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.

"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 ut _ waftTor'ailuttig‘OpPoHunlt^,''aail l fJ/Hio Rtt fothei 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.

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 vants might havo been seen hurrying to and fro in tlio splendid-mansion of Mr; Hazlowood, busily preparing for tho nuptials of tholr young mistress, who was to bo married that ovorilng. At six o’clock tho company began to osiotnblo. Carriage after carriage drove up tho avonuo and thon rollod away, to mako room for fresh arrivals. Tho front pnrlors wore soon crowded with guests, mid all was gayoty nnd gladness. All that mind could conceive or tosto suggest was there to rondor tho occasion attractive, Unseen musio float ed in tho air, whilo'tho evening zephyr seem ed brighter witli tho odor of swcot-smolling flowors.

Throe Millionaires. 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 paration for tho selfishness of liis fife. His re lations, who vainly, in hla lifetimo, Implored tho crumbs that ’fell from tho rich mnu’s ta ble,’will now, it is hoped, receive and enjoy tlio magnificent estate which ho accumulated by oxtortion, and coined out of tearsjind des titution.” Tlio third is referred to as follows I “Cornelius rankling was a hotter man than oithor of those. lie was frigid, penurious and exacting; bat ho sometimes gavo, and gave freely. For many yoars ho had boon amem ber of tho Baptist Church; nnd, nt various periods, after ho removed to Now Orleans, ho provided a place of worship for ids brethren, nnd tendered his house ns a rcsidonco for tbo minister. Several Clergymen camo to rbsido with him, lint, notwithstanding tholr habits ofsolf-donial ho starved them all out. Nor did tho Church thrive any hotter under his auspices. Tho Church government of tho .Baptists is a pure democracy.
