IiENUT DRIAKKEt. ,
At a bend - iu a pleasant' Windiuglroad,
under the shade of a large elm,: stood a
small SehdObliottSe.. It was a humble,
building ;. and the little belfry on tile top
I seemed hatdly large enough for illi ma
tion of•the .. ' cow-bell suspended th _re.—
BM it was a picturesque, feature ih the
landscape. The elm drooped over iwith
uncommon . gracefulness, and a *nest
/
touched the belfry with its light foliage.
The weather-bestenluoss-grown shingles
were a relief to the*.eye . , of the traveller,
weary of prim _staring white houses.
Moreover t a human soul hadinscribed on
a little place a:pastor:llpm in Vines 'and .
flowers. - 4 white rose bush covered half
one side, and carried its offering :of I blos
sours up to7tho little bell. Cypress vines
were trained:to meet over the door; in h
1 Gothic arch,- stirmOUnted by aCross. • On
the :westernside the windows were sha i
ded with a prefusion of 'Morning Glories;
• and a rock, that jutted outlnto . the (road,
was thickly strewn 'with Iceland Moss,- I
which'in the Spring-thue covered it I with
a carpet of yellow stars. - ': .
• It was at that sea Son that it was seen
by George Franklin; It; ;young New, York
lawyer, on a visit,.to . the- coimtrv. He
walked ' slowly past, gazing on the hoble
elm slightlY. waving its young foliagto a 1
gCntle breeze., ;Ina then, out potnieil a
flock of children of various ages. Aump

formed a circle round-the :elm. A clear
voice was heard. within the sehoobhouse •
singing a lively "tune, while me 4ureci
strokes-on.aome instrument of tin ni• rked •
the time. The little band whirled mind
the tree, stepping to the music with the
rude grace of childhood and joy. 'After
ten or fifteen minutes-of this healthy Itixer- _
cise,-, they' stopped, apparently in obedi
ence to some signal. ' : Half of them iheld
-their hands;.aloft and: formed arche for
the other half to jump through. Then
they described swift circles with their

il
The WinfloWs were open on both , si es,
and the air was redolent with the ba my
breath of migonette. On the, teacher's

- lie wrote his initialsiM3.'the=
" Perhaps I shall' nevor ...see — this' young
' teacher, thought le; "bid. it be t - t
' little mystery •
di' 'flier unexciting to
conjeeture'what !eurions_ eye has been
peeping into her -little book:" Then he
queried Withhitutielti "How do I know
she is a youttg teacher?"'
He stood leaniug against the wituloW,
looking on the, beds ef flowers, and the
vine leaves brushed his hair, as the breeze
played with•thern. They seemed to 'day
that a young heart 'planted them. ;He
remembered the clear, feminine voice he
had heard hunaming, ; the dancing tune in
the Spring time, ;Ile 'thought - .of the
1 mosses and thefcrus in the book. " Oh,
yes shemust be young an& beautiful,"
thodglit he. " She cannot be otherwise
than beautiful,. with such tastes." -Ile
stood for some moments.in half dreaming
reverie. Then a broad smile went over
his hive: Ile was making fun of hitnself.
" What consequence is it to Me whether
shah° either beautiful or young ?" said
he, inwaraly. "I must be hungry for an
adventure to indulge so much. curiosity
about a country school-mistress."
The smile Nfas on his face, when ,he
heard a light ; step and Alice White stood
before him. -She
,blushed to-see a stran
ger in her little Sanctuary,and he blushed-,
at the awkwardness of his situation. He
apologized by saying; that the beauty of
the little garden, and the tasteful arrange
ment of the vibes, attracted his attention
and, perceiviikg that the selioolhouse was
empty, he had taken the. liberty to enter.
She readily forgave the intrusion, and said
site Was glad if the humble little spot re
freshed the eyes of .those who passed by,
for it had given her • great pleasure to'
Cultivate it: The young man was disap
pointed, ferslie was not at all like .thel•
pieture*his imagination had painted. But
.the tones of her voice were- flexible, and
there was somethin g pleasing in her quiet
but timid manner. kot knowing what to
say; he bowed and took leave.
Several days
,after, when bis rural visit
was drawing to a close s . he felt the need
of a longer walk, and a pleasant vision of
the winding road and the little school
house rose befbre him. He did not even
think , ot'Alice White: He was-ambitious,
and had well nigh resolved never to 'mar
ry, except to advance his'
,fortunes.. He
aamitted to himself that grace and beauty
I might easily bewitch him, and turn him
front his prudent purpose. But the poor
country teacher was.not beautiful, either
i in face ehigure: Ire had not thought of
her. But to vary his route sotneWhat, he
passed throne the weeds,' and there he
found her gathering, mosses. Thus it
happened that:thy fell into discourse-•to
getheo; and the more he listened, the
' more he was surp - rised to find so rare a
jewel in so plain a setting. her •thetights
were so fresh and so simply. 'said l• Arid
now he noticed `a deep 'expression .in the
'eye, imparting a more elevated beauty
than is' ever deeived from form or color.—
I lie could not define it t i p himself, still less
to others; but she charmed him. He lint
gered by her side, and when they parted
at the sehool-houSe gate., he was half in
hopes she would invite him to enter, "I
expect to visit this town again in the
I autumn," he said. "May I hope to fluid
you at the little schoollhouse?"
She did not say whether he might hope
le find her there ; but she answered with
• a smile, " I am alwayshere. • I have ad
'opted it for my home, and tried; to make
it a pleasant one, since I-heave no other."
All the way home his thoughts- were
occupied with her; and the -memory. of
her simple pleasant ways, often recurred
to him amid the noises of the city. lie
would easily have foretten her in that
stage of their acquaintance, had any
beautifal heiress happened to cross his
path; for though - his nature was kindly,
and hada touch of romMice, ambition was
the predominant trait in his. character.—
But it chanced that no woman attracted
him very powerfully; .tefore he again
found himself on'the winding road' where
stood.the picturesque little school-house.
Then came frequent walks and confiden
tial interviews, whieb revealed -More love
linesi of mind and character than he had
previously supposed. Alice was one of
thotfe peculiar persons whose history sets
at naught all theorieS. Her parents :had
been illiterate, and coarse in manners, but
she -was gentle and refined. They were
utterly - devoid c& imagination, and she
was eyerythino- in the:sunshine of poetry.
" Who 'is the Add like.? . Where did she
get her queer notions'?" "Were questions
they could never. answer. They died
when she was fourteeti ; and site' unaided
and unadvised,, went into a .factory to
earn Money to educate herself. Alternate
ly at OM' factory and at school, she pass
ed four years. Thanks to her 'noble moth ;
er ; she was quick and skillful with , Wei
needle, and knew how to make _the,—most
of means. She travelled along unnoticed
through the bypaths afire, rejoicing in
birds and flowers and little children, and

her as if she were - in, it- delightful
1 Was it indeed possible that the lose of an

I said he was amMtious. Would he not,
!repent marrying • a poor girl, without

any kind ? Might he not find her soul fir
i less lovely than he deemed it? Under
the influence of these fears; she answered
hith : How happy your precious letter,_

like a garden when the morning sun

: Ever since the day we gathered-mosses
