HOMELY MARIA.
BY MRS. N. DEN I SON
"This is living !" exclaimed a gay lOok
ing young man, sitting down to a neat, but
abundant country breakfast table. "By
this time the city folks are nearly baked,
while here the wind comes blowing over
that clover field, sweet with June roses.—
Vome, Maria, what kind of a company ran
we get up for a fishing party ? Put bound
to have a time."
"You won't find city fashions or city
beauties here," said Marin, smiling, but
Fred cut her speech short with—
" Confound city beauties, and every thing
belonging to the city just now, I'll have
none of them. I tell you I've come to
the country just to cut clear from city
sights and sounds. There, that's not a
very elegant expression, but you must
make the best of it. I'm as much of a
rustic as any of you. I'm going to make
friends with every farmer's boy, and claim
cousinship with the teacher, and the min
ister especially. As to the young ladies,
I'm prepared to like every one of them,
especially if they all make such bread as
you, Maria. One meal like this is worth
a dozen in the oity."
Maria blushed, as most young ladies do
when they are complimented. She was
a plain, sweet-tempered girl—an adopted
(laughter, who, since her earliest years,
had been a devoted child to the farmer and
his wife. She knew she was not hand
some ; and she painfully felt the differ- i
ence when in the society of her beautiful
foster-cousin, Fred's only sister, whose long
golden curls and eyes of heavenly blue,
whose form of perfect contour, and man
ners bewitchingly graceful, crowded her
shrine with lover's and admirers. Neith
er was she accomplished, save in the poe.
session,2l) .a voice very pure and powerful.
Her foster-parents were old-fashioned peo
ple, and were proud of her ability and na
tural aptitude fa house-work. None could
keep house better than Maria. From gar
ret to cellar of the old fashioned mansion,
with its out-of-the-way ettrpers„ and crook

of some master band. And that hind was
.; though so quietly phe, 3 mOved a
bout, and with such consummate Met and
skillful foresight that every eledent. of
confusion seemed toiall into order the mo
ment her presence became visible. Under
that plain exterior laid a mine rich with
jewels, and though so unostentatious that
one might, have questioned her capacity,
she Was 'nevertheless a women of intellect,
She read much, but she thought more ;
and though she rarely talked, t when she
did, one could but listen with groling ad

and altogether a nice girl, but considered
her nothing more. Day after day her qui

One pleasant evening they sat upon the
porch long after the twilight had faded
out. Silence reigned,save when the drow
sy kin; moved home-ward, tinkling the
bells that hung from their huge throats. In
among the tangled leaves of the old trees
through which the sky seemed broken into
blue and .white, the pale youg moon look
ed faintly. It was the last of August, and
hear; of ripened corn mingled their tresses
of gold with the stubble of harvest ground.
A river with banks of low willows hanging
• over till they dipped their green tassels in
its depth, bubbled but a few feet from the
old homestead—while, thrown full in a
circle of white light. the explore high wall
with its enormous sweep, its bucket, wind
lass and chain, groupdd in one black mass
in the Centre, fortned•as pleasant' a picture
as ever gladdened the eye of painter or poet.
Fred., who thought of leaving in a few I
day, was now unwontedly eloquent in praise ;
of his city home. He had told Maria all
the beautiful girls be knew—how one had
eyes like night, and tresses like the deep
of an 0021111-wave lit by the moon-lustre.
How another had soft English beauty, 1
cheeks tinged with the bloom of the peach,
and hair like the gleaming silk of core, i
eyes bluer than the sky, • and a smile as
sweet as May. He told of their varied
graces ; with what taste one played the
harp, and how her white arm flashed over
its gold. How surpassingly radiant an
other seemed in the lighted bull room—
each one possessing some glorious gift that
was sealed to poor Maria.
And long after they had parted, the
poor girl sat in her little chamber, and pon
dered on what he had said. With tears
standing on her lashes, she whispered, "Oh,
why wax I not beautiful ? Then for a mo
ment she stood before her glass, but put
ting her hands before her face, she mur
mured, "No, no; no jewels, no flowers,
no rare adornment would make me other
than I am—homely Muria."
She sat down again and looked out upon
tha calm night. Nature is beautiful, she
thought ; there is not au ugly flower in
td e universe ; the tiniest spear of grass is
beautiful, the sky, the clouds, every tree— I
nature is all beautiful; why was not I I
given the charm of pleasing and winning
hearts ?"
At that moment her eye fell on her
Bible. The very sight seemed a bitter
reproof. "God made me what I am," she
murmured, "and 1 am rendering myself
hideous in his sight by thus complaining.
I will try to be happier, I pill try to con
quer this vain and wicked wish, for Ile
knows what is best for me."
So she would not weep or repine any
more, but praying with the simplicity
of a child, she sought an innocent pil
low.
And that very night Fred. sat musing
in his, own room, long after the moon had
vanished among the stars. '"She is cer
tainly g fine girl, but so homely. It's a
pity she had not some redeeming feature ;
for instance—beautiful eyes, or fine com
plexion. Certainly she is the most enter
taining creature, for one that knows
so little ; but say what you will she's
homely Maria, and always will be—
pity !"
The next day Fred. was gone from early
morning till night; and Muria, in keeping
heart and hands busily employed strove
I I to banish all thoughts that tended to make
! her dissatisfied with herself. In the even
! ing her cousin came home with a violent
headache, and by the day upon which he
had settled with himself to retutn, he was
sick with a raging fever. For three weeks
was Maria at his bedside night and day.
She hardly allowed herself to rest for a
moment, and all the while did not neglect
overlooking the house-hold, or attending
to the comfort of her aged foster parents.
And sweeter than tongue can tell, seemed
her ministrations to the invalid. tier
band upon his burning forehead, her skill
to raise the pillow, and place his head just
as he could lie easiest i above all heir
cheery smile, her quiet manner, never
prophesying danger, her untiring attention
and almost prophet eye—these were dearer
to him than ever he deemed such service
could be.
And when the fever had spent its 'wild
courkii, sad the heartiroved languidly, but
genfry, and - it was heaven to feel the soft
air wipe in and steal wooingly over his
temples, then he prised the gentle girl of
whom haled thought so little. Then al
most lost in wonder, he listened to her
liquid voice muting with fine poetic feel

sang in her low rich tones some old &-
miller ballad. Then be saw the, eye I
kindled that he had thotight so destitute !
of the light of-genius ; he noted the meta

glance of love, and wandered why he tall-

Every beautiful girl whose charms were
enhanced by sterling virtues, seemed yet
not beautiful as Astivaud. he was aston

It was because he lord goodness for its

something—a spiritual look born of devo

than beautiful.
But she was intensely anxious. Every
moment she would clasp her hands and
walk nervously—sometimes a little outside
the old door, picking and pulling to pieces
the red roses, and sweet honeysuckle.—
