I was making' my way through. a crowd in a by street which h soppos e& had collected for the contempla tkm and enjoyment of some trifling and Contemptible disturbance,' hut in to which at the time 1 was not in a mood to inquire, When, my course was arrested by a - pair of beautiful black eyes' under a lady's veil, which met mine with a mute appeal that could not for a moment resist. "What is the matter ?" I de manded of the possessor of the black eyes. A remarkably sweet voice replied, "I have ventured to interfere in be half of a child I saw the people abus ing,'but I am afraid'that, without some assistance my effort. will be unavailing: "%'c wasn't !abusing it," critd s6v.. oral Tough voices together. "She was only fighting with . little Mike, and she'd a got the - best of him, tOo, if ye'd-let her alpne" ' • It gx.KV — lre --- r 17 4 - With spirit, her splendid eyes flashing as she spoke, "that your sex should disgrace itself in this way. I shall not allow mine, especially such a lit tle creature as this, to make a savage brute of itself, if I.can help it" "You are right madam, , I said.— "The man who would see your sex dragged into the prize ring must have little respect for his own moth er. You are Quixotic, however, to assume the duties ofthis ,child's nat ural protector. Where. are its pa rents ?" "Dead," cried phe three other roe_ in chorus. 1 . • . : . "Where—bow: does this girl live then ?" "She:lives with Miss Vennjr, and does errands for yer" . . . "What _sort of a .person is.. this ?" inquired the 'dark eyed lay . • "She dresses,finer than you do, ma'am," replied.. one of the female. bystanders,- "but she is . not :exactly the, person to bring up a child in the way it should go, as she has strayed a long .way out herself?' . The pointed truthfulness of this remark raised a laugh, 'among the ac quaintances of Liss Fanny Flink. The lady in the meantime,iha.d not let go-her hold on the half-clad, sturdy little girl, whose -. face was flushed with passion, and discolored with blood., dirt and tears. Stle stooped down to her, raising her veil and said—" Little, one, if you will go with me I'll find you . , a good, home. You shall have nice clothes, enough to eat, and be taught to read and write.

Although much pressed for time I lingered to look af 7 ter her till she had "turned the cor ner ; for I never :had seen a face Which was half so lovely. as "hers, and it haunted me ever after: ' I had, however, at that time, too many troubles of my own to afford time to look after those of pthers. , -- A. very long and em)ensivO law suit bad exhausted tho' once handsome fortane that had long kept my fami ly in so enviable a position, and left me nothing but fallacious hopes and illusive expectations. My father died during the slow progress of the liti gation ;: the lawyers who had coui meneedi and so long conducted it also died before its conelusion and it ap peared too prObable that my mother, too, would pass away without the satisfaction of knowing:that so' much money, thought, ankietyitod, suspense had not been entirely thrown away. She was very ill; and I foresaw with certainty that the. slender _thread which held her to this life 1111 C . • • ••- • - 41 4 • would snap, if the final decision in our cause, which it was believed would soon be rendered, should be against us'; for it' .would necessitate the sale of all that remained- to.ns, and leave us little .better than beg gars. It was our last stake, upon which all our hopes and confidence had- gradually . concentrated;: and if that were lost we bad nothing more to lose—nothing but blank despair to encounter, which we durst not antici= pate. .. The lawyer, who, at the time, con ducted our suit; was an old friend of nay fatber's—saccesiful, rich, inde pendent, and surly ; and as he had . undertaken the case more from friendly than pecuniary - motives, did not attempt .'to disguise. the truth and probabilities from me. But coulduot look forward: to anything but triumph, and chose rather to re-, gard discouragingtoneawone of the mearis.he employad to enhance the value of:his services in: achieving* success: lie Was a good Mali' at heart, that 'old -lairyeri and his pene tration was - - wonderfull; but- he was• not'apt to spoil iris nredicine by , over sweetening i.t, and iny'panapered pal ate rebelled not a- little' againit its' disgusting... but 'Wholesome bitter ness.- Iliad a long. hunt after• an. iinpor-7 taut, female w i itness, whom -I found, at lasOn a garret, dying of consump tion., Aind whpm should.

The lady bjushecf deeply;; apd,, as soon as she had re-covered. frorn. her momentary confusion; observed quiet ly, that she was simply performing a duty to which an old - friend ofler mother's was fully entitled. While obtaining the deposition of her patient I. had several opportAni ties of conversing with this-excellent beauty; and her - modest elegance and graceful ease captivated- my soul. One evening I was permitted to accompany her in search Of , a con veyance.; and, as I bad resolved to express..my sentiments freely. to her on the first available occadion, I was, as is usual in such cases, much ern barrassed when it presented itself "Your patient is dying; I fear." "She is conscious of the _approach of deliverance ; and such she regards it." , tr* ,Vlie, you fdl:in Smoothing her path to the grave." "Do not flatter me, sir. It is but little lean do and flattery seems to me to Flake that little nothing."

"Then let me entreat you for your forbearance." - , "It is unkind, not to say barsh r in you to forbid tlic utterances -of a heart so sincere and full as mine." "It is my -kindness, my considera tion, for you, that induce me to ebeck this excessive language because know you will repent it." • "impossible I not only admire you: more than any being Lever saw, but I feel: that.yeu are worthy of my worship, and that I love you."

She had cross ed my dark path like a heavenly ap paration, and her disappearance ren dered everything about me hopeless and dreary as despair. The treacherous law, after having -lured us. on to ruin, decided against our claim's, and extorted. the last remnant of our property to pay its costs. To communicate this fact to my mother, would have been like. in flieting her death blow,. and after meditating long upon the subject, I found' myself unequal to the painful task ; I went once more to our old lawyer to ascertain whether there was no possibility of compromising the matter, so as to postpone the evil day, and leave my mother awhile in possession of her home and com forts. I met a lady descending thastairs; who had just come out of his office, whose physiognomy was of that un usually repulsive character which irn-. prints itself indellibly on_ the meino ry, and ever after, in dreams and reveries, in sleep and in:wakefulness, rises from time to time to our mental vissidn with horrible distinctness ; shocking us with the. fullest sense of the dread ugliness of.human -malfor mation- I thought 'of the wonder ful contrast between this . creature and the delicate- beauty i loved in . vain. • - • The old lawyer was in and grasp ed my hand with sympathetic eordi ality.. I stated the object of my :visit. WHOLE NO. 846 "Well, my young friend," said he, "I have anticipated your wishes, and kave just•been talking with the suc cessful party. She is by no means inexorable but, to tell the truth, there is no ground of compromise left: You kave lost all. If she ac cords you anything, it will be simply a donation—nothing more or less." "Is there Do resource left by which I can fora time ward off this final, and"to my mother I fear fatal blow?" "None in law'?" "In what then ?" "In yourielf ?" _ "How in myself "In your person.

"Very-well," replied the- old man, without :turning his head or ceasing to write. • ' I went home and atten:iptedAo pre pare-m-y.nrcytherfor the rfiln''tliat had befallen us : but in approaching the subject, found that it was-more than she could endure, and relinquished the effort in despair.

"Is there nothing on earth that you can, do, Edward, tn, prevent this ?" rv•~~~Yes f "And wont you do it ?" "I. cannot bring rny - mind to it ?" "It is dishonest ?"

I will save our mother and you, , but at a. great sacri fice—Heaven only know how great." My sister flung her arms around m y neck, kissed me affectionately, called me by many endearing names, and I felt as if I almost deserved them, exaggerated as they were. I communicated my decision to my lawyer the next day, telling him that since I could not marry for love I would marry for hate. He uttered a sort of grunt, and re plied : • "Few marriages begin in that way; but with too man, love is merged tin antipathy as soon as the honeymoon is well over. Your prospect of con nubial happiness is the brighter, as it cannot change but for the better. If you knew the lady as well as 1 do, you would entertain no misgivings on the subject." On the second day after this inter view I received Mrs. Barrington's card and a written request from my law yer that I should call upon her with out delay, as hc had settled the pre liminaries in the most satisfactory manner. I did not fly on the wings of love to the stately mansion of my bride elect, as there bad been little choice in the matter, but walked thither like a man who bad volun teered to be hanged . . On my arrival - I was ushered into a handsome drawing-room, in which I was kept waiting for about a quar ter of an hour ' when, at last the lady appeared. She did not look hand somer than when I met her on the stairs, loading to the lawyer's office. On the contrary, the' relation in whieh,she now stood with respect to myself, and the finery she had piled upon her person, rendered her, in my eyes, more hideous than ever. I responded to her salutation, and remained silent for a few moments. She appeared desirous of manifesting - a certain measure of maidenly coy ness; and I was not indisposed "to al low her all the leisure she required for the performance of her part.— When she had enacted the role to her I X l $ afikrtiur.

A better-hearted girl than my niece Clara never lived, bat she has setae personal defects`whieb, perhaps, only the eyes of affection can overlook. I' mean to say for in stance, that she does not enjoy the same personal advantages as myself." .I looked at the ,speaker for a mo ment in ainazement, and - an.inirolunL tardy groan escaped my lips. "It catinotgie possible ! Is she de formed ?" "Oh, so.; she is as perfectly shap ed as I aim." "Indeed ?

"Say no more 1"- I exclaimed wildly,. "This suspense is too dread ful. Let IM 0 see the woman herself, though the sight, of her kill me !" "Then turn and look upon your deeth 1" cried a sweet voice behind Ina; in a mock tragic tone, followed by a silvery ring of laughter. I turned, and, to my inexpressible delight, beheld -my adored black-ey. ed beauty. And you—you—are------" "Not Miss Eastburn. That was my maiden name ; but Clara Barring; ton, widow." I fell at her feet, half disposed to worship her, covered her hand with kisses, and , finding no resistance of. fered, sprang to my feet and clasped her in myarths. - - "Clara Barrington, will you become Clara Ingleton "In what excellent, practice you are ! We shall' have you proposing to the whole family. You have be. gun bravely, first to the aunt, and then to the niece within five minutes. Aunt has fled, as well she may from so dangerous a creature.

I have won your love fairly, and learnt at the same time that there was right on your side as well as on 'mine, and I will be my own court of equity, and do justice more even handed than the law." “May I not praise you now ?” "No, but you may—" "Do what ?" "Love me just as much as you please. lf BELIEVING BUT NOT UNDERSTANDING. "I will not believe anything but what I understand," said a self-confi dent young man in a hotel one day. "Nor will I," said another, "Neither will 1," chimed in a third. "Gentlemen," said one well-known to me, who was on a journey, and who sat close by, "do I understand you correctly, that you will not be lieve anything that you don't under stand ?" "I will not," said one, and so said each one of the trio. "Well" said the stranger, "in my ride thiS morning I saw some geese in a field eating grass; do you believe that'? "Certainly," said the thiee untie. Hovers. "I also saw pigs eating grass do you believe that?" "Of course," said the three. "And I also saw sheep and cows eating grass, do you believe that?" "Of course," it was again replied. "Well, but grass which they had formerly eaten bad, by digestion, turned to feathers on the backs of the geese, to bristles on the backs of' the swine, to wool on the sheep, and on the cows it bad turned* to hair; do you believe that gentlemen." "Certainly," they replied. "Yes, you believe it," he rejoined, "but do you understand it ?" They were confounded, and'silent, and evidently ashamed, as they well might be.
