ARTHUR. matter how unpleasant, they were cherishing pride, selfishness, vanity, worldliness, envy and ill-nature. The time came, as years progressed', when it was no longer said, "I pity her, she is so plain.' Not that any saw signs of beauty in her face; but did not appear in company as frequently as her gay and brilliant sisters, who always had around them a circle of admirers; but when she appeared, she did not sit alone, as once, nor so often 'form the subject of depreciating comparison. Persons who had kept aloof from her began to feel an attraction that drew them to her aide; and many wondered with them selves.how it was that they had been so slow in 'discovering how greatly she was, in some things, superior to her more showy sisters. There was a sphere of tranquility about Margaret felt , by every one who approached her. The repose of her manner did not break up easily, but to right sentiments and feelings she responded with a warmth of expression that veiled nothing of insincerity. In conver sation, where the subject was agreeable, thought would light up her countenance, and play over it, in i mauifold changes. It was singularly mobile to the mind—answering to emotion; eqncteal ing• • Time came when the two elder sisters found themselves often less attractive in company than the homely ‘ Margaret. Young men ; whose favor they desired to win, were not in frequently indifferent to all their arts and blandishments; and, yet, stranger still, as it appeared to them, so interested in Margaret, as to be emulous of attention towards her. it; is not always that truth comes to ears most concerned in hearing it. Friends and neighbors see and talk about.our personil de fects, peon liarities,and hindering faults, though we see them not, and, go on blindly indulging them .to our loss and injury. Margaret's two elder sisters still thought themselves beautiful, winning, graceful beyond all comparison with their Cinderella, as once they had been vain and heartless, enoughAo call her. They did not recognize the fairy work that, with slower than old fairy touches, yet with more enduring magic,. was •transforming her daily. But there were eyes that, could see while theirs was blind ;,,and it happened that, through the sense of hearing, they gained a • knowledge of what their sight had Jailed to give. The eldest— her name .was Cordelia—nverheard , it matters not as to the place and. circumstance, this con versation.• ,It was between• two ; young men with •whom she had.been long acquainted. "I used to thick her beautiful," saidone.of them. "Cordelia ?" "Yes." "So did I. Three or four years ago, when she and her sister first came out, with tho girl ish bloom upon them, I thought them two of the loveliest creatures I had ever seen. - But, somehow, they have been fading, or changing, ever since." "There is nothing in them," said the first speaker. "Not much," was answered. "They dress elegantly, and have a world of sprightly gossip and small talk. But as to cul ture of the heart or intellect, I have failed to discover the signs. I was quite smitten with Cordelia at first—actually in love with her bright eyes and blossoming face—but I got braiely over itiong ago: Beauty is very well in these love matters, but a sensible man is apt to look a little way beneath' the surface, to see what kind of a' foundation beauty is rest ing upon. Girls of this class are well enough to•dance and flirt with; but for'the graver pur poses of matrimony, none but knaves or fools accept them." "Thefe are knaves and fools about." "0; yes, as witness the` wretched marriages that are constantly taking place. 'There's a following dancing attendance on Cordelia now. who is just weak enough to marry her •as a kind of show-wife. `• He thinks her queenly! Of course, if the event comes off, there will be- another miserable couple added to the list. Both will find themselves disappointed." "By the way," 'said the other, breaking in upon his friend's homily, "what do you think of the plainer sister?" "Margaret ?" . "Yes." "I've ceased to call her plain." "You would hardly call her beautiful." • "I don't - know.. I have seen her when to call her beatitiful would betio error of language. The tact is, Margaret has puzzled me at times. I grant you, that her features are not cut after a '6laSsic model; nor is there what we some- . butes call 'style' in her face. She hasn't the IBER 15, 1863. NO 38 fine complex, nor the large liquid eyes of her oldest sister; and yet her countenance is to me far more attractive—it is so full of mind and feeling. You forget, as you talk with ber, the material lines of her face, in the beauty of thought that transfigures it. Do you want a higher style than this ?" "And yet Margaret was very lonely. There was a time when I 'almost wondered at her courage in venturing to brave the comparison that must be made between her and her sis- tern." "Yes T remember my first impression also. But it gradually wore off as I came to kndw the feet is, her beautiful soul shines through its material veil, and you see the light and lOveliness within. In the ease of her sisters, the order is reversed. They have not, I fear beautiful souls. "The mantle they have so long worn in prid," was answered, "is dropping away from them, and if they do not see to it will fall upon the shoulders of Margaret. If I were 'choosing a wife from among these three sisters, I should'nt hesitate a moment." "You would take Margaret." "Yes." "Not regarding mere beauty as anything when put in contrast with excellence of charac ter." "I am a lover of beauty," was replied. "Whenever the beautiful is presented, I find myself a constrained worshipper. At first, I saw beauty only in form and color; and was in constant danger of accepting gilt and bloom enduring substance. Twice I had been on the eve of a marriage proposal, blinded, fascinated by mere external charms. I shudder, some times; when I think of' what I escaped in both instances. The beauty lay only ou the sur face. Gradually my mind became better in structed. I was able to see the difference be. tween real beauty and its fading semblance. So, I am still a worshipper of beauty; but I recognize its higher types. The surface of things has grown transparent to my clearer view " "Then, in taking Marga'ret, you would still have regard to beauty ?" 'Yes; to that beauty which fades not, and which has power to mould even a plain face into a likeness of itself!' Cordelia heard no more. Though concealed from view, she recognized the speakers' voices. Hopes were dashed to the earth, which had been fondly cheriShed. She understood some things which had occasionally puzzled her thought; knew not why it was that certain young men, of high excellence, who so eagerly sought her favor for a time, gradually with drew themselves, and became attentive to what she had ccusidered less attractive girls. There beauty of which she had not dreamed ; a beau ty to which she had not attained; a beauty scarcely iecognized at first, but growing more and more apparent, and putting forth allure ments besides which all that she could offer was but as the glityr of tinsel. "Your sister is looking well to-night." Cordelia started from her painful reverie at the vioce of a matronly friend. "Margaret, you mean," was her subdued re ply. But for the conversation just heard, she would have not thought of this sister. ' "Yes. flow much she has improved. I hearit remarked on all aides. You must take care, or she will bear off the palm." The elder sister turned , her face away so that its expression might nut be seen. "She is so good, so true ; so full of that spon taneous grace that comes from order and sym metry within. She must have a beautiful soul." A year later, and Margaret was the bride of a, man who once stood bewildered and fasci 'wed in the blaze of Cordelia's beauty—of one who bad said of her, as many had said— " What a pity, she is so plain!" And he was a lover of beauty in all its forms. RECTIFIED SPIRITS. Some years ago, a chap in a town in the State of Maine having played the "gay gal lant" a little too freely to a distiller's daughter —quite overstepping the modesty of nature— was called to account by the old gentleman, who demanded sharply, "what excuse be had for such conduct ?" "Nothing," was the re ply, "but exuberance of spirits." "Is that all you graceless scamp ?" rejoined the old fellow, as he brought his cane down on the floor with terrible emphasis; "then let me tell you, sir, the sooner you get them rectified the better.
