Never, was cousiuly ottachment more beautifully illustrated. Or cous inly", jealousy less amiably exempli fied, than in the daily wulk and con versation of these two collateral kinsmen. They bestowed so much affection on their oommon relative, that they had none left to waste be tween themselves. " :-. Both were several years younger than the lady, with a fair prospect, according to the course of nature, of surviving her; and how to supplant eaoh other in her will, which she had at last begun to talk seriously of making, was the problem which at present engaged their attention. . v; i On the morning in question, when Cousin Roger called to wish Cousin Abigail the usual "many happy re turns, he Was not a little cnagnnea to find : Cousin Dick ; there before him. However, he presented his an nual gift, and went throtfgh his an nual speech without missing a word; and Beeing Tabby, the cousinly cat, perched snugly on his rival's knee, by way of : not being outdone in cousiniy attention, he took up Pom pey, . the. cousinly poodle, though dogs were his abomination. ; Well, Cousin Abigail, i nope vour health continues good," said Cousin Roger,- patting Pompey's head and glancing suspiciously at Cousin Dick, whom he devoutly wished at Jericho. Not bo crood latterly ns it has been.;. The fact is," the old lady continued, "1 have been thinking se riously of sendinff for Mr. Parker, with a view to settling my wonaiy affairs without demy. Oh. there is no need of haste, cousin," broke in Dick; "you have many years before you yet; men tally addins,, "What has possessed the old ninny to put it on so longf "Well. well. 1 suppose there s no hurry about it, said Cousin Abigail And yet, Cousin Roger ven tured. to hint, "it is always well to be prepared; none ot us can tell the minute or the hour, you Know. "And, after all, calling in a lawyer is not bo serious a matter aa calling in a doctor." said Cousin Dick, fa cetiously. ''' ' - ; The conversation wa interrupted by the entrance of a young and beautiful girl, at whom Cousin Dick stared with a surprised and troubled look. i "Pardon me, ma'am," she said, in a voice remarkably sweet and gentle; "not knowing you were engaged, I came to see if you wished me, as uaual, to read to you to-day." . ; "Presently, dear," Mrs. Varley answered, in a tone that plainly hinted ber visitors would not be pressed to stay if they offered to go. After an awnwara pause, tne two cousins took their departure together. Who is that mm inquired Roger, as soon as they had reached the street.' " ' You may well ask," said Cousin Dick; and, stooping, he- whispered something in his companion's ear, at which the latter started suddenly. Good heaven! the resemblance is certainly striking. But what is to be done"? Do you think the old Cousin Abigail, I mean, suspects anything?" ' - ' Wot vet. 1 tuiUK du no nine to le lost. I have a plan which it would be well for us to talk over together." And the two hurried rapiuiy along. Mrs. Valley had occasionally found time hang heavy on her hands, and so had advertised for . 0 person to till the post of "companion" to an as-ed lnxlv. It was thus that Hes ter Darling had become an inmate of the house. ' , .- - r ? At as early an hour as was seemly on I he morning following imti on which we introduced them to the reader. Roser and Dick again pre sented themselves beforetheircousin. "We' have thouttht it our duty. cousin becan Dick. "Oitr'liounden duty, pulinltoger. "As painiui ns 11 is imperative, Dick continued.,' r . , i: -" i "To put on your guard, ma am. Rocer added. ' ' ' ' . Afrainst a deceitful and designing person, exclaimed men. . - il.T, . Al . ..1,..1.1 Who IS no uetver ljuuu buo luutou bel" exclaimed Dick. ' "Upon my word, cousins, I do not comprehend a syllable yon have ut tered, said Airs. Yariey "nor suau I be likely to if you both keep talk ing at once. Come, Dick, you seem least excited. What is the meaning of all this?" . --. i "What means, may I venture to ask." said Dick, "did you take to as certain the character and antecedents of the youf woman at present shel tered b.:.-..vi.J your roof?" "Why, nooe.i' replied th good lady. "Her" joiing and beautiful face was recjmmeiniution enongh on which to (,'ive ber a trial.": , . "We have ascertained her to be a most abandoned creature," proceeded Dick, "and have deemed it proper at once to apprise you of the dis covery. Should she deny the accu sation, we are prepared with abund ant proofs." t - And the two cousins took their leave, with on r of exulted virtue. Mrs. Varley was a lady of the strictest propriety and severmt mor al. Much shs pitied the poor and frieti.licsif girl, "lie must be promptly free4 from this foul and dreadful charge, or cross li?r thresh old never to retain. Sbe went directly to Hester's cham ber. - - ----- - "Tou niuht tell me your post his tory, child," said Mrs. Varley, in a determined, but not unkindly, tone " Oh, madam, 1 pray you pardon me ; but I pon"t, eanuot tell it !" "Then it uu been one of shame and guilt '!". , r " for a iimo, ol ahame, madam. answered the young girl, with flushed cheek, " but never of gult." . What was it that caused Mrs. Var ley to start so suddenly,-and stagger t balf-fainting to a seat at .Hesters dressing-table? Who whose likeness is that she exclaimed, in a scarce articulate voice, pointing to an open miniature on the table. . - "My mother's," Hester answered. "Then you are Florence Marvin's child?" , 'That was, indeed, my mother's name. More, you are the daughter of my only brother, George Haywood, for Florence Marvin was his wife." With a stifled cry, she who had be lieved herself alone and friendless in the world, fell on her kinswoman's neck and wept tears of mingled glad ness and sorrow. Her story, which Hester had re fused to confide to a stranger's cars, She now willingly imparted to one from whom she felt she had no longer a right to withhold it. Jthat her brother had married in opposition to her father's wishes, and had been disinherited in conse quence, was already known to Abi gail Varley; but what distant spot he had selected for his home, and what had befallen him there, she had nev er learned. The story was sad enough : After a few toilsome, but not un happy, years for they were spent in the loved society of his wife and child a dire calamity had fallen up on George Haywood. He came un der suspicion of a fearful crime. A network of circumstances too intri cate for man's wit to disentangle en vironed him, and he was condemned to die. The stern judgment was carried into effect, and the executed murderer's despised widow sought concealment for herself a-nd child in a change of place and namo. Long; Ions years afterward, the truth was discovered; but the judicial murder was passed among things irrevoca ble.. The poor widow died at last died broken-hearted, but with one consolation she had lived to see her husband's innocence vindicated. "And this, my poor child, is the shame of which you spoke ?".i.. "My life has known no other," Not manv days after, Hester was sent to one of the first seminaries in the land, for she had yet timo enough to avail herself of opportunities of culture hitherto beyond her reach. Her aunt and ehe kept their own counseL Cousins Roger and Dick only knew- that -the object of their anlinihidn had disappeared, and probably congratulated themselves on the success of their virtuous stratagem. After a time, Mr. Parker, Mr: Abi gail's lawyer, was Bent for; and after that the good lady seemed, wonder fully revived in health and spirits. At her next birthday, the prospeot of many happy returns produced anything but a happy effect on the two expectant cousins, who began to think that, after all, the life tables were not infallible, . But her time cam at last,' and, within n decent period after the sad event, Cousins Roger and Dick were duly summoned to attend the reading of Abigail Vnr ley's will. ,' ... Ihey were a good aeai staruou m the sieht of their old enemy, the strange girl. Poor Tabby, as il seenmg conso lation in her bereavement, leaped upon the knee of her old friend Dick, who stroked hor back pathetically. but little nervously. ' Pompey.who took things more philosophically, stretched himself out for a suozo at the feet of Roger. Mr. Parker, drawing from his pocket the 'document, proceeded to read it. ne introduction was toug and formal. But, hark! there's something coming now. "To my cousin, Kicbard l iggins Richard looked at Roger in tri uinob. ' 1 givo and Dequeaiu Tou could have heard both their hearts beat. ' ' i ."In consideration-of the natural love and affection which I have long observed between them " Dick looked puzzled. "My favorite cat TaUy " Dick gave Tabby a furious stroke the wrong way. ; i. .u .i --'-- - "And no more of tny estate." With a fling that betokened a most emphatic renunciation of the legacy, Tabby was sent mewing and spitting to the farthest corner of the room- "To my cousin, Roger Hmith " It was Roger's time to triumph. "In consideration ol the nuturai love and affection " Roger began to feel suspiciousr gir and bequeath mu Uoy Pomjiey, and no more of my estate." With a violent kick, Poropey was spinning after the cat; and the fear of her who had so long kept the peace between them being no longer before their eyes, the pent-up enmity of years found vent in an uproarious fight, in the noise of which the voice of the old lawyer was almost drown ed; but the words, "rest and residue of my citftte niece, Hester Hay wood," were sufficiently audible, and Cousins Dick and Roger stayed to hear no more.

He was raised to industry and sobriety1, and was of good countenance and comely. At 19 years of age his pnr ents died, leaving him as father or protector to his four younger broth ers and sisters. . John had the misfor tune of fallinjij desperatelyjrr joyr with a very handsome, bewitching girl two years his junior ., She was of respectable connections' 'and well raised. But she discovered that she possessed a peculiar fascinating pow er over the sternor sex sometimes in modern parlance called male men. A half dozen: of . them - worshipped- at the shrine of her charms. - Poor John began. to ,. think that a chance for a wife in that direction was rather slim. He was a plain, outspoken, and can did young man. ' Of all the admirers of Miss Celia Stewart, she loved John the best. ' But alas for frail woman! She was much inclined to coquetting, which Is downright hypocrisy , and falsehood.; She would flirt with one, then with another; almost promise one, and then cast them all off. John's lova for the inconstant one be came unendurable. He finally Bought an opportunity and "disclosed - the state of his mind fully to Miss Celia, and, asked her whether she, would marry him or not. She mustered up all her affection, all her pretended in difference and told liira frankly tha); she nevert had, loved him, and wsb only seeing how .foolish he was in loving- her r' tmppbsiflg- that1 ehe would evTer marry1 hiral.".'With looks of utter despair he arose,, and in leaving the room, exclaimed : "Celia, you have" tampered with my warmest, deepest lOvo for ;you,. and,,,aAvo. al ways encouraged - it. i( Now yot de clare to mo what must seal my dobm. I can never love another wonian, and in sorrow and despair I shall spend my life, But think not that you will escape sorrow and wo, for what you have placed on me." He then yrerit to the city of S-r, and enlisted in the service of the TJ. S for three years. There was a recruit ing officer there' at, that ' time who was enlisting single men, able-bodied and stout for services at fort .Lara mie. In jnst three weeks they would be required to leave for their- desti nation. John took th-') proper bath andreoeived the' bounty money and wsb mustered into service.; He had a guardian appointed for his brother and sister; and was arraying bis' pwn offioerg for a three years absence. - When Mias Celis Stewart heard what had transpired in John's1 case, she at once wrote him a note beseech ing him to pay her a Visit.' 'He webt but could not imagine why she wish ed to see him. Indeed be would have preferred' not to see her itgairil ' Wheh he arrived where she was, sbo wept and shoied signs bf 'utter despair, This much surprised him.-' She then said : "Dearest ' Jdhri; let We throw off every affectaliori knd, reveal to you a heart whose enduring and fdithful love is yours only Forgive me for my ccnuotlry and iteming falsehood as I took that method, to. Iry -your love toward me. r Go to the recruiting officer and get a release,' or else pre-. vail on him to let; me, as your wife, accompany you to' Laramie. This astounding revelation from herj utter ly surprised, while it filled him with anguish at what he had done in a fit of despair . He , went to. the officer and implored him ta letliim off frofn his rash engagement, teJUrtf him mi' nutely tho whole affair '.with ' Bliss Stewart. But that old functionary was inexorable.' He told liira that if he released all who might have sweet hearts, loth to be separated, he should perhaps retain no soldiers at all. Afterwords Miss Celia went to him and wept, fainted and Implored him, stating that she could not live if sep arated from her dear lover.' But all was in vain. .. , " . ", :';',;, : The lovers vowed life-long fidelity to each other, and that, at the close of his sorvice they would be united in marriage.. .And with ad heart John Grant departed with fifteen comrades for Fort Laramie . In loss than three months, the almost heart broken Miss Celia Stewart Was play ing off her flirtations, smiles and co- quettry as before She rccched let ters regularly from John G., which breathed lovo and constancy.' She answered him in like sentiments, but her heart was false. The public look cd upon her s a henrtleks, falae and unworthy creature. AbouuJ.ix monlhs after G.'s 'departure, there came to S a dashing gentleman, finely dressed, and seemed wealthy, if hit when Buuueuiy uoiu ui uiuu, nu.o missing. ' They fled to Natchez where they promenaded a short 'time, and from thence to JJow Orleans for three months. Her lover then took her to a certain home in the city, and pre:, tended to engage board for her for two weeks, till he should anahge for, a home and a business housei in , the city. The fine ladjos of the house vied with eaoh other in their attention towards Mrs, L., as she was callcl.; From that time she savj her paramouf no more. . jae was a uiiw and had left his wife and two chil dren destitute , in Boston, -asoining away with all their means. ' 116, had changed his'' name! " the"' sequel of this tale is that Miss Stewart remain ed! a willing guest where she waa-r loet 'Id vii'tue, to choracier and to poor" John G.
