"You are not going to the tavern,
tather?" said she to HIM.
''Is i; with a young girl like you?
Do you think me brute2" said the
man. The heart, after all, is the best
teacher Of what is becoming.
a Gabrille knew how to read, and dur.
ing their walk she related 10 her faith.
er number of little stories which a.
mused him, and made him forget the
tavern. The next week, the mason's
family had enough to eat; and the
week after, from the united earnings Of
father and daughter, the children were
able to be sent to school; in short. at
the end of the month, the aspect OF this
dwelling formerly the abode of misery,
tears, and quarrels, was quite altered;
and the com panions ofthe mason, miss
ing him from his old haunt, began jeer-
ing him; but he told them what his
daughter had done.
$50 good daughter ought to make
a good wife," cried rich miller who
had been listening to him. 81 have an
only son, and right glad would be ii
you would give her to him. Good
sense, gentlemen, and modesty, are
better m the poor mans house than
riches."' And immediately, without
even inquiring whether Gabrille were
ugly or pretty, he demanded her in
marriage for his son.
Gabrielle is now the wife Of rich
miller. She is the mother of children,
and blessing to her husbands family,
as she had been to her own. Those
lips, which had never uttered but
words of patient gentleness and sense
beyond her age, are no longer strangers
to smiles; and the rosy hue Of health
again tinges the cheek which had faded
under early hardships and over toll.
Gabriile is still living.

The Apprentice Girl.
FRoMTHE FRENCH or EUGENE FoA.
RKNa r AT Il

FROM THE FRENCH OF EUGENE FoA.
The warerooms of Madame Camille,
one Of our most fashionable Partisan
milliners, had one day received an ad-
ditional apprentice. Her name was
Gabrielle. Her father was a mason,
and, like too many Of the working
classes, drank on Sunday what he had
earned during the week. Her mother
did the best she could to support her
family, and found il hard matter with
fhe little she earned. -
Gabrielle had suffered such misery
from her cradle, that she had never
known that youthful spring which usu-
ally makes to children the mere con-
sciousness Of existence a joy. an am
ma, what nice thing it is to be aliver'
once said child to her mother, as she
bounded before her. Gabrielle was
sixteen. and knew not what smile
was. Her fair but faded cheek bore
an impression Of suffering and quiet re-
signa1un, which was more affecting
thaa-any open denTou7t@ation Of grief.
The child contrasted the house OF hos
mistress-the abode Of order, economy,
and industry, and consequently OF ease
and comfort; with her own home, where
reigned every, kind Of wretchedness that
poverty and disorderly habits could
produce, and where reproaches-most
just, il is true, but consequently the
more painful gave rise to mutual re-
crimination between husband and wife.
: One evening among others, the wife
was complaining that the mason had
not given her all he earned. r~
Il should have nothing to drink, if !
did,; replied the husband.
The dispute was beginning to get
warm; Gabrielle whispered to her faith.
er, Il give my mother half OF what |
earned, father to buy clothes for my
brothers and sisters; will give you the
other half for drink"
- Thank you my chile" said the faith
er, who accordingly took the money
from the daughter, and went out ssq
But this man, who could drink with
out any scruple the fruit of his own
labor, felt kind of remorse in expend,
ing at the tavern the money which
had been earned by his daughter; and
when he drew from his pocket the hard
Gained pieces which the slight, delicate
hand Of his, daughter had placed in his,
the sound of them, as they jingIed on
the counter, went 10 his very heart,
and that evening for wonder, he re-
turned home sober. How much NAV
be accomplished by kind looks and
words, when oil remonstrarces fail i
A .trif:ng act of kindness, with look
Of affection, had smitten the feelings Of
the hitherto reckless father. =
: The following evening. after having
in a similar manner received the. half
ofGabrielle's earnings, the mason went
ont; but he had hardly taksn a few steps
whenahe came back. "Gabrielle," said
be, s'come, and we win take d walk in
the county.
Gabrielle started up with alacity.
