ESCULAPIUS, SENIOR AND JUNIOR. 



Ji:.KSnd Makt Wait were orphans. They lived 

 in no old-fashioned country f&rm-bouse, and though 

 beloved by their own little circle of neighbors the 

 world knew nothing of them ond they knew as 

 little of the world. Mart taught the^yillage 

 sohool and Jekky earned what she could with her 

 needle. She waa a delicate girl, deformed from 

 ohltdhuod, and though always cheerful and gene- 

 rally hapw. she shrank with sensitive timidity from 

 contact with atrangerp. 



Together, through childhood and girlhood, the 

 Bisters traversed the rough way of life hand in 

 hand, till, veiy gently, the summoning angel sepa- 

 rated them. It waa very still, very lonely in the 

 old house in the summer twilight, when Mary stood 

 at the open window, the evening after the funeral, 

 and looked throngh gushing tears op to that heav- 

 en whither father, mother, and Jenny, had gone 

 before her. 



With a dull sense of sorrow weighing upon her 

 spirits Mart passed a Tew weeks with no apparent 

 change in her life, nothing to interrupt the vacant 

 monotony. But something must be done. She 

 was neither rich nor idle that Bhe conld live with- 

 out, labor— she waa no longer very yoang and was 

 never very pretty, so Bhe waa not likely Boon to be 

 the recipient of a fortune. 



She thought Bhe should like to be a governess, 

 hut Bhe feared her acquirements would prove too 

 limited. Her education comprised only the com- 

 mon English branches, a little French, and a little 

 needlework. "Nothing venture, nothing have.'' — 

 Therefore she determined to try, as she conld do 

 no worse than fail, as many others do. According, 

 ly the following notice found ita way into the 

 " SIttropolLtan Courier's" column of "Wants." 



LOvo 





Three weeks passed away during which time 

 Mary watched and hoped for a letter but none 

 came. The column of <■ Wants'' was each day 

 eagerly scanned in the hope of something favora- 

 ble. At lougtu the wave of fortune drifted thia 

 fragment to her feet. 



The next morning a little woman in black 

 alighted from the cars and presented herself at the 

 office of the ■■ Metropolitan Courier." She waa 

 politely received by the editor, and by him intro 

 doced to her new employer — Dr. Waaksh. We 

 copy from her journal a few lines descriptive of 

 that gentleman as he then appeared to her. 



"He waa tall, and seemed the personification of 

 neatneBB— his plain suit of black broadcloth, glos- 

 sy bat, shining boots and black gloves, beinij alike 

 froo from spot or blemish. No one would have 

 called him dandified, yet a love of dress waa evi- 

 dent He appeared to be about fifty years of age; 

 but though his face was plentifully wrinkled, his 

 hair was B UU as black and shining as a raven's 

 wing. Hu nose was thin and sharp, and his eyes 

 wore blue, keen but smiling In expression. Iu 

 abort, but for the amiability of his countenance, I 

 should have called it an extremely homely one.— 

 But beauty of feature, u sometbiug upon which I 

 should not be fastidious as I bm generally acknowl- 

 edged to be ' decidedly plain' myself." 



Dr. WARNSRbad ioat been appointed" guardian 

 to a young girl of nearly seventeen )ear<, ibeonly 

 daughter o* one of his moat intimate and valued 

 frlenda. Fanny (TNia was a wild, an-amed little 

 beauty whose home culture had oevn been uf the 



best, and who itemed t 





In education the wae as deficient as a child 

 though the h?d almost arrived at womanhood. — 

 She loved nothing so much as her own way, but 

 she had seen a pretty, btuf-tjrnnnlcul, half coaxing 

 way of making her wishes known that one coold 

 scarce resist her. To cultivate this wild flower 

 waa henceforth to be the task of Uaky Wait, and 

 at Greendale, the Doctor's country honse, we shall 



Onoe more we have recourse to her Journal for 

 we can thus learn better than in any other way, 

 her first impressions and emotions In her new 



" I am not greatly prepossessed with my new pu- 

 pil, a plump, rosy-cheeked girl. Bhe is pretty, 

 there is no denviug that. Her black eyes seem to 

 twinkle with preconcerted mlscnief, and her ropy 

 lips are ready at any moment to part aud give vent 

 to peals of merry laughter. But there fs, witbul, 

 in both face and form, a saucy imperlousneas so 

 strangely at variance with her apparent good- 

 nature, as to be almost ludicrous. 



"She received me with aa lady-like civility as 

 she knew how and made proper arrangements for 

 my comfort, but I could plainly see that she watch- 

 ed every look and motion with a jealous eye — 

 While I changed my dress aud rearranged my hair, 

 I saw in the mirror that she scrutinized each arti- 

 cle, and seemed to be iu serious thought — not quite 

 favorable to its suljeotto judge from her face, 



" At first I thonght 1 would take no notice of her 

 manner, but thinking it might be better to show a 

 good-natured consciousness of her critiottm, I 

 turned and said laughingly, 



'Well, how do Isuitr 



'I haven't made op my mind yet,' Bhe replied 

 with perfect gravity. 'Let's go to tea.' 



" Ere we reached the dining hall her spirits bad 

 returned, end with a mocking air, she said to a 

 young fellow who was leaning upon a window 



' Oscar, allow me to introduce you to Miss Wait, 

 my new teacher. Mlsa Wait, this ia Dr. Oscar 

 Warnbh, to be — a nephew of my esteemed guar- 

 dian, and at present a student of medicine.' 



"After this osleutatious introduction, she took 

 her place at the head of the table with due 

 propriety. 



" During Enpper Dr. Warnbr conversed with me 

 at intervals and I found him a very sensible and 

 affable man. I said but little myself, for I wa» 

 painfully conscious that Oscar listened to and ob- 

 served me attentively, while a pair of roguish black 

 eyes at the head of the table, Beemed to take na 

 both into their line of vision, aud never wandered 

 except when exchanging a miithfn! glance or a 

 witty Bally with with Dr. Wabner or Oscar. 



"After teal eat down near a window in the par- 

 lor to enjoy the soft June twilight, the beautiful 

 scenery, and reflect upon my new poaitioD. The 

 Doctor's library adjoined thia room by folding 

 doors and wus entered fiotn the hall. I soon heard 

 voices within aud easily distinguished the touesof 

 Fanny and her guardian. Without tiny wish to be 

 a listener I could cot help overhearing what she 

 said. Her guardian b.id just asked her how she 

 liked her new friencf, Miss Wait. 



' 0, 1 don't kuuw, Doctor, really? She's a queer 

 little body with her black dress and short curls. — 

 Don't yon think so? What made you get a lady in 

 black, guardian? You know I have a horror of 

 anything gloomy.' 



' Why child, how did I know she wore black un- 

 til I came to see her. And when I did see her I 

 was so well pleased with her appearance that I 

 thought you would be sure to like her.' 



'0, la! nncle Esculaffcs, yon and I are two 

 different people. You like little primmt/ folks. I 

 want Borne spirit. But I dare say I shall be able to 

 get some fun ont of her. She will certainly do 

 better than being alone, as I have been nearly 



My dear, I do not think you regard this young 





rUhl D 





to furnish amusement for you, but to do yon good, 

 If she can; and allow me to add, that my little 

 ward is not so perfect or so polished yet, but there 

 la room for considerable improvement.' 



"I presume there was some pouting, for I next 

 heard a half-fretful, half jestiog voice saying," 



'There! I knew it would be bo. Ibnewyouwould 

 be ashamed of my ill-manners, and lecture or scold 

 me before I had been here a month.' 



'Fanny!' 



"It waa nil bo said, bat it was so gently, depre- 

 catingly spoken, that you might almost have 

 thought it was a women's voice that uttered the 

 word. A moment after I heard a kiss, which I 

 knew most have been given by Fanny to her ' dear 

 old Escolaphjs,' and then she flew ont cf the 



The days flew fast during that first summer of 

 Mary's experience as a governess. She had some 

 trials, mostly on Fanny's account, but tho doctor 

 was so kind, and rendered her situation so pleasant, 

 that she would have felt sorry to relinquish It. 



She endeavored to do her duly faithfully, and 

 trusted to patience and perseverance to win the 

 love of her undisciplined charge. A petted child 

 of wealth and fashion, she hud been too long ac- 

 customed to follow the dictates of her own will, 

 to submit with propriety to guidance. Mary per- 

 formed towards her rather the part of a fiiend 

 than a governess. Their employments werOBhared 

 in common. They read, walked, rode or studied 

 together during the day, and passed the evenings 

 la quiet home pleasures; usually Miss Wait sewed 

 or conversed with the Doctor, while Fanny played 

 the piano and sang with Oscar. 



Miss Wait sought rather to make of Fanny a 

 refined and agreeable companion, than a learned 

 woman, therefore her teaching waa more by sym- 

 pathy and example, than by precept. 



Fanny was rather indolent in her habits, more 



■ Ol I 



t of i 



idleness. &ne naunoiewtn Bumcloat love of dross 

 to take pride ia appearing becomingly. Miss 

 Wait really loved her young friend. She could 

 not long be with her and not love her. Fanny 

 too, in time seemed to part with all prejudice 

 which she might have entertained towards her 



kind aud faithful teacher, so 



that the difficulties in 



her path, if not entirely re 



moved, were greatly 



Atthhiim-s Miss Wait w 



ote thus o*fier: 



ly, i'.ud though she seems to be gnlded 

 more by impulse than principle, still there is in 

 her nature a strong foundation of good, moral 

 qualities, Buny for a fault aa soon an committed, 

 she Is never tardy or sulky in acknowledging her 

 repeutance.and will not reBt until re-instated In 

 favor. Her ready wit, and obeerful, aunny face, 

 are tho life and light of ourotherwise quiet house- 

 hold, and though her guardian has occasion fre- 

 quently to cmb her excitable temper, or reprove 

 her saucy thoughtlessness, she generally clings to 

 blm with such a playful, yet regretful appeal, that 

 he can never be really vexed with her. I cannot 

 help perceiving that her very faults are daily 

 rendering her more precious in the sight of him 

 who tries to think himself her dtiaitcrtstti pro- 

 tector I" 



Ko pains were spared by Dr. Warner or Oscar 

 in making them enjoy themselves. One summer, 

 it was a trip to the White Mountains, the next, 

 perhaps, Saratoga; and In winter, parties and con- 

 certs furnished ample food for pleasure, while 

 Christmas and birthdays, were marked with beau- 

 tiful and appropriate gifts. 



Never bud Miss Wait been bo happy. She had 

 never Imagined that ahe could have bo pleasant 

 a home among Btrangers. It waa easy to bear with 

 Fanny's inequalities of temper, in the happlueBB 

 of knowing that ahc had beoured her love, and that 

 all songlit to contribute to her welfare. 



But ere long Bhe had a new source of anxiety, 

 and one which did not so readily leave her as any 

 of which Fanny was the cause. 



Through a more intimate acquaintance with Dr. 

 Warn BR. she had come to feel for him the highest 

 regard. His upright character aud excellent dis- 

 position were calculated to win the admiration of 

 any one, but placed as she was, in a dependent 

 position, yet treated with the consideration of an 

 equal, it waa not strange that she felt for hlin a 

 deeper respect then she had ever felt for any man 

 eave her father. 



Yon will say that she loved Dr. Warner. I will 

 not contradict yon. I only ask yon to place your- 

 self in her position, and say whether you should 

 have loved him. I hope that neither MARYoraDy 

 other woman whom I admire, will ever be so weak 

 and desperate as to throw away her heart unasked, 

 yet this much I will say, that had Dr. Warner 

 cared enough about her to wish to make her his 

 wife, I think she would most likely have accepted 

 biro, and tried to love him as ehe ought It would 

 not have been a great trial either. 



But it waa no hopeless affection of l.trs wbloh 

 furnished her n subject of anxiety. With her 

 knowledge of human nature, and her intimacy 

 with Fanny, she bad learned to tell the signs and 

 qualities of her attachments. She knew that the 

 dependent, almost childish fondness which she 

 lavished up;>n her guardian, was a different thing 

 from the, at times, shy, often petulant, or as sud- 

 denly softened manner which marked her inter- 

 course with Osoap. Very different indeed. 



But if Cupid is blind, Dr. Warner was not lesBBO. 



Wherever the party wero seen, Oscar seemed 

 by geaeral consent to be Fanny's escort, while Dr. 

 Warner wjb left, to attend on Miss Wait. How 

 ever, he seemed as well Buittd with this arrange 

 ment as the young people,— content, apparently, to 

 wutch the flushed cheek and beaming eye, or 

 bear the merry laugh of hiaward, happy, because 

 Bhe waB so, and becausa he had power to give her 



At such times he talked much of Fanny— made 

 numerous inquiries into her tastes, and progress- 

 listened with delighted attention to her sayings 

 and doings, as related by Miaa Wait, or would 

 draw attention to her as, in some gay mood, her 

 animated face was turned towards him. Was this 

 disinterestedness? Dear, foolish old gentleman! 

 Yet not more foolish than thousand* have been 

 before him. He was deluding and intoxicating 

 his matured brain, with a boyish dream — yet all 

 the while trying to persuade himself that he was

SCOTCH AND MANCHESTER PRUDENCE, 



We are indebted to a respected foreign contem- 

 porary, Frazer's Magazine, for two capital illustra- 

 tions of genuine prudence: 



"About sixty or seventy years ago, when the 

 manufacturing trade was in its infancy, several 

 poor Scotchmen settled in Manchester, who ulti- 

 mately became millionaires, and whoBe descendants 

 are still connected with tho city. We were speak- 

 ing a short time ago with a very old woman who 

 knew one of these men in his early atruggles — 

 HiB landlady thonght he paid too little for his 

 room, and was determined to raise his rent from 

 la. Gd. to Is. 8d. per week. Thia tho Scotohman 

 stoutly resisted, and was resolved to peck up his 

 baggage and be gone, rather thon pay a fraction 

 more than eighteen-pence. After gaining this 

 point, he concluded the dispute with this maxim, 

 which ought to be remembered by our young men; 

 'It Isn't that I mind eae muckle for the odd tup- 

 pence—but ye ken, Betty, it's the bre;ikin' into u 

 fresh piece o' siller 1' 



" We met onrselves with a similar illustration of 

 Manchester prudence in connection with our great 

 Exhibition. 'Why did you not take two guinea 

 tickets for yourself nnd family V we asked a gentle- 

 man of considerable property, 'the guinea invest- 

 ment, you know, does not admit you to the gay 

 promenade days.' ' Listen to me, young man,' he 

 said, 'don't talk without thinking. It is not that I 

 care for four two guinea tickets; but,' — dropping 

 his voice aa though he wished to Impress on me a 

 secret, a now truth — 'don't you see, it would have 

 Involved a twenty guinea dress apiece for my wife 

 and two daughters.' " 



" Young America" should take these lessons to 



Audibon has left on record Ihe following impor- 

 tant sentence: — "Two persons who have chosen 

 each other out of all the species, with the design 

 to bo each other's mutual comfort and entertain- 

 ment, have, iu that very action, bound themselves 

 to be good-humored, affable, joyful, forgiving, and 

 patient, with respect to each other's frailties and 

 imperfections, to the end of their lives." 



The chief secret of comfort Ilea In not suffering 

 Hies to vex one, and in prudently cultivating an 

 udergrowth of small pleasures, since very few 

 reat ones are let on long leases.
