A touch of golden glory. Was on her wavy hair, Her face, with rose-tint on the cheek. Was like tlie lily fair.—Miss 11. F. Gould. ; There wore jjtoups of people standing I about on the piazzas of spacious hotels I at the ‘springs, when we at last drove tij> jin front of them. Most of these were ! fashionably clad, genteel looking indi viduals—persons with fortunes at tlieir command, or portionless young men and women, widowers and widows, who had come there entertaining perhaps a vague j hope of bettering tlieir conditions in life, !bv making advantageous matches. Few I I saw at a glimpse were invalids, caring ! to be bein titt si by the medicinal virtues jof the waters. Yet. here and there, was ’ vi.'ible a hectic cheek, an attenuated form, a hollow eye, and a languid loi terer, to whom life seemed a very bur den. My attention was particularly attract ed lo a young girl, who was standing al most upon the steps, with lief elbow ! testing carelessly upon the neatly paint ed and curioflsly twisted iron railing by her side. She was as beautiful as the creatures in a poet’s dream. Her hair, golden, soft and wavy, fell in a mass of natural ringlets to her waist,. She had a sylph-like figure robed in soft white muslin, and her face, neck and hands were as pure as alabaster, except that her cheek had borrowed from the breeze a faint blush, like that sometimes seen at the heart of a rose. Now and then she turned t.o converse with an aged, white haired old man who sat on one end of a bench, holding with both hands i a gold headed cane between bis knees, and carelessly resting the point of his ■ chin upon its summit, while ho surveyed j the members of our group, now wending j tlieir way towards the porch. VVe were j j dusty and travel-soiled, ands saw that I I Miss Church for one would gladly have j ; avoided passing thro’ so many parties of Igaylv dressed persons. She drew the ; veil closely over her face, aud walked be- ; ! hind my grandmother, at the same time : j holding me fast by the hand. Cousin Fred was behind. We had however scarcely reached the steps on which the beautiful girl was standing, when he come dashing np in fine style, evidently bent, upon creating a sensation. I thought ;lint he accomplished his object, for sev ; oral turned to look at him, and let us pass on unheeded. The girl who was leaning upon the railing, seemed to he particularly struck with his appearance. “ Look father !” she said, “ what a handsome young officer! I wonder if ho is going to stop here ! O yes, I’m glad. Isn't he a fine looking fellow V’ “ Tut! tut!” said the old tnan, “ you are nothing but a romantic school-girl yet, I see Fanny. You have read too many novols, I’m afraid, for your good. You are always discovering handsome young heroes, and judging of persons by externals. I tell you now, Fanny, that way of doing things will never do. I *Copj right secured. am an old man, and I have seen a great deal of life, and I tell you that there’s no judging by the looks of a toad how far he will hop. Some of the ugliest hop the furthest, and some of the best look ing ones can t hop at all, and so it is with mankind. Appearances are very de ceptive.” “ But papa, he is fine looking. You . mist admit that, must’n't you ?” | “ I have hardly seen him yet, - ’ said j the old man rubbing his eyes, “ I’ve been j busy looking at his horse. I like his I appearance quite as much asl do that of his master.’’ “ Ilis horse ! papa,’” continued the girl, leaning forward in a most bewitching at titude, and surveying the animal, which Fred was consigning into the hands of j an officious groom who stood in waiting! for the reins : “ his horse is a noble an imal 1” , I did not hear the residue of the dia- ! logue. By this time my grandfather j had managed to mount lo the topmost! step, by the aid of his eh no, and we passed into a long passage, and on, up j several flights of stairs, leaving the smit ten belle and her more cautions papa on {the piazza. Our rooms were small, and inconve niently situated in respect to one anoth er. The furniture in them was scanty land badly kept. The little strip of car ! pet.ing which covered a few hoards only in front of the beds was sprinkled over : with feathers, which the chamber-maid j had shaken from the tick, in making up | the beds, and had neglected to remove. There was a thick coat of dust, upon chairs, wash-stand, and bed-post. — Tue duster was evidently as great a strangor there as the broom. The little windows were dirty too, and a comrnoS looking curtain made of funiture calico shut out what sunshine the dirt upot the panes did not exclude. Taking them’ all in all they were comfortless looking apartments, and my grandfather, who had been for such a long time accustom ed to the cool, nicely kept, .and richly furnished rooms at Oakland, regarded his with an air of dismay which it was well nigh amusing to witness. Is this the best that you can do for us V’ lie asked of the man who showed us the way, and told us the numbers of our respective apartments. “Are there not rooms on the lower floor which we could obtain ] The air here is as hot as j an oven.” The man evidently was used to fault finding; indeed he expected it. lie shook his head with a careless air. “ The very best that we can do, sir,’’ he said. “\ ou see the hotels at this sea son are filled to overflowing. We are obleeged sir to do almost every way in or der to make room for the new-coiners. — Only the other day, we were obleeged to sc-perate a man and his daughter sir— may be you know him —Doctor Bates, one of the richest gentlemen in these parts —we were obleeged to seperate them sir, and give her a room next door Ito you —No. 109 1-2, sir—you can see it just up the passage yonder, while the ! Doctor has a room upon the lower floor. ; The girl didn’t like it at all, sir, being j sent so far from ber parents —but you : see we were.obleeged to do it, sir.’’ Thus saying, the man tripped down jstaiis as lightly as he had tripped up. “Out on the fellow!’’ said iny grand { father. “ lie is obleeged to do too many ! things to suit me. If I had known that I had got to be dragged with my gouty ! foot, up ten pairs of stairs, and roasted to death after I had got up, I’ll be hang ed if Dr. Oleutt would have got me ofi at all. As it was, I only came to please Ellen there. But where is the girl !” I looked and saw the teacher sitling upon the edge of one of the beds. She | seemed very much fatigued, and was j paler if possible, than usual. Her rich i hair, from which she had removed her travelling bonnet had become unbound, and floated down upon her shoulders — her large expressive eyes had in them a ! dreamy, abstract igbt—she was evident* I ly thinking of something far away. The j paltry accommodations were nothing to j her —she did not heed the linty carpe ting sit her feet, nor the little cracked | mirror hanging against the wall, nor the wash-pitcher on which a week’s dust had settled. But my grandfather’s ques tion aroused her. She gathered hei j travelling bonnet by the strings and sat upright, and smiled at the idea of my grandfather coining there on her ac count. My grandmother meanwhile was bustling from room to room, and giving Tom and Mary sundry directions jibout, the baggage. At last it was all brought up •iiitl left in our rooms. Grandfath er and grand moth- r went to the apart ment assigned to them, and left Miss Church and I alone in the little hot room which we had first entered. No sooner had the door clasped behind them than Miss Church threw herself hack up on the pillow, and covered her face with both her hands. She laid thus for half an hour. Not a sigh escaped her lips —not a muscle moved—l could scarely perceive that she breathed. I was wait ing for Mary to come and unlock my trunk, and bmid and tie my hair and make my toilet. But she was in grand mother’s room, and it seemed to me that she was never coming. I got up and be gan tugging away at tny strings and but tons, myself. “ What are you doing ?” at last said TWO DOIT, ATI S A-YD ATI, IN ADVANCE. the teacher, lifting her head from the j pillow ? “ What are you Dying to do, Claude ?” “It is almost sunset,’’ I said “ and Mary I has not come to dress me yet. I am : trying to undo mv sacque and frock my self.” “ Let me assist you,” she continued, at- i tempting to rise. But she stopped and rested her head upon her hand. “ Oh, | how my head aches P she exclaimed. “ I ! can hardly-see. Is it getting dark, j i Claude, or am I fainting? Everything! | looks strange. Please call Mary.” 1 opened the door, and ran across; I the passage, heedless of my half fasten ed clothes. “ Cotne here, grandmother! ! and Mary; quick ! quick !” 1 said, “ Mi s ’ i Church is fainting.” j “ M hat is that ?” said my grand moth- j i er, sticking her half dressed head out. of ■ tlie door. “ What ‘s that, Claude ?” ! “ Miss Church has fainted, grand moth- j j er.” i “Mercy on us!”said the old lady.— “ Run quick Mary ! here take my salts j j —and where is the camphor bottle ? 1 ! I his comes of fa!-F'l’e, and du e room -, j Mr. Alston, do hand me mv wrapper. — | Ellen has fainted.” j We all made our wav, as fast as we j could, to tlie now entirely insensible girl. She had throw n herself back upon the i pillows, and tvas lying with closed eyes, ! and upturned face, as w hite as Parian i marble. She looked as if she might be 1 dead, only the ghast iness with which j the grim King of Terrors marks his vie j tuns Was not upon her features. 1 i think now, that she must have looked I somewhat as Eve the great mother of | Mankind did, ere the Ahniglitv “ breaih ;ed into her nostrils the breath of life,” | but I was too mueli frightened if not too 1 ignorant then, to make the comparison, i My grandfather as soon as he could get his wig on, and his cane (for he too was ! in the act of dressing) came to his wife's and Mary's assistance, lie sat down on tlie bed and took the gill’s head in his hands. “Run down stairs, quick, Mary or ; ring the hell, and see if there is a doctor 1 anywhere about, the premises !’’ he said. j“ If there is, toll him to come here im i mediately, for a lady has fainted.” j The servant went speedily, and soon ; returned, followed by the white headed ; old man, and a middle aged laitv, and the i beautiful girl, whom I laid seen upon j the steps. “ Has a lady fainted here?” said the 1 latter, pausing beside me tit tlie so >t of j the bed. “The servant said so, and we ; ct me up will) papa, to see if we could ! aid in restoring her. “ Mamma, come j here,” she continued, adi’ressln th middle aged lady, “unloose the lady's dress—throw some water in her face.— 1 declare! I am frightened almost to death P “ No cau-e for alarm !” said the Poo i tor. taking her wrist, and feeling; for her j pulse. “She has been travelling to day, | has she not, sir ?” My grandfather bowed, j “She is very much fatigued, and I spent,” continued the doctor, “and the I air in she.se upper rooms, is suffocating. Get me a tumbler girl. I will give her a mixture that w ill revive her.” Mary brought the sticky glass from the wash stand, and the Poet- r poured into it a white looking liquid and added a little water from the ewer. . lli.s wife, for such the middle aged lady proved to be, very kindly relieved my grandfather 1 ofthe burden lie had assumed, and look i his seat for the purpose of holding her ! head. The patient began to recover | slowly. She opened her eyes, and there i was a faint gleam of.consciousness in j them. Finally she was sufficiently a | roused by the doctor’s efforts, to swal low the contents of the tumbler. u She is very cold,” said my grandfath er taking hold of her hands. “Yes,” said the physician. “ Her hands had better he nibbed. Fanny, child, rub this one, while the lady chafes the other.” The beautiful girl obeyed with alacrity. She chafed with her small, white and feverish fingers Miss Church’s bloodless: palm, while my grandmother trembling- j lv worked over the oilier. .“ Do you feel <iek ?” said the doctor, addressing his patient, who was trying to raise her head aud comprehend what was going on about her—“ are } ousick l nauseated ?” “ A little sir, hut prav, w hap pened j Who are all these strange peo ple, standing about, me ? this is not mv room at Oakland, and where are Mrs. Alston and Claude ?

Don’t trouble yourselves fur- I tlier, 1 entreat \ou, about me.” j -“If you think that there is no dan i ger of your fainting again,” said the ! doctor, “we will leave you. But you had better not exert yourself too much. I would still keep on the bed—don’t get up—you uiHV not he as well as you ! fancy yourself to he.” Miss Church obeyed. She gathered : the pillows and propped herself however | nearly erect, but she <bd not offer to get off the bed. ’The doctor motioned to his wife and daughter to follow him. — The latter seemed reluctant to leave. | “Be i j laps, papa,” she said, “ I can be ; of some further service to the sick lad}’. The whole party is fatigued with trav : ding —can 1 help you any more ?” she {continued, turning with a bewitching smile to mv grandmother. “Pray! let me stay, if I can. Mv room is next door. I shall have no diificultv in find ing it. J can stay as well as not.” “ You are very kind,” said my grand , mother, “very kind indeed, and I for 1 one, am much obliged to you. But I think that Miss Church is much better, ; and Claude (mv little arandchild here,) I and I. are too much fatigued to think of going below We can re ! main with her.” *’ Well, if you want me,” said the i beauty, “just, let me know. I will call iii agai i in the course of an hour or two, ! o see how the lady is,” and she smiled and b >wed her golden head with an un afi cIII grace w hich was truly captiva ! ting. 1 “Tlia’ is a beautiful girl,” said my j grandfather. ! “And as amiable as she is lovely, I : should judge,” replied my grandmother, j ‘lt is really soul-cheering to meet with -ucli kindness among strangers; hut Miss j Church, how do you feel ? Do you think ; that there is any danger of your fainting i again ? I declare I was so much frigh- I tetied that I cannot get over trembling.

If I do, Mary can j tender it. Do go to your room, and if you feel too lift'd to make a suitable toi j let for going avrumg strangers to-nignt, you can lie down and rest yourself.” ! My grandmother would not hear to j ‘bis suggestion, hut sat down near the bed and fanned herself vigorously with a palmetto tan, w Inch Mary brought to 1 her. My grandfather got up to take his depa Cure. j “ You see Ellen,” he said with some degree of pleasantry in his makers, “that. I was right: you are the invalid at the springs.” “ It does seem so,” said Miss Church smiling, “ hut I shall soon he convales cent, 1 I rust.” ! “Cod grant it child! God grant it! ; Health is everything in this world. Al most everything at any rate. If we have not that, we may have everything else, and still he miserable. If you feel any thing like fainting again you had better call Doctor Bates in immediately. I'll go to mv room now or rather to my ov en, and finish dressing.” So saying ho win out. “Health is a gicat. thing,” said my grandmo’her, “But there is something w hich will enable us to be cheerful even under the loss of ihat: I mean Religion. That, is after all the only ,thiiig which jean render life, under some circumstan ces, supportable. Possessing that, we have a sure shield —an abiding resting place. 1 hold that nobody but the true Christian, can he happy—truly happv in this checkered, mortal existence.” “ And is the true Christian,” asked M ss Church at the same time turning a corner ftt the counterpane around her fin ger, “ happy under all circumstances, Mrs. Alston. Is his peace of mind nev er shaken by untoward events? Is ho at all times, able to preserve a complete serenity of soul ?” “ 1 do not sav,” said my grandmother, “ that the follower of the Lamb never sees any despondent hours. The best man that ever lived, has clouds to some th: es low er over his path, hut the Chris tian has a place of refuge, and a Comfort er, evep the blessed Comforter sent by an ascended Savior from heaven, when earth ly friends have ceased to smile.” Miss Church covered her face again with her hands. There was that in her Uir which said, “ Oh that so great a comforter were mine!” CHAPTER VIII.
