Although Mr Brown is scarcely "a
greater iavorite with us than with his fair
slstcI-in-law, We must do him the justice
to say that he was n man Of unblemished
reputation, (and considering that he had
made his fortune by the pennies, that IL
no small praise) clear-headed in the
affairs Of business, and shrewd in his
Judgments of men. Qniet in his general
manncrs, it was only when brought par
IticularIy in contact with him that you
were forced to notice his deiiciencies.-

is a boast Of mcn who have made
themselves without the aid Of friends or
extraordinary opportunities, owing their
success to their industry, perseverance,
economy, and shrewd coIumon srnse.- -
That Clara, however, should think that
man Of the lowest origin, whose very
childhood, we had almost said infancy,
had been passed IN putting little gains
together, whose youth and manhood had
been unremiliingly devoted to the same
object, until success had crowned bis ci-
forts beyond even his most sangmine ~
pectations, was, even with the merits We
have admitted him to possess, no fit match
for g,l OF her sisters highly-educatca
and naturally quick mind, cultivated
tastes, and elegant manners, is not sur
prising. Clara, perhaps from the cir.
cumstances Of her attachment to larry,
partly perhaps from less quick suscep-.
,lbliiy to the various little notifications
and prvalions OF home; may have un-
derrated the advantages Of wealth. aa
much as Emma had overrated them.
! Emma had now been married fort
night, and was to see company NJ her
own house. Clara had appointed no
particular day TO receive her visitors, as
she well knew that few of her gay friends
would put themselves out of the way In
look her up in an obscure street aud
small house. She therefore was at lib
cry, with The rest OF the world, to call
on her sister
She had scarcely turned the corner OF
the street where Emma lived, when sho
saw the long line of carriages that stood
before her door, TILL they reached halt
way down the square. 1t almost seemed
as # It must be some public occasion, -
Clara made her way through the crowds
that filled tie spacious drawing rooms,
Till she reached her sister. ESquisitely
dressed, very much excited, and COM
|plelcly graifcd, never had Emma looked
handsomer. There were crowds oi
pretty women aud gay men; aud all
greeted Clara cordially, Tor both she and
Harry were favortes but their fdtler-
inn emprcssmcnt and eager attentions
were reserved for Emma She was
now at the head of the most brilliant cs-
rahlishncnt IN the city and what DIN
