The room, large, low-roofed, with
small, peaked window..., had not been built
in modern times. The furniture was al
most in keeping : roomy settees. broad,
plain ribbed back chairs, with faded wa

into dust, heav3 bookcases loaded with
proportionately ponderous or curiously

frames like coffins, covered with black
velvet and relieved by gilding.

of the amount of love entertained for
her by her nearest kin, but curiously,
though affectionate and passionate enough
to have been the pure and innocent child
of some fiery Jacobin, she had not vex
ed herself about - this mystery. One sees
every day lush purple and rose-colored
plants growing in unaccountable shade ;
true, their associates aro pale and droop
ing, and the growth of the hardier is
treacherous, and may distil poison, but the
evil principle is gradual, and after con
ditions have been confirmed and matured.
The stronger portion of Leslie's nature
which required abundant and invigorat
ing food, was slow of development ; the
lighter side flourished in the silent, dull
house, where nothing else courted the
sunbeam. In her childhood and girlhood,
',colic, had gone our, mstivol 7 ancl al
though always somewhat marked and in
dividual in character, she had companions,
friends, sufrivient sympathy and inter
course for an independent, buoyant na
ture at the most phistic period of its ex
istence. The stage of life was but lately
left behind : Leslie had not long learnt
that now she was removed from classes
and masters, and must. in a groat measure
confine her acquaintances to those who
returned her visits'at her father's house ;
and as v'sitors but mamma and papa about,
anti did not suit their habits, she must
resign her little world, and be almost as
quiet and solitary as her elders Leslie
had ju-t begun to sigh a little for the old
thronged, bustling elass-romns, which
she had lightly eiteem d. and was active

Neither did Leslie work fur her father,
because the professor would as soon have
employed her canary bird. She was
thoughtful and pains-taking for the poor.
hucause, though accustomed to a species
of alms-giving, she heard nothing. saw
nothing, of nearer or higher association
with her , leighbors l'et there was ea
pmdly enough in that heart and brain
for good or fin• evil.
So Leslie sat there, pausing in her
sewing, and gazing idly at the sky, with
a gill's quick pensiveness and thick
coniiig fancies.
" flow blue it was yonder: What
glorious clouds'. Yet the world below
was rather stupid and tiresome, and it
was hard to say what people toiled so
arduously fin• There'were other lands

She wished they could go in summer

tweet] lofty purple mountains, such as
she had seen when with Mrs Elliot; papa
might spare a few weeks, as poor people
did; they had no holidays, and it was so
liot and close, and always the same But
she supposed she must be contented, and
go away to cool and compose herself in
the crypt of' their own cathedral. How
grand it was ; how solemn, the aisles and
arches on every side, like forest trees;
and then the monuments! What stories
she invented for them, and St. Mungo's
Well. St. Mungo, austere, yet benefi

red back. and hardest of all, swept and
garnished heart, with his fruitful bles

would St. Mungo think now of the city
of the tree, the fish and the hell?'
This hour, venerable, beautiful feat, of
art was to the imlfrisoiied Glasgow girl
as St. Paul's to such ,another isolated,
imaginative nature.
There was a knock at the street.door,
a very decided application of the queer•
twisted knocker. Leslie roused herself;
nut a beggar's tap that ; none of the
janitors; and this was not Dr. Murdoch
or Dr. Ware's houir ; the' girl was accu
rate in taps and lbotsteps. Some one
was shown in ; a man's voice was heard
greeting " Dr Bower" before the study
door was closed. Leslie started up with
pleased surprise," ieetor Garret of

he will tell us how the country is-look

happy, patient expectation.
Mrs Bower, a lair, faded, grave wo
man, 'Came into the room, and 'sat down
with her needlework in the other window.
"Mamma," exclaimed Leslie, " do you

" No, certainly; Hector (arret and I

" Leslie!"

" I wish you would not, say Hector

conversation dropped.

!lector Garret was particularly struck
this evening with the incongruity of
Leslie's presence in the Protl , ssor's dry,
silent, scholastic hme—her monotonous,
shaded existence, her want of natural
associations, her separation from fitting
companionship. Ile pondered upon her
future ; lie was well aei f nainted with her
prospects; he knew much better than
she did that the money with which his
father had bought up the. mortgages on
Fernilean. and finally the estate itself,
was drained and scattered lung ago, and
that the miserable 'annuity upon Which
the Professor rested peacefully as a pro
vision for his widow and child, died with

in its tendency, though it was but a stu
dent's self' indulgence—the echo of the
mystic, sublime discourses of the Greek
porches. the faint but sacred trace of
march of vast armies, and the fall of na

mete speck in the creation Of course
she would he provided for somehow ;
marry, or make her own livelihood. So:

the fate of Xantippe,: Seneca wrote from
his exile to console his. mother, but the
epistles were fir the benefit of the world
at large, and destined to de end to fu
ture generations of barbarians, ,
What a frank, single-hearted young
girl she scented to Hector Garret--in
telligent, capable of comprehending him
in a _degree, amusing him with her smiles
and suggestions ; pretty, too, as one of
those wild roses or pinks that she prized
so highly, though she wore a sober green,
flowered silk dress—should like to see
her in a white gown. Ile supposed that
was not a convenient town wear. Pope
had unmasked women, but he could not
help thinking that a fresh, simple, kind
young girl would be rather a pleasant
object of daily encounter. She wonld
grow older, of course. • That was a pity;
but still she would be progressing into
an unsophisticated, cordial, contented
woman, whom servants would obey most
heartily—to Whom. children Would cling.
Even men had a gush of tenderness for
theSe smiling, unobtrusive, humble moth

of this life.

Late, too late ill life, they disco ter
their error, and before they reach the

in the days of their boyhood they

Singular Freak of a Lunatic
Has any one noticed the rninature fort
at the top of 131ackwell's Island to the
north of the Lunatic Asylum ? It is the
work of an insane man, who spent half of
his life upon it. He lost his mind in
Mexico, where high privates were in de•

—and fortifications. As he was found to
be quite hopeless and obedient to his
tnanonania, they gave him entrenchment
tools and told him to fortify the, Island.
He took the geographical bearings with
the accuracy of a West Pointer, and con
cluded that if any attack would be made
it would come from the Sound. So he
devised a sea prinst hat(ery with bomb
proor, proached by a ayao wan suiceq
and gates, and mounting heavy ordnance.
There never was a more patient worker
for humanity or patriotism than this poor
addle head. Nobody else being insane
upon the same point he could get no as

oil on the brain, or poetry, or capital pun

as devoted and zealous as he upon their

So the old soldier, with a long sigh and
a brave heart, took up his single shovel

slept and dwe.t, ur company only of

'I he result of all these years is before

A till B-COMNIITTEE of a school board,
not a thousand miles Born the city of
Lynn, were examining a class in a pri

sharpen up their wits, propounded the fol

and should give two-twelfths to John, two
twelfths to Isaac, two-twelfths to Harry,
and would keep half the pie myself, what
would there be left ?" There was a pro

began to quarrel in e truest, "1 will set
