“But, my dear sir,” replied Clinton,“ I
am not quite so much of a stiii'ii§;er to Miss
Ilvlaryos you intzigiiie. I may as well tell
you the whole story,” and he laughed a
laugh which was meant to be nearly. “ You
know most. of my history, Mr. Gray; as I
told you, in our walk over from the Bridg'eI
after my fatherjs death, I was sent to New
York, learn the niercaiitile business.-

“ No, Clinton,” said he, “I iiius: go t_o__ the
army atI_a,ny rate—-one gf us ought to remain
here; you can do so, and can serve the cause
as well, probably better, than Isball.” At

Mary Gray was certainly beautiful, but as
that word ‘beautiful’ conveys as many dis-
tinét ideas as there are minds to which it
may be presented; we shall refrain trqiiiaiiy
dc-Zscription of her appearance. She alight
have seen nineteen or twenty summers, and
no one wIliI9_IloIoked at her could wonder that
in the ililtiinacy which had subsistcd between
Ii‘c- and pool‘ Barton, the latter had lost his
heart irretrieviibly. As she came into the
apartment, and obseived the presence ‘of
Clinton, her face wore an expression of ‘sur;
prise, rather anything else, and advan-
t‘.lng'_I()\Val‘(lS iiiiii as he rose from his chair,
she ‘quietly saidé
“ This is an iiiieitpectetl pleasure, Mr.
Clinton,’ IsI_houIlIllI have supposed that IyIouIiI
niiinc-salire, Sir I-lea ry, would have kept you
in the city, at this juncture."
“ My namesake,” replied Clinton, gallant-
ly, “would hardly be able to prevent my
escape from New York, after I had once
seen you, Miss Gray. But I owe the good

so that when, this morning, Mr. Gray
pointed out to me at the Bridge, I at once
v_enIInred to accost him, and you see the"
result.” I
“The son of my father’s friend,” replied
the young lady, with _inaIrked,ei'ipres§.ion', ,“ is
most weleonie to my father’: liousej but you
will excuse me for the preseiit—our country
di'n_iierhoIur is at band, and the _liousekeeper’s
duties devolve liijon ‘me. You dine with us’,
of course, Mr. Clinton.” I I

should be fed too, sir; I will give directions
to have it done.” II I
“By no means,” said the other, “ [must
leave for Wilton as soon as dinner is ove,r_.,
though I shall try to see you again before I
return to New York ” I
“ Do so, do so,” responded Mr. Gray hear-
Iily. I am sorry to have you quit us so soon,
but I will not urge you to delay your visit to
your old lipinestead,as ,y_'IouIcallell it. Upon
your way back I shall i‘io,ii3'e to see more of
you.” _ I
Clinton made a suitable reply,Iand the
con,v,iI3rsati0n turned upon the ordinary topics
of the day. ’ I
The dinner passed Ins Isiich occasions ordi'

Gray and his daughter with Itlieir guest, A

lz3_dy. The meal being over, Clinton, plead
ing paste, took his leave, and,’mounting his
horse, departed.
After a ii'ile_ ofsouie nine or ten miles, the,
latter half of which had been in the township
of Wilton‘, the youiig man stopped in trout
of ii dilapidated building which stood at
some little distance from the IrIoa_d 'siIde,,, _A
\VOl'lTl‘_t?i,li(§I‘t_ rail fepc-e intervened‘ between
the highway and tile neglected ya_rdIIil_i front
