scarcely 'crushed by carriages, excepting where a nay
liaw road wound along beneath lefty elms whose
branthes mainly swept the ground.
Mary sari down at an op .n window, and hummed
snatches of an opera air " for want of thought."
Tne air came bland and laden with perfume from
the green mead..we and distant hills. Blue moun
tains, bounded in the for horizon, niarkingt with a
sof:and graceful outline. The mists of the Cotinec
, tictl were gliding up -like water-spirits, leaving the
clear water to mirror the blue sky
,and the honey
dowers and trees that looked into its smooth waters.
The village lay ie . profound silence; nht a foot-fall
broke upon the ear. The buds Moire sang and twit
tered mtheng the waving brattehes.
Mary was' attracted from the train of reminiscen
ces that had been careering through her mind by
the cheerful song of a robin, which rocked to and fro
on the topmost branch of a tall tree. She ceased her
mechanical hum, and listened awhile to the birds
novel music. Accestorned only to the spare patch of
sky seen over the narrow streets of a city, the broad
expanse of heavens suddenly burst upon her, and
she looked forth upon the landscape. and its glorious
canopy until a holy awe stole over her mind. For
the first time in her life, Mary felt the presence of the
all-pervading Spirit of the universe, and from the in
nermost depths of her soul exclaimed : e God made
this beautiful world."
What a new world was it to Mary Fay f The or;
tificial tkaining to which she had been subjected bad
suppressed imagination and se, it went—suppressed
but not destroyed the deep love of the beautiful and
true, buried long beneath heaps of rubbish, The
chords had not been strung, yet it was a perfect in
strument, that human soul as it came from the hands
of his Maker
,• Spirit, away,
Into thyself, to thine own liidden shrine ;
%V hat there &yet worship? what d ern'st thi•u divine."
Miry Fay looked out upon the glo ious new world,
and then held solemn communion with herself , until
the church-bell startled her from those deep musings.
In the tabor of the toilet Mary had, always been
assisted by her w .id, and often, too, by her mother.
t ht Sunday mornings especially, Mrs. Fay had given
her advice arid approbation.
The rich dresses with which Mary had expected
to dazzle the eyes of a country cougregation—were
taken trotn the travellutg-hux and spread upon, the
bed ; but haiing no one to consult, some t•me was
spent in making a choice. As she arrayed t erse•lt
to fere the small mirror, the countenance there re
flected looked out reproashfully upon her. It was
s novel expression, alid Mary examined it earnestly;
-till it !Allied reproachtully and mournfully into her
large har.:l eye. She swiled— it smiled a witching,
.ferisite sniff e. But the second In ll' sounded and
M ay hurried on her white hat; with its delicate roses •
aod cost a tossing glance at that beautiful face which
h never repo toed Wenn now. pa) it blush at
its OWII illVrill/1 OS, or fur the fully of her who had en
often arrayed herself for the temple of God's pure
warehip—to excite the admiration of man
When Mary,desc• n led iu the parlor, her good aunt
alone was waiting for her. Mr. l.eete—she said, Vacl
gone to preach in a neighboring village.
The c ingreg. lion was assembled, and the hell wa■
sounding its last lingering note before Mrs. Leete and
ttary reached the church. .As they walked up the
aisle, a rich deep -toned voice gave Utterance to the
words—.. The Lord is in his Holy Temple; let all
the earth keep silence before him."
The church edifice, though simple, was not destitute
of architectural beauty. It was in the long pointed
windows of the Gothic style, unbroken by side gal
leries, and through them came not a dim religious
light," but a light softened and chequered by the
dense foliage of the trees in which it was embower
ed.
Mary Fay had expected to produce a great Bellew
tion when she displayed her fashionable parapherna
lia at a country church—but every eye was fixed
either upon the minister or the prayer -book.
The melodious voice of the: reader had uncommon
pathos in its natural tones. He was devout and
h ro pie, sincere and fervent.
The liturgy, the solemn, beautiful liturgy, of the
Episcopal Uhurrh, Mary Fay had heard from her
inf ag cy with her outward ears.' and her lips had
responded—but the heart had hitherto given no re
sponse: now the penitential breathings of the litany
went to her soul, and though her lips moved not, it
might have been whispered to the angels who rejoice
over man's salvation— , ' Behold Ale prayeth."
By one of those remarkable coincidences (or Pro
vidences we might devoutly term them.) which some
times occur, the test for the morning" sermon was,
Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not"
As the minister repeated it with startling emphasis.
his eyes met the tearful ones of Mary fixed upon him-
Did his thoughts wander froM his holy subject 1: A
single second only, for he t vae a true and faithful
messenger, and then he spoke with apkaling
earnestness of a present God, until His glory filled
the temple of every believing heart.
The last deep prayer was said." Mary arose
fruin the posture of devotion, humbled in heart, and
walked fon th withlhe chains loosened that had bound
her to the artificial world. How gloriouS was the
sunset of that holy day! A. Mary watched the aim
son clouds until they deepebed to a leurple edged
with gold, and then "wave after wave grew pale and
gray," they were to her "le opening vistas into
heaven." To commune wi h he, own heart, er.4
listen to its deep mysterious breathings at twilight's
contemplative hour. was a Melancholy yet soothing
close of this sacred day.
Mrs. Leete was a sirmitanl of great excellence of
character. with the becoming grace of humility in con
stant exercise ; moreover, she had so long listened
with reverence to her husband; that she was habit
ually a slims woman. Although she bad received
Mary with affectionate kindness, and when she did
speak, it was tit s sweet and gentle manner, she had
made no effort to become acquainted during the day.
Mary was aroused froth her reverie by the sound
of the deep manly'voice, to which she had so earnest
ly liitened during the morning service: Presently
her aunt came and begged the pleasure of her com
pany in the parlor. On entering. Mrs. Leete
said—
Henry, my son, this is your cousin Mary." The
young minister, bowed distantly, but respectfully, to
his full dressed fashionable cousin, and an awkward
pause followed, for Mary was surprised and ember-,
missed ; so-little intercourse having been maintained
between the country and city sisters, that Mary bad
never before heard that she bad,* cousin Henry.
s. You did nor know, then,"; said Mrs. Leete, ob.
serving her surprise, that the minister to whom you
li.tened with such respectful attention this . moining
was our Henry, our only, el:WO'
' How should cox catnip recogpise me, dear moiler,
. -
when we have never met before quickly: ttattkindli
replied Henry Leete. sad them hastened o , explaia
toMary, that his father bed gone to preach for him,
and he had been performing the same duty prearh
lug in the village of L and a neighboring parish,
over both of which his father had the pastoral care.
Mary had been so entirely occupied with the new
and solemn thoughts that had that day visited her
mind, that she hod taken 130 note of the appearance
of the minister, and his voice alone demonstrated that
he was the same who had officiated in the desk and
pulpit.
Henry Leete was o an honest man," in a higher
sensethan was ever dreamed of in Pope's philosophy;
he was an honest gentlemith—an holiest Vbristianr.
Educated by his father till be went to !be university,
be had never mingled with rough and unprincipled
youth; and inheriting too the gentle character of his
mother, his manners were peculiarly soft and amiable;
so much so that his classinaies called him i a sweet
girl," and Lilly Leete." Soon, however, they dis
covered that beneath this bland and mild exterior,
there was ,power of mind that would command re
apect—povver that would mount farther than the many
would follow—so lar indeed that he held die highest
rank, and was graduated with the first honors of the
university. His deeply fixed religious
. principles
gave tone and harmony to his character; end his
noble ingeniousness won the love of all who'had sym
pathy with excellence.
The imaginative mind of Henry Leete bed almost
defied woman--pure, simple, high•eoul.d wuwau
His standard of female character wrs
" A perfect wofow, nobly planned
To warn, to minion, and command ;
And yet a spirit still and bright,
With something of an angel light."
Of the doll dressed up for society in manners as fan
tastic a, their paraphernalia, he knew nothing. He
had heard of blary • as one of these automats, who
was exhibited during the past winter with great eclat
and felt no desire to meet her either in thi, world or
that of which she is a denizen. Her evident embar
rassment, and the modest blush that suffused her
face, dissipated at once his prejudices, sad Convinced
him that she did not yet wear the impenetrable mask
of society.
t. We have a beautiful view of the rising moon
from the piazza," said Henry Leete; "Conic, mother,
will you and Miss Fay greet her pale ladyships*, sbe
looks river the eastern bills?" So saying, he offered
an arm to each, and they were just in time to see her
