Tbe lekflesi hedges were white with boar frost, the ground wee covered with the ((periling rime -tbe grent reeenpraed tbeir lauk, bare brDcbei to the eky, which look ed down od the earth with dull lusden as pect. Ever; thing appeared as if dead io the iron grasp of winter etery thing ease the two girls. They were ill life amid tbe atillness ill buoyancy, gtadneea, youth I It was joyous spring lib them. I bey were very nearly ol i Height, ma ppireutly of equal age. One, i trifle tbe taller, was graceful, well formed girl, with 1 slender throat, which looked, from the contrast of tbe dark fur she wore, doub ly white a;.d delicate. She had brown eyes, soft and almo.it languishing when abe was silent, lut directly as she spoke, they lighted up at.d sparkled, and danced like tbe little ripples on I lake when tbe sun shines. The girl bsd olber beauties, too, besides ber eyes. She had dark shining, hair, braided over Ibe open forehead, and blooming cheek. She had I little, rosy, pouting mouth, ind in tbatandtbe dimpled cbin tuigbt be detected a considerable pro portion of girlish petulence, wilfulness and lore of mischief. The other girl was pale, dropping, almost delioate-lookiog. Even lbs keen wintry air bad failed to eall i (low to ber while cheeks. There wss no brilliant beauty here to ebarto the beholder. Only there wss 1 depth of fueling in her softeyes, a tre mulous sensitiveness about tbe wbole face, that though it would never coniniaud admi ration, aiigbt well wiu love. As she walked beside ber brilliant and blooming compan ion, few would have turned from the spark ling, Animated beauty of tbe one to admire tbe quiet sweetness of the other. And when they spoke, there was the same character istic diaeiimlarity ia their voices. Tbat of one was elear, distinct, uiusioal, as abe chime of silver bell ; tbe ctbrr's was soft, low and murmuring, aitb a shade of melancholy in its tooe, like the music of anseolian barp. " You are silent. Mora,'' said tbe pale girl, looking up into ber friend's face, " it is 1 rare tbing for you to be silent for so long together." " About 6ve minutes," returned the other, raising her head with a graceful, buoyant gesture, which was peculiar to her, while a bright smile roused ill tbe slumbering dim ples ia ber cheek, and tbe face, half pco sive in its eiprenion a moment before, be came again joyous and animated. " Only five n.iuutea, I am certain, dear; but, to be sure, I seldom gite tuy little tongue so long a holiday." " And you seldom look so grave, almost sad, as you l.xikcd jdt now," couiinued her companion; "nothing is the matter, is there ? ' Flora laughed merely. " Silly little friend," cried she, stoppiug to kiss ber if fectiooslely. " Know that there ate very few mischances which could befall me which would have the effect of uiakiDg oie look grave. Resides, in cs.se sny thing did vex me I should tell you directly, that you might be sorrowful for me. it wouid be almost worth having I grief to hire your sympithy, Evelyn.'' Evelyn looked up in her face gritefully. " One of the penalties we lively people have to pay," resumed Flora, " is that, if by my chance we are serious or thoughtful, or, in abort, bebare like raiionul beings for 1 while, we are intanl1y observed, our un usual bearing commented on, aod we ire e-.pjjosed to be suffering under some deep grief. Ah, fortunate Evelyn 1 o one thinks it strings when you look thoughtful, sensi ble, or "' "Sad?" said tbe other, smiling faintly, as Flori ceseed speaking, and paused, half embarrassed. " Tbat is what you mean, and you are right; it is not a strange thing for me to look either tbough'ful or sad. My nature is so different from yours. 3ut tell me," she added, as if glad to speak of other things, tell tue what you wete think ing of jun now t" " I was thinking of my long-promised visit to London." " Ah, aod of same one you will see there I ' ssid Evelyn, while the faintest pos sible flush rose to ber cheek. " Noneenaa. " returned Fiori, turning - wiy, though not with any displeasure ; " one thought ia enough it a time, for my poor little brains at leant." " Yes, but when we love," said Evelyn, gently, " our thoughts, like tbe swans on sweet St Mary 'a Lake, ' float double ;' what ever idea occurs to us, tbe ouo all prcvadiug one is blent with it." " You talk as if you had been in love a doien limes it least," oried Flora, laughing, " but I suppose you, being of I sen.-itive and poetie tempe riDieut, kuow intuitively what people feel under every eireuni'tance. I'm sure you know rrnre about it than I do." There was pnusa. Had Flora been in acute observer, which she was not, (there was too much thoughtless selfixlineris and egoii.iin in ber character for ber to be so,) she would hiva pereeived the strange look that, for i momeui, overspread Kvclyu s face, but itoame and passed unnoticed. " It will be very delightful to go to Lon don," returned Flora, " and my aunt is very gay, and I shall have parties and balls to my hearts eontent. les, it will be very pleasant ; I shall enjoy all those sorts of things very much. "la there nothing else no other plei sun you look forward to in this visit !"' ask ed Evelyn, with look of grave reproach in ber eyes. " Well, if you must know everything and it's no uo attempting Io hide anything from you, for I really believe that you know what I feel, or ought to fuel, hotter than I do myself if you must know, I do feel pleased to think I shall, in all probability, so Eustaoe Fane duriug my stay in town ' Tou will both be happy," murmured Evelyn, " iud you dueerve to be ao. Yoa love bim very dearly Flora" she said sud denly, and she turueC with an easier, tinti ou look to her friend " Very dearly, and only him you are iue?'' " You aro i searching catccbist," answer ed Flora, blusbiDg and half coufu-ed. ' and you ask more than I ought to tell. No words of acknowledged love eur passed between us. I have no fight, have I, to be lieve that he loves Did till he a-ks for my hand : and till then U would not be maidenly to say, even to you, bow much 1 - how very much I lova bim !" She eon- 'eluded rapidly, while I glow of enthusiasm lighted her face, making it doubly beauti- ' ful. Rut after Bhe bad speken, sbe dropped ber bead bashfully, is if half ibsnici of the burst of itiipii!-ij teri.nerauietit to which she had yielded.' " It is noneDae," abe said, trying to laugh 'carelessly, " and I don't ktow my own mind as yet. Don t look" rep'oacbtully at ine, Evelyn, with Ibosc earnest eyes of yours. You know I osnnot, I ought not, spesk about thi.s, even to my own besri, till I know. Had you not been I tiresune, teasing, wheedling little friend, as you ire, no ouu nuld have ever guested anythiig." " I must have hten very blind," said Evelyn, ' not to know that you love each other. There is oten more eloquence iu a face lhau ever fell from bumun lips, and the sweetest eloqirncc of all was written iu bis eyes when be looked at you " " You think so you are sure and you re never deceived," cried Flora, eage.'ly clasping ber friend's band, and peering iu tn In.r eves. Then reuieuiberiii? herself. she calmed, erected ber bead, and quietly added, " Very well, it may be to.'' Without toticing her Ikst words snd changed ruaoier, Evelyu went on speaking 'earnestly and anxiously. " Dear, dctr Floral" she said, while in j unwonted criuson spot arose on each pale cheek, and ber voice trembled, " remember 'wbat i holy, solemn thing il is for you to have the bnrpineat 0f one so great aod good ! as Eustace Fane in your keeping. Strive that you mar become worthy ol bim. Pray to (iod to giri you strength end fitness to be his nifo, bis ccinpaniop, comforter, advi ser and friend. Do not dare to toy with a heart like bis; it would be his despair and your undoing. Great fouls like bis must be dealt with io a (indred spirit of nobility. lit) yourself with bim, Flora be true and faithful to yourself iu being so to Lim God guard you tnd make yoj both happy !'' She faltered, and her voice died away to l whisper, ere eke oeased speaking. Flora, affected by ber deep earnestness, remaiucd silent, and neither uttered a word during the remainder of the walk. But when tbey arrived at Evelyn's abode, they stopped and bade each other farewell with more than Ususl sfiVcliouate iinpressivenesj. " I wish 1 were like yo-j, dear Evelyn," wbi-p'-rcd Flora, while a sa-eet seriousness shadowed ber face you are so goo.l, so true ! Ami I will heed wl.at you say, and try '. Dut I shall never be half so worthy of him as you are." Kvclyu turned aside quickly and shiver ed, as she trod the path vuich ki to tbe door of her father's bou-uj At the thre-hold she ni' t ber mother, I quid, fiir wouiau, with s. reue lace, which truly looked as though the spirit which bone through it bad beirt purified with much sufferiu. She passt-J ber arm cares singly around ber youug daughter's waist, while she murmured so.ne materual fears about the chill evening air. A hurst of laughter from an adjoining room nearly drowned her words. Kvelyu started. " Is thcro any one with my fa'.her!" she asked. Hal before ber mother could auswer, the door on the right baud of the corridor was opened, and lady cunt fjrlb, follow ed by Evelyn's father. "Ah! my young friend, how are you!" said the brisk, pretty little Mrs. Reresford, stretching out her neatly-glored hand to Evelyn. "I came to tell you all Dews which I am sure you will be pleased at. Flora was walking with vou, 1 tbiuk ? Well, directly after she went out, the post came in. We ire going to London cn Mouday next!" " indeed ! So aou V ''Yes. My sister particu'ar'y wishes us to come to tier at once. 1'ieasaiit, isn't it? It won't very long, though. I should be 'sorry to think of leaving laedear place and all our kiud friends for very long lime. Rut it will he delightful for Flora; in fact, I that reconciles me for going at ail. My own ii.ciiiiatton.', since the demise of my dear . husband, have ever leaned toward complete ' retirement." And tbe lady'i voice grew plaiutive, and she half drew out a delicate eaiuhrio hand kerchief from her reticule as be spoke ; but jlben changing her mood, she .smiled bright ly it Evelyn's mother, saying, " Rut what I cannot we mothers sacrifice for our chil ' drcn's welfare, de.ar Mr. Lester!" The lady addressed boned her head I meekly, and looked at the daughter with uuutterahle tenderness. And now Mr. Lester chimed io : "It will be very pleasant for my young friend Flora, indeed," said he. "I suppose Mr. Eustace Fane, the jouno; literary gen tleman who turned all our heads last sum mer wheo he was staying here, will be much with you, of course." " I imagine so," said Mrs Bercsford, with a complacent simper ;" iu fact, I may say I am certain of it. Poor young man, he is de.speratoly in love ith my girl; of her feelings for him, I am not so sure, lie is well known to my sister ; visitsat her houso. We shall see I great deal of bun. I'o you know, my dear Mrs. Lester, that tha new book which created such aeosalion iu London was written by him?" Mrs. Lester answered quickly, though her eyes bad been fixed on the half averted face of Kvelyn, who leaned agaiust the wall, and was fitfully tying and untying the striugs of her bounot. Iu few minutes more, the lively and talkative Mrs. Reres ford bade tbotu all good by, and gaily flut tered away. " Evelyn," said Mr. Lester, " eoaie ml read the paper ; it has arrived, aad there is great news; oonie along." I " I will come," said the mother quickly. I " Let Kvelnyn rest now ; she has been walk ing, and ia tried. I will read to you." j The bunband and wife passed into the 'parlor, As tbey did so, Mrs. Lester turn ed ber bead for ao instant, and looked wiih a lo:k of anguish on the droopiug figure of her child, is sue sloatv nioubleti the stairs which led to ber room.
