ron. which he had brought in his hand.
He had done himself the pleasure Of bring>
ing the book which Miss Smith desired.
NJ SIS Smith was delighted-would Mr.. Gil
bert oblige her by reading few pages, if lie
was not too much engaged-she had been in-
formed that be read beautifully.
Mr. Gilbert would be too happy, but the light
was so dim that he must sit by the " wndow-so
moving his chair with the seIt-possasson Of a
man accustomed to have his own way-he sat
down within few PAGES Of Ida. She did not
look up, but the most delicate Of all bushes
broke into her check, and the young man saw
that her fingers were little tremnous, as she
bent diligently over her work. lie seemed busy
searching for favorte poem, and Miss Smith
took advantage OF the opportunity 10 let down
quantity of black hair, which the mulilated
pattern had failed to render more than wayey,
and giving her hounccs a slight shake, she
drew her chair to the window, ordered Ida to
place Il block for her ee' and folding her hands
with graceful languor composed herself to
listen.
1t would be quite superfuous TO say how many
times the sensitive Miss Smith lifted her hands
and exclaimed Beautiful Exquisite! Oh
how sweet = while the reading of Chde Harold
went on; or t, give any description Of the color
which glowed and deepened in the cheek OF our
Lda and the pleasure which filled those soft
eyes till they sparkIed like gems beneath her
dropping lashcs. But is quite unnecessary to
inform the reader that after this rainy day. Mr..
Gilbert was a constant visitor at the millincl's
shop--that he read Chide Harold quite through,
and when Miss Smith solicited some OF the
shorter poems, he looked at Ida and answered
no. he would read them to Miss Smith, but rot
there. Miss Smith was delighted with this in
dication that her ncighbor desired a III }-7-iete,
aud Ida who heard Byron for the first time
though she had read more than girls Of herage
was quite unconscious of the compliment
paid 10 her purity of character in the denia.
The lawyer had large library, and there was
no lack Of books for perusal. Ida seldom
spoke while lie was reading, but it was pleasant
for an iudolent and refined man like Gilbert to
study the changes of her sweet face. 1t was
like Il volume OF 'unwrten poetry which no
one could read but himself In less than 4
week his easy chair was wheeled into the mlIIi
ner's room every day, and he was quite dOmes~
ticated among the straw trimmings. scraps Of
satin, and paste-bJard chips, that Uttered the
floor.
4 scene Of arist0cratc distinction is a r.
markabIc pleasant feeling, but in Vrder TO ENJOY
it perfectly, there must be some companionsljp.
