AUNT MARTHA.
By MISS MILFORD

One Of the pleasantest h%ubltations l
have ever known is an old white house,
al right angles, with the pointed roofs
and clustered chimneys Of Elizabeth's
day, covered with roses, vines, and pas
sion flowers, and parted by "a green slo-
ping meadow from a struggling pictur-
esque village street. In this charming
abode resides a more charming family:
a gentleman.
:'Polite as all his life in Courts had been,
And good as he the world had never seem"
two daughters full Of sweetness and tai
ent; and aunt Martba-the most delight
full of old maids!-She has another ap-
pellation, | supposo,-she must have one {:
but | scarcely know it; Aunt Martha is
the name that belongs to her-thc name
Of affection. Such is the universal fee
ling which she inspires, that all her
friends, all her acquaintanccs, Tin this
cas- the terms are almost synonymous,)
speak Of her like her own family; she is
every body's Aunt Martha-and a very
charming Aunt Martha she is.
First of all, she is, as all women should
be il they can, remarkably handsome.
She may bet is a delicate matter to
speak Of a Iady's age!- she must be five
and forty; but few beauties of twenty
could stand a comparison with her lowell
ness. 1t is such n fitness Of Gloom, so
laxurient, SO satiating; just tall enough
to carry off the plumpness which at for
ty-fve is SO becoming; a brilliant com.
plexion; curled pouting lips! long, clear,
bright grey eycs-tho color for cxpross-
ion, that which unites the quickness Of
the black With the sofiness of the blue; u
Roman regularity Of feature; and a pro-
fusion Of rich brown hair. Such is Aunt
Martha. Add to this a very gentle and
plssssat speech always kiad, asd pss~-

THE LITTLE BLUE WEDDING RING.

THE LITTLE BLUE WEDDING RING.
1t was on a delightful evening ofthc last
day of April Il shall never forget it,
that | rendered Cora the choice Of two
rings, as the first pledge Of a long cher
ished affection. The one was ada
mond surmounied with pearls the 9TH
er a Ruby studded with Turquois.
While she was comparing the jewels for
a choice, a brilliancy beamed from her
expressive blue eye, that markad the
lustre of the objects she contemplated;
and then she cast them on me with a
bewitching smile Of gratitude COR my lit
lie offering, snd babe me choose for her.
mo, my Cora, | replied, thou shalt
choose, either binds my heart to thee for
over.' She chose the Rupy with Tur-
quois-it was the less valuable in price.
[ asked her why she preferred III 'Ya-
zin,' said she, Il now stand before thee
a, the plighted mistress Of thy heart,
and the pledged wife Of thy bosen. The
