KATE • LORIMER ;
OR TVASI PEARL IN THE 'OYSTER.
BY MILS: EXIIA C. I:NIBUBS
"The pearl 'oceans cavern lies,
The Leather' floats upon the wave."
Kate Lorimer was neither a beauty, a witettor
an heiress: she was : only one of these many corn
moyeplace young ladies who are " brought out" ev
ery winter to laugh, dance and flirt, for a season or
two, then to marry. and fulfilling their destiny by
immuring themselves in a nursery for the rest of '
their lives. So said the world—but for once that
many-eyed tied many-tonnged gossip was mista
ken. Kate Was very unlike most young ladles.—
With her J'arso-like fiour ' •and fine. Though Some

what massive, featurefeethere needed only a care
lul study of the myet - of .the toilet to make her
appear what dew a splendid woman:—
Bnt Kate, thinigheitee iiyelte Was neatness it

Lad what Shakspeare calls "a very pretty wit,' a
certain shrewdness oft. intellect, an d a quiet senee
of the ridiculous, wineh wanted only the piquate
sauce. of boldness and, ill-nature to make her, whet
the witlingeireprimectse kids would style -Ire-ill
i-ant." BAVXAre was equally indifferent to her
owielooks Mill Manner's. She seemed like A kitid
of human machine, mot-od byesome invisible spring,
at the volition of others, but by no positive well of
ker own.-
What, you will ask, was Ita secret of this cold
abstraction in a young and -not ungifte girl 1—
Tbere was no mystery aboutit: Kate eras only
one of - the many instances tile" is candle placed in
the wrong socket," as my poor friend --e used -to
say.' She was one of a large family, butishe was
neither the oldest, the, first inheritor of tense,
.loveleeelor,ehe youngest, the recipient of its fund do
tage. Her 'eider brother, a tall, graceful youth,
was Ale pride of both father and mother, and what
ever previleeees Kate might have claimed as the
refrit of the troop of deresels who chattered their
!',4l.ys away in the nursery an.l school-room, they
~'were -.entirely forgotten in favor of the second
daughter, who chanced to be extremely beautiful.
erhe•feet was that Kate occupied a most insignifi

At her_vet-tilit entrance into society, Kate felt
that shehrice - nely yeibordinate part to play. and
there was a eerie* inertness of character about
her Which netdeekeeequeetly adopt the habits befit

gete tip her place in the quadrille if there was a
want of room on the floor; if beaux were scarce,
Kate was conienteolek to some frowsy old lady in
a corner; if a pair of indefatigable hands were re
quired to play interminable waltzes and polkas,
Kate's long white fingers seemed unwearied ; ifi
short, Kate never thought of ,herself, because ehe
honestly believed she was not worth anybody's
thinking about.
Was she so inotdinstely humble as to set no ral
, ne upon -herself? ' Not exactly that; but she had
so high a standard of excellence in bet own soul,
and she wee so conscious of her, utter inability to
attain to that standard, that she grew to feel a spe
cies of contempt for herself, and therefore she neg
lected herself, not as a penance, but- because she
wineld not waste thimelit or time upon any thing
appertaining to herself. No one understoad pilor
Kate, and of course no one appreciated her. When
she spent hours in dresses her beautiful sister fora

MONTROSE, PENN'A., THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1850.
"Then you think Kate is one of the' predesti
nate old maids r"
" I am afraid so."
" Well, Kate is a good child, and we shall want
one of the girls to keep house for its when we , gmtv
old ;' so I don't see that we need regret it muctiA.
" You don't consider the mortification of hrint
ing,out two daughters at the same time and hav
ing one left - 4 band, like a bail of unsaleable goods,
while such a Woman as that 'vulgar Mrs. Dobbs has
mariied her four red-headed frights in two
sons."
•
"How was that iltitin r •
"Oh I by management; but then the girls were
as anxious as the mother, and helped themselves
along. As toe, I 'delft believe she would take
the trouble to walk rtertmss the toms in order to se•
cure the best match in the ceutitiy." •
"She certainly is very indifferent, but she seems
perfectly contented."
" You, that is the trouble ; . slie is perfectly satis
fied to renittin a fixture, 'litho* she knows that
she will have to rank with the{ antiques' as soon
I begih to bring out her four yolnger sisters."
" Perhaps it wouid be betteP to bring out 3`:U3
r.
next winter- sighed the father.
" Yes, El& is lively and fresh-looking. and du
ring.the festivities which will follow Louisa's wed
ding, she can slip into her place in society: without
the expense of a `coming-out' pArty."
" You speak as if Louisa's marriage were a set
tled thing."
"Because she can bare her choice now of half n
dozen, and by the time tie season is over she will
probably. decide.'
" under your guidance, she is not likety to
make an imprudent choice."
" I hope not. To tell you the truth: I am • wait
ing for one more declaration, and then there will
be no more delay,' said the mother.
"Has she not admirers enough r
" Yes.. but if she can secure young Ferrers it
will be.worth waitur.."
" \l' hat Clarence Ferrers i Why. he is worth
almost hall" a million': is he an admirer of Lou
isa's i"
lie is a new acquaintance. and seems Ver.y
much struck with her beauty ; but be is an odd
creature, and seems to pride himself upon differing,
from all the rest of the -world: we shall see what
will happen. One thing only is certain—Louisa
will be married before the year is out, and Kate
will, I think. resign herself to old-maidistu with,a,
very good grace." • ,
And haying come toi this conclusion. the-twit ,
wise-acres composed themselves to sleep.
Clarence Ferrers, eobanorably mentioned-by Mr.
Lorimer as " e'erlh half n million," was a gentle
man of peculiar tastes and habits. His father died
while he was vet a boy and he had struggled with
poverty and hardship while acquiring the ednea
tic.n.which his talents deserved, and which his am-'•
I,i: ion demanded. lie had:stooped his pride to la
her, and he had learned to submit to want, but hp
had never bowed linnsell to bear the yoke of de--
pendehce. Alone he hadtoiled, aloue he hid •
struggled. alone he had on success. His mother
had been the first to eneouragehis youlliful germ*
rind to plant the seeds of honorable arnbipon with
in his soul. He had loved her with air • et an
i.lolatrous affection, and when he saw her eking out
by the labors of the needle the small annuity which
ecured her from starvation, in order that he might
devote all his own little-stipend as teac er to kiln
own education, he felt that ~, ,, •ratifnde and love alike
required him to persevere until success! should
' reward the mother by crowning the son.
There is something ennobling and hallowing' hi
such a tie as that which existed between Mrs. Fer t
rers and Clarence. A gentle, humble-minded
man herself. she WAS ambitions that her sort Oonld
he good and great She knew the benuniktig ef t
feet of poverty upon the soul, but she took care
that the genial Warmth of affection should counter
' act its evil inflnences upon the gifted mind of her
' darling eon. She was his friend, his eilibunllor, his
sympathizing companion, sharing all his hopes, his
aspirations, his pleasures, and 'his sorrows, as only'
; a true-hearted and loving woman can do. Long
ere he readied the veai's cif Mature manhood - the
bond between mother' and son had been made
stronger than death ; and, alas far more enduring,
than life.-- Mrs. Ferrer: , lived to see Clarence oc-'
cupying a position of honor arid usefulness as pro
fes-oriu one of our most distinguished colleges..—
Her death left him a lonely and desolate man, for
so close -had been their communion. so thorough
had been their mutual svmpathv, that he had nev
er till then felt the need - of - another friend. But in ' 1
the enthusiasm of his deep and fervent love: he
felt that he was not dissevered by the, hand of
death; and many an hour did fie hold converse in
his secret soul with the "spirit-mother," whom he
felt to' be ever near him.
Clarence Ferrers had eonnted his thirtieth sum
mer. when an old great-uncle. who bad suffered
him-to struggle with poverty during all his early
years, without stretching forth a finger to sustain
him, died very suddenly. leaving behind an ini•
mens.e fortune, which'heaistributed by will,among
some dozen charitable associations, *host very.
names he had never heard until . they were sng
gested by hts•hiwyer, and making not the slightest
inention of his nephew. Luckily for hint, the will
ttnrrecuted, and 'the negleeted Clarence learn
ed that, as heir-in-lasi, he was entitled to the whsle
of his miserly Uncle's hoarded - wealth. Years had -
passed since Clarence had even seen the old man ;
and he certainit owed hinr no gratitude for the gift
which wbuld have been withheld frbm him if death
had not been even more cruel than avarice. 'But
- 1 Clarence Was not' a niari • to feel selfishly on any
subject. One hundred thousfind dollars, the fifth
part of his newly-acquired fortune, was distribn t
