UnfortaoatMjnrfor.n&yself and «ve*
rjliodj who saw* me, I : am very
beautiful. It is not egotism to make
that remark K for 1 have had plenty of
mishaps on account of my looks, and
every ill that can befall a family has
been' laid to the ‘‘Frank's
terrible appearance.” When I was
a child* everything went wrong.—
Once on a* forty-boat a> young and
lovely lady, petting and talking to
me, became aoJnterestedi that she
quietly backed off the edge, and on
ly the presence of mind and daring
of her husband rescued her in a
choking and very damp condition.—
Nurse scolded, mama raised her
hand in horror, and the lady gave me
ihe name of “Lorlie,” which Uhave
ever since retained.
I was a continued source of anxie
ty lest I should be kidnapped by
some childless people and made into
a or an heiress. My life
wa- miserable, with the guard set
ayound me, to say nothing of a doz
en *>r two toilette a day, my hair to
be and bryihed incessantly
and* myself ITissea'Vnd fondled like sr
llwp-rlog. It grew no better, later.—
My siatev* happened to ne very plain
ssidf B enuklff’t help it if I got all the
invitation*, boucjU'-ts, and (iropostls,
and they received none. To make
it worse one off my ad" l r et* died of
heart disease,, and kit tee the large
fortune that stioufdi have gape .to his
sisters—i and ihey laved me exces
sively, of cou'Se r
I combed my hair in the most hor
rib'e way I could invent, wore stiff
collars up to my ears, plaint dresses
of sober color, made faces at myvelf
in the glass by the hour, and ail to
no purpose. My hair would turn
into the cunningest little ringlets
about my forehead and fall down in
a golden maw of curls just at the
wrong time. The neck above the
ugly linen no amount of sun could
make other than white and well*
turned ; and the clumsy dress hid a
form of the most perfect mould—
stately, smooth and rounded as only
a healty English girl can e ver hope
to be.
I couldn’t have any girl friends,
for, without meaning it, I captured
their lovers—they grew jealous and
called me names: and the attach
ment usually ended in a storm of
tears and reproaches on ths one part
dismay a >d repentance on the other.
I couldn't have a gentleman friend,
for if single he would propose in a
month, and if married the wife came
to the rescue, and I got the worst of
it.
I tried one plan and you shall have
the result of it ?
I cut my hair off nearly clos *, and
mercy on me! —I had done the bus
iness. I was handsomer tnan befo e.
I looked the very picture of mischief,
my hair curled tighter than ever, and
my eyes would dunce in spite ol all
the sober books I read, and all tho
sad things I tried ti think of. I took
Mint Hetty imo my confidence one
day when she came to the
city to boy some furniture for
bor country house, and promised as
soon as her sons «a*tod for school,
I would bo with her to spend ihe
summer. I made my preparations
secretly, snd only on the day of my
departure caked and received per
mission to go uuwstched end alone.
!Ited io my freaks, mamma ask id
no questions, but gave me some eds
vice—to “wear a thick veil in the
pan, not take my gloves off, and not
to'winjt st ony one.” As though I
ever knowingly did wink
'' ’M/'own sister wdii!4 not have
knpita the little brown mouse of s
giit that W'demurely in the bar
oirfis way' w Rockbridge. I'had
orddr&d I Wig made of bright red
hdlr, and it was a very marvel in its
wav. Short, crisp, fiery curls cov
ered my head closely, well d<>wn on
the neck, and twining lovely around
piy ears.- A dress of waterproof ot
the most ungraceful cut and make,
green glasses, shoes and gloves two
sizes two big, and with the excep
tion ot mauth and complexion I was
hideous. Auntie would t t)0l .believe
that it was myself, until 1 had shown
her my eyes, and spoken to her sev
ernl times.
There was not a soul on the place
that had over seen me, except aunt
and uncle, and as they .called pie
“Lorlie,” the servants never suspec
ted that I was the Frank Mosrison
they bod heard so -much of from the
young mailers,-'. There wpre jjew
neighbors, and I ra* her avoided them
For the first time in piy life I was
ugly, and consequently happy. I rode
the horses, s it on the barnyard fence
during the milking, fed the chickens,
ate apples and new butler, took long
walks in the woods, and ray big feet
and scarlet hair never inviied a sec
ond glance from.any one I.pjssad.—
What happy, jolly days they were
to m«, only those who are blessed
with so much beauty and long to
flee from.ihe consequences can im
agine.
One morning Rtook a-book, and
going through the orchard, followed
He stream to a favorite n ,ok, lay
down and laughed the pretiy, music
al laugh that was at once a pleasure
and abane. I laughed to thinkofmy
self in this rig in an opera-box ; and,
looking at the water, I said “Why
not be a real “Lorlie’’ for awhile I"
No soorer thought than done. Off"
came the clumsy shoes and knitted
stockings, and holding ray dress up
I went splashing in the shallow
waters. i stepped on a big stone ;
it? rolled with me, andi I sat down
cosdy in the middle of the brook,
wet to my waist, and my dismay
finished by the heartiest laugh you
can imagine. Looking at a part of
the bank that I had: not before no
tioedj.l saw a gentleman, in sporting
dress, holding a fishing-rod in one
hand and waring the other at me in:
a most genial and pl§asnnt manner.
It k have-been thnt nsyey&s di;f
not match my hair ; at any rate, I
fancied that he stopped luughing
rather suddenly, and coming close
down io the water stood eyeing me
enquiringly. Ijnd been "angry at
firsi—hot my usual sense of humor
caine to my aid, and silting iliere,
with lapping water full about me, I
held my sides, and laughed with
him until I was tired, and my
cheeeks glowed like two roses.
‘Well,’ he finally said, stopping
to laugh at every word or two. ‘you
have- succeeded in yopr loudly ex
pressed wish, and maye a veritable
‘Lorlie’ of yourself.’
‘J>id you hear me !’ I asked, feel
ing for the first time a little shy,
and rising slowly to my feet. He
saw that 1 could not come Am in ray
bare andlaughipg sail, he up
swereJ—-
‘Yes. But I fear you will con
tinue a water-nymph until J. am
gone, so goodsbve.’ And a* sud
denly as he had come, he disap
peared.
I put on my shoes, and made the
best of my way back io the house.
Aunt Hetty laughed at me when I
told her of my uduenture, but stared
when I described the man.
‘Bless me, child,’ she said, ‘it is
Walter Gray, who lives on the next
farm, or rath’T owns if, and lives in
New York. 1 didn’t know he was
at home.’
The days flew by on golden
wings, every one seemed more happy
than ihe lasi. I took an apronful of
peaches and a book, and lay down ip
the hammock under the elms tor a
lazy time one morning. I was
scarcely settled when I heard auntie
calling me, and then steps coming
near me. I rais'd myself, and who
should be with her but that Walter
Gray ! He laughed heartily on rec
ognizing in my aunt’s niece the
-water-nymph,’ but soon made me
feel at ease by his courteous and
merry manner. He came over to
see if de could buy a cow tmm uncle,
and over the merits of butter and
milk we grew quite friendly. Aunty
would have him stay to lunch, and I
tried to enact the country giil, and
be os awkward as possible- Two
or three times 1 a most betrayed
myself by some unguarded remark—
but by dropping my fork, upsetting
my milk, and knocking ray cha r
over when I rose, t managed to seem
ill.bred enough to suit my coarss
frock, absent collar, and tumbled
Uair-
To my utter astonishment, Mr.
Gray asked me to go io a picnic at
the' school-house the’ next day
While I was staring first at him,' am
then at myself in ihe glass, Aun ;
I Hetty quietly said, ‘She will go
with pleasure.’ I was ready to
beat her, but beyond a lew mutter
ed words, 1,-satd nothing until be
was gone. Thee I made a dew re
marks io her which made tar look
so sorry, that I kissed tar fond prom
ised to go peaceably,
1 made myself look as countrified
as possible, next morning, and my
jooking-glass told we that I was no
lunger even passable. Mr. Gray
made no remark about my appear
ance, except jo asJk if the glasses
were absolutely necessary, §ndon
my gravely, assuring him that they
were, he helped me into the carriage,
and avyay we went. Howl enjoy
ed the glances t fie girls gave me, and
their evident contempt for my dress
and manner! 1 found myself alone
with Mr. Gray, toward the end ol
the.aLernqon. and we sat down oh
the moss ai the foot of a tree for
what I called a good, talk. His
manner had been perfectly.kind and
courteous, and,he had done every,
thing in his power to make me for
get the difference belw ee n
myself .and the pretty country girls
i had met. After a. little I forgot
my part, and letting fall
,uo t heed«;d in my lap,, I. pulled off,the ‘
yellow co.iton glovead had worn all

my hands above my head, content?

from mamma cerne, saying that
summer was long over and psople
were growing very curious as to my I
whereabouts. With a cold, sick
feeling at my heart, I took the letter
in my tad l ** ani l wcnl ih rou gh the
orchard to the place where I had
played .‘Lorlie’ fpi the henefit of
Walter Gray. Bitterly I regreted the

How long l lay there f do noi
till someone dropped oq the grass

voice speaking to me.
‘Your aunt Says you are going

abilities will let you. .1 have learned
to love you very much, and you will

For an answer, I lay quiet, look •
ing up in his lace, and thinking how
nice it was and fearing to break the
spell by showing him my real self,
‘Do you like this awkward, uglv,
