Indeed, since the death of his master, he began to look upon himself as one of the Corinthian pillars of the ancient house-in fact the only one to sustain the magnificent ruin. 'Cousin, you are aware we are destined for each other. Under these circumstances it is natural on our first interview to feel some embarrassment, but I beseech you to banish all restraint with me. Speak frankly, and act frankly.'

Yes sar. You are the only son of Marmaduke Singleton, who was the brother of my old master the colonel, peace to his remainders, who married a Howard of Howard Park in Virginny, whose mother was a Talbot, whose grandmother was a Calvert,'— Arthur had examined the pictures, with which the room was decorated, over and over again, with the eye of a connoisseur, not that he had a taste for the arts, but for the lack of something to do, when his fair cousin Mary entered her cheeks were flushed, and her : Stop, stop, Cato, why you are a living | manners somewhat embarrassed, as she said, record; and the genealogical tree, though ، A thousand pardons, cousin Arthur, for long since reduced to ashes, is still green in having made you wait!' your memory.

'Come, come, I am not that coxcomb to imagine that my merit on a first interview, could make as favorable an impression as your's has done. But to-morrow' To-morrow? Shall I discover all your merit in twenty-four-hours !' replied Mary, archly. ، Really, cousin, you must acknowledge the term is rather short for such a labor.' Not to an apt scholar, Mary, with a good preceptor. But there's a clause in the will which forbids my giving you longer time. To-morrow we must demand each other's answer, and I forewarn you that you will obtain no delay; for it would be dangerous for me to prolong my stay near you, when with a single word you can destroy all my hopes.' ، Pray be seated, and explain.' The will in question is one of the strangest acts that can be imagined, even.in an age resolved to be astonished at nothing. Our aunt has laid down two principles as incontestible truths; the first, that you are the most accomplished women on this side of the Atlantic, and that the possessor of your hand will be the happiest creature in christendom.' The jest pleases me. Pray go on.' On the first point I confess I am entirely of her opinion, but as to the second ، Well, well-why hesitate ? Let us hear the second.' Pardon my confusion-she pretends that I am exactly such a man as you are a woman.. 'It appears that she had not a bad opinion of the family,' replied Mary, laughing. ⚫O, she was a woman of discernment, coz, || came-but there is something!

Plain as noonday,' continued Arthur. We are absolutely formed for each other there is no escape for either, and in marrying we shall make a match of both convenience and inclination.' And have we but twenty-four-hours to make up our minds?' demanded Miss Singleton. That's all. The will is positive.' It appears, notwithstanding the perfection which our aunt supposed us to be possessed of, that she did not believe us capable of standing a very long examination.' She rather presumed an examination to be altogether unnecessary. But this is not all; she has taken other means to insure our union. She leaves all her fortune between us, in case we fulfil her wishes, but, on the contrary, should one be refused by the other' She leaves that one all, no doubt, as a consolation,' exclaimed Miss Singleton. ⚫ Cousin, I have agreat mind to make you rich What say you?' • Recover yourself, dear Isabel,' said Mary. I am distressed that my presence has 'He did.' 'O! how sweet his voice is! I remember that voice.' My presence, I fear, offends her; I had better retire.' Isabel turned to him, her face illuminated with smiles, exclaimed hurriedly 'O! no, no, no! Do not leave us. Stay stay.' She paused, and looked at him intently- Ah! I have it. Stay-Arthur.' You have not forgot my name, then?' I just this moment recollected it. Arthur!-Arthur!' she repeated, and laughed. 'Is it not strange I had forgotten it! When Make me rich! How ?-by rejecting I spoke of you to my sister, and said he,' he loved me much, he was very good to me, she always asked me what he? She could not understand me. Nevertheless it was very clear. He-that meant Arthur. And you have not forgotten my name, I hope ?' 'Dear Isabel !' Certainly. True, you will lose the most accomplished woman on this side the Atlantic; but then you will receive a handsome fortune, without the incumbrance of a wife.' Zounds! Have a care or you will ruin me,' exclaimed the young sailor. The better to insure the success of her plan, she makes that one her sole legatee who shall first refuse the other.' Right, that is my name. I knew you would not forget it. But years ago you used to call me your little Bell. We were children then. Still call me so, and I shall feel like a Ah! that alters the case. I cannot reject happy child again.' you on those terms, Arthur.' And she forbids all kind of collusion on the penalty of the estate passing to distant relations.' My gentle little Bell.' now The major domo of Singleton Hall, old Cato, now entered, and with many bows announced that Arthur's chamber was ready for him. That the room assigned to him was that in which Lafayette had slept the night after the battle of Brandywine, which would account for the furniture being somewhat antiquated, as, for the honor of the family, nothing had been changed since that memorable epoch. That's well, Cato, replied Arthur, a seaman is not difficult to please. Give him but sea room and a hammock' and he is satisfied.' 'Then sar,' continued Cato, there is a fine view of the river, the green meadows, and a garden of flowers under your window.' A fine view, and a garden of flowers! nothing more is wanting. I love flowers.' Farewell, sister. Good-by, Arthur,' exclaimed Isabel, gaily; and was about hurrying out of the room. 'Where are you going, child?' Isabel approached her sister, and said, with a mysterious air-' I will return presently; but do not betray me. Say nothing to any one. It is a secret. Good-by, Arthur.' She raised her finger to Mary, as if she would impose secrecy, and ran smiling out of the room. 'Where is she going in such haste?' Well, all goes right. The captain will carry the day. I was half afraid of that cotton spinning, Massa Jenkins; but O! these women! An officer's coat, with a handsome man in it, is a good excuse for changing her mind.' Arthur turned, and clapping the old philosopher on the shoulder, awakened him from his reverie, and said, 'That's it. The same gentle tone. It has rung in my ears since we parted. I always hear it at night, but never in the day time. But, Arthur-you see I do not forget—I have two names now; they have given me another since I last saw you, and a very terrible one it is. Whenever I go to the village the little children follow me, and point their fingers at me, crying the silly girl, there goes the silly 'Well, Cato, you have not shown me the girl.' My sister is very good to me-very-Lafayette chamber.' she always calls me Isabel; and you too, Pardon me, captain. I wait on you.

It is useless. I will see him again; I will.' Isabel entered the apartment with a hurried step. Her long auburn hair was straying in confusion, her gentle and lovely countenance was animated and suffused with blushes, and an unnatural wildness kindled in her deep blue eyes. Her sylph-like form would have served as a model for a poet when he peoples his ideal world with all that is delicate and beautiful, and her gentle mind might be lik ened to the æolian harp, that discourses most eloquent music when wooed by the summer breeze, but the first rude blast jars every string, and turns all the harmony to discord.

From the New-York Express. A Glimpse at Mount Vernon.* A CORRESPONDENT, who recently visited this interesting spot, has sent us a letter, from which we make the following extract: 'We had now reached the private road, leading to Mount Vernon. A servant boy met us at the gate and pointed out the house, which was as yet nearly half a mile in advance. As we entered the enclosure once owned by the beloved Washington, for one, I must confess all gaiety forsook me. Though nearly forty years had passed since the dead, whose grave we sought, was among the living, and although since then the old world, in nearly every division, had been revolutionized though Emperors, Kings, Dukes, and Presidents, had, with their generation, passed away, and millions of the great men of this world *Called Mount Vernon in honor of Admiral Vernon, with whom Washington's brother served in an expedition against the Spaniards.

The scenes passed rapidly before the eyes of Abuhassan. He saw Abdallah at the foot of the Caliph's throne: the words of wisdom flowed from his lips: he saw him elevated to the rank of chief vizier and governor of the young prince, the Caliph's son. But ambition rankled in the breast of Abdallah. He aimed at no less a prize than the throne itself. The young MISCELLANY. Resignation. E. B. In the city of Balsora lived the merchant Abuhassan. The blessing of Allah had rested upon him. He was constant in his attendance at the mosque; his hand was ever open to I felt an irresistible inclination to follow him farther, and note his success; and with pain, not unmixed with indignation, I saw him make a variety of attempts without gaining one solitary copper, one morsel of bread, one look of pity or commisseration.

With bitter feelings, I was preparing to do the same, when the latch was gently raised, and Emma came forth with a basket in her hand. She looked timidly around, and seeing no person nigh, in a moment she was at the side of the beggar, emptying the contents of her basket into a handkerchief, which she had knelt on the ground to spread. Never did she look so lovely as at that moment; she added to her gift a small coin, and was almost immediately in the sanctuary of her own dwelling, unseen, as she thought, by all the world.
