THINGS IL4RDLY f O BE BE
LIEVED. '
" -by Mas. ITMA iasa rtaasoy.
u WelL I decfeire, this & hardly to be
believed !". exclaimed ..Mrs. Grandy, as
she threw down letter which the had
biicn perusing, and turned towards hr
daughter, woo was reclining on a crim
son cushioned lounge, in the most ap
proved style of dress, attitude, and ex
pression. The younc lady lilted her
jeweled hand raised her sleepy-'.idded
eyes wit & enquiring interest, as she
breathed lorth in au affected tone of
music;
. "Pray, what have you found, dear
mamma? 1 am longing for something
to chase away this horrible ennui."
" It is hardly to be believed, I repeat,
Amina your uncle Meek has written
to me, that he intends to send his daugh
ter Lucy, to spend the winter with us.
I cannot refuse to receive her, for she is
my sister's child but, dear me ! what
shall we do with the rustic creature V
u How came your sister to marry a
farmer, mamma ?"
M Why Amina, while pa was a Sena
tor, sister and I accompanied him to
Washington, one winter, and there we
met Mr. Meek, a young and talented
member of Congress. Your aunt was
captivated by his fine person, real elo
quence, and open, manly character ; and
although she knew that he was only a
tarmcr at home, she persisted m becom
ing )i is wife. So he took her to his home
in the new State of Ohio, and I have
not seen her since : for she soon became
a mother, and hits several children, so
that she was confined at home, and I
have been so very delicate in health, that
I never dared to brave such a journey.
But she used to write frcauentlv. and
although she always professed herself
perfectly happy, she gave such descrip
tions of her domestic affairs that I am
sure I should have been utterly misera
ble in her situation. And this daughter
of hers, who milks the cows, makes buN
teT and cheese, and spins yam, and
weaves cloth, and bakes bread, and
washes clothes, and scrubs floors, why
she must be a great stout looking crea
ture like a man with sun-burnt face, and
coarse hands and feet, and voice like a
market woman. And then she will be
so awkward oh dear ! what shall we
do with her?"
" Why, ma, you really frighten me ;
you must not let hei come certainly. I
never could introduce such a cousin to
society, and certainly I would not forego
an pleasure and remain at home with
her."
" I carmot refuse to receive her; dear
Amina 'but she is so unsophisticated,
that we can do with her as we please.
If we can make nothing presentable of
her, why we can keep her out of sight
But it will cost me so much to dress ner.
Of course she will have no clothes fit to
be seeTt."
"Well, mamma, on second thoughts,
wavwill let her come. She will amuse
some of my leisure moments. If I should
become interested in her I should find
employr.ent in teaching her politeness
aDd etiquette. If she does not interest
me, she will be a fit subject for ridicule.1
r. And so the matter stood.
' Mrs. Grandy was just on the eve of a
grand party, to wnicn sne naa mviiea
the " aristocracy " of the city. 8he was
occupied in finishing her arrangexDerits
and adding the crowning grace to the
labors of servants and npholsterers, when
she was stunned by the intelligence that
Miss Lucy Meek was in the parlor.
Good helvens ! what shall we do)"
she cried, addressing her daughter, who
was sauntering by her side, and languid
ly criticising the arrangements. " 11 on
ly she had staid until after the party 1
What can we do with her V
" We must at least proceed to the par
lor, and try to welcome her with civility,"
remarked Amina. f She may not be so
unpresentable as we have pictured her,"
and the high bred mother and daughter
descended to the parlor, dtterrrAimng
to treat the awkward country girl with
all the condescending kindness possible.
Their surprise was no less dverhelm
ifig than agreeable, when, they beheld
seated perfectly at ease, . with . book
which she bad taken from the centre ta
ble, a lovely little girL fair as a lily, with
try small hjucbv ajod ' foot. Piping
from beneath her travelling dressy as d
defvina compeuuon which it might
have dune with safety. She no ooner
'perceived her relatives., than she spring
i to meet lhern.,ui the most affectionate
Irflarmer.Ta gralytht
