Oh, Maud and Madge, dream on together, With never a pang of jealous fear!

' But hurry on 'dear, it is ours no longer. Hold your shawl tight about your chest—this wind is very cold." They- were meanly clad—both mother and daughter. The mother was past for ty a few years, the daughter not yet sev enteen. Annie Low was not beautiful, I nevertheless, her face - was a rare blending of amiability and intellect. They passed. quickly along over the well trodden.snolv, and vended their way toward one of the lower quarters of the city.

"Oh yes, niadam," . said the man behind the . counter, ."we .have plenty of shirts now. Shall - 1 gyve you a bundle ? " and cast a glance, half impertinence half ad miration; towards the young girl. " What are your prices ?" asked - Mrs. Bartlet. - " Well you - know- we generally give a shilling a shirt.to common customers, but as it's you, you know, why I thinli_Artfill pa3i_ two shillings. Shan't I take -it home for you? It's a heavy bundle, too niuch for you to carry." The widow hesitated. She had done sewing for this man before, but she did not like the way in which lie looked at her daughter. A. mother's heart- takes alarm at a hint, a question or a glance: Antiie was too precious to 'be exposed to rudeness; She was the orie, the• only fair child of a widoWed heart—but the bun dle was too heavy for either mother or daughter, so she concluded to let it be brought. . . You can send it to us .by-and-by," said she. . • " 0, I can't get anybody to take it—l must go myself. No inconvenience, I as sure-you—right on my way to . snpper.— Missi wish I could offer you one of my arms," he said, "but they happen to be both full." • , They xv - alked on, till they came to a very ordinary looking house, whose steps were covered with children. - -The man smiled. to hiMself as they ascended the steps. . I will take the bundle now," said she with dignity. • • .. . - " 0 no ma'am ; couldn't consent to let you carry it," said 'the man, "I'll take it to your room." '- . " Put the bundle down," said-she with flashing eyes. The man . started and nearly let it drop. However; he threw it with an impatient curse, on the lower-stair, and turned mid left•the ball. . " What made you speak so crossly," asked Anuic. "Never mind, child. Help me up stairs with it," said the widow, recover ing her equanimity. • She had seen the tailor wink across the entry to a vulgar lookinf , man, who came out from a room near 15:v, whose reputation was none of the best. - .• • "0 dear." It was said very bitterly, and with a. heart ache, as mother and daughter enter their own neat room, an attic; lighted from . the ceiling. "It seems strange, dosn't it ?" mused Annie; looking round. • • " What seems strange, darling," asked her mother. " That you should have lived and I have been born in that..great beautiful .house, and after all be reduced to the garret of such a place as this," replied Annie. " Who lives. there now ?" "Yon have heard me say before, child," replied her mother—"your Uncle . Harry-, and your cousin Eugenio. Your uncle Harry, your father's brother. married my sister—poor Annie (you are named for her,) °she died before your father did, or we should nut ).o snaring in penury, or be forced - to take insults from our infe- iors." "Well it is home," said 'the young girl, gazing round, "and not so bad a one either. "Now, it we can get those shirts done —why, we can buy a beautiful thick shawl to wear between us. Shall I make sothe tea to-night?" "Yes, if yob. please," said the mother : sitting wearily down, "I'll undo the bun dle and sort the work." ' " - Robert Southey, you are always stand up: before that pieture."- So cried a beautiful, high• bred girl, as she entered the. splendid reception-room where stood the young man, gazing upon a sylph-like figure, enclosdd within a mass ive frame. Young Southey- turned around hastily —a rarely intellectual face wag his‘,--and greeted the girl with a smile. " I cannot help admiring that pi'dure," he said, "it has a fascination for me which I eannot a explain to.myself. Is there an original,.or is it one of those gentle dream faces that artists sometimes fashion, when under the inspiration of heaven ?" • .1 " 0, it's no dream face," said Eugenie, lightly, "but a cousin of mine, I lielteve —that is, I have heard papa say so. She is living now I •believe„but dear me, they are dreadful common sort of people." • - " They ? " queried he. mean my aunt and cousin. They are in reduced circumstances,. and T. un derstood that Annie had . got so far down that she takes in work at the shops. You smile, and I suppose you think I ought to know more about them, but I assure you it was not my fault. .Ever since they would not consent to make it their home here,- papa has forbidden me to have any thing to do with them." . "But why -did they not - stay ?"• asked Robert. • " 0, they had some foolish notions of indevendeuee—said they would not live on the bounty of those who had robbed them, and many other impertinent things. I wonder papa was so patient with them"! I am sure be couldn't help it if it - was their home once, you linow, if his brother willed it to him." • . , -"So, so—," said Robert Southey, And his fine eyes roved, again to the portrait. The noble face seemed lighted up with a trusting smile, ass he gazed, and yet; it. was but a child's face- 7 -a child of only seven years. " B.oii old is that cousin by this time?" lie asked 'carelessly. ' '• " 0, about my age. : 'I assure you she is a very plain looking girl. . The painter idealized that face." . . _Eugenie •Bartlet *as both vain and heartless, and had not even it enou;gli to . conceal either defect: She had - fan cied that she loved, more than, once, but never till the poet face of Robert Southefy met her vision,. had she in.reality kno the true meaning of the Much used, m ch abused word. .Slie fancied flint her be ty Was irresistible—it was to some but not to him. Ile liked to, call th because he often Met Mr. Bartlet, . was a liberal patron of the arts, a g scholar and an - interesting conversati alist, but for 'the handsome daughter he had nothing more than friendship— scarcely that. She however, fancied that he was pi 'Wrested in ber—nay, that he - was despe rately enamored of her charms, and did not dream that be sought for heart,;not beauty, mind, nor. wealth. "How long .did they occupy here?" asked he. • "0, till she Was seven--in fact that picture. was - taken the year my Uncle died. There _was a great time about the Will, and when she found it was really in Ifa vor of my father, the ividoW left .- the house: and went . West, where she has resided until within a few . years. When they .cainc back father offered them a bine, but they refused. To tell the truth, I was not sorry, for Illiought ,!my cousin was a • gawky. How could, it! be otherwise ?—no boarding-school Isuppose her .mother must have beenbeen her teacher, but-dear me, she eau% know much:". Robert Southey glanced at the spiak;' er with a look she would not have rehsh:- hd, had she noticed it. .Fertunately• l ler eyes were cast down. "" Do let us change the sribject,'...aid Eugenie with a little start of impatience. "What did you think of Guardaliue (last night ?• - Wasn't he superb ? • I poSitive ndored him—for the time, I Mean. • Robert Southey seemed quite indiffer cut whether She adored him for the ihne or for all time, and replied to her arch ook with-a quiet almost contemptuous smile. " The ' Barber of Seville,' is I think the most charming of operas," . continued Eugenie," " - doift, you ?" " On the - contrary, I dislike it the inost,"• replied Robert Southey., • • "o,is it possible ? Why,. everybody goes iu raptures over it," replied Eugenie: ✓ "I don't -agree with everybody then," he said quietly. "I have but little sym pathy with everybody." She looked as it she did not know how to take this declaration, and it annoyed her to see his eyes again wandering to the portrait. "I'll take it down and burn it," she angrily ejaculated to herself. ° • - After a few more common-places, Rob ert Southey took his leave. : He walked about Until it was quite twi light, and then* remembered an errand in, another part of the city, he retraced his steps. Wds. it .his - guardian angel that prompted kite? •- He had nearly reached the place towards which his stops were . bent, when. he felt a light, touch- on hiS arm. • 11 - e looked down: There - was the face of the Portrait, only more nature—much sweeter .in ex pression. His heart beat as it had never beat before. „ " May•l ask your protection ?"- said a sweet voice—" some one has followed me and spoken to me more than once, and I—" the lip treinbled,. the eloquent eyes swam in tears: "'Certainly I will protect you." said Robert, drawing her hank within his arm —" and as to that- scoundrel, over there, I know him—he should he chastised as he deserveS. He will be before long if he is not careful." * • .. . The man met liisOye and skulked along a back street. It was Morely,-the keeper of the slop-shop.. "I should not have been Out- alone et such an hour, but my , mother needed medi cine," she said, as they ivaiked•-along. The fair girl. trembled excessively.. • They moved rapidly away, till they came to the miserable building where lived-An nie and her mother. Annie's cheek burn ed as the - young man ascended the steps and ripened the door for her. There Were, loud and disagreeable sounds up 'stairs, the entry was dark, and poor Annie stood hesitating. - - "They are very noisy and quarrelsome, some of the families' in the rooms," she said,. timidly. "Stop a moment," ejaculated :Robert Southey. And lie knocked, quickly at one oflthe doors. "Lend me a light to show this woman up stairs," he said to the woman who appeared. The: occupant or the room hurried to light another candle. As she . gave - it to him he.placed 'a : piece of money in her hand 4 , hieb she was nothing loth to take Handldesiring Annie to follow . him,. the voun!rithan went .as far as she. directed. The &Kw of the great garret steed open, and Mule's mother, with a strange glad ness in her face ; looked out towards Annie, as sheleame the stairs.- " " Thank this `gentleman, mother, for. his kindness in .protecting me from-insult," said Atinie, gently. "But" left you sick!" ." I 'pm. well' now," exclaimed the ex cited Widow,." and here is what has cu'red me." 1 She held' a folded. paper: in her hand, [ " The will that was lost I—the Will that Lawyer Orandall and Other witnesses knew he made, and is here in mi hand ! It_is dated a -year. later than the one:kis brothr has ! Annie, my child; thank God Vkith me—thank God - They had gone into the neat little "I.;ar: ret-room—Annie, and Robert Southey fol lowing. The latter made no apelogyhe felt acquainted. with the circumstances, and told theiu so. Annie's face-was mai alitit was the picture . quickened into beautiful life—the same innocence of.ex pression, thd same spiritual loVeliness.. " Anme, You know liew'sacredly I have kept this-little Bible since your father's death," said Mrs. Bartlet; " only intiincs of peculiar joy or affliction reading from its saercd pageS,. because it was the : one your. father used in -his. private devotion. One. day when he was ill, but not yet sick eueq;ll to be - confined to bed, he asked me fc# a piece of green baize. I brought it to hum -and went somewhere—l forget Wlierd. -When I 'yeturned, the Bible:was covered. I-asked him what - he had co c erea- t for, and - he replied With . a smile, ' for You.'. I thought lie referred to the possihle event of his .death, and- it made ma sad. After- that he was struck With paralysis, and neither. spoke nor moved.

As I opened it, I thought the cover felt strangely slippery, and curiosity led me to push .it hither ani thither, until I felt sure:there was a paper underneath it. I unpasted.' the baisd,. and there, folded- carefully across' the hack of the sacred word, waslthe 'will. Q, praise Heaven 1?- We are poor no long er." I " Will you allow me - to trausnct l , this busiflcss for you ?" asked Robert . Scitith-: : ey, turning:to the mother. "I am claw= i yer, bud it would give use peculiar' pleas ure to serve you.as I am acquainted '.with youil relatiVes.". - - ,' Ohe glance at the noble facebefore, her, decided the widow. She accepted the offerl.with thanks. • - "I will find you a -better home than this to-morrow," said the young Man.

"It can not i be—" He stopped short, a cloud of perp t icxity gathered across his features. The beautiful Bu,genie was 'Savage.

He had lost previously in foolish spdculations, 'and had in his hands only the . house and t few. thousand dollars, which he had managed to save for his claUghter's portion. The widow Offered. Engenie a home; however, and she was too-thoroughly humbled to decline, She felt that it was useless attempting to earn her /own living, for she had barely a smat tering of any essential knowledge She could playa few tunes, she had. painted feW landscapes, embroidered a few collars and worked a few lamp-mats 7 —there her aciuirements ended.
