"Mary," said Charles Henderson to
his wife, as they rose from their noontide
repast, " this would be a pleasant day for
you to go out calling; can't you go ?"
"I suppose I could," was the reply.—
"But I should have to take Charley with
me, fur I promised Jane she might have
this afternoon."
"Well, then, draw Ch-rley down to
the store and take care of him," said
Mr. Henderson, kindly; and as his wife
followed him to the door, lie gave her a
good bye kiss and walked with elastic
[read down the neatly graveled path lead
ing to the little white gate.
Mary stood looking after him wills a
loving eye and thought, " whitt a dear,
good husband he is !--.1 ought to be very
thankful."
It was a lovely day in October, and the
breeze stole gently through the crimson
vineleaves clustering around the piazza
of their unsay cottage home. Mr.-Hen
derson was engaged in the mercantile
business in the thriving town of West
bury. Industrious mid frugal in his
habits;. ho bade fair to become a success
ful merchant ; and his young wife was
ever ready to lend a helpin ,, hand, and by
her economy and tact, aided him more
than either of them realized .Neverthe
less, she was not always contented with
her still humble lot, although she Seldom
troubled her husband. , with any complaint.
Many of her acquaintances moved in a
higher circle of society, and she was by
no means insensible to the inferiority of
her furniture and dress, when compared
with theirs; and it must be confessed
that the remembrance of this fact some;
times caused her an unhappy hour.
On the afternoon in question theie re
pining thoughts - thronged Unbidden round
her heart, and soott,Attiried undisputed
possession of that citadel. She tkuned
.away from the door with a listless air and
ascended the .stairs to her own room.- 77
Flow cheap the pretty chamber set looked
in "comparishn With Mrs. Thornton's ele•
gent rosewood furniture ! The white
window shades, too, were vastly inferior
to the costly curtains that draped the
windows of her aristocratic friend; and
how low the ceiling was I and how mean
the ingrain carpet seemed to her=ambi
tious vision ! And as she began to make
her toilet for the afternoon's walk, she
ejaculatedimpatiently :
fOll, dear ! I've - nothint to wear I
My_ black silk....looks so dowdy, an.d then
I' yp,Worn,it so much;_ and my blue is at
least two inches too , short, _I do think.
ITharres - might . let me have a new ; dress ;
but it's -always the way, -- a merohant's wife

concluded with a sighf u I must wear the

age remarkably well. Her neat straw
hat, with its bright fall ribbons' and flow
ers, was very becoming; and her street
basque, just the style, although made out
of her old cloak." Her kid gloves Were
not new, but were free from those untidy
rips which too many ladies leave unmend
ed. Surely those articles of apparel were
not indicative of extreme destitution I
Before donning her outer wrappings,
however, she prepared her twelve-month
boy for his visit to " Papa's store." A
fine little fellow wits the pet Charley, and
when clad in his new merino dress, with
a pretty cloak and fancy hat, he might
well be looked upon by loving eyes, with
fond and proud affection.
Jane helped her mistress to draw the
little carriage down the steps, and out of
the gate, and Mrs. Henderson proceeded
en her way in rather a more desirable
frame of mind.
She met several ladies who stopped to
kiss Charley, and call him "a jewel," "a
beauty," and "a splendid baby ;" and ar
riving at her husband's store, he greeted
her with his accustomed kindness, and
proudly lifted his darling boy from the
carriage, and telling his wife to enjoy all
she could and be home at tea-time, he
again bid her "good-bye."
Ifor first destination was Mrs. Judge
Thornton's, the brown stone house on
the. hill ; she was one of the elite of West
bury. As 'Mrs. llemlerson ( T oned the
heavy iron gate, and walked np the box
edged walk, she gazed half enviously
upon the elegant.mansion and its tasteful
surroundings. The yard was very largo,
containing. fine trees and shrubbery;
vases of geraniums, and mounds of ver
bena and helitrope . while a fountain threw
its crystal spray high up in the autumn
sunshine, falling agdn with a musical
sound into its marble basin.
She ascended the marble steps, and
rangy; the hell, and was aided by a servant
'into a dimly lighted parlor ; sat down on
the purple velvet tote-a-tete and looked
about her. It was all marble, velvet, and
rosewood, every thing that fancy could
devise, or art invenv, but it looked t 0, ..)
thrmal, toe faultless, and the visitor re
membered that it was a childless home- - --
there were no tiny feet to tread upon
those gorgeous carpets—nolittle hands to
disarrange these curious ornament.; on the
ctegere —no young faces to be rpflected in
those full-length mirrors—and She said
to herself, I would not give my Charley
for them
Just then the rustle of brocade was
heard, and Mrs. Thornton languidly en
tered the room. t-zhe wit, a pale, leinghty
looking person, but when she spoke there
wax a i ; :ttntie .cadence in her tones that
fold she wi g . It. have r.„.,„ affectionate'
and happy wt:nhau h.el love but touched
her heart with its in.e_rie wand. But the
ble , sed ministry of children had been ac
nic.l her, and anti ition was the idol of
her proud hushand. It was evident that
amid all the luxuries of wealth, she still
felt lonely and sad.
After a brief call Maly left, and as the
iron gate main clanged behind her, she
gave a sigh of relief and hastened on to
Mrs. Livermore's; who lived in a large
mansion nearly- opposite Judge Thorn
ton's. When Mrs. Henderson took her
seat in the parlor, she needed no previous
acquaintance with the family to assure
her that children formed an important
element of her hou , ehold. The floor was
literally strewn with toys; a broken
headed doll lay on. the sofa—a rocking
horse stood in the tnitldle of the room;
and immediately alter her entrance a
noisy boy rushed in and began bounding
a ball, at the imminent risk of mirrors
and vases. He was soon fbllowed by two
girls, with dirty faces and aprons, who
were quite oveYwlieltning• in their attec
dons to Mrs: I fonderson's bonnet-strings
and lace trimmings. a
At last Mrs. Livermore entered wear
ing a wrapper which might once have
been of rich cashmere, but which was
now quite too much soiled to be elegant.
She held her baby in her arms, and al
though its robe was of finely wrought
cambric, it was too much crimpled and
dingy to be excusable in the eyes of Mrs.
Henderson, among whose distinguished
traits was a love of neatness and order.—
The call was as agreeable as could have
been expected under the circumstances.
Mrs. Livermore. was an easy, afliible wo
man,- but too indolent ors.aieless to g9Yern
her 'children, or keep them and berseif
dressed tidily. No wonder that her hus
band, who had been a prim and precise
bachelor, was daily shocked at the appear
ance of his house and fluidly, or that ho
rarely chose to spend an evening-amid
such confusion ; which fact, together with
her unruly children and inflicient domes
tics, formed the staple of Mr. Livermore's
conversation on all occasions.
Mrs. Henderson again drew a long
breath as she turned towards Mrs. Leigh's
tasteful cottage. Here all- was in perfect
order; the two children models of good
behavior, and Mrs. Leigh on excellent
and amiable person ; but alas ! she was a
widow, and as Mary Henderson thought
how lonely it must he to tread life's
path with no strong arm to lean upon,
she preyed that she might be truly grate
ful for the love and devotion of her kind
huSband.
' Her next call was at -Mrs. Stanton's,' - a
large and showily furnislicd;ltousc, 'but, it
was • welt 'known in Westbury that only
the most strenuous_exertions enabled . the
-.'.family to ‘i keep up appearances." They'
toiled early and late,, contrived, pinched,
.:and scrimped in their dailyalving -and
apparel; that they might'haVe the. means
for occasional display at parties and at
church. Nary pitied them hnd thought
how unsatisfying must such -a life be; all
outside show—no pure borne enjeytnent,.
And again she' felt thankful for her-Owit
ostontati_ous but far happier lot,
The short autumn afternoon was draw-,
to a close, and she had time for but
one, more call, and that was on Mis.j.anei
the wife of her patitor. ,The . parsonage
was• an attractive and cheerful, looking
—dwelling v labking-none-o' of-the-'appliances

affectionate children; but she was a con
firmed invalid, and could not rise from
the lounge in the sitting-room to welcome
Mrs. Henderson. She was a sweet-look
ing intellectual woman,. but her life was
one of weariness and suffering; and only
the consciousness of the religion she not
only professed, but , 'exemplified _in all
things, enabled her to endure her pain
and languor with so much meekness and

She now returned with a light step,
but lighter heart, to the Ihtle cottage from
whose windows she already saw a light
beaming invitingly. The cozy sitting
room had never looked so pleasant to her
before; a cheerful fire burned in the
grate ; her husband was seated near, read
ing the evening paper, and Charley was
asleep in his arms. The tea-table was
neatly spread, only awaiting her return ;
and as she laid aside her outer garments,
Jane brought in the tea and toast. Charles
laid his little boy down gently in the crib,
and after giving his wife the usual kiss of

friend was irresistably directed towards the
hat; and his surprise greatly increased, the
reader may well imagine, on observing the
head of a sizeable snake thrust out and look

perceiving the discovery:, addressed him :

"Ella, read this," said Mr. Clarkson
tossing a letter to his daughter, as he
came into the room where she was sew-
ing.
Like a dutiful daughter she obeyed.
" Well, papa, the spare room is ready
When will he come?"
" To-night. He will stay two or throe,
months. I ilon't suppose it will be very
pleasant, dear ; but as ho is cousin Toni's
Only child, I can scarcely refuse to receive
him as a visitor for a short time."
"Where is Serimptown, father'?" in
quired Ella, referring to the date of the
letter.
In Washington Territory. Poor Tom,
after his wife died, became a perfect Ti
won, and resolved to avoid all intercourse
with humanity. He took Lionel, his boy,
with him, and emigrated to the far West.
lie gave no one his address ; wrote no
word home ; awl this letter communica
ting news of his death, and his son's wish
to see sometiiing of city life, is the first
that I have heard of him fur eight or ten
years.
'! fro V 7 OW is my cousin ?"
"Let me see'. Lionel must be nearly
thirty."
",,And has he lived all his life at
Seritnptown ?'
" Since he teas ten or twelve years old.
I expect he is a perfect savage, my love,
but we must be hospitable for poor Tom's
sake. Ife was my classmate Dear, dear'
how time flies! Is dinner ready, Ella ?"
"There's the bell, now," said the little
housekeeper, laying aside her work ; and
the daughter and father left the room.
"
Aunt Lizzie," said Ella, as they met
an elderly lady in the hall, " we expett
a visitor to-night. A young gentleman,
auntie. TrinCup your best cap, auntie,
to set at him.''
" Tow Boyd's son," said Mr. Clarkson,
handing her the letter. •
"'foul dead ! Poor fellow ! Well, Lio
nel was a pretty boy."
Dinner over, Mr. Clarkson was enjoy
ing his nap on the sofa; aunt Lizzie was
knitting and Ella was reading, when the
parlor door opened and a tall, very tall
ii , Jure filled the vacanted spaceo
"is Mr. Clarkson here ?" A deep not
unmusical voice asking this question
roused the sleeping man, who at up and
looked at the speaker.
" I ant Lionel Boyd, sir.''
"and heartily welcome here !" said Mr.
Clarkson, grasping his hands. " Ella, my
dual', your cousin.. Lizzie, you remember
Lionel's rather ?"
J'robably, if the choice had been .of
fered him, Lionel would rather have faced
a loaded cannon than the two gracefully,
I elegantly dressed ladies who now greeted
him ; but he bowed silently, and then
turning his back on both, sat down beside
Mr. Clarkson ; aunt. Lizzie arched her
eyebrows, Ella shrugged her shoulders,
and theU with one exchanged glance, they
resumed their seats.
Ella's thoughts ran something in this
style :
" ll'in, manners are scarce in Scrimp
town ; so are tailors, I guess. Light
great coat, coining to his heels, twenty
years old, if its a day ; and where did the
animal g et that hat he keeps on to show
its beauty I suppose!? What boots !
Brown as an Indian. A perfect savage !
I'll go make him talk. Cousin Lionel ?"
she said aloud.
'I he young man started as if she had
fired a pistol at his ear, and turned his
chair to face her, with a jerk that almost
upset the young lady's gravity.
"111a'ain !"
" I hope you had a pleasant journey."
" Cold, ma'am, awful."
" I have noticed that it is apt to be so
in January."
" It is in our parts, ma'am !"
"What shall I say now ?" thought El
la. " How the wan stares !"
A sudden jerk of her cousin's chair
back to its first position, made the mus
'cols round her mouth so rebellio-is that
she was glad he did not see her. Mr.
Clarkson succeeded rather better in draw
ing forth the young man's conversational
powers : but his awkward bashfulness,
whenever Ella joined in the chat, made
the afternoon a mixture of ludicrous and
embarrassing attempts to entertain him..
Tea time was still worse. The useful hat
was removed only upon Mr. Clarkson's
giving a mild hint to that effect, and, like
Dickens, Captain Cuttle, he seemed lost
without feeling it upon his head. His
dark, hair was very long, and curled al
most like girl's on his neck; he word a
heavy beard" and moustache, through
which glimpses of white, even teeth ap- .
pared, his eyes, which he never raised, ,
wore largo and very dark, and , altogether '
he was a fine specimen of a handsonui
Westerri man ; but his old fashioned, ill
fittin, clothes, his extreme bashfulness
and
fitting
terror of Ella and her aunt,
made his emotions constrained, and he
seemed to Ella, fairly to swell his hands "
toitrfeeif so much did they appear to•bo
in the owner's way. He stirred his tea
with all the energy necessary to dig a well,
and then. swallowed It scalding hot at one
mouthful ; he dried the' tears which fol
lowed this operation with his napkin, and
.hen put that article in his pocket. El
la's inquiries aruleffdis to.serve him with
the food before him were the fcceasion of
such a deluge of crinison over his face, •
and such nervous jerking lii - overnetits; Wet -
finally in sheer pity, she left lriiu to her
father.
Days glided into weeks. At Mr. Clark
son's suggestion;Lionel had his outer ma i n

her endeavors to plade him at ease. He

and was not seen 'till morning, when he
waa found wrapped in a blanket, fast
asleep in the summer house in the garden.
" Bother the man !" muttered the little
beauty, as she sat one day, turning the
leaves of some new music, " I can't get
him out of my head. Hero he has been
for ono whole month actually in the house
with me, and I know no more about him
than if lie lived at the North Pole. He's

a word, if we set `together for hours, ex

" Cousin Ella !"
The deep, grave tones were close be

earnestness.
" I am the bearer of news that will pain

chair again, and bent over her. " I came

Wisely he gave her something, to do,

in came soon and in his strong anus lie
held her dear hither, who oniiled to Ella
as Lionel placed hint gently upon the
bed.
A week of pain i Alowed the fall—cruel,
agonizing pain, and the cousins were con
stant watchers. In the earnest desire to
be useful, Lionel forgot to be bashful, and
many a tear of tenderness started to the
fltiher's eyes, as he saw the strung man's
care fur the little nurse. Every hour
found him at his post, now altering the
invalid's position, now gently, tenderly
comforting the polo girl. All that a doe
tor's skill and tender nursing could do,
was vain, and Ella had the agony of an
orphan's grief to bear. It was a bitter
blow and seemed unendurable. For weeks
she wa-i in a state of entire apathy, smil

her cousin's care at 6very step, but pining.,

fell, but it roused instead of crushing her.
Her father's anirs were found to be in a
complicated state, and the knot was finally
unravelled, Duly to show that he died pen

NAPOLEON ANDIVI ADAMS DE STAEL
Many a great reputation or great suc
cess results from disheartening check.
Napoleon Bonaparte, a young, unknown
insignificant soldier, lost his appointment
in the army on - the overthrow of Robes
pierre. This loss made him Emperor of
the French, when he might otherwise
have been nothing but an obscure soldier.
it brought him up to Paris, to get another
post. He saw"Barras, Barras saw him.
Barras saw not the mere soldier, but the
future Emperor of the French, the con
queror•of Europe. He kept him in Paris,
and the young Bonaparte's fame was se
cured.
It was not probable that the daughter
of Necker, the friend of constitutional
liberty, should adhere very ardently to the
encroaching policy of General Bonaparte,
as year after year his brief, brilliant cam
paign raised him a step higher in influ
ence at Paris. Still, Madame de Stael
had returned to Paris, had opened her
• saloon and her mouth, and not only could
not avoid the first man of the day, but
even sought him out to tackle him with
her wit. She found her match in the
blunt, rude soldier. "Whom do you
think the greatest woman, dead or alive ?"
she asked him,,with that direct mode of
attack which was her peculiarcharacter 7
istio, and made her society often, as Byr
.on thought it, rather,. oppressive, " Her,
! madam," replied the general, -" who has
, born the most sons." 'I" They say you are
not ;Tory friendly to the sex„:•' she resumed.
" I am pasSionately fond of my wife," said

Still Napoleon was justly afraid of her
' bitter truths.. " She has-shaft,s/I-lie.-said,

to him and attempted in vain. to induce
him to leave the chateau and fly to a se
curer spot. The event proved that he
was right to Amain there. The French
troops entered I,y the Canton Vaud, and
passed close to Coppet ; but a message
from the Directoire informed M. Neclfer
that his life and freedom would be re
spected during the invasion. The inhab
itants of Coppet listened'to the sound of
the cannon which .was borne to them
through Alpine echoes from Borne, a dis
tance of nearly eighty miles, and the old
Genevan knew well enough that his native
land was destined to become an appanage
of his adopted country.
Madame de Stael returned to Paris
about the same time that Napsleon name
back in triumph from Egypt, and made
his first great step toward absolute pow
er, backed by the army. She reopened
her salon, which was now crowded with
all that party which, like herself, dreaded
the increasing influence of this new man,
and looked with regret on the decay of
The republic, which they had imagined to
be well and firmly established. Among
her guests was Joseph Bonaparte. for
whom she entertained a sincere regard.—
The first Consul gathered from his broth
er something of the principles of the most
popular drawing room in Paris, and felt
that here was a rival to his own populari
ty among the educated classes of the me
tropolis. The great little man was not
above jealousy of such a woman, and tried
to attach her to himself.
" Whst does she want ?" he said to'Jo
seph. " - Her father's two millions? Shp
shall have. them. Leave to stay in Paris?
She shall remain. What dues she want?
Why does she not join us?"
When Joseph reported this to his friend,
in the hope of bringing her round to - his
brother's party, she replied, ." The diffi
culty monsieur is not what I want, but
what I Mink."
The popularity of her salon was not in
creased by the speech in the Senate of
Benjamin Constant, the famous journalist,
who there denounced the first Consul,
without specifying him by name, as aspir
ing to arbitrary power. Mactazne de Stael
was suspected of having ptocilipted this
spoech,..and the next day her salon was
Was empty, and she was recommended by
the minister, Fondle, to " retire for a few
days to the country." At this period,
both Lucien and Joseph Bonaparte wore
as frequent visitors at Madame de Stael's
as at her intimate friend, Madame Re
camier's• Joseph was her especial favor
ite, and it will well be understood, how
completely the conqueror of Switzerland,
Egypt and Italy, dreaded the tongue and
independent spirit of this one woman,
when it is known that he even warned hift
brother, soon after the speech of Constant,
to desist Amin his visits, which. - of course
lie did. It was from the day on which
this speech was made that Madame do
Stael dates the hostility of the future em
peror. Constant was known to be her in
timate friend. It was known that he had
apprised her of his intention ; and she
confesses that she had encouraged him
strenuously to deliver the speech which
created so much sensation.
Toward the end of September she re
ceived, by a commandant of gendamerie,
an order to retire to a distance of forty
leaglies from Paris, and not approach the
capital within the circle of thht radius.
This was the fashionable mode of exile at
that day, when the offence was not:suffi
ciently marked to justify a banishment
from that country.
To 'Madame de Stael this was the com
mencement of an exile which lasted ten
years. To the woman who preferred a
small room in the Rue de Bac to a chat
eau in the lovely scenery of Lake Leman,
this was indeed a 'terrible hardship.—
" You see," she said to the gendarme,
"the consequences of being a femme
espirit ; and I would recommend you,:
if there is occasion; to dissuade any, &-
wales of your family from attempting it."
