HENRY AND CAROLINE: OII, I‘ILIAL LOVE REWARDBD. " My tub.I is simple, and of hiimblo birth, A tribute of respect to real worth." " You are too parsiuomous, Henry," said Mr. D———. to one of his clerks, as thcy were together in the counting-house, one morning; “ give me leave to say that you do not dress sullicieiitly genteel to appear as it. clerk in ii fashionable store.“ llarry's cheek was suffused with a deep blush, and in spite of his endeavors to suppress it, a tear trembled on his manly check. “Did I not know that yum-salary was siiflicicnt to provide more genteel liabilimonts,“ continued Mr. I) “I should increase it." “My salary is sufficient, amply stifli- cioiit, sir,” rcplicd lIciiry, iii a voice choked with emotion. but with that proud inde- pendence of feeling which poverty had not bcei 'hli‘. to divest him of". Ills cin- ployt-r noticed his agitation and iuiniedi- iitcly changed the subject. Mr, D—- was a man ofimmeiiss wcnlth and bciicvolciicu; ho was a widowvr illHl had but one child, ii daughter, who was the pride of his dccliiiing years. She was not as beautiful as an aiirrel, or its perfect as a mans; but the gum mm, the inno- cciiec, the intelligence of'lier mind, shone in her countenance, and you had but I. become acquainted with lioi'.to admire her Such was Caroline Dolaucy, when Ilciii'y first bccnmo an initiate of her father's house. Nowomlcr he semi worshipped :it lll‘l' shrine—no wonder he soon loved her with it deep and devoted attachment—- and, reader, had you known him, you would not have wondered that that love was soon returned, for their souls Were congo» iiial; they were cast in virtiie‘s purest mould—and although their tongues never gave utterance to what their licsrl's loll. yet the language of their eyes was too plain to bc iiiisuiidci‘stood. Henry was the very soul of" honor; and althouin he pcrccivedwith ilcasurc that he was not altogether iiid'i 'crcnt to Caroline, he felt as though he night control the passion thal governed his I) soin. “I must not en- deavot‘f. win horyoulig‘ and autism heart.“ tliutip‘bthc, “ I am pciiiiilcss and cannot expect that. hi'i' father would consent to our union—ho ball over treated me with kindness, and I will not be. iiiw'atehil.‘ Thus he reasoned, and thus hero ally oii- dcai tired to subdue what hc considered on ill-fated passion. Caroline had many suit (ll'S, and f’iilly_\vorthy of her; but she re— fllSL'll all llll'fliitlvt‘l'llll’l's with a. gciitli: get decisive lii'iiiiicss. Her father wondered at her conduct, yet could not thwart her inclination. He was in the decline of life and wished Io see, her happily settled ere lie qllllft‘ll the state of existence. It was not long 0111 be suspected 'liat young Henry was the cause of her indifference to others; the evident pleasure she took in licsriii him praised. the blush that overspth her cheeks whenever their eyes met, all served to convince flio old gentleman, who had not forgotten that he was once young: him- self, that they fell iiioretliau common iii» turret in each otht-r‘u welfare. Ile foreboi'c making any remarks on the subji-i-i, but was not as displeased at the siippodiiou as fllll‘ peiinilcss Ilcni'y would have iiiiagiii- er . Ilciii'y had been about a your in his eni- pluy. lh-Iaiicyknewiiothiiigul'liisl'iiiiiily. but his strict integrity, his irrrprnsi-liabli- morals,bis pleasing manners, all conspired to make him esteem him hi lily. lie was Corner of Clinton Street - - - - ~ BOSTON in dress, as well as iiiniincrs, as respect- able as any one. He had often wondered at the scantiiiess of his wardrobe, for Il- tliough be dressed with the most scrupu- lous regard to iieatuess, his clothes were almost threadbare. Mr. I)—— did not wish to think that this proceeded from a iiiggardly disposition, and be determined to breach the subject, and if possible, as- certain the real causo; this he did in the manner before related. Mr. D—— left home on business. As he was returning, and riding through a beau- tiful little village, ho alighted iii. the door of'n. little cottage and requested a drink. The mistress, with an case and politeness that convinced him that she had not always been the humble cottager, invited him to enter. IIe accepted her invitation—and here a scene of poverty and neiitriess pre- sented itself, such aslio had never before witnessed. The furniture, which consist- ed of nothing more than was necessary, was exquisitely neat so that it gave charms to poverty, and cast an air of comfort all around. A venerable-looking old man, who had not seemed to notice the entrance of Mr. D , sat leaning on his stall‘; his clothes were clean and whole, but so patched, that you could scarcely have told which had been the original piece. “ This is your Father, I pi'csiiiiio,“ said Mr. l)————, addressing the mistress of the house. “ It is, sir." “ He seems to be quite aged." " He is in his eighty-third year; he has survived till his children except myself.“ h I“You have once seen better days," said e. “ I have—my husband was wealth ; but false l’I'iciidsi'uiiicdhim—lieeiidorset notes to a trgc amount, which stripped us of' nearly :ill otirpropcrty, and one misfortune followed another until we, were reduced to complete poverty. My husband did not long survive his losses, and two of my Clllllll’ell 'sooii followed him.“ “ Have you any remaining children 9" " I have one, and he is my only support. My health is so feeble that I cannot do much, and my liithcr being blind. needs reat attention. My son conceals from my uowledge the amount of his salary, but I am convinced that lie sends me nearly all, if not the whole amount of it.“ “ Then he is not wiih you .J" “ No, sir, ho is clerk for a merchant in I‘ltllll‘ICI'Plllav" “ Clerk for a merchant in Philadelphia! What is your son‘s mime P" “ Ilciiry \\'-—-—." “ Henry W——— l” reiterated Mr. D———, “why, he is my clerk! I left him at my house not a fortnight since.“ Ilero followed a succession of inquiries, which evinced an anxiety and soliciiu Is that. a. mother alone could feel; to all of which Mr. D-—- replied to her perfect satisfaction. "You know ourIIciiry?" said the old man, raising his head Iroiii hisstaff. "W01 sir, then you know as worthy ti lull as ever lived. (iod bless him for his goodness to his poor old grandfather.“ he added, in ii a treiiiulotis voice, while the tours run down his cheeks. ‘- He is a worthy fellow, to be sure," said Mr. D—, rising and placin": well- fillcd purse in the hands of the old man. “ He is a. worthy fellow and shall not want for friends.” “Noble boy,“ said he, msiitslly, as ho was riding along, ruminating on his inter- view; “ noble boy—lie shall not want wealth to enable him to distribute happi- ness. I believe he loves my girl. und if he done he shall have her, and all my pro- pcrly iii the bar aiii." Filled willi this project. and determined if possible to ascertain the true state of their hearts, he entered the breakfast-room the next morning after his arrival home. “ Henry is about to leave us to go to England and try his fortune,” he carelessly obscrvcd “ IIeiiry about to leave 1" said Caroline, dropping the Work she held in her hand—— “about to leave, us, and going to England l“ she added, in a tone ivhicli cviiiccd the deepest interest. ” To be sure; but what if he is, my child 9" “ Nothing sir, nothing. only I thought we should be rather lonesome," she re- plied, turning away to hide the tears she could not suppress. " Tell me, l‘ai'oliuc," said Mr. I)-——«, tenderly embraciu" l](.l‘, “ tell me, do you not love Heavy? Ion know I wish your happiness, my child, I have ever treated you with him aces, and you have never until now liiil anything from your father." “ Neither will I now,“ she replied, hid- ing her face in his bosom; "I do most sincerely esteem him, but do not for worlds tell him of it, for he has never said it was returned." “I will soon find that out, and without telling him, too,“ replied the father, loav- ing the room. " Henry,“ said he, as he entered the cotiiitiiig-liousr, " you expect to \‘isit the country slior v doyoii?“ “ Yes, sir, iii about a nimilh." “ Il it would Iiot be inconvenient." rc- joiiied Mr. I)»—-—, “I should like to have you del‘cr if a weak oi two longer." " It will his no im-uiiveiiicni-c sir, and if it will oblige you, I will wait with pleasure.“ "It will most certainly oblige me, for Carolina is to be married in about five weeks, and I would not miss having you attend the wedding." “ (lill'vllllll to be married, sir,“ said llciii'y, starting as if by an electric shock ——“('i|1'ollltc to be married! is it possi— bit-P“ “ To be sure it is; but what is there wonilc-rlul in that P" ” Nothing, sir. only it was rather sud- dcii—-i'alher iiucxpoclml—Ihat is all.“ “ It is rather sud-Ion, to he sure," i'r- plied Mr. ll——, “ but I am an old man, and with to are her have a protector; and as the man of Ill‘l‘ choice is well \\'orlli\ of her, I see no iiseiu waiting any longer, and am vi-iy glad that you can stay to the wedding.“ “ I cannot stay. sir, indeed I cannot,“ replied Ilcnry, forgetting what he had previously said. "You cannot!“ rejoined .\lr. Il——, “ \vlvv yotijust said you would." "You, sir, but business requires my presence in the, country, iiudl must go." H llut you said it would put you to no incouvonimice. and that you would wait proud of Henry, and wishet him to appear with pleasure.“ Soon after this conversation took place. . “Command me in anything: elsc,.~ lint in this respect I cannot oblige you." said Henry, rising and walking with rapid strides across the floor. Poor fellow l he had thou rlit his passion subdued, but when he town that Caroline was soon, so irrevocany to become niiothcr’s. the latent spark burst forth in an iiiiextiiiguished Home; and ho found it iii vain to endeavor to conceal his ciao- lion. The old gentleman regarded him with it look of earnestness. “ Henry," said he, “ tell me frankly, do you love my girl P" “ I will be candid with you sir," replied Henry, conscious that his agitation betray- ed him; " Had I a fortune such as rho merits, and as you, sir, have a right to expect, I should think uiysclfthe happiest of men, cotild I gain her love." “ Then aheis yours," cried the delighted old man ; " say not a word about property. my boy, true worth is better than riches. I was only trying you, Henry, and Caro- line will never be married to any other than yourself." The transition from despair to happi- ness was great. For a. moment, IIciii'y remained silent; but his looks spoke volumes. At last, “ I scorn to deceive you, sir," said he, “ I am poorer than what you suppose; I have a mother and grand~ father, who arc—“ ” I know it, I know it all, Henry,“ said Mr. I)—-—, interrupting him. “I know the reason of your pa.sininny, as I called it, and l honor you for it—it is that which first put it into my head to give you Can)- liiic; she shall be yours, and may God bless you both." Shortly after this conversation, IIciiry avowed his love to Caroline, and solicitcd her hand, and it is needless to say that he did not solicit in vain. Caroline would have deferred the union until the ensuing spring, but her father was inexorable. lIc supposed he should have to own one falsehood, he said. and they would willing- ly have him shoulder twu; but it was too much, and he would not endure it, he had told IIeiiry flint she was 10 be married in five weeks, and he should not forfeit his word. “ But perhaps," added he, appar- ently recollectiiig himself, and turning to Henry, “ perhaps we shall have to defer it after all, for you have important busi- ness in the country about that time." “ Bo merciful, sir," said “only, smiling. “ I did not wish to witness the sacrifice of ,,',:,‘ 9Wn happiness.” “Iain merciful.” replied the old gen-- domain, “and for that reason would not wish to put: you to the inconvenience of staying. You said that you Would wil- lineg oblige me, but you could not, in- deed you could not." " You have once been young, sir,” said lIeiiry. _ “I know it, I know it," replied lic, laugliiii heartily, “ but I am afraid too many of its old folks forget il; however, if you can postpone your journey, I stip- poso we must have a wedding." We. have only to add, that the frienth of lltflll‘y were sent for, and the nuptials soleiniiized at the ap )ointcd lime; and that blessed with filial love of Henry and Caroline, the old people passed the re- maindor of their days in peace and happi- iiess. AMERICAN LADYHOOD'EXEMPLITIED. "At the, gate of one of our beautiful rural cemeteries, a large funeral was inst catering, as our attention was called in a very remarkable sight. The bier was resting on the shoulders of fourtall, noblo- looking men, in the rims of life.
