ofils kind the drawingroom was crow ded with relations and friends on both sides dressed in congratulatory smiles and new bridal finery emetines father an cmulont city merchant and banker appeared array ed in a complete new suit for the occa sion the first doss was not off his colt which hunt stiff upon him as if no yet reconciled to the homely per son o which it was destined io belong whdo cch separate bright button re flected the collected company his countenance plowing with happiness he busied himself in attentions to hisguests provoking by his remarks those con gratulations which flattered his pride and parental fondness and with bust ling joy making the necessary prelimi nary arrangements for the ceremony a- bout to take place which was to raise his only and beloved child to that ele vated situation in life in which it had ever been the first wish of his heart to see her placed and which his partial af fection thought her so well fitted to grace mrs bensons feelings seemed of a less joyous nature and sometimes even a tear started into her eye in spite of herself when she endeavoured to smile in return to the kind wishes of her friends she was too fond a mother not to feel painfully the loss of her daughter and that feeling was not un mixed with anxiety in giving her to one of whom of late years at least she personally knew but little all were now assembled except the biide and bridegroom the father of the latter apparently as much delighted as mr benson himself with the intend ed union being of course among the company but lord fjtzhenry did not appear various conjectures were formed as to his absence one per son declared he had observed his car riage at the deoi of his lodgings as he had passed another that he was cer tain he had seen him in a distant part of the own not long before the delay was beginning to be awkward and at every distant sound of wheels both fa ther looked anxiously along the street but n vain gradually the conversation of the guests lowered itself into whispers as some now surmise was started with re gard to the possible cause of this strange absence of iho most important perso nage at so important a moment but even these whispers died away from lack of new ideas on the subject aid the now total silence was only occa sionally broken by the rustling of the clergymans surplice when he lefi his post before llie large family prayer- book laid open ready at the marriage ceremony with the benevolent wish by some commonplace observation io dissipate the unpleasant feelings which seemed to infect all present or when he followed mr benson to the window whither he had taken up his station oi observation in the hopes of being the first to give the much wished- for news of tlie approaching bridegroom poor mrs bensons cheeks became momen tarily of a dcepei and deeper dye and she betrayed her anxious agitation by the neivous twitching of the gold chain round her neck to which was suspend ed her daughters portrait and the con stant arranging of her lace shawl which she regularly each time pulled ofi her shoulders at last the welcome rattle of a carriage driving furiously was heard it stopped at mr bensons door and in a minute lord fitzhenry with a flushed cheek hurried into the drawingroom awkward as such an entrance must naturally be still his agitation seemed even beyond what the circumstances of the moment would havo been likely to produce on a young man of the world lord fitzhenry at twentyseven was remarkably goodlooking and on his countenance and whole figure was that stamp of high birth which even where beamy docs not exist more than compensates for its absence the ge neral character of his countenance was that of openness and good humour but an agitated even a melancholy expres sion now clouded it which all noticed marriage is certainly an awful ce remony whispered an elderly lady to mrs benson and i am glad to see his lordship betraying en nunit fppling and seriousness at such a moment it is a good sign in a young man the poor trembling mother scarcely heard the remark nor was there much time for more observation for mr benson had already left the room and in a few minutes returned leading in his daughter emmeline was nineteen she was slightly formed had a most winning countenance innocent laughing eyes and a delicate fair complexion although now deepened into crimson in her cheeks by the agitation of the moment as was very apparent even through the folds of the beautiful lace veil that hung all over her the marriage ceremony commenced immediately as it proceeded the bridegroom trembled violently when called upon to pronounce his vow his voice was scarcely audible and as he placed the ring on his brides hand he nearly let it fall to the ground but all was soon finally said and done so few are the words whichonce read over totally change our existence and fix our fate in life forever the usual congratulations passed and the chaise and four decorated with bridal favours rattled to the door emmeline threw herself sobbing into her mothers arms ihe first sob since those of childhood which had ever been rung from her light heart her amtsodalau gtttfy jcwvi ker cheek ad dressing her by her new title of lad v i fitzhenry then drawing her armi i within his hurried her down stairs pla ced her in the carriage into which tho bridegroom followed and the happy pair drove offas fast as four post horses couhl convey them how blank such moments are to those who remain behind the company soon separated after the usual breakfast and mr and mrs benson were left alone all excitement over the deserted mothers spirits then sank mournfully she paced the now silent room and me chanically removed from the table emetines workbox which she had left behind her gazing on her name engra ven on the lid till her tears burst forth her distress roused mr benson from the trance of exultation in which he had been lost as he watched the last bridal carriage that had driven from the door and he kindly hastened to his wife 14 why my good woman crying and on such a day when you should be so happy for shame for shame mrs benson shook her head mourn fully god grant it indeed prove a happy day may our beloved child be so and she sighed deeply 11 vvhyhow can you doubt she will said her husband she has every thing this world can give rank and he laid a great stress on that word riches youth and for a husband a most excellent and accomplished young man of whom every one speaks well none of your gamblers jockies spend thrifts i am sure emmeline and our selves are the envy of all our acquain tance any one might be pleased and proud to see his daughter so well mar ried mrs benson again sighedwiped away her tears and then quietly returned to her usnal avocations meanwhile lord and lady fjtzhen ry travelled on and a few hours brought them to arlingford hall which on his sons marriage lord arlingford had given up to him meaning to reside him self at a villa at wimbledon his health which had of late been very precari ous making a near residence to town advisable arlingford hall which was in hamp shire had been completely repaired and refurnished f t nc married couple lord 1 iizhcnry having himself been much llicr lately superintending the alterations at least that occupa tion was always mentioned as an apolo gy for his absciie from town and for his not attending more assiduously on his future bride during the je- lord fitzhenrys agitation aud abstraction rather encreased and it could no linger escape emmelines observation hit conversation was for ced in bis manner towards her he was punctiliously attentive aud civil but per fectly cold and distant when they arrived at arlingford all the servants were assembled iu the hall to receive them a numerous and respecta ble group who ly the tears of joy which some of thcmshci seemed most sincerely to partake in tin supposed happiness of their young masrer one of them who stood apart from be rest even ventured to address him with particular congratula tions as with the familiarity of an old friend aud to ive emmeline his bles sing thank you reynolds thank you said fitzhenry hastily as he shook the old mau by the hiud emmelines hem was cast in natures best mould and this simple action of her husband found its way to it she smiling raised her tearful yes to his face but the expression she there found soon made ber again cast them down the sccue seem ed to have totally discomposed him and inau awkward hurried manner thanking the rest of tho servants he led the way to the drawingroom dinner was ordered directly and all seemed so zealous to serve their young roaster and mistress that it was not long coming but still there was an aw ful pause lord fitzhenry walked up and down the room forced himself to speak then suddenly as if recollecting that some de gree of gallant attention was to be expect ed from him a bridegroom of only six or eight hours he hurried up to emmeline and helped her off with tier shawl but his maimer was so odd so unloverlike that it at last alarmed even her innocent un suspecting mind and she timidly asked if he was not well he started at her ques tion and seemed much embarrassed hut after a moments pause replied ll the journey the hurry i suppose indeed i hardly know what but something has gi ven me a dreadful hedacb and then as if roused by her remark to a sense of the strangeuess of his behaviour he put more force upon himself showed her the public rooms her own sitting room in which were collected hooks mu sical instruments and every possible means of amusement iu an answer to her enquiries explained to emmeline who wers her new relations that hung framed on the walls aud when she admired the comfort of the house aud particularly of her own boudoir he said something about hoping she would be happy io il bnt the phrase died away in uncertain accents piuner at length came to his relief he theu was attention itself but the repast could not last for ever and when the ser vants had left the room lord fitzhenrys erabarrassmeut returned worse than be fore emraelioe had lived so little in so ciety aud consequently had so little die habit of general conversation and the six years during which she and her husband had been separated bad so entirely bro ken off the first iutimacy which had exist ed between them when children that ti mid in his company and now unassisted and uneucouraged by him she felt it im possible to keep up any thing like conver sation it was therefore no 6malt re- lief when after nil awkwardly protracted silence she saw him leave the room as the door closed upon him emmeline involuntarily fell into a reverie not of the most pleasing nature this is all very strange thought she and over her usual gay countenance a sadness crept she sighed she hardly knew why and when her thoughts wandered back to her former happy home her parents and theirdoating fondness some natural tears stole down her cheek and she felt herself as in a dream neglected aud deserted but emmeline was not in love and her husbands behaviour though it astonished her and though she felt it was not what it ought to be did not wound her heart as it otherwise would have done emmeline was very young even for her age with a most superior mind and character with tender even romantic feel ings her innocence and simplicity of heart were so great and all qualities had as yet lain so dormant that her character was scarcely known even to herself and to common observers she passed for a mere gay good humoured pleasing girl she was however no common character nor what one would have supposed the daugh ter of mr and mrs benson to he nature sometimes seems to auiuse herself with playing such fanciful tricks and emme lines natural superiority made it appear as if she had been thrown into a sphere totally different from that for which she had been originally designed and that she now was only restored to her own proper station when raised by her marriage to be the companion of fitzhenry to explain how such a being came to be thus passively united to a man who seemed already to have
