10 her daughters as their invalid uncle
Lizzie, 6eI,ue hr entered, had silently
placed The easirst char with Il stool be
fore IL, IN the pleasantest garner OF the
room, but she allowed her mother and
SISTER to assist him into it without Offering
her aid.
"Nly dear sir" said Mrs. Lincoln,
"you are looking ten years younger than
when last saw you, and So like my poor,
dear husband n'-her husband by the
way had been considered remarkably
handsome man--"Doesnt he Priscilla /!
Doesn't he Lizzie 7"
"Very much," said Priscilla. And
nothing said Lizzie, but walked quietly
out of the room.
"That's singular young person-that
daughter Of yours, ma'am," grumbled
The old gentleman, "don think she takes
much pains TO please her rich uncle"
"Oh my dear sir, you must forgive
her: she is limid to fault. Is she not i,
Priscilla -
"Yes, mamma" answered the echo.
And where did Lizzie go'
My youthful readers, IL yon have not
kind and warm hearts like hers, you
would never guess but ] daie say you
have, and that you would have done the
same thing. She went straight to The
spare chamber appropriated to her uncle,
10 see that everything was arranged for
his comfort, iheu into the garden, whence
she brought fresh fluwers to adorn the
room--then to her own little chamber,
from which she took a bible To lay on the
table by his bed, and then into the ki,ch-
EN- 10 oversee the preparations for his sup

Meanwhile the two young men pursued
their walk and their conversation.

had attracted Lizzie's notice, 81 tell you
the simple truth am weary Of my rank,
my wealth, and the nsuf1rrabe attentions
which they bring upon me from ambitious
daughters and maneuvreing mammas. -
How delicious il would be TO settle quiet
ly down in this charming village, with
such wife as that bright, beautiful, art
less looking girl whom we saw just now
through the window Bu, fear never
shall marry, for shall always be haunted
by the idea that my wealth is the object
Of attraction, Unless Howard have

manly face kindIing and glowing with
enthusiasm, the young earl passed on in
earnest conversation with his friend. -

CHAPTER II.
"Traning my wild hear, to thy loving hand. a"
AT twenty-five years Of aye Charles
Wcliord came to the village Of s.,
poor and unknown, but his mild dig nifty
Of manner, his ptepossessing appearance,
his youthful and handsome countenance,
gained him host of friends, and the small
number of pupils TO which he had limited
himself was snon made no. Mrs. Lin
coin sent Lizzie and Priscilla TO be per-
iected in French and Italian and the
former made wonderfully rapid progress
If not in The languages, at least in the
affections of her teacher.
"AIiss Lincoln" the master would say,
endeavoring, but in vain, TO look stern,
81 shall be Obliged to detain you after
school hours, if you persist in talking and
laughing :" and Lizzie would blush and
maintain deInure countenance for three
minutes and half-then he would hear
the little gipsy buzzing away again, for
the least sound of her sweet voice always
attracted his notice, and calling her to
him with grave face, but inward delight,
point silently to a small char at his side.
Poor Lizzie, half pouting half pleased, !,
"wlih a smile on her lip, but a tear in her
eye" would quietly obey. ] think Liz
for his dark ewes had talked Ia her soul
a language more pleasant than French
or ltaIian-aiier looking earnestly up to
them for moment to discover If he were
really offended - rcassured by the glance
OF aGrciionate interest which he returned
10 her nquiring gaze, she would study
for hours by his side, happy, and tran
quill, and silent as dove in its wood
land nest
Now and then, when she bad been
more than usually wild and uncontrolla-
BILE, Mr. Wexford would feel il his duty
to de,ain her after the other pupils had
left, in order to give her a serious lecture
upon the lightuess of her conduct: but
the serious lecture generally ended in a
long ramble through the woods, after
flowers to assist their botanical studies
And during these rambles, they would
lcon6de to each others sympa,hizing
heaiis their memories, hopes, their tastes
and preferences. Lizzie with all the
simpie, truslful tenderness Of child, and
Charles with the lrankness natural to
spirit still fresh, pure and unlrammelled.
"Do you know. Mr.. Wexford" said
Lizzie one day, 81 would give great
deal that my uncle was poor ?"
"Poor Lizzie what strange
wish Why 7"
ooh, because-ho is so i'll, and cross,
and unhappy that pity him from my
heart, and | would be so very, very kind
to him if he were not rich ; but as il is,
mother makes me treat him coldly."
"Hew ] do not understand you. !
,bought she WAS all attention TO him, and
