Emily was awakened to her troubles by Louisa
who without ceremony entered the sleeping a
partment eXcIaiming:
'Heigho! asleep yet! what say you for &
walk ?
Emily would have shaken her off and resu-
med her slumbers. had not the thought REQUIRED
to her, that a walk at such an hour she wou}d
not be likely to meet any of her fashionable
friends, and hastily rising, she was soon equip
ped.
Choosing a retired but pleasant avenue, she
was carelessly proceeding along when her at
tenIion was arrested by gentleman, whose ele-
giant figure she could not mistake
1t was no other than Sir Edward Walton, the
very one whom above all others, she dreaded
and drawing her veil closely over her face she
would have proceeded without noticing him. had
not Louisa cried out:
Not SO fast Emily here is that very same
young fellow who was at your house Yesterday
he is walking all aone and he looks wisEduI as
if he wanted to 90 with US, Here Nh. -,
taknga walk, too, and as You are going the same
way why not 90 with MS 2
With pleasure replied Sir Edward biting his
lips, never refuse to escort the ladies'
How very pretty said Louisa, and as he ex-
tended his jewelled hand, their eyes met.
Bat notwithstanding the part she was PLAYING,
she was extremely modest--an1 her eyes fell,
Wi!i'ca mOlastblnsh overspread her CHI eek, which
was beautiful in the eyes Of Sir Edward although
he could not explain such susceptibility from one
who would hail stranger and ask him to walk
with her. At all events such mnoling Of sim
piicity and modeSty is rare, and therefore inter
eatiug, and Just for noveltys sake nc resolved to
pursue her acquaintance and draw her out
In vain he sought to engage Miss Howard in
conversation, she was so paired and embarrassed
She could reply only in monosvllableS, but the
LIGHT hearted Louisa carried on RIGHT mcrrily, ap-
parcnlly unconscious of the trouble she was civ
ing her companion.

timely beautiful Look again, dear Euiy. what
work OF art can cqHal natures sweet adornings :;
how rich, how glorious are the varied hues and

For a moment she gazed lost in admiration,
while Sir Edward viewed with surprise and an
interest almost amounting 20 tenderness, the III
teIlectual face beaming with the poetic enihusi-
asm of her feelings. As she turned her soul-lit
eyes upon him his tender gaze recalled her, again
her eyes fell, and deep blush oycrspread her
face.
Emily was even more surprised than Sir Ed
ward, and percevng the favorable impression
made on bis mind, (Which she wonld not dissi-
pate though she believed it momentary,) she half
resolved to lei pride alone love her for what she
was, and independently brave public opinion
Bat alas pride had gained too strong a hold up
on her heart, and during the reception of the
morning callers she found herself as much an
noyed, on the previous day.
Immediately after dinner she took the arm of
Louisa and drawing her away said:
Come let us 90 and prepare for the evening
You don't mean for me to prepare said Loui-

You look well for the country, bat city people
dress differently, aud when you are here You
should try to initiate them both in dress and man

much attention.
i have no sort Of objection to attracting attcn-

the dressing maid to fix your hair little more
like mine ? impIorcd Emily
