Jane Gregory and Alice May,.on a cer tain occasion, spoke rather lightly of Anna, and some one who heard'them, very Improperly-re ported the substance of their remarks; and. in doing - so; • considerably exaggerated what -had been . said. A few days afterwards, Anna mot the young ladies in ths aijeet. They; paused, sniiling/lo speak' to her, but still feeling indig nant at their light remarks; sho passed them with out even a look'of recognition. Unable to understand the meaning of this, Jane and AliCe'asked a mutual friend local! upon An na and learn from her the cause of offence, if sjny existed/ To. this person Anna told what she had hoard, but.did not give-htr aulfior. -The young ladies.recollected, dimly, having quoted some thing of the kind, and therefore cotifd not deny what was alleged in tolo. But the language rep resented as having been used by them, ihey en tirely rejected; and requested tho mutual friend co offer every apology audio say.that they w.ery extremely sorry for any : thoughtless'words, they might "have used. To Anna, (his was only ma king things worse; and she told the friend 1 who sought to reconcile the breach, (hat Jane and Alice were a couple'of ill-natured, unprincipled, girls, and she would have nothing more to do with them. J-Oh, very, well,’ was llie remark of the latter when this was stated to them. > Site can do ns she pleases. W« have dona all in. our power to make reparation for the injury alio hus re* ccivcd.* And. there the matter rested, so far as any fur-, ther attempt to reconcile die difficulty was con cerned. Alice and Jane acted In everything with* niil reference to Anna, while she carefully avoided going into' any, company where she was likely'to ineel them. They thought of her but little, and made it a point never to speak of the unhappy difference that existed, while she thought of them nearly ell the timej and on every occasion, almost, 1 ipoke.'of tjjfehi .Of.couisc, Anna was far (roto being floppy.
