LAWS THE GUARDIANS OF
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1857:
THE BLUE BONNET.1
' ' BY .OAII, IIIXILTON. '
Oh I dearl" wijlrtXi 1
: If too could but have heard the tone in
which" this was spoken by Mise Grisel. She
had just come in, from a walk, to the parlor,
where her cousin, brother, and sister were
sitting. They all looked up at her energetic
exclamation. , '. ..... ,c . , ., .
What it the matter?" said Conway, try
ing to imitate her tones. -
" It's an awful day -I think it's an awful
day !" continued Grisi'l. , , . .
"There !'' said Conway, turning to cousin
Gene, ' I never saw -such a girl as our
Griael. If everything" doesn't go just to
suit her, why, 'tis 'awtul.' It's always either
terribly cold,' "or " ' horribly warm,' or
'shockingly foggy.' 'She lives in the super
lative degree from nornlng to night."
-' Well,'" now, Gene,' isn't it provoking?
Just look at my new gaiter boots, and my
clean stockings and pantalettes, all splashed
with mud ; and when I take my sandals off,
there'll be a great mark all around. . Well,
the boots are ruined. . I never feel ai if they
are nice after they have once been so muddy.
And mr feathers are spoiled too, I suppose.
I could hear them go floppity-flop, flopitv
flop, half the way home. Do see, Gene, do
you suppose they will ever come out right
again r'V , ... ... ,..'
Gene took the pretty blue bonnet in her
hand, and stroked the feathers and smoothed
the ribbon; but they dropped in a very
melancholy way, and poor Grisel looked
melancholy as they. . Little, Trip stood by
with, curious eyes. .J , , . ;
" Don't you wish you had done as Gene
wished you, and worn your straw bonnet?
Then you. wouldu't have spoiled this," she
asked. . , . ,
' Oh ! no," said Conway. Grisel would
wear her blue bonnet if it rained guns.
Isn't Miss Thirteen fit for feathers and
flounces, and a beau i" , .. . $
Do stop," said Grisel, pettishly. 1
can't bear to hear people make such simple
tons of themselves. After a tiling is spoiled,
what's the use of saying, if you had done so
and so it wouldn't have been so. If Eve
h tdn't eaten the apple, we shouldn't have
had bonnets to spoil. I low could I know it
was going to rain t I am sure the sun was
out bright when I dressed ; wasn't it Gene i"
Yes, dear, only it had been raining all
the morning, and in such days as this, you
know, I told you that the sun'will very often
be shining one hour, and it will be raining
fast the next." . r
, And," said Conway, " you know it wai
wet, and you ought to have worn yottr rub
ber boots instead of those Itttlo sandals.
What good can they do when you are ankle
deep in mud f" . i
' Do you think I would be seen calling at
M'ine Grifoni'g with a pair of great clumsy
rubber boots on r I am sure I hate them
bad enough at any time. But of all things,
to make calls in them !"
"I fancy you would have had to nuke
calls in them if mamma had been at home,
or elite you wouldn't have made calls at all."
"Oh come, children," said Gene, " don't
make a bad matter w orse. Run and chanre
your clothes, Grisel, and then we'll have a
right pleasant evening, if it is such an awful
day."
" How vain Grisel is," said Conway, after
she hart gone. .
' She resembles her elder brother in that
respect," answered Gene.
Me? I'm not vain, I'm sure. Nobody
ever accused tne of being vain. Mamma
often says she wishes I had a little more
pride, to keep myself looking nice. She
nays she ia quite ashamed of me when we
haVe visitors."
"And you are amply repaid for it by
hearing hersav to her visitors, Conway fs
all studv. if he get a book, he tloos'not
know whether hi hair is combed or not.'
And the visitor replies, 'Oh, that is a good
fault. We all know he is a very fine scholar,
and so don't mind if he does not look so
tidy as some boys do.' "
Conway blushed and laughed, and Gene
said pleasantly,
In't it a littl. bit an, now ?"
" Well, yes," said he, frankly, I think
it is; but I am sure it ia not half go bad to
be proud of being a good scholar as it ia of
wearing feather and ailk."
"What's that about feathers and silk?"
faid Grisel entering ; "something against
tne, I suppose, as usual." .
v " No, no," cried Conway, " take courage,
Senorita. The tabic are turned. Gene
here says I am as vain aa you. What say
ton to that?"
" 1 aiwavt mougni so, ior my pan," an
swered Oriiiel. ...
" Don't believe yon ever thought of it be
fore in vour life."
" Well, if I had, I should have thought so ;
but you have always been digging' at me
so about my own vanity, that 1 never had a
chance to examine you. Gene, 1 ant glad
you have carried (he war into th enemy's
camp.
"Ah! but you see my vanitv ia a great
deal better kind than yours. That makes
all the difl'cre nee in the world."
" No," said Gene, " I did not say to, ami
I do not think to.
" What! You think it ia just at foolish
to try to be a good acholar, aa to wear fea
ther in a bonnet?" t
" Not at all. Rut it ia just foolish to
be tain of being a good scholar as to bo vain
of dreia." , . ... . ,- . . ...
,'I don't think so) because if you are a
good scholar, it is something you do yourself,
and there is some merit in it.. Rut there it
no men
it in wearing a particular kind of
Yott don't make it) yo don't have
i
dres.
'Kviktni- In .I. ailli il tint wear it 1 anil it
ein to perfectly silly to be proud of that."
OUR. LIBEllTY. .
And to be a good scholar, you must have j
a mind, which God has given vou. You
must have books and teachers, which your
parents give you. All you have to do, is to
improve what you have given you. If you
tlo not do this, it is wicked ; and if you" do
this, it seems so perfectly silly to be proud
of it. Grisel has as much to do with her
clothes as you have with your opportunities.
it is not wrong for her to take pleasure in
them, any more than forjrou to take plea
sure in your studies. It is just as right for
her to like a pretty bonnet better than an
ugly one, as it is for you to like Latin better
than French.',';- . w s . , ... -,
? Then you think I did right to wear my
blue bonnet this afternoon f" suid Grisel,
looking a little surprised. i ,
" No, I do not. Nor do I think it would
be right for Conway to refuse to study
French because he does not like it. Our
tastes are to be gratified only so far as they
do not conflict w ith God'a will,' but tend to
glorify Him." j ? , j
" Cousin Gene, you always were so odd.
I should like to know what God can care
about my dress, or Conway's studying
French. Who ever heard of such a thing ?"
" St. Paul heard of it, my dear, and talk
ed of it. Do- you not remember he says,
' Whether ye eat or drink, or watsoever ye
do, do all to the glory of God ?' " ,
" Yes; but I never supposed he meant ac
tual eating and drinking.". .. .
" I think he did; but you may jndge for
yourself. Which do you really think would
have pleased your mother the dresa you
wore thi afternoon, or your school bonnet
and rubbers It 1 -3
" I suppose, the old ones."
"And is it not the will of God tliat you
should obey your parents in all things?"
' Yes 1 only that was not disobedience, you
know. Mamma did not tell me." .
" No, not exactly ; but if, when you were
dressing, you had thought : ' Now I want
very much to wear my be&t bonnet, but I
know mamma would think it more proper
and safe to wear the other ; still she has not
said I must never wear it except when it ia
pleasant; for that matter it is pleasant now,
and 1 am going to Madame Grifoni's, and I
am sure 1 wish to be as nice as possible ; bnt
cousin Gene thinks I would better not, and
mamma wishes me to obey Gene while she
is gone, and God will be pleased if I do
what I think mamma wishes. It is certainly
nut wrong to wear the old bonnet, and it
may be wrong to wear the best one ; so 1
wilt wear it.' Would not that be doing
right?"
- "Yes, I think so.'V ......
"And to do right is to Rlorify God. So
in all vour behaviour you have occasion to
show titat you are trying to be a true Chris
tian to love and please God. If there is
something on the table of which you are
particularly fond, you can refrain from tast
ing it, because you know your mother thinks
it uot wholesome for you. If it rains when
you wish sunshine, you need not be impa
tient and say it is an awful day but re
member that that would be finding fault
with God. and"
" Oh, Gene, I did not mean to find fault
with God !"
" No, dear, but it sounded very much as
if you did. I would alwavs try to avoid
even the appearance of tvif, and not repeat
any idle words such as 'awful," horrible,'
&.c. to wnicn you aicacn no meaning.
" But you must say something, Gene, and
what can you say ?"
" No must' about it.' If it rains, aay so.
If a flower is prettv, it is prettr. There i
no need of so many expletive."
" At all events," said Grisel, rising, as the
tea-bell rang, " I'm glad you think Conway
vain, a well as I. -That is one comfort.
Not a malicious fn.iVyou know, but a kind
of good-natured one."
"Just you stop, Miss," said Conway, fillip
ing her car.
Gene smiled, and they sat down to tea.

LORD BACON.
The five years of shame, poverty and lick
nesit which followed Hacon't disgrace, are
the brightest part of his life. He did not
waste them in sorrow or in anger. He felt
that " that which it past is gone and irreco
verable, and that they do but trifle with
themaclvea who labor in past matters." He
felt that, having, a he says, wasted his beat
years and hi best exertion in matter for
which " r.e wa not very 111 oy nature, anu

It has. often occurred to us to consider
what we should have gained, and what we
should have lost, if the revision of the reg
istrars!! ip of the Star Chamber bad fallen to
him in his youth, and he had retired on it
into contemplative lite. .,;
He would have left ns a much nurer ex
ample, but a less useful warning. . It i ex
quisitely mournful, but perhaps equally in
structive, to see a man of gigantic intellect,
of kindly afl'ections, who had long and deeply
meditated on virtue and on vice, who was
carried away by no violent passious, who
was borne down by no overwhelming temp
tation, seduced into crimes the most hatetul
and the most despicable into cruelty, op
pression, falsehood, ingratitude, and corrup
tion, by mere weakness; by the want of
firmness, to resist the solicitations of the
sovereign, or of the favorite of the aove
reign ; and by the want of self-denial, to)
abstain from gratifying his vanity or his
taste, by an expense to which cren his enor-'
mous income was unequal. ,;
. He would probably have coin Dieted the
tlnstauratio Magna. Much of it no doubt
woum have been very valuable ; much would
have consisted of speculations in physical
science, depending on premises deduced
from insufficient evidence, or assumed with
out any evidence whatever. But we should
not have had the Essays, such a we have
them now. Only long experience of active
lire ; only constant collision with every class
of mind, and every diversity of character)
only passing through every variety of for
tune, from poverty to wealth, and from
wealth to poverty from obscurity to fame,
and from fame to infamy from mediocrity
to power, and from power to humiliation
could have given to him the deep and prac
tical insight into human nature which pro
duced the E&ays in their last form. - And
we are not sure that we should gain, even if
it were possible to exchange the in for the
Desiderata.
VANITY OF RICHES.
The vanity of riche i seldom illustrated
to strikingly a in the case of (he great Eng
lish millionaire, Morrison, who died worth
8O,0UO,O00. It teems to be one of the con
tlition of the accumulation of enormous
wealth in a single generation, that the poases
or shall first disqualify himself from enjoy
ing it, and in totne case, even from appre
ciating the fact that he buhls iL Mr. Mor
rison accumulated thi almost fabulou
amount himself, and in the regular course of
hi business, without any extraordinary turn
of fortune 1 yet the following extract from a
letter in the Botnn Post shows how ditto
benefit he permitted himself to receive from
all his wraith. What a satire it i upon the
exclusive devotion of a'l the faculties to the
mere accumulation of property.
