A TALE.

AMANDA ELIZABETH was the daughter of very res
pectable parents. who, living in retirement in the
country, consigned her, at early age, 10 the of
her maternal grandmother, lady of great wealth and
strong partialties, and who passionatey attached
to her little namesake. Soon after this change had
taken place, the mother of Amanda Elizabeth died,
and her father in the course of few months marr-
ed his housekeeper. Thus the ties were severed that
that had bound Elizabeth to her fathers house, and
she became from that time the acknowledged heiress
of her grandmama's large fortune. The old lady was
weak and blindy indulgent, and every wish or within
of her grandchild instantly attended to. When
she chose to ride, her pony was Immediately prepared,
and servant to attend her then the little miss
would probably change her mind and prefer the car
riage this was directly ordered and in this way
the germ of selfshness was implanted, which opera
ted as governing principle in the afterlife of Aman-
da Elizabeth.
When she had reached her tenth year, her uncle,
of good sense, prevailed his mother to place
her in celebrated boarding school, for the purpose
of obtaining an education, he saw it was utterly
impossible to expect any improvement from child
who went to school, and studied only when she her.
self chose it. The old lady yielded reluctantly, and
felt pang parting with her darling, which was en-
trely unreciprocated by the giddy Elizabeth.
She was furnished with every luxury for her own
private indulgence, and all her trunks and boxes were
carefully locked, and the keys consigned to little
pocket worn in secret, beneath her dress. She was
selfish to surprising degree for one of her age, and
was never known to lend the smallest article for
single moment, to any of her companions; for so
deeply rooted was the despicabe principle of selfish
ness, that she kept every thing under lock and key,
and would steal alone up into chamber during play
hours that she might feast on the deicacies her fond
grandmama had provided never offering to share the
smallest part with her classmates and although she
was tolerably sociable with many, yet she carefully
avoided all decided intimaces, lest they might en-
rroach on the narrow limits she chose to allow her.

There appears to me no good reason why females

should try to excel those whom they have left in sin-

did establishment of her doting grandmother, and
ushered into the best society under the most favorable
auspices. But the very basis of her character was
selfsess and when by her talents and requirements
she had gained friend the meanness of her dsposi-
ton soon becoming known, disguised them, and thew
left her almost to solitary grandeur in the elegant man
sion where she dwelt The health of her grandmama
being very delicate, they advised to try the ad.

mer of 1920, we find Amanda Elizabeth on the fash.
onable list at Long Branch where her repued wealth
procured her much attention from the crowd of vis-
tors assembled there. Among the number was Charles
Montrose, young man of eenteel appearance and
manners, who introduced to Elizabeth by her I'M
Gle, as the son OF particular friend of his, from the
State of Ohio. He improved his acquaintance and
married Amanda Elizabeth only few weeks previous
to the death OF her grandmother but what was his
astonlshment TO learn that every cent of the old adys
property was secured to his VIE, and that he could
not command dollar of it, lie had observed sever
al mean and petty acts of his selfish helpmate, and
every succeeding month confirmed this awakening
opinion; but when through uncomfortable circum-
stances, he became bankrupt in his business, and
dependent her for even the means of subsistence.
he most bitterly cursed the hour he united himself to
this hearess and selfish being. Her servants despis-
ed and her acquaintance avoided her. and the only
visible pleasure she seemed to take in life was in ex-
elusive selfindulgence in which her own husband was
not permitted to share. And Charles Monrose. in
writing to his intimate friend gives him the following
advice, with which we shall close the history of
Charles Montrose and Amanda Elizabeth Sc Never,

FOREIGN NEWS.

A correspondent of the London C0uri-
er, offers the following speculations on
the prospect of the affairs of the East.
81. That redoubts are erection in the
neighbourhood of the Turkish fortresses
by the Russians.
2. That $4,000 are to guard Eastern
Wallachia, and secure it from any serious
invasion.
3. That re-inforcements are coming
down from the interiour of Russia.
A. That General Langeron has fixed
his head quarters at Bucharest for the
winter.
5. That General Roth has gone from
Silistria, with, portion of the troops, to
Varna.
6. That great Russian force is be-
tween Bazardjik and Varna; letter
from Bucharest says so, 900 men, but this
is probably exaggerated.
Z. That the Grand Vizier's head-quar-
tiers were, about the 9Th and 9th Nevem-
Der, at Aidos; and the Turks we're en-
trenching and terrifying that camp. He
hou JoiuCu tHCiO Ny SHdiiU dCil, WHO
commands the new Turkish regulars.
If therefore, the Turks have any seri-
GUS designs of molesting the Russian ar
my encamped near Varna, the next advi-
ces from Constantinople must announce
his having quilted the camp of Aidos with
a heavy battering train. This is most
improbable at this season."
The same Spectator presents the an
nexed conclusions -
i. That the Russians will maintain
the possession of Wallachia, and the moth
ern angle of Bulgaria, keeping strong and
advanced corps every where to watch the
movements Of the Turkish garrisons.
Rather than fail in this, they will move
forward the whole of the Polish army, and
a portion of their new levies..
"2. That they will keep Varna safe
and untouched as the richest jewel in
the Russian Crown.
IS. That the Turks, if wise, will ad-
here to their cautious defensive system,
and make no serious attempts to destroy
the Russian armies or to capture their
