"There, sir, take that forour aauci nrss," cried the beituttful Ellen Stanley to ner nusoand. accornnanviniT her exc ama uaiiyme ner exciama tion with a slap on his cheek, from the ! whitest and softest hand in the world !

The little one ap- lated wilh asionishment. The voice of her : i iii , . . ) , . I. i mistress, bidding her to take ihe child down ... - . . . to give him his supper, roused her from her lethargic surpri.-e and she obeyed in silence. EJlen Stanley was the ideal of a young wife. Taken, when but a child m years, from the hoim- of a father who idolized her, to be the presiding angel m il.c house hold of one to whom she had given her pure heart, she carried mio ihe matron all the graces of the bloomuiir girl. 'I heooil ness of her heart, and the sunny joyous ness of her disposition, overflowed m " thousand acts of unless gaiety. ,She sani; to every capricious melody that came into her head and laughed at all tunes, when there was cause and when there was not Her motion was almost a dance when she moved through the house and her smile, bright and cheerful as the sunshine, was nearly as constant ; ever active because she found it tedious to be unemployed, and a most examplary housewife she was ' The Llill'.eisbee ' That ever wrought in hive ' Ar.,1 nltn.rPtViPr i he li.Mi test . bri.rhtrst. most graceful, most winsome creature, '.hat ever man won to be the idol of Ins domestic sanctuary. Her husband called her his fay. and bestowed on her all poetical epi thets of admiration of fondness fur no' name that was not poetical and melodious would have suited to express her innocent loveliness With the gilts nature had bes- o ... . towed, she united a rare circulation her father had trained her mind in all the stud ies winch are :he highest branches of fe male education and of the accomplish incuts she was thoroughly mistress In deed, they came naturally to her and les sons were useful, chiefly, in repressing the wihl gaietv she infused into every thing 8ne ( specially her musical performan ces !f such they might be called which were outb irsts as impulsive and sponi.nn ous as the song of the mocking bird of her native home. Sweet Ellen! As yet she had known no sorrow and if beauty and good ness could hnve turned aside the shaft that enters the bosom of every mortal, she would have passed her life in a perpetual round of joy ! Hut mere is an arrow, swmt'i hihi muie cruel than the shaft of woe it is winged i.n.l hnrhed hv hate, and its aim is ever the voung, trusting nnd lovmg heart it is sped hv thn'hand of envv !

Her redundant hair wns simply parted over the temples, at.d reposed m a massy braid ; the bloom of youth and hap piness was on her cheek he looked ex pnsitelv lovely and was the adinircil of all observers.
