u about as genteel knd laly like as any girl
i know, aiwayi excepting, o: course, my
own dear sisters.
4 Why brother, how you talk ? You don't
certainly pretend to compare her with Ern
estine Eberly and Zepherine FitzwiP.iaina,
whom yr)n have seen hcreseveral times.
4 No, 1 dont,' replied the brother, empha-jof
tically.
4 Well they're what I call genteel and Car
oline Murry wouldn't be tolerated in the so
ciety where they visit.
And whv nut sister ?'
.11 1 . T . . I I t r t .1
nav iu i-ioiu you i Because sne is noti
considered genteel, that is the reason.'
But I don t understand what you consid-
er genteel, Anna. If I know what gentility
means, Garonne, as tar as that is concerned,
is in every way superior to Ernestine Eberly
and .eptienne itxwilliams.
4 Now, William, that is two bad ? If any
other man had said so to me, I would never
have spoken to rum again as long as I lived
- uui seriously, a una: wnai uo you mean
by gentility ! asked the brother.
Thai's a question more easily asked than
answered ; but vou know as well as I do,
what is meant by gentility. Every body
knows.
4 I know what I mean by it, Anna. But
it seems that we don't agree on the subject ;
ior i can Garonne mnrry genieet, anu you
uon i i so jou seeruiai umerent mings my
be caned by the same name. JNow, what
l wish to know is.wnat. precise meaning you
attach to the word ; or why do you Jhink
VarOllUe UOt ffCnteel I I
4 Why, in the first place, she don t go into
genteel company.! People of the first rank
won t associate, wun ner.
Here ensued a pause, and the brother said
Well, whv-don't thev associate with her.
Anna ? I hope she has not been guilty of
improper conduct.
' O, no ! nothing of that. I never lieard
the slightest reflection on her character,' re
plied the sister; ' But, then, genteel young
ladies don't work in the kitchen, like hired
servants jasshe does. And, besides this, call
ou her when you will, and she is always do
ing something. Why, 1 am told that she has
even been seen at! the chamber windows,
fronting on the public street with her head
. tied up, sweeping and making the beds ! And
Clarissa Spriggler says that she saw her on(:e
with the parlor windows open, sweeping
and dusting like a servant ! Nobody's going
to associate, or be seen in the street with
any one who has'nt the spirit to be above the
condition .of a hireling. And besides this,
whenever she was invited to Jballs or parties,
she never would stay later than ten or eleven
o'clock, which everyone knows to be vulgar.
Somebody has to go home with her ofcourse
and the choicest bejm in the company was
almost sure to have his good nature and his
politeness taxed for this purpose. jOnce 1
heard her say that she consideretUhe tjheatre
an unfit place for any v'ourfff latlv's? she 'of-
. fended tlie whole cmpafiyV'andlhvjErr
oeen invueu io a party among gejueei.;jeopie
since.' ; .. . i.,r, ;. . ;
And is that all V said William Enfield,
taking a long breath, v ; J
4Yes, and I should think that was enough,
in all conscience, replied the sister. j h
4 So should I Aqua to make me respect
ner.' , ;
i Why, William !'
4 Whv, Anna! v -
' But earnestly, Williarn, you cannot be in
earnest!' -,J:. - "" ' r ; , -
4 And serioutly, Anna, are you in earnest?'
yji course I am.
Well sister I am afraid my old fashioned
notions, for such I suppose voii will now
ca" mem, anu your new Tangletl notions, for
1 1 . i "--. 1
sucn l must call them, wmnttt chime well
together. All that I. have heard you alledge
against Carolina Murry.rafses.instead of low
ers her in mv estimation. Rn far n n-Pn.
teel and lady like deportment is concerned, I
think her greatly superior to the two friends
you have named as pinks 6f gentilitv.
Anna looked up into the face of her broih-
er some moments, her countenance exhibit-
wg i mmgieu expression oi surprise anu uis- a
appointment.
But you are not going to walk with her
in the street any more, I hope,' she at length
Said. "I

I cannot do that William,' she replied, in

And why not, Anna I

1 cannot perceive the torce ol that reason
Anna. But if you will not go with me 1
must decline going with you. I he society
Miss Murry cannot be more repulsive to
you than is that of Misses Eberly and Fiiz-
williams to me.

doing as you desire me, I will be in danger
of losing my present postiion in society.

uaroiine Murry is not esteemed genteel in

will tarns, and those constituting their peculiar
circle, who expect service from others but
never think of rendering any; and who carry
theii prejudices so far as to despise all those
who work ?
Anna did not reply, and her brother said
I am in earnest, sister. ;"when I.say, that
vou cannot-confer a greater favor upon your
brother than to go with him to see Caroline
Murrv. .
I will go, she replied, and hurried away
evidently no little disturbed in her feelings.
, In half an hour she wns ready. a'td taking
her brother's arm, was' soon on the way to
Miss Ernestine EberlyV residence. That
young lady received them with all the graces
and. fashionable airs she could assume, and
entertained them with the idle gossip of the
day, mterpersed with occasional snices ;of
envious and ill-natured remaiktKnoivjg"
that her brother was a close discriminafer.

It seemed to her that Miss Eberly never
was sr uninteresting, or so malapropos in
what jfke said. The call on Zepherine Fitz-

displeased with a gratuitous sneer thrown
out aVtteeeitpense of Caroline Murry.
Anu flow Willi a reluctance which she
could riot overcome. Anna turned with her
brother towards live residence of the
lady who had lost caste because she ha'dffoo
d
sense and was industrious-
A few minutes walk brought them to the
door, and ihev were presently ushered into
neat parlor in whicJi was the younr lady

and was sewing. She was plainly dressed

with a pleasant unembarrassed smile, extend

Miss Enfield took the offered hand with

should, burn few hour3 before. Somehow

much changed for the better in manner ant

J o . '
three we called upon this morning, would
yon prefer to call your sister ?

Anna looked up, bewildered, and surprised
into tne lace ol her brother, lor a
f .
few mo-
ments, and then said
I don't understand you, brother William.'
Why I thought 1 asked you a very plain
question But 1 will make it plainer. Which
one of the three young ladies we called upon
this morning, would you advise me to marry
Neither,' replied Anna, promptly.
That is only jumping the question,' he
said smiling. But to corner you so that
there can be no escape, I will confess that I
have made up my mind to marry one of the
three. Now tell me which you would rath
er it would be.'
-Caroline Murry,' said Anna emphatically
while her cheeks burned, and her eves be-
came slightly suH'used. W'rlliam Enfield did
not reply to the hoped for, though rather tin
expected admission, but stooping down, he
kissed her glowing cheek, and whispered in
her ear :
4 Then she shall be your sister, and I
know you will love one another.
He said truly. He claimed Caroline Mur
ry as his bride, and her good sense, and win-
m'ng gentleness ofcharacter, influenced Anna
and effectually-counteracted the Talse notions
which were beginning to corrupt a good
heart and to overshadow a sound judgment
It was not long before she was fully sensible
of the real difference which there was between
the characters of her two friends and her
brother's wife and also between true & false
gentility. Although Caroline iviurry irati oeen
nroscribetl by a certain circle in which false
pride, instead of principle, was the govern
ing motive, she had still been esteemed
among those who knew how to look beyond
the surface. As the wife of Enfield, she at
once look a position in circles where those
who had passed her by as" unworthy would
nave sought in vain ior aumission

WOMEN FOR INVENTION.
The 44Hawkeye and Iowa Patriot" tells a
capital temperance story. A farmer belong
ing somewhere in Iowa,, bought a keg of
whiskey and carried it home. Well know
ing that his belter half' occasionally took a
4 drop or so' if it came in her way, and now
and then would have a drop at all events, he
endeavored to conceal the keg from her by
suspending it in his barn, which was a very
large one, somewhere near the ridge-pole.
The eagle-eyed or, rather 4 hawk-eyed' wife
got a sight of it, however, and resolved upon
obtaining a taste. It was impossible for her
to reach it. At length she hit upon the fol
lowing expedient, which worked io a charm.
Taking down her husband's rile, she put in
a charge wiih a good. ball, and taking a de
liberate aim at the keg, tapped it with the
ball, and brought down the Whiskey .at the
first shot ! Having a tub previously prepar
ed, she was thus enabled to catch all without
losing a drop, and left her poor husband to
weep over, and wonder at the loss of hU
whiskey. - s

that the beer was rather cold. Get his lord

Washirotox CiTT,July, 1841."
I for some yrars used Beckwith's Pills in cases of
indigestion and dyspeptic headachs, with the most
agreeable effects, and having recommended them to
many friends, the ume results occurred. . .
W. C. PKES i ON.
From Hon. Beviult Tcckxr, Law Profetaor in
William and Mary College.
Lee's Spbixgs, Va. August 7lh, 1840.
Sir : An accidental meeting with a friend of your,
has determined me to offer you the acknowledgements 1
which 1 have long felt fo be due from me, for the ben
efits I have received at your hands. Fourteen years -ago
I was left by a most malignant fever with diseas
ed liver, a disordered digestion, aod a constitution in
ruins. My Physicians permitted me to hope, lhat
with care and prudence I might drag on a few years
of precarious existence, and assured me lhat the least "
indiscretion must be fatal. Soon afterwards I found -myself
becomine dyspeptic, and became acquainted -with
all that indescribable misery which dyspeptics'
alone can know. This, as usual, grew upon me,4ho'
less rapidly than in most cases, because a conscious
ness of my danger' pot me on my guard, and experi
ence had made me familiar with the proper manage-
mcnt of myself. By the constant use of the most ap- .
proved remedies, the progiens of I be disease was re-
tardrd, and my life was made tolerable, but not com
fortaMe. I rarely ate two meals in ret ular succession,'
and for some. hours of almost every day, was iocapc
ble of any exercis' of thought or lectins. A peevish
impatience of existence occupied my whole mind.
I'wo years a2,' I met wilh your. Anti-dyspeptic
Pills, and confiding in the accompanying certificates .
of res; eclable gentlemen whom I happened to know,
I took them according. to directions. The result is,
that I now eat what I please, do what I please, sleep
soundly, and enjoy life as much as any man living.
Your young friend, who has been with me a week,,
will n il you that he has never seen my strength or
spirits flag, or my elasiirity of mind or body fail for a :(
moment. For this it gives me pleasure to My, yu
have my thoiks, aod loadd the assurance of ray high '
respect. B. TUCKER. -
