UNWRTTTEN PHILOSOPHY.

"Wher | first came here, my hosts eldest
daughter was about twelve years of age She
was, without being beautiful, an engaging
child, rather disposed to be contemplating,
and, like all children at that age, very inquis-
tive and curious. She was shy at first, but
soon became acquainted with nae, and would
come into my room in her idle hours, and
look at my pictures and read. She never
disturbed me, because her natural pohteness
forbade it. and pursued my thoughts or my
studies just as If she was not there, till, by
and by,I grew fond Of her quiet company,
and was happier when she was moving
stealtaily around. and looking here and
there into book in her quiet way.
"She had been my compassion thus for
some time, when it occurred to me that |
might be OF use to her in leading her to cult
yate a love for study. seized the idea en-
Enthusiastically. Now thought Ii will see the
process Of hupan mind / have studied its
PHILOSOPHY from books, and now will take
single original, and compare them, step by
step. / have seen the bud, and the flower
full blown, and am told that the change
was gradual, and Effected thus--leaf after
leaf Now win watch the expansion, and
while water it and let in the sunshine to its
bosom, detect the secret springs which move
to such beautiful results. The idea delighted
me.
"Iwas aware that there was great drudge
ry in the first steps, and determined to a.
void it, and connect the idea Of my own
instruction with all that was interesting
and beautiful in her mind. For this purpose
II persuaded her father to send her to better
school tllaH she had been accustomed to at
tend, and by little conversation, stimulated
her TO enter upon her studies with alacrity.
"She was now grown to a girl, and had
begun to assume the naire, womanly airs
which girl. do at her age Her figure had
rounded into flowing symmetry, and her
face, whether from assoeiating prlncipaily
with an older person, or for what other rea-
son know not, had assumed thoughtful
cast. and she was really = curl of most inter-
estiag and striking personal appearance.
81 did not expect much from the first year
of my experiment, calculated justly on its
being irksoms aud common place. Still j
was amused and interested. Icouid hear her
light step on the stair, always at the same
|early hour ofthc evening, and il was apleas-
ure TO me to say, Some in to her tlmd rap,
and set hera chair by my own, that might
look over her book, or talk in low tone to
her. then asked her about her lessons, and
|, found out what had most attracted her no,
Ace, and eosld always find some interesting
fact connected with it, or strike off into some
pleasant association, till she acquired hatst
