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 day, apd laying backward, clasped my hands above my head, content? edly. After a minute jie saids ‘Maggie Thorne.is entirely thrown, away on itpd old .unn, What a life for a bright, fair woman to live, shut away \n that qylet house. Following his glance toward the the house on the other side of the road, l lazily answered ; “Imperial aud turned to clay, p&gtit stop q,4?ie 1® keep the wind The look of utter amazement on his face was too funny as he gasped put ; Lorlt e, wh at ara you ?.

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 inasqueradej f<»r 1 thought he could be brought to like the red hair ed, clumsy girl h# had pitied and been kind to. I lay on the grass crying, b f^Jin Js in my hand sums of the dead leaves lying all about me, find thiuking how like my own hopes they were. How long l lay there f do noi till someone dropped oq the grass by me, and a cool, soft luod held my own. ‘Crying water-nymph V and be fore I knew ii I found myself closely heRI by two strong arms, and a dear voice speaking to me. ‘Your aunt Says you are going away to be educated, and taught many things ii is right lor yon to know. I dare not let you go, little one, until I ask if you will jthisk of yjuraell as my own Lorlie, and try to beootne as graceful outwardly $s your puire, good heart and natural abilities will let you. .1 have learned to love you very much, and you will let me hope will you not!’ 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, clum-y, red-haired girl I’ 1 finally m maged to ask, with a long-drawn breatn af satisfaction, “Stop the adjectives,” he answer ed, closing my mouth geqtjy with a care.-s (and how glad I was iqy mouth was preity,) “Ai timas you are more graceful than any one L ever sawj and as for the hair —’ • t sat up eagerly and asked : ‘You like yellow hair, and m’t you t’ NO. 40 I* Yea,” tao said, wondering al mj eager look and manner. ‘•Turn your head away, and prom !ise not 10 look/’I saiJ, turning lit head so that heeould not see me. •‘I promise/' came the voice ] was wailing for. With trWnblir.i: hands I took out the pins, unfastened the elastic which held my red wig : and pulling it ofT, turned his face to ward me. He looked as though I had seen a gi.’ost, and stared at th red hair in my hand and the golde on my head, in mute astonishment ‘-‘Yes, it’s mine/'I said, answerit. his look; and I pulled one pt th' short ,«uls hanging over my eyes,- ‘And./ candir.ce and sing, and play the I love Shakespeare I' rcould get no further, for the reason Iqvers can perhaps explain ; and an hour after, in my pretty wtSMftuffles and womanly finery, I crept into the sitting ro >tn, I found Aunt Hetty talking to Walter, and saw him gravely kiss: her hand as he cajne toward me. When I saw the light in his eyes as he lorked at me for the first lime in my life I flunked God for my giorious beauty. There was a grand time when I went home, and for a while my ‘uu foitunaie appearance’ ceased to be the general theme of conversation. My first acxiety, when nurse brought me my little Fannie, to 1 >ok at, was whether she was pretty, t need not have troubled myself. Her nose is fiat, her mouth is wide, and only her blue eyes and sunny terns per keep her from positive plainness. She has relieved me from ull fear of perpetuating the race of Lorltes.’— The A\dinc . ‘Best Things.’ The best theology—a pure an ! beneficent life. The best philosophy—a conten’ed mind.
