‘‘ You misunderstand me,” replied Miss
Clifford, coloring deeply. "I do not mean
to say anything against her character. I
meantto tell you that site lakes in work I”
“ And is this all 1?” enquired Edward,laugh-
ing, and looking very much relieved to
find that the lovely girl whose part he
"had been advocatingivas still good and wor-
thy, “I esteem her more for her noble ef-
forts to support herself and‘ family. is this
all Z”
A "‘ All !” repeated Miss Cliflbrd in a proud
tone, and with an air of incffable contempt.
She then haughtily added-—“ We will speak
upon a pleasanier theme, Mr Custis. I am
not in the habit of thinking upon such low
persons, much less inviting them to my
fashionable parties l”
“Caroline,” said 'her aunt when they
were alone, “ you will offend him by
this imprudence. Don’t let him see your
feelings. Keep them down andhold a rein
on your spirits till you get married. Afi.er-
wards, you may cast them loose upon the
mane. You will lose him if you don’t
be cautious, for he is a young man who
has plain, practical views of things !”
“ Do you think he was really in earn est?
Do you believe he would like to have me
invtte the Brandons '2”
“ He seems to be wholly indifferent to the
distinctions of fashionable life! 1 should
not be surprised if he should like them invi-
ted!”
“Then he must have seen Alice Bran-
don l” cried Miss Clifford, her brow darken-
ing with feelings that she could hardly ana-
lyze herself. She experienced all at once
emotions of the deadliest hostility to the
humble and loving sewing girl ; and while
she felt it, her pride was stung that she could
condescend to feel at all in reference to one,
to use the language of her own thoughts so
much beneath her 1”
The evening of the party Edward quilted
the gaiety, splendor and hollow happyness
of the close festive rooms, to breathe the
fresh air of the calin, starrv night. His
heart was not in unison with thefestive mirth
within. Caroline Clifford was indeed there!
She who had thrown about his senses the
chains of a bewildering enchantress, was
present, the queen of beauty and the cyno-
sure of all eyes.
But Edward did not gaze upon her with
the fascinated eyes of yerterday. He had
discovered that her beauty concealed a proud
selfish, unfeeling heart! He had detected
beneath.the smiles of an angel the most
finished duplicity. Not only by means of
his conversation about Alice Brandon, had
he gained this knowledge, but in many
other ways. it had gradually been open-
ing upon him, and slowly enlightening
his soul like the progressive growing of
the dawn. Reflection, combining, analy-
zing and comparing what he discoveretl In
her, led him wholly to reverse his opin-
ions of her. He saw through her and des-
pised heartily the character which was re-
vealed through her assumed one. He had
tried her as soon as he began to suspect
her goodness,'and in every trial and test she
fell! Had shekiiown she was undergoing
judgment before her lover, she would have
been on her guard. But she did not suspect
it, and so he proved in his own eyes her
charity to be ostentatious; her amiability,
hypocrisy ; her artlessness, art.
It was a sad conviction for him to come to
but it was irresisliblel He kept from her
his discovery, and outwardly extended to-
wards her courtesy and kindness. Yet
her quick eye and sensitive love detected and
felt the coldness: for where there is no
warmth in the eye-warmth from the
hesrt— it will look coldly l _
She saw the change in his manner at the
hall. She was wretched in all the glory of
her beauty. At length she missed him from
the rooms.
He was weary of the mockery of hap-
piness there, and tired of assuming that
tenderness towards his cousin that he did
not feel. He assumed it only for the eve-
ning, for if he treated her as he felt, she
would have left the rooms and broken up
the party, perhaps with a scene ! To
avoid this, be resolved to let the evening
pass off';bitt the next day he resolved to take
his departure. As he had not yet offered his
hand to Miss Clifford, he felt he had pcrfcct
liberty to leave without any explanation.—
Indeed, he hardly knew how to give any
withoyt unfolding to her in detail the dark
t:atures of her own character as discov-
ered by him.
He walked down the avenue, his thoughts
dwelling upon this subject. He opened the
gate and passed along the walk, which was a
broad and smooth gravel promenade, all the
way into°the town. —,He was walking on
hardly conscious of having passed out of
the gate,and wrapped in his painful thoughts
when he saw half a dozen females standing
together looking towards the brilliantly illu-
minated windows of the hall, watching. the
dancers and listening to the swelling waves
of music. » ‘
I-Ie merely glanced up at them and passed
slowly on. In a few steps he came to two
others. They moved quickly aside on per-
ceiving him, as if to escape observation.-
But they did not retire so soon, but that Ed-
ward dctected the sweet face and sylph like
figure of Alice Brandon. The glare of
light from the scene of festivity was sufiicient
ly strong for him distinctly to see and recog-
nize her. Leanirig upon her arm was alady
of maturer years. Edward conceived that it
must be her mother. Obeying sotne uncon-
trollable impulse,he approached them as they
were hurrying away, and said in a polite
ne—-
“Miss Brandon, lbelieve !”
Both ladies stopped for an instant, and Al-
ice Brandon bowed and slightly smiled, as
she said, apologetically :
“My mother thought she would walk out
a little way, it is so pleasant, and we have
been stopping to listen to the music for afeiv
moments.”
“She then moved on with her mother.
“Mrs. Brandon, you probably do not rec-
ollect me,” said Edward walking by the side
of the still fine-looking widow; “I am the
Edivard Custis who was here when a lad,
and lived with Madame Powell.”
“I remember you, sir,” answered Mrs.
Brandon with the gentle dignity becom-
ing a widow with a fair blushing daugh-
ter upon her arm ; “ I have seen you pass the
‘house, and Alice told me who you were.”
Indeed then I am so happy to have been
known to you,‘ Miss Brandon l” said Edward,
feeling at heart flattered that she should have
thought so much of him as to find out who
he was, though but once they had met.
“ I saw your name, sir, written -upon the
letter which I picked up,”- answered Alice,
without lifting her eye.
“ Yes, that is true. Let that letter be
one of introduction between us, Miss Bran-A
don,” he said, with a sincerityof tone, and
an air of frankness that causedher to look
up into his face, and then drop her eyes,
while the most pleasing and sweetest! emo-
tions that ever fluttered in a maiden’s heart,
filled her own. ' _
He walked on with them slowly, and in
agreeable" conversation, until_ they reached
the gate. —Here he hoped, in his soul ofsouls,
that the widow would enter, and that Alice
would linger, and let him coriverse with her
alone; for he felt that, disguise the truth
from himself as he had lost his heart to the
10,.-ely sewing girl‘, having only lost his sen-
ccs to Caroline Clifford.
“ Will you walk in, Mr. Cuslis?” said
the widow, with hospitality.
“‘ Thank you ; perhaps you would be so
obliging as to permit Allice to walk with
mea little further, if she will herself con-
sent!”
“You are very kind, Mr. Custis.” ans-
wered Mrs. Brandon, with a little embar-
rassrnent. “ Alice is a sewing girl only,
and her fair fairie is all that she possesses.
To be seen with you, a young gentleman
of fortune, who is also reported to be en-
gaged to Miss Clifford, would make fuel
for idle gossip, and perlraps Alice might
be the sufferer. 1 know, Mr. Custis‘ that
you are a person of too good character for
me to fear you; and you are too sensible to
take offence at what I have said!”
“ On the contrary, dear Mrs. Brandon, I
respect your solicitude for your daughter,
and commend you for your inotlierly care
over her? You have done right to speak as
you have!”
“ I am glad you feel so Mr. Custis. We
should be very happy to have you walk in.”
“ l will go in and stay a few moments with
pleasure. I am quite fatigued with the
noise and crowd in the ball. A quiet con-
versation with you here will refresh me I
wish to hear the history of your family, and
of the doctor's death ”
ln a few minuts Edward was seated in
the neat little parlor, feeling perfectly at
home ivitli his new friends If he thought
Alice beautiful in the street, he now thought
her almost a seraph in loveliness and wis-
dom. How the evening passed lie hardly
knew, save that it was the happiest of his
life hitherto.
house. The sweet “good night” of Alice
was echoing in the deep wells of his heart
like music, when he reached the mansion
He had been absent two hours. l\‘laiiy of
the guests were gone, and others were leav-
ing. He entered the rooms with the care-
less air of one who was not conscious of
having strayed. Miss Clifford saw him,
and althugli she was engaged in receiving
the parting courtesies of her retiring guests,
she broke from the side of her aunt, and
with looks pale and flushed by turirs, and
much excited, she came up to him:
“ I am glad to see you, sir truant! I
feared some accident had befallen you!”
Edward pitted her as he gazed on lier.
He knew how false she was, and felt for her
as a generous man would. He could not
help contrasting her with the gentle, pure
hearted, artless sewing girl. ‘It was with
difficulty he could answer her civilly. He
made some reply in a cold tone, he hardly
knew what! She started at him wildly,an(l
then bursting into tears, rushed from the
drawing-room.
The next day Edward left the mansion
to return to Pliiladelpl‘.-ia. He took leave
only of his aunt, having previously address-
ed a note to Miss Clili'ord, in Wlilcll, in as
delicate a manner as possible, he made
known to her that he had decided to with-
draw himself forever from her preasence!
This decision, in substance, he also made
known to M-adarrre Powell.
“ What reason do you give 9” demanded
the surprised and grieved lady.
“ Incompatabilily of characters. I was
pleased, and enchanted with Miss Clifford,
and believed she would make me a good
wife. But lliave studied her character. 1
know my own ; and there is no cornrriorr
ground ofunion. Tell Caroline I shall al-
ways think of her with kind regard!”
“ This is a strange freak, sir!”
“ It may be so. I cannot think of mar-
rying Miss Clifford!”
“ Your father will be angry and pained,
sir!” answered the lady, trembling with dis-
dirappointment and rage.
“I must risk his displeasure. Good nior-
ning, Madanie. Give my final adieus to
Miss Clifford !”
To describe the griefand wild despair of
Caroline Clifford, at this result, would be
impossible. lf she had not loved him, her
wounded feelings and disappointed ambition
would have found shelter in her pride. But
she passionately loved, and this desertion
overwhelined her. She was angry with
herselftoo, for she saw that he had seen
through her character, from her want of
watchfulness and art. Slie saiv now how
he had drawn her out, and how she had be-
trayed herself unwittingly to his inquisitorial
penetration.
On his way past the humble abode ofl‘.‘lrs.
Brandon, he sloped and went in. He was
absent an hour, which was strange, as Alice
was not at home, being out that day sewing
for hire. The widow catne to the door, and
as she took leave of him, her face wore
a look of calm joy. He pressed her hand
respectfully to his lips, and left for the ion.
The week following it was known through-
out the town that the widow Brandon had
moved to Philadelphia, where, it was said,
Alice was to have a place in a school.
The rumor was not, however, quite exact.
lnstead ofkeeping school, Alice was placed
in a schoo1——the first school for young
ladies in the city.
A year passed, and Caroline Cliflord had
recovered, in some degree, from her disap-
pointment. She was solaced by hearing
that her recreant lover Was still unwedded
and unengaged.
Another half year passed. Miss Clifford
resolved to go to the city and live. Her
aunt yielded.—-Caroline had heard that Ed-
ward still remained single, and she was sei-
zed with the hope that he had repented, and
might be recovered ifshe was on the ground.
The morning she was to leave, the last
Saturday Courier was handed to her fresh
from the ofIice.—-She opened it and looked,
as had been be." custom since Edward ran
away from her, to the Hymeneal heading.
She read, shrieked ! and fell senselese to
the floor. Her eye had caught and corn-
prehended the following:—-

‘P. T. BARNUr\l, Pl'tE‘SltlC’lll.
VVM. S. Pourzitoir, Secretary.
Anal/Lei‘ ]3rr.r7r Bi/,rn/..—About half past
ll o'clock, on Tliursday riiglrt, the barn
belonging to Sam’l C. and Ira S. Dibble,‘ in
Division street, was discovered on hre, and
in a brief space of time was reduced to ashes
together with its contents, chiefly rye and
oats in the sheaf-—tlte whole valued at from
$350 to $5400. The barn stood remote from
any other building, the door of which was
always locked, and as the tire was undoubt-
edly coinrriunicated by a match, it must
been from the outside. The hour of the
fire, and the circurrrstances attending it,
show conclusively that it was the resultof

Dysprlrszrt rtml its Cui'c.—-Various systems
have been adopted to trace the sympioms,and,
if possible,:isc-ertain the causes which produce
ilie lIllJll.'lftll‘l0l1S forms of dyspepsia. Scien-
tific men have a field which widens at ‘every
step of examination into the different phases
of this peculiar complaint, and although in
somccases the remedy necessary seems simple
and certain to produce a good effect, the rriost
consurnate skill is put in requisition with no
avail. The vast amount of impaired diges-
tion would almost warrant the establishment
of a college of medicine for the exclusive
study ofthis complication ofdiseases.
\Ve believe the public are more indebted
to the discovery ofthc O.x‘yge-nated Bitters by
Dr. Green of Vlfindsor, Vt, than all other dis-
cove-ries in mcdicalscience for a remedy which
acts directly upon the organs of 'dig.es_t‘ioni,
and seldom fitlls to impart tone and vigor to
the whole system frof. H'rays,. who knows
the formula ofthis medicine,.sa-ys, “the com‘-
pound seems to have resulted from.e-xteudeff
observation in medical practice," and of the
irigrcdicnts, “there are rendered pcrni:-.nen_t'

tention to it, after a fair trial of the medicine;
