He never loved her. never,
Bill yet he wnn’d ami won,
And suiili d. as soon ns ever
The heartless deed wnsdono ;
He loved the gold she brought him,
The fame and povvei it gave-—
These were the bribes which brought him,
Th« hypocrite and knave!
lie scents to treat her kir.dlv,
With much of outward show ;
And thoughtlessly and Mindly
The world believe it so.
In public—wltul alteniion ;
Forever hy bet side ;
And «>ft fair maidens mention
The rich one envied biiile.
Alas! hot heart is breaking,
Her home is cold and drear,
And she, who, al! forsaking,
To him gave ulmoNt dear,
Now feels her love is slighted,
That everv joy is fled,
That every hope is blighted.
That rest is with the dead !
roiunvLNEss.
Sweet are the words—“Thou art forgiven,”
When falling from an injured friend;
Like music from the choirs of Heaven,
They deeply in the heart descend.
“Forgiveness”—attribute divine!
Its generous purport may 1 feel—
That love from all my nelions shine
On every soul with whom 1 dcul.
“Forgetfulness”—O how sweet the v ord
That trembles on the quivering lip,
When one strangely, sadly erred.
And held with Vice companionship.
“Forgiveness,”—it iins magic power
To draw from devious paths of sin,
And when the clouds of passion lower,
Make Peace ami sunshine glow within.

people musl not be unhappy,' and (lie bouulilnl,
loving smile shone again I It roup h her lingering
tears, as she finished her simple story.
Russell was touched to the heart. Mis own eyes
were moist, and, bending down, he kissed the in
nocent cheek off he little orphan, nod hade her go
with him, and In* would give her money to clothe
nnd feed herself.
But '.In? childdiew gently, yet somewhat proudly
hack and said, earnestly, *C)h ! I never lake money
as a « mother would not like it.' Then, kiss
ing tenderly the gentle hand, that still held hers. «he
tripped lightly round n corner, und,«? moment after,
j Hanley heard her soft, silvery, childish treble, far
■ in the distance, singing, •Mmoles, matches! Six
! for a ftp! Whu*i! buy mv matches!—matches,
i ho!'
I Russell Hartley kept that sweet picture in Ids
soul, iindimmed, through years of travel and cliauue
and care. IL* visited, witii enthusiasm, the uobto
gal In lies ol painting and sculpture iu Kug'aud,
I’ranee,nnd Laly, and many a gem of art was en
shrined and hallowed in the mosaic tablets of
memory, but there was none in rival thego/w of nit

Heaven, the lovely head of the orphan girl. Thai

; chosen resting place, giving and receiving grace !
! —.1 seemed a symbol ol die Father's love for the
1 poor little motherless wandeicr. It was only Ihe
| hole in the hat thut let the sunshine—it was her
poverty and her lonely, lowly state, that made her
j especially the child of His divine pity and lender-
! ness ; nnd they, like the siiuheuin ciiaugn i to gold
| her daily carp, ami smiled through every cloud that
I crossed her little heart
i Seven years Hew by—on butterfly wings to joy
j and thoughtlessness, on leaden ones to sorrow and
‘hope deferred'—and our little Virginia now a love.
■ ly girl of seventeen, had earned money enough, bv
| b«*r bewitching way of offering maiehcs for Mile, to
| introduce herselfas n pupil into one of the first
hoarding.schools of tlm country, not to commence,
j hut iujinish her education ; for. with u passionate
| love of books, she had found means to cultivate her
1 tastes and talents in many ways.
The. lovely and lonely little orphan had slrug-
gled with hunger and cold and fatigue, with temp-
union in Ms most alluring and beguiling forms,
with evil iu a thousand shapes, yet had she kept the
heavenly sunshine oi lier soul pure and unclouded
through it all. She hud never taken money as a
gill, nor as a hride. She had assisted, from
her little store, many a child of misfortune,
still humbler nnd poorer than herself; and,
with faith, liuth. ami purity—an angel guard
around her—by the light of her own innocent
smiles, she glided, like a star, through the gather
ing clouds unharmed, unstained, unshadowed. In
tltc words of our beautiful poet—
'Penea charmed the street, beneath her feet,
And honurclianiiL'd (he air;
and mu<ic—the music of her own sweet heart and
silver vuico went always with her through the
world.
It was on the evening preceding that on which

•Six for a fip ! Six for a fip ! Matches !—mat-
cites!’ The voice was clear ami glad ns a bird’s,
anil Russell Hartley turned to see from whence it
proceeded ; a little bare-footed girl, about ten years
old, with the sunniest, sweetest face lie had ever
seen, was tripping just behind, nnd, ns lie turned,
sho held up her matches with such a winning,
pleading, heavenly smile in her blue eyes, that hr
bought nearly nil she had nt once.
Her fair hair fell in soft light waves, rather than |
curls, nearly to her waist.and a hole in Iter little I
sttnw hat let in a sunbeam upon it that turned it
half to gold,
Iu spue of the child’s coarse and tattered
parel, in spile of her lowly occupation. Iter man
ner, her step, her t xpression, the very tom s of her
voice unconsciously betrayed a native delicacy ami
refinement, which deeply interested the high-bred
youth whom site addressed. Impelled bv nn ir.
resistible impulse, lie lingered by her side as she
proceeded. -What is your name child ?' he ask.

•Virginia, sir. What is yours V
‘Hartley—Russell Hartley.’ he replied, smiling
nt Iter artless and unlive simplicity ; 'und where is
your home V
•Oh ! llmvc no home, at least not much of one.
1 sleep in the hams about here.’and again sin* look,
ed up in his face, with Iter happy and touching
smile.
•And ymir mother V
In tin instant the soil brow shadowed, nnd the!
uplifted eyes glistened with tears.
•1 will tell you all about it, if you will come, '
close to me. I don't like to talk loud about it,’ j
she replied, in low and faltering tones,
Russell Hartley took her little sunburnt hand in j
bis. and bent his head in earnest attention.
•We bad been in tlio great ship ever so many !
days, mother, nod father, and I, and nil other pet. j Doubt, ami danger, und sin, were nenror than

ed me, and 1 was silting nn her knee singing the j devotions, site saw, for the first time, a box on a
little hymn she taught me, and she had her arm table by the bed. It was addressed un the cover
round my neck—mother loved me—oh ! so dearly j simply to ‘Virginia.’ Sou opened it wondering,
—and she was so sweet nnd good !—nobody will and found a set of exquisite pearl ornaments, lor

lure tried to repress a soli, and wiped her eyes i with girlish delight. She hurried to the glass and
with her lorn apron. ‘Well, nnd so 1 was just j wound, around her hair a chain of suuw gems, less

And when I cried for my ow n sweet mother, j Had the bracelet been n serpent, with its deadly

not for n great while—I used in pine so at night | ulea, broken only by (hint sobs, she sung once, more

ed lo her n talisman for nil evil, and then calmly
luying her head on the pillow, und, murmuring I lie
name which was music to Iter soul, sunk into tlio
soft and deep slumber of innocence uud youth.
For nearly a year Imd young Grey, pursued her,
aided as he vainly imagined by his costly and taste-
■ I giBs ; but there seemed n magic halo around
he young Virginia, through which t.o shadow nt

in whose eyes she had ever read the sympathy for
which Iter lonely and loving heart yearned always.
It was evening again. The young ladies had as

*1 will go and assist her myself,’ said the prim
eipnl of the school, pleased with tins proof of kind-
lieuttodiiPfN oo the part of h»*r row pupil.
•Site softly opened the door «>l V’ngi.iia’s room, nnd
almost started nt the charming picture which met
her eye. Roliml in white, with her singulaily
beautiful l.air lulling in fair, soft curls around her
lice, which wax lighted up hy n smile of almost
ruptoroos hope und j »y. the young girl stood io an
attitude of enchanting grace, raising in both hand-*
to adjust, amid tins braids behind, a half wreath ol
glowing and richly tinted autumn leaves.
‘Let nie arrange it for you, mv etiiid.' said the
lady approaching, ami Virginia Unit her fair head
nioueslL to her bidding, and then, hand in hand,
tlw*y descended t>i the drawing-room. Many of
the company had ai lived—the doors leading to the
ball-room bail been thrown open, nnd Virginia was
almost d.izz «5 I l»v tin-* splendor the scene int>•

blushed beneath tin* ryes that were l ivened upon
her as site passed.
‘An nngH !’ *A grace!’ whispered the gentle
men to each other. There was one among them
—a nolle, cliivalrie.|.mking man — whu did not

the youthful und flexible grace Imd given place to a
