WHAT IS A YEAR, P
What is a year ? 'Tis but a ware
On life's dark-rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone that we
Account it but a dream.
'Tie but a single, earnest throb
Of Time's old iron heart,
Which tireless , is and strong as when
It first with life did start.
What is a year ? 'Tie but a turn
Of Time's old brazen wheel;
Or but a pang upon the book
Which Time must shortly seal.
'Tis but a step upon the road
That we must travel o'er ;.
A few more steps, and we shall walk
Life's weary road no more.
What is a year? 'Tis but a breath
From Times old nostrils blown
As, rushing onward o'er the earth,
We hear his weary moan.
'Tis like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn :
As transient as the mist of morn
Beneath the summer's sun.
What is a year ? 'Tis but a type
Of Time's oft-changing scene;
Youth's happy morn comes gaily on;
With hills and valley's green :
Next summer's pirme succeeds the spring,
Then Autumn, with a tear ;
Then comes old winter ; death and all
Must find a level here.

SOMEBODY.
BY T. S. ARTHUR
"Who is that, young lady ?"
"Her name is Perkins," was the answer.
"There's a style about her not often met
with."
"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 ?"

We by no means justify this unladylike
rudeness. 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. "I have only rubbed of the tinsel,
and showed you the coarse-grained substance
beneath. All is not gold, thatglitters."—N.
