Emily Wharton was the pet

old 4 men l'eNerently, called her
the village angel" the young
men admired her by day and
dreamed Of her by might; and
even her companions of her
own sex felt her a pure regard,
free from the least taint of envy
or jealousy. Had any ons ask
ed if she was beautiful, The re-
ply would have been: II am
sure | don't know ; but she is
SO good we,all love her; we
can't help it." And if you,
reader, had seen her, no time
could eiface the memory of her
glossy brown hair, her deep,
tender eyes, of a dark gray, and
her fair round fac with gentle
ness and patience shining from
every feature. You might deny
that she really was pretty, but
you would have to admit that
she possessed charms superior
to those Of personal loveliness.
What little romance there
had been in Emily's quiet
happy life, she had made her.

quite another object, Her par
ents being the wealthiest peo-
pie in town, and her own heart
prompting her to take the most

such a quiet way that she
avoided the ostentation of char
