BY L’ESFERANCE.
“I am going out Aunt Eunice. It
is cruelty in Lite Highest f'egree to.con
line me. within these walls, when the
day is so charmingly inviting. Yon,
if you so desire, can remain and con
tinue scribbling and revising those
manu.-cripts but you must do it with
out my assistance.” And around the
cherry lips of Ruth Abbott, there
hovered a pout, and a look of. dcliance
had drif.ed to the brown eyes",
“Qb! ebild slay aiid Jinisb this page,
you copy so rapidly, it will take but a
very short lime, and I am very anx
ious to have it completed by to nigh ’s
mail.” And away glided tier pen
swillly as before; but receiving no an
swer, she raised her bead, and saw her
niece with the morning paper, evident
ly interested in its perusal.
‘‘Only listen Auntie”—
To night at the “Hall” Mr. Elbert
DuPont, delivers an address, subject,
:he “Stale of the Country.” “Will it
not be a delighllul disturbance, of tlu
dull monotony ol this village impris
onment, surely we will attend?”
“Not unless you lirish that page”
said the unrelenting Aunt. Hence the
girl resumed her writing under duress,
knowing that it was the only condition
to her enjoyment of me entertainment
of the evening, with unremitting as
siduity she continued her writing, un
til the page was filled. Laying aside
her pen she letained her seat, evident
ly desirous to say something, but knew
not how to express herself, or how it
would be received. Hut mortified with
the compulsory means adopted by her
Aunt, to drive her as a menial to the
hated task, sj>c determined to speak her
thoughts, “conic quit couteS
Hot eyes still retaining their defiant
expression, she said—“To be candid

supress a merry laugh. AVmigh his
ullusmy the usually pale Is
Aunt, was the only evidence, _ .f,{ an( ]
volly had, h• <1 the slightest cl!eo u ’Kf u |
her lips moved not, and her pen g‘.<yj a f
dong as busily, as if there had beeii^j’'
Hlerruplioii.
“There Auntie I have displease- a
you, but not intentionally, but I ean-^
not refrain from saying, mat the pro-

vine injunction, cast not thy pearls be

“•It is an author’s pi ovince to elevate
the common taste, not to subserve it.
An ignorant effort at criticism, to ine,
is intolerable said the Aunt, I consider
a knowledge of the ancient mysteries
ofChaldaic, Persian, Roman ami Greek,
as the highest attainment in literature.”
Seeing the eyebrows of Aunt Eunice
in an angry frown, Ruth beat a retreat
while she could accomplish it graceful
i y. Ordering hoi; petted favorite horse
Fleet foot, and donning her riding hab
it, cap and feather, she was soon bound
ing away through the long lane,
borderedon each side by meadows fresh
and green.
And now reader:- all aw ing you a
pardonable amount of curiosity, and
for the gratification of that porclivity,
which Byron i.u. a pungent mood de
nominated alow vice (notwithstanding
it has its origin ia Eden.) We haste
to giye you a description of Aunt Eu
nice, who she is, and what she is doing,
with so much fools cap paper, written
on one side only.
Aunt Eunice, had.passed the meridi
an of life, and in crossing life’s equinox
she lef.tou the youthful, andsunny side,
not only the beauty of her person, but
that sweetness, of temper, that was said
to have been characteristic, of her ear
ly womanhood. Sorrows and disap
pointments, were the causes^ her present
sadness and loneliness of heart the
effects; But of these, as well as the rea
son for her becoming an inmate ol the
Abbott family, we will at present with
hold from you reader, and for the sake
of Butk’4 seusative nature, we will
never reveal it, unless it becomes an
important link in the chain and con
tinuity qf ouf story. Aunt Eunice
had been
“Wounded with the common dart.
And love of fame lay throbbing at her. haart.’ )
Her muse had proceeded through
ised to keep her secret. Not withstand
ing AuntEunice was exultant over her
success in blending the beauties ol
thought and language, Ruth laughing
said, “Aunty yon can’t show it to me.”
“If not to you” said the Aunt, “its
beauties will appear to others, so, as I
have over two hundred pages of close
ly writen manuscript, thoroughly re
vised, I will send it this evening, to
Appelton & co., N. Y. for publication,
as I will be able with your assistance,
to send them manuscript as fast as they
will need it, until the whole is com
pleted ; aDtl I will give them a brief
synopis of its oontents, to enable them
at once to understand it and appreciate
its beauties. And the Aunt resumed
her sear, adjusted her "spectacles, and
directed the following letter:
Messrs. Appleton tfc Co, Publishers,
N. Y.
Enclosed, you will find a rnanuserpt
I have prepared, and send you for pub
lication in book form, hoping you will
commence the work immediately, as
the world is famishing for the mental
nutriment, it so abundantly contains.
Nutriment indeed. Yea solid thought
rich and rare, and as numerous as the
diamonds brought to Sinbad by the
eagles. Like the ghouls of the ancients,
amid the smouldering ruins of Potnpei,
aud Ilereulancam, I have dug deeper
and with more success, than any other
author, in bringing out of chaotic se
elusion, gems of tbc rarest and most
cxqnisn,,beauty, as you will sec by re
ference to my manuscript.
And you will at once perceive, if
you are familiar with ancient lore, and
the scientific writing of olden limes—
the benefits the world will realize, by
bringing to light these precious jewels.
You will further see, that I have sue
ceeded in decipliering the hieroglyphics
of the Hebrew, Coptic, or Sanscrit ivl-
pym>. And by fa ni iarity with
the Anyan language written in Iliero-
glyphia-r-wliich 1 can read with great

, Yours with unfeigned respect,
Eunice Weston.
Reader, think not, that our heroine,
Ruth Abbott, lacked the cultivation,
that one would readily suppose from
her aunt Eunice’s sarcastic rebukes.
She was familiar with the classics, poe
try, and most of the standard works,
but her favorite study was found on na
lure’s immense page ; where the finger
of Deity, had written his unmistakable
fiats. The skies that she beheld with
enrapturing delight, the earth with all
its variegations, the rippling brook,
the sighing breezes amid faded woods
and the changeful anthem of the ocean,,
were all hers. For these things prop
erly belong, to those whom nature has
endowed with capacities to. enjoy them,
And, in contemplating them, her heart
turned in gratitude to Him, who, when
he had finished, pronounced his work
Good, and Very Good. She never rode
or walked, without an object, sho knew
enough of the different sciences to re
alize a vast improvement, and lasting
pleasure from her ramble, for she—
“Found tongues in trees, books in the
running streams, sermons in stones,
and good in every thing.”
This afternoon au she rides along,
she muses, seemingly • serious, and as
all writers are ubiquitous, and suppos
ed to divine the hidden thoughts of all
their characters, we will tell our rea
ders tho subject matter of our little
equestrian’s meditations. But before
doing so we niiist warn’ our sob«»- rw-i

very
tion comcth, but the earth abideth for*-
ever.”
During these reveries, Ruth turned
in the direction of the family burying
ground ; when her car caught the sound
of horses hoofs, ami in the distance re
cognised the well known form of her
friend Frank Stanford. Her face was
wreathed with smiles, and a rosied tinge
crept to her cheek. As the rider near
ed her, she tapped the beautiful arched
neck of Fleetfoot, and nodded gaily to
her friend, bantering him for a race, and
bounded swiftly away, far in advance
of her pursuer. When by hereques-'
trian display she had sufficiently teased
him, she reined in her horse ami looked
hack gleefully.
“Ah enthusiast of the woods, I have
caught you at last! You have led me
a chase equal to Daphne’s and her
lover’s. Please honor me by placing
the laurel on my brow,” ! said Frank
playfully. “No sir, you did not catch
me, therefore I shall leaye you, as Da^
phnic did, to crown yourself.”
“But where have you been? I see-
that your wanderings have been amply
rewarded by the rich Flora, wjtl} her
most precious and delicate contributions*
and he regarded longingly the rustfo
‘basket suspended from her arm with its
moss and evergreen pendants, filled
with the most delicately tinted flowers,
gathered from the wild woods. “For
whom were they gathered—to whom
will they be presented?” If he had
reflected but for a moment, his last ques
tion, would not have been asked, the
course she had taken might have at
once reminded him, for he had often
met her in these precincts.
Notwithstanding,she replied, “Frank,
these are not for the living, but for the
dead ; ’tis all the offering I can now
make to my father and uncle, who still
ive in memory, as fresh as the flowers
I bring them. The day was so inviting,
1 could not remain in doors, and have
been riding around the woods, gather
ing this offering, and now I am going
to carry them to dear Papa’s and Un
cle’s grave, and here they are, I
must alight and place them in the urn.”
After arranging the flowers, to her taste,
aud while leaning against the marble
column, that marked the resting place
of her late Uncle, “He,” she said, re
ferring to her uncle “was, a noble but
strange man, he never came to our
llOUSC after Aunt Eunice camo. to livo
with up,she, you know is mamma’s sister.
With their lives there Mins a secret that
wc at that time had not learned, I
was always a li,ttlc afraid of him, and
in my youthful mind I attributed to
him an unusual amount of wisdom and
sternness, though, at the same time all
kindness to, me. Such was my admira
tion and awe of hint, that had he lived
my habits and education would have
been different, where petty weaknesses
predominate now, by his wholesome
and wise counsels there might have
been strength and correct views of life.
You know Frank his influence must
have been exerted to a most powerful
extent upon my frolicksome, hoydenish
nature or I should never have made
that promise concerning the ring—but
by the by, did I ever tell you that por
tion of my history ?”
Frank looked curious and insisted
that she should at once proceed witl*
her story as her introductory remagk&
had already awakened his curiosity.
She drew from her pocket a cunning
htclo ports monie and opened, drew;
from it a small package wrapped in.
tissue paper, she unwound the wraDr-
pings carefully and disclosed to Frank’s,
eager eyes, the half of a heavy golden
ring. Holding it up. she said—
Ah ! what a ‘tale hangs thereQp,’
The sequel of which, for weal or woe,
the misty future can only reveal.

SUCCESSEFULY EXECUTED TRICK.—
It is related of the Sheriff of Houston
county, that on visiting the jail a few
days ago, tw.o negro prisoners complain,-
ed to him of the dirty condition of their t -
cell, and told him if* he would furnish,
them with a bucket of whitewash they
would whitewash it. He complied with
their request. Tho next visit he made
to their cell, immediately on opening
the door, the contents of the bucket
were dashed in his face, which so blin
ded and disabled him as to enable the
wo darkiest to make good their ear-
cape.
