(Conoluded.) 11, Margaret I\ said \Westvrood with XX a sjgh. \Hut you see, I had glren her up. And when ono'lovo is lost, there sink such awful chasms*into tho soui, tbnt. though they canaot bo flllod, we must at least bridge them o?er with a now affection. Tho number of marriages built in this way, upon false foundations of hollowness and despair, i* incomputable Wo talk of jilted lovers and disappointed girls marrying 'out of spite.' Ho doubt, such potty feeliig hurries forward many premature matches. But it is the heart, loftshakon,unsupported, wretchodly sinking, which reaches out its feelers for sympathy, catches at the first ponetrable'point, and clings like a. helpless rine to the sunny-sided, wall of the nearest consolation. If you wjsh to marry a girl and can'tt nnd aro weak enough to desiro hor still\ this is what you should do : got somo capable,man to jilt her. Then seize your cbnrico. All tbo affections which hare gone out to him, unmet, ready to droop, quircring with the painful, hungry instinct' to grasp somo object, may possibly lay hold of you. Let the world sneer; but God pity such natures, which lack the faith and for titude to live and dlo truo to their best love I \Out of my own mouth do I condemn mysolf? Very well, I condomn myself; peceavi! • If I had ever loved Margaret, then I did not lovo Flora. Tho samo heart cannot and its counterpart indifferently in two such oppositos. What charmed mo in ono was her purity, softness, and depth of soul. Whatfascinated me in the either was her bloom, beauty, aad passion. \Which was the true sympathy ? \I did not stop to ask that question when it was most important that it should be sorlously considered. I rushed into tho •rowd of competitors for Flora's smiles, and distanced them all. I was pleased and proud that alio took no pains to concoal hor preforanc.o for me. Wo played choss; we read pootry out of tho same book; wo ato at tbo samO tablo; wc sat iud watched tho sea togothor:, for hours, in thoso olear, bright days; wo premennded the deck at sunsot, her hand upon my arm, hor lips forover turning up tenderly towards ruo, her eyes pouring thoir passion into rao.- Then thoso glorious' nights, when tho ocean was a vast, wild, fluctuating stream, flashing and spark-' ling about the ship, spanned with a quiver ing bridge of splendor on ono side, and rolling oil' into awful darknoss and mystery, on tho 6ther; when the moon secmod swing ing among the shroudg like a ball of whito Ore; wlfen tho fow ships went by liko silont gbbsls; .and Flora and I , in a long tranco of happiness, kept tho deck, heedless of tho tliroag of promehadcrs, forgetful, of the past, rqckless of tho future, aware only of our own romance, and.tho richness of the present hour. \Joseph my travelling-companion, look ed on, and wroto letters. IIo showed mo ono of theso, addressed to a friond of Mar garet's-. In it bo extolled Flora's beauty, piquancy, and supremacy; related how she made till the women joalous and all tho mon mad; and hinted at my triumph. I knew that that letter would meet Margarot's eyes, and was vain onough to bo pleased. •'At.last, ono morning, at daybreak, I went on deck, and saw tho shores of Eng land. Only a fow days before, wo had left America bohind us, brown and leafless, just omerging from tho long gloom of winter) and now the slopes of anothor world arose green and'anvUwg in the' flush.of spring. There was aHbraacing breoze; the dingy Waters of the Kersey rollod up in wreaths of beauty; tho fleets of ships, steam ers', sloops, lightors,,pilol-t)oaU;'bounding over the waves, meetings tacking, plung ing, swaying gracefully undenthe full- swelling canvas, presented a picture of wonderful animation; and tho mingling hues 'of sunshino and. mist hung ovor all, I pacod the [deck,- solemnly joyful, swift thoughts pulsing through me of a dim ( far offMalrgaret, of a near radiant Flora, of hope and happiness superior to fato'. It was orio of thoselimeiirhen the excited soul transfigures the^rprWi * nd *° m « rTe l how wo, could ever succumb, to a transient sor row while the whpleuniverso blooms, and an' infinite t futuro waits to op* for u* its^doorsof wonder and joy. f ' '''Inkhis state of mind'I was ijolnedi by Flcrai Sbo laid hor hand on my arm, and we walked up and down together. She was seriouB, almost sad, and sho viowed the come to an'end I' \'Not so,' I said; -<or if one romance ends,. it is to give placo to another, still truer jmd sweeter. Our lives may bo all a succession of romances, if we'wlll make Worn id. I think now I will never doubt the future; for I find, that, when. I have given up my dearest hopes, mjr best belpved friends, and, accepted tho, gloomy\ Belief that alUifoi betjdes c isvbarron,—then comes s«mo pew experience^ Ailing my empty cup with a still more'dohoious wine.' 'Don't vex me with your philosophy I' said Flora. *I dbn'f know\ anything about it, All I know is this - present,—this sky, this earth, this sea, and the joy between^ whitb' X can't give up quite to «a«iljF M JO* can, with your beautiful theory; that some thing better awaits you.' \ \a havo told yeu,'-Ilrtpliod,—fori had been quite fraak with her,—'how I left Amorica,—what a blank life was |to me thcn; x aaddid 1 not turh ; my back upon all that to meet face to face.'the greatest 7 hap piness x which I have 'over-yet known?

Then wo were sufferod to land, and enter tho noisy, solid streets of Liverpool, amid the donkeys and boggars and quaintscencs which strike tho American so oddly' upon a first visit. All this delay, tbo weariness aad impa-- tiance,tho contrast between the morning and tho hard, grim reality of mid-day, brought me down from my elevation. 1 felt alarm ed to think of what had passed. I seemed to havo boen doing somo wild, unadvised act in a fit of intoxication. Margaret camo up before me, sad, silent, reproachful; and as I gazed'upon Flora's bcaimmod faco,. I wondered how I bad been so charmed. \We teok tho first train for London, wherq wo arrivod at midnight. Two weeks in that vast Babel,—then, hoi for Paris I Twelve hours by rail and steamer carried! us out of John Bull 's dominions into the: brilliant metropolis of his French neighbor.' Joseph accompanied Us, and wroto Totters, home, filled, with gossip whioh I knew,V,.«r bopod, would mako Margaret writhe.' • I | had not found it so oa«y to forget her as/I:- bad supposed it would ' bo. Flora's power over me was sovoreign; but when I was. weary of the dazzlo and whirl of tho life she led me,—when I lookodinto tho depth's of my heart, and saw what the thin film of passion and pleasure concoaled,—in those serious moments which would come, and my soul put stern questions to mo,—then, Sir,—thon—Margarot h»d her revenge^ \Amonth crowded and glittering^.with novelty and incident, preceded our depart ure for Switzerland, ^accompanied Flora's party; Joseph romaincd behind. \Wo [left Paris about tho middlq of Juno, and return ed in September. 1 have no words to speak of tbat era in my life.

Tho' evening boforo wo wcro to sot out for tho South of France, I was at my lodgings, unpackingand repacking tbo lnggago which I had loft in Jesoph's caro during mv ab sence among the .Alps; I was molanchely, dissatisfied with the dissipations which had exhausted my timo and energies, and think ing of Margarot. I hud net preserved a single memento of her; and now I wisbod I had ono,—if only a withered leaf, or a lino of her writing. In this mood, I chanced to cast myeye upon sj stray glove; in the bottem of my trunk. I snatched at it oagorly, and, in tho impulse of tho moment,—before I rofloctcd' that I was wronging Flora\ pressed it to my lips. Yea, I found the S lace where it had been mended, tho spot iargaret's fingers had touched, and. gave it a kiss for ovory stitch. Then, inconsed at myself,.I flung it from mo, and hurried from the room. I walked towards the Place.do.la Ooncordo, whore the,brilliant lamps burned,liko a constellation.
