Jassia, a preat reader and qnoter of Niakspeare, would sav. And trnlv, who could have thought that I, a plain trovernes, liuild in mv old acre have Income a writer. Vet T cannot invent a plot I must write nothing but truth. le ranse- rpcollectinjr painfully that in my first sentence I have sinned atrainst truth by entitling Cassia my niece and name-child," when, strictly speaking, she is neither the one nor the other. Mie is no blood-relation at all, and my own name happens to be Cas sandra. I always disliked it heartily until Mr. Sutherland called me l!ut X forgot that I must explain a little. Mr. Sutherland was no, thank Heav en. is, a very pood man; a friend of my .ate father, and of the same busi nessan Indian merchant. When in my twenty-tilth year my dear father tiled, and we were ruined a quiet way of expressing this, but in time one learns to speak so quietly of every pang Mr. Sutherland was very kind to my mother and to me. I remember, as though it were yesterday, one day, when he sat with us in our little parlor, and hearing my mother callincr me , t assie," said laughingly that I always lui mm in mmn ot a certain Indian spice. "In fact," he added, looking af fectionately at mv dear, gentle, little mother, and approvingly yes, it was approvingly, at me "in fact, I think we uiree sitting thus, with myself in the center, might be likened to mvrrh, aloes, and cassia." One similitude was untrue; for he was not bitter but "sweet as summer." However, from that tune he alwavs called me Cassia. I rather like the name, and latterlv it was very kind of him to There I am forestalling mv history again: When I was twenty-five, as I said, I first went out as governess. This nlan was the result of manv consultations between my mother and myself.. A hard thing was my leaving home; but I found I could thereby earn a larger and more regular salarypart of w hich be ing put by, would sometime enable me to live altogether with my mother. Suc h were her plannings and hopes for the future. As for my own Hut it is idle to dwell upon Uiinsrs so long past. God knew best, and it all conies to the same at the end of life. It was through Mr. Sutherland that I got my first situation. He wrote my mother a hurried letter, saying he had arranged for me to enter- a family cm eernrhg whom he w ould explain before my departure. lint something hin dered his coining; it was a public meet ing, I remember; for, though still a young man, he was held in much honor among the city merchants, and knew the affair of India wall, from earlv res idence there. Of course, having these duties to fulfill, it was natural he should not recollect my departure; so I started without seeing' him, and with out knowing more of rny future abode than its name, and that of my employ er. It was a Yorkshire village, ami the gentleman whose family I was going to was a Mr. Ie l'oer. My long journey was dreary God knows how dreary! in youth one'sufTers so much; and parting from rny mother was any time n sufficient grief. In those days railways were not numer ous, and I hail ta journey a good way by coach. Alxnit eleven at night I found myself at my destination. At the door a maid-servant appeared; no one else: it was scarcely to be expected by "the governess."' This was a new and sad "coming home" to me. I was shown to my bedroom, hearing, as I passed the landing, much rustling of dresses and "squittling" away of little feet. (I ought to apologize for that odd ! expression, which I think I learned when I was quite a child, and used to I go angling with my father and Mr. U Sutherland. It means a scattering of! in all directions, as a shoal of minnows do when you throw a pebble among them.) I asked if the family were gone to bed, and was informed "no; '"so I ar- ' ranged my dres and went down-stairs, unconsciously reassured by the fact that tho house was neither so large nor so aristocratic as my very liberal salary hail inclined me to expert. "W ho shall I say. miss?" asked the rather untidy servant, meeting me in the lobby, and staring with all her eyes, as if a stranger were some rare sight. "Miss 1'rj'or," I said, thinking re- ' gretfully that I should be henceforth that, and not "Cassia;" and seeing the maid still stared, I adJtxl, with an , effort: "I am the. new governess." So under that double announcement I appeared at the parlor-door. The room was rather dark: there were two candles; but one had been extin guished, and was being hurriedly re lighted as l entered. At first I saw nothing clearly: then I perceived a lit tle pale lady sitting at one end of th table, and two half-crown up girls,. j .i i, : i . ' uresseu in Kuiii!-"iit-iu-ie costume, seated primly together on the . sofa. There was a third; but she vanished out "r of one door as I entered the other, ' "Miss Pryor, I believe?" said a timid voice so timid, that I could hardly be- j lieve tluat it was a lady addressing her ; f overness. I glanced at tieri nbe waa a . ittle woman with pale hair aid light, eyes frightened-looking eyes that ; just rose and foil in i mirtu'te. 'J said' "I was Miss Pryor, and concluded I ad : dressed Mrs. I fc'eiPT.J? ie answered, "Yes, yes;" .amhheld- oit, hesitatiuglyj a thin. cold, bird-like- hand, which I took rather warmly thai otherwise; for I felt really sqrxy, for her evident ner vousness. It seemed so strange for anylody to be afraid of me. "My daughters,' Miss rrvor," she then said, in a louder tone. W hereupon the two girls rosr, courtesied, blushed seem ingly more from awkwardness than modesty and sat down aeain. I shook h.uidd with both, trying to take the initiative-and make myself sociable and at home a difficult matter, my position i feeling much like that of a fly in an ice- ' house. "These are my pupils, then?" said I, cheerfully. "Which is Miss Zillah?" fur I remembered Mr. Sutherland had mentioned that name in his letter, and . its peculiarity naturally struck me. lie mother and daughters looked rather blankly at each oilier; and the former said: "This is Miss Le l'oer and Miss Matilda Ziliah is not in the room at present." "Oh, a third sister?"' I observed. "No," rather pertly answered Miss Le l'oer; "Zill is not our sister at all, but only a sort of distant relation of pa's, whom he is very kind to and maintains at his own expense, and who mends our stockings and brushes our hair of nicrhts, and whom we are very kind to aNo." "Oh, indeed!" was all I said in reply to this running stream of very provin-oially-spoken and unpunctuated Eng lish. 1 was rather pu.zled. too; for if my memory was correct and I general ly remembered Mr. Sutherland's letters very clearly, probably because they were themselves so clear he had par ticularly mentioned my future pupil, Zillah lie Poer, and no Miss ! l'oer besides. I waited with some curiosity for the girl's reappearance: at last I ventured to say: "I should like to see Miss Zillah. I "understood" here I hes itated, but thought afterward that plain speech was lest "I understood from Mr. Sutherland that she was to be my pupil." "Of course, of course," hastily said the lady, and I fancied she colored slightly. "Caroline, fetch your cous in." - Caroline sulkily went out. and shortly returned, followed by a girl older than herself, though clad in childish, or rather servant fashion, with short pet ticoats, short sleeves, and a big brown holland pinafore. "Zill wouldn't stay to be dressed," explained Caroline, in a loud whisper to her mother; at which Mrs. I Poer looked more nervous and uncomfortable than ever. Meanwhile 1 observed my pupil. I had fancied the Ziliah so carefully in trusted to my care by Mr. Sutherland to le a grown young lady, who only wanted "finishing."' I even thought she might be a beauty. With some sur prise, I found her a half-caste girl with an olive complexion, full Hindoo lips, and eyes very black and bright. She was untidily dressed; wlticji looked the worse, since she was almost a wo man grown; though her dull, heavy face had the stupidity of an ultra-stupid child. I saw all this; for somehow probably because I had heard of her before I "examined the girl rather closely. Zillah herself stared at me much as if I had been a wild animal, and then put her linger iu her mouth with a babyish air. "How do you do, mv dear?" said I. desperately." feeling that all four pair of family-eyes were upon me. "I hope we shall be good friends soon.' And I put out my hand. At first the girl seemed not to under stand that I meant to shake hands with her. Then she irresolutely poked out her brown fingers, having first taken tho precaution to wipe them on her pinafore. I made another remark or two about my being her governess, ami her studying with her cousins, at w hich she opened her large eyes with a dull amaze, but I never heart 1 the sound of her voice. It must have been now near twelve o'clock. I thought it odd the girls should be kept up so late; and began at last to spectilatt! whether I was to see Mr. Lie l'oer. My conjectures were soon set at rest by a loud pull at the door-bell, which made Mrs. I,e Poer spring up from her chair, and Zillah vanihh like lightning. The two oth ers sat cowed, with their hands before them, and I mvsi.it felt none of the bravest. So rrr;i this frightened group the master of the house walked in. "Hullo, Mrs. 1 Poer! Carv! Zill, you fool! Confound it, where 'a the sup per?" (I might have asked that, too, being very hungry.) "What the deuce are you all about?" "My dear!" whispered the wife, be seechingly, as she met him at the door, and seemed pointing to me. Certainly I could not have believed that the voice I just heard belonged to the gentleman who had now entered. The gentleman, I repeat; for I never saw one who more thoroughly looked the character. lie was about fifty, very handsome, very well dressed his whole mien bespeaking that stately, gracious courtliness which now, except in rare instances, belongs to a past age. IJow ing, he examined me curiously, with a look that somehow or other made me uncomfortable. He seemed viewing over my feminine attractions as a horse dealer does the points of a new bargain. 1'ut soon the interest of the look died away. I knew he considered me as all others did a very plain and shy young woman, perhaps lady-like (I believe I was that, for I heard f some one saying soi, but nothing more. 'I have the pleasure of meeting Miss Pryor?' said he, in an ultra-bland tone, which, after his first coarse manner, would have positively startled me, had I not noticed that the two are often combined in the same individual. (I always distrust a man who sieak3 in a very mild, measured, womanish voice.) I men'ticmed the name of his friend Mr. Sutherland. "Oh, I recollect," said he stiffly; "Mr. Sutherland informed you that that " He evidently wished to find out exactly what I knew of himself and his family. Now, it being always my habit to speak the plain truth. I saw no reason why I should not gratify him; so I stat ed the simple facts of our friend's letter to my mother that he had found for me a situation in the family of a Mr. Le Pofv, ami had particularly charged me with completing the education0 of Miss Zillah 1a Poer. "Oh!" said Mr. Le Poer. "Were those all your instructions, mv tlear Miss Pryor?"" he added, in'sinuat- -burly. I answered that T knew no more, having missed seeing Mr. Sutherland before I came away. "Then you come quite astrangor into my family ? I hope you have received the hearty welcome a stranger should . receive, and I trust you will soon cease to merit that name." So saying, he. graciously touched the tips of my fin gers, and in mellifluous tones ordered supper, gently reproaching his wife for having delayed that mal. "You know, my dear, it was a pity to wait for roe; and Miss Pryor mifst be needing re freshment." . . Indeed I was being literally famished. The meal was ordinary enough mere bread, butter and cheese; but Mr. Lc 1'oer did the honors with most gentle manly courtesy. I thought, never did a poor governess meet with snch atten tion! Tim girls did not sup with us; they had taken the earliest opportunity of disappearing; nor was the half-caste cousin again visible. We had soon -done eating that is, Mrs. Ie Poer and I; for the gentleman seemed so indiffer ent to the. very .moderate attractions of his table, that from this fact, and from a certain redness of his eves, I could not help suspecting he had well supped before. Still, that did not pre vent his asking for wine; and having politely dran k with me, he com posed himself to have a little confidential talk while he finished the decan ter. "Miss Pryor, do you correspond with Mr. Satherland?' The abruptness of his question start led me. I felt my cheeks tingling as I answered most truthfully, "io.,r "Still, yon are a dear and valued friend of hiR, he tells me?" I felt glad, so glad that I forgot to make the due answer about Mr. Suth erland's being "very kind." My host had probably gained the in formation he wanted, and became com municative on his part. "I ought, my dear young lady, to explain a few things concerning yonr pupils, which have been thus accidently omitted by my friend, Mr. Sutherland, who could not better have acceded to my request than by sending a lady like yourself to instruct my family." Here he bowed,, and I bowed. W'e did a great deal in that way of dumb civility, as it saved him trouble and me words. "My daughters you have seen. They are, I believe, tolerably well informed for such mere children." I wondered if I had rightly judged them at thirteen and fourteen. "My only trouble. Miss Pry or, is concerning my niece." Here I looked surprised, not suspecting Zillah to be so near a relative. "I call her niece through habit, and for the sake of her father, mv poor deceased broth er.'" continued Mr. Le Poer, with a lengthened and martyr-like visage; "but In truth she has no legal claim to belong to my family. My brother sad fellow always Indian life not over scrupulous ties between natives and Europeans: in fact, my dear Miss Pry or, Zill ah s mother You under stand?' Ignorant as I was, I did dimly un derstand, colored deeply, and was si lent. In the unpleasant 'pause which ensued, I noticed that Mrs. Ie Poer had let her knitting fall, and sat gazing on tier husband with a blank, horrified look, until lie called her to order by an impressive "A little more wine, my dear!" Her head sank w ith an alarmed gesture, and her lord and master con tinued addressing me: "Of course this explanation is in strict confidence, liegard for my brother's memory in duces me to keep the secret, and to bring up this girl exactly as mv own except," he added. "recollecting himself, "with a slight, indeed a necessary dif ference. Therefore you will educate them all alike; at least so far as Zillah 's small capacity allows. I believe,"' and he smiled sarcastically, "her modicum of intellect is not greater than general ly belongs to her mother's race. She would make an exc ellent wuh and that is all." "Poor thing!" I thought, not inclined to despise her even after this painful information; how could I, when now that fairly nonplussed me! What made the girl an object of interest to Mr. Sutherland? ami why did he mention her as Miss Zillah Le Poer when she could legally have no right to the name? I I should, in my straightforward way, have asked the question, but Mr. Ie Poer8 manner showed that he wished no more conversation. He hinted something about my fatigue, and the advisability of retiring; nay, even light ed my candle forme, and dismissed his wife and myself with an air so pleasant and gracious, that I thought I had scarcely ever seen such a perfect gen tleman. Mrs. IvC l'oer preceded me up-stairs to mv room, bade me good-night, asked, timidly, but kindly, if all was to my liking, ami if I would take anything ni'ie seemed half-inclined to say something else, and then, hearing her husband's voice, instantaneously dis appeared. I was at last alone. I sat thinking over this stranga evening so strange that it kept my thoughts iron immedi ately flying where I had supposed they weiesuroto fly. During my cogita tions there came a knock at? the door, and on my answering it, a voice spoke without, in a dull, sullen tone, and an accent slightly foreign and broken "Please do you want to le called to morrow, and will you have anv hot water?"' I opened the door at once to Zillah. "Is it you, dear? Come in and say good-night to me." I The girl entered with the air and ' manner of a servant except for a cer ! tain desperate sullenness. I took her hand, and thanked her for coming to I see after mv comforts. She looked j thoroughly astonished; but as I went ; on talking, ltegan to watch me with more interest. Once she even smiled, which threw a soft expression over her I mouth. I cannot tell what reason I j had whether from a mere impulse of kindness, with which mv own state of j desolation had something to do, or whether I compelled myself from a sense of duty to take all means of mak ing a good first impression on the girl's I feelings but when I bade Zillah good i night I leaned forward, and just touched her brown cheek with mine French fashion; for I could not really ; kiss anybody except for love. I never saw a creature so utterly I amazedl She might never have re j ceived that token of affection since her birth. She muttered a few unintelligi ble words I fancy they were in llin dostanee flung herself before me, I Eastern fashion, and my poor hand was Kisseu passionately, wcepingly. as the beloved ladies' hands are in novels and romances. Ah! ray hand was never kissed save by this poor child! All passed in a moment, and I had hardly recovered my first surprise when Zillah was gone. I sat a little while, feeling as strange as if I had suddenly become the heroine of a fairv fit- ti.on 1 caught a vision of my own known self. wnn my paie, tired face, and sad-colored gown. It soon brought me back to the realities of life, and to the fact that I was now two hxndred miles away from my mother and from Iondon. I had not been three weeks resident in the Le l'oer family, before I discov ered that if out of the domestic myste ries into which I became gradually in itiated I couid create anv fairy tale, it would certainly be that o'f "Cinderella-" but my poor Cinderella had all the ' troubles of her prototype without any of the graces either of mind or person. It Is a great mistake to suppose that every victim of tyranny must of neces sity be an angel. On most minds op- -pression has exactly the opposite effect. It dulls the faculties, stupefies the in stinctive sense of right, and makes the most awful havoc among the natural affections. I was often forced to doubt whether Mr. Le Poer was verv far wrong when lie called Zillah by his fa vorite name of the "Oglv little devil." There was something quite demoniac in her black eyes at times. Sluj was la zy too full of the languor of her native clime. Neither threats nor i ments coiild rouse "Tier inlo the gliffht--. c.-i. niiiMiY. x ue oniy person to W hom ' she paid the least attention was Mrs. Le Poer, who alone never ill-used her Poor lady! she was too broken-spirited to ill-use anybody; bnt she never praised. I do not think Zillah had heard the comaion civility, "Thank you.', until I came, r into tiie .house; since, when I uttered, it, she seemed scarcely to believe her ears. Yhen slio " joined ns in the school-rom Ifonndthe girl was verv ignorant." Her vorrngest cousin was far before her even in the-" commonest- kn iwltfgp; nid, as in all cases of deadened intellect, it cost her incalcnlabilronl4 tw-learn the sim plest things. I took infinite pwins with her, aye. and felt in her a strong inter- ' est ten tunes stronger than in the oth er two; yet for weeks she seemed scarcely to have advanced at all. How ever, it must be taken into account that she was rarely suffered to remain with me half the school-hours withont being summoned to some menial duty or other; and the one maid-servant le- , stowed on me manv black looks as be ing the cause why she herself had some times to; do a morning's household work alone. - Often I puzzled myself in seeing how strangely incompatible was Zillah 's po sition with Mr. Sutherland's expressed desire concerning her. Sometimes I thought I would w rite and explain all to him: but! did not like. Nor did I tell my mother half the desogrcrrnU and odd things belonging to this fami ly considering that such reticence even toward her nearest kindred is every governess's duty. In all domes tic circles there must be a little Eleus inia. the secrets of which chance ob servers should strictly keep. More than once I determined to take advantage of the verv pol;"e and socia ble terms which Mr. lie l'oer and my self were on, to speak to him on the subject, and argue that his benevolence in adopting his brother's unfortunate child might not suffer by being testified in a more complete and gracious form. But he was so little at home and no wonder; for the miserably dull, seclud ed and painfully-economical way in which they lived could have little charms for a man of fashion and talent, or at least the remains of such, which he evidently was. And so agreeable as he -could be! His conversation at meals the only time I ever saw him was a positive relief from the dull blank, broken only by the girls' squab bles and their mother's faint remons trances and complaints. But whenev er, by dint of great courage, I contrived to bring Zillah 's name on the tapis, he always so adroitly crept out of the sub ject, without pointedly changing it, that afterward I used to wonder how I had contrived to forget my purpose, and leave matters as they were. The next scheme I tried was one which, in many family jars and family bitternesses among which my calling has placed me. I have found to answer amazingly well. It is my maxim that "a w rong is seldom a one-sided wrong;" and when yon cannot amend one party the next best thing is to try the other. Likewise, I always had a doctrine that it is only those who have the instinct and the sins of servitude who will re main hopelessly oppressed. I deter mined to try if there was anything in Zillah's mind or disposition that could be awakened, so as to render her worthy of a higher position than that she hail held. And as my firm belief is, that everything and everybody in time rise or sink to their own pro'ter level, so I felt convinced that if there were any natural superiority in Zillah, all the tyranny iu the world would not keep her the pitiable Cinderella of such ordinary- people as the I; Poers. 1 Wgan my system by tnaching her, not in public, where she was exposed to the silent but not less apparent con tempt of her cousins, but at night in my own room after all the house had retired. I made this hour as little like lessons as possible, by letting her sit and w ork w ith me, or brush mv hair, instructing her orally the while. As much ns her reserve permitted, I hired her into conversation on everv indiffer ent subject. All I wanted was to get at the girl's heart. One d'iy I was lecturing her in a qui et way on the subject concerning w hich she was th first young woman that needed lecturing care over her person al appearance. She certainly w as the most slovenly girl I ever saw. Pu thing! she find many - excuses; for, though th whole family dressed shal bily, and. worse tawdrily, her clothes were t lie meanest of all. ' Still, nothing but positive rags can excuse a woman for neglecting womanly neatness. I often urged d.sp.i:rii:niyr.pn!i -. oor Zil lah that the coarsest frock was no apol ogy for untidy hair; that the most un pleasant work did not exclude the pos sibility of making face and hands clean after it was over. "Ixtok at yours, my dear." said I once, taking the reluctant lingers and spreading them out on mint'. Then I saw what I have often noticed in the Hindoo race, how delicate was the shape of her hands, even despite her hard servant's work. I told her so; for in a creature so crushed there waslittle fear of exciting vanity, and I made ft a point to praise her every good quality, personal or mental. Zillah looked pleased. "My hands are like my mother's, who was very handsome, and a Parsee." "l)o you remember her?" "A little, not much; and chiefly her hands which were covered with rings. One. : great diamond, was worth, she told mo. ever so many hundred rnpees. It was lost once and "mv mother cried. I saw it a good while after on my fath er's finger when he was dying,' contin ued sh; carelessly; and afterward add ed mysteriously, '"T think lie. stole it." "Hush, chilli! hush! It is wrong to speak so of a dead father," cried 1, much shocked. "Is it? . W ell, I'll not do it if it vexes you. Miss Pryor." i nis seemea ner onlv consciousness oi rigin. ami w rong n "asing or dis pleasing me. It argued well for her iK-ing guided br the nff ctions. I asked her again alunit her father: somehow, with a feminine prejudice, natural though scarcely right. 1 felt a delicacy in mentioning the mother. But she was the only parent of whom Zillah would speak. "I hardly know," "I can't rememlter," "I don't etire," were all tho answers my questions won. "Yon saw yonr father when he was dying?" I persisted. "What did he say to you?" "I don't remember, except that I was like my mother. All the rest was mere swearing, as uncle swears at me now. But uncle did not do it then." "So Mr. Le l'oer was present." "Yes; and the ugly, horrible-looking man they said was my father, talked t o him in whispers. ainl'ivii- took me on his knee and called me lMy dear.' He never did so afterward." I asked her oit more question "How long was this ago?' and she said. "Sev eral years; she did not recollect how many." I talked to tier no more that niglit, but ba le her go to rest. Tn fact mv mind was so full of her that I was glad to get her visible s!fout of the way. Sin? went, lazily ami stupidly as ever.

But she shut the door "hurriedly, and ran down stairs to the kitchen, where she slept with her dire enemy, yet sole compan ion, the servant-maid. . Six months after coming to the Le Poers' I began heartily to w ish for some ; of my salary-, not that I had any doubt of it-Mr., Sutherland had Haid it was : safe-and sure "but I wanted some re plenishment of my wardrobe, and be sides it was near my mother's birth day, when I always took care sh had some nice useful gift. It quite puzzled i me to think what little luxury she wanted, for she wrote me word Mr. Sutherland brought her so many. "He ' was just like a son to her," she said Ah me! One day, when disconsolately exam ining mylast pair of boots the "wee boots," that for a foolish reason I had, were one of my few feminine vanities I took courage to go down-stairs and ask Mr. Le l'oer "if ne could make it convenient." &c, Sic. . "My dear Miss Pryor," said he, with most gentlemanly emprexstrmrnt, "if I had thonght indeed you should have asked me before. Let me see, you have been here six months, and our stipulat ed sum was " I thought he hesitated on account of the delicacy some gentlemen feel in business-dealings with a lady; indeed I supposed it was from that cause he had never spoken to me on money matters. However, I felt no such delicacy, hut answered plainly: "My salary, Mr. Sutherland said, "was to be one hitidred guineas a year." TO BK CONTHXTJED. Bear bravely up agninst misfortune.
