1t was not very long afterward that,
while sitting near the folding door Of
the parlor, she heard voice, the sound
of which her ear well remembered, say:

Il can well believe you; though
would hardly like to say as much for
the fascinating Sarah Matilda Ellen,
wha! do you call herr
Sarah Matilda heard no more, for the
conversation between the two young
men ceased at that point.
Cotillions were formed soon after,
but Sarah Matilda was not to be found
when the sets were made up. She had
retired in confusion, and a, the moment
when the dancers formed themselves on
the floor, she WINS in the chamber at
home, with her fnery scattered in dis
order around her, and herself drowned
in tears.
Nothing could have more aslounded
her than the words of the young men.
The sneering remarks of the elegant
doctor seemed, for few moments, as
if they would drive her mad How
she got out of the brilliantly lighted
parlors, or how she found her way
home, she could scarcely tell. But Sa.
rah Matilda Ellen Jones was an altered
girl from that time. Scales had fallen
from her eyes, and she saw every OBJ
ject around her in a new light. She
had sought to make an impression, and
had succeeded; but it was a shocking
bad impression; and OF this she was toe
fully sensible TO permi. feeling o
vanity or even sclf-complacency L
take possession Of her mind.
She did not meet the doctor agail
for two months; and then, so changed
was she in her whole exterior and man
ner, that he did not know her. In thu
mean time. he had commenced paying
marked attention TO Florence; but
hint from friend tina, she was engaged
and the wedding day already appoint
ed, caused him 10 abandon all design
in that quarter. On his second meet
ing with Sarah Matilda, he found he
really an interesting and rather an ia
telligent girl, and ere he guessed VIII
she really was, had permitted himse
10 feel an interest in her favor.
