ANN I!: AND I.
I am nn old maid
There is a period in life when such a con
fession is very difficult to make. From thirty
to forty, which is a sort of chrysalis slate.
when one clings n little. to past hopes, and
feels quite confident. their like will come no
more, there is n decided sensitiveness in re
gard to autobiographical dates, a shrinking
from prolonged interviews, with geneologists
and inquiitive old and even a latent
'dread of the colemporarics of youth, who aro
happily married. and generously teach their
offsprings to call you ..aunt."
This transition period has passed for me long
ago; in fact, I tun a score of:years beyond it;
end now, sitting here by the fire in my cap
and
. spectacles and deep wrinkles, 1 will tell
you my little story.
I was very pretty' when I was seventeen
year s s - old. I could not help knowing it, and
the knowledge was accompanied by a little
fluttering thrill of pleasure, which mother and
Anne called vanity; but as I always, .to this
duty, have the same feeling at sight of any
thing lovely and fair, be it bunion face or del
icate field flower, 1 think they were mistaken.
My mother was one of the best of women . —
fo - me far the best woman I ever- knew. You
recollect the picture of Faith that bangs nt the
foot of my bed. I have it there, where my
glance may fall upon Wiest at night and first
in the morning, beckuse the serious mouth,
and saintly eyes, and bands of shining hair
are so very like hers,' who is now, I trust,' in
{leaven. Ity this you will know that my moth
er was beautiful as well as good.
Sister Anne was ten years older than I. Sho
was a great dent better than ever I thought of
being. for she could do all sorts of household
work; nnd then - she had a way of helping the
poor, and nursing the sick,. and coinforting
the afflicted, and making garments for dirty
children, like the godd Dorcas of whom we
read in the Acts of the Apostles, so every one
in the _village looked up to her, and paid her
as much 'respebt as they did the uniiiiilees
wife. •
As for me, T sm sadly afraid I never did
anything to make people look up to me with
respect, At. -Immo I Was so careless that if
denr 'blether had not been a saint, and Anne
afeminine edition of Job, I should never have
known wheroe;to find a single article of my
wardrobe.
As for pickling, rind preserving, nod nice
cooking, and the homelier offices of sweeping,'
dusting, and the like, I could not bring myself
to them with any degree of_patilncc. In vain
the good •mather often said to too, "My denr •
Rose,
thee° actions that seem so slight to you b
my be done in ouch a spirit as to please God,
as good George Herbert says:
servant. Trilb this clause
Makes drddgery• .
Wha.sweeps a room, asfor 'Thl laws,
Makes that and the action tine.": -
I liked the puelryit was simple and sweet -
-hut it failed to beautify brooms and dusters,
in my eilitnation. '
'Anne had is lover over the seas, who was to
condo home some day when tie had made a largo _
fortune' and marry her. They parted, trial.'

There was n , full minute of intense eiletiee;
and then Anne endMarthii lifted her in.their
arms, and Km, e...ee'nseless weight, to her bed;
It was paralysis!. • ,•
This happened in February, and for three
=nibs we,,watehed And prayed and hOped
that'iliirnighrin some rregree recover (Ito use
of her limbs and her'speech. ,Poor Anne lost
all her little' beauty in .canstani - : care and
anxiety. Her, cheeks grew.thiti and wbite,.
'her gray eyes sunken ;
,here and there a thread
of silver mingled with her dark hOir',,and two
deep lines marred the emoothnetis of her low
forehead,—But she was' never weary, never,
impatient, and mother t enuld ;not bear her out
oflier Sight single nieinenti no.,there she
staid`by. the invalid's couch - smoothing her
pillows, holding her poor bands.-and smiling
sweetly in her face, until it seemed to - me that
our Anne was little less than an angel. Burly
in May mother died; and forgetting the few
months of suffering, our memory gave her to.
us ns she ailed ttibe—gentle, tender, loving—
and we, mourned for her with deep sorrow.
We burted'her in the garden, under the shadow
-of-her—favorite -tree,,for_,we_w_a_nted to feel
that she was near us still—and we .planted
shrubs and fair 'lowers over her . grave.
. And now that all was oder. Anna began to
think of herself. 81ie kept it, front me as long
as it was possible, but AL length I learned the
truth. Long watching, arid cars,, nd,grief
had done their Work, and Anne was going
blind! . •
Tho first I know of it was one evening. about
n fortnight after the funeral. We were stand
ing together at, the open window, before the
lamp was lit, talking of mother, when my eyes
chanced to fall upon the now moon just sink•
Mg' behind the daileline of pines that skirted
the western horizon. I drew Anne's atten
tion, and for a minute or more she strained
her poor eyes to' catch its tremulous silver.
light; then shaking her head, she lakt her soft
maid in mine, and whispered, sadly: . •
"i con not see it, Rose." •
I looked down in her face—for I was a bead
taller than she—and I have 'never forgotten
the expression of divine resignation that .soft
cited every feature.
"I can not see it, sister," I echoed. _
"No dear; nor tho 'stars. It is a long
while that I have not. seen the stars, and I
miss them more than I can tell. They - always
comforted me So! • Rose, my child, your sis.
lees sight is failing!" .
l would not believe it. The thought of Anne
blind—good, thoughtful, careful Anne, who
was now looking forward
,to one great joy,
the speedy return of her lover- 7 she to have
her eyes darkened! Oh, not - Ood, who.wns
good rind kind, would .not suffer it. Thtiii
re nsona — tlie — foolish - ghteen,—Since
then - 1 have learned to trust His love,.although
I often fail to understand the way by which
he leads me.
Neither Anne nor I closed our eyes to sleep
that night. '• We thought and planned until
day-break, for, if What slip said were trte,
something must. bo done, lind that speedily.
Surely there was room for hope when there
wore such great occulists in New York and
Philadelphia; they could,, they must help An
ne! As if in anticipation of our wishes, there
cams within the week a letter 'from, of
'mother's old friends'who lived in New 'York.
.It was full of gentle sympathy and kindness,.
and 0110 begged one of us to come to her for a
few weeks of rest. (sere was just theopening .
we needed,. and of course Anne must go; And
yet, so careful was she for - me that alto would
scarcely' consent to the journey. She knew
how lonely the hoes° would be with mother
and her twth gone; and Wen I knew so little
'about housekeeping. I verily think she would
have given up the journey, yid been content
to settle down to her darkened life for the
sake of saving, ins the trouble and pain of a
separation, hod it not been for ilk: thought of
her lover. As it WrIET ' she spent a vreelt.in or
ranging for my comfort, mapping out Mar
tha's work with the utmost precision, and even
writing • down on a slip of paper the things . I
niust try to do and care for while she was
gone. • .
I tititewl slimed 'miss our Anne, but I had
'nor - anticipated such titter loneliness. When
I went bock into the house after watching the
'singe until it was out of sight, I wandered
about from room to room unable to set myself
at work. Every article of fureituro was in
the nicest order. Anne'S last:work lied been
to set bock a chair, and pick a thread from
the table cloth. I think it was a great mis
take to leave me nothing to do but to sit down
and cry.
Anne wrote immediately on her arrival at
New York, but , after that Mrs.. Allen wrote
for her. She had put herself under themare
of an etnitteat oculist, who gave 'her strong
hopes of permanent cure, only the strictest
care was to be observed for several weeks.
It Pilo hard to. think-of Anne lying in a
darkened room, when the dear world was so
fairsand full of bloom; but she sent me such
cheerful messages that' nt last I began to
think that she was less afflicted than I. I
might have known her better-1 who had wit
nessed her beautiful life of unselfishness and
love.
One day—l think it was the 2d of June—l
gathered from Anne's garden and mine a
bunch of 'roses, the first of the season, and
carried them to fill a marble vase on mother's
grove It was almost sunset, and I lingered
a long time - thinking-of--the -dear one_ whoa's
body lay there, and plerisirik myself with the
idea that her pure spirit might be near me,
though unseen, and also thinking of Anne, and
wishing ebe were again at home.
This reverie was interrupted by the unusual
sound of approaching footsteps, too heavy end
measured for Martha's. I looked up and saw,
through my tears, a man of medium height,
stout figure and swarthy complexion, whose
deep gray eyes were fastened upon the white
marblecross which marked my mother's grave.
It was too nearly dusk, for- him to read-the
simple inscription, and, turning tome, be
asked, In a sharp. abrupt voice: ".
"Who lies buried there?'.' , •
ttMy mother, Mary Wesley," I replied,
brushing away
,my tears, and rising from•the
green art:
`And where Is Anne? Are you the little

twelve long years!"
So this was Ralph Haven. Anne's friend,
come home at last. We walked slowly toward
the bones. and be did not repeat his inquily
for her, but all the' way I was puzzling my
heed to plan the gentlest manlier in whielt to
communicate the intelligence of her misfor

the house, When we,onnfe upon' the ter;

On the whole, pleasant traits and inci
dents aro not common .in the cars, I think.,
This opinion I expressed to my friend Somers
the other day. In reply 'to my remark, . ho
related a little adventure which as it is ep.
propos, and moreover involves. a littld love
and sentiment, I give it without apology, in
his' own words. It appears, that in the most
unlikely places love and 'sentiment may be
observed.
'• I was escorting borne the lovely Char.
lotte to whainl was , at the • time
quite devoted; we got into . a Crowded Avenue
csr. Charlotte could scarcely find room to
spread her crinoline‘and arrange her vol
blot's flounces ;Istood up' near her, there
being no vacant seat.
After a few minutes came in a poor woman,
who deposited a basket of clothes on the plat.
form, and held in her arms a small child,
'while a little girl hung to her dress. She
looked tired and weary, but there was no va.
cant seat, to be sure Charlotte might. "have •
condensed her flounces, but she did not.'lle.

gant young woman, who seemeddming, by
inovinedown closer to others, to Mike 'room
for.strangers between herself and Miss —.
At last.she succeeded, and with the sweetest
blush I ever saw, she invited the - poor bur.
denedifeinale to be seated. Charlotte
drew her drapery around her and blushed too,
but-it was:notirpretty - blash - at - allnuid - she--
,looked annoyed itt the . proximity of the,new..
collier, who was, however, decently though
thinly clad.
. The unknown lady drew the little girl upon
her, lap, and' wrapped her velvet mantle a
round the small, half clad form, and put her
muff over the half frozen little blue hands. •
So?great was the crowd that I,alone seemed
to observe. The child ehiveredthe keen
wind from the door blew upon her naprtitect
ed neck. I saw the young lady quietly drab
from under her shawl a little crimson shawl,
which she softly put on the shoulders of the.
little one, the mother lqokird - ou with ettfifus•

did not answer, the conductor harried her
out, but her oyes swam in tears, 'which no

'To shorten -the story as much as possible,
that holy is now my wife. In the small inni.
dent which introduced her to me showed her
real character. A few days after our mar•
riage I showed her the blessed crimson
shawl, which I had redeemed from its owner,
and shall always keep as a memento. There
are sometimes pleasant things to he found

said to have picked my wife in the cars.—
