Contiguous Wit steeple, - Great gentlefolks are found, a score, Who can't associate any more - With common country people. "Miss Faddlc. lately from the wheel, Begins quite lady-like to feel, And talks affectedly guiteel, And sings sonic tasty songs, too; But my veracity impeach,. If she can tell what part of speech Gentility belongs to." Elitown was a simple country village until an enterprising visi ter to the place discovered the value of its water privileges, "and immedi ate]y set up a large cotton manufactory. All at once, the place, which for ten years had been stationary, began to grow. Around the great brick factory, with its continual v rose up. in what Seemed to the staid inhabi tants, an incredibly short space of time. a doz en boarding houlles, which in a small country - town; are su flicient to con; ti tute quite a village. Of course the female portion of the population received consider able increase. This new class vas looked upon dislike by that portion of the young ladies who were not interested in the Manufacturirg interests of the country, and were on all - occasions slightingly and dis dainfully spoken of by them. This disposition on their part may, perhaps, be attributed to the fact that they found it a matter of much greater difficulty to retain their lovers, now that they hail so many to vie with them. The mothers, of course, entered into - the feel ings of their daughters, and hence it was that in the little town there sprang up a little clique whose principal distinction was that they kept themselves aloof flow the-contaminating socie ty ot, those factory girl;.'; Prominent among the elite (as they consid ered themselves) of the Ace, .was Mrs. Blenk insop and her three daughters— r livelina, An tionetta and Augusta AtiVoris. Blenki n sop .„ , - was constantly expat n„ n tne?great advan tages of coming of a o gagfrteel4t3m4, and how impossible it was for erhartiTho were not na turally well-born, to disguise their native vuldtri ty. "Like_a sow in a sack," as_she elegantly re marked, —the bristles arc always a stickin' out." The remark which she made was true in a certain measure, and to the whole extent of that measure was applicable to herself. It would be rather difficult to stmtain Mrs. Blenkinsop's claim to gentility, judging by her own standard, since she had been the daughter of a soap boiler, and was now the widow of a butcher. The association connected with the latter employment pi obably suggested the forcible simile above quoted. Un thp„dewh of her husband, who botneatb .ed her a - tou•iflerablc fortune least for a coiry um n - she had moved into the village ofllltown wi,ll iu r thine daughters, and purchasing a pretty 'Fia:te._st* fro 1% hi—Hie villa "adopt political phrase, what her -antece-• dents'' were. this being a point on which she thought it best not to speak. - From some alir flints which she de signedly threw out, it ua.4 generally supposed that her - husband was a jin: c y• pi o lmte. a militia c.iptain. or a justice of the ptacc at the very least. • Tile idea. was StrOlgtheneli by the frequent disquisitions already mentioned on the subject of•gentility.

I believe I shall go there to-morrow, as we are all needing summer bonnets." According to the resolution expressed in the last sentence, Mrs. Blen-kinsop, accompanied by hcr three daughters. took'a trip to the city the next day. There were bonnets which the milliner as cured them were altogether in a• new, style, just imported from NHS.- ,'The very thing we want."•said Antionetta. "We shall be sure, in that case, that none of those v ulgar, factory ! - riris have them. For my part. riCterMil)( 7' d to take one-of these." The Smite course of reasing, -by the fact that they were pretty bonnets, led her mother and sisters to come to a similar decision. After leaving orders with the milliner to trim them alike, and in the most fashionable style, the three Miss Blenkinsops - and their mother departed, very well satisfied with their day's purchases. Tt so chanced that the three Miss Smiths, who belonged to the class of —horrid factory girls" so anathematized by their aristocratic neighbors, were in town the same day. By an equally remarkable chance, they were in pursuit of the same article, viz., summer bonnets, and were led to . visit the same estab lishment "El!town !" snid the milliner. "f have just sold bonnets to four ladies living in your vil lage:" ~ A h ! who ?" "Mrs. Menxingop and her three (kright.,r,-,." The Miss Smiths were well aware of the de gree of friendly ciinsidera lion entertained for them by these ladies, and they thought this afforded a good opportunity for retaliation, which ought by no means to be suffered to pass unimproved. , •Will,you show us the bonnets which you sold to the ladies you mention r they inquired. "Certainly," said the obsequious milliner. "It. is a new styli:, as I told them, just import ed. -There are but very few in the city.

I think we could• 'ho no better than order three, if you have as luau"." - "I have precisely three left.',' c'Are you to trim those for Mrs. Blenkinsop and hiqdalig,hters?" "Yes. She told me to. do so in the most fashionable style." .' , Then we would like to have you trim ours in precisely the same manner--as like as two Tteas, you understand—so that it would he impo..:silde to tell them apart." "I will do so." ''And please don't let them know it, as we would like to surprise them." "Exactly. I understand. You may rely upon my doing so." "When are you m to let the other ladies have their bonnet; ?" "By Friday night." "Then let ours I.e ready at the same time." • To this the milliner agreed, and the three Miss Smiths also departed, congratulating themselves'not merely on having secured pret ty helmets; but also upon the anticipated mor tification of their aristocratic neighbors. ....When the bonnets for Mrs. Blenkinsop and the three lliss 13Ienkinsops arrived, they could scarcely repress their delight. They were so tasteful, so recherche. Noth ing like thetn•.had been seen in tile. village be fore.— And this our lady readers, at least, need not be informed, is a very strung recommenda tion of "Won't those factory girls stare at ns and envy our new bonne'ts ?" said Evelina, in a congratulatory tone. "They'll wonder where we got them, and betfeady—to tear their eyes Out with vexation, to think we've got the start of them," said Antionelta. "Oh, it will be dm nithe," lisperi Angnsta Maria, dapping . ; her hands with would-be . childislmaivette. -- "Yes," said Mrs. 131enkinsop.

MENTAL AND COJCPORA L SUPPE RiNci r . —There 'sit very pretty Persian apologuc on the differ ence between mental and corporal suffering.— A hing and his minister were discussing the subject. and differed in opinion. The minister maintained the first to be more severe, and to eonvineelhis sovereign of it, he took a lamb. broke its leg, shut it up, - and put fond before it. Ile took another, shutit up with a tiger, which was bound with a *rung chain, so that , the beast could spring near, but not seize the lamb, and also put food before it. In the mop ring he carried the king to see the effect of the experiment. The lamb with the broken leg . , had eaten all the-food Placed- before it—the other was found dead from fright., DELICATE SEARcii.—The St..
