sweetest when the family circle have yathered
around the evening-lamp; perhups it cannot bat

appreciate the more their household dastings:

Dear, patient Jolin, who loves me yet,
As well as tho’ my locks were jet,—
And when I found that I must speak,

“T will give
A house and land while you shall live,
If, in retarn, from out your seven,
One child to me for aye is given.’

T looked at Jolin's old garments worn,

T thought of all that Jolin had borne,

Of poverty, and work, und care,

Which I, though willing, could not share.

T thought of seven mouths to feed,
Of seven little children’s meal;

(Continued)
CHAPTER IT,

Oxr morning Mr. Agnew appeared dress-
ed for a journey, wished Evelyn good-bye,
and was goue bc fore she could recoyor from
her surprise. She sought her father, but
he was from home, and en his return she
addressed him anxiously.—'Is My, Agnew
coming back, papa?” she asked.

“No, my chili,” he replied; ‘it surely
can make no diilerence to yeu, for you
have searecly spoken to him for the last
mouth,

“Tt does make a difference,” said Eve-
lyn, ‘Sand you ought to have consulted
me, for Lean never get on without him,
Oh, papa, how could you send dear old
Mr. Agnew aay ?—it was crucl. Where
ean he go?”

“ Never mind, love,” said her father,
“Til take care of him. You niust prepare
for the new tutor to-morrow.

«Lam so sorry.” said Evelyn, ‘* I don't
want anew tutor, I like dear old) Mr.
Agnew. I shall not like the new tutor; I
know L shall hate him.”

«There is no eceasion for you to like
him, dear,” said the squire.‘ You must
keep all your love for Stanhope Gorddn
You know you promised me, my little
Evelyn.”

‘The old squire held up her pouting face
between his hands and kissed it; but Eye-
lyn was far [vom satisfied, She colored at
the name of Stanhope Gordon, ske dread:
ed it—in fact, she hated it. And her nurse
told her too she was quite sure her fortune
was his object, and she firmly believed it,

“know IT shall hate the new tutor,
Poor old Mr, Agnew! I shall never like
avother many and [detest Stanhope Gov.
don. Nothing shall ever induce me to
marry him—horrid, mereenary creature 1?

These were Evelyn's thoughts that night
ere she slept.

‘The new tutor had_ arrived, Evelyn
knew it, but she was determined not ‘to
mike her appearance uatil dinner time,so
hurt did she feel at the treatment of her
old friend. She searcely looked up when
her father presented the stranger @o her,
But the new tutor was no quiet, pliinty-
attired, elderly gentleman ; he was a hand-
some, tall, well-dressed young man, and
yery soon our heroine was obliged to ac-
knowledge this, — Ie took his place at the
dinner-table, and commenced with that

family than that assembled beneath Syuire
Grantly’s roof can well be imagined,

Two months thus passed away, when
news of Stanhope Gordon’s serions illness
arrived, which, of course, for a time post-
poned his intended visit. The Squire
looked grave and troubled, but the wick

some beautiful flower or stately tree
perhaps to examine some curious cr
plant.

Ly this time some things had acquired
more than ordinary interest, for they would
slop not unfrequently before a grotto, an
arbour, or the gnarled root of an old tree;
doubtless happy associations were con-
nected with them, for G orge Merton
would look lovingly down on the young
girl who contidingly hung on his aym,and
smilingly they would couverse together,
Lhe old grotto was apparently their fa-
vorite spot, for they more frequently visil-

between his daurhter and heiress anJt his
ward's tutor. It may be, simple and in-
novent himself, he was slow to suspect
wrong or guile in any pe. He and his
young ward often surprised then in tl
wanderings, but neither party betrayed
the slightest embarrassment.

“Sure the poor man's gon would be

Then the old nurse would sigh, and wipe
the tears from her eyes, and wonder what
would be the end of it all.
