ELLEN EATON,
OR
WE ALTS vs. 2EIE&IT.
It. a city in one of the Atlantic States,
a number of years ago, there lived a
iady of wealth andeulture : wltoes good
ness oi heart, won for her friends in all
ranks of society ; hut especially was
she beloved by those ol her own sex,
who did not aspire to her social posi
tion or had tbe means to till the sphere
in which she moved, not with homines?-
ol bearing, or with that purse-proud
self-complacency that chilled a sensi
tive nature. A kind sruiie tor all, and
a peculiar tender regard for litose who
sought her aid or advice, though iu the
tiumble.r walks of life, was a leading
trail of her character. Beautifully sins-,
pie aod inviting, she was tire (Vietrd ol
die poor and die homeless. The siorv
of her life is not without a moral,nor al
together destitute of a tint of romance.
Ellen found-herselfi at the age of six
teen, without father or mother and a:i
inly child. Her father had by ttkIns-
try in his calling, and a-riot economy,
been able to buy Ibr himsell a home,
ami extend to his daughter the advan
tages of an education. iiut disease
laid its hands upon him-, aod in a few
weeks he was numbered with die dead.
Her mother, from anxiety, care and
grief, was soon sleeping beside him she
loved so well ; and Ellen realised in a
short tune, what it was to be an orphan.
She had a home, but alas! it was des
hut growing business, unknown com
paratively in business circles. A young
man <-f good character, liberal educa
tion, integrity aud business qualities.
Attending a party one evening with
Ellen, be was quite attentive !o a pret
ty girl, Jay the name of Kate 'Shepherd,
who was something of a belle ; quick,
vivacious, sparkling and easy in her
manners, she had a number of admir
ers, and King among the number. On
fheir return home from the party, Ellen
laughingly remarked : Mr. King, 1 think
that Miss Shepherd has an admirer in
you, Li my eyes do not deceive me. I
know diat you are pleased with her—
now own up frankly to die truth ; I
wiH keep vour secret.
i do admire Miss Shepherd, I eon-
fbssj lor I like to look ujmu a pretty
woman, especially if she has a bright
and cheerful counleoance, which Miss
S. has ; arid besides, she is inviting in
her manners, and rather attracts one lo
her ; unreal beau catcher.
Then you own up that yon love her
do von, remarked Ellen.
No, I rlont confess to any such thing,
re jilted Mr. -King. I simply said dial
1 admired her, which is a far different
ditng from loving her.
l should not think: that it would take
long for v’uur admiration to ripen inlo
love, replied Ellen.
] do not know how that would be, if
T -bould make it a point to cultivate her
sociciy, which 1 do not expect to do.
j Bln.- is a pleasant evening companion,
arid entertaining, and Ibr that reason
when in company with her, I am some
times attentive to her. Bui were !
looking out for a wife. Miss Shepherd
would not be toy first choice. My
ideas, of the qualities to make a wile,
such as .] would choosy, are. not found
in our friend. And allow' me here to
say, that il l were on the look out for a
wife, my first choice would be yourself
dale; ah ! worse than desolate, for RtK | ; t only because l feel at this lime
around it, clinged tender memories,
and her young het#t could but call loo
vividly torernetnberauce, the faces that
she loved, and that made, her home an
earthly paradise. But Elleu was not a
girl to yield up to despair, though she
keenly loved, and bitterly felt her loss,
she nevertheless, felt, that she had du-
thal my business prospects and means
lorbid that 1 should seriously inlettain
an idea on the subject.
Ellen was somewhat taken by sur
prise at the serious tufa her pleasant
remarks had drawn forth, and incon
tinently dismissed the topic of conver
sation. Boon reaching her home, she
ties to perform to heiself. She was I bado her escort good night

whom she felt she could or would throw j marrying just at that time, or engaging
herself, nor had sire an invitation from | himself to any one. He had a proper
any, to make their homes her home.—
In fact, those she knew, had limited
means, and her presence would he
rather a burthen than otherwise. This
she knew, this she felt. She had the
borne of her late father, but was unwil
ling to live in il by her self. She was
at a loss what to do.
Turning the matter over in her tniud
as she lay restless at night upon her
bed, she resolved that os she must labor

sponsibilities &e., &c. Yet, he as usu
al vkiled Ellen to enjoy her society.
His visits were received as usual, no
change marking the character of their
reception, arid the little episode in their
return from the part}’, was fading out

•hicIi thoughts and language was pass-
e«i from one to another* but not to the
admired young lady.
Tints time, roiled on, Miss Eaton in
due time received her money, and the
amount whs deposited in hank to hei
credit. Eire with the adviee^oi friends,
made investments in railroad stocks
aud in real estate.
But there, was a change in the man
ners ot her former male acquaintances ;
they became as much reserved aud dis
tant, as her new acquaintances became
familiar aid attentive. Horace King’s
visits became less frequent, and more
reserved, and his pleasant freedom of
manner forsook him. On several oc
casions when ho made a visit, he found
himseU in strange company, ami had
but liitleno say, .letting the other visi
tors monopolise the time and conver
sation of the vouhg lady.
It so happened one evening, that lie
made a call upon Ellen, ami during
the course of conversation, she mci-
demly asked him how ire was thriving
in business. He blushed up and stam
mered out : as well as usual. Ellen
seemed not to perceive his embarrass
ment, but turned the conversation up
on other subjects. As Mr. King was
about bidding her good evening, slit
said to him, lake vour seat, I wish a lit
tle business talk with you.
She began hy saving : Mr. King, I
have the utmost confidence in yon as a
man ofcharacter and integrity ; and I
have some E=> or o,CG0 in bank that is
lying idle, will you not take it, paying
me the legal inLerest ? You could en
large your business, and I am satisfied
that yon will be successful. He begged
to be excused,as he did not need it. liu!
Ellen insisted, assuring him that ii
would be an accommodation to her,
and she knew, an advantage to him,
Mr. King replied by saying, he would
think about tbe matter, and write her a
note on the morrow.
Next morning about eleven o’clock,
Miss Eaton received a letter. In the
letter Mr. King thanked her for the.of
fer, and said he would take the sum of
three thousand dollars, and he sent his
note for the same. Ellen wrote a check
on ihe bank and sent it by the bearer.
Ellen gave up her school, as there
was no further uecossitv for its cmitin-
Irim ; the simple kininess and nnostenta-
tion with which it was done. Ha thought
tap pi the conversation, aud t^ve impromtu
declaration ha nlado ahnosf without
thought of what he was saying, upon the
return from an evening party. He began
to examine his feelings, and the more he
thought of Ellen Eaton, the more his heart
began to beat afresh as in the days of his
poverty, but checked by that poverty.
He began to feel ashamed of tbe distance
and formality with which he had treated
her, because she had become the posses
sor of wealth.
Batting on his hat, he resolved that he
would go and make her a social call, such
a"s had marked his conduct iu days past.
Upon reaching the house, he was shown
iirio the parlor, where he fouod two other
young men, and being a stranger, to both,
he was introduced, though he know them
by sight. Ho felt embarrassed,» aud had

ances (o do all the talking, which they
did well befog at borne in lady’s society.
Alter a brief visit, Mr. King bowed him-,
self ont, receiving *u iuviiatiou from Miss
Eaton to call again.
Mr, King, after he got home, felt ill at
vase; ho was troubled m iniud, yet ha
knew' not exactly about what, iliss Ea
ton and her visitors kept ditting across his
mind, his visit bad been interferred with,
his anticipated social evening talk inter-
uipted. Thus agitated in mind and feel
ings, both somewhat (indefinable and oira
accountable, lie went to bed. Next morn
ing. business claimed his attention, aud
during the day. bo never gave his evening
vjs.it a thought. In the evening, after sup
pet, his unpleasant thoughts returned, and
seemed to have gathered strength, though
unmirsod during the. day. Nothing daunt
ed, ho, to shake off his thoughts, again
called upon Miss Eaton, and found her
alouo.
The evening pa? ed off pleasantly, and
he received, as lie a. ways did, a kind in
vitation t«» call again. As lie left, that in
vitation "call agaio” produced a peculiar
sensation about the heart ; it pounded to
him, he thought, more inviting that ever
before, aud he resolved that he would tail
again.
Some four or five days after his late vis
it, Lis thoughts bad been engrossed in oth
er matters besides that of buying, telling,
filling 1 orders &c. r &e.
A icsolre of a peculiar nature, not par
taking iu any manner of a business trans
action, had been determined upon. A
pleasant Wednesday evening found him at
the residence of Miss Eaton, and though
ho did not feel axactly like himself, yet,
hejdeported himself as usual. As the eve
ning was wearing away, ho enquired of
Miss Eaton, what had become of Miss
Kate Shepherd, as he had not seen or
heard from her for the past year. He was
told, she was living in a little place called
Orangeville, and was quite a hello ; aitd
remarked Miss Eaton, you have not ceased
to admire Miss Shepherd.
No, replied Mr. King, a pleasant and
pretty ycong lady she is, and one that
will always baTe friends. Then his voice
partaking of a slight tremor, he asked :
xVliss Eaton do you remember the convers
satiou we had about her tbe evening we
attended a party at Maj. Jones’.
Ellen showed a little flush upon bpr
face, and replied, she did. Well, contin

Kate ; but 1 told you with equal frankness,
that were I looking unt for a wife, she

she could lake cate of herself and lay
up a little every year. Modest, qsiiet,
unubuusive, she ui^de no tuicinpL at
display, though every one who wyis
thrown in her society, was impressed
that she ..was a woman, ol thought, re-
fiectiou uikI of culture. She could not
be called a handsome or pretty woman,
neither could she be called an ugly one.
Her features were regular, and when
lit np with animation, were attractive.
She belonged to that class of women
whose beauty grow upon acquaintance,
and whose attractiveness consists more
ur tbe mind than the features. Her
associations were among that class that
occupy tin; middle ground in society,
and dial rise from that position lo the
first class by success.
Ellen like all young ladies, was by
no means averse to the attentions of
young men, and on many occasions
were gallanted to parties, concerts, op
eras and church by such young men as
had made her acquaintance.
Among the number that were atten
tive lo her ; was one by the name of
Horace King who was doing a small
<m her good fortune, and when she ap
peared in the streets, or at church, all
were eyes tinned upon the “rich
young lady.”
Nhe soon began to perceive a marked
.difierericc in the attention of many, and
flint some who had seen her for ihe last
two nr three years at church and had
ale at the same holy communion with
her, never recognised (jj gave jhe first

ognition began to play around llierr
iips, juiod of head at meeting, gave
her assurance that she wa& not alto
gether unknown, though never beforef
sjMiken to or invited to tlfbir homos.
' Some became anxious to know if she
intended to continue teaching; for if
she did, would like to send to her, but
thought it would hardly become bey to
do sacb a thing. Others scouted the
idea of her teaching longer, and that
site would take her “proper place in so
cieiy,”'for she was intelligent, refined,
and educated, not to say, a very hand

Soon, carriages drove up to the mod

One evening, as Mr. King was sitting in
