expressing a'hope that Kate might ;be hap-
pier in the future her father designedfor: her;
thair he could have made her, he:bo.tVed,.and-
left the house with a crushed-and embittered!
heart. ~- _ . . .. ._;‘J.'Ci?.
But however great ~might..-.he:.* Wal,terZs:
sorrow, it did notexceed that of Kategigrhen:
she learned her fathe.r’s unloo.ked f.or;_dei:is_-
ion i‘e_¢.zarding one toward~.w.ho‘mi.she...fe!t;so
much both of affection. and grati'tud‘e. .;But:
all her tears, and the . yet more touching’;
eloquence of her pale clreeksha-nd ‘faded
smiles were .unav-ailing, and it’ seemed~,as if
naught could shake Tryon’s.re'solution. -:,.-~
And yet the father’s heart was only less;
sad than those of the lovers. For Robert
Tryon loved his daughter too fondly to look
on her grief with indifference ; and itvvag
but the hopes of a proud future, when W§1l,<
ter I-]ume’s name should have lost all inter-
est for Kate, that enabled him to remain
stcadf-tist in his resolves. _ ,
Meanwhile he was occupied \vith_prepara- *
tions for anotherjourney into Kufirlaiid. At
length the day came for his departure. _
"- Let me see more rosy cheeks on myre-I
ttrrn, child,” he said, fondly, as he took leave
of her. "- Don’t you know I mean to make
my Kata a lady '2”
“ l have no wish to be a lady, father,”said
Kate, with a subdued smile; “if I can only
do my duty in the state to which I am called,
it will suffice for me.”
“ Tush, girl, you know not of what you
talk,” replit-.d Tryon, hastily; “ere long my
beautiful Kate will be rich‘and happy.” _
Kate sighed, as though she had no such
glailderiing drcains; but her father heard her
not—lie was i]ll't.‘l1(ly watching the departure
were far higher for her his bestboloved one;
and though he might not receive-other than
cordially the man" who had risked life to save
him from certain death, yet he looked with
a displeasetl eye on VValter’s evident" devo-
tion to Kate, and with a secret resolution
that not even the weight of the obligation
should induce him to sacrifice his daughter’s
welfare; rather, far rather, would he have
perished among the dark eddies of the river.
Absorbed in his ambitious dreams, Tryon
never thought of asking liimsclf whether the
true sacrifice to Kate might not consist in
giving up to whom, in the warmth of her
gratitude and the worthiness of its object,
her yotrng heart was becoming deeply attach-
ed. And when at length he suspected that. it
was so, his regret and niortification knew no
bounds ; yet he shrunk from wounding the
feelings of his child by any allusion to the
subject, and contented himself by resolving
that, even if redoubled efforts were required,
they should be made to hasten the hour when
he might be able to efliice from his daughter’s
mind the lt'i'lp_l‘t-_‘-SS which \Valtcr Hume had
made, by removing her to a sphere be con-
sidered more suited to her and her improving
fortunes. Again he began to repine that
wealth. was soslow of attainment, and again
he felt that he would willingly encounterany
toil,any trial, ay,oven any danger, to secure
to his cliililrci'r——especially his Kttte——i'icltcs
and considei'atioi'i.
With these feelings acting as a fresh incon-
tivc to exertion, 'I‘ryon .~tai-ted on another ex-
pedetion into I{'tfll'l2lll(l. He had gained thi-
territories ofthe cliicf Kuru, and was barter-
ing with him some sriufffor ivory; when, in
assured wealh would grace so. well. How,
as he wandered at evening beside the willows,
he would dream oft.he proudifuture that-
could his wishes he realized—-might be in
store for his promising sons and beautiful
daughters, in some higher spligre; and how
in years to come they might revisittheir fath-
erland, and look scornfully down on those
who in other days had despised h_imself!
Occupied with such visions, discontent
began to take possession of his heart. It
would be years-—many years-—-ere by his
farm he could hope to obtain such results;
and ere that his children's youth would be
passe'l—their lot in life decided, and riches
not so precious; and again he felt that he
could toil as never man had yet toiled, to be-
stow wealth on his children.
Ofthe many objects man pursues with
avidity gold is not the one that most
frequently eludes him, for there are many
modes by wiiich it might be obtained, and
one ofthese presented itself to 'I‘ryon.
He was riding with one of his nearest
neighbors into Graiiam’s Town, when on
their way they passed an extciisive and
beautiful farm, and on a rising grotrnd saw
a wcll-built house pecpirig from aniongst the
trees. Tryon commented upon the beauty
ofthe scent-.
“ its owner’s name is Brunt,” observed his
companion; “ some rweirty years ago he
was sent out by the parish.”
“ How did he inake his money '.-"’ demand-
ed 'I‘ryon almost brt-athlossly.
“ As a Kafir tratlei‘.”

secret whose discovery would prove their
owncr’s ruin; whose safe-keeping and suc-
cess he hoped would well-nigh complete, the
building up of his fortunes. lt might have
been that Tryon had withstood the tempta-
tion longer, nay, perhaps, even overcome it
iiltogctlicr, bad it not been for the attachment
of l-lumc, and his anxiety to remove Kate
from Willotv Dell, where of course her rec-
olli-ction of him would be strongest.
Thus the voice of ambition spoke loudly
within 'I‘t'you’s heart, overpowering all oth-
ers, and he no longer hesitated to avail him-
self ofthc opportunity fotrune cast in his path
——but at once applied himself to making
the necdful prcptriations for complying with
the wish of Kuru. ,
“ Oh, Kate, Kate,” he thought, as he rode
into Kafii'l-ainl after his wagons, whose chief
cont:-nts were contraband, “while you are
weakly mourning over your girlish disap-
pointment, you little know the risk your
father is running for your advantage; but
you will yet have cause to thank him for it.”

He stopped abruptly, and fixed his bright
dai'k,scarching eye on Ti‘yon,as though cagcr
to discover‘ ifliis rneaitiiig was undci'stootl,and
how the proposition was rccievcd.
The trader turned aside as if he hcaril it

suspected, and he resumed :

despite years of unwcarying effort, now stood
gazing on the SllOl't‘S of the fill‘ souih,a
world-worn and almost pcnniless man,and
and whose spirit was einbittcrcd, anti his
heart ll.'1l'Li(3.'ll"(l, by seeing others, whom be
deemed less worthy, victors in the arena
wlrere he could at-lieive i'iotl'iing.
While thus he stood pondering with con-
tracted brow on what might be the result of
this last decisive step of emigration, a sweet
childish voice by his side exclaimed,
“Let me see too, father.”
Iinnrediatcly the stern expression passed
away and with a bright smile he raised the
little girl to stand were she might easily look
over the bulwark. ’tobort Tryon was de-
votedly attached to his wife and family; and
the more the chilling blasts of adversity had
frozen his heart toward the \-.'orl;l, the more
did it gush forth in warm affection to those
stnroniiuiiig his own l‘iUll‘ll.)lt' and sornetimes
ill-supplied liresicle; and he felt that to see
them possessed of the comforts of life befit-
ting their station—more lrc asked not, wish-
cd not—would be a happiness that would, in
his estimation, render the labor of even a
galley-slave light.
But dcarcr than all was his little fairy
Kate, as fair and beautiful a child as the eye
need wish to rest upon, with soft,dark, earri-
est eyes, loooked forth frorri among her brown
clustering curls as though the misfortunes of
her parents had dispelled the joyous beams
of chiltthood, and awakened her already to
the realities of life, and a sweet smile play-
ing upon he rosy lips, as if in the buoyancy
of lit-r innot-ent spirit, hoping and trusting a
brighter future.
And the child’s trust sctzinod not misplaced,
for brighter‘ days soon began to dawn upon

The light was so dim, that when Tryon

he could not discern the state of the river so

“Do notattempt to cross ; it is dangerous !”

“ I am not afraid; I am used to the drift,”
replied Tryon.
“ But it is spring-'tide !”
Tryon looked again at the riv r; it was
certainly higher than was its wont, but not
sumciently so to alarm him who had crossed
it so often that he thought he know every
stone of the way; and, intimating as much
to the stranger, he spurred his horse in. But
his knowledge was less accurate, or the tide
was stronger than be deemed ; for scarce had
he reached the middle ofthe stream, when
the good steed lost his footing, and both horse
and rider were borne down among the eddies
of the impetuous current toward the sea,

breaking in giant surges on its rocky bar.

his children would no longer be buried on a
frontier farm, and his daughter would go

But he shrunk from the means by which all
these objects, which he had so much at heart,
must be obtained—for, by carrying pO\V(lt-‘:l'
and arms across the border——save for Self-
dofcnsc-——l‘ie would infringe the laws of the
laml wherein he had prospei‘v:d far more than
he had ever hoped when he landed on its
shores. Tryon had been eager in his pursuit
of riches; he had bought. cheap and sold
dear, and he had exacted from every one to
the uttermost; butlic had broken no law
save that of leniency, and now he shrunk
from doing so, and bade the temptation stand
offfrom him ; but it would not. The spirit
of Gain, that he had so long clrcrislieil, en-
tered into this iiew form, and haunted him
day and night, lillctl his waking thoughts,
and slredtling ii golden litre over his slumber-
ing visions.
When Tryon next entered his home at
Willow Dell, the first object that preseiited
itself was the smiling, happy face of Kate,
the next the almost dctcsted one of him who
had drawn him from the depths of the Fish
River. it required little penetration to per-
ceive that \«V-alter Hume was now the dc-
c.larei.l lover of Kate; and as soon as might
be Walter confirined Ti‘yon’s suspicious by
entrcating his sanction to the already given
con.~:i.~i'it of Kate.
The father was silent for a few moments.
But it was only to consider how he might
best twp;-cl; the man to whom he owetl so
riiuch, and what effect that iejet-tion vould
have on the lrappiness of Kate; but on this
latter‘ point he soon satisfied himself that
once ri-mov»:d to the other sccncs, this ill-
placed (for so he considered it) prcpossession
would soon pass away, and Kate be a far
happier and more prosperous woman than if
he had yielded to what he knew were her
present feelings. Then, rising from his seat,
he turned to the anxious suitor, and spoke
kindly and firmly:
“I owe you iuuch, Hume, very much,
even a life,aird believe me I do not underrate
the service, nor the risk at which it was ren-
dered; and had you asked me almost any
other gift, it had been given with pleasure;

“and if you will trust her to me, it shall be
the study of my whole life that she never
repents the gift.”
“ Her heart l” said Tryon , lightly. “ Pooh!
she is scarce ofan age to know she has one.
But I have other hopes for her,” he continu-
ed, “higher hopes—far higher ;” and the
once povei'l_v-stricken man drew himself up
proudly, as he thought on the wealth his
children would possess.

Hume felt that those words and that man-
Tlic speculation turned out even better
than Tryon liad ventured to hope. . The
giziis and powder‘ arrived unsuspected at tho
krall of Kiiru, and in the joy of his heart at
olnaiiiing such treasures, the chief waslibernl
beyond what the trader had anticipated. The
finest ivory and the most valuable skins

Tryon depaiterl from the kraal a far richer

“ Oh, Robert Tryon, Robert Tryon l” he
inuruiurcd, as be mounted his horse, “ you
are now a happy and an enviable man, for
you have livcrl to gain all your ends l” and
in his exultation he rocked not to obtain
them he had offended against the law, and
placed deadly weapons in the hands of sav-
dgE‘S.
In the same spirit of self-gratulation be en-
tered his home. There the sight of Kat.e’s
dark mournful eyes,checked his gladness for
a inomr_:nt.; but he rallied quickly,and gaily'
i'eproaclred her with being so sad when there
was such cause for rcjoicing, and then he
told lil('lTl that his journey had been most
successful, without confiding more.
“ The greatest blessing in life, father, is
happiness, and that we may enjoy without
riches,” said Kate, sadly. Poor girl! she felt
that but for this vaunted wealth, the current
of her love had been allowed to flow on un-
clieclted.
How, then, could she rejoice in the an-
nouncement that gave such pleasure to all
the rest?’ Gold might gild their lot, but it
had cast a chill upon hers, and blighted it;
and while they surveyed with pleasure the
transfer of the rich fading of the wagons to
the house, Kate Tryon wept bitterly in her
little chamber, with the sound of light laugh-
ter from without ringing in her ears. They
laughed, and she wept-——and both from the
same cause.
And now Tryon had resolved on relin-
quishing the trade by which he had reaped
so rich a harvest, and removing himself and
family to some place where their former
humble station would be unknown; but ere
that could he doire, he nrust dispose of the
immense quantity of Kafir produce in his
house; and with that view he again left
\Villow Dell for Grahatn’s Town.
He was on his return, and again he was
proud-hearted and glad, as he was wont to
be of late, for again he had prospered in his
dealings. How different he was from the

and as he rode along his thoughts‘ wandered
afar into the future. where he saw no harder
toil awaiting his children than to gather
flowers in the world’s bright sunshine, and
the fairest were gathered by his Kate, his
beautiful and then his joyous one. Atlength
he started. Absorbed in those bright visions,»
he had not heeded whither he went,-and had
strayed far from the right road. Farther on,-
bowever, was a path that ledfrom another
direction to Willow Dell.
