"Yes • I've noticed her on the street a great many times. Once seen, she is likely to be remembered." "Perkins ? Perkins ? What family of Per kinses ?" "I can'tenlighten you beyond the fact that her father is said to be very rich. He is from New York, I have heard. You know the ele gant house Randall built ?" "Yes." "He's bought that property." "Ah ! then he must have a few spare dol. ars. What is his business ?" "lie has none, I believe." "A retired merchant, I presume." "No doubt." "He's got a stylish looking girl for a daugh ter, that's certain. Just observe her now, as the light falls over her ! Isn't that a face, once seen, to be remembered ? What a bril liant pair of eyes! full of fire and feeling.— And such a complexion I As the poet would say— Like the apple tree blossom From the dew-fountains fed Is the bloom of her cheek, With its white and its red.' Thin. wide nostrils, and lips of which a sculp tor might dream ! .Ah ! that is a face of ex quisite perfection." "Beautiful, certainly ; yet to me it fails in womanly softness. She carries her head a lit tie too proudly." "Conscious superiority cannot always hide itself. Gifted, accomplished, and, for a nature like hers, something undisciplined, we may infer, it can hardly be a cause of wonder, or even rebuke, that pride should a little vaunt itself. The wonder would be at a different re sult. We forgive in some what we never tol erate in others." "Did you see that ?" asked the other, his tones expressing surprise. "I did." "What do you think of it ?" A young lady, well known to both of the gentlemen who were conversing, had just been presented to Miss Perkins, who received the introduction with an icy stiffness of manner, that could not be called lady-like. Her head drew itself up with an undisguised haughti ness, her lips closed proudly, her eyes looked coldly into the crimsoning face of the modest girl who stood before her. Conscious superi ority was stamped on attitude and expression. "It doesn't just please me," was replied to the question. "And yet, she looks beautiful, even under the veil of pride. The manner of her education, and the social sphere in which she has moved, have conspired to give her false ideas of personal consequence. • So I ex plain it." "She will not gain much in the estimation of people in our circle by putting on airs of supe riority towards Mary Langdon." G-REENCASTLE, PA., TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1864. "No; but when she comes to a mere intimate acquaintance with Miss Langdon, she will honor her as an equal." There was an unsatisfied shrug in response. Remarks of this character were not conaned to the interlocutors we have introduced. The air, manner, style of beauty, dress and conduct of Miss Perkins, drew upon her observant eyes from all directions. She was noticed on the street, in company, at public places—every where, with a minuteness of observation that girls of less dash and pretension escape. Sen sible people. and those who understood what the word lady meant, were not favorably im pressed by Miss Perkins. They saw snobbish ness—a homely but expressive word—where others saw an air of genuine superiority, to the manner born. "She acts as if she were somebody, and knew it," was said by another, as he looked after her, moving across the room, on the arm of a young man not over highly esteemed for moral worth iu the community. Her step was very stately. "The ground is hardly good enough for her feet. There ought to be a great deal of real substance back of all this." "And is, without doubt. She is hardly the fool to build so imposing an edifice on a poor foundation." • "I don't know. Real worth is not, usually, pretentious. I am always suspicious in cases of this kind." "What do you -know of her family ?" "Nothing. Common report says that Mr. Perkins has immense wealth. He is some re tired merchant prince, I suppose." "He doesn't strike me as a very princely looking man." "No. But men don't always, in the outer aspect, reveal their true quality." "Who is this Perkins ?" The question was. put to a third person, who came up at the mo ment. "A retired shoemaker or leather-dealer, which ever you will." "It's a fact, and nothing to his discredit; rather to his honor, that he had energy enough to make a fortune out of the slender materials that were given into his hands." "Arc you certain of this ?" "Yes; I have it from one who knew him thirty years ago, and who has worn shoes of his manufacture.. He started in life . as'a jour neyman shoemaker; saved enough to open a shop for himself; got along by industry and economy ; and finally accumulated a handsome fortune, which he is now enjoying." "And this handsome, proud, dashing young lady, who can treat Mary Lan don with indif ference, as though beneath her, is his daugh ter; I must get a little closer to her, and see what are her personal merits." . "The Langdoas live opposite the Perkins es:?" "Yes. Mr. Langdon is poor, and Mary give lessons in music, French and Italian, in order to lighten the burdens that rest upon her fath- ES "An'd a noble girl she is—worth a hundred of your painted, butterfly chits, who in all public places offend the eyes of sensible men and women. Mr. Langdon, once among our wealthiest citizens, but now reduced in circum stances, is as far above common men, as to character, education, mental endowments, and social accomplishments, as his daughter is above the crowd of girls I have designated. Look at him and then at Mr. Perkins. You will be in no doubt as to which is made of fine, and which of common stuff." The two gentlemen, soon after, found them selves in a group of which Mary Langdon and Miss Perkins formed a part. The former was • quiet and observant, the latter gay, talkative, and disposed to make herself a central attrac tion. A new book was mentioned, and the opinion of Miss Perkins asked. She had not read it, but ventured a flippant criticism on the author. "Have you read the book, Miss Langdon ?" asked one of the gentleman who had joined the group The question was meant to bring the two young ladies in contrast. She smiled, and said, "Yes." "How wero you pleased ?" ' "The reading of that volume," she replied, in her sweet, unobtrusive way, "is a thing to be remembered. To me it was a rare plea• sure." "No !" "Yes." "And in a fair bumbler manner." "lie draws his characters with aeat,pkill." "Yes," she answered; "with a skill that makes them stand out, individualized, to your mind as clearly as characters in real life stand out. And yet none of them are the men and women we see." "Hilda is charming," remarked one of her auditors For that sweet type of pure womanhood all women should thank him," said Miss Langdon, as a new beauty, born•of spirit, flushed her gentle face "And all men, too," was answered; "for such an ideal in the mind of a woman, must lift her in some degree, above selfishness and conventionality, making her more worthy of her high mission—and more worthy she be comes, the more surely will man rise to higher and purer altitudes." "What do you call her mission ?" here broke in Miss Perkins smartly. "To sew on buttons, and nurse babies ?" And she laughed a gay laugh. The conver sation had gone beyond her depth, and she made an effort to draw it back , into shallow IMM "Two or three pairs of eyes were turned upon her face, suddenly, though not admiringly.— No one answered. After a pause, Miss Lang- don said: "I have read many descriptions of St. Peter's at Rome but never had the vast interior so clearly represented to my mind as in this book. And the remarkable thing is, that the descrip tion which is really subordinate to the incidents that hold your deep feeling in the story, leaves on your mind, an almost daguerreotype impres sion. I stood, for the time, amid its isles and chapels, awed by its grandeur, and bewildered by its untold wealth of ornaments A cloud was visible over the face of Miss Perkins, and it veiled, to more eyes than one, the beauty that played over it, like sunshine, a little while before. She felt the superiority of Miss Langdon, and it made her angry.— Again sh-.: threw in a remark, intended to change the subject of conversation: but she failed as before, and drew eyes upon whose expression by no means flattered her vanity. "Do you sing, Miss Perkins?" asked one 'of the group. "No sir," wag answered, with a slight toss o the head, and an air meant to convey the im pression that she thought singing a vulgar ac complishment. "You play.; I have heard you." And the young lady was taken to the piano, on which she pounded expressionless, through a difficult piece of Italian music, which her teacher had given her as an exercise, and into the theme of which she bad not the appreciative taste to enter. There was a sudden stillness in the room, when the first chords of music ran through it with an emphasis; but, in a little while, the murmur of voices began again, and soon half drowned the throbbing instrument. Miss Perkins left the piano in disgust and ill-humor at the close of her first performance, much to the relief of all sensitive ears. Then Miss Langdon took her place, at the request of more than one. The same stillness pervaded the room at her first touches, as in the case of Miss Perkins ; but how different were the touches and how prolonged the silence There was no effort at brilliancy; no choice of impos ing subjects; no loud Clash of the strings.— She was not performing in the effort to extor a reluctant admiration, but to give, if possible, pleasure to her 'listeners. And so she took familiar themes, light and pleasing ; or tender with pathos; or sweet with bird-like melodies —her fingers all the while playing with the keys as if every touch were a sentiment. The murmur of voices did not go on again after the first stillness ; but every ear listened until the last note died. Then words of praise, or ex pression of delight, passed from lip to lip. Miss Perkins heard them, and they stung her pride. "Nothing 'but a teacher!" she said with a curling lip, to a girl who sat near her; "and this is her card.. Perhaps she'll get a new scholar to-morrow." The girl laughed at her pretty smartness, but did not admire the spirit in which she • had spoken. It happened that within ear distance, one of these independent, free speaking, not over-delicate individuals, met in all compaes, happened to be standing. Mary Langdonmas one of her favorites, and the remark of Miss Perkins, which she heard distinctly, put the match to her quick feelings. Turning towards her, she asked,•loudly enough for at least half a dozen to hear— "Can you tell me in what respect a shoe maker is butter thau a teacher ?" AD VERTISI NG RATES.

We merely give the fact. Miss Perkins had provoked a rebuke, and it was given in no honeyed shape. Her face burnt crimsoned red in an instant, and she bent it down low to hide the telltale glow. "This was rather severe, Miss Casper," said one of the gentlemen, whose curious observa tion had already been drawn towards Miss Per- kin "I know it was," she answered ; "but the shallow upstart provoked me beyond endurance. You heard her remark about Mary Landon ?" "No." "She said, with a curl of her thin lip, that Mary was only a teacher, and that her sweet performance just now was given as a card Contemptible I" "That was rather sharp." "It was the mean snarling of a little soul. Who and what is she, I wonder? A shoe maker's daughter ! I've searched out her pedi gree. People that put on airs must expect to be sifted to th*bottom, as she and hers have been. Her mother bound shoes for a living, when her father, cobbler, married her. That was their beginning." "No disgrace to them," was answered. "Nobody said it was; my grandfather was a blacksmith, and my father made barrels in his younger days, but I don't see that I am better, in consequence, than the highly accomplished daughter of a highly educated, honorable gen tleman, for all that. Miss Perkins ! Pah ! *hat is she in her self? She has but little mind; is poorly educated; has no real accom plishment; is vulgar and badly behaved in the streets, and public places; is proud, vain, and self conceited. Why, she hasn't a claim be yond a certain taken style of beauty—taking, I mean, to a class of young men who cannot see mind and feeling in a face—to any kind of social position," "You forgot her father's money." "Throw that in, if you will, as a make weight. She needs it in all conscience "That , is the stylish, handsome, dashing, pretentious Miss Perkins ?" "It is." "I thought her somebody." "And you find her just—nobody !" "Alas! bow the fine gold is dimmed." "There is no floe gold to dim," replied Miss Casper.

The book of a malignant writer cannot re flect its author without reflecting on everybody else. A military man is generally vain.
