an expensive’ showy style; aud John was clerk in a
bank, with a very handsome salary, wbioh never
sujfticecl fur hm want*. He had told Anna that his
father would start them in house keeping when the
time cam#, and that would be soon euouge to pi ac
tive economy. Notwithstanding the Intended con

w#u!d lirtve liked to be more friendly, but she
coiildnot acoommodate hertelf to‘Hie manners and
of John'h relatives. His mother had an in.
satiable taste for gay society and groat people ; and
hoi life was made a toil of a pleasure in the pursuit
of* high acquaintance, who despised while they
made use of ler. His sisters Were both handsome,
‘lively, and accomplished girls, without an idea be
yojin present atrmseireni They thought John was
quite throwing himself aw%y, and were not careful
to conceal this feeling from Anna, who whs pro*
fouudiy hurt by it. The engagement had been
formed when she was only eighteen, on a slight in
timacy contracted at Mrs. Driver's Christinas par
tfes, to which she war invited because her piano
forte -play mg was useful, but as Mr. Hrooke aud
uncle Ambrose disapproved of it altogether and
(lie Hartwells were far from cordial, its fulfilment
was by general consent deferred for three years;
everybody but the two young people themselves
.hoping t hat indhe long interval they would change
thenminds j> V
• -itup lull -two years hud now elapsed, and Anna
Mill *r;;arded John as the handpomeot, gayest,
kindest, noblest creature iu the whole* unniverse.—
Her love for him was an enthusiasm, a .and her esti
•nate of his merits a complete delusion ;'aod be
tweebber delusion and her enthusiasm, sbegenerally
c u!rived to be very luq>pv, as most ot us are while
those pieaseut things stayoefore us; indeed, pertna
ticnce is afi thOTr to make life Paradise.
She was fui! halt an hour la’e when she arrived
at Mrs Drivef*B nondescript villa at Hampstead;
chrerful enough, though She had ran over id ber
uiind all the plaiu facts above recorded, because
her luipe was ©f a very tenacious natuie, and her
faifli in tJohu so perfect that, uotaitbstandiug
adverse signs, she cimee to think that all was run
umg mw'oUi with her love, and that the fault of
her sometimes uneasy heart lay entirely in hertiwn
weakness.
Mrs. Driver, however, put a speedy ebd. to her
vifcotte by sweeping down upon her tike a whirl
wind the moment she entered the schoolroom, with
a frown on her brow and -reproof on her tiuent
lq f. “Late again. Miss Brooke, look at the clock,”
saul she. p(.*inlmg to the time-piece ou the mautle
skelf.
1: was leu uiMaad of half past nine, and Anna
naturally supposed it must be forward ; but Mrs.
Driver, who was never convicted of a mistake iu
Lpr life, and kept everythiug iu tier house, clocks
not excepted, unlerthe m*-st rigid discipline, drew
from ber pocket a large chronometer, and bade
Auna look at that, for it was never wrong. Anna
i ©nsuited her own irregular little French watch be
forfe she would be convinced, aud then she blushed
an apology.
In the evening, as was generally the case when
Anna was in. haste to gel home, her pupils kept, her
answering a hundred trivial questions, aud then, as
it was so late, insisted upon her making tea for
them in the schoolroom, and having some herself
bftomthey would let her go. When she was at last
re eased, i’r was growing du?k. and the fields had

wor a young man full cf health and strength,
John Hartwell carried a very haggard eounten
anue, ue he returned over the tresb deids, gnawing
his restless lip—it must, have been a heavy debt
iddeed to he such a nightmare on his spirits ; lor it',
sent him to tjs desk that morning as uneasy as
ever that man could be who, having pledged his
soul to the devil, sat waring in mieeary until the
bond was/o; felted As for Anna, she was disturbed,
but hapy ; for the diet thing that a woman re
quires from the man she lovch is that lie should
love her ; aud of this she considered John had given
great ami undeniable proof by his proposition that
she-should deceive every body trust herself entirely
to him, and go off secretly to America. And with
regard to his money difficulties what were they (
He was too much troubled about them, ‘she was
sure. He ought not to exceed his income, or be ex
travagant; but if lie did, it was no irreparable sin.
He would tell his father, who would lecture him
perhaps, and then make all straight; for he was a
rich man, aud not illiberal; and lie wag quite devo
ted to Joliu. Auna had a talent for theoretically
smoothing life's hard places; hut it was rather lie
youd he; skill to unravel the langle that her lover
bad made of his.
IV.
The circumstance of Mr. Brooke becoming rec
tor ot'Aehburu reconciled the Hartwells to an en
gegement which they had been accustomed to re
gard as tar below the dcservinge of the only sou of
their house. “It was not money they cared for so
much as connection,” as Mrs. Hartwell remarked
to hfir confidential friends; and hqw that Anna's
father had been taken by the hand by such a Until a
and powerlul patron as Lord del’leesv, there was
no saying to wbat eminence lie might rise in his
profession— archdeascon can u, dean bishop, per
haps! The ambitious lady's towering imagination
quits carried her off the teet of her judgment.
’There Was in consequence a great family gather
ing at Mi. Hartwells house, for the purpose, as it
wore, ot publicly adopting the Brooke’s, especially
Anna, into their bosoms, and of setting the seal of ap
proval on what nad.hitherto Only been whispered as
a iileet subject for condolence. John himself pro.
tested against this demonstration as a piece of un
necessary fuss ; lie would muck rather have had
Anna by heieelt; but his mother insisted on the ex
pediency, the propriety, and the alwolute obligatimi
they were underdo receive the other members of
heMamity upon their accession of dignity, and she
had her own way.
“When Mr. Brooke was a miserable curate, it did
not matter,” was herremarkou the occasion ; “but
now that he is foctor of Ashburn, we owe it to our
selves to show him a certain respect.”
The invitation including uncle Ambrose and
Cyril, was accordingly sent aud accepted, tinnil'll
two at least, Ncra and her uncle, would gladly
have declined, but Anna said there was no excuse,
and tjiey must go to please her; ao they went.
The entertainmeut had been got up regardless of
expense ; partly to impress the Brookes with the
splendor of the alliance they were about to form; ,
aud partly to encourage the nascent attentions of a
rich and foolish young man of ostentatious tastes to
the eldest daughter, Sophia. All the Hartwells.
who were presentable had been Collected to give
fofoe tu I hit- friendly demonstration, which, perhaps
from the many efforts to make it succeed, turned
out a deplorable failure. The guests were almost
strangers to each other, and their component ele
ments Would no more amalgamate than oil and wa
ter. Uncle Ambrose described his own feelings
afterward as similar to tlmse he experienced at a
pantomime, where, notwithstanding the glare aud
glitter, you are conscious that all is sham Mr
Brooke, while listening to his hostess’s vapid and
inhaled speeches, could not help thinking ill his
benevolent heart xvliat a very unpleasant mother,
in-law she. would be for his near Anna. The aspi
rant td Sophia was troubled iu his mind as to the
solidity of the silver corner-dishes and the enui'-
iiioiie i-jvrr ii, , Nora was uncomfortable became
old Mr Hartwell patronised aod ir.y deared her ;
John was thinking about that li i that was coming
in so soon . and Anna was restless because Jolm
looked gloomy ; nobody was thoroughly happy cr
oup! ttyril; for the world had not begtm to dash bis
feast with wormwood yet, aud he fouud everything
toothsome and delicious. Above alt, Mrß. Hartwell
was troubled, and her trouble was two fold , ii) the
first place, she had indiscreetly boasted to her sister
in-law that very morning that Ashburn was worth
a thousand a year, and at every torn of the eouver
Sntion she dreaded an exposure , and in the second,
the taitbful Thomas had found means to exhiiirate
himself so successfully, that he was constantly com
mg into collision with Mrs. Arthur Hartwell's man,
aud dropping plates short of tue table, beside other
and minor delinquencies. The expression of supe
riority and lofty room on Mrs. Arthur's plump
countenance was gall and wormwood to the giver
of tbe feast ; and it was felt a relief when the igno
minious lailure ended, and the ladies adjourned to
tho drawing room.
But matters were not mtteh mended there. 1!
wae one of those grandly furnished apartment* for
wlaefa money had dene every thing, and good taste
nothing. The sarin-daiUHsk had been denuded of
its chinta covers, tp* also bad tbe ornamental pieces
of tapestry-work , but the worsted parrot screen
and tue Great Mogul on horseback, and silk-canvas
screen, and the ropes and popple9 blushing all over
downy cushions and Elizabethan chairs, were all
old acquaintances : nobody coutd make conversa
tion about them. Tbe annuals on the round table
had run to seed long ago, and no new ones appear
ed ; even Anna, rare as she was in that state
ro-un. knew every one of tba round-eyed gazelles
and lights of.the harem therein depicted perfectly
well by night.
The youuger members of the company bad from
the beginning of the evening, according to sex, con
reived a violent indignation and jealousy ag&iitet
Nora for looking so proud and so perfectly beauti
ful, so that when she retired alone into a sofa cor
ner. Sophia Hartwell and her cousin formed a par
ly in .the bow window for the purpose oi criticising
the make and simple materials ot her white muslin
dress. Louy, the youngest daughter, and Jofcu’s
favorite sister, took possession at Anna, aud carried
her off to the piano; where, with a running accom
paniment of music to drown their voices, they talk
ed of John without pau?e. Meanwhile, Master Cy- I
rii. who had been ordered up-stasre by his father,

caused the hostess to designate him, in her own
mind. ik a shameless boy meaning thereby that
he w-8 so insensible to the world’s good opinion as
absolutely not to endeavor to make himself or his
family appear any greater or more important than
they really were. And poor Mrs. Hartwell herself
—being obliged to sit. and be silently civil to a deal
great aunt of Ler husband's, who bad a great deal
ofißoney to leave to somebody—was reduced to
console bereelf for her sister in-law s triumphant
aspect at her annoyance* by recollecting that she
had once heard her daintily described* by a connois
seur in feminine beauty, as ** a fillet of veal on
oaatcra.”
“And hav® you beeu down to Asbburn yet, Mr.
Cyr.i!” inquired that fair aud plump person ia her
sweetest coinpauy-voioe. Cyril was in iaektrs etill,
aud being, like all young unee animals, peculiarly
open to the dn'.tary of being addressed as a man of
mature years, he -ttfered uimself to be drawn out
quite to her eatisfaetion.

“Unite, my mother is looking this way; come to

“Why dees he want to go to America at a!| ? I

“How should 1 know more limn yourself I take
John ou trust; you know wbat a noble high spirit

him With regard to money—that may have some
thing to do with it.”
“When he first named his difficulties and his

and get him to settle liis debts, and afterward, at
our Louse, he told me lie had <l,,ue so, and that all
was right tor toe present. I thought he had given

Louria Hartwell was a handsome, dashing, reck
less girl, with a rnoig glorious complexion and large
oark eyes ; but she lacked principle, refinement
and delicacy- -good training might have devel
oped her into a fine character ; but as it was, her
devotion to JoLu and her uusedishness were the only
decided traits sue had. -She broke into a merry
song Without an effort, and Anna feebly ei/eoiKled
bur•; white Mrs. Arthur drew near, observing that
Miss Brooke appeared te have taken cold, as she
did seem in eueh good xtoioe as usual. Anna ex
erted herself and sang the next verse bettor, fearing
to draw attention to herseil’ by betraying any ex
citement.’
*> Did I not hear one of you young things speak
ing about America I” asked Mrs. Arthur, insinua
tingly.
“Ono, auut; we were talking about Anna's
new music and this Ashburn,” replied her niece,
carelessly.
Mrs. Arthur looked as if she did not believe her,
but said she supposed she must have been mista
ken, but she certainly fancied she heard the words,
“ American plan ” perhaps somebody else in the
room had used them, and her ear Lad been de
ceived as to where toe sound came from. So she
went to each scattered group, and asked every
body who it was that had been talking about
going to America, and nobody could tell.
“ Aunt Arthur’s suspicious are roused, Antia, and
she is a veritable lynx. If she imagines a mystery,
she never rests till kUo has made it all ont,” wlus
peiod Louy, bending over the piano.to reach ano
ther piece of music. Been your guard when John
comes in, Hereheis.”
■ John made his way up to the piano immediately,
and spoke softly to his t si3ter. He looked flushed,
as if lie hail taken, too much wiue ; and his eye
restlessly sought to catch Anna’s, who had seated
herself at a little distance, aud was intently examin
ing a song she knew by heart.
“Well, Lmiy, have you talked her over?” he ask
ed ip an undertone.
“No ; but if you persevere, I think sire will give
wuy. She is half tr ghteued now, so be careful and
try what you can make of her yourself white she is
iii a soft mood.
“What does she say ?’’
“Nothing but what she Las said before—she is not
worth you, John, the timid pale thing. Beware of
aunt Arthur; she suspects something.”
John took up a song aid went across with it to
Anna, as if to ask her to sing it; but lie employed
hispeisuaaivepowe.rsto a very different purpose.
“Have you made up your mind, my darling
Anna! Has Louy s eloquence prevailed? 1 eliail
be jealous of her if it has,’ ’ said he.
‘T want to ask you a.question, John —why must
we steal out of Kogland as ii’we were thieves t”
John winced at the last, word? but said with some
triumph, “Theuyou will go, Auna; you have con
st-ntod ?”
“■With my father's knowledge, 1 would go with
you any where, John,—to America or to the moou.”
“Hush, child, not so loud 1 You must not men
tion it to anybody—l should neverget away if you
did ; my mother would uot liear of it.”
“You have given me no sufficient reason yet for
‘sued a wild prank as it seems,” said Auna, looking
steadily in Ids face.
“Love ought riot to salt so many reasons. Cannot
you trust me, Anr.a? Should 1 ever seek to mis
leud you when I love you above all the world ! I
want my exile to lie comfortable. You don’t know
xvliat I risk every hour I stay in Kngland, and I
only stay for you.” *
“Don’t play with my fears, John, pray don’t.
Trust me; top me why 3’OU so earnestly desire to
go, and’ why you must go so secretly.”
“But. the” K'hy is what I cannot tell you yot; I
choose to make it the test of your faith in trie. Louy
eons*tiled the moment 1 asked her—s'/ie is a brave
soul; 1 wish you were more like her In that. 1 shall
begin soon to dombt whether you love me at all, if
you go on hesitating.”
This threat had not much effect on Anna, for she
knew It Was but a threat; and as she began to pluck
a tlovv,. r to pieces, aud so scatter it petal hy petal on
the carpet, she could not kelp thinking lie showed
very little faith, hi her in withholding what was so
vitally important to both.
“Are yon trying Margaret’s charm, ‘Lovetli he,
lovcthhe not’ ?” asked Louy, aloud; then she added
softly, “Aunt Arthur has her eye upon you.”
. “John", for the last time, let me tell my father, 1 ’ ■
said Anna, with pale resolution in her face. “Leave
ho’me clandestirfeiy I never will. My father trusts
me, aud I will not deceive hiui. Give me leave to
speak.’,
“No; I thought you loved me bettor tliaitol see
youelo.”
Mrs. Arthur had elided up to her niece at the -
piano. “Thoectwo, ’ said she, “seem to he tast
ing some ufthebitter-sweetoT .courtship a lover’s
quarrel.”
“So it, seems; Anna is often rather touchy. John
wants her to sing, and she won’t. ‘ O yes, here Bhe
comes. Have yoa prevailed at last, John 1”
“She will smg her own song, but not. mine; she is
perverse to night,” replied John, with ill-assumed
carelessness.
Mrs. A tlinr stood tolisferi to the music, appa
rently delighted, softly beating time with one fat
hand upon the other fill the song was done ; then
she made -conversation about it—its melody, its
sweetness, the gracefal and airy flow of the verse,
and, above all, its sense. “1 dost ou sense,” said
she, panting to deliver herself ol something bril
liant—“ldeal on eebse in a song, it is so uncom
mon.’
Lony laughed. “Since when have you turned
musical critic,aunt Arthur?” asked she.
“S lice I heard you sing ‘Love among the Koses,’
rriy dear. Sense should never be subordinate to
.sound, you kuow.’
“But many pro; le of taste say that when the
words are striking the attention is drawn from the
melody, which >s the chief consideration.”
“1 Imve heard very good poetry turned inflation
seuse verses by the reiterating of some particular
word or words. Perhaps yeuar, right, and the
song is of no consequence if tbe tune be prelty —.
Some girls nowadays don’t articulate at all; they
might as well be practising a scale.”
’ You are not angry with me, dear John,” whis
pered Auna, aside.
“Did you say auy thing, Miss Brooke T O, it was
to my nephew ; I beg pal'd.>u. I thought you spoke
to me. Will you sing agaiu ! ’
“Louy will ;■ I waul Anna myself,” said John;
and he drew her away to the table where the old
anDHalB were.
But Louy. who observed that her aunt was on
the watch, thought she could keep off her attention
from the lovers better by a little conversation, anl
she began to ask if she had made any of the beau
tiful new feather screens. Mrs. Arthur had not, but
she wished to hear how they were done.
“ You must get a circle of cardboard, and cover
it over with peacotdt e feathers, or auy bright ones
you oan procure; and then, forafringe to finish i it,
you must have those long, downy, white feathers
tfom UDder the turkey’s wings—you are not listen
ing.”
- My dear Louisa, I am sure the quarrel between
those two is-something more than ordinary,” said
Mrs. Arthur keenly. •
“J suppose they widmakeitup again , it is no
business if ours. Did you never squabble with
uncle Arthur T’
“ It is so long ago 1 really cannot rem amber, my
dear. We were like other young people, rodoubt.’
Louy smiled sarcastically, and thought her aunt
had a very short memory-. “ Come into the bou
doir ana I'll show you some of-.the screens,” said
she, by way- of releasing John and Anna from her
surveillance they arc easy to make, aud very
elegant. I have made Anna a pair to take to Ash
burn.”
Mrs. Arthur allowed hereeif to be removed with
great reluctance. When she scented a mystery, she
loved to hunt itdown as keeaiy as a hound on the
trail of a fi. Her disposition was essentially one
us research ; and if she had been a great lady, she
, would have beeu an minfnnte from pure kive of
mischief aud deception.
“ I am disappointed, Anna,” said John, in an in
jured way. ” I anuhsappoiuted, that s dll. I fan
eied you loved me, and you and -c’t , yon love your
selt and your stiff old-fashioned prejudices better tar
than me “
Anna drew her seif ap rather protni.y. “Yoa
have no right to say that. John . it is not true,” said
ehe, with a quivering iip.
Cuole Ambrose and Nora had been watching (he
time-piece ever since coffee was handed rouud"aud
now thought it time to gv. Nora went on to her
stsier. ‘ Are you ready to go, Anna ? w'e are ait
so tired,’ saia she.
“In a urinate, Nora. John, say yoa will give up
your wUdecheme, and stay quietiy at home. You
make me wretched.”
He looked at-the deor a® he answered. “I'win if 1
can.—dove that content you.’—bat imayuvtbe

CHARLESTON, April 23. Cioton— The transac
tions for some days preceding the cate of our last publi

larly the case on the day that we closed our inquiry. -r-
Good Middling, which at the opening of the week, as
will be recollected was quoted at 12 ; 124 c., was val
ued at the ciofic at 12ifo. Thus stood the position of af
fkirs w hen the trade were put in possession of the un
favorable advices by the Africa, which, for ihe moment,
brought the market to a stand still. The demand liow
ever .soon revived, for we find that a good business was
done on Saturday in the better qualities, which occupied
as firm a position as ihey did just prior to the arrival of
tuese advices; and this remark may apply with equal
tiuth to the sales of Monday. The transactions of
Tuesday were mu e general, and developed a deeided
advancing scale of prices, and from tliai period up to the
close of transactions yesterday, there has been a daily
preponderance in favor cf the seller, establishing au im

DRY GOODS!
Which they are now receiving, purchased on such favorable terms as to
warrant them in assuring their friends and customers that
they can save them at least from
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT!
ON ALL FINE AND IMPORTED GOODS.
The question may naturally arise, how is it possible for them to do so ?
In answer to this, they wish it to be distinctly remembered
that their’s is the
ONLY HOUSE IN GEORGIA
That keeps an experienced Purchaser, all days in the year, in the Northern
Markets, with the cash in hand to pick up BARGAINS, wherever
they are offered. When this fact is remembered, it will
be easily pereeived that they buy Goods from
FIFTEEN to TWENTY-FIVE
t aud in many eases
FIFTY FFII CENT. LESS,
Thau the same class of Goods can be bought for when the Northern Markets
* are crowded with Southern and Western Merchants,
laying in their six months’ supplies.
THEIR'S IS STRICTLY A CASH HOUSE
They buy and sell for 0 AS1I; and to save the feelings of all on this subject
who might feel hurt on a refusal to open accounts with them,
They distinctly state that they Open Accounts with no one,
NOT EVEN IP THEY WERE WORTH A MILLION.
They betr to refer to a few of the leading articles in the different departments of
