Elwood Marshall was a young "inn of prepossessing opprsrnnce. and Uie master of an satple fortune Having often met Arion In ihe circles among which ■he formerly moved, was eutranrcd wilh ber loveliness, charmed with her wit, and loved her as deeply as his selfishness, which formed ljte predominant frntorof his character, would permit; hoi knowing lhat the hand of Arion coold ' never be obtaiodd without coercive measures, formed the unkind plan to reduce Mr. Clifton, i f It were possible, to the farthest extremity, and then to offer him at a favorable moment, the use^ol all his wealth, if he would secure biif his daughter in rosrri«g"-. Having set himself lo this work, be proceeded at firsl with the greatest caution It was ifhw about ihr middle of Pdcember, 1864 • hen one evening, ss I . . ther, mother and oor Arion sal in iheir little parlor, around a bright coal fir-, Mr. Clifton was relating t > them that be bad that dsy met Mr Gr.hatn, a aealtby mevch'Ot, who had kindly offered io take him in partner>liip with the small capital which slill r-mo n. d J o him ; "and" continued Mr Chfton.^in ■iderution of my hosiues- .xp-rtrnc-." Just at this moment t. ey w- re sisrtied by the noise of s carrisge driving up io their door. The occupants alighted, t • rang ihe bell, and were uahered in by Mr Clifton, ihej proving to be a pary of iheir gay friends of yorw, who, after •alnting the f.iuily and -aking oil their wrappings prepared io inske th-ius- 1-e* at home. Ariou and her mother looked on in aor; rise ; and their astonishment j was still m«re increased, when earn- g after carriage stopi-ed, and the parties walked boldly in aa soon as poli'eneaa would permit. Mr and Mrs Clifton escaped up »t Irs, and were ebonly aft r ; ward joined by Ariou, who exclaimed, "Mother, what can It mean f ae have loaned no cards." • Perhaps, Arion," remarked the fa- , ther, "it la • hat it eallrd 'a surprise I pant.'" "It is justly named." laughingly re plied Arion ; "how-v. r. we will -throw j open the parlor and aittlng-room do..r*. j • and • akc them as welcome aa possible " Now there ia nothing wrong in a surprise party, but Elwood Marshall had ■tarted this one with malicious intentions, knowing that Mr. Clifton had. •ioee the lose of the chief pert of his fortune, been living on the remsinder, increasing it only now and then by acting M clerk lo aome tired man who wished to rocroit his health, or writing notes for lawyers. Elwood Marshall also knew that Mr. Graham, in consideration of Mr. Clifton's bnsiness worth, hid consented to eceept him as partner, feeling that bit prudence and economy ' wpuld soot render the firm the most j prosperous one in the city "And," Marshall srguod to himself, | "if I can manege to bring about this •orprise party, and the same night cause Mr. Graham to pass by the boose, and * see It filled to overflowing w itb company, he would naturally arrive at the conclusion that the Clifton family were extra vsgaal, and cons-qiienily as a man of regular basinets habits would undoubtedly retract bis generous offer, leaving Mr. CliflOB io hit present condition.

Hiving once bten ejected by Arion In j wealth, rhipf in poverty ahe will look " j npou me more favorably." r By ingeniously calling npon Mr Gr»- ; ham, and hinting that the gentleman who lived in the house adjacent to the ' , one in .hi.h Me Clifton resided, had,' some building lots to sell ni_|-rj ud*eni»g ous prices, lie arou -i d the evsricr <if the merchnn ; and left wfth thr agree- , menl ihst he (Marshall) should c>ll and » r-qa-st the gentleman to grant his presence to his friend at nine o'clock, w- II knowing that was -the time the party : were to assemble. II s'cnlcrfatioot were 1 - not doomed to disappointment % Mr Grabaui called at iho -ppob-ted time, and wh.t <m bis surprise to see csrflag-s drawing up h. f-re twq^door ••( • bis poor friend Clifton. litq^gpib-" v being atonord, mure atiemi^wss paid lo the assembly than to the lots he had ' come io purchase ; and on leaving, bis . mind was fully made up to form no con- ; •ruct with one who would be so ex ra- ' vagwnt and yet se-rned to be so poor. Judge of Mr." Clifton's anguish the, orxi morning wht-n be received a brief note from Mr Graham, telling him of the vacancy in the firm be'ng filled, end touting at his extravagance being lt)v cause. He sileutly banded the note to i ' kis wife who was more puu ed than htm- | self To have the charge of wont of j ' economy brought sgnin/T them was utore ' 1 than she could uudcrs/aiid. 1 "What will- we d</ wife 7" exclaimed 1 Mr. Clifton, sorrdw fully ; "I bad de- i pt- tilled solely on 11H4." " ' ' Trust in God," calmly replied Mrs 1 Cliftuu. a1 CIIAITKH IT. [ , ■ Arion, one day, sal gazing sadly oat 1 , i into the street, 014} cogitating upon their 1 1 altered circumstances. So occupied was « she in Iter musings, that her (.liter's en- > rsnce was uubeeded until bis hand . ; re.ied caresaingly upon her head a d l the will known voice said, "Wbat ia my | se.-child thinking 7" , On tiring thua oddrrssi-d, she rwtsrd | her l.rge blue rye* to his, rxelaiiuing, r ' "F.lber, can 1 not do something to les- , sen thr we glit which is brariug on you - so hiBtily. I could give drawing or r music lessons. S»y, father, shall I not ) make the attempt 7" I A look of tenderness crept "into thr eyes of Mr Clifton, as tie said in trmi- - tiling tones, "God bless my sea-bird, ! aud may she ever be the bright whisI perei of hope in b»r father's ears." ) About three o'clock ia the afternoon , ol that d iy, as Mr. Clifton sat copying j r ni-te» for one of the di-tin uished lawF yets of Washington, a young man was r announced who proved to br no other r than El »od Marshall, and without any . preliminary r- marks 'commenced tellogt i his errand : t "Mr Clifton " be- begin, "yun have1 a Imrbaind daughter I love b tier than | s my lite, although she has ••ore refused . me. yet lean not re-'gn. the hope of II winning her. Give her lo me. and I mil place the whole of my fortune at I, your dispos«!..iiot cariiig how nor to, r j what mannrr foo 0m- it so that I may I j have 1 he privilege of calling Arion, wife. ! - With my fortune of half a million, yon i e j can again commence tiusiness, and make , the reoioinder of yoor life rhnerful and happy." v j He eewscd ; strange emotions and f. el , 1. lugs had passed through that /father's ! " heart. Should he do it ? Mr Marshall ; - was rich, handsome, of good pareutsgr, i e-erythtng in fact, to outward appear- - ance, which be may be proud of in a j . son ; aud then, why should Arion live 1 - the life marked ool for herself— simply - tu cherish and npurish lbs love which : t h.d once made her life one long sou- ' 1 shiny day. And by accepting thia offer, j s she woald be saving him, and cause ber- j n self to forget the 'missing one.' whg in - Oil probability was lying on some and known battlefield Then be remrmber'd ! • the words apoken by Arion io the morn1 1 ing : "Tell me. lather, what I can do to 'i lesaea your weight of trouble " These i thoughts psssed swiftly through bis f. mind ; and on Mr Marshall's ceasing to is 1 speak, he rose and answered, "I feel ' truly thankful, Mr. Marshall, for your d ; kind offer, and will consider npon it, F, | giving at y answer end htr's a week, from '- . to-day in my house " Mr Elwood Marshall turned away if with glad, triumphant fceling-v.

1 night, he entered ihe parlor and dssirrd i i-i Funny to go and inform Arion that he 1 wii-bed to speak to her a lew moment Wh .t"was it caused the |ia'e cheek to flush oi>d thr heart to beat *•> psiiifullt ? ►-It must have been s presentiment of coming evil, fir never before had Ario-'s • elep been lagging when that faiher'v vo re w«a heard or wish made known Sh- 'panted a few m-mints w the en'1 trance, then walked slowly in, and ! crouched upon a stool at his feet. She looked op in his face with nn inquiring j look, as if ahe dreaded 10 let her- bps | wak the cause of I lie summon*. ; The courage of the lather uln.o.t f.rj took him, but calling op all the- re.-.ln- ' tins he poss-ssed, h>- said in quick *hur [J r ed voice, at if he wished th task be had undertaken over: , "Arion. you know I am s inking 1 man ; you also remember you' word' "I . ; uf this morning, asking me 10 tell you what you could do to help me, I will now tell yon.

Will yoo accept the terms and render your .father bappy, or blindly cling to a love whicb can never be of | any good result 7" 'j Ariou rejoined silent. Mr. Clifton, after waiting for several ; minutes, said io sterner tones tbsn he had ever before used to his beloved daughter, "Arion, arise and tell me ! what you have to say " Then she rai«ed her drooping head, brushed away the'tear drops, and springI ing to Iter feet, with anger in her eye*, j said, "And is it you. father, ihst would sell your child for gold 7 yon w o have ! hitherto been so kind and good 7 I* it .j yua trhu iirufeMea. to lovr.
