(Wriltten for the CurUnvitle Express .) 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 in the channel of his travels. Fre quently at first, he had written long en thusiastic letters to Elda, but g.*q(]i4.iliy intervals of hi* cmmiiuipatfon widened Snd more culdly and indiferent lie «. j w, Meantime Elda was diligent study, ing and reading, with a heart bfitp ipjqg with joy, the lettm pf him whom slip uhcqnciously loved.
