Supriicd and filled with vague uneasiness, his brlihiplost no time in obeying the behest. Within the most secluded of her suit of rich ly famished apartments at the old Ilall, half- ktied in the depths of a cushioned chair, re- tiiahl the bride expectnut, in bridal array. She was alone, her attendants having, by her tta di-iire, withdrawn. Estrllo Morellc—or “ la belle Estelle," "Bnatiful Stella*” **thc Midnight Star ”—as, fxher resplendent dark beauty, she was po- rially named—was at this time twenty-five irars of age, and more lovely than a poet's or at artist's ideal. Her form was of medium Wight, and very slender, though well-round- d with a graceful head, over which fell rich niuei of jet-black silken ringlets, shading a ha of pure, pale olive complexion, with large cjon/ul dark eyes, habitually veiled by the lag, drooping lashes, aud delicate, though fill, curved lips, ever patiently closed as in ident resignation. The prevailing expression tfWrdark, brilliant countenance was a pro- head melancholy. The announcement of Miss Morelle’s ap proaching marriage with the Viscount Mon- treaor had created a profound sensation in the ydooable and aristocratic circles. A peerless beauty, the only child and heiress of the old uu wealthiest and haughtiest baronet in West tfEngland, her heart had been ns much the object of aspiration to the youthful and ardent, u her hand and fortune had been the end of doirc to the mercenary and ambitious. At the early age of seven years, Estelle bad keen placed at one of the first-class female in tuitions of learning at Paris, then, ns now, eoatidered among the very best of their kind a the world, and there had been left to re- *°au» until her sixteenth year, when the sud- del and calamitous breaking up of the institu “■*> and her own severe illness, bad occasion- •d her removal.

His presence soon inspired Estelle witii a faith that she had not been able to feel in any other that approached her. He drew nearer to her then any other had been permitted to come: lie crossed the magic cir cle of her isolation, and conversed with her as no other had been allowed to do. The world looked and said that the leautiful Stella had at last met her master and was conquered. At this stage of affairs, the parliamentary term being over. Sir Parke Morellc and bis family left London for Hyde Hall. Lord Montrcssor asked and received per mission to follow them, and in less than a montli availed himself of the privilege to do so. Thus it was in the Lome of her ancestors, after having obtained the cordial sanction of her parents, and believing himself sure of the af- sod standing in the presence of Estelle J—she looking so beautiful and happy ! AVitn the old cbivalric enthusiasm of de votion, he dropped at once upon his knee, and raised her hand to his, saying— ‘For four years I have hoped and waited for one word from yon, and at last, beloved, you have written—‘Come,’ afid I am at your feet, as I said, with an unchanged heart!’ * But I.’ said she, deeply blushing, while she held both hands to raise him, ‘I, my Lord, have not iui unchanged heart! for longer than four years I have loved you more than woman’; tongue may tell—and never more, than at the hour in which we bade farewell, as I thought forever!’ ‘ I know it, beloved! knew it then.' knew it altoays! I never doubted it! Could I be de ceived in the dear heart of the woman I loved! factions of their daughter, Lord Montressor No! and that was the secret of-my patience!’ otlered his heart and hand to the lovely Estelle, I he replied, taking his scat on the sofa by her and was to his profound astonishment instantly I side. and firmly rejected! In thus rejecting his ‘Andyet you never Inquired and do not suit she wept long and bitterly, praying his even now inquire, why, without explanation forgivness, that the happiness she nad experi- J ’ ' cnced and exhibited in his society should have betrayed him into making this declaration, and beseeching him never to renew his suit; but to leave and forget her. There was something in the tone of her refusal which confirmed ana and without hope, I 6ent you from my pres ence, and why now, without apparent reason I summon you back!’ she said, as ti shade of the old sadness fell upon her beautiful face. Your motives, dearest, were, and are your own. Not until your spirit moves you to do deepened his previous conviction that—even I so, shall you give them to me! I have full in rejecting him—she loved him! But with his | confidence in you beautiful Stella!’ high-toned sentiments lie would not in the IcaBt degree presume upon that knowledge. Tak ing her hand with deferential tenderness, be said— Stella! a man never but once, in his whole existence, loves a woman as I love you! I will not inquire the cause of the rejection, which you have certainly a right to make without as signing any reason for the act. And after having received this repulse, I may not in ; you *Confidence! Oh my God!’ she exclaimed in a low, deep, thrilling voice. • Whv, what is the matter, dearest ? She looked up suddenly, a smile of worship ping love, breaking like sunlight over her dark face, and said— •Nothing, nothing, my lord! but that all your thoughts and feelings are so elevated be yond yonr poor Estelle’s! And yet she would almost choose it so! for conld she be an angel honor distress you by a renewal of my suit, she would wish you to be something higher—; But this, in parting, I must say to you—that, though I go hence, I shall not go ont of the reach of your friends; I shall never address woman; so if ever in the course of future weeks, or months, however long, you may think proper to review the decision of tins evening, Stella. I implore you to let me know! Write but one word,*‘Come,’ and I will return to lay an unchanged heart at your feet!’ Estelle was weeping too bitterly to reply. •Stella! will you promise to do this V ‘Lord Montrcssor, best and dearest friend! do not seek to bind yourself to one who can gave you nothing in return! Try to think of the melancholy girl that you have pitied and loved—only ns a shadow that fell for a mo ment across the sunshine of your path, and then passed away forever!—and so forget her!’ Stella! I have pledged my honor never to god!’ ‘Sweet enthusiast! moderate your aspira tions, or the world and its people will disap point you! Be not an idolator; worship only God, my Stella.’ Such was their meeting! Yet, occasionally, throughout tho inter view, a sudden shadow like the recurrence of a painful thought, would fall upon her bright face aud pass as it came. They were engaged, and within a few days the marriage was announced to take place on the first of May. But it was observed by the nearest friends of the bride, that from the day of her betroth al, her spirits had been marked by the stran gest fluctuations. Sometimes with her beau tiful dark face illumined with a deep, still, al most religious joy, she moved about, as it were renew this suit, unless you reverse in my favor on “winged feet,” or sat brooding in a happy the sentence you have pronounced upon it; but, I trance. At other times, she fell into deep inspired by the deep nnd deathless love I bear I gloom and anxiety, as inexplicable as it was you, and ‘hoping against hope,’ I feel impelled alarming to her friends, who greatly feared to implore before leaving you, that, in the event her relapse into the deep melancholy that bad of a favorable change of scgtinicnt or .purpose I so long overshadowed her, and that they had towards mo, you will not hesitate to give me I grown to dread ns aserious constitutional mal- ^Malted upon her case, and tho re tt ‘i* M , , c ’ r wisdom was a decision that this l^cooly was not the effect of ill health, still ^aal * orrow <^ ut that it was aconstitu- that would probably pass away i rctarn *d to England, presented their court, and introduced her into all k*Monable life.

Now will you promise? Re member. it is only to let me know in case of a change in your sentiments.’ For an instant the light of an unutterable ady. But they hoped every tiling from her approaching marriage with the man she loved. Lord Montressor observed with the deepest interest tbc uncertain moods of his betrothed; but with the high-toned sentiments that distin guished him, refrained from inquiring, and awaited her voluntary revelations. At last the first of May, the marriage day, upon which I have presented the parties to the reader, arrived, and all the haul ton, as I said, were gaihereil at tlie Hall nr at the Church to do honor to the solemnities. And the expectant bride, in her bridal robe and veil, waited within her boudoir the arrival of the bridegroom, whom she had sum moned toaprivatcinterview before they should proceed to the church. She bad not long to wait. He whoquickly responded to her slight est inclination, immediately obeyed her call. Yet when she heared bis firm elastic step ap proaching, ‘Now God have mercy on me!’ she prayed, and covered her face with her hands. He entered, unannounced, and saying, ‘My beautiful Stella! I ain here, you per ceive, by your commands!’ She dropped her hands, and revealing a face love and joy broke on her beautiful, dark face, pale with misery, spoke in a thrilling, deep and her smiling lips parted to speak—when— “ J * as if a sudden memory and warning bad grip ped her very heart—she uttered a low, sharp cry, turned paler than before, and then said— ‘No! no! my Lord! Stella cannot even give you that! She is poorer than the poorest, in gifts to you! She can only pray that you may forget her and be happy.’ He looked profoundly disappointed and trou bled. Bnt soon mastering his despondency he said hopefully— •Well, dearest Stella, although you reject me without apparent reason, and refuse to give me the slightest promise or the most distant hope, yet I repeat—should you, in the long fu ture, change your purpose, and write to me one impassioned tone— You are here by my supplication, my lord! I have no right to command.’ AVe will waive that! What is yonr will, my dearest Stella ?’ ‘My prayer, my lord—is first, for your for giveness.’ ■Forgiveness1—my Stella V Ay! my dear lord! you sec before you a penitent and a supplicant, who may soon bo something more wretched!’ My Stella, wbat mean you V Come to the window, Lord Montrcssor !’ she said, rising and proceeding him. * Look out,’ she continued, putiDg aside the rose-col ored haugings, and revealing a view of tho park word— 4 Com’e,’I will* hasten to lay at your I below, alive with its rest less multitude. ‘What feet au unchanged heart!

Some moments after, Lady Morellc, who came to seek aud congratulate her daughter up on what she imagined to be the only possible result of the interview—found Estelle lying in a swoon upon the floor!

This attack was not, as the other had been, followed by illness; on tho contrary, from that day, the cloud seemed lifted from her head, eveu those who had most admired her face in its shadow, were enchanted to see how brilliant was her beauty in its annihine!

Crimean Anecdotes, The commaudcr-in-chicf at Inkcrtnan, as some one said, “rather liked being under fire/’ He was sitting on horseback, in tho midst of battery of artillery, watching our men work ing the guns. A very heavy fire was being directed against this part of the field, both from the enemy’s cannon and also from small arms. One of the staff suggested the propri ety of his not putting himself iu quite so dan gerous and conspicuous a place, especially as it appeared, from tho number of bullets which came singing by us, that he was a mark for the enemy's riflemen. Lord Raglan, howev er, merely said: “Yes, they seem firing at us a little, but I think I get a better view hero than in most her. other places.” So there he continued for sometime, and then turning his horse, rode along the full length of the ridge at a foot’s pace, and conse quently, exposed himself as much ns ever. As a contrast, take this specimen of tho coolness of a sergeant of the gallant seventh. It was towards tho close of the battle, and Lord Raglan was returning from taking leave of poor General Strangways, and was going up towards the ridge. A sergeant approached us, carrying canteens of water, to take up for the wounded, and, as Lord Raglan passed, ho drew himself up to make the usual salute, when a round shot came bounding over the hill, and knocked his forage cap off his head. The man calmly- picked up his cap, dusted it on his knee, placed it carefully on his head, and then made the military salute, and all arter one ove the wust battles—a patch of my hide about the size ovc a dollar an’ a half bill here; a bunch ove my liar about the size ove a bird’s nest thar ; then sum more skin; then sum paste; then a little more har; then a heap ove skin; then more har; then skin; an’ so on all over that durned new fangled, everlastin’. infernal cus ove a shut.
