AUNT ELoIsE.

Harriet was busy with her composition
when her aunt, who was on a visit to Mrs.
Carlton, entered the room. Aunt Eloise
was a weak minded and weak hearted lady
oil a very uncert1in age-unhappily gifted
with more sensibility than sense. She
really had a deal of feeling-for herself
and an Utmost inexhaustable shower oftears,

some trouble Of the kind, which quite pre-
cluded the propriety of asking her aid.
Every morning at breakfast, Aunt Eloise
edIied the family with a wonderful dream.
which the breakfast-bell had interrupted.
and every evening she grew sentimental
over the "reminiscences which the TWILIGHT
hour had awakened. II was then that
innumerable shades of former admirers
arose. Some doubted if they had ever
been more than shades; but Aunt Eloise
certainly knew best about that, and who
had a right to deny that Mr.. Smith had
knelt to her in pity; that Col. Green had
vowed an eternal alteration; and that LAW
yer Lynx had laid his heart, his hand, and
ms lees, which were not quite a fortune, at
her feet!
Aunt Eloise had been-at least she him

She thought and avowed herself e~xtraya-

childhood, and imagined that she displayed
graceful enthusiasm in exclaiming, every
now and then, in her presence, and in that
others, oh! you angel child! do think
she IS the sweetest creature! Come here
and kiss me, you beauty &c. &c. But no
one ever saw Aunt Eloise taking care of

ng any thing for its benefit. The only tam
ylble proof of her affection for her neice. was
n the shape o%fbonbons and candy, which she
vas in the habit of bringing home from her
frequent walks in fremont street. Harriet
'egularly handed these forbidden l~uxuries

Isn't 1t a pity to waste such nice things.

Mother motherl exclaimed a sweet, ca.

teen years, burst into the room where Mrs.
Carlton sat at work, don't you think there

Mrs. Carlton drew the little Girl towards
her, and smoothed back the rcbellious curls.

drawn sigh, MY dear Harriet, how YOU do
