4 Tllk'Tii 7- 0 SISTERS:
A SKETCII---BY KOTZEBUY..
In a large city in Germany dwelt two sis
tors, .Teannette and Pauline. Jeannette had
the good fortune to be very handsome, and
the bad fortune - to find it out very soon.—
She soon accustomed herself-to look in the
glass—that was natural; she soon took pains
in dressing—that was pardonable; she en
deavored to acquire accomplishments—that
was prudent; but she thought nothing more
was- . ..-mosesary—that was foolish. True,

airs tit concerts; she only drew landscapes

sofas and screens. Ai how,- time passed
tediously, although her old weak mother
was continually praising her beauty.. This,
old truth could only give pleasure by pouring

tiallv'seeking new society. Ladies always
practice a certain oconoin'y in the praise of
other ladies; but gentlemen, on the contra

therefore Jeannette was fond of the society

noble, and both very rich. Jeannette was
delighted with her conquest, and her moth
er, who was in moderate circumstances, in
dulged herself in sweet dreams of futnre. -
"If both should be in earnest?" said she to
her daughter, "which will you prefer?" "I
don't know - myself;"-answered - Jeannette,
"they both please me, but I shall like the
richest one the best. Then I shokild take
care of you mother, in your old age, and I
would have my sister to manage my house
for me." The doating pareet wept for joy
at the filial sentiments of her-daughter, and
Pauline was grateful for such a mark of sis
terly affection. Iu the mean time both of
the young men wooed earnestly for the beau
ty's favor; and both wore equally kind to the
homely Pauline, because she gave them the
pleasure of being alone with her sister. Jean
nette was really in embarrassmeitt which o
her adorers to prefer. EilArd gin a, ball,

that evening-- she was irk a fair way to love
Edward. Maurice gave a sleigh-ride, and
she flew along the street in a splendid equip

ed VI. ildeision from one day to another, at
tributing her hesitation to her heart.
"If I were in your place,", said Pauline
one day; "I should tab Edward."
"Why?—Maurice is as rich, and you will
acknowledge he is handsomer."
"lie is generous too," replied the mother.
"But he is fickle," replied Pauline. "Our
aunt has told me a good many things about
him."
"Our aunt;" answetdd Jeannette snappish
ly, "is an old aunt."
"Edward, on the other liana," continued
Pauline, "is more steady; and I think I have
often remarked, that he feels more deeply
and more sincerely than Maurice." -
"Pshaw !" said Jeannette, tossing her
Bead while she stuck . a flower in her-hair
before the glass, "They both feel so deeply
that I hardly know how to manage them.
Meanwhile, what harm will there be. in de
laying my choice awhile? Their rivalry
makes my tune pass very pleasanly, and fi
nally- accideyi will decide." Pauline was
silent. Both suitors continued their atten
tions without remission.
One day as Edward entered the room, ho
found Pauline 'in' tea Wind Jeannette laugh

of the tears and the Altighter. "I am a child"
said Pauline blushing, and 'ell the chamber.
"A child indeed," said Jeannette, laughing
after her; "you would never guess what she
was crying for."
"if it is not improper to ask"—
"Oh not at all.. You have probably some
times remarked the old blind dog that used
to lie on the sofa? r He was mine, and in his
young days used to make a good deal of
sport. This morning he broke a handsome

"And that was the cause:of your sister's
weeping'?"
"That was it. One would think we were
living in the times of romance."
Edward was silent, and soon changed the
conversation. But after that time he never
overlooked Pauline as he had Formerly done.
He conversed sometimes with her, became
acquainted with. her unpretending -worth,
admired her modesty, and began to .think
her appearance less homely,' Yet when the
ascitialing jeannette appeared, hor charms
made him forget Pauline. • ,
Jeannette had prepared a splendid mas
querade dress for the• character of a Sultana
for the carnival Which was approaching,
when her mother was taken sick. Pauline
was to have accompanied her as her slave,
and had prepared a becoming dresi for the
occasion.' - Thu day arrived; the illness of
the - mother had increased; the looks•of the
physician, although he said nothing, made
Pauline determine not to go to the masque.

her.
"Where is your sisterf" Asked Edward. ,
"My mother is not well, and Pauline has
remained at home for company." He was
pleased at that; but he had littleirme to
think of it, for Jeannette appeared more
beautiful than ever, and neither he nor Mau
rice left her side. She enjoyed the triumph
of being admired in the highest degree.—
Whenever she danced, a crowd was formed
:around her; wherevei she 'went, she heard
the voice of flattery.
Towards midnight, just as she had prom
ised to dance a quadrille with. Edward, 'a
domine came up and took off his mask; it
was her mother's physician. "Miss," said
he, "I have just come from your houge, arid

dy standing next to her, "I cannot dance
any longer, my mother's sick." "0, do not
rob us of the ornament of our quadrille," said
a young rich Englishman--"A few minutes
can make no ditference.". She looked at
Edward as if she wished him to decide for
her; but he was silent. It was now his turn
to dance... The person next him jogged
him=he cast an Inquiring look at Jean-
nette; his neighbor reminded him again—
Jeannette did not refuse, and so he danFed
the figure with her, and the quadrille was
finished without any thing more being said.
She would then' have goner, but she was so
heated that she would have taken cold, by
going into the air. After walking up and
down an adjoining room for some time, sho
went home, and Edward accompanied her.
As they went up the step they saw tire in
the kitchen, - Where Pauline was at the fire
place, preparing something for her mother.
Her countenance, reddened by the glow of
the fire, appeared handsome, • this time, to
Edward. .
"It is well you have come," said Pauline
to her sister, "mother has been very sick,
' & I have frequently had to leave her alone."
Edward felt himself in a singular frame
of mind. On this very-evening Jeannette
had dropt some hints,which gave him hopes
of gaining the victory over his rival. His
delight on that account, however, had been
very much moderated since the last .qua
drille. A film fell from his eves. Ho was
able, for the first time, to look upon her
beauty without a violent wish to posses her.
He would probably have renounced her im
mediately, ifianityad not whispered that
she would have intadiately left-the ball if
she had not been dancing with him; and.that
it was he who had made her forget her duty
for a momenta. His feelings could not with
stand the flattering thought of being belov
ed by so beautiful a girl, and all that reason
could win of him was a determination to pUt 1
her supposed aflection to the proof.
He Wined until her mother recovered, 1

ravaged by the cnemy, and .that it would
take at least a year's rent to put it in its for

"if Jeannette only loves me, my incomewia

This declaratiorrwas a thurst in the heart
of Edward; but it was a beneficial operation,
—the wound soon healed. He soon after
wards repeated the story in presenceof Pau
line. She did not look up from her embroi
dery, but he remarked that her eyes were
moist: "What gives me the most pain from
this misfortune," continued he, "is the pov
erty of my mother—my good mother. lf I
should devote tae whole of my income to
her, it will not be Buflicient to provde her
the luxuries to which she has en accus

at him kin_ She sa' nothing, but her
countenance spoke. 'he needle trembled
in her hand. She bethought herself, and
continued her embroidery. After a pause
she asked, as if merely to renew the conver
sation, "where doe§ your mother reside?"
Edward answered at Stingard,where, in real
ity, she was in the highest circle of society.
Pauline then spoke of the pleasant situation
and advantages of Stutgard, and nothing
more_ was said of Edward's misfortune.—
For the purfiose of confirmiu what he had
said of his losses, he linited his expenditures
and sold his fine-horses. ' He continued to
lisit the two siste'irs, and the calmness of his
feelings`-permitted him-now to see a thous:

him. None of his observations were of a

Meanwhile'Edward continued very calm.
He was no longer in love, but it appeard to
him at times as if he loved Pauline. His
wish to see her, if he had not seen her for a
day or two; the quickness with which time
passed in her company; the unwillingness
With which he separated from her—all these
things often made him think "what if I
should offer Pauline my hand?" A surpris
ing occurrence suddenly decided for him.
He received a letter from his mother,
containing a bill of exchange upon Stutgard
for one hundred dollars, signed by one of
the principal bankers of the place in which
Edward resided. "1 cannot comprehend,"
she wrote , in her letter, "why it should have
been sent to me. It was sent in an anony
mous letter, in which I am besought, in a
few lines, not to despise the gill of a good
heart." A flame blazed in Edward's breast.
He trembled--his eyes sparkled. He bur.
ried to the Banker. "Did you draw this
bill of exchange?" "Yes." "For whom?"
"-I have been paid the value." "By whom?"
"I cannot say." "But the bill of exchange
was sent to my mother." "I know nothing
of that--it is no business of mine." "I beg
you to tell me the person." "I cannot. "
"You will probably cause the happiness of
my life." The banker looked at him with
surprise. "Will you tell me the truth if I
wine the person?" "Yes." "Miss Pauline
Western." "You have guessed it."
Edward hurried out. In two minutes he
lay at . Pauline's feet and asked her hand.—
She was confused—she could not answer—
she sighed. He put his arm around her—
"Am disagreeable to you?" She sank
upon his breast. "Oh no.- I have long
loved you; but how could I hope." The
first raptures of love flowed throughtwo no
ble hearts. Pauline could not comp ehend
how Edward had taken such a sudden - vio
lent resolution. She often asked the reason
—he smiled but did not ansarer.
Her nuptials_ with the, oor Edward were
fixed for thesame day, on which Jeannette
was to marry the rich Maurice. Pauline
made dispositions.for strict frugality in her
future doianistirs; her white plain bri
ll!' dAss'lign . .tifigted poiverfully with the sil
ver lace of her Sister. Edward preised her
to his heart and smiled. "To-morrow;"
said he, "I 'will inform my mother of the
choice 1 have' made, you must also add e:
letter." Pauline promised it, not without
some embarrassment, and Edward smiled
again. On the next day she handed the
letter, but showed him at the same time her
finger bound up, which had compelled her
to get her sister to write the letter. Edward
kissed the finger; cast a look of love upon
her, and a tear stood in his sparkling eye.
She blushed and thought something was not
right; but he said "very well," and smiled.
The marriage day appeared. Edward
came early in the morning and laid a val
uable necklace in his bride's lap. Pauline
was astonished, but Jeannette was more so,
for the necklace was more valuable than
her own. "I have been practising usury," ,
said Edward jestingly, "a little sum, advan
ced by a noble lady, a friend of mine, has
doubled itselfa thousand fold." "By a no
ble lady?" said Pauline. “The necklace is
very fine," continued Edward, "but what
adorns it the most, and will make me the
happiest of men, is concealed in this paper."
She opened it confusedly. It was the wed
ding ring-folded in the bill of exchange.--
Pauline recognized it at the, first glance, and
cast down her eyes bTushing. Edward fell
at her feet. She sunk down. "To deceive
me so!" whispered she. ,
When all was explained, Pauliiie's moth
er embraced her, while Jeannette tossed
her pretty head. She endeavoured to con
ceal her vexation; but her marriage day was
the commencment of her matrimonial ill
humour.
Several years past; EdWard found to his
astonishment that he had been blind, that
his wife was really handsome; and his do
mestic happiness increased eisiuy day. Do
mestic happiness never — made its home with
Jeannette. Pauline was surrounded by
bloominechildren. The sifters seldom saw
peach other; for Pauline lived only for her
husband and children, Jeannette only for the
great world. Here she found sufficient a
