the insulted girl, i will call her,
Reader, wouldst thou know who this
servant girl might be Of whom we have
been chattIng2 Well, listen and iii tell
thee. Didst ever hear Of William K
once a very wealthy shipping merchant
of New York, who through multiplied
losses was exiled from the dominions of
wealth, and consequently fashion, and
for many years dwelt obscurely in a
country village with the only remnant
Of once large family, a charming
daughter. THIS was the very child. At
the age Of ten she became an orphan,
but not friendless. The gentemanly
character OF ther father even in poverty,
had won the esteem of all, and this last
survivor Of mis- accumulated misfortunes
found home and friend with a weal-
thy country gentleman. She grew up
to womanhood beautiful and accom-
plished, and beloved by all the family as
sister and child. But death claim
ed her adopted mother as his, and her
prospects changed. The woman who
supplied her place few months after
wards was her anIipode, and Amanda
K stepped forth into the wide world
dependent upon physical strength alone
for subsistence. Blu, the good wishes
of her adopted family went with Ler and
situation IN the family ofCapt Bacon
was secursd TO her, al which place the
reader will recoIlect lie or she found her.

filled with truly brilliant assemblage.
Tharo were red cheeks in profusiOn,
some painted by nature and others by
art. Bright eyes in abundance, some
sparkling with intelligence, others with
Joyous excitement, and among the
rougher sex many with vine. Mitlh
and hilarity bore regal sway, until a
discovery was made-a discovery con-
sldered by that Assembly OF equal IN
poriance 10 Hershel's Luner observa-
tions. The dance was suspended not>
wlthstand'ng Sambo still sawed his cat
gut, and whisper ran throguh the
crowd. The purse proud vjnegar-faced
Mrs. b. had the honor of making
the dIscovery-a discovery in which was
involved the reputation OF all present. 1t
was nothing less Than the lamenable
TACT that Amanda Il, the servant
girl Of Capt. Bacon had impertnen,ly
rntruded herself into the company of her
bet!ers and actually danced two coll-
lions with them before the degraded
truth was known.
'Dld you ever see such impertinenceP
says one.
What brazen thiug!' said another,
Why see how she's dressed said,
a third.
Such character y whispered a
forth. They say-but never mind now.'
"A pol>sle"er in our company-the
wench! y chlmed in Mrs. L. with
that elegance OF expression which char
acterized her, and turning up her nose,
advised the ladies' to leave the room
and no longer be iDsuhed with her pres
ence. This advice was aSsenled to by
'he WteHSCHt company, ana the poor,
but infinitely superior girl was left alone
-abashed, confused, and almost over-
come with emotion. He who Invited
her thither was the son of her adopted
father, who united with intelligence a
graceful and genllemaDly department
aud the command OF extensive possess
sions in one OF the most fertile portions
Of our State. He was absent when the
revolution in the ball room took place,
but returned just as II was evacua-
ted by the ladies. Astonished al the
change, and perceiving Amanda siand-
ing with face suffIsed with bushes, he
hastily inquired the cause. A friend
drew him aside and communicated the
facts as have peuned them.-The
young man was eDraged and with an
emphasis adequate 10 his just excite
ment he exclaimed, What's that purse
proud fool-that ignorant parrot Of fash
ion worth, who scorns virtue because
