She was not beautiful; - but.lier thoughtful,

spell of mind upon mind ; . and they attributed
to the right cause - the 'sway Which she caer

She was not one of those ;of'whum, Keble
has beautifully said,:
" There are who sigh that no fond heart is theirs,

for strength, when the earthly temple, in
which she had garnered too Many hopes, was I
shattered before her-eyes. She forgave freely 1
the hand that Wrought its 'destruction; she
learned tolook calmly upon the ruin; ay,more 1
than-that, she grew to thank God-that in the
crucifying of her earthly, Mfections, she . had

When she heard the rumors .of
Dorrance's and his Wife's unhappiness, and af-'
tercvnrds of their separation; she, said to her
self, " There haS been blame upon both
and earnestly she wished that;slie- might be a

Dorrance, but received the unvarying answer;
‘Mrs. Dorrance sees no one." So week . fel- 1

.One afternoon she was summoned -intkithe
parlor, to a person who was aWalting her there..
Upon entering she was struck with the singu
larity of the face df the new-comer. She no
ticed the anomaly of exceedingly light :hair
and jet black eyebrows and lashes. There
was something also in that thin. face (of a
deadly 'whiteness from the contrast of the
black bonnet,) that rivited he'r gaze Upon it;
while she taxed her memory to recall why it I
should so haunt her with-the feeling that she
had seen it before.
The young woman seemed embarrassed by
the scrutinizing-look which Miss
.Grifilm fix
ed upon her as she apprtiached.
Yon know me Miss GrhaM: she .said as
one would ussett, a thim.r.; not question. -
' :Helen answered slowly.
'Thank Godl then hu^will riotkuow me.'

now, Miss Graham learned foithe first time
of the jealousy from which the. young wife
had suffered. Her heart ached as she saw the
wtetchedness which Margaret:had brotOttip
on herself, though-she did not scruple to con
demn Mr. Dornmee for his severity and - his
haste.
Through Mist Graham's sincerity, Margaret
was led to see that the esteem which her hus

parison with the deep, all-absorbirig love which
he had lavished upon her in theirearly Married

Helen Graliam appreciated. the thoroufth
change which had been wrought in the thiiU

such self-devotion. as, she now, porpOsed to
carry out: choosing to perform the menial of
fices of a servant; rather than tO endure a long
et separation from her ohildren.
Willingly she wrote 'a note to Mrs. Egerton,
commending her in the highest terms•=spoke
of her as a gentle woman who had .. .known bet.

Open - marriage as "a career of -devotion," as
!'• an exercise of virtues often difficult," they

The following interesting story that went

well worth'repeating.. The late - Mrs.'Jordan
possesied a - heart susceptible of the Most ten.

called into action by the least approach of mis

ter, where she had been Verforming, her wash.
erivoman, a widow With three children, was by
a merciless creditor, thrown into prison. _. A
small debt of forty shillings bad. been wolked
up in a short time r ibyl law expenses, into II
bill of eight pounds.; As soon as Mrs. Jordon
heard of the eircumstances`she sentlor the at.
torney, paid his dedand, and observ?d,-with as
much - severity, as her. good nature could as.

You lawyers are' certainly infernal spirits,

The attorney, however; pocketed the affront,
and with a low bow Inade his exit:
Od the afternoon of the.funne day, the poor
woman ufaa liberated. • As' Sire... Jordon, With
her servant was taking her usual walk on the

scenes; however, though she strovelo hide it,
the tears of feeling Stole down' her cheeks,
and stooping to kiss the children, she slipped
a pound note,into : the mother's hand, and in
her usual playful manner replied—

,The grateful creature- would have replied,
.but this geed : female Parmtritan insisted, on
