

Thoughtlt-ss and Walter ‘Vise were fellow
apprentices. Thougbiless gave into the
vice of drunkenness; Wise abstained from
it. Mark the conscquenée.
l. Physical sanction. For every dt-baticb‘
Thouglitless was rewarded by sickness in
the head. To recruit hin.sr~lf, he lay in bed
the next morning. and his whole frame be-
came enervalrd by relaxation; and when" he
returned to his work, it ceased to bc a source
of satisfaction to him.
W’-ulh-r Wise refused to accompany him
to the drinking table." His health had not
been originally strong. but it “as invigora-
led by It.‘nlpt‘Ttln(‘t'. Increasing strtngih of
body gave increasing zcst to every satisfac-
tion he rrijoyed; his rest at night was tran-
quil, his rising in the morning clieérful, his
labor pleasiirablc.
2 Social sanction. Timothy had a sis-
ter. deeply interested in his happiness. She
re-proved him at first, then neglected, then
abandoned him. She had been to him it
source of great plcasurc—it “us all swept
away.
Wu-lter had a brother who had shown in-
tlifleretice to him. That brother had watch-
ed over his conduct, and he began to show
an ,iui.-res: in his well being--the interest
increased from dry to day. At last he be-
came a constant visitor. and more than com-
mon friend, and dil ii thousand services for
his brother which no other man in the world
would liavedoni-.
3. Popular sanction. Timothy was a
member of a club which had money and
rt.-putution. He went thither one day in a
state of inebriety; be abused the Stcrelary
and was expelled by a uaariiiuous vote.
The I‘.¢’gl)l..il' habits of Walter had excited
the attention of his master. He said one
day to his biinkt~r——The young man is fitted
for it higher station. The bzinker bore it in
mind; and the first opportunity took him
into his service. He rose from one distinc-
tion to another; and was frequently consult-
ed on business of the bighcst importance by
men of wealth and IIIIIUPIJCC‘. -
4. Legal sanction. Tiiiioihy rushed out
from the club whence he had been so ignora-
inously expelled. He fnsulled a man in the
streets, and walked pr-nniless into the open
country. Reckless of every tliing,be robbed
the firsi traveler he nit-i; he was apprehend-
ed, prosecuted, and sentenced to transporta-
HOD.
Walter had been an oljcct of approbation
to his fellow citizens. He was called by
their good opinion, to the tiiagistracy. He
reached its highest honors; and even sat in
judgment on his fellow apprentice, whom
time and misery bad so changed that he
was not-recognized by him. .
5. Religious sanction. In prison, and in
the ship which cont-eycd 'l‘imothy. to Bota-
ny Bay, his mind was alarmed and afflicted
with the angry apprehensionof future pun-
ishmcnt—-an atigry and avenging Deity was
constantly present to his thoughts and every
day of his existence was embittered by the
dread of the Divine Being.
To Walter the conternplation ofthe future
was pear:--fol and ple:isui'able. He dwelt
with const.-nt delight. on the benign attributes
of the Deity, and the conviction was ever
present to him that it must be well. to the
virtuous. Great, indeed, was the balance of
pleasure which he drew from his existence,
and great was the sum of happiness to which
he gave birth.
TUE TALKING LVIACIIINE.
Having seen in one or two papers an ac.
count of this new invention we went with a‘
friend yesterday to see it. Mr. Faber the
artist, speaks only German, yet be has
taught his machine to speak English, and
speak it too.~beltt.-rthan German, And what
is still more curious, it gives some of our
difficult sounds I)f‘lIt‘I' than Mr. Faber him:
self can pronounce them, The ‘Lb,’ for in.
stance, which is the Rubicon in our lan-
guage toa German, it gives like a native
born American. Indeed we do not believe
the ‘Native American Party’ ilselfcould tell
the difference. On asking l\lr. Faber how
it came to pass his machine could speak bet-
ter English than German, he replied: ‘\Vhy
shouldn’t ii?-—it is American born.’ The
sounds issue from the lips ofa Mask that as
they open and shut. reveal a tongue that
plays like the living t'liCnil)€‘t',ll10Ugl'l not so
‘liinbcrly.’ It is really laughable to see this
bust placed upright who a turbaned head
and whiskered face slowly enunciating in a
whining lone, sounds which we have here-
tofore considered as belonging exclusively to
our species. It beats the parrot out and out.
It will go through our alphabet and numer-
als with great precision, arid say ‘three bun-
dred and thirty thrc-ethousarid three hundred
and thirty three’ as Fl German may despair
ofever saying. Ilspcaks with a decided tone‘
as if it had lost its palate; and with greatde-‘
liberation. If Mr. Faber himself could
speak English, we have no doubt his ‘wood-
en pppil would improve rapidly, and enunci-
aie uch more readily. Tue grave, solemn
countenance never changes, no matter how
funny the words may be‘... Uncivil. as it may
