That Trumb C'lolli.
“ How did yotwome to marry Mr.
Marshall, aunt Nannie? 1 ’
Mrs. Nannie Marshall wasn't my aunt,
but I had called her so for years, for she
was the kindest and truest friend I had
ever had. She sat silent, knitting busi¬
ly and smiling a little, before she ans¬
wered me.
“It all came of shaking a orimb
cloth,” said aunt Nannie.
“ What l did you trip him up in its
folds, and bring him down on his knees
to you ?’’
“No; I’ll tell you. When I was
four years obi my mother died 1 do
not know win trrrrvhildren of that ten¬
der age remember their m< the? as I re¬
membered mine or not; but when I
was so little that 1 sut in a high chair
at the table, I would watch the chairs
filling up around it with the persistent
hope th t my mother would come to sit
by me; and I did not relinquish this
hope .after I was old enough to com¬
prehend death, but dung to it, praying
Christ to work a miracle, as in the old
Bible times, and let my dear mother
appear to my longing sight.
“ Never was there a more'affectionate
child, andyny youth was u dreary time.
My grand mother, who had charge of
me, meant to do her duty by me, and,
in the usual acceptance of the term, she
did it. I was fed and clothed, and she
taught me as well as Iter limited means
would allow. But. she never manifest¬
ed any affection for.mo. She was one
of that kind of people who think kisses
and caresses foolishness, and though I
can look back now and remember proofs
of a secret tenderness, she never kissed
nor caressed me when I was a child.
“1 grew up starved for love. After
l was fourteen years old I grew to look
for it whence all girls look for it—from
a lover. I read romances— l built air
eindU’S—yet so Will had I been trailed
in practical waj 8 and habits, that no
one dreamed of the turn my mind was
taking. My fondest die,mi was of the
nun* when a martial figure, with bold,
bright Wes. ami gay apparel, should,
Seated on a milk-white chargers appear
before me as I spun iu the porch, or
gathered berries in the field, and folding
me to his heart with tender and assuring
words, leap upon his steed, ami with me
in his arms, ily to some unknown Coun¬
try where he would make me queen of
hie castle. I never realized, ugly, igno
rail! child that 1 was, that this was po
culi.-.rly absurd us applied to me, until
one day something occurred which de
s roy**d my beautiful illusion,and ma le
me wretched.
“ There were always several weeks
iu the Fall, when, if the crops were
good, I was almost incessantly employ¬
ed m gathering berries, which grand¬
mother preserved for winter use. My
only companion iu this work Was my
cousin Stephen, a boy two or three
years younger than my sell.
“One day whei thus employed, we
caught a glimpse ol a man iu regimen¬
tal.', ri ling swiftly through tue woods.
*• WiiO ‘*uu that be ? said ekephen.
“ Oh !' s«ii., I, in delight, pci Imps* it is
my lover kuight coming irom tue wars
to find me. Lei us watch until
comes a round the bend ot the rouu. I
it is lie, uni take iff his plumed hai
and wave if tot me. Tueu he M l
gallop tq* an i iiil me to his Ji.- >, aim
tuny an* to Moated Gu-tle.”

•* My cioud-faud Was destroyed 1»u
eve i. Fmum that tnooMMit i Knew that
wa> ugly, uncuuth mnl unattractive,
and my hero-lover never came ; I ceased
to expect him.
“ I grew older, I was pale, plain and
awkwardly shy. I felt my personal de¬
tects to a paiufui degree, and I shunned
what society was attainable to me.
■ “ When I was eighteen years old I
received an invitation from an aunt who
lived in Boston to visit her. I had
never seen her, and she knew me only
by report. She wished to come and
spend the winter with her.
“ My grandmother wo* willing that
i should go, but we wen? very poor,
and it required a great deal of economy
and management to furnish me with a
wardrobe (it to visit the city with;* At
last my outfit was completed, and I
went to Boston.
“ The family of my aunt Caroline
consisted of herself, her daughter Julia,
and the orphan children of a deceased
son. Julia was just iny age, and very
pretty It is a very hard thing to say,
but 1 honestly thin/r that my aunt—■ to
whom my person:.! appearance had
been described, wanted me to associate
with Julia as a foil to her beauty, and
to reside in the family that I might us
s st in taking care of the children. At
any rate, when I came, the only servant
was dismissed. —
“ The family lived elegant!, hut I
soon found that it was done by the
strictest economy. My aunt worked
hard ami managed well, and no one out¬
side of the house dreamed that their in¬
come was as painfully small as it was.
“ Julia had a lover. Mr. Marsh ril
was very handsome arid mighty fine,
and I do not wonder that ho appeared
very much like a god to me then. He
was but recently acquainted with Julia
when tie went there, but he appeared
very much in love with her. I used to
help her dress upon the evenings oh
which he came, and after she had gone
down, looking like an angel, I use I to
shed a few quiet tears of sorrow ami
loneliness, as I stsuyl ami listened to
their happy $hf.? ami gay laughter ring¬
ing from the room below. I was very
sure that 1 never could be pretty, and
I thought i obody would ever love me.
“ One day Mr. Marshall came to diue.
Extra attention vva* given to the house
ami dinner. My aunt had been very
wealthy for u short time when first
married and from her husband’s failure
she had saved a few things which gave
the house an air of meoiis ami st\ le—
some articles ol fine table silver ami
some huudsome oil pf»mtmg*, I remem
bet.
“ With rny assistance she served the
dinner herself, and intihaged to be richly
dressed to appear at the table. She
h^ked cool and stately; but I, who
had lingered until the last moment m
the kitchen, making gravies ai d serving
W gi tabies, was so tired that 1 could
li.iidiv speak. I never did tulk much,
though; so it was tint noticed, appar¬
ently. Mr Marshal) conversed ot books,
pictures, and music, with all ot which
Julia was acquainted, and it was agree¬
able to listen to them. I was soriy
when the meal was finished.
*• Mr. Maishall turned to look at the
pictures on the wall when he arose, anti
alter a few moments, my aunt com¬
menced clearing the table. The dishes
•were put. through a slide m the cup-
1 board iuro kitchen. I helped her
tre
to do l)»is Julia stood looking out ol
the window.
When the table was cleared of its
dishes my aunt went out. * f sat down

crumb cloth had not been taken
Julia glanced at it the same moment,
and then turned serenely back to
embroidery* I put down the dice-box
timidly.
‘ Excuse me,’ said J, aunt is not
ing back and the table must be put in
its place.
‘ I took oft thereover and carried it
into the kitchen, then came bac&, put
down the old-fashioned table, and was
going to put it up at the bide of the
room alone, when Mr. Marshall sprang
and did it (or me.
“Then I took up the crumb cloth,
carried it out and shook it, and put it
in its place in the half closet, and all
the time he stood and watched me, as
if in surprise. When I was ready to sit
down he played very badly. lie seem¬
ed to be absent-minded.
“ He came to the house two or three
times after that, but never to spend an
evening alone with Julia. Pretty soOu
he did not come at all, and Julia used
to cry and pout and be so cross that she
made the whole family uncomfortable.
“ One day he drove up to the ddor in
a splendid sleigh, forjt was winter time,
ami the sleighing was very good. Julia
was sitjting at the dining-room fire.
“There, said she, jumping up, he’s
come to take me to drive. Now, I won’t
go u step unless be asks my pardon tor
staying away so long.
“ ller mother showed him into the
parlor, and he os&ed )br me. I went in
wonder. He askee me to go to ride as
coolly us if I had been in the habit, of
driving witlf him all the days of my
urn)* there was something in Jiis
manner that would not let me refuse*
I went, and he asAred Tue to marry him.
I waited three years tor him, for he was
not settled in business then—then we
were married, and 1 have been happy
every day of my lifc siuce.
“ One day he told me why he had
not married Julia.
“ I Was pleased with her, said he,
but when I s»w her let von, a guest,
leave your employment with a geutlc
mati, to do her mother’s vvor k, while
she sut doing nothing hut some embroid¬
ery, i knew she was indolent and selfish
and sin? never looked pretty to me alter
that moment. II it had not been for
that crumb cloth, Nannie, I should
probably have married her, and been
wretched us 1 am now satisfied.
A Ricn Fool.—A rich planter died
in the West Indies, and left one little
boy. His name was willikm Beckfnrd.
The boy was very rich, and grew richer
every year until h«* was twenty-one.—
lie was then one ol the richest men iu
the world;
What did he do with his money ?
He spent it all on himself. When he
travelled, he travelled like tt king. He
sent ou bt forehand, and hud the looms
he was to use fitted up iu the draudest
style.
The splendid house which his father
built in England did not suit him, and
he determined to pull it down and build
one that should be the wonder of all
England. Four or live hundred men
were kept at work ou it night and day
until it was done. The night workmen
used great torches, which lighted up

of William Beekford melted away like

Nobody wanted to live in it; mid now

Beekford Just saved enough to keep

A itcautifb! Love Slury*
The Count de St. Croix,.belongingto
one of the noblest and wealthiest fami¬
lies of France, became engaged, after a
long courtship, to a lady his equal in
position beauty.* and fortune, and famous for h»T
appointed Shortly after the happy day
was which was to render two
loving hearts one, the Count was order¬
ed immediately to the siege of Sebasto
pojl; so he girded on his saber, and at
the head ol uis regiment marched on to
the battle-field, During the Count’s
absence it happened that his beautiful
aftiariced had the small -pox ; and hover¬
ing between life und death, she recover¬
ed, but found her beauty hopelessly
lost, The deseuse had assumed, in tier
case, the most virulent character, aud
left Imr not only disfigured, but seamed
and scarred to such a frightful extent
that she became hideous to herself, and
resolved to pass the remaiuder of her
days in the strictest inclusion.
A year passed away, when one day
the Count, immediately on his return
to France, accompanied by his valef,
prsented himself at the residence of his
betrothed and solicited an interview.—
'I'his was refused. lie,however, with
the persistence of atover, pressed th«
suit, and finally the lady mi.d: her a;
pearnnoe, very closely muftled in a vuiJ.
At the sound of her voice the Count
rushed forward to embrace her, but,
stepping aside, .tremblingly told him
the story of her sorrow, and burst into
tears. A heavenly smile broke over
the Count’s handsome features, as rais¬
ing his hand above, he exclai t ed Jfc
is God’s work ! I am blind/' It was
even so When gal'aiitly leading his issed reg¬
iment, to the attak, a cannon ball p
*«) closely to his eyos that, while itle.it his
their expression unchanged and
countenance unmarked, it robbed him
forever of sight. It is unnecessary to
and that their marriage wots shortly sol¬
emnized. It is said that at this day may
be often seen at the Emperor's recep¬
tion. an officer learning upon the arm
of a lady closely vailed, and they seem'
to be attracted to the spot by their love
of music.
Power of Kindness.—A poor woman
need to give an elephant, who often
passed her stall in the market, a hand¬
ful of greens, of which he was very fond.
One day he was iu a great fury, and
broke away from his Aeeper. and came
ranging qown the market-place. Every
ouo tied, and in her haste the market
women forgot her little child. But
the furious elephant, instead of tramp¬
ling it to uoath’ picked it up tenderly
and laid it ou one side in a place of safe¬
ty. Do you think she was sorry she
guv-, him his htmdful of greens as he w ut
by ? No. We never lose by a /.hid
action, no matter to whom it isdooe.
