a tale of trulh, in which only the names fictitious
Julia Snmmervile was the daughter of
very respectable father, who died when she was
young and left her to the care Of one Of the best
Of mothers, who spared 10 pains in Installing
into the mind Of Julia those noble principles OF
honor and virtue, which are at once the dia-
dems of female beauty; and she neglected not
to mould her manners, as well as her mind, so
as to give her that gcntencss, that amiabhty,
that Witchlng, winning, captivating non cha
lance, which render some ladies' the idols and
angels of polished society, and which qualities
are not always found in the most aristocratic
circles but az often adorn the humble as the
naughty.
julia Summervile was truly the idol of her
fond mothers heart and of all those who were
bound to her by kindred tics, or who had bow
cd to the magic of her beauty. AS | observed
before, she had winning suavity Of manner
perfect witchery in the glance of her exqui-
site eye, which once observed could never be
forgotten. Her beauty was not of that kind
which captivates at glance the heart Of the
beholder, like splendid painting, and on which
the eye after while becomes tired of gazing;
but it was of that indescribabe order, and had
in it what the French call je ge seals quoi-a
something we cannot tell what, which does not
entrance the soul in q moment, or win the
heart at 6rstsight, but which gradually grows
in our affections, until it winds around the
heart, by imperceptiblo degrees, the chain of
lasting love. The features of Julia were not
cast IN the exact mould of Groclan regularity
the lines of which blend into one unvarying
picture, which is too often like painting, soul
less; but hers were like the beautiful pictures
Of the Kaleidoscope, ever varying through the
operations of the mind, for expression was the
charm of her beauty, and that expression was
no less than tho Light of AN amable and
cultivated mind. So much did expression
change the cast OF her countenance, that her
beauty was ever new, and the eye Of the be-
holder never grew tired in gazing.
A young merchant in the neighborhood in
which Julia resided, had often observed her as
she passed, and was pleased with the sweet
inodesty of her demeanor, as we'll as the soft,
soul-lit expression Of her face, and the beauti-
ful symmetry of her person. lnsensibly he be-
.ame more and more fascinated with that love-
Nv being, who crossed his path like an angel of
ca, 'ih, and ere he was aware OF it, his heart
was Teasing on the delicious luxury Of love-
The little god had stolen in, while he was
dreaming of tho charms of her, who was be-
cominL' the idol as we'll as the angel OF his
souls il 'olatry. Henry Freeland (for such was
the nam sof the young merchant wasa stranger
both to Ave ecstasies and the agonies of love.
He had n,'ver until now, seen female lowell
ness that co uld for moment chain his heart,
and hence, t,tough captive to Ju!ia's charms,
he imagined himself free, thus proving that
love is an inv, 'luntary passion, and may gain
admittance to tn heart ere we are aware oiits
presence.
Henry Freeland had nothing to disturb the
equanimity of his isind. He was easy in his
circumstances, and o. a happy disposition; con-
stitu!ed by nature to Look on the bright side of
