. IThere stood lin this dull, monotonous

covered with faded damask that-was 'once
rich and brilliant), but now looked only like
a! relic of better days. Thete sat, from
morning till night, in this right regal chair

lady-. Her own dress was comPosed'of flow

with the same oval face, the same clear blue
eye, the same well-cutlip, a complexion with
evien less of the fresh red rose, but more of
the' unfaded lily,—but, while thus alike in
foem, how different was the expression!
This young girl was very busily employed

above mentioned shreds and passages,—' I

Joanna hung her head in silence, and a
te+ fell upon her wreath of orange-blossoms.
She 'then carefully packed up her bridal
wreath of orange-blossoms, and tying on her
simple straw bonnet, with a smile, a kigh,
and a kiss, tripped out of the room, planning
hotr she might make the price of her labor
procure some luxury for the old lady of Roo-
hillaire. And yet Joanna Rohillaire had
set lup the greater portion of the night weav

other.
Tire poor student, however, who lived in
thel next room, had done more ; he had been
tenlpted to undertake some literary labor on
pequniary grounds, which required an almost

"EVERY DIFFERENCE OF 'OPINION
I did nothing—but I hope you are better,'
hastily and with a deep blush, said Joanna.
The poor student's clear, scrutinizing eye
glanced from one to the other, and he bow
ed to each. •
Yttimay sit, sir—be pleased to sit,' said
the of '
, a,dy of Rohillaire, waving her hand
with . alityle of royalty, towards the shabby
rush-bottomed chair. Though. even in our
fallen fortunes, we would not lipid compan
ionship,with plebians, yet you seem ill, sir,
and a Rohillaire must ever remember that
it is the prerogative of her birthright to suc
cor add piotect; therefore, be pleased to sit,
sir.' .
Again the poor student's dear eye looked
up into the face Of the old lady of Rohillaire
but without resenting the mode of her prof
fered courtesy he accepted it.
May I be allowed to say, that I rejoice
in the accident which has introduced me to
your notice,' said ourberol... and at the same
time I cannot help wondering how an inhab
itant of the same dwelling could be so long
ignorant of his vicinity to such superior
neighbors.' And again the poor student
bowed" to the ladies.
You have breeding, young man—you
have breeding; and I should not wonder if
you are of gentle birth,' said the old lady of
Rphillnire.
I am almOst ashamed to Own hov close
ly the pride of a good descent from gn old
county family clings to me in all that I do,'
replied the poor student; more- especially
when pride and poverty, in my own case,
matte such a sorry partnership.'
Ashamed !' exclaimed the old lady of
Rohillaire. 'Ashamed! Be asharned of
thy shame, young man. One drop of the
blood from an ancient pedigree must still
shine out through all the mists of poverty,
manifesting more nobility than mines of
wealth can emulate.'
'But pretension so ill supported, may bet
ter he laid aside,' said Paulett.
There is ,something degenerate in this
age,' said the old lady. Even the daughter
of our house, whom I have nurtured from a
child, and to,whom the dignity of her race
has been a daily lesson, I cannot teach at all
times to remember that she owes to the
princely blood which flows through her
veins, a princely honor. Humiliation is the
virtue of menials. I grant that them it
is a virtue; and yet I cannot cure her of
this, in one of her race, debasing quality.'
Dear grandmamma,' said Joanna, a tear
in her. eye and a blush on her cheek, as she
went on twisting and twirling her buds and
blossoms together, you know that von were
born the lady of Rohillare, and that I was
bona—' 4

Well, and could we exchange places, tin -

poor Joanna, with El, face burnt uir.with
blushes.
'Well, well, it need not have been so,
were not might stronger than right, in this
world. But it is the law, sir, which ruins
men. The world is right in that it least.—
It is the law which robs the widow of her
portion, the orphan of her birthright ! Ir is
the law, sir ! I detest lawyers.'
•
I grieve to hear you say so,' replied the
student, 'since it'is the law that I look to for
ti_revival of my own fortunes.'
How so, sir? how so?'
I am hoping, some of these days, to be
called to the bar.'
A base calling it is sir! A base calling!
I and that girl have been pillaged of the
revenues of Rolidlaire by a piece of the law's
base treachery. At this moment another
sits in my place. and the child of a churl will
heirmy 'father's house and lands instead of
my own gentle Joanna; and a!I because of
the Jaw, sir—because of the law, sir.' -
'I cannot but regret that acy word of
mine should have called up iations so
painful,' said the poor studer.t; aod I will

From this time ferward the poor student

nouncing his epp:otich. Day after day Jo- I

dropped into his usual attitude - of listening
sympathy, and beard the old lady of Rohil
laire despairing, as usual, the loss of her
estates, the tyranny of the law and the villa
ny of lawyers.
Now, *;is a well-known fact, that people
may live in the vicinity of sledge-hammers
until they have forgotten that they are con
sidered rather noisy! - and'thus Oliver Pau:
lett had heard the old lady of Hokillaire talk
of her wrongs from the first moment of their_
acquaintance. He began to have an idea
that he could be bored by Joanna's grand
mamma when Joanna was not present, how
ever inipossible that might be when she
was; and then he fell into a reverie - as to
how all this was to end;; and then he re
membered that he was about as poor as Job;
and then he supposed it more than possible,
that he might never, as long as he lived, get
a Single brief, and then--and then--
And- sO you see, Mr. Paulett, our estates
were lo,st to us all through the villainy of
that baseman, that lawyer; said the hark
voice of the old lady of Rohillaire, in her
loudest accent as though she doubted his
hearing.
The poor student started from his reverie;
the untuned voice seemed to awaken him
from his dream. And why, said he to him
self, why 'have I always taken it for granted
that this , old watnan's cornplainings could
have becti nothing more than maudling mis
takes? why have I never invested the matte
ter for kir sake I Simply, I suppose be
cause I have been so engrossed with the.
thoughts of her, that I forgot even all that
belonged to her.
,My dear madam, said the poor student,
drawing his humble rush-bottomed seat near
er to the chair of - state, since you have hon
ored me sio far, as frequently to allude to the
eiremstances which led to the loss of your
estates, perhaps you will now favor me with
their rec.apitulatimi.
Have Ipot narrated them a hundred times
at least ? retorted the old lady ; if they inter
ested you so brie as to be so soon forgotten,
why should I trouble you with their revival.
It is because they interest me so much,
that I presume to beg their recapitulation.
Be it so, sir, replied the old lady of Rohil
laire ; and thereupon she commenced ~new
the recitals of her many - wrongs ; dud this
time, and'. for the first time, the young law
yer listened attentively, bringing to bear up
on the care all his legal knowledge, and

looked paler than, ever as he thus marshaled

The port- lawy er --a h, no, not now i 'the]
poor lawyer, for briefslately had poured in
so fast upoh him,:that he stood fair to Soon

As the post-chaise which carried ihim
wound up the sweep to the entrance, '....;and
his eye wfindereci over the fair domain ) = the

of Rohillaire standing on the very stepS of
her own mansion,' to receive jiim—a conde
seeniion which it's more than doubtfuliishe
would not lhave offered to royality—with
hands extended to Welcome hint, with Jonlina

blushine arid smillOg at her side. --:
' My y e dear friend: said the old ladyofifto-
