We think she would have been frightened at the reflection of her face—indeed, we are sure of it ! " Pearl ! Pearl !" sweetly called .Mrs. Perry from the doorway of her room, just across the entry. " It's plain she don't mean to let me sew here. Of course not. Maybe she'd as lief as not I'd melt, yes melt over the horrid seam in the hot sitting-room. I wonder what she wants of me, though. Some thing disagreeable —" " My child, do you not hear me ?" sweet ly asked Mrs. Perry, drawing near. Yes'm. What do you want of me ?" and Pearl dropped her sullen head still lower. " I think we shall find it cool and pleas ant in the east chamber. We will take our work there now, my love. I imagine that troublesome seam will grow less troub lesome there. Don't you, my darling ?" Mrs. Perry was one of those loveable be ings, who abound in sweet looks, endearing ways, and pet names, and whose patience, amiability, good judgment and quick dis cernment, are equalled by a firmness most merciful in all its' details. Her, naturally ex.Cellent judgment was constantly seeking knowledge and improvement, under the. Great Trencher whom she delighted to learn of, serve,' and honor. " I don't want to go there. I don't care anything about the room. Carl ought to , be thankful' that he is , not a girl.

" Keep me in ?" "Yes, Pearl." Pearl paled with anger and disinay, and' went on thinking her mother very cruel and unjust: She did not speak another word, but sat down in, the east nhamber to• her task, which she knew she must perform satisfactorily, let it take her as long as it might. Her mother did not comment upon her distorted face, nor •sullen silence, but she was deeply pained we may all be sure. ,She 'sat in grave silence, sending up many petitions for light and strength to guide aright that froward young spirit. At five, the task was ,well done. Then came the mending of the apron , string, which was also to he, well done. After that, Pearl could play. She put on her hat, and went into the garden. But she was not happy, and at that she wondered, for she had no disagreeable task now to take up her time. At lasi, she heard a great shouti..g, and, going to the gate she saw her playmates returning from the woods. Foremost was her brother Carl, bearing carefully a huge boquet of flowers. This she felt sure was for her. '".,U, there you are, Pearl. Come and meet us. Can't you walk with us now?" cried One of the girls. " Yea," surlily replied Pearl, without stirring however, and then idly humming, for the sake of seeming: -independent. "Then why don't you? Come, you can hum with us just as well. 0, I know,,yqu are mad still about your task. Lwouldn't have done it 1" "Then you would have been wicked. Mother, wants Pearl to be thor6hgli, that is all.

Pearl did not speak, ,but hummed on, and her companions passed along. Carl stopped in front of Pearl, and in a low tone I wonder that you'did not stand up fdr, mother!' " But she kept me in," muttered Pearl., "Beeausei.y.ou were careless. You are apt to be. Just look ,at your flower-beds.! Weedy,' ain't they ?

Don't' look so sad. Pearl wont always be naughty," said Carl; betivnen choking,sobs. " hope not- ; ; I Aare- gay the, dear child is very sorry for her conduct." , "I• know she is ! Mother was it, so hard for me to learn to be 'thorough ?" "No, my son,, for sou were 'naturally more'orderly and careful."

When bed-honr arrived, Pearl hastili caught ,and gave the good-night kiss,. but she felt dreadfully when she saw her.mOth erfa,seyea.swere ;tearful.-- She: entered:flier • little bed-room, took her Bible, and tried to „read,, but could not give the chapter proper attention. Then, after undressing herself, she knelt to repeat her- evening prayer; bat she seemed to have no heart for that, either. "What does ail me?

And the children sought Mrs. Perry, who was happy to forgive, advise and pray with her penitent child. The next morning Pearl rose bright and early to weed her garden. She was careful to put on the thick pantalets, stockings and shoes that her mother desired her to wear among dewy grass and plants. On the sit ting-room mantel she saw the boquet in a pretty vase. Carl had been careful to ar range it prettily, and for her. " And I was so naughty to him yester day I" sighed Pearl, pausing to admire it. In a few mornings her garden, looked as neatly as her mother could desire.

They succeeded in flying from France. It was their good fortune to escape from the bloody land where Robespierre and his associates were busy at the work of death. Alas I in those times of terror the poor children themselves abandoned with joy the parental roof, for no hiding-place was se cure against the vigilant eye of those mon sters who thirsted for innocent blood. The fugitives landed in America, and first went to Boston, where they found a retreat. But what a change for the young, pretty, and fashionable lady, spoiled from infancy by loud and continual praises of her beauty and talents ! Mona. de la Tour-du-Pin was extrava gantly fond of his wife. At the court of France he had seen her, with the proud eye of - a 'husband,' the object of general admira tion.

The towers are thirty-one feet three inches high, and twenty-eight feet one inch broad. The parapet is both crenelated and loop-holed, and the towers are pierced for the discharge of some projectile. From any elevated site the scenery well repays one for the trouble of ascent; clear streams are seen meander ing down the passes, whilst on every side, and looming far in the distance, are, a suc cession of brown hilltops, with small patch.; es only in cultivation. Droves of pack-as ses are seen going and returning, the form er unladen, and the latter bringing a small kind of brushwood, which the borderers burn instead of the millet stalk in use on the plains, whilst in wild abundance are scattered innumerable ash, poplar, and fir trees.. Offshoots branch out from the' wall in oc casional places. For their construction it is difficult in every case to assign a reason; the little town of Lo-wan,Fm is completely encircled 11.Y' one, and on the opposite side a . double" wall winds upward with the por tions in nearly parallel lines. A visit the following day to the Pass of Chapow, distant about:twenty-one leagues from that of the Lo-wan, confirmed our sur mise that in the'erection of. the wall the con tractors; if 'such there were `availed them selves to any estent.of.the-building mate rialw closest at hand.
