Miss Emily, babe them good morning and
Withdrew, though it must be admitted he
had enjoyed the simplicity Of the rustic.
What pity! lie said to himself as he
turned away, that such pretty little crea-
ture,' (fr despite of her DISCUSSES she was
beautiful, with eyes soft as the doves,
and teeth of pearl. half concealed by such
sweet lips, aud a complexion whose purity
might excite the envy of even the beautiful
Emily Howard what pity that she is so
ignorant, and so singularly devoid of taste
IN her personal adornIngs And her voice
despite the coarse things IT uttered, its mu-
seal sweetness thrilled my heart Well is
IT for her, that she is under the protection
of as influential a man as Mr. Howard for
in this vile city, possessed of such fresh
beauty connected with such ignorance of
the ways of the world it were next TO i'm
possible that she should escape unframed
from the seductive wiles of some one of
those monsters, who are ever on the alert
to lure from virtues path the young and in
nocent'
This is only the commencement, sigh
ed the discounted Emily, as she pressed her
pillow after the first day of endorsements
and notifications had passed, aud know
not where it will end anticipated fuH
enough, but her yerdancy far, far exceeds
IT all. 1t will ruin me, | am snre II will !,
and something must be done. Tomorrow
| will reason with her she Is quite pretty
very pretty-and # can only induce
her to lay aside that gigantic comb, and
those odlous curls, aud do her hair in some
thing of style; aud then, with a httle alter
| ing, Que of my dresses might fit her nicely;
and the mltls aud shoes certainly must be
disposed of, and then am sure she will ap-
pear quite like ady-no, not lady, but
quite decent, | mean. But her foolish pal
aver, that is worse than ALI what can do 2
and the poor girl, finding there was SO much
to be done, d'sparingly sobbed herself TO
sleep.
The following morning she was awaken
ed to her troubles by Louisa, who, without
ceremony entered her sleeping apartment,
exclaiming, Heigho asleep yet What say
for walk ?
Emily would have shaken her Off aud re-
sumed her slumbers, had not the thought
occurred to her, that IN a walk at such an
hour she would not be likely TO encounter
any of her fashionable friends; and hastily
rising, she was soon equipped.
Choosing retired, but a pleasant ave-
Lue, she was carelessly proceeding along,
when aer attention was arrested by gen
lleman, whose elegant figure she could not
mistake 1t was no other than Sir Edward
Walton, the very one, whom, above all 9th
ers, she dreaded and drawing her veil
closely over her face she would have pro.
ceeded without noticing him, had not
Louisa cried out,
Not so fast, Emily here is the very
same Young fellow who was at your house
yesterday he is walking all alone, and he
looks wishlul as if he wanted to 90 with US
Here, Mr.. - what is your name, we are
taking a walk too, aud as you are going the
same way why not 60 with Us 2
With pleasure, replied Sir Edward, bit
ing his lips, never refuse the escort o
ladies'.
How very pretty said Louisa, and as
he smIiugly extended his jewelled hand
their eyes met.
But, notwithstanding the part she was
playing, she was extremely modest, aud he
eyes fell while a modest blush oyerspreaC
her cheek, which was beautiful in the eye
of Sir Edward, although he could not ex
plain such susceptibility from one who woult
hail a stranger aud ask him to walk viii
her. AZ all events, thought he, such ming
ling OF simplicity aud modesty is rare an,
therefore interesting, and just for novelty
sake he resolved to pursue her acquaInt
ance, aud try to draw her out.
In vain he sought to engage Miss How
: ard IA conversation; she was so panied an'
embarrassed she could only reply by mono
syllables; but tie lighl-hearted Louisa chat

r conscious of the trouble she was giving he
