She was seventeen years old, when
an event of some moment marked the
career of her sire and herself. Stephen
Lenoi4 was compelled, in a case of pe-
culiar emergency, to take an assistant
into his workshop. He was very averse
to this( proceeding, but a piece of elabo-,
rate work required from him could hot
be executed otherwise in - due time.
The task, too, could only be peiformed
under his own eye, and, ' not execut-

the consequence. Now, 'money bad be-

dear, be had as vet no perfect concep-
tion. , He had laid by a pretty large
sum, and, having few legitimate objects
to expend it upon, such ab most men
have for the most part fir plenty, it had
becomeI • rized by him for itself. This
p
growirg passion had produced no per-
ceptible change in his affection for his
daughter, and perhaps it was with a
view to her future- comforts that he
had at first taken pleesure in accumu-
lating. • However this may be, Stephen
on the present occasion felt such a pang
at the' thought of losing the large sum
to be gained by the execution of the re-

poor Louise, would you, could you de-
ceive your father 3"
'Not for worlds,' returned the daugh-

father's distress called 1D3mediate tears:
'not for worlds would I deceive you!'
Stephen looked earnestly at her for a
moment.

length 'when I gaze on those innocent
eyes, and think • that they have ever
beamed on. me with duty and love.
And yet, by night—and when you are
away from my sight—oh, Manon, I
have terriele thoughts ? The daughter
was greatly shocked at this open avow-
al , of distrust on her father's part to-
wards her.
'Father, what. have I done to incur
suspicion from you'? said she, with
swimming eyes, "Oh, dear father, some
evil spirit suggests these thoughts 1 If
you have seen aughtfrmiss, and believe
that your Marion will •obey you before

or can do anyteing to vex the parent

*Ment. He then kissed bis daughter's
brow, and said believe you, Marion.
Somethiug. has occurred to fret me.
Go My dear child, end think of tilis rio
more.' •
However matters were not mended
subsequently. Stephen altered his
strange conduct but a, short time, and
then relapsed, and, grew daily worse ;
Se much so, as to treat Mallon with ha-
harOmess. Her consciousness
of Bertrand's affection could not make
up to the poor daughter for this ahem -
