"This beautiful place i. as cheerful as it
is romantic" she replied ''though have
been accustomed to couple romance with
what is melancholy, for my own early his
tory had much of romance in it, joined
with as much Of SORROW
This vague allusion, led her, at his de-
sire, to an explanation, the substance being
that in her native city, from which her
fathers family were moving when she was
but four years of age, she strayed away
from the house, while they were busy with
the confusion, and became lost. She had
contrived to stroll OIL board vessel where
the little wanderer was discovered fast
asleep after the vessel had put to sea.
On his return, the captain made fruit
less inquiries as to the whereabouts ofthe
childs parents, and concluded to adopt
her as his own.
At the age of fourteen, the captains
wife, who had long been unkind to her,
turned her adrift,while he was absent from
home. Making her way to factory-town
she had earned her livelihood ior a number
of years, till her marriage and removal to
the West, never having heard further Of
her parents; but the dress which she had
worn when she was lost, had been care
fully preserved, and was still in her pos
session.
DR.. Herman had listesed gravely and
with fixed interest to this brief narrative

you more about this dress. The city o
which you speak is my native city; and
have good reason to remember the detail
of this little dress for am the elder broth

too young to remember your name'"
"Oh no !" replied Mrs. Lane, pale AM
tremulous at this disclosure. "I remem

her tears.
