THINGS HARDLY 70 BE BELIEVED.
BY MRS. LYDIA JANE PEIRsoN.

'WelI, | declare, this is hardly 10 be be
lieyedl' exclaimed Mrs. Graudy, as sh
threw down letter which she had been pc
rnsing, and turned toward hel daughter, whc
was reclining on crimson cushloncC
lounge, in the most approved style Of dress
attitude, and expression. The young lady
lifted her jeweIIed hand, and raised her
sleepy lidded eyes with enquiring interest
as she brealhed forth in an affected tone o
music,
Pray wha, have you found, dear man.
ma! | am longing for something 10 chase q,

IL is hardly to be believed, repeat AUi
na.-your uncle Meek has written mr, tia
he intends to send his daughter Lucy, u

10 receive her. for she is my sisters rhid
but, dear me! wha, shall we do with he

How came your sister to marry farm

why Amina, while pa was a senator,

ton. one winter, and there we met Mr.
Meek, young and talented member of con
gress. Your aunt was capIivaied by his
fine person., real eIoQuence and open, man
~ character; and although she knew that he
was only farmer at home, she persisted in
becoming his wife SO he took herto his home
in the new State Of Ohio, & | have not seen
her since; for she soon became a mother. and
has several children, so that she was con-
fined al home, and | have been so very del.
icale in health, that never dared TO brave
such a journey. But she used 10 write lre
quenIly, and although she always professet
herself perfectly happy, she gave such de.
scrlplions Of her domestic affairs, that aG
sure should have been utterly miserable
in her situation. And this daughter Of hers
who milks the cows, and makes butter anC
cheese; and spins yarn, and weaves cloII
and bakos bread and washes clothes, ant
scrubs floors way she must be a grea
slOu, looking creature like man, with sun
burnt face, and coarse hands and feet, an,
voice like market woman. And then she
will be 50 awkward-oh deaf! what shal
we do with herr
Why ma, you really frighlen me; 20,
must not let her come, certainly, couI,
never introduce such a cousin to society
and certainly would not loregO all pleasure
and remain at home with her.
Il cannot refuse to receive her, dear Ami
na-bul she is so unsophislicaed, that w
can do with her as we please. II we caI
make nothing pIesenlable Of her, why ",
can keep her out of sight. But it will cos
me so much to dress her. Of course sh
will have no clothes fI TO be seem
