to see if my letter had been formed upon the

' Gaped happily, if I might but be allowed to sit
quietly in the corner I had chosen. Even the
very silent person at my side did not particu
larly anncy . me so long as the noisy group in
the centre of the roam would' allow me to. be
quiet.'
I had been reared from early childhood in
the house of a wealthy, dhildlees uncle in the
city. I was very young, and had no idea -of
society, except what I gained . from being a
looker-on at my aunt's semi-anneal, stiff and
for Mal parties, where the company was very
&menus and epatslively stupid.
My uncle had died very suddenly, without
will, and his heir-at-law had taken povsession
of his property, leaving my aunt with a com
paratively small income, while I, after having`
Hen reo'red until' the ago of sixteen in the
midst of wealth and luxury, was left entirely
unprovided for,
My aunt went to live in lodgings, and I was
sent back to my father, who woe a poor man.
with many children,...and a slatternly, scolding
wife, who was not my mother'. My- own moth
er had died iu my.infaney, end it was said my
father had never been himself since. Ho had
become dissipated, lost his habits of business,
nhich were.fast bringing him Realty,- and at
quitting business entirely, had- gone to
live on a little farm in'the interior of theState,'
had married,- and was now surrounded by a
large disorderly, beisterouslatnilY.
In this uncongenial home I was stilidenly,
thrust from the refinements of my life in the
house of a wealthy - citizen. 1 - ..was - sity - and
unhappy. -I had.-never been accustomed to
the companionship of children, but I-- soon
found that whenever I eitrank involuntarily
from the dirty, noisy' crag around me - I gave
offenee to-the Mother,and, through her repre
sentation, to my father, who seemed completely
under her influence. . , , ' • . '
Evcry'instiustlve Indulgence in the tastes
and Imtblle in which I bad been rcaral was
looked upon as an evidence of pride, and I
soon found 'all theinfinences of home arrayed
against tne and My wishes. •'< •
I bad shrunk, through sbytess, from attend.
bag this , first party, but had gone because I
could notresist,my mother's , sneers and my
fatbeetkoornmends. And so much had I bein
terrified by the good-natured boisterousness of
the yo . ung 'people 'asse'mbled' that I mentally ,
resolved never to gengain. Notwithstanding;
I found myself once more in the same circle,
after a very trying scene at home, and in my
dread'of the 'thirty pairs of, eyes fisted npou
toe','ltad been drawn into their games.,
I had'• net yet ,„ . gluiteer at the race or the

hours of the evening to which I" lied looked
forward with eo much dread, and which. had
commenced' so inaustticiously ; •
And when be brought several of the bright,
ruddy-looking girls to speak to me in the
course fof the.. evening, 'I found what foolish
shyness had prevented me from learning be:-

eialiy as, when they found 1 was not proud to
join in their sports, they never: attempted do
drag inothito any which I did not like.
But chief milting the 'pleasant memories of
that evening . was the kindness of Leander
Holme. A pair of dark eyes haunted my
thoughts for many a day, and 1.-never forgot
the Soothing' impression of his calm voico-'and
pleasant manner. . •

him intinently superior to those : around 'him,
,evert if his winning mintier had not been-that
of n perfect gentlemen--refined, courteous 'anti
manly..
• Of courso no onetwill wonder that dbeeame
-ileeplidn love-with Leander- Holme. • His de
votion had never wavered from the -first; and
long before the 'first _Winter in--my father's
hoine had passed-!had promised to become
'his wife. It would have been a dreary and.
miserable winter indeed without 'his peewit:a ,
and loveTbut Witirit=nlr, -- twitau - ntur - that --
long years have passed, dthink of that, only'
recurring to that time, and never ,of, tho_dis

piness; ceased to mnike me Miseikblo.
-My father and his Wife worn all smiles and
approval. "But - wheu, toward spiting, our en
gagement came,to the knowledge of Leander's-,
father, lie at once onnouncetdhis decided' dis
approbation, I heard that be asserted that
he wouldriever consent that his eon should
marry the daughter of a lazy, dissipated man, -
and-he said that'my-oit-y-rearinewas scarcely_
a better preparation for the duties'af mistress'
of Holme Place than:l should have received at
'pie bands of that brawling, slatternly father's
wife,
Leander was Grmotnil talked of the future
find - patient — waiting. But I felt — that - I had
been scorned, and my indignation
. was un
boUnded. I Wrote'to my aunt, telling her all
in.no'lneasured phrase, and begging her to
send for mo to live with her once more, if pos
sible. Her answer was to come at once, and
I departed, much to the consternation of 'cloy
father and the ill-concealed delight of his wife,
w'no hated mo more than ever since she heard
of Colonel Holme's remark. .
I left a little unto for Learyler,..Who was ab
sent at the time; saying that thesongagement
had better end, and releasing him fully and
unconditionally. .I wrote and sealed the note
without hesitation or faltering, though it coot
Me a severe pang to do no.
.. I did not know until I had been settled in
my aunt's home a week, and my letters, in a
package directed in Leander's hand, arrived
withent a lino from him, Bow 'I had hoped
through all that he would not connect to be
released, but would still cling , to me. '••
But ho, too, bad his indignation—ho was
hurt that I should have arranged * formy de
parture without consulting him, and he was
pained at the coldness of my note. Bci, thro'
the faults'of others, and misunderstanding of
their own, two hearts that really and truly
lo'ved were severed. Alas! that the story had
so meny.counterport •
My aunt's income by considerable economy,
siipportediul, and enabled us to retain our
pinoe in the society in which we had been 11C
quistonied.. Itwes more than she anticipated
Whin-she-sent-. me home , tuniy-father, or she
never would have exposed me to the trials I
have passed; . - •
_ As time .paesed had lovers, as any
pretty girl will—fo`r, if I might believe' my
mirror and my friends, I was not without at
tractions—tint none of them touched my'
heait. . • '
On looking back I con 'see that I was • al
ways. wahing, waiting with an undefined ex;
pectation of something that never came. W.,aso
it for Leander that. I waited ? lf it was; I
never achnoWledgml it \ to myself, but it was
with a terrible pang', a dumb but• very real

THIRTY-YEARS AN, OLD DIA.ID
.. :With .no 'experience, .we . are obliged of
course, to take - this lady's word for it, that she
tells a' true story.
Not that I date from that. midnight hour,
when, flushed and frafftie, my father exclaim.:
ed, with :ungodly emphasis, "Confound
'Another girl !" l
In my behalf, Dame Grady gave him allook
at that moment that ought to have annihilated
him'with its' deprecating candor, as slie de
_pelted me, like_a, half ritifled kitten, in the
roomy depths of an easy-chair. - Why didn't
somebody take a seat? '
I have no particular delights associated with
those days and years of my .earliest 'maiden
hood. I recolleot . that [ : rebelled furiously-at
the paternaleuggestions I receive by the
channel of slipperi, whips and. whalebenee,
takingn painfully deliberate view of
myself in a mirror one day,.l name to the eon-.
elusion that, in view of my mousey hair, spot
ted nose-and pordino eyes, my motherhad my
sympathies.
. At the budding age of fifteen, when the pro
teotive law ought to limit the liberties of young
females to the area of a state aaylum,l.•wao
the fifth Miss Thompson, and a mighty- die
nordant "fifth," at that. I recollect that, on
_my first_l_appeartince in_seciety,i_so_ellooked
paternal propriety by telling a regular old
Scotch'terrier of a parson that the Itugels in
the "Court of Death" leaked insufferably
bored, that I was warned to keep myself in
arrears to society thereafter, and cultivate the
solemnities t 4 life as I—would propagate my
eyebrows.
Unfeeling parent! lie-touched my tender
point then ; for, up to that hour, I had never
discovered anything on my face, in that local
ity, but a broken arch of downy fur—very un
prorniaing as a symptom, and as a foundation
utterly defiant of hair dye or burnt cork. It
seemed to me that I stood in rather: an un
promising light as regarded that ultipia Mule
of young misses' hopes—matrimony and a fi
sal Battlement, but I firmly made up my mind.
that I need not expect my. four predecessors
_to bo my four precedents in the matrimonial
line, and so I prepared to launch forth. As
the paternal income- was annually absorbed in
...dry goods, boots and shoes," for the Thomp
eon dynasty, I could not rely on g"plum," in
which, as children take a pill, I might be dex
terously administered to some poor billions
soul, so, after fearful perplexity, I resolved
to devote myself to literature. Shall I ever
forget my tedious jobs with Pope and Milton,
my ghostly encounters with the ancients, or
my ithortive boribgs into 'Whatley's Elements.
--
Many a drowse overtook me just as the fallen'
angels assembled to war, and I never found
out who came off beat, or oven if they fought
at_all. Man'y_a...time did_ I plunge MO the
muddy depths of syllogisms, and an regularly
came - np to the surface like a puff ball. But
ray father began to lookup° me as a celibacy.
T bore myself witti anoh inflated confidence,
that I have no doubt, had I been out off at
that rare ripened state, the village cemetery
would have been adorned with my classic bust
repop on a perfect fortification of boobs,
and 3 erary pamphlets gracing my head like
drapery. I can't keep back a pitiful sigh
sometimes, when I think bow feeit looses its
value when over-ripened. Just as I had got
into besieging roondition, and had tortured my
conversational impulsiveness into- intellectual
gasps, I took by storm a worthy Baptist min
