BY ELLEN ALHTON. In a sweet rural vullv, nestled among tho hills fl f o|(J Massachusetts, stands it pleasant village, with a picturesque mill and factory. Tltrco sum. men ago this hamlet was the temporaty residence of two young men, who wero apparently travelling artists, as their chief occupation seemed to consist in sketching tho scenery cftlte neighborhood, which j was celebrated for its beamy. Their arrival had 1 created some stir among the villagers ; for with, out a bit of pielension, both voting men had a cer tain dignity of manner that caused them to be look ed up to, uitd many n pretty fuciory girl, as she tripped to her work, cast back a look over her shoul der, if she met either of the handsome strangers. Though the society of the village was unusual ly intelligent, and the females remurkable for love, linens, there was one fumed ubove all tho rest, in both mind and person—sweet Edith Mather. She was ait orphan, without sister or brother, and lived willt aa aged aunt, whom site chiefly supported by her labor in the factory. Edith was popular with everyone. She was so gentle, considerate anil kind,that even those who at first envied, lenrned It last to love her. The younger of the artists, whom we shall name Lovel.sotm became interest ed in this sweet creature ; at least, if looks, tones, and a constant seeking of her presence were uny proof he was thus interested. One day ho and his friend had clnmberrd i up some rucks on the steep Itill side from which VOL. -XXXVl- So the two friends pnrud, for Lovel remained behind: and, In less than a week, it was known very where in the villngo that Ito and Edith were \ nguged lo he married. , ‘If you can content yourself with the precarious i fo ol a poor nrtist,’ lie said, when ho told his offuc- >’ on, ‘tve may bo happy,’ Edith answered by a look of bar bright eyes, so ■ snder confiding and eloquent, tliut Lovel udured er front that moment more than ever.
