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!

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.

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. ed. •Virginia, sir.

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 pie, and one night wo were iu tlio room they call- s |,e thought, hut her little hand was held bv One ed the I.adies’ Cabin, and mother had just undress. , v ho icnulil not tel Iter fall. As sho rose from her 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 ever be so good tome agninl’-and here the litllecroa. ; ,|,e arms, neck and head. Her little heart beat 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 singing my pretty hymn, | fair and pure than the innocent brow beneath.— I’ll,know no fear,when danger’s near, | Nuxt sho bared Iter graceful arm, and clusped a Ft)Vi l, v? l tii <l h«av*n, r n°Enilwr dear, a bracelet there.— How exquisitely the delicate And lie will hold my Ii mil; , ornaments become her childit.li loveliness!

And then l wanted clasped it with more luarfui haste.

After a silence of some min. not for n great while—I used in pine so at night | ulea, broken only by (hint sobs, she sung once, more for her dear arms round me ! At last, I found a j in low and tremulous tones, die hymn, which seem 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 • vil could penetrate. Bothies the native pnri \ • •id delicacy of Iter mind, there were two other in.

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>• into which silts was thus suddenly ii'hcivd.
