Louisa threw her arms round the affectionate Bennet, who sobbed on her bosom, unable to articulate her joy. Mrs. Belmont contemplated them with rapture, and raising her eyes and clasped hands to Heaven, exclaimed-" Great God! enable me to bear this reverse with moderation; from the depth of sorrow thou hast made the widow's heart to sing with joy, and her delighted eyes to see a childho will add to the blessings of her declining years!" Bennet, as soon as tears would permit, congratulated all. "Yes, faithful friend of my Maria's solitary hours," said Belmont," you shall likewise be the companion of the happy days that I hope are in store for her." Our friendly company, after some time, grew more composed, and intreated Mr. Belmont to tell them in what manner those strange events had happened. He obeyed. The narrative recalled their attention, and prevented the perhaps too violent effects of joy. CHAPTER XXIV. CONCLUSION. -Virtue sole survives, Immortal, never-failing friend of man!- THOMSON'S SEASONS. A FEW days after, Lord Danford was interred; and Mr. Belmont took possession of the estate, the title being extinct, as Lord Danford died childless. Lord Castlebrook was importunate with the lovely Julia to fix a day for his happiness."Court Louisa," said she, laughing; "the day that makes her Lady Melville, I perhaps may be prevailed on." "A match!" interrupted Mr. Belmont, who overheard the discourse. "What say you, Louisa? Julia consents to marry Lord Castlebrook, on the day you join your fate with Lord Melville. Do not protract it; name a speedy one."-"Now I know," answered Louisa, "my hand brings no disgrace with it, I offer it unasked; make it his when you please, Sir." Lord Melville, enraptured, imprinted numberless kisses on the extended hand. " 'Oh, I retract,” said Julia; "you have caught me unfairly; it was on Louisa's own consent, without the authority of Mr. Belmont, I meant." "No authority was used," said Louisa, blushing; 66 I gave my hand as willingly as ever it was asked." Well, then-if it must be-take me, Lord Castlebrook-and Heaven give you no cause to repent!" Mutual congratulations now passed, and mirth and pleasure triumphed in every face. That day month the young lords received each his blooming bride from Mr. Belmont, who presented his daughter Louisa with a fortune of fifty thousand pounds, and the sum of ten thousand to Julia, which made her fortune equal with her new sister's. These marriages were celebrated at Lady Melville's seat in the country; where after some time spent, our company took a tour to see Mr. Belmont's estates. Nor was the cottage forgotten, but enlarged and fitted up, to receive our company of friends; Mrs. Belmont purposing to keep the anniversary of her meeting Louisa there. Neither was Madame du Saint neglected: she was informed by letter of all that had past, with a promise of a speedy visit. Mr. Danvers, as soon as recovered from his wounds, set out on the tour of Europe: on his return from which, he was made happy with a very amiable lady. Louisa, now Lady Melville, by the means of Mrs. Masters, found out her old nurse, and settled a handsome annuity on her for life. One house generally held our circle of friends, who were never so happy as when dispensing universal good. "The seasons thus, As ceaseless round a jarring world they roll, To scenes where love and bliss immortal reign."
