PLAIN ELIZABETH
It was always a Mystery to me why
there should be such a marked differ
ence between two children of the same
parents as there was between Elvirs .
and myself. But nature, thenglifre

freaks, has never given any satisfaer.

The Nelsons and Trevdnors, as far
back as could be remembered, were
celebrated for their physical beauty;
arid that added additional Mystery to
my case, and was probably the reason
why'l was christened Elizabeth.
We all know how suggestive a
name is ; and there was nothing about
mine calculated to arouse the imagi
nation.
nation. No ono ever thought of call
big me Lily, or Lizzie even; that would
have destroyed my individuality al
together.
It must haye beeh a source of great
delight to my parents, when another
daughter was given them, with all 'the
fairness of face and beauty , of forth
which had been the especial pride of
their ancestors. It made amends for
all_ the disappointment.they telt in me;
for among the earliest of my recollec
tiona are the remarks of the visitors,
WhO would contrast, with a never-to-be
forgotten emphasis, on the adVerb,
`How very pretty!'—and "How very
'plain !" I remember the lighting up of,
mamma's face, and the answering re
flection from tho baby's,' whose - pink
and white loveliness seemed not made
for contact with the world.
Aunt Trevenor, my mother's rela
tive, l)ved some fifteen miles from us
on a largeestate—the "bonne bouche,"
for which many a mouth was watering.
She lived entirely alone. as far as com
panionship went, furshe was too proud
to-associate—with— those—beneath—her,
and her servants were too well drilled
to venture beyond their proper sphere.
I never saw any one so independent
and self-reliant, as Aunt Trevenor.
She had not even &eat, or dog, to pet
orkeep her company; and her heart mußt,
have become at petrified and yello* as
. the gold she idolized:—for it there was
anything she loVetVit was money. It
cost an immense amount to keep the
estate in order, and tier pride extended
to everythingsonneeted with'the name
of Trevenor. I suppose that was the
reason why she never married, as
"Miss Trevenor, of 'Frevenors," • was
a title of too much distinction. to be
relinquished for plain ' Mre. Somebody
.or oilier.
The fame of my little sister's beauty
must have gone Abroad, though fifteen

she was three, and I was six years old,
there wae.a wonderful stir in the house

had so far disgraced herself as to marry
a Nelson, who had nothing to recom

‘i The baby— for she was a doll of a
thing—had never been named; but, wee
called Pink, Posey,' Angel, -Pet, and-
Darling, to-the extent of the calendar,
though never beyond the limit of our
affection. . Mother looked upon it as a
special interposition-of Providence, as
with a flutterof. pride and anxiety she
put the -
little beauty in her aunt's lap,
and christened it "her namesake.."
-Miss Trevenor's- cheek blushed at the
compliment, - for she well kneW, the ad

as a legacy any day, and inviting, us
all to Trevener, the stately lady rus
tled her satin dreiai through the hall,
and, disappeared 'among tile cushions
of the shining .coach, which mother
-declared-had been' the envy and ad
miration of the neighborhood. •
• Fortunatelythe call was short, and
by the time the rumble 'of the wheels
had left our ears, the quiet of the place'
was restored... , Only in - own houdli
was the, event talked' of and comment
ed upon; and ita,,effect, was felt in the
,nursery, kitchen and 'Parlor. ,
I don't think my father or mother
hated me, although they were ,very in
-different to •my well-being; but they :
Javished so much extra care ,m Elvira,
to my entire neglect, that if -1 • had
been a sensitive child it would have,
killed me. .
Once a month.we spent the day with
Aunt Elvira' at Trevenoro I could
not tell what sort of a reception ,she
gave,to.her relativeii, who owed thtiir
forgiveness . qntirely to beauty, for as
soon-as my feet touched the ground, I
was oil' wherever my fancy led

could not lightly be passed by,; but to

Thus we grew, not together; for no
sisters were more completely estranged;
she with her handsorrie expectations,
and 1 with nothing to•look forward to,
for, what prospects can possibly illu
minate the future of rigid with a plain
face; and no' expectations whatever ?
I don't think I ever built an air
castle—how, could I 4—but I led a,
contented, matter-of-fact sort of a life,
and was satisfied if I got through the
-day without a quarrel with, Vim; for
we never could, agree,—our natures
were so different.
We lived in a_manufacturing place
and father was the owner of the largest
flouring-mill in it.. He did a good busi
nessi and we lived in a s'tylc, that was
comfortable, without being calculated
to make_ any one envious.
I was sixteen when Aunt Tievenor
was taken with such a severe attack of
rheumatism as to 'confine her tcc:. her
room, and our regular family visit was,
of necestity, postponed. It wail all I
ever looke - d forward to, and I felt the;
disappointment keenly; .so I persuad
ed father to drive to Trevenor with
me, and leave me in charge ofthe house
maid. It was a bold move for me,„and
only my plain looks saved me from the
imputation of beiug a fortune-hunter.
'But it won favor at last; and I Was
never more happy in my life than
when 1 steppect out of the carriage
before the Trevenor mansion, and felt
free to do as I liked.
I introduced myself in the kitchen,
among my old-acquaintances, that they
might know I was on hand for what
ever was good in their department.
Afterward I went, singing through -the
great hallway, and up the wide stair
case, dropping my voice' as I neared
aunt's door. She was,all alone in a
great room; warmed by a-blazing Wood
tire, whose rays leaped over auctunder
the couch in which she lay, and yet
left, her always, in shadow.
'What are you doing here ?' she
asked, in her deep, gruff voice, as I
opened the door softly and peeped in.
I was so lonesome,' I answered,
closing-the di or behind me, and com
ing nearer to her-
'Lonesome I You don't look as
though you knew the meaning of
the word. But you will find out if
you stay he' &long,' and she sighed.
'Oh, may I stay ? I am always

you bring Elvira 1' •
'Mother was afraid you might be

her favorite had no inclidation to come;
nor mention how unwillingly consent
• iad been granted to me .It was only
fondness for the place, not for the so
ciety of the owner, that had prompted
the desire on my part; and .1 think she
knew it. However, we got along well
together; she was independent and so
Was I, dud the visit was extended to
weeks, then mouths—and I never went,

time, and nothing had proved so bene

the south of frauce Accordingly,
dither sold out his property and busi
'less, and made arrangements for a trip
to Europe. Aunt TreVenor approved
of the plan and made „it• feasible by,
taking-charge of Elvira,'and retaining
me—who had already- become part of
- her household. -I would have gone as
mamma's, maid rather than have miss,
ed the 'sights of the Old World; but
the family pride would notadmit of this.
Aunt Trevenor's rheumatism hn
proved when Spring inaugurated
warmer days, and she was able to take
us out driving, and interested herself
in our amusements, more than I ever
thought she was capable of doing. It
-was a study. to watch her flee as we
drove through the town, in the suburbs
of which stood her estate, as her keen
eyes took in the expressions of admi
ration bestowed on the - fit:rigid beside
her. I used to look at, Elvira myself
-and wonder if all that beauty was
real; if .icivould vanish from our eyes,
as some light clOud wo had'watched at
sun setting." 'BM, not 'nor'° real and
,tangible 'was her,, beauty than the
pride—the old Trevenor pridewhich
might not have been my sister's had
they given her:any other name. Was
it her fault that it had been fostered
"Since her birth; that wealth and and
station had been held 'up as 'prizes for
beauty to" Win 1 • Having come into

I was always_on the_ look out •for
some fine.bit of -"scenery, for which the
country, was remarkable, and the notes
of admiration fell unheeded-on my ear;
not so however time tramp of a coming
steed, which I felt sure, by a sort •ot
spiritual magnetism, was' bringing good
or'evil to us. Horse and rider came

nese was not the least of them. Gilbert
was as kirid and attentive to mcas to

but one evening I had a revelation.
I had been busy all day. writing Alp
accounts for my aunt, who had yield
ed the duty to the, since her infirmities
prevented her attending to them, and
at night I was too weary to Sleep. The
whole multiplication table seemed to
have entered into et-conspiracy to rib
me of my•slumbers, and the figures
had joined a demon ; dance, and were
flying hither and yOn, resisting every
attempt to bring them to order. There
was a method in their madness • most
aggravating; and in a terrible effort to
drive them out of my • thoughts, I
aroused to the consciousness of the
sound of a boman voice.. It was low,
and. delicately modulated—my sister's
voice, beyond a,dmibt Only she and
I slept ou that side of. the hotise.
I Stepped softely to the iVindOw and
listened— Toe well, also I recogiiized
the tones of the deep bass voice, ae
every word smote my heart like a
barbed arrow, and I sank to the floor,
lost to everything but a dense of my
w n misery. Why did T not discover'
this before ! Why bad the days gone
by, in such -a bewildering blaze 'of
beauty 'as to leave me 'unconscious of
my position, and in danger of com
plete shipwreck ! Never before had
I realized the power of beauty, and
while I strove to overcome' my bitter
feelings of disappointment the. esy of
agony would burst through every
prayer. Unloved and unlovely !
Could a greater curse fall upon any

But in the silence and solitude of
my °wit' room. I buried whatever hopes

- I sat with Aunt Trevenor all the
next day, and resisted all her appeals
to join" Gilbert and.. Elvira. I used
every plertitat_ever a I:von:tau invent
ed wIUM her inclination was against
submission, and tried to appear un
conscious, although I felt the keen
eyes of my aunt piercing through the
very joints ,of my -Minor.. I even
took my meals with her, an arrange
ment she evidently enjoyed, since i 1
continued. from that -forth. Bat I was
paid or my sacrifice, for I loved my
sister, and - the brightness other face
was such that a glory seemed -to cove
it; and when I considered how incapa
citated she was for anything else, I
thought it- was God's will that she
should be forever shrilled in the ten
derest depths of a strong and loving
heart.
Still there was the restlessness of
uncertainty in my- heart; and those
early autumn trip were a titling type
of the desolation that waited on the
steps of Time. . •
Of course my aunt c ,uld not fail to
discern how matters stood; and one

'Yes, you. There is something

In what way. I wondered, for if

—she could not,. imagine that I would

Strong natures [rank suddenly;
and with scarcely a momeni's.warning,
Aunt.Trovenor was seized with a vie
lent illness, and expired_ in my arms
'before the physician. arrived. Short,
sharp, and decisive. Such - had been
the character of her life, and thus
I suddenly it ended. She looked up in

I think my face must' have looked

'lt is you I want, Elizabeth. Your

my reg ird. From the first', I admired
your character and Aunt Trevenor

Tins must have been what she
meant when she expressed her senti

a little, and grew less stony while my
lover continnedfilOpleadings; and oh!
forgive'me if I yielded to• his earnest
protestations, and for awhile forgot
everything but the luxury of being
loved.
When he left-me I went to my .room
flushed with the glory of the new hap
tram; and my mirror retrieved the
character it had always-had in my es
timation, by reflecting the beautiful
face of Elizabeth Nehion '
Does love make us all selfish for a
time? I think so; for I scarcely
thought of Elvira during the remain
der of the day. I set'by my window
at twilight, looking across the •fields—
my own- property and the woods sa z
cred to . those early walks With . Gilber t.
and wondered that I had been so rec
onciled to my fate, when I discovered
that no heart beat responsive to my

there in loving and being loved !7

Theri I - -thought of Elvira—and a
sharper pang overcame the ecstacy of
the.moment. Was I a true -- sister?
to wreck- her happiness -and have her
curse me forever?—No, no!—Ood for
bid! And there, on the very spot where
.I had made the sacrifice some - months
before, I again renounced my hopes,
and re-buried them. Not without tears
and agony-itlmost insupportable; but
pride had conquered love before my
day, and should. duty be less valiant ?
AB soon as 1 could command myself
I penned a note to Gilbert, and left it
on the piano, where he would be .sure
to see it when ho called, later in the
evening.
Elvira was able to join me at sup
per, and I thought I .had never seen

seldom betrayed the heart by change
of expression or color; but those who
have passed through the same trial,
know what the effort to control my
feelings cost me.
That night Ldidlotalcep—Lthtaght,
I heard voices. outside my window,
but I would not listen. I was glad
when m9rning came, that I might re
sume my ditties, and find in employ
ment some escape from the pressure of
disappointment. I waited breakfast
for Elvira, but she did riot make her
appearance. It was notlung unusual,
as she was subject to attacks of sick
headache, and frequently kept her
room for several days. .But . some .
premonition of evil - drew me thitlier;
and there I learned the perfidy of those
whose love had Made the fragrance
of these latter days. It was all swept
.away nowt mid a desert where nothing
grew that could. charm my solitude,
seemed to stretch out to lire's horizon.,
At this time of trial I took Ann

differed from my aunt; though in other

the poor people of Trevernor, and made
friends in many an humble home.
Three years passed by, and I never
heard from my sister ; though I fre

I was down to Mrs. Morse's yester

having been to see a sick - lady who had
been_ brought bropght to:Mrs. Runyon's._
.She
lidaif - Was enough to make one's beart

and so beautiful. Her'saying that made
me feel all in a quiVer,sand I stopped
in at Mrs. Runyon's on my way lich.
Oh ! Mias Elizabeth,
, it 'was a aprrjr
sight. Her hair wt's as White as the:

balls of fire. She Molted at me and
seemed to want to recognize me. but
couldn't. I haven't closed my eyes all
night, for warring to tell you as soon
as I could this morning? .
Order the close carriage ; we will
bring her home;' 'I said in a hoarse
whisper.
Ann threw her arras about"my waist,
and mistress and maid wept in
pathy.
We brought her back, delirious as
she was, laid her in her own bed, in
her own room, where nothing had been
'disturbed since she vacated it, for I
was' jealous of every moment that she
received the care of strangers.'
ror days . and weeks' we tended her
with unremitting devotion; and at last
we had hope to cheenns in our almost
hopeless endeavors.
For. awhile the events of_the.past

as though we had never been separat

and could sit by the window and enjoy
the delicious breezes that swept through
the woods, and over the flowers until
they wero filled with fragrant odors
she, seemed to gather up the links of
her broken dreams, and fit them al - piin
into her past life.
I watched her that she did not grow

carelessly.

' What was there to tell, Elvira ?
Don't distress yourself unnecessarily '
He'—she never mentioned his
name—' he told me you were trying to
win him ; were artful and designing ;
and I, fearful of losing him, listened to
his proposal- to leave you without a
word of explanation. 'lt was cruel..- I
always wanted to return' to bee you ;
.but he would not let me I was .young
,and giddy, and ire - extravagant HO
Ho cursed me, becaUse I refused to beg
money from one we had both wronged,
and said that but for my pretty face he
would have been master of Trevener.
Elizilbeth ! thank God, your face has
brought you no such anguish as mine!'
Our tears filled the silence, until Ann
came in to light Hie lamp, v'hen Elviru

her the recollections were too painful
for both. We laid the men ory of the
past away, as one May lay the blood
stained armor worn iu battle, reverently
aud.with tears,-never desiring to gaze
upon its or recall those scenes which
were marked-with death aild desolation.
My sister's white hair—her crown of
suffering, which added to, rather than
detraLged from her beauty— was to•me
a constant reminder of tie agony she
had passed through.
Aunt, Trevenor must have knoWn
her nephew's luibits, and felt averse to
having her property squandered by one
who had so little pride in the natne he
bore. Why she did not leave it to
ElVira must ever remain a mystery. r
know it was not love alone that prompt
ed itr bestowal on me, but diplomacy
as well, for she doubtless read nhe
destiny written on the face of "plain
t.'e."
She knew that I was too indepen
dent to ask favors of others, and she
made it unnecessary. I thank her for
it; and I thank God that he has made
it possible for me to do the good deeds
my heart dictates. -
I do not_ dare to know the -fate of
Gilbert Trevenor, though there is a
satisfaction in thinking !hat "the mills
of the gods grind slowly;" and for the
injury he has done, my sister, I hope
and pray that be stay be pursued by a
Nemesis us unrelenting aS fate, till he
shell repent of his great sin, and find
forgiveness of God.
The Blackbird
When a blackbird once learns a
tune he never forgets it Aor any part
of it I once knew a bird that could
whistle "Polly - Hopkins" with won
derful accuracy: His....owner . sold him
at the same time making his purchaser
acquainted with — the bird's favorite
tune . As soon as-he got himl home,
he at once hung up the blackbird, and
on going to the piano struck - up "Pol
ly Hopkins." The liird's master,
however introduced parts into the tune
he had never heard. before; so after
listening awhile, he began hissing;
fluttering his wings, and- otherwise
signifying .his distaste of the whole
performance. Much surprised( 'the
gentleman let off'. playing, :and then
the blackbird opened his throat, and
favored. ,his new master with lils.ver-
Si at of "Polly "Hopkins," nor would
he ever listen with any patience to
any other version. This' same black
bird, after staying. hi the service ,of the
above mentioned gentleman for twq
years, was adopted l:ty a serious fami
ly, where ,"Polly . Hopkins," and all,
such profanity, were seduously avoid
ed. Wheneverpoor 'Joe" (the blaCk
bird's' niiine)_ attempted to-- strike up
the old' tune,-a cloth was thrown over
the Cage and he ivas -silenced. The
family consisted of an old lady 'and
her two- daughters,, and every night",
at 7 o'clock, praYere • were read, and

I dare not try to count the ntfrubers.
Nobody dares. Nor would it make
any difference if I did. Beyond a very
narrow range, dear reader, pumbetrdo
not affect your sensibilities nor .aoy
man's. I 'tell you that one hundred
thousand people were Pled in the
earthquake in Peru, and you are sorry;
if I tell you chat ten thousand people
were killed, and I can give you some.
little account how one of them Suffered,
yeiu are. mach more sorry; '
if I tell you
that one hundred were killed, and that
I saw then killed, and heard their
cries as they died, and have here the
orphan of one whom I brought home
with me, you begin for the first time
to. feel that it was indeed a terror of
terrors ; an 1 if there tyere only five
killed, if those five were your own
Dick and Fanny and Frank, and the
rest, why there is a sorrow that you
will carry With you to your. grave. ',So
I will not persecute you with the num
bers. There were three lubdred years
of it ; the first three ships that sailed
carried, as we saw, three hundred
slaves ; and the last that sailed carried
one .hundred and fifty-two, of whom
one hundred and forty-nine lived to
reach Ouba and to be set frep„ 'Many

—that the Christian slave-trade then
carried one hundred and fifty-thousand ,
slaves adress - eve 'rkyear, - or startedwith
them; that the Nahometan slave-trade
of Eastern Africa took fifty„thousand
more. 'This was long after the trade
had been prnnonneed piracy by all the
commercial nations,' and even aftr _

it had been before' nostatistics'pretend
to tell. Id 1753 the then new town--
of Liverpool employed one hundred
-and one vessels iu- the trade, and those
vessels that year took thirty thonsand
slaves to the British colonies. Besides
these, there 'were the French, Spanish,
Dutch and Portuguese American-col

to give him rt_' square funeral," instead
of putting the body in the usual way,

by way of service for. the dead, "Thar

They sought the services of a miner,
who bore the reputation of having been
at one time of his career "a powerful
preacher in the States " And then,

accustomed opiate, to while away the
time, began fingering the earth, digger,

Gradually looks were exchanged ;'
whispering increased until it hecinse
loud enough to attract the attention of
their parson. He openqd his eyes, and
stared at the , whispering miners,,--'
"What is it, boys ?" Then, as sudden
