Avoid him as thou wouldsi u basilisk.’ a stern look, and a threatening motion of the linger, the stately adtnonitress slowly disap peared. It was a snn-sh'pv Alay afternoon. They had stood in a little garden adjoining the humble, vet comfortable mansion of the firm, imt gentle lady. who. while in reality she performed all the assiduous duties of a mother, still usurped over the innocent creature whom she had undertaken to educate, only the tender authority of sisterly persuasion. Th“ sun was setting, and sent back a warm, mild radiance over earth and sky; the rich masses of foliage threw their long silent shad ows upon the turf; the birds were warbling as lighfheartedly as if never faithful lover had met aught of difficulty or obstruction; an old wall, reared ages ficfore, a part of the grounds of a magnificent adjoining seat, the property of a great noble, lay soft and rich in the mellow sunlight, breathing forth from its gorgeous drapery ot inoys, vines and flowers, yi thousand sweet and soo.tljj.ug odors' 1 jUeiv K»d tipvi'e the butterfly eame lhu tcrnigon the /.ephvr, v il.h jiis gj-gHf vings and happy tuit.ni pi-po'-ition. and ftie ihou of flie bep, that epicurean philosopher, ever bent on his s-.vaet dnfv, rose to her hnlf .unconscious ear, lilendcd vvitli the ; j’tennl sound of a waterfall, and the distant voices of some luqipy children, pursuing their sports upon the cool grass. Poor Kate ! Kli? stood motionless, as her kind preceptress withdrew, her eyes fixed on vacancy, her mind lost in tender thoughts and dim appre hensions; lcr hands cias[»‘d abstractedly under her apr ii. and a single rose upon her l>..s<on. placed tlvre !>y that gentle and loved hand, whose lightest i (pucil was heaven to her trusting heart. As shb Florence, ga. Monday, april n. is js Stood, abandoned to the new ideas which came rol ling through her mind, she scarce knew whether jMost to yt ItJ to regret for the unaccountable dis- Anna against h:r lover, or to imligiiatioii rhat one so noble and dear should be exposed to suspicions ro unfonnde*! and absurd. Kveti w hile sliding, red in the same attitude, a slight noise broke ni noon Ijcr reflections, and a youth of ap par :!,y h •■eerti nr and twenty, extxepiely hand some and grata lio in face, form and manner,sprang (.own lroni the hall, and, in another instant, km It at her feet. • Kaf.: na, my bird of love,’ he exclaimed, ‘my queen of beauty, my very angel of light—’ ‘Dearest— <icate-{ Dudley* what opportune spirit hath sent tliccat this itiontcnt ?

A slight noise in the adjoining garden, as of a hasty footstep, seemed to reeal the youth to calm ness. ‘Forgive me Kate, my blessed guardian angel,’ he said; ‘I inherit this nervous malady from my father.

Dun * . ! ’ ‘Aye, and a true one,’ cried a strange voice, ‘who, in the sweet pursuit (ti beauty, breaks through the formalities of < ustom, and solieiis bis pardon Imre.’ The intruder w as neither remarkable for youth nor b?aty. He w as simply arrayed in a dress be fitting one of a middling rank ; his face rather homely than otherwise; but his air vas confident ami gricei'iil, his voice well modulated, low and tender, and his language, even in the iciv words he lrad already spoken, was marked with some thing charming and superior. As he took the H.sad of the astonished Kate, Moiton stepped hack, with au tnr of constraint, and, with arms folded on his bosom, lips compressed' closely to gether, face somewhat'pale, and eyes, that, after stealing one keen look upon the lovely counten ance of Katrina, sought the ground with a compo sure apparently embarrassed and painful. As for tli • aifb .-s and inexperienced ; irl, she was bewil dered with the rapid alternations of the htt'e dra ma in which sh? sustained so prominent a part, and scarcely knew what to think, or how to act. ‘tyqusite creature ?’ cried the stanger, boldly taking licr hand, and respectfully, but thinly rai sing it to his iips. ‘lfyuijley !’ cXvkunicJ Kate. , itut tbs? youth, in his cold and •tatu-like atfi-' tn !e, remained motionless and unU.itched as if he wre indeed marble. ‘Nav, angel of light, and lovely beyond com pare,’ said the stranger, ‘let jour confidence m vou young man pass away.’ Sh? looked again in wonder at her lover. lie was yet stirlcs.-s and silent. ‘Dudley Morton loves you not,’ continued the ne w comer. ‘Nay, he loves another. This night he will hast u from you to her arms.’ ‘.'iauderct'! villain!’ exclaimed the girl, with a sudden bur-4 of indignation, ‘Dudley’, mv be loved, come to this knave, and strike him dead at my teet. Kate,’ replied Morton, without unfolding his arm-, or in anv wav stirring from the wall against which lie leaned, ‘what he tellsyou is too true. 1 do love another. I have wantonly trifled with, vour affections. Ih has long known,. ever loved you; give him your heart, fair girl. He on ly can make you happy.’ ‘I am in a dream,' muttered Kate with pale face and trembling lips, striving in vain to disen gage lit r hand from "that of her kneeling and audacious adorer. ‘No dream, my beauteous madonna !’ exclaim ed the stranger, smiling, and not in the least lo smg tJy? singular serenity of his manner, liis words are tru", even as he hiuiseff fells you. Hf i- beneath vour love. I, rarest ol earth s sunny daughters, will prove a more faithful lover.’ And with a gesture of familiarity, he laid his hand u pon her shoulder, as if to draw her to his brast. But the affrighted gill igi no mind to beat such an insult. With'a shriek that pierced the heavens, she started away, and would have fled like the wild forest doe, had net her unceremon ious admirer held her with a firm grasp. At tiiis moment, Anna, alarmed by the voice of her be loved child, whom she believed all this while ru minating iu the garden upon the advice she had given her, dated to the scene of action. Her surprise may be imagined at the bold group w hich there met her gaze. Kate in the iron grasp of a licentious stranger, and, at the distance of a few feet, Dudley Morton, composedly stauding with folded arms, and face half turned aw ay, making no effort to relieve from insult the befluulv.l and pure object ob his sworn love. lier astonishment was £kifi jwrfher heightened by the perfect pon-chai nin'r with which both tiie bold intruders disregar ded her'prcsence, neather betraying the least alarm or c met bin upon’being discovered in so inexcusable a dilemma, nor even' i-xhibititig any intention ol breaking off their insolent design. Kate's eyes flashing fire, her now flushed and indignant fea tures alone seejped m rescue the whole picture from the ayiperaiice < ! some fantastic illusion. The good Anna, after tu i e subbing her cyi?s,"be gan als ito consider her.-elfin a dream. At length lhe tremulous voice ei Kate broke the siienee with the sweet severity of youthful virtue.
