Her voice, though silent, yet is sweetly heard Farah streamine from the tearful morning bird, Pouring its mellow strains on Nature's ear, Which oft the early rambler stops to hear. Sweet odours still her beauteous course attend That fragrance far around her pathway send ; inviting all from slumbers to awake.

Who should be first Creation's God to praise. And first of all a morning song to raise? It should be man—but man has yet to learn To let his heart with early fervour burn To "Nature's God," by whose sole power he lives, Anil from whose hand all blessings he receives. Yea man, the noblest of all Nature's birth, Must yet a lesson learn from meaner earth. From those he far beneath himself sloth deem And, in his view, of small importance seem, Ere his dull eyes the morning's coming see, The warbling bird sings gaily from the tree, Now mounts the air on swift elastic wing And tastes the breezes that from morning spring.

Vll 1110 a).-b0T.,D1)7.C0 FEOII THE LADV'. BOOK. ALTHEA VERNON; on THE EMBROIDERED HANDKERCHIEF [CONTINITF.I) FltoM O(1 LAST] Sztraintin was waiting to offer our heroine his arm to the hall-room; Lansing gave his to his cousin Julia; and ten or twelve gentlemen were all in readiness to present themselves, for that pur pose, to Miss De Vincy. They were not aware that she twos there already; having gone in quietly with Mr. and Mrs. Edmunds, among the earliest of the company. On their entrance, she made a sign to the Dimsdale party, who immediately joined hers. Miss Dc Viney was neither arrayed in blond lace nor in dark chintz. She wore a black silk dress, so superior in quality and in make that the ladies pronounced it at once to he of gen nine Paris origin. A tucker of the finest ni,s e htin was drawn round her beautiful neck; and the sleeves, which were short and full. terminated in a similar trimming. Her hair, simply and gracefully arranged, had no other ornament than a pearl comb. The Conroys, as usual, were attired in high fashion; every thing on them , being very ex pensive, and of tbe Nest mode. Mrs. Vandunder was habited in a fawnish coloured silk, with green and red sprigs; and a lace pelcrine, with furbelows on the shoulders that stood out like wings. On her head was a thing of blond and wire, peaked up at the top, and look ing very much like a fool's-cap, with lappets °par ticularly lone and wide," descending from the lofty crown and hanging far down her hack; a broad full border flaring round her broad full face; and the whole bedecked with a profusion of straw coloured ribbons and yellow flowers, which nei ther matched nor contrasted the colour of tier gown. She wore such a profusion of heavy jew ellery that no one could believe the gold and gems to ho real; each arm, for instance, being encircled with three different sorts of bracelets. Wallichnina Vandunder shone forth in a flow ered satin of a full blue colour, decorated with various elaborate arabesques of what the dress makers call piping., and flounced with blend on skirt, sleeves, and corsage. Her mother had been present at the building of Wilitelmina's coiffure, and had outraged the taste and jeopardized the reputation of Mr. Pussedu by compelling him to load the superstructure of curls and braids with a profusion of flowers, marabout feathers, and gold cable; not to mention the ribbons that festooned her heavy car-locks, which were divided into in numerable plats, so small as to resemble hairs of marvellous coarseness. But the crowning misery of poor Wilbelmina was a pair of silk stockings embroidered with gold thread, which Mr. Vandun der had brought her from the city, and which scratched so intolerably her unfortunate feet as to add greatly to their usnaltrufferings. In her band she carried a corresponding handkerchief sirigged and bordered with gold a la Turque, being one from a case that had been opened in New York for the first time on that very day. Sir Tiddering Tattersall entered the ball-room at a late hour. in a new evening dress which he had brought from London. It was a very tight black coat, with sleeves far above his wrists, about which appearnd en abundance of rallies; extreme- ly light and short black pantaloons; speckled silk stockings; pumps with amazingly long toes, and the shortest possible crimson waistcoat, havin g three chains disposed about it. His hands were cased in flesh-coloured kid gloves; he carried an opera hat and a cane; and to all the heir of his head and face the curling-tongs had given a turn upwards, which made him look like quite another sort of ariirnal. Ile directly - levelled his eye-glass at the female Vandundera, and observing their superabundance of trinkets., said to the young men near him—oSamke Birmingham." The ball resembled all other kills at watering places. It was highly enjoyed by the young la (lies who had 14,4)4 of partners, and not much by those that failed in these valuable acquisitions.— The gentlemen found so many charms in the con versation of Nlisa De Vincy that they almost for got to invite her to dance; and to her it was a matter of no moment whether she (lanced or not. Lansing had the honour of being her first partner, and she went through the cotillion, BY She did eve ry thing else, with an easy elegance alike remote from the elaborate performance. of a proles ,, ed Terpsichorean, and the air. OM no,trhatorce which is now assort's() by many of our young ladies a lien they asse.ale for the ostensible purpose of engag ing in a lively and graceful The ip;ritle nines!. of Julia Dintsdale brought her many parterre. Althea looked beautifully in her white crape and white roses. and entered into the amusement of the eve g with so much grace ■nd animation, that Selfridge, more enamoure d than ever, would gladly have danced every set with her. But there were so - inarre other as k news to her hand that his chance of obtaining it occur red far less frequently than lie desired. A set having been recently ft:Asked, the-gentle men who wished to dance the nest went in que-t of partners, and those that did not collected in groups to talk their own talk, or to discuss the la dies. And many unadmired damsels. that had hitherto been allowed to sit still, were now taking the opportunity of crossing the room, in hopes that a change of position might produce a change of luck. ..Saure qui prat!"—said Sir Tiddering -Here come the Conroy..," these yOIITIC Indies approached, preceded by their father andmother; Mr. Conroy, fOT the purpose of bemg present at the ball, having accompanied his ntfe on her re turn from the city. The young rum made n gene ral movement of retreat, and some who were ac quainted with these ladies, confusedly turned their hacks, as if to rivoil being seen by them.— Sir Tioldering.hou ever, turned his face: impodent ly surveying them throu,ili his lorgnette: %chile the Miss Convoys reddened as they pa. , ed. and their eves gleamed resentfully. “Firri ffrias!"— said Billy Vandontler, ..how anz.r.,- they look! i ,oppose _sa I happen to he hand in glovo with Phehe, I ,)im expected to do the gentechand danec with her reign lea r;ggkA."

Some of the young men began to walk off; while others remained, enticed to soy by a wink nod a back-handed twitch from Sir Tiddcring. accom panied with a significant glance towards the old lady and her daughter. .-Don't you dauncel - - said he to Nliss Van:hinder. Wilhelmina looked fearfully at her mother, who quickly answered for her. "To he sure she does. lie r dancing-meter's hills cost me a matter of a hundred dallars.

"I don't know what you mean by dancing at almanacks," retorted Mrs. Vandunder. warmly ..but I should like to ask what's the use of people that are young or younei , h, going to balls if they Jo nothing but stand about or set still all the time!" "Very true, madam." replied Sir 'ridded:lg with mock gravity; "it's vausly coolish in them." aro be sure," proceeded the old lady, "for what I can see, there's very little fun in most of the dancing that done now-a-days. We all know that it'. as well to be out of the world as out of the fashion; and for them that has the means, it's their bounden duty to show what they are. I would not wish it mentioned again, (as coming from me,) but there's a great deal in fashion that's pretty hard to swallow; (here Wilhelmina sighed audi bly;) and a great deal that don't seem to have no earthly sense nor meaning." "Unquestionably madam," said Sir Ti Merino. sententiously, "your opinions are perfe , :tly 'Ti. really quite refreshing to hear some improv ing conversation." "All changes is not for the better," continued Mrs. Vandunder, "there's my Billy now—be used to clap his hands, and hopaeray like all the world, and swing his pallier, snit bounce up high and knock his feet together two or three times before he mine down again. But now he hardly lifts them from the floor; but goes sawing about,' and sideling through the figure, giving the tip _of his finger to the ladies, and looking all the time as grave as a judge." "Exactly so," said Sir Tiddering, "you are quite strong, madam, on the subject of dauncing. I cannot say that I am at all partial to that tarring and sideling." "However," resumed Mrs. Venda:l(ler, "any sort's better than none; for it brings peoph• togeth er, and gets them acquaintstl. Of course it can't I be expected that young ladies should dance when they an't asked; as eyery body knows they can't! at diemenlyscr “Donbtless they cannot,” said S r Tiddering •there is much point in the remark." "And I must say," she continued, "that it's rather hard for a young lady that's gone to the expense of as high a priced frock and trimmings as any in the room, awl had her hair dre . Psed by a Frenchman in a horse and gig, to ha pasted by and overlooked by Tom, Dick, and Harry." s'\+ - ho are those gentlemen You speak of?" asked Sir Tidderinz "I beg your pardon, madam hut if you will give me their simaines, I shall cer tainly call them to account Co. their want of gal lantry. Now that I am in America I have seri ous thoughts of doing us Rome dues, and deferring to the ladies." •shatter late than never," remarked Mrs, Van• dustier, "if inking them to dance is what y-ou mean. lee u pretty heavy job to edieate and tires; and being out a girl; and w,.en it's done, it'o-rea ,4anable to expert that something should coma of it; especially when there's a full pocket into the bargain. To be cure people that has plenty and oeeatis of plenty need hot begrudge nothing; as Bify often tells me: but still nobody liken to pay too dear for their whiiile." "Certainly madam," said Sir Thldering, owhis des should never he et - J.4oy. IJo not recollect having given more than sixpence fo r any of mine; but the price may have risen since I was a boy. What did you Aar was the young lady's fortune, the lady to whom, I presume, you are alludingt" The young men behind, almost started at his effrontery. "Why a clear hundred thousand," answered the old lady, sharply, "there's no use in mincing the matter." “Not the least,” said Sir Tiddering, wiping his gla. , es with his handkerchief. tit seldom mince, dollars or pounds did you say!" "Why,dollars to lie sure! Who talks of pounds here in our country—they're as old as the old war, and older too." Sir Tiddering having taken a stedfastsurvoy of Wilhelatina through his lorgnette, mattered to himself—"No matter. lam net at Almack'a," and then stiffly held out his little linger. "It will give me monstrous pleasure," said he, "to walk the next dance with you." The fice of Mrs. Vandunder now shone with delight: hut Williclmina looked piteously towards her mother, who frowned and motioned her into compliance. "Sir, you are very p, lite," said the old I:4(ly—smiling and curtsying to l'3ir Tiddering. "I have heard that English people when they come to America are apt to leave their manners behind•thcrhut secing's believing—and I must fray that your behaviour is remarkable genteel ". "You are also strong, msdam, on the subject of gentility," remarked Sit Tiddering. "Yes sir," replied Mrs. V andunder, "it's n thing that behooves every one t' study that has where withal to support it. There now—the fiddles is tuning, and it's time to take your places." "I wish my servant was at hand," said Sir Tid denng, "that I might Fend him to secure those saw peaces. nut fr must go usyrocte.-10-. strew: tiresome!" So saying,he lounged oftfollow ed by several of the young men, who hating ed all audible laughter during his dialogue with Nfrs.

In the meantime Mrs. Vamluntler and her (laugh ter had Feated themselves near the place in which Sir Tiddering had left them; the old lady angely observing "that it was as cheap sitting as stand ing." she exclaimed—her face redolent of over-satisfaction—"tack's come at hint."

"What signi ties all the money I lay out on your dress, if I'm always to be made ashamed of your behaviour.— I wish I had sent you to school to Mrs. Mantrap.

Mrs. Vandunder looked afterthem delightedly; and then, highly elated, made the hest cf her way to Mrs. Conroy, whom she saluted with the discovery: "How much the English im prove on acquaintance!"
