CET THE EVENING STAR. LOSSES AND GAIN. ([CONTINUED.] Mr. Grainger unlocked the desk, andremoved the pepers witha deliberate and reverential hand, passing each packet to me that I might glance over its contents. Very weary and sad I feit before the task was over, which at last brought us to tpe conclusion that Hen- had failed in his om, and no trace of ‘owland (Grainger had been discovered in Sydney. Mr. Grainger went alone to commn- micate the result of pur-search to his sister and Miss Yardley, and the intelligence ap- ‘d to give them unmingled sutis‘action, Ker both addressed me pleasantly when I joined them; and Lavinia in particular, when Mr. Grainger was absent, displayed an exuberance | of. spirits which went far to dissipate my awe and shyness. Still, through all the winter, while the sever- ity of the climate imprisoned ms, I felt mysetf | @p alien in this very orderly, and somewhat eeremonious and formal household. In Mis; Grainger’s estimation, I was 2questionabie aud suspicions inmate of it, needing 4 very strict guryeiilance, lest I should be conuected wit some “gang,” visions of whom floated befor her apprehensive mind dy and night. I chat. ed and fretted under her prying vigilanc: ceedingly until the spring came to free me, and my Cousin Humphrey made me his spe- eial charge and companion in this unfretted out-dcor life, which suited me tenfold betier ex. | ment which had existed between them from her cradle. It was this lnsteentencethat lashed Mier cams ner sabe Oey and ever afterwards rankled in ber mind. «Base creature!” she exclaimed; “itis too tree. I have known her from her very cradle, but I never could have believed this. Away with euch women! They are not fit to live. Providence! When anybody does & mein, dis- graceful, villainons action, they lay tae blame on Providence. I have no patience. © Mra. Harry, is it possible that such & womaa can be found on English soil!’ I was ashamed to discover in my own heart a latent, hardiy acknowledged sense of 8: faction, notat all sympathetic with Hamphry’ unhappiness, but which enables me to join most cordially in all Miss Grainuger’s censures: and as nothing has a more reconciling tendency than 3 thorough unison of artipathy and re- seniment against enother, the false-hearted Invinia beceme the bond of union between us. Ali the morning we mourned over Humpore: and wept compassicnating tears, until, both of us glowing anxious about him, Miss Grainger requested me. as a privileged intruder, to ven- ture boldly into his presence. ‘The library was empty; but the window Was open, and 1 passed tarough itinto the park, where the hay was being made.

Miss Yardley received his homage with a coy coldness very well befitting it; and I, with my impatience and restlessness of life, wondered how long such a courtship could be carried on. It wes not te contirue long aiter my arrival, which had teen such 4 crisis tn their uneveat- fui liver.
