poor girl finding tbcro was so mucl
to be dore, des. airipgly sobbed her
self to sleep.
The following morning she wa'
awakened to her troubles by Louisa
who enteiing her room withou,
ceremony, exclaimed, 'lIeigho
asleep yet, what say you to walk!
Emily would Lave shaken her of,
and resumed her slumbers, had not
the thought that in a walk at such
an hour she would not be likely to
encounter any Of her fashionable
friends, and hastily arising, she was
soon equipped.
Choosing retired, but pleasant
avenue, she was carelessly proceed
ing along when her attention was
arrested by gentleman, whose ele"
gaut figure she could not mistake.
t was no other than Sir EdAard
Walton, the very one whom, above
oil others, she dreaded aud draw
ing her veil closely over her face,
she would have proceeded without,
noticing him, but Louisa cried out.
Not 80 fast, Emily here is. the
very same young fellow who was at
your house yesterday he is walk
ing all alone. and looks wistful, as il
he wanted to go with us. Here, Mr..
what's your name, we are taking a
walk too, aud rs you are going the
same way, why not go with MS =
with pleasure replied Sir Ed
ward, biting his lip, 4 never refuse
the escort OF ladies'
How very pretty, said Louisa,
and as he smilingly extondod his
iewelled hand their eyes met.
Bat Notwithstanding tie part she
waa playing, she was extremely
modest, and her eyes foil, while
modest blush overspread her cheek,
which was beautiful in the eyes OF
Il !ward, although he could not ex-

MIN to walk with her. Az all events
thonght be, such mingling Of sim"
plicity and modesty is rare, ond
therefore interesting, nnd inst for
novelty's sake, he resolved to pur-
Iue her acquaintance, and try to
draw her out.
In vain he sought to engage Miss
Howard in conversation she va,
so panied and embarrassed she
could reply only by monosyilables,
but the lisht-bearied Louisa chatted
on right merrily, apparently entirely
unconscious of tho trouble she was
giving her companion.
As they advanced into open space,
Sir Edward passionatcly called the
attention of the girls to the rising
orb Of day, tintins With its rich gold
Gu hues the eastern horizon.
IT'S very pretty, family replied
Emily, while Louisa. betrayed into
forgeifuluoss 10y her passionate love
Of the sublime, warmly exclaimed;
Pretty how tameth expression!
it is sublimely beautiful Look
again, doar Emily, what work OF art
can equal natures sweet adorningsy
how rich, how glorious, are the
varied hues and shades For a
moment she gazod in lost admira'
ton, while Sir Edward viewed with
surprise and an interest amounting
almost TO tenderness, her intellec,
tual face beaming with the poetic
enthusiasm of her feelings. AS she
turned her soul-lit eye upon him,
his tender gaze recalled Der to her
senses again, aud her eyes fell and a
deep blush overspread her cheeks.
Emily was not less surprised than
Sir Edward, aud pleased that she
had made favorable impression on
his mind, (Which she could not help
seeing, though she believed it nom.
entary,) aud she half resolved to le,
pride alone love her for what she
was, aud Independently brave public
opinion. But alas pride had gain

and during the reception of morn
ing callers, she found herself al
} much annoyed as on the proViou'
T. day.
