She came in. unheeitatiugly. and lingered for a low moments. while I told her about the pictures. I could see the fibre of her mind by the expression of her coun- tenance and the tone of her remarks as she looked at them. She had large ideality, strong love of beauty. which had probably been starved all her life. It was such a pleasure to see the light grow and deepen in her great eyes. as she stood with that wistful lace. those parted l‘ps, that I wished the re sources of the Louvre had been at my com- mand When she had seen them all, she fihanked me in that simple, child-like way 0! ers.

At length I asked. “ Wes there any one in the house I could get to do some outing for me, did she think?

She made everything look so bmmli fully that the ladies kept her always busy. “ And she‘s the role lady herael’,” broke out the warm hearted Hibernian in a curb of irrepressible panegyrio. “ She's so afraid of making any trouble. though «are I'd Work my fingers to the bone to spare those white hands at here.

I had read thstms, esrnest nature. the power Olsen-sacrifice, in her eyes. God bless and God keep her! I ssid it to my self every time I thought of her, and those tunes were nor tow. That day I purchased a Clytio. the lac simile of my own. At night I took it hnme with me, an!

I answered. “ Anything thst she did me the honor to confide to me was annexed.” Then there was a pause and I felt very awkward. It would be difiicult to any any- thing more, I thought, but Mrs. Lee did not find it so. Verily. the taot of woman is wonderlull In five minutes we had gone back two days and were talking together on our old tonne of plesslnt. euy familiarity. I was somewhat more absent-minded than formerly, perhnpe. for many of my thoughts were wrth the little girl in the attic. It was three days after I had sent her the Clytie bolero I saw her again. Then I met her on the stairs. It was sight o’clock, or past, in the evening. I was going out after my customary chat with Mrs. Lee in the parlor and I met her coming in. Her face was very pale and she stepped wearily. She smiled alittlo when she saw me and, stop ping. held out her hand. “ You were very kind. Mr. Prescott. and I am 910:9 grqtgfnljhan I ogn_ny.” _ “ I only with.” I responded. eagerly, " that I could. that you would let me contribute to your pleasure: now and then.

Would that she were my sister, my niece, anything that would give me aright to take her work out of her hands, and prescribe for her change of air and scene. rest and a little pleasure! Then I tell to thinking as I strolled across the common. what a sad, strange tyrant Custom is. Society wou'd let me do what I pleased {or my second cousins would smile on me i!

The handâ€" wriling was hurried and irregular ; the words went to my heart : “ Mrs. Lae tells me she hes let my room to a person who will pay her more. I am obliged to go to day. She intimates that I have lowered. mysell in your estimation by my lorwsrdueu, and that I have lost the respect of the boarders. This may be so, alas! I leer it is. I could bear all else. but to have lost your respect is terrible. You were very kind to me, and it was so sweet to have a friend. Do not think any worse 0! me than you can help.
