A TALE: OF LOVE AND CONSTANCY.
*by miss Many a. iiennesseb,
At tho closo of a beautiful day In tho month
of October, h young and beautiful girl might
havo been seen promenading tho long piazza
of a magnlflcout mansion, situated in the
city of 0—. The glorious sun had just Sot
In all his splendor, leaving bis goldon tints
on tho fleecy clouds, thereby.rendering tho
short twilight unusually soft, bright and
boautiful.
Anna Hnzlowood, tlio liorblno ofottr tale,
was thoottlychlldofMr. Jantes Hnzlowood,
a widower, and a very wealthy merchant of
C- . Ho mnda hor an Idol, and caused
hbr to bo educated in all the rofined and
costly accomplishments of her sox. Unfor
tunately sho was not his only idol, althongh
hls'only child. There was anothor to which
ho bowod In almost holy rovcronco; that
Idol was Monoy. Mr. Hnzlowood’s highest
ambition for tho future of his daughter, was
to soo hor wedded to'wealth. Accordingly,
when sho had attnlnod tho ago of seventeen,
ho selected Ilonry Waters, a wealthy, though
somowliat dissipated young gentleman, n3 a
suitor for hor hand and heart. Mr. Waters
proposed to Anna, but, strango to say, ho
was at onc’o rejected. "Take more tlmo to
think of It, and you will finally mako up your
mind to havo him,” said hor father, when ho
heard from Anna’s own lips tho decided re
jection of Mr. Wators. "Novor, father, I nov-
or can mako up my mind to marry Mr. Wa
ters.”
"And why not 1” asked her father, turning
palo at tho bnro idea of losing so wealthy a
suitor for his daughter’s hand.
"Because I cannot lovo him," replied
Anna.
"Cannot lovo him 1” exclaimed hor father,
In groat amazement. “Lovo a fiddlestick I
Why, I could almost lovo Beelzebub himself
for fifty thousand dollars. It Is top had ;
fifty thousand dollars offered to you, and you
won't tako it."
“Father, dear father, forgive mo, hut I lovo
another."
"Who Is tho other 1” demonded hor father.
“Mr. Charlton Montford;’’ replied Anna, In
all tho innocence of her heart.
"Charlton Montford I What, Dick Mont-
ford's son, ray old onemy 1 Ho shall novor
havo a daughter of mino. No, novor j I had
rathor soo you lying a corpso at my loot, than
to see you tho bride ofMontlbrd’s son."
"Bnt,my dear father, what possible objec
tion can you havo to Charlton Montford 1 Ho
is not tp hlamo for his father's wrong doings."

fiithorand Ilmvo bocnatcnmityfor a nnm-
hor of years. It Is an old grudgo, and noth
ing can obliterate it. So mako up your mind
at once to marry Waters, and forgot Mont
ford."
“Forgot him, oh, I never can forgot tho no
ble and accomplished Montford. I entreat
of you my dear father, do not sacrifice tho
happiness of your only child, to avengo a
wrong, or for tho sake of glittering gold."
"Themis no use in wasting words about
it," ropiiod hor lather j Tl am determined
that you Shall marry Waters, if I lmvo to hold
you at tho altar." So saying, ho loft tho apart
ment Ip a great passion.
It had so happened, that tho slimmer be
fore tho commencement of our story, Anna
had just met with Charlton Montford, r at n
fashionable watering place where they soon
became acquainted with each other, and be
fore thoy wore awnre of it were mutually In
lovo.
Charlton Montford was tho dccondant of a
wealthy and aristocratic family who resided
In a neighboring city. Being gay-and hand
some, young Montford was sought after by
many of tho opposite sox, but all their arts
proved unavailing. At tho ago of twenty-one,
ho loft College, nnd sought for pleasure at tho
fosbionablo watering places. His heart was
froo os tho summer air, and It was not until
ho bccamo acquainted with Anna.Hazlcwood,
that a change camo o’er tho spirit of Ills
dreams. Ho was moved by tho porsonal
charms and vnrlod accomplishments of tho
lovely girl—and ore they parted they ex
changed tho most solemn vows of constancy
and truth. A correspondence ensued, and his
last letter gavo information of his intended
visit to tho city.
It was at tho closo of tho lntervlow with her
father, just doscribedfthat Anna was soon to
promofiodo tho piazza of hor fathor’s mansion.
After taking two orthreo turns up and down,
she seated liorsolf upon a rusty bench, and
thus soliloquized: “Oh! what a hard and
cruel lot is mino. I, who havo beon raised
In tho lap of luxury, and whoso slightost wish
has over bean gratified ; and now subjected
to trial. My father, who was always so lov
ing to mo, to think that ho should wish
mo to link my fate with that of a man whom I
can novor love 1 Alas, the Bpring t-imo of my
lifo is too early shrouded in sorrow and In
tears. True, if I would but consent, my dear
Charlton would gladly release mo from this
fearful destiny. Ho would tako mo to him
self, and afford mo his strong protection.—
But no, I cannot consent to such a step. Nev
er shall it ho said that Anna Hazlowood mar
ried against lior fathor’s wifi."
Sho had'hardly uttered theso words, wlion
site was roused by tho sound of approaching
footsteps, nnd tho noxt momont Charlton
Montford had clasped hor to his bosom. "Oh!
Charlton ” oxclnimod tho Jovoly girl, "how I
have longed to soo yon, so that I might toll
you all my troubles. My poor heart is ready
to hurst, and I fool that I havo no friend
loft."
“Anna, dear Anna, cheer up j your tears I
fear will make mo forgot my manhood. Toll
mo what sorrow disturbs you. Your letters
havo boon silent regarding it."
"Most willingly would I forego tho task,"
ropiiod Anna, "hut I must not.” Sho then
related all tlrnt lind occurred sinco thoy last
iuot, and how lior father wished her to marry
Mr. Waters, and sho had steadfastly refused.
“And did 5-ar lather / persist!" asked
conversation," lopllodAnna, “And lhy fhther
loft tho room In great ahgor.. Dear Charlton,
my father lias no personal ohjoction to you j
It Is only an old 'quarrel botwooh htta and
your father, that makes him object to my
reeoivlog your addrossoa."
"1 was ontircly Iguorant of tho enmity. bo-
twoon our parents," nnsworod Charlton,
“until a fow days since, whon T told my
Ihthor ofoifr engagement, and asked permis
sion to solicit your hand of your ththor. * My
fiithor has nn interest In a largo morchanttto
establishment in Havana, which ho thinks is
about to flail, and ho put mo off. by saying
that ho wishes to send mo thither as his agent,
(fbr ho is too old and Infirm to take such a
Voyngo,) to bring tho husinoss to n closo, and
if possible, to prevent a total falluro. So now,
dear Anna, thiroremains but' tho alternative,
olther to bo untied at onco, and wait for tlmo
to oool our dithers’ anger, or. I must IcaVe you
and go to Havana, and lb that caso Hcavon
only knoiVs whon wo shall moot again. My
heart pleads strongly Ibr tho first proposition,
Anna, and I nwalt your decision."
Olmrlton took Anna's hand within his own,
and while tho tears wore coursing rapidly
downlhor cheeks, tho noble girl thus replied:
"Charlton, you know that I lovo you, and it
Is tho very Intensity of that lovo that prompts
me to decline your first proposition." '
‘t)h, say not so, dear Anna," exclaimed
ChOrlton. “Hoar mo through,”, continued
Anna, "I havo but little more to say. Our
parents are so much opposed to our union
that I think it host to part for tbo present,
and during your absence, I will uso my in
fluence with my tntlior to bring -about an
amicable adjustment ofall difforonces. Wheth
er wo meet again la this world, or only In
that far happier ono beyond tho skies, Anna
Hnzlowood will wod nono but you. And now,
dear Charlton, farewell; do not despair, for
all will yotbo.woll." Without awaiting his re
ply, she turned and entered tho honso, and
sought her chamber, to pour out hor full
heart in prayer to tho Glvor of all Good, nnd
to supplicate him to guard and protect her
lover, and to return him in safely to his
frlonds and his homo.
A fow days Inter, Anna lonmcd that Charl
ton had ombarked ter Havana, and thon sho
folt, Oh, how lonoly and snd'. Sho soon rous
ed liorsolf from this despondency and tried to
appear ehcorfhl nnd happy, though hor heart
was ready to break all tho wlillo. Sho know
that a great deal depended upon her assumed
cheerfulness, tf sho would bring about tho
desired reebnoiliation between old Mr. Mont
ford and her Ihth'er. After tho departure of
young Montford for Havana, Mr, Hazlowood
peremptorily forbade Anna to mention hii
name In his prosonco. Still Anna was not
scourugod. Bho was determined to watch

HU
meantime, to try by gentleness nnd affection
to subdue lior father’s angor, and thus win
him ovor to consent to their union.
About three mouths after Charlton Mont
ford snilod for Havana, Mr. Hnzlowood was
taken suddenly ill. Ilis family.phyaician was
at onco called, who pronounced his sickness
merely a slight dcrangoincnt, nnd said that in
a few days ho would bo wol! again. A week
passed by and lio was no bettor, hut rathor
grow worse. Anna became nlnrmed at theso
serious indications, and sho watched ovor him
day nnd night. Sho seemed liko an nngol
hovering around Ills sick bed, ministering to
his every want, and as sho watched his pallid
chcoks, and listened to his moans of pain, hor
hoart was wrung with agony at tho thought
that hor father might novor recover, It was
drcadftdto think-that ho might dio with mnl-
loo aiiTRalrod rahkllng In his heart. Oh, If ho
would only forgivo and forgot, thought
Anna, how happy I would bo I How can -ho
hopo to dlo forgiven In another world, when
ho Is so unrelenting In this V Not long
after, while Anna was sitting by hor father’s
bod-sldo reading thb Blblo, and nnonftasting
a mournful glanco at lior father, who lay
upon his sick coucli with half-closed oyos,
apparently In a fltfhl slumber, ho slowly un
closed his oyes, and looking around tho room,
Whispered Jior namo. Sho arose, and bond
ing over him, asked, in a low voico, how ho
was. "Bettor, my doar child, hut oh I
novor thought myself so near dying In my
life, and I know that it is only through tho
care of. an all-merciful Proridonoo, and yonr
kind nursing, that I am still alivo. “What
book were you reading, Anna 1”
“Tho Bible," Bho ropiiod, “may I rend a
chapter to yott 1” no nssontod, and Anna
opened it at tho sixth chapter of St. Luke.—
What a chapter for a child to rend to an
forgiving, unrelenting parent J Anna read un
til sho came to tho sublime passngo:
“Bo ye therefore moroiful, as your Father
la also morclfnl ^ judge not, and you shall not
be judged; condemn not, and yo shall not bo
condemned; forgivo, and ye shall ho forgiv-
on.” She could not proceed any further, but
burying hor fuco In her hands, sho burst into
tears. How could her father withstand so
touching an appeal, for well ho know tho
causo of hor grief. Thosolcran words which
sho had just read to him entered his very
soul, and told him that ho had wronged that
sweet and gontlo being, Ills only child. Then,
reaching fourth his arms, ho drew her to Ids
bosom, and for a fow moments thoy min
gled tholr tears in Bllonco. Tho father was
tho first to speak. “Anna, my dear child,
1 knew that in tho solflshncss of ray prido, I
havo caused you groat trouble. Anna, will
you ho guided by thosellbly precepts which
you havo just read to mo, and are you willing
to forgivo and forgot tho past wickedness of
your father 1"
“Father dear father,” 1 repliod tho weeping
gifl ns she twined hor nrms about hor father’s
neck, and pressed hor lips to his foveredbrow,
“Ihavo nothing to forgivo ; only lovo mens
you onco did, and I shall ho happy," “My
dear child,” whispered hor father, “I ldvo
you as I do my ojvn soul. It was only enmi
ty to others ami a love of wealth that mado
mo forgot my duty to yah. Lot tho past ho
forgotten, nnd in future I will do all I can to
ensure your happiness.” He pansod for a
moment, then recovering himself, he. continu
ed. “You lovo Oharlton Montford; Anna,
ho;dosorvcs yourlovo. Ho is endowod
‘n ull respects a gcutlomnn. Tho 111 will I
boro Ills father nlono mado mo refuse to listen
to his suit, but that is. passed now.- Yon
liavo uiy frill consent to yonr union ns soon
ns ho returns from Havana. I. will write to
hts ththor as soon as I nm Ablo, and I am con
fldont that ho will consent to bury our -dif
ferences at my solicitation." “Thanks, a thou
sand thanks, my dear father.’’. “No thanks
at all, my doar olilld," said hor father "you
havo boon a good girl, Anna, and It will mako
your fiithor’s hOart rejolco to know that ho
can contribute to your happiness. That you
may Always bo as happy as you havo boon
kind and affectionate, is his lioart-felt wish.-—
Go, now, to your chamhor, and sock roposo.
You have attended on mo during my sick
ness with suah unremitting caro, that 1 fear
R will aflbot your health."
“Do' not fear for tub, ththor; I novor oq|oy-
od hotter health In ray life than I do now,”
repliod Anna, smiling.
"Iam truly glad to hoar you say so, my
child. You had hotter go to your roam, how-
ovor, and refresh yourself with sloop, for I
know you need it. 1 will try to stoop also
during your ahsonso.” IIo closod his oyes,
and soon foil Into a gontlo slumbor. Whon
Anna had folded tho coverlet caroflilly around
him, sho tripped lightly from hla chamber and
sought hor own, but not to sloop, as hor fiith
or kindly suggested, Oh, nol her heart was
tooftill of pleasant reflections, nnd dreams of
hope and happiness to como, to admit ofslum-
bor. Bo, sitting down by hor wrlting-doSk,
sho coinmonccd penning a letter to lior lover,
tolling him that hor father had given his con
sent to tholr union, and that all hor troubles
would soon ho at an end. Nothing was want
ing now, hut Ills return and hor father's re
covery, to.cqmploto tholr happiness,
Anna finished hor letter and dlspatohod a
servant with it to tho post-oifioo, qnd thon,
hut not till thon, did sho lay herself upon hor
couch to'seek reposo. ■
It was a lovoly morning In May, ns thO sun
rose In all his majestic splendor and cast his
rays of rbfulgont glory o’er the city; that .ser

A Now Orleans pnper of standing has some
curious commentaries on tho lives of soveral
rich mon, recently deceased in that city. Of
John McDonough it thus spoako:.
“Ho had but two passions—notoriety and
accumulation. Theso 1m pursuod through a
long, and niggardly, and sinfril life, and theso
lie exhibited in his will. Ho clutched at his
bonds, and titles, and moneybags, in his dying
moments; and by a will both silly and intri
cate, aDd fruitful of fraud and controversy—
amlrrorofhis character—ho. sought to con-
trol and administer them after death, lio ent
his neglected relations offwith a shilling, and
bequeathed tho enormous aggregate of soven-
ty years of avarico and cunning, to communt-
tics that will never plant a flower on his gravo,
or moisten it with a tear.”
Here is a sketch of another.
“Joseph Fowler bus it cold, selfish, cynical,
vulgar man, without a scintilla of soul,, who
lived for himself alono, thinking neither of his
suffering kindred in this world, nor of Ood and
eternity. IIo was the slave of tho alt-mighty
dollar all his life, and died, at I(tst, without'
having tho courago to mako a will, or tlm
graco to make, by public charities, somo re

Tills is not n picture ofn small class ofplan-

plantations and will confess tho troth, will
say-lt Is a fair representation of a largo class
of planters. Homo, comfort, tho education
of children—all must-ha sacrificed to tho god
—demon, I hod almost said—Cotton.
Tho family must stay from mooting on Sun
days perhaps, or visit, so as to tako no horses
from tho Cotton field on week days. Tho
children must bo kept from good schools bo-
causo tho ththor wants to Increase hts Sold

bo satisfied with tho old-log cabin, and tho
daughter tied to tho kitchen, so that the old
man may mako tho allotted maximum of hags
of Cotton,
This.is wrong, Mr. Editor,end now if yon
want to know my remedy for tho ovil, I will

“Jurymonl That lawyer on tho othor stdo -
