« mothers, or the smillingl intimatioiis oi‘-

were the fcmale hearts that wished and-
prayed that they might receive the special-‘
attentions of Robert Ellison. Among the
most anxious-of these was Sarah Satin <
ders, the accomplished -daughter of a:
Wealthy gentleman who resided about
EVE miles from-Robert's ‘father. Miss‘
Saunders though not intimate in Mr. Elli-~
son’: «family, had often met with Robert
and his two sisters, Ann and Lucy, at par-
ties,-and in pleasure journeys to the city
and different parts of tliecountry. During
one of -these summer" excursions, Miss
Saunders, her mother and brother Albert-
were seated in their-rbcantiful carrizige,
and were reclining on its soft cushioned
side, while‘ ascending ii -long hill, when
they chanced‘ to look back and discovered-
about half a mile distant, Mr. Ellison’;
splendid coach, in which were seated
Robert, /its mother, and two sisters.
Said Albert Saunders to his mother:

“Indeed,” said, Sarah to Albert, “ you
are either in very good humor or power-
fully smitten with the charms of the Misses
Ellison.” " There may be truth in both
your remarks,” replied Albert: “ I am
certainly not much out of humor, and as
for the charms of Ann and Lucy Ellison,

In childhood he attended the

academy and colleges were the places
where Robert spent most of his tiuie in
the acquisition of knowledge. In the
multiplication of years there was a clear
developemcnt of the fact that Robert
Ellison was destined by nature to be a
man of no ordinary character. In beauty
and symmetry of person none surpassed
him ;' and his appearance and ‘manners

inn.”
- While Sarah delayed, Albert turnedhis
glance of hers,—but he would not spare
for be well understood how much forbear-
ance a sister possesses. “Come, come,
Sarah,” said he, “ why so reluctant to dis-
course upon a subject so familiar to your
thoughts; a subject which my sister has
so thoroughly and so anxiously (pardonl
me, Sarah ;” for a tear stood in her eye)
“ investigated I” g
“Why, Albert,” said Mrs. Saiinders,
who spoke now for the first time, since
Esquire Ellison’s coach appeared in sight,
“ how rude you are! How can you pre-
sume to afflict your sister in this manner,
and at this time 'l” .
“Forgive me, dear mother,” said Al-
bert; “l did not intend my remarks as ii
means of affliction to Sa_rah’s feelings; I
only designed them as an introduction to
a short, but interesting story which I have
been wishing to reliearse to» Sarah for
some time past, but have not found until
now what I considered a fit opportunity.
Say, Sarah, shall I proceed 1”
Miss Saunders attempted a reply to her
brother; but the interest of the moment,
and the conflicting emotions of her mind
foiled the effort ; and Albert was obliged
to read his sister’s reply in the blushes
which mounted her rosy cheeks, and the
clouded radiance of -lier sparkling eyes.
“ Well, now dear Sarah,” responded
Albert, “never mind my unceremonious
exposure ofyour special regard for Robert
Ellison, who, I perceive is just behind us;
when we return I will reveal to you 11 se-
cret, which, though it may be painful,
you will nevertheless like to know. Sarah
answered Albert with a sister’s smile, and
the conversation was -interrupted by a
hearty “ good morning, Mr. Saunders,”
from Robert Ellison,«_who had, by increas-
ing thelspeed of his horses, overtaken his
and intellectiial characteristics, Robert
possessed a sweetness of disposition and
inildness of temper which endeared him
to all his associates. The _philanthrop_v'
of his soul was bounded only by his
means, and he never was more joyous
than when he« was relieving the necessi-
ties, or increasing the happiness of his‘.
friends. Nor was he ioscnsible that his
was an enviable position in life. He was
a rich man’: son, and the corruscations
of fortune shed a radiiince over all his
future. prospects. And "yet his manly
breastwas an utter straiigerto the selfish,
arrogant and demoralizing emotions which
inflate the empty soul of ‘the dashing fop.
’ The reader need notbe reminded‘ that

wealth, and nobleness of character, were
