From a LONDON MJGAZ INE
HISTORY of MARIA.
THE
and regain the health, and bloom
which the dissipation of a fashionable
winter had contributed to destroy.
Her person, as wel| as mind,general
ly received feme afiftauce ; for, at a
diffance from thefefcionebh places of
retirement where the feene only of
gaiety is changed, and the real follies
preferred, with the additional absur
dity of an itoproper place and ^ fam"
season, fie really restored her health;
and 'even in the moments whh ffie
sighed most for the returning winter,
her frefh spirits and additional gaiety
wQula foretimes suggest that here on
ly she lived the life of reason.
After the adventure which we have
already related, as the town had, for
want of a Veltris, or Mrs. Siddons,
entertained themfelvcs with some of
the particulars, and, as usual, Appli
ed with the comments of ill nature,
what was deficient in their informa
tion, it was thought proper that Ma
ria's annual journey should be antici
pateQ. She yielded with reluctance,
for, ofed to command, she felt it irk
some to obey ; but to obey was neces
sary, and,under pretence of ill health,
she was at once hurried to a remote
corner in Devonshire. Her aunt re
ceived her with the usual affection,
enquired what new lovers her charms
had, attracted ,during the last winter,
enumerated the conquers which had
been attributed to heffelf,and at eve
ry post eagerly afl;ed whether there
were any letters froru America. Maria
enquired what new acquaintance lhe
hag in that part of die world ; but,
withan affected fm^p^e told her
that a the world did not treat her
with difrtfyed; and, that, when her
niece wpuldbe more communicative,
she mightte more unreferyed. Maria
whose foul was wholly entered on the
new Masquerade at the Pantheon,
and occafionaliy thought of an effemi
nate baronet, who had long dangled
in her'train of admirers, and, at last,
seemed unusually particular in his at
tentions, was little felicitous after the
conquers of an antiqua ed coquette ;
ptywia) a civil, hod* half ironical
%eer, told her. that fee had not yet
had it iri her power to pursue her con
qaefts so far, though, when: she was so
fortunate, lhe knew-rio one to whom
she would so readily communicate ' her
ficcefs as to her aunt. "My dear,
said the old lady, the morning at
breakfaft, win you accompany me on
a visit to a neighbour,whom you have
never seen, because she used to Visit
her daughter, who is fettled near
Exeter,at the which you ufedio spend
in the country ? She has,' however,
lately been .confined in the-goob and
her health is so much brtkrn,tbaf she
ivrll Scarcely be ablte to'niake her an
tincl joorhey. '.She has no one with
her but her son, who is usually ac
counted proud ana fallen, by our gen
tiemen,.but.chafe r attention to his
wafer, is unremitted, and his chief
to pipy mentLio fupedotend the estate
which will , became the. property of his
elder brother,wed hischief amusement
ifrrtrtdieg'ahdtfofic,!With which be
entertains bis ^atlrer, when she is
capable of attend lag ±a .either; He
has been but afew-fivonths from the
Univerfay." ''Certainly, Madam,
said Maria,! ihall be happy to attend
jeu ; but you cannot fappofe Itan'de
rive much entertainment from the
old gouty woman, Ind a young auk:
wark parson." " Indeed, said her
Gazetteer.
[Numb. 22 of Volume 6
clined attending Miss Mary C _ —,>
who is one of the most agreeable
young women of thi, country, to an
assembly, because his mother was not
well ; but I believe his heart may be
fastened, for when I last vifit^j my
neighbour, he &ew to th£ coach door,
arid said, with pl&fcrr bcamirg in
his eyes, ",Ho,fappy; Madam, am
I, that you.are comcl my mother is
very law spirited, and is always more
cheerful in'your company." He put
it off you fee on his mother; but Ido
not know what may happen." The
appearance of the coach (topped their
conversation and they went away to
gether. On their arrival at the Cot
tage, for so the rural retreat was em
phatically called, they .were ffiowm
into an elegant parlour, shaded with
jasmine, and adorned with some beau
tiful drawings. Maria saw, with
forprize, a harpficord, and the bock
which lay open contained the songs of
the musical genius of Devon (hire, Mr.
Jackson, whole competitions are so
soothing and attractive, to the feeling
foul of muling melancholy, that hie
admirers express the pleafu'e they
feel from them with a peculiar enthu
siasm. Jackson's gompofirions were
always favourites of. Maria, and foe
immediately fat down to play. The
arrival of the. young man difermcerted
her; she saw that-ftehad been betray,
ed into an inadvertency, but the adr
vantages of good breeding soon ccn
uibuted to reflore the calm. Sh^e<-
pefted indeed ^ profufion of compli
ments on her performance. She had
been afed to them, and thought ^hera
a tribute due to her fopcrior powers.
He; however, bowed only.with equal
refpe& to both, and immediately an
swered the old lady's questions after
his mother's health. If Maria was
forprifed by his infenfibilit,, she was
(truck with his figure. He was rather
above the middle size, and elegantly
shaped. Instead of the mauvaife honte
of the pedant, she fo»nd the case of
the courtier, and manly confidence
unused to fear, even in more danger
ous emergencies—a florid healthiness
beamed in his countenance—his large
black eyes were full of expressions
his voice gentle, andhis language an
imated and elegant: He Toon attend
ed the old lady.to his mother, adding,
with a smile, that he need not a
pologize for his abfcnce, fbr he was
fully convinced, from what he had al
ready heard, that he left a greater
fund of .entertainment -then he had
carried away. .Maria returned to the
barpficord, & found all Jackson's ma
fical works,& <nanufcriptr of the fame
author, the plaintive and uQteaed
Corelli, asrwell as some ofuhe best
attempts of the tore modern and fa
fliionable. musicians. An efegta bock

in it,lhe found many xhffical aorbora,
