she loved her more for that. "Now,"
thought she, 81 can have some one to
talk with mo OF that blessed place,
where my parents are gone" and she
repeated aloud these beautiful words:
I'VE know that the bowers arc green and fair
IN the light OF that summer shore
Ana we know that the iends we have lost are hsre,-
They hre there, and they weep no more.
Helen then spoke OF the unrcvealed
my s,eries ot the land uI the bl,si, and
her language, so simple, yet Sd be au,i-
iul, fell like rich music upon the ears Of
one who hnd heard nothing but the
senselcss talk of her companions from
one year 10 another.
But the gathering shadows warned
them TO return-and as they walked to-
wards the house, encircIng each others
waists, they promised to m,et there again
on the next evening And the seasons
Of recreation found these too young la
dies seeking and enjoying each others
society.
! But poor Mary Bowers forfeited the
favor of the supercilious Miss Moreton,
by associaiing with the poor stranger,
and many Of her companions wondered
how she could love so gloomy md un-
sociable a person, for Mary had in vain
endeavored to convince them that they
were mistaken in the opinion they had
formed Of her new friend.
! 1T WAS near the close Of the term that
distant cousin, aud congratulated her
upon being the schoulmnte OF 80 amia-
hIe aud distinguished person ~ the
couned daughter Of Governor Olcott.
The letter dropped from her hands:
, "What II fool | have becn!" cried
she have forfeited the friendship
of this accomplished young lady be-
cause | thought her poor"
But it was too late lor her to repent,
her advances were met by Miss Olcott
with politeness, but coldly. In amaze
nent she learnt that Mary Bowers was
to return homo with her, though the warm
hearted girl was as ever, unconscious
who she WAS going Without she had no
home and, having formed m attachment
TO her, she determined 10 accept her re-
pcated invitations.
Julia Moreton carefully concealed the
contents of her letter, until che saw a
splendid carriage drive of with Miss Ol.
colt, her brother, and her friend, Mary
Bowers, and then she disclosed the Sc
crs,. Nor did it lessen her chagrin al
all, when several months after, she re-
ceved another long letter from her cou-
sin, saying that the young Indy who had
I returned from school with Miss Olcot
had become great favori,c in the FAM.
! ly-lhat the Governor wished 10 adop
the orphan IA his daughter, and It wa
thought very probable he would, n
there were great preparations making
for the nuptiaIs.-

be heard among the lashionablcs III th'
city Of Washington but The splendid
dresses Of the two beautiful brides, and
then followed long story about ro.
mantle friendship they had formed al
scho"l. and the happy consequences.
! This was sad but eFrctual lcsSor
for poor Julia More,on, who, though sh,
AT last married a merchant, and wa,
we'll settled in small village in New
Eng land the first lesson sue taught he
+ children, was to treat all worthy person
with respect, in whatever s,,ua,inn sh
might find them, she often reverted y
her former naughty feelings, and N
unhappy consequences ot them, sh
said, was the reward Of her pride.
