Her constancy and patient endurance, under a
thousand privations, was wonderful
I was reckoned a very pretty girl; and the
neighbors said so, and 1 thought so myself.—
They were sorry for our altered eireumstatioes
They respected my mother; and, though they
blamed my father, they pitied him as well as
blamed—(he had been a general favorite before
be became lost to himself and us)—and did all
iu their power to assist my mother in her dis
tress. One of these sympathising friends was
the dressmaker employed by the great lady of
the parish. This woman got me into service as
waiting-maid to the young ladies of the Grange
Miss Elinor Widmer was on the eve of mar
riage with Mr. Carlos; and she used to talk to
me a great deal about her lover, while I was dres
sing her hair of a night. "He was so handsome,
she said, "so good natured and merry. He
danced and sang so well, rode 8J pliantly, and
was such a capital shot. He was admired sad
courted by all the ladies; sad she consideml
betself the moat fortunate girl in the world to
have secured the affections of such a charming
young man. And then, Annie, besides all those
advantages of person and manners, he is so rich
—so immensely rich, he can indulge me is my
taste for pictures, and books, and dress, without
ruining himself. Oh, I shall be so happy—so
happy: and then she would clap her Uwe white
hands and laugh in childish gise. And very
young she was, and very pretty too;--not a
showy sort of beauty, but soft and gentle,--not
gay and dashing, like some of her elder sisters.
They were all engaged to men of rank and fash
ion; and they laughed at Miss Miner for saarry
, log an untitled man. But she was so math in
love with Mr. Carlos, that she was as happy as a
lark.
When I saw Mr. Carlos, I thought she was,
indeed, a fortunate young lady; end I °oald not
help envying her the handsome rieh lover who
was so soon to make her his bride.
I always liked waiting on my pretty young
lady; but I felt a double pleasure in doing so
when Mr. Carlos was by. He often joked Mi
Elinor on 7 1 = looks, and would ask her "if
she wan sot • of her pretty nulling-maid ?"

But I did look at Mr. Cotton He was very
attentive to me, and I soon thought him all that'
his master had said he was. I did not love him,
but I foolishly imagined that it was a he thing
to have a sweetheart, and to be married, like my
young mistress. And Noah Cotton was a farm
er's son, and better educated than most people
in our class. He had a good place, and was a
great favorite of his master, and could afford to
keep me- very comfortably So, when he told
me theeihe preferred me to all the girls be had
ever seen, and asked me to marry him, I said
that I would cowl& my mistress, and, if she ap
proved of it, I had not the least objection. Miss
Elinor was enchanted with it. She said it would
be capital; that we should be married on the
same dap, with her and Mr. Cur!oh; that she
would buy my wedding-suit, and the Squire
would pay the parson the foes; and that we
should go with them abroad, in the same capaci
ty we then held.

And it took place as she proimised I was
dressed in white muslin, triouneil with white rib
bons, and just one moss rose-buil:t u my bosom,
and another in my hair. .Nliss Elhinor put them
in herself; and then, 'when I was dressed, she
took my hands in herr, and turned we all round,
to see that all war neat and niee, and she kissed
my forehead, and said that I looked ch.oniing—
that any wan might be proud of such a little
wife; and she called her own bridegroom into her
dressing-room, to cotne and look at me heron.

Carlos seemed quite struck with my ap
pearsuce, and declared "that 1 looked as hand
some as my mistress—that Noah was a vett for
tunate fellow; and if he had not been T.,
marry his own dear Elinor, he would hart• mar

cruel treatment, but. she always excii-ed
and said that it was I that was to blame; that I
made crimes out of every little freak of temper,
and that instead of conciliating my husband. I
made the breach wider by insults and reproaches,
and took no pains to please him; that dalee wets
to behave in the same way to Mr Carlo-, she
would not wonder at his disliking her
These observations wounded my pride I
thought them cruel and unjust, and I left her
room in tears. Mr. Carlos met me on the stairs.
I was crying bitterly, partly out uf anger, and
partly in the hope of making iny itiedre•km mirry.4
for what she had maul
lie asked me what grieved me so, and I told
him how I had been treated by Noah, and des
cribed in exaggerated terms the reproof I had got
from his wife: Mr. Carlos I inched my cheek
and told me to dry my eyes, for crying spoilt my
beauty; and not to care for what Noah or my
mistress said 'to me; that be was my friend, awl
loved and respected me too much to .ttfier we to
be ill-used
I felt proud of my master's sympathy, and
lost no opportunity to increase it, and attract 1114
attention. You may guess, my son, how all this
aide& My master conceived a violent passion
for me, which I was out slow in returning, and
we carried on our intimacy with such circumspec
tion, that for two pearl it escaped the vigilant
eyes of my husband, and the fretful jealousy of
my mistress. The fear of detection made me ve
ry cautious in the presence of my mistress, and
more distant and respectful to Mr Carlos, while
I bore with apparent patience and resignation the
ill-humor of my now detested husband. For the
above-named period, both were deceived, and it
was during this season of crime and hypocrisy
that you, my son, were born. The startling re
semblance you bore to your real father did not
escape my husband'sobservation, and called forth
some of his bitterest remarks.
I, for my part, swore that the child was the
image of him; and in order to lull his suspicions,
conferred upon it the odious and hated name of
Noah.
My mistress often visited my chamber during
my confinement. Once, she brought Mr. Carlos
with her to see the baby. "It is a beautiful lit
tle cherub:" he cried, kissing it with all his heart
in his eyes, "the picture of Annie."
"You will laugh at me Walter," said my mis
tress gravely, "but I think Ate child is so like
you."
She looked him sternly in the face as she said
this. I thought be would have to let the babe
drop, he did so stammer and color as be tried to
laugh her words off aria good joke. As to me,
my bee burnt like fire , and I drew up the bed
clothes in order to conceal: it. She looked first
at me, and thee at Mr. Verisa. There needed
no further witness of oar guilt We were both
coaricied by ooascieuee, yet boldly cudeavored
to Jost ladifferetice."
"1 see how it is," she said, bursting iota tears,
"you have both cruelly wronged as. Yet, for
this poor babe's sake, I pray Gnd to forgive you."
She kissed the infest with vest tenderness,
(she smog had owe of her own,) laid it in the
bed beside as, and 'Withdrew in team My heart

to my pillow and hissing the words into my ear

called by my name, to add insult to injury. I
could kill both you and it, did I not know that

•'Fie was true to his word. He left me with

My mother ceased speaking, and sat with her
hands folded complacently in her lap, and I glared
upon her for some time in gloomy silence. She
appeared tranquil, scarcely casseious of amanita
she had committed. Was she not a murderer,
with only this difference, that I had struck my
victim sudden and quickly, she had tortured hers
for two whole years, until she sank broken-heart
ed into an early grave; and had not her sin been
the parent of my own? Then I thought of her
husband's terrible curse, "May that child live to
be your punishment'." Was not the fearful pre
diction already fulfilled, although she was igno
rant of it? I cannot say that T felt glad that she
was no better than her sou, bat it seemed a pal
liation of my own guilt.
My mother wax annoyed by my long silence
What are you thinking about, Noah?"
"The shocking story you have just told me I
did not think it possible, mother, that you could
he so bad."
"What do you mean?" she cried out angrily.
"I mean what I say. If this story does not
lower you in your own eyes, it does in mine.—
Mother, I have always respected and venerated
you till this moment; I can do so no longer. For,
mark me mother, as the tree is, so is the fruit.
How can you expect me, the offspring of such
guilt, ever to be a good wan?
"Noah, this is strange languagefrom you.—
Thank God! you have done no thing at present
to cause me shame or reproach."
"You dou't know what I have dale—what this
confession of yours may tempt me to do. God
knows, I would rather have been the sou of the
despised and injured man whose name I bear,
than the bastard of the silken reprobate it was
your shame to love."
"Oh, Noah! do not speak thus of your own
father."
"Curse hiu4 He ball already met : with his

She looked so piteous through her tears, that,

sighed, "I fovve you, my poor mother. I would

At may rate, I feared and hated her, and wished

Ferinestely for me, she heard of a situation

the mesas to transport herself and her little

Millaprotest to the poor widow. But Sir

fact.
When I left lay bed, I found my mother gli

former self. Her beautiful aubura hair, of
which she was so proud, sad which, when a boy,
I used to a.datirr so 'nook in ha gloomy bands,
