SOUTHWORTH, Author of “The Lost Heiress,” “ The Deserted Wife,-” “The Missing Bride,” “Retribution,” &c' ‘ , CHAPTER 1." A71. ‘Interrupted Wedding. It was the first of May, the marriage day of the Viscount Montressor of Mon- tressor ‘Castle, Dorsetshirc, and Estelle, only daughter and heiress of Sir Parke Morelle. Hyde ‘Hall, Devonshirc. A glorious morning ! the cloudless, blue sky smiled’ down upon the green hills and dewy dalcs and deep woods of Devon ; andthe park around the Hall songs of birds, and the merry laughter of young men and maidens gathering to cel- ebrate their May day festival, and to do honor to‘the= marriage of their landlord's daughter. ' _ The elm-shaded, winding avenue that led from the highway to the house, was arched at each terminus by a mammoth wreath of flowers, and many were the carriages that passed under them, on their way to assist at the wedding, and these contained only the bridesmaids, and the nearest friends and relatives of the family, whose relationship or position gave them the right to attend the bride to church,—for a still numerous party had been invited to meet her at the altar. The villagers and tenants, grouped about under the‘ shade of the great old trees, or wandering over the greensward on either side the avenue, watched those equipages as they rolled on, commenting as usual on such occasions. “ Oh-dear me ! the weddingers won’t pass till nearly twelve ! and here we are to wait two mortal hours !” said a young girl to the game-keeper. “Hush ! my darling look, here comes his Lordship’s cal-riage,'itself, just as sure as you’re the prettiest lass in the coun- try-” . . It was Lord Montressor’s carriage. Early that morning a. note from his af- fianced bride had been put in his ‘hands, summoning him to a private conference with her at the Hull, before they should proceed to the church. Surprised and S’ filled with vague uneasiness, his lordship lost no time in obeying the behest. Within the most secluded of her suite of richly furnished apartments at the old Hull, half-buried in the depths of ‘a cush- ioned chair, reclined the bride expectant, in bridal array. She wasalone, her attendants having, by herlown desire, withdrawn. , Estelle More1e—-or “ la belle Estelle,” “ Beautiful Stella,” “the Midnight Star,” —-—as for her respondent dark beauty, she was poetically named-—-was at thistime twenty-five years of age, and more lovely than a poet’s or an artist’s,ideal. Her form was of medium height, and very slender, though well-rounded, with a graceful head, over which fell rich masses of jet-black silken ringlets, shading aface of pure, pale, olive complexion withlarge mournful dark eyes, habitually veiled by the long drooping lashes, and delicate, though full, curved lips, ever patiently closed as in silent resignation. The pre- vailing expression of her dark brilliant countenance was a profound melancholy. The announcement of Miss Morelle’s approaching marriage with the Viscount Montressor had created a profound sen- sation in the fashionable and aristocratic circles. A peerless beauty, the only child and heiress of the oldest, wealthiest and haughtiest baronct in the west of England, her heart had been as much the object of aspiration to ‘the youthful and ardent, as her hand and fortune had been the end of desire to the mercenary and ambitious. At the early age of seven years, Es- telle had been placed at one of the first class female institutions of learning at Paris, then as now, considered among the very best of their kind in the world, and there had been left, to remain until her sixteenth year, when the sudden and ca- lamitous breaking up of the institution, and her own severe illness, hadoccasioued her removal. Tllat illness had been atten- ded with marked c/umges in the constitution and temperament of the young girl. Estelle, previously the most careless, lighthearted and capricious of children, left her chamber of ' convalescence a sub- dued, thoughtful, melancholy woman !— The laughing lips of girlhood closed in patient sadness ; the sparkling eyes sheathed their beams under ‘long, shad- owy lashes, now seldom lifted ; the silve- ry, elastic voice, sank jnto deep and thril- ling tones; the free, glad motions were measured and controlled. , She never entered another school, but completed her education, under the best masters, at home. To dissipate what was considered a transient melancholy, her parents traveled with her over Eu- rope, pausing at each capital and chief town, to show her all that was-interesting and instructive. But. though their daugh- ter. repaid their .a.t,teutious with the sweet- est gratitude, _and obeyed them with the gentlest docility, she showed no interest in the passing scenes. rywhere her extreme.._beauty and sweet- ness of disposition, not less than-her for- tune and position, drew around her many friends and admirers, Estelle remained alone in her isolated thoughts and feel- Every most distinguished physi- cian in Europe had been consulted upon her case, and the result of their wisdom was a decision that this melancholy was not the effect of ill health, still less of se- cret sorrow, but that it was a constitu- tiouol phase that would probably pass away with maturing years. _ They returned to England, presented their daughter at court, and introduced was all alive and musical," with the joyous » And though eve-. her into all the gaieties of fashionable life. But with no happy efi'ect; ‘upon the spirits of Estelle. who remained profound- -ly unmoved amid the eclat that greeted her debut. 'Hcr’pictur_esque beauty. was glance was fascinating-—her deep tones thrilling——hcr touch magnetic ; all felt her power, yet she who could move all others, remained unimpressed‘ She_ who sought no conquests, for that very reason perhaps, made many; Apeer and two commoners, in succession, laid their for- tunes at her feet, and were in turn kindly and firmly rejected. ' So passed her first season in London, at the close of which her parents" took her down to their seat in. Devonshire.-— tious manner, she engaged in works of benevolence among the villa crs and the tenantry. And .her father, oping much ty of action, and smiled to see that she seemed less pensive than before. At the beginning of the parliamentary’ term, the family went up to London. And it was here in her second season in town that Estelle formed the acquain- tance of Lord Montressor, ayouug no- bleman but lately acceded to his titles and estates, but already known as’ a man of the most high-toned moral and intel- lectual excellence, as a righteous, as well as a rising statesman, and as one, who in the event of a change of ministry, would be likely to fill a high ofiicial position in His majesty’s cabinet. Aside from the glare of rank and wealth and power, Charles Montressor was a. glorious speci- men of the Creator's workmauship.— Above the averuge standard of height. among his countrymen, broad-shouldered and deepchested, with anoble head, and a.'face full of wisdom and goodness, his appearance truly indicated the warm be- nevolence, clear intelligence, and pure spirit of the man. ' His presence soon inspird Estelle with a faith that she had not been able to feel In any other that approached her. He drew nearer to her than any other had been permitted to come ; he crossed the magic circle of her isolation, and couversed with her as no other had-been allowed to do. The world looked and said that the beautiful Stella had at last met her master and was con-_ quered. At this stage of afihirs, the parliamen- tary term being over, Sir Parke Morélle and his family left London for. Hyde Hall. Lord Montressor asked and received. permission to follow them, andin less than a month availed himself .of the priv- ilege to. do so. Thus it was in the home of her ancestors, after having obtained the cordial sanction of her parents, and believing himself sure of ' the affections of their daughter, Lord Montressor offeretl. his heart and hand to the lovely Estelle,- and was to his profound astonishment in- stantly and firmly rejected ! In thus re- jecting his suit she wept long aud.bitter- ly, praying his forgiveness, that the hop- pincss she had experienced and exhibited in his society should have betrayed him into making this declaration, and beseech- iug him never to-renew his suit ;.'but to leave and forget her. There was some- thing in the tone of her refusal which con- firmed aud deepened his previous convic- tion that—-even in rejecting him——s_he loved him ! _ But with his high-toned sen- timents he would not in the least degree presume upon that knowledge. Taking. said- “ Stella. ! a man never but once, in his whole existence, loves a woman as I love you ! I will not inquire the cause of the rejection, which you have certainly a right to make without assigning any rea- son for the act. And after having re- ceived this repulse, I may " not in honor distress you by 9. renewal of my suit.- But this, in parting, I must say to you—- that though I go hence, I shall not go out of the reach of your friends ; I shall never address another woman ; so if ever in the course of future weeks, or months, or years, however long, you may think proper to review the decision of this eve- ning, Stella, I implore you to let me know ! Write but one word, ‘Come,’ and I will return to lay an unchanged. heart at your feet !” Estelle was weeping too bitterly to re- ply. ‘ “ Stella ! will you promise to do this?” friend! do not seek to bind yourself to one who can give you nothing in return ! Try to think of the melancholy girl that you have pitied and loved—only as a shadow that fell for a moment across the sunshine of your path, and then passed away forever !——aud so forget her !” “Stella ! I have pledged my honor never to renew this suit, unless you re- versr in my favor the sentence you have pronounced upon it ; but inspired by the deep and deathless love I bear you, and ‘ hoping against hope,’ I feel impelled to implore before leaving you, that, in the event of a favorable change of sentiment or purpose towards me, you will not hes- itate to give me leave to return. Stella, will you promise me so muchas that?” “Noble.-it friend that I have in the world! how gladly would I promise, -but I must not, Montressor.

She had not long to wait. He who quickly responded to-her. slightest inclina- -tion, immediately obeyed her call. Yet when - she heard his firm elastic step approaching, “.Now God have mercy on me !” she prayed, and covered her face with her hands. _ He entered, unannounced, and saying, perceive, by your commands !” .

FARMERS & Mnonlnlos. ' Carrots as:I'ield Crop. We have frequently adverted to this crop in our past volums, and ‘with ‘every passing year of our experience -“with it, in thelield, and in the root bin, Two. are more fully. convinced that .-the -carrot‘ is the root of the American farm. 4 We are not certain but it will yet fill the place here which the turnip fillsriu England for stock feeding. The ‘turnip’ ‘SOIIIEIIIIJCI -does; admirably with us»,-but can.’nev'crbe so uniformly successful‘. in‘ our hot,‘ dry climate, ~ as under the. moist’ ' kies; -o‘f=Bri- tain. . The carrot can be plantedesrlicr, and get a good start before the Summer drouth comes on. The yield, , judging from ‘our experiments, is "fully equal to the yicldiof turnips under the same ,__treat- mept ;_ and the root is mo1;e_§hi‘g_li,ly.relish- ed by ‘stock, and, we think, _1'n,ore_, nutriti- tious. They "are admirably, adapted to feeding horses, and they keep, much. bet- ter iu therspring than turnips.,"_ We have frequently had them in good ‘condition for feeding as late as June.

The seed -should -be--put in with ‘a seed-sower, and we havcialweyl found it advantageous to drill _.manuro with the seed. For this _’purpose we have used a "good quality’ of dissolved, un- burned bones. The distance of the drills must depend somewhat upon‘ thelnode of culture you mean to pursue. V you rely upon the horse and cultivator, they should not be nearer than twenty inches. If you depend upon the scufile-hoe for removing weeds, as we do, they may be planted fourteen inches apart. CULTIVATION. This should commence as soon as the plants are up. Push the hoe as near to the rows as possible, cutting upall weeds and loosening the soil. When the plants are two or three inches high, thin out, leaving them from four to six inches apart. It is a common error to neglect weeding and thinning too long. The hoe should be kept busy during the Summer, and the whole strength of the soil go to the sup- port of the roots you mean to harvest. We have cultivated both the white Belgian and the yellow Altringham, and have not been able to discover the advan- tage claimed for the Belgian, that ityieldl a larger crop. It grows more out of the ground, but has never grown as large ~ II the Altringham with us,-and-r the quality is certainly inferior. We decidedly pre fer the long yellow carrot, and. this with a careful selection of seed for a series of years will give crops large enough‘ to sat- isfy an reasonable man. Do not fail to sow a piece of carrots the last of May. Am. Agricillturisf. 9 Roor Csors.—Are our readers fully sensible of the value of root crops? . Are they .mindful,_ just now, to have the ground well prepared for them, the seed well selected and properly-sowed? Po-\ tatoes will undoubtedly be planted in abundance, but there may be a. neglect of carrots, turnips, beets parsuips,.‘vege1e- ble oysters, &c. Remember ‘how value- ble many of these roots, are as .Wintcr fodder for horses and cattle. They may be kept quite fresh through the Winter, by burying them in heaps out of doors, or by standing them in the cellar, in sand.-— We prefer, however, to leave a portion of our parsneps and vegetable »_oys_,tera in the open ground till Spring; when newly dog from the garden,.they have. a freshness and sweetness which » those housed in the cellar do not possess. . Now is the time to sow the seeds ofall these crops, except turnips, which may profitably wait a few weeks. ,Sow:thick- ly, in drills, thinning out the plants as they grow, leaving them plenty of room to develop themselves on every side. No success need be expected unless the ground is made rich, and kept free from weeds throughout the Summer. ~No weed should be allowed to get more than an inch high; after that the labor of exter- minating them is almost doubled.
