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, Indeed. The mantuamaker was just gone, and she was sitting crying when Floretta came in. Floretta WWI her waiting maid,a good-natured smart girl, who grieved to see her young tnistresesucontinually unhap py; but she feared to own her pity, or tryio serve her with Lubin, lest she should offend her master who had been very kind to her father and pother; yet she thought it very odd so good a man should do such a :wicked thing miens a young ores= 'tare to marry him against her will; and feeling certaht that it was her ease 'she should certainly _ run away Awn' blot.

"OM yes, I know that; but theri we shall both grow old together, and neither of us can reproach the oth er." "Well, well, maiden, we will speak of this another time; thou wilt make one in the sports on the green on May-day, and thou wilt not per 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.

Easy told him it was his wife's wish; she and Gillian bad settled it all their,oern way, and he hadnotbing todo with it, as he never interfered with woman's busi ness, they knew best what pleased.

Poor Lubin, almost distracted, was Wandering op and dowq the church irardwhen Floretta spied him; who would bin have spoken to him, but dared not lest her muter should see her.

"A bird lathe hand Is worth two in the bush." 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 me she is obliged to marry in obedi ence to her parents, as if obedience to parents could break an oath solemn. ly given; however, you way tell her I'll come."

"Do I love thee ?ask the wolf ithe loveth the lamb; ask the kite if he loveth a chicken; ask the vintner if the wine be good; ask the farmer if the corn is ripe; ask—" "Ask ! ask! nonsense! ask your own foolish noddle if you will ever mend." • 1 W en ow Rhe liked "It is done; thou shalt be obeyed; the sheep heareth the voice of the shepherd, it shall be done; slow and sure, they stumble that run fast; what Is bred in the bone—" toity. will you never be done?"

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 totbe,kborebititagecitold her 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 when we ate about from Wale we love, or swifter when one la near them.

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 good children," said he, "I have on ly been making trial of your constan cy. I was in the wood last summer When you were seated beneath the old oak, and vowed to love each oth er forever and forever; t was desirous of trying the extent of female con stancy, and have therefore tempted Gillian with riches and grandeur; brit she has not been enticed by the false glare of wealth, and now with joy I reward your faithful love.

I am already re warded; the pleasure of making oth ers happy is the most supreme heti fitness this world can bestow, and that happiness is mine." The whole village reJoiced; Lubin and Gillian were married, and lived as happy as competence and faithful love could make them. They ever blessed the name of the good Mr. Steady, and loved and revered him as their friend and benefactor whilst he ever regarded them as his ' child ren, and was much more happy in bestowing the pretty Gillian on the youth she loved than he couldhave ;been in making her his wife without possessing her affections; and ne ful ly roved that the truly wise, the truly virtuous, are blessed themselves in conferring blessings upon others; he everendeavored. also to impress .linewbbeiitatigAgittiliftlegita g no- 111 of Mbar° meant for some and" wise purpose, though to us unknown. cc:= OLD-TIME BEAUTIES. Ancient and Nodern Women— About their Fascinations and Surronndings—Pleasant Treat. meat of a Pleasant Theme— Classic, Names and Familiar Names. 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.

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 gi ver iu Lodon.

She died in 18.19, and with her ended one of those few remain ing literary cliques, the like of which —sadly do I write it—we of the pres ent age are not to know except as 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.

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 ism during the rebellion made her 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 tea and cake Saturday morning re ceptions and Thdraday evening soireer .10 her house in Boston. Many .noted people—dear to us through their works—were proud to call Mrs. Otis their friend, and to en joy the quiet, elegant hospitalities of her modest Inge house en the corner of Joy and Mount Vernon streets.— The Inter-Ocean Chicago. . A gentleman asked an Irishman to do a small service, on the compie tion of which he rewarded Pat very liberally.
