CHAPTER II. Of course the reader understands that Fma@d- erick Harlowe and Mary are deeply, irretriey- ably in love with each other by this time The poor clerk has won his way to the heart of the fair girl, and she, poor gZ, has been captivated by the manly attractions, the nuble soul of him who offsred incense before her shrine. As the world goes it would be deemed a very wicked thing fora poor olerk to fall in love with the daughter of his aristocratic em- ployer. Some people would say it was un- grateful in him thus to spirit away the affec- tions of a confiding girl, when his position and roapects did not warrant his assuming to be er pavaad: These a are still open to the casuist. He may debate them to his entire satisfaction. Mr. Danvers, either because he was more sen- sible than the majority of the aristocratic merchants of the day, or for some other equal- ly potent reason, neglected to make any fuss about the matter, and suffered the clerk to woo and win his daughter, without even re- monustrating against the base wickedness of ears hi: deepl, ed by h ut Sophia was dee iev y her sis- ter’s folly, as she teciapl and used all the argument in the range ef ber shallow sophis- try to dissuade her from the folly and madness of wedding a clerk. Mary was obstinate. The only excuse she offered fn palliation of the flagrant misde- meanor, was that she loved him, and if she loved a seavenger she would cling to him with the lost breath she was permitted to draw. “A ‘ring?’ exclaimed Sophia, one day, when niatters appeared to have taken ade cided turn I “Well, well, I suppose you are e1 hs “We are, a replied i with a face radiant with happiness. ' “And you intend to be married ?”” “Certainly we do—thatisthe end of an en- gagement.”” ““My conscience? to think that the daughter of a merchant prince should become the wife of a r, insignificant clerk.’’ “Nothing very alarming about it, Sophia; it wouldn’t be half so ridiculous as another daughter of a merchant prince becoming the wife of an ex-journeyman barber! I believe Mr. Fitzherbert was your beau ideal of what a fashionable husband ought to be.” “The impostor!” ‘I am at least sure that Frederick is not an impostor—a bumbug; one would not be likely to assume the character of a clerk.’ “Perhaps not. But pray, sister, when do you intend te become the wife of this counting room cherub ’”” “The day has not been fixed yet—in the spring, probably.” “And may I ask what you intend to do with yourself’ His salary is only a thousand dollars a year.”’ “We can get along very well on that sum.” ‘* Yes, I suppose 80; and live in some ten- footer in a dark alley !”’ “We intend to live out of town, in a nice little cottage.’’ “ ¥-e-#, a nice little cottage!’ drawled So phia in derision. ‘Oh, Sis, I will show how to live when I am married. None of your nice little cottages for me. But I won- der when the new partner is coming?” “Papa told me this morning. that he had deferred the arrangement till next spring, and that the gentleman would attend to bis busi- bess at the south as heretofore!” “How provoking! 4 have been reserving my affections on purpose for him; I mean to make a ecnguest of him in just one month!” “How foolish you talk, Sophia; one would rie you had entirely forgotten your maiden elicacy “Pooh! I'm jesting; its between us,” and ; Sophia relapsed into a reverie, which, wo are almost sure, related to the aforesaid new part- ner, who was not only a nive young man, but was to put fifty thousand dollars into the con- cern when he became a partner. EVENING STAR. MABRYLNG A CLERK. CHAPTER I. “The contemptible little jacksnaps! he had the audacity to ask me to whist with ook eben boo to her oro oe — “And wi e not, sister ?’ Mary Danvers, calmly. ‘ Why should he not? Did he think I would demean myse!f by playing whist with a new clerk—one of my father’s servants?’ and So- phia tossed her head in disdain. «I cam see no impropriety in your associat- ing with him, Sophia. He is certainly a hand- some, intelligent, and well-behaved young man.’? **Behaves well enough, for aught I know; butonly think of it—a clerk in the drawing- room! For my part, I wonder how father could ever think of such a thing as admitting him itto the family.” “E suppose it was because he liked the looks of bim.’’ ‘What will Mr. Augustus Fitzherbert sa; when ‘he finds us associating with poor clerks? the trash of counting-rooms ! ’ «Jt mattors little to me what he thinks; he is a conceited puppy, and I wonder that you can greinee hix presence,” replied Mary, smaruy. But he is the leader of the ton, Mary,” said Sophiu, astonished at the plebeian no- tions of her sister. * He is a perfect flirt, for all that, and -in- finitely inferior in all that constitutes a man, to Mr. Harlowe, whom you affect to despise.”’ The conversxtion was interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Danvers. “How could you bring that horrible clerk into the house, papa?” said Sophia, as the merchant prince seated himself by the blazing grato. ©" Horrible clerk! pray what is the matter { with him ?*’ asked Mr. Danver's evincing } sowe surprise at the plain speech of his daugh- } ter ** Why, he’s a clerk.” “But a respectable young man.” ‘: Respectable enough, but not fashionable, apa ie.

Sophia laughed heartily at the idea of a poor clerk being an angel. ‘But what says Mary?” asked the mer- ant turning to his gentle-hearted daughter. Uh, L like him very much; we are pyres f ds,”’ replied Mary, and a slight blus eeme | to emphasize the remark. «Just like ber, papa; I should not wonder if she got head over heels in love with your mercantile angel.” ‘+ She must do as she pleases about that,” returned Mr. Danvers, smiling. ‘Pooh, Sophy! who said a word about falling in love!

Tne proud sister, though in the natu- ral goodness of her heart she would not have had Mary’s affections blighted, would fain have had a opposition to save appear- ances. The bridal day came, and after the cere- mony had been performed, the happy party started for their new residence in the suburbs Sophia, who acted as bridesmaid, was to ac- company them The carriage wound through an elm-shaded road, and suddenly brought to view a splendid country residence. ‘* Taat is the cottage,’’ exclaimed the bride. “What -acottage' why, Mary, it is a pal- ace!’’ replied Sophia, in utter a: tonishment, for she never had interest enough in her sis- ter’s affairs to visit her seaaagery residence.

But Frederick is so very odd about these things.” ‘I should think that he was. Why, Sis, it will certainly ruin him, a poor clerk, on a thousand doliars salary,’ ‘Well, he knows best; he says the rent is nothing ”’ “Nothing, indeed; but it will eat up his poor pittance.” * Well, I gave him a lesson on extravagance, but he only laughed in my face, and said he knew what he was about.’ “ But here are Frederick and father; Iam sure papa bas been scolding him for his reck- lessness.”” h the scolding s abominable, I declare!

With her tather’s permission, Mary -aczept- ed an invitation from Frederick to attend Al- boni s last concert. They had scarcely left the house before Mr. Augustus was ushered into the sitting- room. This gentleman was an exquisite of the first water. In his personal appearance he certainly was sufficiently well endowed to challenge the admiration of the fair sex; but unfortunately he was sadly lacking in that necessary element ina man of sense—brain. Sophia could scareely refrain from express- ing tue contempt she felt for the journeyman barber in “‘Mufti.’’ “The leader of the **ton,”? in her estimation, was a ruined man, The dandy, as a matter of courtesy, inquired for Mary, and was informed that she gone tothe ooncert with Mr. Harlowe, “With Mr. Harlowe—a clerk—aw?” said the ex-jourxeyman barber, with a sneer, as he eyined up the long rat-tail of his mous- tache. ** He does not look a3 thoi had produced a very powerful effect,” said Mary, as sho saw her husband's smiling coun- tenance. ‘ What a beautifal house!’’ exclaimed So- phia, as Frederick joined the group. ‘A fit nest for my pretty bird,” replied the husband gaily, as he chuckled his blushing wife under the chin. “I should think your thousand dollars a yest would have to suffer some,” said Sophia, autly. “0, your father has been so very good as to elevate mea peg, so that I can well afford to incur the expense.’” ‘+ Yes, my child,”’ interposed Mr. Danvers, you know I said something about entertain- ing an angel unawares.
