" I should he no good wife to you, Stephen,

Theo Stephen inwardly called himself many
frightful names, of winch unmanly wretch and
brute were the least severe; but he only said
audibly—
" I know it, Margaret—forgive me!" and the
words were hardly out of his mouth, before he
was forgiven, I suppose, for the hand was placed
confidingly in his.

Il folded his arms tightly across his breast,
thinking of her. Then he opened the window
and leant out with some romantic idea that the
wind would waft her breath to bin, and chat the
same moon would look down oa both. He had
not naturally a genius for self torment, quite the
reverse; but in love a man will do such things.

had been implied.
So, being driven from the window by the organ,
he returned and faced his friend the fire watch-
log ring after ring of pale bine smelts ascend,
until ho fell into a sort of doze, then started up,
looked at his watch, got his luggetrts together,
and hurried off in time t) catch the night•train
for Town.
He got into an empty secOtid class' carriage,
placed his carpet bag under his head, spread his
plaid on the seat, stretched•himself out at full
length, and tired in body'and mind, fell asleep,
and woke in London. She sharp morning air,
the murky atmosphere, the huge pile of houses,
broke on his mind as he yawned and shivered
with that unwashed sensation, which a night's
travelling generally leaves. There was not more
time than eufficed to swallow a cup of hot coffee,
and reach the south eastern terminus for the
down train to Folkstone.
A merry little French peasant woman was
waiting there, with her three children, to return
to la belie France. Her coloured handkerchief,
her fine comings, and the foreign appearance of
the party, bad, of course, scoured her the usual
atuount of staring with'whieh Britons always
favor strangers Stephey banded her into the
carriage he intend occupy, and then her
small, dark, black eyed children. At each
station they put their heads out of the window,
and exclaimed in high pitched voices and most
curious accent, "How far is it from London,
portair?" Either their thirst for knowledge was
insatiable, or they only understood the questien,
and nut the answer, for they repeated the experi
ment at every opportunity, to the intense delight
of the guards The little vivacious woman chat
ted away to Stephen; she 4old him all her history,
why she had been to England, bow she had found
the people kind, but sad; and not only ignorant.,
but nutted:table in matters of the cuisine.
A sallow, lank gentleman, who sat opposite,
suddenly directed a small stream of tobacco-juice
oat of the window, managing with exquisite
doxtcrity to avoid Selion's nose by a hair's
breadth. Sellon looked up with an ireful ex
pression

vim-a vim.
" think you not to du it again," returned

•D you practis, spitting, ale"-
Stephen still in wrath: "Not so pear people's
fart'
,‘ Well, now,' rejoined the passenger, who
was au American, "I calculate I can paste a fly
four yards."
•' Throe days from that time Stephen was at
larseillcs, and was engaged there at seaman's
wages, to work under the engineer in the Penin'
sular and Oriental steamship A,va It sailed,
and lie sped on his way; if his heart was heavy,
spirit was good; his belief in Margaret's Nitta:
fu:ness was very considerable: his belief in his
own was amazingly firm.
It was perhaps a dosen years after this that a
lady, warmly clad in silks and furs, walked down
th e principal street of Weadon one winter's day.
She carried a smal - Proll of music under her cloak,
and stopped at one of the large cloistered houses
that flanked the cathedral in their well-bred
glooM and stillness. She nag tbe bell, and was
quickly admitted into the drawing-room. She
opened her music, laid aside her wrappings, and
revealed the face of Margaret Meriton• Full,
gay, handsome, and careless, with a bewitching
drollery about the mouth, and a rather masterful
eye. Presently, the door was opened, and a tall
and wilful•looking girl, with a pair of Bashing
blue eyes, almost ran in. She would have em
braced Margaret on the spot, but the latter
drowned the effort in her own significant way:
she laid her band on tbe r ung lady's shoulder;
raying--•
Well, Cecile, bow is the voice, and how have
you progressed with the song?"
4. 0; Miss Meriton, papa says I ant hoarse,
and that I have a cold; bat let me try.",,.
For myself, I think it an undoubted fact that
school-girls pay greater attention to lessons re
eeived from master than from their own sea; and
I wake no question that, when the enlightened
and plantonic nature of the age admits of youths
being instructed byfeniale professors, the converse
of the propositiou will bold good. At the same
time, there is another fact to be placed against
this, and that is, that .a woman of a eertsin age,
who has seltoontrol, and has cultivated her
powers of fascination, can, if she chooses to do
it, acquire an influence over young girls which
almost amounts to idolatry oa the one side, and
against which even a lover can hardly hold his
OWD.
So, Margaret Menton, who liked to be 'Aerat
ing, and was necessitated in her character as
musiegescher to eschew flirting, made herself
particularly charming to her pupils, who all
adored her after the fashion of young girls. We
may also suppose, if we like, that she thought a
little of poor Stephen, and for his sake did - not
wish to loom her skill in the art of being delight
ful for want of practice. So the two at down
and proceeded very amicably for some time.
At last the fantasy seised Margaret that Miss
Vereker should repeat a certainP a given
, number of timesois a penalty for l in l Yling short
in the mode of performing it The young
spirit did not bear this burden very meekly ;
first her pride rose, then mortification did battle
with- pride, sad lastly, the spirit of sullenness
descended, sad utterly paralysed Miss Vereker's
vocal powers. A decidetlimase ensued. Mar.

fell on her ear, turned round, and met snob a
blaze of indignation on the pretty face as (we

The song was finished, and both came back to
realities. Margaret did not eare about conquer.
ing herself, but was wondrously fond of eciaquer
ing other people; so she devoted an instant to
Miss Vereker, and having ascertained by an al
most imperceptible glance that young lady's
state of mind, she proceeded to apply the actual
cautery.
She took the song and gave it tfer, saying
very sadly—
" Until to-day, I always sang that song with
pleasure, Cecile, but you have )lined to it a less
pleasaet memory ; I hope you will like it better
from this time than I shall ;" and she Afoot over
it, and with her pencil wrote on the margin,
Revolts ; Cecile Vereker gave a convulsive gulp;
but, before she could utter the words of contri
tion which hung on her lips, a ,youth of seven
teen years the facsimile of his sister, entered
hastily.
"May I ace you home, Miss Merit*, ? I
have stayed in on purpose," he added, in a boy
ish pleading manner.
Margaret was arranging her shawl round her
shoulders, and she did tls very deliberately,
bending down her bead, while an amused smile
played about her lips. Meanwhile the boy eyed
her as if he longed to assist her, but refrained,
lest he should meet with a repulse. Possibly
some memory of former rejections aided his ap•
parent moderation. Then she looked up, and
gave him her band.
"No, I thank ynu, young George; a poor
music-mistress hardly needs an escort. Good
night, Cecile."
The }ad'followed her to the door with a pro
voked look on his handsome-young face. !dare
say that young George grated on his ears. Re
returned to his sister, and regarded the fire.
"She is too handsome to walk alone. I wish
I were a man, Cis, and thee I would merry
her."
This new view made Cis deliberate a little.
The result was favorable.
"That would be very nice, George, sad then
I need pot take any more aineng lessons of her
--at least, unless I liked the songs particularly,"
she added, as her eye fell on the word Revolts.,
Margaret gave two more lessons on her rosii,
and then walked quickly home, and safely too,
in spite of young George's fears.
Iler father, a poor gentlemen in the first in
stance, became poorer still ; an amateur musi
cian, he was reduced to make his pleasure min
ister to his necessity. His health as we know,
failed him more than his fortune; for as Marga
ret had said, so she had done, and in the matter
of a daughter be was declfiely a much to be ea•
vied man When she returned, ho was
in his chair by the fire, thinking long of her, as
the Scotch sly; in her eyes Jae looked, each time
she came back, were gentle, feeble, and shadowy

aptly awl pleasantly, as was her wont.
In quickly told tales like this there is no room,
as there is no need, to detail the course of each
day which went to make up her life. Margaret
Meriton was fast growing rich. I don't mean
that she had amassed landed property, bat she
had for many years been liable to the income tax
(all English hearts will feel for her and with her
in this respect.) Work was a law and necessity,
btft site did her work easily; it suited her—yet,
in spite of it, she grew happier, handsomer, and
stouter; she was not a•weary 4tecause he ;IMO
not; and, indeed, presented no resemblance to
the Mariana of the bloated 'Grange.
Ten years from the time we last portrayed her
she entered her fortieth year. It was a winter
evening ; there had been a driving shower of
sleet and snow, with a keen, bitter, north wind;
the foot passengers in the street were whipped,
blinded, and at last cowed by it, and retreated In
v their honave: the honseless poor betook them
selves to alleys and doorways for, shelter. The
skies were sullen and lowering, 'and a dense mass
of pale grey to the north-west afforded every
prospect of more rough weather. Ido not thitrk
anyone could look more comfortable or h andsomer
than Margaret lleriton, as she sat making the
hot coffee in the snug study, clad in rich gar
ments of sober hue, as befitted her age and parse.
Her father was still alive, and was seated in the
self same chair. Ills bead was very white, and
quite bowed on his breast, and his long thin fin
gers beat time restlessly. She spoke only a few
words to him now and then, and they were 0111-
missing, and such as might have been used to a
child
At last she settled herself in her own lounging
chair, cat open a new book, and was soon &ep
in it. Ailhdually the new book found its resting
place en the floor, sod Margaret reposed calmly.
There was a rambling of carriage-wheels elese to
the house, and then a halt. But there was no
magnetism in the air to warn Margaret of - any
one beim near her, more than that gentle sha
dowy man whom she had tended for so many
years. Then a footstep in the hall, and hand
on the door Even the seven sleepers awakened
at last, and when the door opened Margaret
started to her feet, fully prepared to deny that
she had been otherwise than wide awake. She
heard a deep voice say, "I know the way," then
came a face bronied fiery red, full blue eyes,
not
altogether strange to Margaret—at least she had
seen such iu her dreams—a mass of hair, board,
moustache, and, whiskers of a hue which was
pate only beside the face. All this surmounted
a figure huge in every way; especially in breadth.
Margaret steed wondering—and the figure stood
wondering also. Like the Ancient Mariner, "he
fixed het: with his glittering eye," and as he per
formed thisroporaticin he drew of wrapping after
wrapping, and at length stood oonfosed as Ste.
phen Senora, weighing at least sixteen stone. He
was not a tell man, so appeezanees ffia not oboist
him on that score. Then the blue eyes danoed
with amusement, the white teeth showed them
selves, and a hearty, full, sonorous litngh broke
the ice. !
"Margaret, do you not know me?" He step
ped forward, and kissed her, at first lightly on
her cheeks, and then putting her back, with ano•
tier glares and another busgh be followed up
that kiss - by many others, and t hey came so fast

"I can alwxys tell the mother by the boy.—
The urchin who drawtback with doubled Bata
and binges at his playmate if he looks at bins
askance, hams very questionable mother. She
may feed him and clothe him, cram him with
sweetmeats and coax him• with promises, but if
she gate mad she fights. She will pall him by
the jacket, she will give him a knock on the
back, she will drag him by the Bair, she will
call him all sorts of.wicked names, while passion
plays over tier face in lambent flames that ourl
and writhe out of the corners of her eyes.
"And we never see the courteous little' fellow
with smooth looks and gentle manners—in whom
delicacy does not detract from courage and man
liness, but we say, 'that boy's mother is a true
lady.' Her words and ways are soft, loving and
quiet If she reproves, her language is *my
son'—not 'you little wretch'—'plague of my life'
torment'—'you scoop.'
"She hovers before him as a pillar of light
before the wandering Israelites, and her beams
are reflected in his face. To him the word
mother is synonymous with everything pare,
sweet and
beautiful. Is he an artist ? In after
the face that with holy rsdienoe shines on
his canvass, will be the mother's face. Who
ever flits across his path with

soft, low voice, will bring his mother's , *

rant, with a tongue sharper than a two.edged
sword, and remembering the brawling and the

for a few short years, when he wears the widow: .
