THE
TRIALS OF PROSPERITY
An fnterrsttng Talc.
by MISS A. NJ. BR9WNE.


How shall l begin my "a lc The
Lady Margarctta, like most heroines,
was very beautiful, and, like the Insilc
hcroinp of lhe old song, her face was
her fortune" For, though her noble
father, the Count Morona, could trace
his long line Of ancestry upto the flood,
he left his daughter little more income
than might suffice To supply her with
feathers, wells, fans, and such graceful
articles of female decoration. She had.
however, n cousin who, having stained
the noble blood Of the Moronas by ally
ing herself to wealthy banker IN
Rome, had never been permitted To aP-
proach Margarclta during her fathers
lifetime. This relative was good-na-
tufcd, kind-hcaitcd, parsonage, not
withstanding her plebeian marriage,
and, when poor Margaretla found her
self at sixteen an almost portionless or
phan, when her noble friends kept a'"oi.
and her patrican connections recon-
mended convent as the best and safest
place for her future residence, tho ban
ker's dame ended the matter by offering
her the subs,aniial advantages Of IA
home and protector.
True il was, TINT this good Samaritan
had neither an elegant person, nor re-
fined manners. Notwithstanding her
illustrious birth, she had evidently far
more enjoyment as the busting, impor-
tant wife Of the wealthy man Of bm i
ness, than she would have experienced
in the graceful languor of fine lady
existence. But she promised from the
first that, if Margnrcita would ACCEPT
the shelter of her homc, she would nGi-
thcr seek to control her movements,
nor interfere with her pursuits; and
she kept her word. Even when Sisnor
Nallina, the richest old miscr in Rome,
preferred himself and his riches to The
fair orphans acceptance, her worthy
hostess intcrlcred no further with her
decision than To hint that it was pity
! to throw away so excellent Il match,
and, with sundry shrugs and signs, IT,
wonJcr what the world would come to
at last
/ Many people said that Margarctia
was proud as we'll as poor, because she
seldom mixed in scenes of cxtravagant
gaicty, was fond Of the quiet of her
own chamber, and, above all had re-
fused the Slgnor Vnllina; but, verify, ~
the evil sense Of the word, she was not
proud. She was uniformly kind aud
courteous, and gcullc, to every living
creature. In proportion To her slender
means, her charities were large, for
she was never too poor 10 give, even
when lrcr generosity called for the cx
crcise of scll-dcnial Many pretty
4 toy, many a new trinkct, did she fore
90, that the sun InId apor, for It's pur-
/ chase might be converted inio food aud
/ raiment for the poor Not one oi these
I would have accused her of haughiIncsS.
Yet It was not that Margar,tta vas uu-
aware of her own beauty, or indifferent
10 its adotnmcnt. When she did np-
/ pear in public, she was always dcslrouS
of appearing to advantage, and 1t was
universally acknowledged, even NY
those who denied the superiority ol hrl
personal charms. that her taste ~ dr.r,
was perlcci.--Thetelorc, the sacrifice
