OR, " THE SNOW-FLAKE.'' , BY ANNA JT. BATES. It was a wild, stormy" evening in March! The wind dashed fitful -gusts - of sl( , - j r ram against tue wmdows of the roon sleet and room where Captain Leslie and his wife were sitting. - The conversation iu which they had hitherto been engaged had lapsed into a silc nee, on ly brokeu by the fierce rush of the storm without. . A cheery fire glowed in the grate and diffused a rosy lustre over the whole apartment-that wore a pleasant andi home hke aspects The golden hands ofthb clock were pointing to the hour of twelve, when suddenly there was a sharp ring at the door, and. then the sound o retreating footsteps xuku ...v, )"') wv.- rose to go forth into the hall his wife cluLg to him in au infirmity of fear. : l 4 ' ' "Stay, my husband' she besought him; It 1 U 1.

Nothing was visible in the thick darkness; but 1 rcsentfy they heard the tfaiut,- feeblo vrailiug of a childand procuring a light, they found a large basket in the porch. With some curiosity they b re it in the warm lighted parlor; and folding back the wrapping in which it was enveloped, the form of a beautiful infant .appeared. "Its httle eyes we're closed in softest slumber, and a smile that told. of angel visions, r rested up- of a beautiful infant .appeared. Its little velvet lips, a uainiy rooe-oi WJjne, riehiv embroidered, and a cloak of.soft, rose 1 colored s atin protected tho little form; and from its neck,- Encircled by-a chain of gold, hung a small locket ot" antique and curious workmanship. - .

She was. musing with bitter f itensi planation accompanying the - child thus ty over the .falsehood and inconstancy of strangely thrown upon their protection. "WelJ, let us keep it," said Mrs.' Lesliex "we have no children of our own and t.. is one may live to be the comfort of our old age. it is eviaeniiy no common cnua aoa tr . , ... LI n I 1 my neart i3 strangely .warmed to wai dt it." Perhaps the thoug'it of her own unblessed infancy for sho never had a childhood , "rose befoie the speaker's mental vision.- Early orphaned, her marriage with Captain Leslie had relieved her from the drudgery aud bondage heaped upon her by a maiden aunt; so no wonder she pitied the desolate. "If you are willing to adopt the babe,'' replied herhusb nd, 'T have certainly nj objection. She shall be ; our daughter and we will call her Laura, or the Snow Flake, for was she not wafted to us in the midst of the storm ' , - Months, years went by like phantoms in that quiet home, and what changes did Time bring ? The roses that decked the bridal of the year were ..not .fairer than those that blushed on; Laura's cheek: and the . stars were not brighter than 1 her eyes, nor the winds sweeter than her voice. She had grown dear 413 life itself to her adopt ed parents and Mrs. Leslie found gre tt de light in the cultivation of her young mind When she was seven' years' of age, as nea as they could judge, a gr-t change came. A relative of Captain Leslie died, bequeath ing him a large fortune. Previous!, he had beeu far from rich; but hadanao-ed to live ' iipon half piy and a small annuity. Now their style of living-was necessarily greatly changed. They left their quiet home and" went to reside in the costly . mansion of the deceased relative. ' ' i ' . Pomp, splendor, and magnificence were now their attendants. Servants came and went to do their bidding; they .were sur rounded by gorgeous furniture, rich old pic- tiires, fair statues, and costly services of gold ana silver, uiut iuuue xue eem use ..iairv tale a round of pleasure and gay enter- tainmeht More. years went oV andJLaura wasi'a wbmana belle, a beauty, the admired ot all admirers, Jewels -that- miht have won a prince's . ransom- encircle 'l'- herfair, an gratified v 'friends surrounded her and ihe was happy,!
