Ana on : llio other hand; how' dft’ert do wo see the finest apod* l mens of men unequally joined to women who seem j to have no true appreciation of what Is really excel, lent in morals or social life. The reasons for such inequality »« very apparent to nil who observe with any intelligence, The affinities which govern among j those who enter life's durding arena,arc, in most! eases, external instead ofintcrnnl. Accomplishment, i horsonnl appearance'.mml'family connections, are more considered than nuallticS of the heart. Beauty, wit, station ond wealth, ore the standards nf value, while real merit is not thought of or fondly believed to exist ns a natural Interna! correspondent of the external attractions so pleasant to behold. In this false and superficial mode of estimating character lies the baric o r human happiness;' Deceived by the merest externals, young persons coma, together and enter into the holiest relation dflifo, to discover,alas! In a few years, that there exists no congeniality of no mutual appreciation of whntisekcpltcunand desirable in life, and, worse than all, no mutual uffee lion, based upon clearly seen qualities of the mind. Unhappiness always follows this sad discovery, and were it not for the love of children, which has come tn to save th.cin, hundreds and thousands, who, in the eyes of the world, appear to life happily. together, would be driven angrily asunder. , t Aunt whoso -own exporianeb, lo.llfb,dmi* muell observation, mane the jlyU Ilofo indi cated as clear ad noonday to her perceptions saw the error of her beautiful niece Edith, in courting rather than shunning observation while In society. “You wrong yourself,dear, 11 she'wouhl often say, u by lina over carefulness about external appearance.

U was Edith's weakness to lovo admira tion l and tVltal wd lovo tvo naturally seek. WiUioul [ actually infringing the laws of taste and harmony, i she yet managed to dress in a stylo that always at* I traded tho eye, and set olfher really fine person in | tho-most imposing matirton I'hc tionsefjuentio was that she had-many admlrdts, sonvo of whom tfero elegant and attractive young men. Hut node of these wore drawn to tho sjdo of Edith from a IdVo of her moral'beauty. It was the beauty of her person, tho fascination of her manners, and tho sparkle of her wit, that made her an object of admiration. Edith had a friend whom she dearly lovedJ a sweet, gentle, tnio-hoartod girl, named Mary Graham.— Thoke who are dmtled by an imposing appearance, passed Mary with indifference; but tho few who Roald 'porqclvd the violet's odor by tho. wayside, as they moved along through life, sought her company, and found, in tho heart of a loving woman, more of beauty and delight than sho over gives as a creature of show und admiration. _ m . Different as they wore, in many respects, Edith i ond Murv were alike in tho possession of deep a (Too. I tions. But loved what was puro and good; but, while one had an Instinctive power of looking beneath Iho glittering surface, the other wos easily deceived by appearance. While one shrunk from observation, (ho other courted attentions. Tho consequence was, that Edith hod hosts of admirers, while only tho discriminating fbw lingered near the retiring Mary.

But I can appreciate, ay, and lovb a magnificent womin like Edith Maurice., you can have Mary Graham,, and welcome; 1 will never cross your path.” < ' ’ From this time Ashton became tho undisguised admirer of Edith. • Tho young man was handsome, well educated, and had it winning address; yet, for ulllhis, Ihoro Was something about him from which the, pure-minded gltl at first'slirunk'. Erskine, tfac sometimes met; and whenever she happened to be thrown into his company,'sho was pharmcd .with hlb manners, and intorealed In his conversation.' Unob trusive ss he was, she admired him more than any man she had yet seen. But tho showy exterior of Edith hid from the eyes of Erskino her real worth. He looked upon her as vain, fond dl admiration, and of course, as possessing little heart—and turned from her to find a congenial spirit in her friend Mary.— i win the favor of Edith, a nun like Ashton would have proved no.rival. But Ersk ine ovinccd no disposition to-show her any thing J more than ordinary fiollle attention?, and with an ' inward sigh, sho suffered tho heart which shrunk at [ first with instinctive repugnance, tu turn with Its of* lections towards Ashton. , - _ Vain will) the thought of having so imposing and beautiful u wbmon as- Edith-for a, wife, Ashton did not stop to inquire whether there was a relative fit* no.>s furanulual happiness, but pressed bis suit with ardor, and won her consent before the half bowindor ot| girl had lime for reflection* : friends, who. un derstood.the character ofvthe jodng man, interposed their influence to save Edith from a connection that promised little for llio future' but .theirlnterposition camo tuo.loto. 6110 was betrothed,and nollhcr could nor’ would listen to a ward against the man with whom sho had chosen id cait her lot in life.
