person properly qualified for the task
The plan stuck me as a good one, anC
ever since, | have been trying to think
of some young woman who might answer
the purpose. But | can recollect nc
one who is not in some respects object
ionablc, and have, therefore, concluded
that it would be best to make my wishes
known through the columns of a newspa-

well, mention the qualifications you
deem necessary
'Sbe must, of course, besides the
common English branches, be able to
teach French and music. Ellen can al
ready play tolerably we'll on the piano,
and would like to take lessons en- the
harp, while Agnes and little Kate have
made considerable progress in French,
and have already neglected music too
long
What would professor of one of
our colleges think, if he were required
to teach so many different things = said
Sedley. Il don't know-but COVER

He made no further rcmark, and the
subjoincd advertisement was soon writ

When Sedley had written it, (not for.
getting to append the name of the street
and the number) he read it to his sister.
Will it do p he asked
'Yes, though it would have been well
enough to have mentioned that one who
could give lessons on the harp, would
be preferred

Well, let the advertisement be as it

When Sedley Eustace returned to
his sisters, he found Miss Claribel Lar
pent there. Mrs. Onslow expressed
herself none too strongly when she call
ed her the fascinating Claribel.'
Her complexion clear and delicate,
and her faultlcss features would have
been nothing without the charm of her
manner. Aud yet, it would have been
difficult to tell in what that charm con-
sisted. Though she said little that would
have borne to be repeated, it was, by
some means, delightful to listen to her
pleasant nothipgs. There was that in
her air and voice, which prevented them
from appearing either stupid or insipid
In dress her taste was perfect. She
knew exactly what celors harmonized
with her complexion, and she would
wear a shawl, with what had been imag-
ined the unapproachablc grace of
French woman.
Yet it could not be denied, that, at
times she permitted herself to be excess
lively disagreeable. This was a secret,
however, known 20 few beyond the fami-
ly circle to which sho belonged. Mrs.
Onslow, ever since she had become ac-
quainted with her, had been ambitious

a look even-without pretending to de-

grace ascribed to her, rather avoided
