songs, sho began one that tho had learned
at Mr. Westbury's request at tho period
which ho used to visit her almost daily.
It was Hums' " Yo banks and braes o'

favorite. When Miss lildon came to tho

she raised her eyes to Ids face, and in an
instant ho foruot everything but herself.
Her happiness is sacrificed as well as my

against the wall of tho room, ho gave him
srT'fup, for tho time, to love aud melancho
ly, Tho song concluded, however, he
regained some control over hi) feelings,
and still kept at a distance from her nay,
conquered himself, so far as to repair to
tho drawing room, to escape from her Uan
crous vicinity. Ho saw her not again
until sho was equipped for her departure.
Then hho contrived to get near him, and
threw so much sweetness and melancholy
into her voice, as she said "good night,
Mr Wcstbury," that ho was instantly dis
armed and drawing her arm within his,
conducted her from tho room
"llow," said he, in a lownd tremulous
voice, " how, Maria, could you sing that
song, to harrow up my feelings? Timo

thee, was my felicity but now,duty for

Miss Eldon replied not but raised her
eyes to his face, while she repressed a half
drawn sigh. Not another wordiwas utter
ed until they had exchanged "adieus" at
their carriago door.
Two or thrco weeks passed away with

'Just as you think best ; but for my
own part, I should seldom attend a party
fur tho sake of enjoyment."
"If Mrs. "Wcstbury thinks it proper to
immure herself as if in a convent, sho can,"
said Mr. Wcstbury ; "for myself.I feci that
society has claims upomua that I wish to
discharge."
"I will go if you think tlnro would be
any itnpropiicty in my staying away,"
Eaid Julia,
"Situated ns you aro, I think thcro
would," said Mr. Wcstbury.
"Situated as I ami" thought Julia;
what docs ho mean ? Do03 ho refer lo my
station in society ? or docs ho fear that
the world will think me an uuhappy wife,
that wishes to seclude horcelf from obser

In tbo course of tho morning, Julia cal
led on Mrs. Cunningham, and found that
lady aud her husband discussing tho point,
whether or not they should attend Mrs.
Parker's party.
Aro you going, Mrs. Wcstbury?'
asked Mrs. Cunningham.
"Yes Mr. Wcstbury, thinks wo had
better do eo," Julia replied.
"Hear that, Edward I" said Mrs. Cun
ningham. "You perceive that Mr. West
bury likes that liis wife should enjoy the
pleasures of society."
Mr. Cunningham looked a llttlchurt, as ho
said "My dear Lucy, am I not more than
willing lo iudulgo you in every thiug that
replied to Mr. Cunningham'
"Unquestionably the pleasures cf domes,

"0, it 13 strange," Eaid Mr. Cunning
ham, "that any one could willingly ex

self and Mr. Evclcth, a gentleman who was

Washington stopped at the end to let Mr.

"General Washington's dress was a full
suit ol black. His military hat had the
black cockade. There stood the father of
his Country, acknowledged by nations "tbo
first in war, first in peace, first iu tho
hearts of hi3 couutrjmen." No marshaL,
with gold colored scarfs; no cheering. The
most profound stillness greeted him, as if
tint great assembly desired to hear him
breathe nnd catch his breath tho homagu
of the heart. Mr. Adams covered his faco
with both his hands. The sleeve of his
coat and his hands were covered with tears.
Every now and then thcro was a suppressed
sob. I cannot deseribo Washington's ap
pearance as I felt it perfectly composed
and self-possessed till the close of his ad
drees. Then, when strong men's sobs
broko loose, when tear covered their
faces, then the great man was shaken. I
never took my eyes from his face. Laro

the grateful children who were parting with
their father, their friends, a3 if his heart
was with them and would be to tho end."
