I shall not repeat what was safd, but all that my step-tnothor had told father was proved to be false. Harvey refused to consider my en- El%nmflll broken until he tould see my father, ut 1 had little hope that he wounld relent. O the -future! tho future! how dreary it looked, and how dreary it has proyen to be. ‘Tio weeks after the receipt of father's letter wo salled for America. When we reached New York, Mr, Ellis and bis son left us, with the understanding that Harvey should come to sce m§ father In a few days. iy step-mother, I found, was a remarkalilv but I think she was the most disagrecable person I ever met, Her children were also bandsome, but fortunately nelther of them possessed her unpleasant dis- position. The cllldrenand Isoon grew to be tirm fricnds, and for many years they bave been the light of my e{en. Harvey came at the appointed time, and had a long talk with father, and, when {t was over, he Ieft the house without eec‘ug me. I received a note from him the next day, saying that father had rcfused to give his consent, and had forbid- den him to ace me again. Hesald that business would take him abroad once more, but that lic should ever consider himself bouud to me, and should always cherish the hope thst some thne we might be reunited, The day on which Harvey started for Europe my father met with an accldent which rendercd hitn helpless for the rest of his life. At his request I undertook to arronze his businces affairs. I found them fu a state of great con- handsome woman; fuslon. e had been speculating, and had Jost: large sums ol money,~—so large that, when everything was settled, we had very little lett to llve upon. Mra. Randolph had married my father solely for his money; and, when he last it, and was rendercd powerless to obtain more, her grief knew no bounds. My father needed the greatest care and at- tention, aud I tried—though I am afrald with “u. il success—to be fu every way a comfort to lin, « And now the clouds gathered more closely about me, and the storm beat metcllessty upon my uncovered head. The ship 1o which Harvey sailed had gone down with all on hoard. Dr. Abbott, our furnily-physiclan, brought me the newe, and, for the first timo fn my le, I faint- cd. He worked over me- for hours, and ot Jast restored me to con. sciousnear, 1 sald much then of which I am sure I have sincercly repented. 1 scolded the good old doctor for not lctting me die: I asked hitn how he could be so crucl as to bring me back to life and wretchedness; and, after showerlng upon Lim a torrent of ahuse, Ilnpsed acain”into unconsciousness. But his efforts to restore me were as untiring as be- fore; and, when he succeeded, I struguled hard to hide my sorrow and go quletly about my dutles,—and I was partially successful, The excitoment atteudant upon my father's accldent and the loss of his fortune brought on my step-mother o loog fit of sjckness, which ended in death, She besought me at the last to rare for her children, and I promised to do all that I coutd for them. A year dragged slowly by, and at Its close we found oursclves with scarcely enough to sup- port us anuther twelvemonth, unicss we sold our home, and that was not to be thought of, I obtained my father's consent to open & school; the house was so large .that be could not be disturbed by the noise, and our fricnds were glad to send their children to me, so my school s00n hecame & prosperous one. Ten summers aud winters succeeded each other, and still we four lived togetiier: but, while the next summer wasyet voung, my father lefs us. He seemed to care morg for me the lust yesr of his life than he ever did Lefore: and he told me, only a few days beforc he died. that T had been to him all a daughter could be to a father, Thbilip entered_college o few months after father's death.
