Richard turned calmly away, and followed Maria 
to her room. 
As soon as Martha saw her husband disposed to 
take her part, she thought best to hold her peace, 
and go quietly about her work, with the peculiar 
air of a person very much abused, but nevertheless 
perfectly resigned. Lionel walked across the room, 
sat down and took his yonngeatelrild upoD his knee. 
“ Now tell me what this quarrel is,” said he to 
his wife, in his usual imperative manuer, when ex¬ 
cited. “ What is the matter of Maria V” 
** It is such a trifling matter, that I am ashamed 
to mention It..” replied Martha. “I didn’t think 
she was so silly. There was something said about 
the large square bed-room, iu the new house, and 
Maria spoke up very crank, and said she laid claim 
to that. I asked her by wbat right, and she an¬ 
swered that it was time for her to lay claim to some¬ 
thing, since she and Richard had suffered us to 
trample upon them, and have our own way in every¬ 
thing, so long.” 
“ Did she say that ?” said Lionel, angrily. 
“ yes, and a great deal more like it, which I can’t 
repeat. Of course,” added Martha, with a self- 
approviDg smile, “ 1 couldn’t hear her talk so, with¬ 
out making some reply; and so I told her that if 
anybody had a right to the bed-room, it was our¬ 
selves, for the house would never have been built, 
if it had not been for yon." 
Lionel’s brows gathered. 
“ Richard shall know of lhis,” he muttered. “ I 
could have borne anything rather than that she 
should bave said vie trample upon them. My blood 
boils at the injustice of the charge. I take the lead 
in business, because I have more of a business turn 
than Richard has; and because he knows it, and is 
more willing to trust to my judgment than his own. 
We trample upon them ! So, this is the reason why 
Maria did not set the table?” 
“ 1 don’t know of any other reason, I am sure,” 
replied Martha. 
Meanwhile MaTtha was telling her story to her 
sympathizing husband. 
“I ought to bave set the table, I know,” said she. 
“ But Martha was so unjust and tyrannical that I 
had to rebel. It is true we never quarreled seri¬ 
ously before, but it is only because I have always 
tamely submitted to her domineering disposition. 
She has had everything her own way; and so has 
The fashionable season was at its height when 
Graham Eston, returning from his long tarry in 
half-civilized and wholly-distracted Mexico, where 
be had been engaged in connection with a silver 
mining company, arrived in town. An old college 
friend who rau across him at the St. Charles, kindly 
offered to polish him up a little by taking him to 
Mrs. Blank’s party that evening, and there Gra¬ 
ham was introduced to Miss Lewellyn. He was 
so changed that she failed to recognize him, at first, 
and he was far from imagining that-the regal young 
lady before him was the little girl whom he studied 
years agone. In the introduction, too, he did not 
hear the name distinctly, and its familiarity did not 
consequently attract, his attention. 
When Kitty taw that her new acquaintance was 
indeed the Graham Eston of former memories, she 
wickedly or justly resolved to he just as fascinating 
as she could, and she succeeded admirably. He was 
charmed by her piquancy, her ready wit, and her 
rare beauty—more rounded than in her young girl¬ 
hood,—and ere he wrapped her cloak about her 
and escorted her to her carriage, was more in love 
than ever in his life before. A protracted call upon 
her next morning was followed by others, daily, 
until his happiness depended on her smiles. Mean¬ 
while she was not unmindful of his condition, and 
at times half regretted the course she had pursued. 
He told his affection in words, at length, hur¬ 
riedly, brokenly and earnestly, as a man will whose 
love takes hold on all his being. She pitied him, 
then. But the retribution was just, her proud heart 
said, and a cold surprise breathed through her voice 
as she answered— 
“You will oblige me by never speaking of this 
agaiD, Mr. Eston.” 
He glanced at her a pained, wondering look. For 
the first time the thought came to him that she 
might have been playing at coquetry. She was 
thinking of the tears she shed for him, once, under 
the apple tree, and an expression of scorn settled 
on her face,—half for herself, for ever having been 
| so weak, half for him, for ever seeking to win her 
Her scornful face stung him.

Richard. “ This is insult upon insult!" 
At. the breakfast table, a suUen silehce was main¬ 
tained by Richard and his wife, while Lionel and 
Martha kept up a light and careless conversation 
between themselves, in order to 6bow a proper con¬ 
tempt for the resentment of their companions. 
This affected indifference rankled in the sensitive 
heart of Richard, and having made a light and 
hasty breakfast, he went to the barn and drove his 
team into the woods without saying a word to his 
brother. 
Lionel followed soon after; and the brothers 
helped each other roll the logs upon their sleds, as 
usual, but it was without a kind word, or a kindly 
feeling. Each waited for the other to speak: and 
had Richard or Lionel uttered a single word of kind¬ 
ness, it would undoubtedly have been responded to 
with an outburst of brotherly love, and would have 
resulted in a perfect reconciliation ; but as it was, 
they worked together thus all day, making them¬ 
selves and each other as miserable as possible. 
The following day being Saturday, Lionel rode 
into the city to make some purchases, and to con¬ 
clude a contract for the disposal of a quantity of 
wood, which the brothers had long been anxious to 
send off, while the sleighing lasted. 
Now Lionel, imperious and unyielding as he 
sometimes was, had naturally a kind and generous 
heart; and when he thought how wretched the 
family quarrel had made them all, during the past 
eight-arid-forty hours, and remembered how happy 
they had been living together in peace and good fel¬ 
lowship, he resolved to forgive Richard’s unreason¬ 
able spite, and make the first efforts towards the 
restoration of mutual confidence and love. Accord¬ 
ingly, -while he was in the city, he purchased a box 
of figs, to he divided equally between Richard’s 
children and his own; a silver comb for Maria, pre¬ 
cisely similar to one he bought for Martha, and a 
handsome gold pencil, which he intended as a gift, 
for Richard. 
With these laudable resolutions and generous 
presents, Lionel returned home at night, joyfully 
anticipating the blessing which should follow a vis¬ 
ible action. But, most unfortunately, Martha and 
Maria had been quarreling all day, and even the 
children had begun to imbibe the poison of ill-will, 
and show their spite towards each other. 
When Lionel produced the figs he called all the 
children to him, and chose some of the nicest to 
give to little Lizzie, Richard’s youngest child. 
“Come, my dear,” said he, “I have got some¬ 
thing for you.”—[To be continued.

young heart. 
“ You have been wickedly cruel,” he said, bitterly. 
“ If I have been cruel,” ehe rejoined, “have I not 
also been just V” 
Again he gave her that pained, wondering look, 
that resolved itself into the words— 
“ Was it just to lure me on with your tempting 
smiles, and win my love but to cast it at my feet iu 
disdain ?” 
“ Have you forgotten a simple girl away in your 
native village, whose love yon won by tender words 
and fond attention, but which you cared not enough 
for to ar-k it in maniy honor?” she questioned, with 
a sudden fierceness. “ Kittt Lewellyn loved you 
once, hut Ehe was nothing to you, then, and now 
you are nothing to her!" 
Graham Eston went out from her presence feel¬ 
ing that his punishment was deserved. But it was 
none the less severe, on that account. The one 
great passion of his life had sprung mto existence, 
and it would not lightly be put aside. He left the 
Crescent city, and traveled northward, but wher¬ 
ever he went, the words—” Kittt Lewellyn loved 
you once”—rang in his ears, like a sad echo, and 
her sweet face appeared ever before him, wearmg 
the same look of scorn that it wore when the words 
were spoken. 
BT HOWARD THURSTON, 
How should Kitty Lewellyn know, that balmy 
June evening when Graham Eston walked home 
with her from his own father’s house, and talked eo 
tenderly and in such a wooing tone, that he was 
only amusing himself in a manner peculiar to a cer¬ 
tain class of young men, that he cherished not the 
first warm feeling for her, and that, only a week 
previous he had figuratively laid his hand and his 
heart at the feet of a prouder beauty and the offer¬ 
ing had been graciously accepted ? 
Kitty Lewellyn was youDg and unsophisticated, 
and had many things to learn. She cherished some 
tender sentiments for dashiug Graham Eston; many 
times of late had her foolish little fluttering heart 
betrayed to her its secret. This state ol things was 
not at all remarkable. The young gentleman alluded 
to was attractive among the ladies; had just that 
half-familiar half-respectful air with him which so 
wins upon their confidence and affections. He had 
met Kitty often, during her calls upon his sister, 
Belle Eston ; had remarked that she was extremely 
pretty, though rather shy; and had taken pleasure 
in studying her occasionally, as he termed it. 
For a young gentleman of Eaton’s ability to un¬ 
dertake the study of a young nature like that of 
Kitty Lewellyn, is always dangerous. The pres¬ 
ent instance was no exception to the general rule. 
Eston’s study, though possibly not intended for 
that purpose, quite won the young girl’s love, and 
during their walk home on that balmy evening the 
tremor in her voice, and in the arm that leaned on 
his, told the old, old story very loudly. Graham 
was going away on the morrow, to be absent two 
years, at least, and this was to be his farewell. She 
hoped he would breathe his love more fully than he 
had yet done,—it would be so pleasant to get his 
letters, and to write him, during his absence. You 
see she believed he did love her. All the meaning¬ 
less little tendernesses he had spoken and mani¬ 
fested had sunk very deep into her trusting heart. 
They were euough for her; faith and a first affec¬ 
tion thought them capable of but one translation. 
Eston took leave of her upon the porch, where 
the honeysuckle blossoms gave out a dainty per¬ 
fume, with neither more nor less show of affection 
than was usual with him. He left her to go and 
enjoy his last evening with his betrothed, while 
poor Kitty, truer of heart than she, indulged in a 
long crying spell out under the large apple tree, 
where of a summer eve, she most liked to sit. 
It was many weeks before this sweet dream of 
love that Kitty held had its awakening. She framed 
a hundred excuses for his not openly declaring him¬ 
self, or at least saying he should write; and con¬ 
sidered him so true that she vowed many times to 
herself to remain true, to him ever, until his return. 
She was a very foolish little Kitty, certainly, but 
there arc others just like her. 
One day Kittt was with Belle Eston. Belle’s 
discernment was not the quickest, and she had no 
suspicion of Kitty’s feelings toward her brother. 
Much as Kitty desired to hear from Graham, she 
would not herself turn the conversation upon him, 
but when Belle mentioned some incident of his 
travels she asked — 
“ So you have heard from him recently, have 
you?” 
“Last week, through Florence Percival,” was 
the reply. 
“ And does he write to her often ?” queried the 
trembling little Kitty. 
“ O, yes. They’re engaged, you know.” 
Poor Kitty l It was a hard blow for her! She 
shed a good many tears over it, just as an artless 
girl of but sixteen years naturally would. Then 
pride—for she was wonderfully proud, for a little 
thing like her—came to herald, and she determ¬ 
ined to forget Graham Eston utterly. 
A year passed away, and her determination to 
forget had worked its desired cure. She thought 
of the handsome trifler occasionally, still, but not 
in the old way, and was as light-hearted as in the 
glad days when she believed his love all her own. 
Another year went by, and Florence Percival 
grew weary of waiting longer for her accepted 
lover’s return, or found a more congenial hand and 
heart at her service, and became Mrs. Blessmer. 
At the end of the fourth twelvemonth Kitty left 
her New England home, and went southward, to 
spend the winter with a friend in the Crescent city. 
She was an unsophisticated little Kitty no longer, 
but a woman well versed in the heartless forms of 
society, self-reliant as a queen, who could play her 
part iu perfect security a game of hearts, and 
enjoy it with a zest. .Such transformations there 
are, ia womankind, between sixteen and twenty! 
From the honr of Kitty’s entree into New Or¬ 
leans society, she was an acknowledged belle, and 
the center always of an admiring coterie. Her friend 
•was a widow lady of wealth, Who took pride in 
Kitty’s success, and did everything in her power 
to add to it.

Chapter II.—The Quarrel. 
It was on a cold afternoon in midwinter that the 
dispute —the first serious quarrel between Martha 
and Maria — took place. Lionel and Richard had 
been at. work all day, drawing logs outof the woods; 
and at night, unharnessing their teams together, 
they returned to the house, walking slowly side by 
side. 
“ I calculate we shall move into the new house 
early next fall,” said Lionel. “ Our work gets on 
famously. We shall have everything ready for the 
carpenters in two months, and the masons can build 
the cellar-wall as soon as the frost is out of the 
ground.” 
“ The women are getting on finely, too,” rejoined 
Richard. “Now tell me, Lionel, did you ever see 
two wives, under the same roof, agree so well?” 
“Never. But it is no wonder. Martha would 
sooner give up everything to Maria, than quarrel 
with her.” 
“ And Maria feels the same towards her.” 
With these words on iris lips, Richard opened the 
door. The wives were sitting in the position in 
which we left them. 
“ How happens this ?” said Lionel. “ The table 
is not set” 
“Maria, how have you forgotten yourself so?” 
asked the mild Richard. “ You usually get supper, 
I believe?” 
“ 1 always have till to-night,” said Maria, flushing 
very red. “For two months I have set the table 
three times a day, without a word. Now I think it 
is time somebody else should set it.” 
As Martha knew very well who was meant by 
somebody else , she said quickly, 
“I don’t know what this means, I am sure, 
Maria has always wauted to set the table, because 
she doesn’t want to sew all day; and as 1 can sew 
faster than she can, lhave left the duty to her.” 
“I don’t understand this trifling,” said Lionel, 
sternly. 
“ Nor I,” replied Richard, biting his lips. 
“ Come, brother, let us set the table ourselves.” 
Maria had now reflected long enough on the folly 
of what she was doing to be heartily ashamed of 
her conduct. She felt, that she ought to have set 
the table, but pride had sustained her; and now, 
before she could leave her chair, Martha, who knew 
perhaps how much a little condescension at such a 
time would speak in her favor, and to Maria’s dis¬ 
advantage, quietly arose, and put away her work. 
“1 am sure,” said she, “I would rather set the 
table than not. It is much pleasanter than sitting 
all day, and 1 would have had supper all ready by 
this time, if I had not supposed somebody else pre¬ 
ferred to do it.” 
“Maria, what does this mean?” demanded Rich¬ 
ard, impatiently. 
Wounded pride, anger and shame struggled in 
Maria’s breast, until she burst into tears. 
“I have been trodden upon and insulted long 
enough!" she sobbed. 
“Troddenupon and insulted!” echoed the impet¬ 
uous Lionel, with a frown. “By whom? Not by 
Martha, I know. Come, sisters! have done with 
this nonsense! 
“Brother,” replied Richard, in a suppressed voice, 
“ it is not for yon to judge and condemn my wife. 
See —she weeps —and she would not weep for 
nothing." 
“ Fudge!” said Lionel,with a gesture of irritation.

With Noah’s group, into the ark I passed, 
But not, with Daniel, in the den was cast; 
Into the fiery furnace I did go, 
With Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego. 
Without my help, was lofty Babel made; 
Nor did the golden call receive my aid; 
But yet, of every altar I’m a part, 
And every prayer that rises from the heart. 
With Moses iu the wilderness was I, 
But not with Enoch carried to ihe sky; 
Was in tbo rushes, too, where Moses lay, 
And in the harp that David loved to play. 
Although I ne'er had hand in making pills, 
Without my aid, no doctors cure your ills; 
Though part of every sermon I must be, 
There is no room in any pew for me.

The sun shines brightly down the glen, 
And the winding river gleams, 
Clear as the joyous song of birds. 
By Fhaded forest streams. 
The pure air breathes on every leaf, 
With sweetest fragrance fraught, 
Like a mother's blessing on her child, 
Or the poet’s purest thought.
