THE FORTUNES OF A COUNTRY
C1RL.
A STORY.
One d-y, I v?i!l not say how many years
agt, for I intend to be very mysterious for
a time with taj readers a young woman
stepped jfrorh a country wagori, that had just
arrived Et the ylardgate of the Chelsea Inn,
the G;al and the Compssses. a name' form
ed by corrupting lime out of t'te pious ntU
ginil HSrtd encotnp?8$eth u.' The young
woman seemed I about the age of 18,1 and
was decentl- dfested; though in the plain
est rustic fashion of the times. She was
well fortifed arid well looking, both form
and looks giving indicitions of ruddy healih
consequent upon exposure to the sun jand
air in the country. After stepping frorti the
wagon, which ihe driver immediately! led
into the yard the girl stood for . a moment
in apparent uncertainty whither to go, when
the mistress of the inn, who had come to
the door, observed her hesitation, "and ask
ed her to enter and take resu The young
woman Readily obeyed .the invitation, land
soon, by the kindness of the landlady, found
herself by the firesid - of a nicely sanded,
parlor, i ltd wherewithal to refresh herst4T
after a l ing and tedious journey.
And so my;poorirl,' said the landla
dy,! after having .beard, $n return for her
kindness the wholA psrttculars of the young
woman's situation and history, u.so thou
bas come all this way to seek service, and
: hast no friend but John Hodge, the wago
ner ? Truly, lie is like to give the but
; small he!p,wench,towards getting a place.'
Is service, then, difficult to be Had?"
asked thle young woman sadly. ;
"Ah.'marry, good situations, at least, are
hard to find., Bjit have a good riearijchild,"
said thej landlady, and as she continued,
she looked around with' an air of pride and
dignity ;j "and left the country a young
thing jnsi like thysell, with as hitle to look
to.
but 'tis n7t
every; one for certain.. that
must look for ?uch a Ifortune, and in any
jcase it oustbej wrought Cor. I showed
imvself a good servant before mv Door old
bacob, heaven rest his soul, made me mis
tress of the Goat and Compasses. So mind
thee, girl
