OILS slaves, aud white persons whose time they
owned for a term of years, served tfcem in
every capacity which use, luxary, or ostenta
tion could dictate ; and wbeu they traveled
iu state their cumbrous and richly-appointed
coaches were dragged by six horses, driven by
three postillions. But usually the mistress of
the household, with her cbildreu and maids,
appropriated this vehicle. The Virginia gen
tleman of that day, with much of the feeling
of earlier feudal times, when the spur was a
badge of knighthood, esteemed the saddle most
wanly, if not the only way of making use ot
the noble.-t of brutes. lie accordingly per
formed ull his ordinary journeys on horseback.
Wheu he went forth with his own household,
the cavalcade consisted of the mounted white
males of the family, the coach and six lurnber
iug throrough the sands, and a retinue of
mounted body servant-, grooms with spare led
horses, &c, in the rear.
In their general tone and character, the
lowland aristocracy of Virginia resembled the
cultivated landed gentry of the mother conn
try. Numbers of them were highly educated
and accomplished, by foreigu study and truvel ;
and uearly all or certainly much the largest
portiou, obtained an excellent education at
Wiiiiam and Mary College, after its establish
ment. or respectable acquirements in the class
ical schools kept in uearly every parish by ti.?
learned clergy of the established Church. As
a ela.-s they were intelligent, jiollshed in man
ners, high-toned and hospitable—and sturdy
in their loyalty aud iu their adherence to the
National Ghurcu. Their winters were often
spent in guyeties and festivities of the provin
cial capital : their summers when not connect
ed with the public service, principally iu su
pervising their immense estates, in visiting each
other, and in such amusements its country life
afforded. Among the latter, the chase held a
prominent place. Bom alumst to the sadd'e
! and to the use of tiie fire-arms, they were keen
hunters ; and when the chase was over, they
sat round groauing boards, a:.d drank confu
sion to Frenchman and £spanicrd abroad, and
I Rounhead and Prelatist at home. When the
I lurking and predatory Indian became the ob-
Iject of pur.-u.t. no strength of tiie red in..:;
I coal J withstand, no -peed of his elude, this
fiery and gallantly mounted cavalry. The
sx'ial gulf which separut.-d this from the
common class of colonists, became about as
deep ami w.de, and :vs d rfi.uit to overleap in
marriage ai.d other social arrangements, as
tiiat which divided the gentry and peasantry
of England. rui.li were the Carters, the
C&rvs. the Burwi-!i>, Byrds, the Fairfaxes,
the Harrisons, the Lees, tue Randolphs, and
many other families of early Virginia.

zetUoasiy molded her young mind in that di
rection. Her futher had done nothing cer
tainly by word or act to divert it froai that
ehanuel ; and it had flowed on, for aught Mar
tha knew or suspected ti the contrary, with
his full approbation. If she had thou beeu
called upon to state what were her father's
religious beliefs, she would have declared that
her impressions were that he leaned to the te
nets ot the Church to which his family beloug
ed. The Uaiing and flippant infidelity now
rife iu French society disgusted the earnest,
serious, naturally revereutial girl. The calm
seclusion of Pantheinout, its examples of se
rene pud holy life, its intellectual associations,
wooed her away from the turmoil, and glare,
and wickedness, and emptiness without. Af
ter meditating on the subject for a time, she
w rote her father for his permission to remain
iu the convent, and to dedicate herself to the
duties of a religious life.
For a day or two she received no answer.
Then his carriage rc'ied up to the door of
the Abbaye, and poor Martha met her father
in a feveri pf doubts and fear-. Never was
his smile more beniguaut and gentle. He had |
a private interview with the Abbess. lie
then loiu dps daughters he had come fur them. I
I'hey stfiipvil into his carriage—it roiled away
—and Martha's school life was ended. Hence

New Baby in the House.
We knew all about it—what ail those draw
ers and chests were filled cp with a miniature
wardrobe for—why sister Mary had such a
fashion of blushing and folding her pretty
tasteful work at the bottom of the bu.-ket.
Yes, we know all about it now ; the mys
tery is explained ; we've got a baby ! a real
bona fid - baby ; the intelligence of which was
conrryed to me by a round-eyed, wonder strick
en urchin, who was the baby until this morn
ing.
" Oh, such a tiny bit of squirm !" he ex
claimed, "no bigger tliau a doll, and it aru't
got no eyes all !"
Fast as I hurried home to wlcome the lit
tie tranL*er. Tommy was there before me, and
with eyes bigger than ever, was standing at
the nurse's knee, evidently trying to solve tins j
question whether baby's ti®ts were doubled up j
to hit him a punch or snub his own nose the I
wrong way of the world.
A bran new baby ! Do you know what its j
advent i> into the heart and home of a happy
family ? The mother lying upon the bed of |
suffering which reduces all women, from the !
queen to the b-ggar, to the same common lev-;
el of humanity ; the mother that w.- approach j
so reverently, feeling tiiat a human son! has
been - ml from heaven via her maternal bosom,
a:.d tnat from her hands he who sent it will
r quire a trict account of its guardianship
while passing its life through this wo; IJ of
chance and change.
What a responsibility ! I think we are sel
dom conscious of it, or if we were, we who
know to its core every throb of the great
world's heart, we have lived through it- -torui
and calm, who know* how subsequeatlal its
pleasures, how poignant its woes—l s-.v could
we kn v.v the re-pousibility of transplanting to
its sunshine and its shade, one single blossom
from the garden of God, we should pray to be i
spared that trust that we might ineffectually
fulfil. " i
But then to see our n rt w baHv—onr beaati- ;
ful mystery ! to see ail tiptoeing in—every
body but Tommy who uev.-r bavi g been ac

and Mary's at the door, and both revealed
through smiles, their teeth, that winter's came
oiice more. Lucy's bat fifteen, Mary is (a
lass !) not seventeen yet. They scarcely had
cot buried in their furs and earls, when Wil
liam drove up rapturously—he came to sleigh
the girls. Tiie girls they came delightedly,
and tumbled in instauter, while William turn
ed the horses around, and went off on a can
ter. La ! wasn't it a sight to sec the gay
girls flashing pa-t. their feathers •treßTiiingmut
behind—their laughter on the hla>:—their
cheeks ail cricasoD, and their lips red, budding
with delight 1 'Twould thrill the gruffest
bachelor to witness such a sight! How he
wonl l thrill to taste those lips—like that dear
youth of Gray, who went to g'djy " with has
ty steps"—and " hru®h the dew away.' 1
Weil, on they went far out into the night ;
horses flew pest them like discolored ghosts,
and toll-ga'cs. as they glanced in the moon
light, seemed bnt of Brown it Brother's fence,
the posts. And us each gate was safely pass- j
ed and paid, William, remembering his own 1
private docket, balanced the account, and froaj !
their lips defrayed the wild expeu.se experienced ;
by his \>> k>*t At last unto a tavern they
came. " What, ho ! there, landlord, oysters
and the wine !' J * * * * *
A brief delay, aad on the viands came, and

laughed and talked, concluded theu to start,
and then they thought they'd stay a little
while longer : while William, nut quite ready
to depart, went out to get u drink of something
stronger. Tual i*at uriuk done the bus.ue.sa

He got out the horses helped the girls to
places, and pin g tiiem all over in the robes,
prepared himself for fifty thousand race-
He started furiooniy ttlou*, dashing through
toli gates without paying toll, and, amid his
hiccups, tried to sing a song, and from side to
ride upon the seat did roll, along he dish
