thinking.how sad a change it would b.

A good deal more was said by M
man, who did not feel very comfort

The young girl who had been re

there, with a burning cheek, sat down
as calmly as her disturbed feelings w
mit. The weakness of tears she did
didge. Self=respect, rather than pr
tallied her. Had she acted from the
pulse, she would have left the house
atetY, never again, to re-enter it. B ,
soon told•her that, however strong be
4s might be, duties and conside
bbyond there feeling, must come in t.
them.
"It ,I;lnes, I know ; aqd I must not forget this.
Hada a choice, I certainly should not,seleet the
family of Mrs: Freeman as the one in which to
begin the new life I am about entering upon.
The ;and Fanny are among the few who have
ceased to "notice me, except with great coldnefs,
sincti my uncle's misfortunes.. But I will not
think of this. , If they will take me, I will go
eventinto their house, and assume the bumble
duties of a governess."
Mrs. Carlton immediately ! called upon Mrs.
Preainan, and mentioned Jessie. Some objec
tion ivas made on the score of her being ari old
acqunintanee, who would expect more notice
thanione in her position was entitled to receive.
This howeCer, was overruled by Mrs. Carlton,
and,lafter an interview with Jessie, an engage
ment. was entered into fora year, at a salary of
fouribundred dollars.
When Jessie mentioned the subject to her
Mr. Hartnian, ho became a good deal ex
cited; and said that she should do no such thing. i
But 'Jessie remained firm, and her uncle was at
last Compelled, though with great reluctance, to
cons§nt to what - she proposed, regarding it only
as tOemporary measure.
The first day's experience of Jessie under
the ihof of Mrs. Freeman, is known to the read
er. ;It Was a painful_ experience, but she bore;
it in:Abe right spirit. After that, she was care=
ful to confine herself to the part of the house
assigned her as a servant and inferior, and nev
er ventured upon the least familiarity with any
one. Her duty to the children who were com
mittiid to her charge, was faithfully performed,
and "She received, regularly, her wages, accord
ing contract, and there the relation between
her 4ind this family ceased. Pay after day,
week after week, and month after month, did
Jes Alec Hampton, .unchtered by an approving
smile or friendly word, discharge her duties.
•Butshe had within, to sustain her, a conscious
nesi, that she was doing right, and a firm trust
lin an all-wise and merciful Providence.
1 Mrs. Carlton remained het steady friend, and
Jesio spent an evening at her house almost ev
ery!week, and frequently met there many of her
'old t:acquaintances. fif her treatment in the
hoiSe of Mrs. Freeman she never spoke, and
when questioned on the subject, avoided giv
direct anstver.
Hartman's struggle proved to be a hard
out Harrassed by claims that he could not
pay off at once, his credit almost entirely gone,
land the capital upon which he was doing busi
ness limited to a few hundred dollars, ho found
it Almost impossible to make any headway. In

• indeed, uncle, your are not well," remark

silent abstraction into which Mr. Hartman had
fallen, after in vain, trying to converse cheer
fully with his niece.
" I am well enough in body, Jessie; but my
mind is a little anxious just now," he replied.
" Isn't your business coming out as well as,

" Ali !"
"Yes.' Yon know they gave a party last
night?"
I: do." . ,
" Miss Hampton was not .present."
"As much might have been inferred."
" And yet the was` . no young, lady in the
room her equal in all that goes to make up the
character of a lovely woman."
" Well, my son,' replied the old gentleman,
" e at' I have to say is, that I look upon this
young lady as possessing excellenCies of char
acter far oughtweighing all the endowments of
wealth. Money! It may take to itself wings
in a day; but virtue like hers is as abiding as
eternity. If your heart is not otherwise inter
ested, and yoU feel so inclined, win her if you
can., Another likc.her may never cross your
path. With such a 'woman as your wife, you
need not tremble at the word adversity."
The young man did, not reply. What his
thoughts were, his actions subsequently attes
After the party ; to the distant coldness with
which Mrs. Freeman had treated Jessie since
she, came into her bowie, were, added certain
signs of dislike, quickly perceivedby the maid
en. In addressing her, Mrs. Freeman ex
hibited, at.times, a superciliousness that was
particularly offensive. But Jessie checked the
indignant feelings that arose in her bosom,
and in conscious rectitude of character, went
on faithfully disdharging her duties. _since the
timely aid she had been able to bring her _un
cle, she had a-new motive for effort, and went
through her daily task with a more cheerful
spirit. . ,
One day, about six months after the occur
rence of the' party whioh has been meatioped,
Jessie r a little to the surprise of Mrs. Preemail;
gave. that lady notieethat, at a certain time not
far off, she would terminate her engagement
with her. The only reason she gave was, that
the necessity which took_
- her from home no lon
ger remained. At the time mentioned; Jessie
left, although Mrs. Freeman, urged by other
members of the family, who could better appre
ciate the yOung lady's worth, offered a consid-
I erable increase of salary as an inducement to
remain.
" What do yon think?" exclaimed Fanny,
about three weeks subsequently, throwing open
the parlor door, where thefamily had assembled
just before tea. "Jessie Hampton's married'."
" What!" ejaculated Mrs. Freeman. "Mar
ried ?"
" 0 yes, sure enough," said Mr. Freeman,
" I heard of it s little *We before .I left my
counting-room. And more *prising still, she
is married to young Edgar."
" b no !" responded Mrs. Fieeman,lncredu
lously. "It's some mistake. Never. It can
not be."
" Oh, but it is a fact, mother," said Fanny,
with ill-concealed ihigrin. "Liziy Martin
was her bridesmaid. They were married at!
Mrs. Carlton's this morning, and the whole bri
dal party has gone off to Saratoga."
" He's got a good wife," remarked the broth
er of Mrs. Freeman, ia his quiet way. ;'
I al
ways liked that young ,man, and like- him bet
ter than ever now. I knew he vas, a fellow of
good sense ; but he his"showed himself to pos
sess more of that sterling material than I
thought."
Mr. Freeman also gave his opinion, and in
doing so, expressed himself pretty freely in re
gard to the treatment 4eSsie had received while
in the house. As for his wife, when truth as
sumed an undoubted form, she sunk into' mor
tified/ilence, and Finay felt even worse than
her mother, andlor reusons that lay nearer her
heart.
In a little while•the %ride took her old place
in society, and many -who, in, her seclusion,
passed her coldly, or all unnoticed, met her now
with smiles and with warm congratulations
Ofall the changes &bat follo , sr,cd -as a conse

How purely and brighpy , - the stream of Jessio's
1 1
bsppiness flowed on, eed not be told. Virtue
and Integrity of chara ter hid met their justre
