THE OLD MAIDS STORY.
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF 4 CoUN.
TRY GIRL.
BY CLARA AUGUSTA.


Will you cast down my humble histo.
ry when 1 tell you that in my youth, a.
well as in age, I was plain, hopelessly
plain /? My face was thin, almost to
emac;ation, and of sallow unhealthi-
ness. My eyes were unnaturally large,
and my lips were pale and colorless.
My health was bad, and my mind was
always in low state. I was senseless
almost to folly; and shrank from strau-
gers with that instructive horror, which
even now thrills me ct the touch of an
unknown hand.
I was an orphan; lonely and alone; 1
lived with a maiden aunt, in the dark
depths of pine forest, near Blackwa-
| ter.
The influences which surrounded my
childhood were cold and chilling, uufa-
vorable to the Development of my social
or intellectual faculties. My aunt was
kind to me, that is, she gave me food
and clothes, aud carte blanche as to, the
disposal of my time.
The library at Pine Forest was very
limited /; Bible, prayer book, few an
cient histories, and an old romance,
whichlI had read and re.read until every
word was impressed upon my memory
It told of many characters, but passed
them all over to think of one noble digni.
fed, and godlike. 1 loved that charac-
ter. I worshiped an ideal. 1 cared not
whether the form and face were hand
some or ugly; it was the noble attri-
butes of the soul which I loved.
OF more actual love I knew nothing;
I bad reached my eighteenth year. I
had never even a boy playmate. To
school I had never been; my aunt had
taught me to read and write, and some
of the more ordinary female accomplish
ments.
But a new chimera penetrated my
aunt's brain. A stray newspaper came
to Pine Forest, and in its columns was
the advertisement of female seminary,
which was to be opened for young ladies,>
at Landsdowne, in short time.
To this school my aunt was resolved
to send me. felt no delight at the in
telligence. Study was distasteful to me.
I liked better to 60 out on the bare hills
when the Storm demon was abroad in
his raging, and barring my dark brow to
the wild winds, east my restless eye out
in the deep gloom, or, raising my face
up to heaven, gaze unshrinkingly on the
red lightniDgs which we're vomited from
the clouds black bosom. -sI5
But aunt said I must go to school, and
when I openly denurred, she told me of
the many wonderful things I should
learn, and the interesting objects 1
would see: and strove to curb nv
wild will in obedience to her wish.
Two months passed rapidly away in
my clothes were rapidly
packed il aunt's great black trunk, and,
accompanied by one of our farm servants,
