were born and educated-where they had
known many joys and more sorrows-and
where, since there fathers death and their con-
s.quent reverse of fortune, they had most sue
cessfully educated Others. Highly cultivated
and beautiful minds they had truly respect

knew them. Miss Rutherford was rather

ways, her sweet and joyous spirit, a sun

quaint, old-fashioned house more than mile
from the solitary village Of W, in Herts.
When first went there, what happy, soci-
able little company we were-neyer exceed

Saturday evening; just after the midsummer
vacation, we were sitting round Miss Annes
table, in the window recess, selecting our mc-

said, alas my sister told you we are expect

merriest little chatterbox of our party; "but
what are their names, dear Miss Anne. and
when do they Gomez"
"The eldest is Julia Andrews; the other
Marion Herbert: both come from the sam
town."
"Julia and Marion. shall like Marion

"JuIia comes on Monday; Miss Herbert
the following Saturday"
That night we went up stairs full of talk
all kinds of speculation about the new com
ers. Monday afternoon brought Miss An
drews. Miss Anne had the happiest way in
the world of setting strangers at ease, SO Ju-
liza was soon introduced to each of u.s. and
Susan, that same evening, was her guide thro'
house, garden, shrubberies, with 3. much frank
ness and freedom rs if they were old friends
We meantime had made our observations on
the stranger, and formed different private opin-
ions. We all agreed she was beautiful-but
very haughty-looking. Atthe end of q week,
this opinion was strongly confirmed.-aso,
that there was (. touch Of osteatatation in her
way of speaking of her home and friends.
Susan was her chosen companion; she was
sure to be the first friend of any new conner
Saturday afternoon came and with it Marion
Herbert. Julia caught glimpse Of her as
she entered the hall, and turning round to us

We looked up in amazemant at her angry

l must explain who and what Mr. Herbert
was, and how much truth there was in Ju-
las expressions. He rose from an humble
station to an artist ofsome cminencc, gen
orally residing in his native town of L.
Having amassod considerable property he
gave up his pro ess on, and went to reside
with his only child in small, but beautifully
situated cottage, near town. Here he devo-
ted himself t. the education Of his motheress
daughter, and to aI public objects of philan-
thropy. His teliow-townsmen were astoniSh-

than painting. 1t WAS Mr.. Herbert who so
ably formed and conducted improvement
