IN THE COUNTY WOODVILLE, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1880 “ You told me no news, dear Walter, when you told me you loved my daughter. I knew it long ago and I watched you nar. rowly, to see if you were worthy of her- That I think you are, I prove to you by say‘ ing, that to no young man of my acquaint- ance, would I entrust her happiness so wil- lingly as toyou, and had you talked to me freely upon the subject, you would not, perhaps, have been in California now Your remark concerning Mrs. Bartow reminded me of what she once told me, and when I questioned her again upon the subject, de- manding to know the truth, she confused the falsehood she imposed on you, by saying I did not wish you to marry Jessie. I can find nothing to excuse her save her foolish pride,which will probably never be subdued. Still she is your staunch friend now, just as she is poor William’s bitter enemy. You have said you would not talk of love to Jea~ sie until your father was proved innocent. This, my dear Walter, may never be, even if he is living, which is very doubtful. So why should you hesitate. You have my free consent to say to her whatever you. think best to say. She is in Deer-wood now with poor Lottie, who is sadly mortified at what she considr rs her disgrace. I am doing what I can for William, so is his grand- mother ; but his father refuses to see him or even hear his name spoken. Unfortunate Will, he seems penitent, and has acknow- ledged everything to me, even the wicked art he acted toward you. by deceiving you. i than_lr__fleavsn eve!) day _t_hat__ Jessie's Rapidly the days and weeks Went by, and then there came letters both from Mr. Gra. ham and Mrs. Bellenger, telling how the wedding song had been changed into a wail of eorrow, and that the elegant William Bel- lenger was branded as a villain.

His request was granted. and when the morning came he was too ill to leave hia bed, but lay there for many days, kindly cared for by the deacon, to whom he made a full confession of hie guilt, saying that he, and not Seth Marahall, rob- bed the Deerwood Bank ; that it was what he intended to do when he came there that night, feigning drunkenneaa the' better to cover his design. He knew that Seth kept the keye in his pocket, and when aure that the houeehold were asleep, he arose, and putting on hie victim'e coat, cap and shoes. left the house atealtliily, committed the theft, hid the mon- ey. and then as cautiouely returned to hie room, and was settling himeelf a aecond time into an apparently diunkeu aleep. when he heard some one up, looking, aa he cup. poeed, for the cause of the disturbance he had made In accidentally upsetting a chair as he left Seth Manhallfa room.

I should never have done it but for Mr. Graham, who begged and untreated me to go." " M r. Graham I" exclaimed Walter. “ Why, he, I thought, was your bail." - “ So he was,” returned the father, “bu he wished . me to come away for all that. He would rather lose all his fortune. he said, than'know I was in prison. and sent there on his testimony. So he urged me to lea ccntriviugaway ferme to oso, carrying me himself, that stormy night, many miles from Deerwood. I dreaded the State prison. I believe I would rather have been hung, and I yielded to his im rtuni- ties on one condition only. I know h a father would be very indignant. and that people would censure him severely, too, if it Were known that he was in my secret ; and, as I would not have him blamed, I made him promise to me solemnly that he would never tell that he first suggested my going and then helped me away. He has kept his promise,and it is wall. I have ample means, now, for paying him all I owe, and many a time I have thought to send it tohim, butI have been dead to all my friends so long that I deciued to remain so, I wrote to him, from Texas. asking for you all, and learning from him of Ellen’s death. and of your birth.

I had never seen you, my son. and when I heard that m darling was gone.-â€"my mother, too,â€"an that my father: nd best friend still believed mo guilty, I felt a growing coldness towards you all. I would never write home again, I said. I would forget that I ever had a home, and for a time I kept this resolution, plunging into vices of every kind,â€"awearing, gamb- ling, drinking."â€"«- - " Oh father,â€"father l" said \Valter, with a shudder. “ You do not tell me true." ‘ " It's all true, my boy, and more.”return-r ed the father, “ But I was overtaken at last, by a terrible sickness, the result of dissi av tion in New Orleans.
