ter. e„, lone as he had a Mug orate
and u the corner after dinner,
he car little how the midi! went
on: d ether the nation was. rich or
your, at peace or in warrwhether
times were good or bad, all was the
same to Farmer Easy. He took eve
ry thing in good heart, whilst his
wife, Dame Cteely.ruled the roast;
whatever she proposed, the farmer
replied, "'Yes, sure, if tile likest,
dame."
Farmer Easy 'hade daughter,
called Gillian, a ve rsprety girl,
admired by the whole village. Mr.
Steady had often noticed her modest
artless manner, and proposed to her
father and mother that, she should
become his wire; they- were both
highly delighted at, this proposal.
Dame Cicely was almost Out of her
wits with joy, to have her . daughter
the mistress of the great house, ride
in her own coach, and to be herself
dressed out in fine clothes; oh. how
charming! She looked in the glass
to see what colors were the most be
coming to her complexion; and de
termined that her dress on the day
of her daughter's wedding should he
the gayest that had ever been seen in
the village of Maybury; she would
wear pink silk petticoat, and a blue
silk gown, with yellow trimmings;
scarlet ribbon on her cap, and green
bows on her shoes; and she could not
help thinking, if she were only twen
ty years younger, and unmarried,
how many sweethearts she should
get.
Damp Easy bad all the Joy to her
self, for poor Gillian was wretched;
being attached to Lubin, an honest
lad, who had been brought up in a
neighboring village with his uncle.
He had asked the consent of Farmer
and Dame Easy to marry Gillian,
who had agreed to it; and lie was
now gone to the west, country to ask
his father's consent also; and on his
return the wedding was to take place
directly. Gillian could not bear the
thoughts of giving upl Lubin, who,
was young and hadsome, for old
Steady, who was ugly and formal.
She did not care for riches; she would
rather milk the cows and feed the
poultry, with Lubin for h husband,
than be the greatest 'lady of the land,
without him but her mother told her
she must marry Mr. Steady. Gillian
believed that no young woman ever
dared to disobey her parents;and she
knew her mother would Tie obeyed,
for her father did every thing she hid
him, and never said nay.
Gillian was taken to live in the
great house, was dressed out in nice
clothes; had- masters to teach .her
dancing and murk, and servants to
wait upon ter; but Gillian was very.
unhappy, day and night she thought
of Lubin; and 'when alone, was al
ways in teats. She was afraid to tell
Mr. Steady that.she disliked him and
Loved another, still hoping Lubin
would return and find some way of
getting her out of Mr. Steady's hands,
and, if she was but once the wife of
Lubin, why then it wink' he her
duty to obey him, and no sin to diso
bey. her mother.
Day after day she watched and
waited, but Lubin did not return, and
her mother beganto taunt her saying,
he was unfaithful and had forsaken
her. Gillian knew better, she felt
assured Lubin was true; she was al,
ways trying his truth, and in all her
trials be was ever constant; when she
tied her garters round the bed post,
repeated verses nine times, eminent
backwards into bed, she was sate to
dream of Lubin; or, if she put apple
pippins on her cheeks, and gave them
names, Lubin was sure to stick close,
though all the rest fell off;' then. if
she pared a turnip and threw the
rind over her head, it would be sure
to make the letter L, and. therefore.
to doubt him was imposible, yet she
was very unhappy at the delay. She
feared he was either ill, or his father
would not consent; but how to get a
letter sent to hid) was the difficulty;
she had money enough (for Mr.
Steady, gave her plenty) to pay any
body well, yet who to trust she could
not tell, and if they were 'to betray
bar, what could she then do? Mr.,
Eiteattywould send her home, and
her mother would perhaps turn her
put of doors.
It was a tryingsituation, she knew
not what was to become of her; it
was now the 28th of April, and on
May-day she was to be married; the
wedding clothes were making, but
the pretty white silk dress. all trim-
ed with satin ribbon, so fine and
handsome. to her looked very . ugly,

"I should like them very well,"

not love thee as much as he does?"
"Perhaps you may, sir, but I don' t .

"Unless what Gillian Y"
"Unless Lubin was to gray/ old

"But it is a very pretty mask, sir;

"Lubin will be old as well as me,

"OM yes, I know that; but theri
we shall both grow old together, and
neither of us can reproach the oth

"Well, well, maiden, we will

haps at last be sorry thatthou art be
loved by Steady, the aged Quaker;
good-bye, sweetheart; good-bye.
umph !"
"News! news! m'am (said Floretta
jumping In), good news! Lubin is ar
rived; come to my window, and you
shall see him walking in the church
yard. and then we will consult what
is best to be done."
It was indeed true; Lubin was re
turned. His long delay had been oc
casioned by the illn e ss and death of
his poor old father, who had be
queathed him all his property; and he
was now come to fetch t iiliun to his
native village, where he wished they
should live after they were married.
He wits wearied with his longjourn
ey, having walked upwards of a hun
dred miles; for in those days there
were few opportunitied of travelling
except on foot, except for those who
kept carriages, or could afford to hire
horses. Lubin's heart danced with
Joy as he drew near Maybury, and he
pictured to himself the jovial wel
come of the old , couple, and the
blushing constrained pleasure of his
pretty gillian. He approached the
door and gave a sharprap, which not
being answered, he knocked again,
and was surprised by being answered
by old Cicely from the window; who
pretendingrnot to know him, bade
him go about his business, as she was
busy. But Lubin not choosing to be
answered so, she comedown and met
him outside the door, not giving him
any invitation to enter the house.
She informed him of Gillian's ex
pected greatness; and told him he
might be jogging while his boots
were green, for she had not anything
to say to him; he remonstrated, but
all to no purpose; the old woman on- :
ly laughed at him, and bidding him
good-bye, shut the door in his firm.

of seeing Gillian,,and learning wheth

Lubin accosted him, but gained lit

a wife In his own station elite, and
think no more aboutaillian;she was
not for him, and there was an end.
Poor Lubin, almost distracted, was

dared not lest her muter should see

aliening, and the messenger fixed up
on was Solomon, Mr. Steady's own
man a lover of Floretta ' s; at least
he wished to be one; and it pleased
Florettli, who was a dirt, to amuse
herself with his formality and awk
wardness. He was tall and thin,
turd Waked so upright that never, by
any chance, Mite see his own toes;
full ofproverbs and wise sayings;
nearly fifty years of age; and so In
toknahly ugly that it .was the very
essence of vaults which could induce
him to suppoee for one moment that

Would-look at him with an eye of
'kindness. Floretta coaxed him a .
little, and though he feared that by
bringing Lubin and Gillian to a
meeting he should offend his master,
yet he could riot resist ' her entree-
Iles, hut, smiling upon ber, pressed
his folded hand „on het breast, and
himself on his tiptoes, said,

"An egg to-day is b dtter than a

"Prithee, good Solomon."
"A bird lathe hand Is worth two

Eloretta could with difficulty get
her precise lover away, who, slowly
marching along like a stately gran
dor met with Lubin, and bade him
come to Gillian at the garden gate
by eight o'clock. as she had some
thing par ticular to say to him.
"Ay, said Lubin angrily, "to tell

"This is not the way to mend, Mr.

"Pardon me, I pray thee, give me

but it is a long lane that has never a
turning."
"And do you really love melt 'Mr.

"Do I love thee ?ask the wolf ithe

The tender hearted Gillian was
uneasy lest Floretta should make
poor Solomon unhappy, but Floretta
laughed, and tot her he was to stu
pid ever to kw&his tteart for love,
do she need not owful on his
account. Lubin true to his appoint
ment, was first at the garden gate,
though in no very good humor, the
villagers had irritated his mind,
some pitying, some blaming, and
some laughing at him; and he would
not have come to met Gillian, only,
as he said, to see how she could look
him in the face after using him so ill,
but the sight of his dear Gillian in
a moment put his boasted anger to
flight; and when she told him her
dislike to the marriage, and that
Floretta and she had laid a scheme
to put off the wedding till he could
be sent to, ho was enraptured.
Floretta told him what he had
best do, and he promised to under
take it; accordingly on the following
morning he was waited upon by Mr.
Steady, who had never seen him, as
he bad only known Gillian a few
months before when she was on a
visit to the Village, where his uncle
ii,ved; he therefore boldly solicited an
aildience and It was - granted. • Lu
bin apologited for troubling him, but
said that as he kindly undertook to
redress all wrongs which came with
in his knowledge, he had made bold
to trouble him about a little business
of his own, and hoped he would for
give him. Steady bade him speak
freely, and if it was in his power to
serve him he would. Lubin then
informed him there was an old man
who, because be was rich, was cruel
enough to take his sweetheart from
him, and was going tO marry her;
and that her parents bad formerly
given their consent for hie marriage
with her, but now forgot their
promises, and insisted on the young
woman marrying the rich old fellow,
though they knew it was against her
will, and that she never could be
happy. Steady, told him he was
sorry for him. and that his ease was
a hard one; bade him be on the lawn
to-morrow, and inquired if the old
man who had injured him would be
there, then on Lubin assuring him
he would he gave him a sealed pa
per, bidding him direct It to theat per
son and expressing a hope
then e
be right.
The morning came, and Gillian
was very anxious. Steady spoke of
his happiness in making her a bride,
and she was terrified lest_ she should

inarlY nott im fea a r t , f lm or t if b tl u le t
worst came to the worst, she could
run away with Lubin, and settle • all
that way.
The dancers were assembled on
the green, and every countenance
looked gay and happy, save Lubin
and - Gillian.. Clad in her bridal
white she came leaning on the arm
ofold Steady,who squeez edlher hand,
and looked al firer with a degree of
fondness which would have driven
Established 1818.
Lubin mad, had ne not hoped the
paper which be held in his hand con.
tamed a written order from Mr.
Steady, that he should marry the
girl he loved, though the Quaker
would be Indeed surprised to end;
that girl was his own sweetheart
Mr. Steady took his seat, and gave
a question to be expounded, when he'
who might be fortunate enough to
guers it, was to receive the premium.'
They all listened very quietly, while
he inquired if any present could tell
him: "what of all things in the
world was the longest and the short
est, the swiftest and the slowest, the
most precious, the most neglected.
and without which nothing could be .
done." One said it was the sun, an
other the earth, a third that it was,
light, At length. Lubin advaeped,
and, bowing with great moddsty,
said he believed it was Time.
"Nothing," he said, "can be longer,
because it will last forever nothing
can be shorter, because It is gone in
a moment; nothing can go Blower

Gillian and Lubin threw them
selves at his feet, but their hearts
were too full to speak. Steady look
ed at them with pleasure : "My

Hypalia, the Greek philosopher
and religious martyr, Zenobia, the
beautiful but unfortunate Palmyrian
Queen, and Aspasia, the companion
and competitor of Pericles, and of
whom Madame de Stael says: "She
is a model of female loveliness, an
Alexander of heroism," are scarcely
prototypes of any of the women of
our modern times. Yet the history
of the last and present centuries fur
nishes many instances of notable wo
men who have made their influence
felt in the affairs of their time. The
character of that influence, and to
what good end, are not always appa
rent, but the fact and the magnitude
are undoubted.
Madame de Pompadour probably
furnishes the most notable example
that can be found in any age or
country of what an education in
tended merely for show, in conjunc
tion with woman's fact, can accom
plish. Ofonseure pareutage, she was
adopted and educated by a rich fi
nancier, and married her devotedly.
She, however, left her cousin. M.
Normay l'Elioles, who was said to
be a man of whom any woman
might be proud, and who loved her
husband to enjoy the royal favor of
Louis XV., who made her the Mar
quis de Pompadour. She became
the close friend and political advi
ser of the King, the undoubted
Premier of France—appointing Min
isters, Ambassadors, Generals, and
maintaining correspondence with
foreign courts. The Royal Council
convened in the boudoir. Maria
Theresa, for political ends, address
her as "ma cousin." Her extrava ;
gance knew no limit; she lightened
the Kings treasury during her short
reign by over $160,000,000. She died
at about forly-tive, at the zenith of
her power. This woman acquired
and held her influence by sheer
force of what might be called surface
fascination, her education having
been of the ornamental type, ex
pressly confined to music, elecution
and drawing. She possessed great
beauty of face and figure, and cul
tivated dress as a fine art. In tem.
perament cold, heartless and ambi
tious, every gram of fat* and person
she made subservient to some selfish
purpose. Her only power undoubtiy
lay in theskliful handlingof her forces
to meet the demands of the vacillat
ing King.
Among the women famous for
beauty, wit and want of modesty in
the time of Louis XIV., Ninon de
L'Enclus was the most notorious.
Though openly depraved she was
not entirety excluded from the high
er ranks of society. The young bum
of Madame de Sevigne was said . to
have been as enamored of Ninon
when she was fifty-four years old
as was his father in his youth. She
is said to have preserved her beauty
and appearance of youth to the last.
Madarnede Steel was one of the
French women who did not rule so
ciety or,fascinane by her beauty or
vices. She amused herself at the
early age of eleven by writing come
dies tragedies. She was the first
leader of society both during and af
ter the Empire. Her fine mind,
popularity as an authoress and ' un
willingness to join his party incur
red Napoleon's hatred, and he never
ceased in his persecutions of her so
long as he had the power to annoy.
Banished from Paris by order of the
Emperor she was an exile tbr ten
years, and friends who visited her
were exiled. The last four years of
her life were the most brilliant of her
career. The Restorationists hailed
with eagerness the return of the tal
ented daughter of the Minister of the
Bourbons; the newspapers were de
lighted to have a few words from

charm of manner, and perfect ease
of grace in conversation, naturally
acquired in her fiveand twenty years

London, is one of the landmarks of
modern society. To Mrs. Montrign's
entertainments, crowded the scholar
and the politician, the wit, the crit
ic the orator. It was at the meet
ings of the literati at this house that
the soubriquet "blue stocking," so
long applied to literary wouien,
originated. It arose from a remark
upon the stockings of Dr. Stilling
fleet—that learned divine being an
oddity and a sloven. A foreigner
present cried: "Les has bleus," and
the society was afterward known as
the Blue Stockings, denoting that
full dress then in the evening was to
be dispensed with. No English wo
man has ever so completely succeed
ed in deceiving men and women
from the trivialties of society to the
disquisition of literature and science
as did Mrs. Montagu. She was clev
er as a writer. Her essay on Stairs
tieare was pronounced by Beattie
the most elegant piece of criticism
in our language or any other. Mrs.
Bontagu was the Madame du Def
rand of London. And her fame as
the queen of society rested not only
on her intellect, her essays, her con
versational talent, but also on the
solid basis of being the best dinner

Sidney Lady Morgan was born on
shipboard between Ireland and Eng

wrote for the periodicals. She used

Those two guineas, sbe said, were

lived to eighty-two, to figure in the

a fund of Irish drollery, which was
never quenched till the death of her
husband. She died in 18.19, and with
her ended one of those few remain

—sadly do I write it—we of the pres

matters of history.
That American women have not
been taught "wit in six lessons"—as
they do in France—that they have
not made an art of conversation—
have not held those brilliant coteries
whose witty scintillations have gone
forth to astonish the world, is owing
to the fact that Ainerican society
came in just as that fashion was go
ing out. But that there have been
many "queens" of our society no one
can doubt; the sway of beauty and
fashion being essentially loyal.
The wife of John Adams, our sec
ond Presldent,spent her early years in
England and France, and as Mr. Ad
ams' wife gracefully performed her
part in the higher circles of social
and political lite, both before and af
ter her husband become President.
Mrs. Hancock, wife of John Han
cock, Governor of .11q , :achusetts,and
afterward President of the first Con
gress. was acknowledged to possess
wonderful beauty. She was thor-
oughly high-bred, had a courtly_
manner and tine conversational pow
ers. She was for years considered
one of the "wonders of the • age,"
and was visited until the close of her
life by distinguished persons from
foreign countries. as well as of her
Own.
Mr. .1. J. .Roosevelt was. a leader
of society in ?New York for a long
time. She had had the advantage of
the best society abroad when quite a
young lady, and was married in Par
is in 1831, in the presence of many
distingulsed friends, among them
General Lafayette, who gave the
bride away.
In later days Mrs. Jessie Fremont
was our most noted conversational
ist. Her early experience with her
father in Washington society, her ex
tensive travels with her husband
over every part of her own country,
and her great natural talents and
vivid imagination made her conver
sation particularly spirited and bril
liant. Her talk always sparkles with
lively wit and picturesque, illustra
tion, and appears wholly unstudied.
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis was the
"noblest Roman of them all." + tier
conspicuous and unflagging patriot

name more pleasantly familiar to us
than that of any other living wo
man.lt was many years ago that
she established those delightful little

Many .noted people—dear to us
