lady, 'of her being' a.duchess ir princess

as she said this, that Mary' did hot quite
jinderstand, She seemed so affable .and
answered all her questions so pleasantly,
that Mary remained near her a greater

quite a patronizing manner, not doubt

Julia laughed. ' Why .that.. was Mrsi
Hanafovd an ex-milliner w ho has late
ly come into possession of :a.n immense
-fortune,, and. who seems now revolved
to repay the worM some of the scorn
she met from it when in a subordinate
position.'
Vis it -possible ?V Mary exclaimed. 'I
would never have believed it. --I observ
ed, though, the air of disdain with which
she looked dovvn npnn those around hei;
I caught her eve.-once, and she save me
a look as though she would annihilate
me. But there is certainly -..some-thins,
queenly in her appearance; and it seems
to sit naturally on her, as i on.e .accus
tomed to -deference-.-- " i . '

smiling, but in a sarcastic tone, 'fo'obse-quiousn-ess

' What a severe girl i yon are. Tut

aH, but" some unsophisticated person

she, Colanthe ?' A milliner from Par

with regard to the lady of your admira

I did not think of that,' said Marv :
' I have not been accustomed to seeinjr
people who were painted. A lady of
whom I enquired, told me she was Miss
Ilanaford, and she was not awareof her
being anything more ; but, as she was
almost a stranger herselfj I thought per
haps she might not know all about her.'
The lady in a plain brown dress,
with whom I saw you speaking?'
Yes do you know her ?' : ; i :
' Very well, by reputation ; she is not
a resident of our town.; 7 That was the
celebrated authoress, Mrs. S .' . . -
' You are surely joking, cousin,' said
Mary ; with a look of dismay.'- ' T had
no idei of her making any ? pretensions
to be anybody. She seemed so quiet,
and sat back there, alone, and no one
seemed to pay any particular attention
to her.' "
' ;' Few present, I suppose, vvere aware
of her having any claims to superiority.
It was her choice, doubtless, that- they
should not. She would not choose," I
think, to be made a lion of. She is visi
ting some relatives in town, and has not
been- out before. But are yon not
aware cousin that those who feel se
cuie of real superiority; are 'often the
least presuming, while those who are
conscious tlvat their clims are not
well founded,, who, by some chance' of
fortune, perhaps, have become elevated
from an obscure position, to a station
for which they are unfitted, resort fo ar
rogance and pretension to support their
unreal dignity ; and though they may
thus awe the vulgar; or deceive the sim
pie-minded, the ; truly enlightened and
refined easily fathom their shallow pre
tensions"; their innate vufgarity is1 sure
to peep through, despite all the airs thy
put on. I intended to tell you last night
who this lady was; after ! learned, that
you might be aware that you had seen a
live authcress, but Other-things put it out

which yon take for modesty, is but the

is your littleness; disconcerts him not

' I believe this lo be true,' said Julia,
closing the book. ' Persons possessed
of true superiority are not, themselves,'
unaware of the tact, though they may
sometimes appear so. The very diffi
dence that seems to belong to them ; of
ten., has its origin in pride. They know
their own superiority, but feel conscious
that it is not always apparent to others.
They know, 4oo, that the crowd cannot
appreciate them; as ? persons ' must pos
sess'superior merit themselves in order
to discern it fully in ethers, and so they
take refuge in reserve, often because
the v despise the. homage of the-'vulgar.'
' You have surely, cousin,' said Mary,
given me a goofl many new ideas. 1
think, Tafter this, f shall judge of people's
merit in a ratio inverse to their preten
sion, and pay homage, accordingly.'
' You .will as often recognize real
merit by t his course, as by tjie opposite
one, though not all persons possessed of
superiority are averse to display, or des
titute ot vanity. Poor Goldsmith, whose
life we' - were reading. ' often showed
proofs to the contrary of this, and some
times subjec led himself to i idicule there
by, but this was usually .under- circum
stances when he particularly wished to
appear to advantage, and thought his
claims-were, not sufficiently recognized.'

May I go on Ihe common to pla' ?
I've been a good girl to-dayj Avar bled
the. dear little pet, Isabel Lee, in a voice
that was sweet as the song of a bird at
sunlight; and up and down the stairs she
went, singing her childish ditty, and
searching, eagerly for her mother that
she might sbtain the desired permission-
' Say yes, do now, that'.s a dear, good
mother. she exclaimed., when at length
she found herself in the arms of theloy 4
ed one. ' Miss Jane says I've been a
very good girl, indeed; and she says,
too, trjat air and play will do me much
good . A n d the re 's no pi ace in the world
whet el love so well to pjay as on that
dear old common of ours.' I call it our
little c o u n t ry , mot he r , ' c a use the re a i n t
no houses there, nothing but grass and
trees and water.' 1
1 A tid bidlings from human nests,' said
the mother, as she lovingly kissed the
darling. Yes, you may go, buf mind
and not play too hard and be sure; Bel,
to get home ere the dinner is ready..'
-Merrily then pattered the slippered
feet after bonnet and' cape and hoop
and menily sang the happy voice: - '
I may go" pn the common to play,- ;
' I guess I'll be good then every day.'
Very derrmrely did the little girl.pace
the crowded -and fashionable thorough
fare ; but O, how lightly and joyously she
bounded down tie stone steps. And
once on the gravelled pathi with God's
green grass beside her his noble trees
arching above her his tree, glad sun
shine quivering on their tops, dancing
through their interlacing boughs.- Mere
mottling ihe soft turfiind there bathing
it in a; golden tide. Once beside the
mimic lake, with its leaping, Iaughingj
musical fountain, once out in that 'liti
tie cpuntry,' and Isabel; happiest of the
happy; flitted through "the long walks,
with astep that seemed almost winged,
so fleet, so airy was its tread ; while her
voice rang now in childisfi glee,v and' a
gain in birdlike songs ; and 1 her pulses
beating with. quickened life, sent fresh,
-bright-hues to the delicate cheek, gave
ari added lustre to the ; Williant e e, a
warm, glad gush to !1heT- panting5 heart,
and a thrill of joy to the imprisoned soul.
Out oh the common might be what' God
meant she should be while her years wei

cBut suddenly her steps were arrested :
the light faded from her joyous eye ;' the
song died oh, her lip. There, , on t the
green turf beside ' her, the midsummer
sun pourihgfits torrid fays upon his up
turned face,; buried in I what's seemed
deathlitceslumber,lay aman in the prime
o. life., Tattered and torn were hisgar

blotted paper in his hand. .

She looked awhile and then hesitating-;
ly approached him, an'ii.sat down beside,
him.. She took out her handkerchief and
wiped, awav Ihe great drops that had ga
thered on his brow, and then fanned him
with soft, deicate motion which we give
to the dyingjlriend. And all the! time
tears were streaming down her cheeks,
and she wasjwaiiing with a hushed voice,
but sobbing heart over his lonely lot.
She was wondering if he had a wife and
little children and if they krvewi how
sick he was and wished he would get up
and tell her where they lived that she
might. bring. them there, i j
A long while she sat there a patient
thoughtful ... watcher.. Only once she
ceased the teooling breeze it was to
fold her little hands as she had f been
taught, and breathe over him a prayer.
That prayer The angels hushed) their
harps to iistenf and 'there was joy in
heaven.' , I - . - ' '
At length the sick man turned and
tossed as though his sleep was mostly
over. Poorjman,', said his litttle nurse,
'poor man, you il be sore and sun l m
afraid, sleeping so Ion r -on the ground
when it Gained only. I; st night. I Pofr
man how sorry-1. am for you.' But now
her little cheqk is laid cloje to his bloat

would hear his words. Broken, indis

Just one glass more one, -one, only

He's begging for water,' sobbed she
as she raised, her damp face.' 'He's
dreaming and.f thinks they wont give it
to him. 'Oh. Jf-I only had some; it's so
hard to wanta "drink of water and not
to have it.' Here her eye rested on the
broken bottle, and a happy thought struck
her. She carf-fu-lly unclaped his hand,
seized the dark glass and hastened to
the pond.- 'Itjjwill hold some ; it will be
better than none,' said she, as shej dip
ped it in and boi e riway the coolingj lite
giving draught.:' She poured a few drops
on his parched lips, and then laved his
hot forehead and burning cheeks. That
water, that dew of human love, dripped
through his life pores and down to his
very soul. Itibroke the stupor that pal
sied his nerves. He opened his heavy
eyelids, and gazed'first vacantly, then
wpnderingly about him.
u ', Do you feel any better?' whispered
the girl, in tones lew and sweet as the
a little purple babe on her lap, sat on-a
riclcetty chair, the only one in the room,
dose to the little window, stitching i a
fast as her fingers could fly. . On a straw,
bed in the, corner lay two other little
ones, tossing in feverl fits, while; a boy
of jsabels, age crouclied ; beside them,
cri'ng. ' P I so hungry ! I'm so'hun-

j With fleet, steps Isabel ran ''off arid
reached her home, all out of breath, just
as her father was descending the steps
in search of her. . ,
! 0, father! father L' she exclaimed,
Vcome into the house, quick, quick; I
want to tell you something.' And she
heeded not the many questions sbowered
upon her by her worried parents till she
had told her story. .
i ' And O, father! O, mother! tif you
could have seen where he lived. , A
poor," sick man down in a cellar;' only
think a damp cellar for a sick manand
nothing but a bed of straw, and two lit
tle sick children and one boy cryingjfor
something to eat, and a little baby that
was half-starved ; and such a poor, sick
looking wile, and only one chair. O,
the poor folks!
I 'And he would have it that I . was
little angcj and he told his wife so.
But I told him I wasn't, and I told her
so; Tvvas only a little girl. But she
kissed me over and over again, and said
I was a little angel. Do J look like an

ishe ran to a mirror.- Why, no; I look
just like what I am, a little girl. What
imade them call me an angel? Do vou
know, father? do you know, mother?'
But they only clasped her in their arms,
and said: 'little angel, little angel.
i In the parlor of Mr. W. there- hangs

A lve-Letter a Hundred years Old. ?

of, than he that lives in the Remotest

passionately in love with you; and. this
affection has taken so deep Root in , me,
hat in my Conscience I will die s Mar,

Thousands have done far their Religion,'
tho' they knew as little of the troth for
which' they died, as l!do of. your Lady

into the Country about my lawful Affairs
it was my fortune to see a most Magnifi
cent Seat upon the Road: this Excited
my' Curiosity to enquire after the Owner
of so Beautiful a Pile; and being inform
ed it belonged to your 1 Ladyship, I be
gan that very Moment to have a strange
inclination tor you; . but 1 was iurther
Informed that two Thousand acres of the
best landin Knoland belonged to that
Nble :Fabrick together with a fine Park.
Variety of Fish Ponds and , such like
Conveniences. ;I fell then, op t the
Ears in Jove, and submitted to a Power
which I could not Resist. Thought 1
to myself the Owner of so many agreea
ble things Must needs be the most Char
ming Lady in the Universe: what tho'
she be old her trees are green. What
tho' she has Jost all the Roses in her
Cheeks, She has enough in her gardens.
With these thoughts I lighted from rny
horse,' and on a sudden fell so enamoured
with your Ladyship that I. told my Pas
sion to every tree in your park; which
by the. by are the Tailed, Straightest,
loveliest, finest shap'd trees I ever Saw;
and I have since worn out above a Dozen
Penknives in Engraving your Name up
on 'om. I will appeal to your Ladyship,
whethec auy lover-ever went upon more
Solid Motives than myself. Those that
choose a Mistress wholly for her Beaut',
will injallibly find their Passion to De
cay with that: those that ptetend to ad
mire a Woman for the qualities of her
mind, are guilty of a'.Piece ot Pagan -mi-persiition.
