Fortunes of a Oouatry Girl.
One day, l “'ill not say iiow mtny
years ago, for 1 intend to be very mys
terious f>r a time with my read, rs—a
young w ottx in stepped Iront a courtirt
wagon wnioh i>u 1 just arrived at the
yard irate of the famous Chelsea Inn,
the Goal and Compasses, a name formed
by corrupting tin; pious original, “God
encompassed!) us. - ’ ihe young woman
seemed about the age of eighteen, and
was decently dressed, though in tliu ;
plainest rustic lashion oi the times.—
She was well formed and well looking,
boili form and look giving indications
of the ruddy health consequent upon
exposure to sun and air in tin; country.
After stepping from the wagon, which j
the driver immediately led into u court
yard, the girl stopped tin a moment in
npparent uncertainly whither to go.
when tin! mistress ol tiio inn, who had
come to the dour, observed her hesita
tion, and asked her to enter and take
rest. Tire young woman readily o
beyed the invitation, arid soon, by the
kindness of the landlady, found her
self by the fireside of a nicely sanded
parlor, wherewithal to refresh hersoii
after u long and tedious journey.
“And so, my poor girl,'’ said i ! >.;
landlady, after having, in return for her
khidiiess, the whole particulars of in
young woman’s situation and history,
“so thou hast come all this way to s ek
service; and lust thou no fi'emii but
John Hodge, tilt! w ugouel’ ! I’ruc, lie
is iiivc lo give they hut small ledp U-
getting a plii'oe.”
‘ - ls service then, difficult to_ bo had.' >
asked the young woman, sadly.
“Ah, n, rrv, good situation - at leu-’,
are haid to find. But.you nave a good
heart, child,” said the landlady, and ■<
she cotiiinued, she looked around with
U: air of pride uikl dignity; “thou sc- -t
“Hat [ have come to myself ; 1 left tin
country a young thing like thyself,
“ith a; little 10 e.. ; to. But ’tis’nt ev-
Pr > 4me f ■ a certain, that must look Dr
sued) a : ail?, and in any case it must
be wrought for. I allowed myself •*
oood servant, before my poor old Jacob,
Heaven resi his snnl, made me mistress
id the Goat and Compasses. So mill I
1 thee, girl—”
‘Pile landlady’s speech might have
gone on a long way ; for the dame
loved well the sound of her own tongue,
hut for the interruption occasioned by
llie entrance of a gentleman, when the
landlady rose and welcomed him hear
tily.
“Ah, dame, ’ said the new comer,
who was a stout, respectably attired
person of middle age, “how sells the
good ale? Scarcely a drop left in the
cellar, i hope ?”
“Enough left to give your worship a
draught alter your long walk,” and she
rose to fulfil the promise implied jv
her words.
“I walked e t,’ was the gentleman's
reply, “but took a pair of oars, dame,
down tin- river. Thou knowest 1 al
ways c unc to Clu Icea myself to see it
thou Idckest any thing.”
“Ah, sir,” replied the landlady,
“and it is by tint, way of doing business
that you made yourself, as all the city
says, the richest mart in the Brewer’.-
Corporation, if n it in all London i’.sdf.’
“Wi 11, and une, the better for me if it
he so,” said the brewer with a smile ;
“buts t us have the mug, and thi
quite pretty friend of thine shall pleas
ure us, mayhap, hy tasting with us.”
Tiie landlady was not long in procu
ring a stoop of ale, knowing that her
visitor never set ail example hurtful to
his own interests by countenancing the
consumption of foreign spirits.
“Right, hostess,” said the brewer,
when he had lasted it, “well made and
well kept, und that is giving both thee
and me our dues. Now, pretty one,”
said he, liding one of the measures or
glasses which had been placed beside
tiie stoop, “will thou drink this to thy
sweetheart’s health ?”
Tbe poor country girl to whom this
was addressed declined the proffered
civility, and with a blush, hut the land
lady t xoliiimi.d, -‘Come, silly wench,
drink Ids worship’s health ; he is more
likely to gel then a service, if it so
please him. t .an John Hodge, the wag
oner.”
“This giil has come many a mile,’’
continued the hoslisq “to seek a place
in town, that she m .y bj a ht rJeu her
family no more I home.”
“To leek service!” exclaimed the ‘■
brevvi r; “why then, perhaps, it is well j
met with us. lias *he brought a clmr
i acter with Iter, or can you speak far |
her. dame ?”
•■Sue has never y el ho -n from home,,
■.ir, hut her face is her character,” said j
ihu kind-heart, and lady; >TII warrant
•-lie will he diligent and trusty.”
“Upon my prophecy, hostess, I will I
take In r into my service ; for hut yes- j
terday my house-keeper was Complai i
ing ol the wanted help, since this depti-1
tysliip hrougiit mo more in the way of j
enteriaiuing the people ofiliu ward.”
Ere the wealthy brewer and deputy
let! the Goal and Compasses, arrange-!
menls were made for sending the ccun-
Iry girl to his house, in the city on the :
f llovvdug day. Proud of having done,
a good action, the garrulous hostess’
toor. advantage of the circumstance, to!
deliver an immensely long harangue to I
the young woman on her new duties, j
and on toe dangers to which youth is ‘
exposed in large oils s. Tiie girl heard
her benefactress with modest thankful-j
ness, but a more minute observer than j
: the good landlaby might have seen in |
ilie eye and countenance of the girl a;
quiet firmness of expression, such as
inignt have induced the cutting short ol
tbe lecture. However, the. landlady's!
lecture bad an end and towards the,
; evening of tiieday following her arrival
! at the Goat and Compasses, the youth
ful rustic found herself installed as
hbu'semaid in the dwelling of the rich
Ore tvor.
The fortunes of this gill it isour pur
pose to follow. Tbe. lihit change which
look place in her condition subsequent
to that related, was her elevation to tlie
vacated post of house-keeper in the
brewer’s family. In this situation she
was bn ng t more than tkrui'-ily in con
tael with tier master, wiio found ample:
means of admiring her propriety ol
c n .ucf, rs well as her skillful econo
my and management. By degress he
beann lo find tier presence necessary to
his happiness, and being a man ol bah
honorable and independent mind, lie at
|,.le-ih ollertd her bis band, it was
accepted, and she who hut fburorfive
years before hid her country home
baieldoted, became the wife of one of
mi-, richest ci:i/.ms ■<t London.
i'Y,r many years Mr. Aylesbury, f r
suc.h was the riairie of the brewer, uni
his wile lived in happiness arid comfort
together. He was a man of good fami
ly and connections, and consequently of
iiiolier breeding than his Wife could
boast, hut on no occasion had he to blush
(bribe partner he had chosen. Her
calm i:icorn strength, if not digni'y of
1 character, conjoined with an extreme
quickii vs of perception, made her fill
her place ul her husband's table with
a., much ’Vac •an i ere lit as it -o had
PENFiELD, (A. MARCH 5, 1853.
been born to the station. And, as the
; lime ran on, the respectability oi Mr. j
Aylesbury’s position received a gradu--
nl increase. He became an alderman,!
and subsequently a sheriff of the city, |
and in consequence of the latter eleva
’ tion, was knighted. Afterwards, and j
now pan of the mystery projected at
the commencement of this story must be
broken in upon, as far as time is con-1
corned —afterwards tlie important place
which the brewer held in the city
called upon him the attention and lavor,
; of the King, Charles the First, then an.\
imis to conciliate the good will ol the!
citizens, ami the knight rect ived lhe|
tui tlier honor of b irouetcy.
Lady Aylesbury in the first year of j
married life gave birth to a daughter,:
who proved to ho an only child, and .
around whom as was natural, all the
hopes and wishes of the parents en
twined the i use Ivi s, This daughter had j
(ini v i “ mle and the age o! seventeoii wV.cn ,
h"i iiiher died h aving an immense
lorlune Dehiii,l imn. It was first
t enig ,t tie: .vi . . -tad ;mr daughter
would b <o <; inheritors of this
1 with n -> 1 pale. But
it pi -v ! . .t. Crii.ii.dativesj
(and ine . . s.-t up a plea
upon laun sit i ol a will made in
wcarne
m irr.■ U- ,sa o r woutctl firmness.
La iy Ay t>s . : mnf ii.c-dy took ‘
steps I >r he vn riicalioit ot her own and
j her light ,r‘- . . A young law-
! yer, vv no hid b en a fii-quent guest at
tier husband's table, and of vv hose tibili
;ty she had tm med h high opinion, sh ■
had fixed up hi us a legal ass rter of her
: cause. Edward llyde “as indeed a
youth of great ability. Though only
j twenty-four years of ago at the period
referred to, and though lie had spent
j much oftiis youthful time in the society
lot the gay and the fashionable of the
; day, he had not neglected the pursuits
to which his family’s wish its well as
his own tastes had devoted. 15ut it was
with considerable hesitation, and a feel
ing ol anxious dididence that he con
sented to undertake the charge of Lady
Aylesbury’s case, for certain strong
■ though unseen and unacknowledged
! sensations, were at work in his bosom,
: to make him fearful of the responsibili
i ty amt anxious about the result.
The young lawyer, however, became
j counsel for the brewer’s widow and
! daughter, and by a striking exertion of
j eloquence, and d'Sjdav of legal ability,
I gained the .-nit. Two (lavs after Hie
i successful pleader was seated beside
: his :wo clients.
Lady Aylesbury’s usual manner was
quiet and composed, hut she now spoke
war nly ot her gratitude to the preserv
!er of her daughter from want, and also
lend’ ted it fee —a payment magnificent
, indeed tor the occasion. The young
1 barrister did not s**em at ease during
Lady Aylesbury’s expies.-bon of her
j feelings, lie shifted upon his chair,
changed color, looked at Miss Ayles
; bury, played with the purse before him,
tried in speak, but stopped short, arid
; changed culm's again. Thinking only
jof best expi easing her gratitude, Lady
i Aylesbury appeared not to notice her
1 visitor’s Contusion, hut arose saying,
“In token that I hold your services
| above compensation in the way of mou
ley, ! wish also to give you a memorial
!of my gratitude in another shape.”
As -she spoke thus she drew a hunch of
: keys from her pocket, which every lady
I carried in those days, and left the room.
W hut passed during her absence be
; tween the: parties whom she left togeth
er will b ■ best known by the result.— 1
| When Lady Aylcsbuey returned, she •
.found her daughter standing with aver.
, ten eyes, hut her bund within that of
! Edward llyde, who knelt on the moth-;
: er’s entrance and besought her consent!
Mo their union. Explanations of the
feeling which the parties entertained;
tor each other, ensued, and Lady Ay- j
lesbury was not long in giving the de-1
sired consent. “Give me leave, how.
, ever,” said she to the lover, “10 place!
around your neck the inoinorial which
l intended for you. This chain”—n
was a superb gold ono—“was a token!
of gratitude from the ward in which he
lived to rny <L ar husband.” I, iiy Ay
lesbury ’s calm, serious eyes were filled
with t urs, as s. e threw the chain!
around TJ ward's neck, saying, “these!
links were borne on the neck of the
worthy and lionori and man. May thou,’
my son, attain 1 1 still higft honors.”
I lie wish was fulfilled, though not 1
! till danger and siifieriug liad tried sc
ver dy tli ‘ parties concern’ and. The
son-in-law of L dy Aylesbury become l
an eminent menile r of the Kuglish bar, 1
an t a iso an i nportuht speaker in th •
Parliament. Wiif.-n Oliver Cromwell
hrougiit tiin king to the scullbid, and’
establish’ u the common wealth, .Sir Jvi
ward Jiv'd'! tor lie held a government
post, amt had been knighted—was too 1
prominent a menibfci of the royalist par
ty to escape tiie enmity of the new ru
lers, arid was obliged to reside upon the
continent till the restoration. When
abroad, lie was so much e.tcem and bv
the exiled prince (afterwards Cmiiies
II ).ns to be appoint? I Lord High Chun
icellorof England, which appointment
was coiifirnied wlien tins king was re.
stored to his throne. Some years af
terwards, Hyde was elevated to the
peerage, first in the rank of baron, and
subsequently as Earl of Clarendon—a
title which he madu famous in English
history.
These events, so briefly narrated, oc
cupied a large space of time, during
which Lady Aylesbury passed her days
in quiet and retirement. She hud now
hart liie gratification of beholding her
daughter Countess of Clarendon, and
seeing the grand children she had born
to her, mingle as equals with the no
blest of the land. But a still more ex
ited fate awaited the descendants of
the poor friendless girl who had come
to London in search ol service, in u
wagoner’s van. Her grand.daughter,
Anna Hyde, a young lady ofapirit, wit
an I beauty,* had Ins.u appointed, while
her family stayed abroad, one of the
maids of honor to the Princess of Ur
auge, and in that situation had attrac-
ted so strongly the regard of James,
Duke of Vork, and brother of Charles
11, that lie contracted u private marri
age with her. The birth of a child.
j O
1 forced oil a public announcement of
I tli is con Iraq:, and ere long the grand.
daughter of Lady Aylesbury was open-
Ily received as Duchess of York, and
; sister.iii-!:iw of the sovereign.
Luly Aylesbury did not long survive
tins event. Bui cro she dropped into
the giave, at a ripe old age, she saw
her descendants heirs presumptive to
die British crown. King Charles had
married, but bad no legitimate issue,
and accordingly his brother’s family
had the prospects and rights of succes
sion. And, in reality two immediate
descendants of the barefooted country
girl did liil the throne—Mary (wife ol
William 111.) and tiueen Arm, prin
cess, both of illustrious memory.
Such was the fortune of the young
woman in whom the worthy landlady
■of the Goat and Compasses was fearful I
of encouraging too rash a hope by ref
erence to the lofty position which it hud
been her own late to attain in life. In
! one assertion at least, the hostess was
undoubtedly right, that success in life
must he labored tor in some way or oili
er. Without tlie prudence and pro
priety of conduct which won the love
and esteem ot the brewer, t"e sequel to
the country girl’s history could not
have been such as it is.
The Stiver Coinage.
Tiio House of Representatives, on
Monday, passed the bill, which passed
the Senate at I lie last session, amenda
tory of tho existing laws regulating the
j coinage of half dollar, quarter dollar,

Columubs, Gu., Feb. Kith, ’53.
I'ntic lieu: 1 would not have you
’ suppose that 1 have forgotten von, be
; cause of my long silence, neither would
j ■ have you think that my warm feel
| mgs in the great cause of Tempo ran *a,
alias, truth and virtue, have firr tlx* |tfa st
waned; ort the contrary, my whole
heart is as much in the cause now as
ever. Bull have sealed myself to tell
you, and all the friends of our cause,
that Hewlett lias been once mure among
us > mid oh, how wish 1 possessed the
gilt to give you a description of his in
linkable speedi. ft Was ugreut—grand
—glorious effort, und if ho makes the
same sort of speeches wherever ho
goes, victory will ere long perch itself
upon our flag stutl. \ou have never
seen our Hall,—l mean our 7e/;i/>or
tiiicc Hull ! Well its some in dimen
sions for a town of our population, oa
pable of.seating near a thousand people,
and brilliantly ligbied with lluid lamps.
Well, the sovereigns and the Indies,-
(bless their sweet luces,j commenced
docking in almost as soon as the first
lamp was lighted, and they con-tiuued
to pour in in throngs, lid about 7 o’clock
when uli became still, by ono rup on the
table, from that venerable man of God
and temperance, tlie Rev. Ur. Pierce,
(may ho have yet many days to live,
und see the triumph of tho two groat
causes nearest tnu aged heart,; who’
opened the exer.ises by an appropriate
appeal to tlie (iod ol tho universe to
come und preside over our deliberations;’
after which he rcud out the names of
the delegates from this county to tho
Convention in Atlanta. I wish 1 could
recollect the names, as they uro all
strung men and true. Among them
are Jus. M. Clumbers, Editor of the
Scil of the South, Rev. Mr. Scott, Edi.
lor of Southern School Journal, Dr. J.
.1. Boswell, Maj.D. i'.iornton, ulljus tho
before, good men and true, to which-
Rev. Dr. Pierce was added.
Now, Uncle Ben, if all the counties
send such a delegation, there will bo
something done certain.
But Hewlett—what u big little mans
His entrance wus greeted with pro
longed cheering, mid when ho arose to’
coimruneuce his speech, every one be
gun to spread their mouths for a hearty
t laugh,—‘the ladies to fix their snow.
! white cambrics to hide their cherry
i li|<s, when the laugh commenced ; well 1
we were not kept long in waiting, lor
bo soon had us shaking our sides mud’
they ached, and then us if by magic, wo
were shedding tears, while ho depicted
tiie destruction of die Henry Clav.— *
1 bus he went on—and on, swi oping
down every mountain of objection, to
him but moll hills, until we verily
thought there was not a plunk loft for
the poor, deluded grog.seller to stand
upon. His speech was a decent, genv
tlernanly answer to t be objections of tho
! grog-seller, and l feel satisfied, will be
j productive of much good.
I see by the papers that some of dm
j citizens of Oglethorpe county have
j started a counter petition to be presen.
’ ted to tli,-! legislature. Well, this is a
; free country, uni if a man chooses, ho
may kill somebody and get hung fbr it;
I but thunk Heaven, there are few men,
I hope, who will edi mse ruin, injustice,
immorality, ignorance mid poverty, in
preference io prosperity, justice, moruL
ity and intelligence; if it does prove’
no to be, then i liavc riot properly judged
the Tmpire Stale of'.lie South.
15ut I have made this lottor much
longer than I intended when I sat down',,
and I must drop the quill and to bust,
