VERNON.
BY J. F. B.
CHAPTER 111.
f.ove9 alter oft is kindled by the r«v
That beams from gratitude.— Mrs.
Hales' Ormond Grosvenor.
Death.
Grinned horribly a ghastly smile.
To hear his famine should be fail'd.
And blessed his maw destined to that
good hour.
Paradise Lost.
“Do you still intend starting for Eu
rope to-morrow, Vernon!”
“Yes, Carrie, if possible.”
“Oh! what a rover you are. But
. you know your devoted friend, Ida
Hargrove returned yesterday.”
“That does naught to obstruct mv
passage to the old world.”
But vmi should visit her. You were
both very intimate once. Have you
! allowed time and abscence to alienate
your quondam affections ?”
“Ha! well, l will try to see her.”
“And Eida Lyle—would her bene'
'factor leave her friendless! By, the
by, she is about eighteen years old
now, eh ! Vernon ! It’s time her amoret
should pay iiis visiles d'amour, tor I
suppose she has by this time a brain
crowded with learning and pretends to
adopt the fabulous preference of
Anaragoras—a grain of wisdom to
heaps of gold. If so she will never in”
herit these realms, unless she suppos
es Anaragoras to prefer both to one
alone.”
‘.•Eida Lyle is not a fool, though
somewhat more humble than you in
American society. That is a story of
> our own machination.”
But I who Hatter myself this far as
to think lam as well acquainted with
the art of pathognomy, as many of
these pretending, foolishly eccentric
wiseacres, as certainly think Mis El
da’s mind imbued with the proclivity
of love ; and Vernon beware of the ire
of the unmerciful Auteros. She is
never discovered in lethargy when
hearts trump. I suppose ere long the
invitation will be extended to her to be
the guardian Arethuia of your cygnet
fountain. Shall Ibe the urbane para~
clete to admonish Anaxarete—in other
words yeleped Eldy Lyle—of the
suicidal fate of I phis !’
* Are you a lunatic ?”
“In other words, am Ia fool! I
hope not Mr. Wayne.”
•*I did not say that.”
“But your term is synonymous with
it.”
“I spoke, hew my words as you
will. Dispose cf them in your own
wise way. Any stranger would think
it a profound idiosyncrasy of your na
ture to undulge in such giddy and
futile language. Now Igo to see your
indirect enemy.”
Ami vour <beato ideal v\ Christian
grace and perfection. I hope Miss
Lyle will give Mr. Wayne a cordial
reception. Aurevoir!"
He bowed and left. Toward th«
opposite extremity of the village he
directed his hasty steps.
But Eida was not at home. Then
where! Perhaps visiting her whilom
haunts in the wood* Thither Mr.
Wayne proceeded, and ere he had
walked far he paused to listen. A
voice met his ear.
“Noihmg is more corroborated by
the annals of the past =•”
The voice paused. Hearing his
name pronounced Mr. Wayne turned
instantly, aud saw Eida through the
wood, holding a paper, from which she
had been reading aloud. Mr. Wayne
advanced a few paces and said :
“At length, then, Romans, we have
either cast out or sent away or—me*
thinks I heard the tones of Polyhymnia,
as triumphant as that of C'icero him
self,” and then approached her.
“And you quoted his wojrds for com
parison, eli ? Ha !ha !”
“Well—no, but what volume is that
you have!”
“The iEucid.' *
“In what book were you reading?”
“In the second where poor iEneas
is relating the great fall and destrtfc
tion of Troy. Here to-day at school
one of the scholars made a very ludi«
crous mistake. Rumembering place
I thought I would read again this na;t
and enjoy the fun of it. It has been
nearly two years now, since 1 finished
it but to pass nu idle moment I have
selected Virgil. Speaking of the great
merits of Ripheus the juvenile classic
met with the descriptive phrase ‘ser
vanlissimus aequi and translating the
'&qui' as meaning a horse* he haply
understood the superlative as signify
ing a faithful attendance of, he On
eluded to render the term more com
mon, and make it at least more
Comprehensible by purporting Ripheus
most considerate, curried /us sited .”’
“Ila! ha! ha! and I suppose you
tormenting girls have been keeping the
learner burning with crimson since by
reiterating the words of his error ‘«er
Vttniitsimus aequi .’ A woman would
nearly as live tell her age (which they
are most reluctant to do) as to have
lost this your little episode of school.”
“Why, Mr, Wayne, what an idea
you have of tn v sex I lug to submit
that we are not all fooU, as you sup
pose.”
••But I know this, one idiosyncrasy
of the feminine fender, that their in
fantile minds exult over trivial matters
with greatest delight, and never fail to
laugh at. and discourage oue with their
taunts.”
“ Infantile minds! That signifies
compared to the intellect of man mere
infant s. I do—”
“ Oui , as I never saw a woman that
admitted reason. 1 have concluded,
to argue with one, would he us useless
as were the • arma desueta' Os the aged
Priam. When overcome by force of
reason passion argues “oh, pshaw!”
1 Shakespear reduces your feminine ar
gument, to these two simple, but rep'
resentative lines:
“I have no other, hut a woman’s reason,
I think him so, because I think him so."
Pshaw revert to our classic conver
sation again. This topic isn’t worth a
■ moments consideration.”
••What, sir! Who Milton thought
worthy to speak of you do not?”
‘•Yes, but I imagine if you refer to
him for strength of reason you’ll find
(not what you would wish) that he does
not exalt woman to the equality of
man in point of intellect.”
i ‘*l do not pretend to be able to lonch
the subject there. But you know Mil
ton —”
1 “I wasn’t personally acquainted with
him, but if 1 hail been, I would have
congratulated him in his grand work,
especially those though concerning
woman. He states the limits of her
sphere comme ilfaut. Boyd says, that
from the loftiness of his ideal Milton
was disappointed in woman, as Eve
was his lifelong dream ot what woman
was, and yet may be—a dream from
which he again and again awoke,
weeping, because the bright vision had
passed away, and the cold, stern reali
j *.y reality aione remained. But see
, the occidental orb lowers in the west;
j presently the natural world of our
j hemisphere will slumber.”
I “Yes, it is time I should return,
j And while being your cortege I make
| our interview short, for to-morrow I
start for Europe and it —”
“Europe!” echoed Elda.
“Yes, Europe, I must start to-mor
row, I come only to bid you good-bye.
I shall begone perhaps a year or more;
but Elda you will not all.»w me to be
forgotten ? Read much and study
while I am gone, I am sorry f can not
be here when your term closes. You
have nearly acquired a good scholastic
edecation, but there is much*—very
much more you should learn. Visit
my sister-in-law frequently and bo as
sured that my library is free to you,
You have been tlieie frequently before ;
go as much so in my abscenoe.”
He paused and meditatively bowed his
head toward the earth as they walked
along. Presently however, he resum
ed, but in a much lower tone.
“Elda, four years ago, I formed an
unceasing friendship with you and de
lighted you by sending you to school;
ever since I have watched you. It
seemed every day you increased in
your learning. I saw that you were
ambitious. Then attachment grew
stronger. My heart was bound to you.
Now 1 have analyzed my regards to
you and feel that truly and purely l
love you.” He stopped, as Elda’s
mother met them.
“Good evening, Mrs. Lyle!”
“Good evening, Mr. Wayne! I sup
pose you have found Elda rambling in
the wood.”
“Well when 1 first found her, she was
causing the woods to ring with a most
grant'iloquenl speech—or perhaps it
was her Composition she was repeat
ing to the undisturbed air of the
grove.”
“Yes shegoes out olten to read aloud
or study. I have often told her she
should take exercise when making her
sylvan perambulations. She does’nt
look very healthy—as she might. And
I rather think she studies too much.”
“Why,” said Elda “Mr. Wayne was
advising me a few moments since to
search literature so thoroughly that
one might be sure he meant not to ex
cept the philosophy ofthe Pythagorian
Tlieano, and to read and study much
while he—by the b\ e, he intends trav
eling on trans'atlantic shores.”
“All. when do you start, Mr.
Wavne ?’*
“Before another sun shall set, mad
air.”
“You travel extensively, sir. I sup
pose all your foreign excursions prove
delightful.
“Very '; but Elda to return to what
you abrubtly cast aside a moment
since. 01 course I meant a proper
time for study, and a limited one also.
•Much study is a weariness to the
flesh ;* and much of it is surely path
ognomonic,”
••Yes, Elda takes many of the hours
of night in studying.”
“Why, Elda, I thought with all yonr
learning, Hygeia would surely influ
ence you, as well as other but no more
important knowledge, all the bloom
you possess will be metamorphosed to
premature, pallor and ugliness. It
would be very pleasing to prolong our
conversation, but now ! must leave.”
“They had arrived at Mrs, isle’s
house.
“Good bye, ){r|, tyle!”
NO. 39.
i "“Good-by*, 9ir t I hope you may
benefit yourself by this journey.”
“ Thank you, 1 hope su.”
Mr*. Lyle went in lb® house, and
Ehht remained a moment to speak
with Vernon.
“Elda,” he said “our conversation
was interrupted a few moments since,
1 do heartily regret that 1 have no time
to renew it. You remember my last
words. I declared to voti solemnly ami
sincerely the predominant feeling of
mv sum!. 1 made you a protcslaiiou
of that lovu—truly un imperial pastitm
swaying me. In two or three words!
cease. Before crossing the broad At
lantic, 1 pause to whisper again mv
murmur. It is the only enlivening
pathos of this struggling heart 1 re
pent, l love you !”
He paused. Elda colored deeply scot
bowed her head ; hut the roseate hp«
beatit : f;.lly glowed on her cheeks,
“Elda I must put to you one sitnpla
interrogatory. JJo you love Veruuu
Wavne.”? *
“Try my unconscious heart! —Mr.
Wayne, I can not auxwer that, I. —•
pshaw ! how could 1 love him whoso
demetire
Built like « temple, where pilasters muml
Were set, am! Doric pillars '
“Oh, Elda, Elda, quote not that now.
You know as if fearlully, 1 ant a weal
thy man. Answer mv simple query,”
“It is true Mr. Wayne, 1 never
searched my heart for love. I do well
remember your unutterable kindness—
“ There EUla ; thank Heaven ! away
with gladden heart. I sail, but to return
for more definite—l go loved one,
vale!''
“May Heaven watch over you, sit!”
Softly pressing her soft dimpled
hands, tie left. She stood momentari
ly watching him; and as she turned
toward the house, tears moistened her
rosy, blooming cheek.
One week alter leaving home Ver
non Wayne embarked on the bound
less blue. As the distance perpetually
widened between him and his home,
more constantly his spirit communed
wi h Elda’s. Stronger his heart grew
in love, and more constantly memory
painted a blessed image in his mind,
that he incessantly worshiped, bowing
to the idol of love. The solicitude
waxetl more insatiable until he tread
on foreign shores. Here then scenes
shared his attention. Involuntarily he
allowed them to force themselves
deeply into his mind. Matty intense
ly interesting sights presented their,•
selves invariably proving suasive and
exciting. Now beholding the rural
scenes of proud Aibions confines; now
the wonders wrought by the Tewton
ics; then the contrasting scents of ths
lofty mountains, va6t glaciers, roman
tic valleys, and beautiful lakes that
diversify the soil ofthe Swiss; again
inhaling the salubrious atmosphere of
the emperial French. Anon lu* en
joyed the delightful clime of Italy,
where levant winds o’er the sea
• • Blow
Sabran oilers from the spicy shore
Os A ruby the Blest:
Mild as when Zephyrus on Flora
breathes.” Then he looked on silent
Rome. Once queen of the world, she
now unheard of. Her princely state
liness aud renown were now dead to
the world, lying inuin in the silent se
pulchre ot oblivion. Her renown was
but a bubble that glistened beautifully
and brightly, while it smoothly glided
for its own short period of existence
on the unstable stream of time; hut ah!
Rome imperial city where art thou
now ?
•‘Btrcmjjly thou rearsd'st thy
monumental stones,
Unrival cd mistress of a thousand
thrones!
But now they totter like tlune own
high pride,”
Where are thy stately domes of old
renown? Where is the laurel thou
did’sl wear when the prosperous queen
Where are thy stately domes of old
renown! Where is the laurel thou
didst rear when the prosperous queen
of all attliguily. Its once blooming
flower* now withered lie and can only
crown the head of thy fame’s silent
tomb. And thine are crumbling tow
ers, while once thv stately edifices ri
valled all the architectural world.
Such were the e.ouemidaliotis of the
young travelet as on :.n imposing emi
nence he viewed Italia’s quondam eni*
perial metropolis.
Now classic Athens Vernon visited.
It too had lost its ancient fame. 'The
iron tooth of Chronoss had touched
this famous city, and comparative de
generation was its course.
But to As'athe traveler wm pressing.
Arabia's magnificent mosques be
witched him, and farther on the orien
tal splendors dazzled in his sight.
But now the thoughts of love were not
constant —nay, but seldom did ths in
fatuated rover revert to her whom ha
had long since left and to whom he had
made such vow* of ever-enduring affec
tion and constant recolection. He was
enraptured by the orient scenes that lay
