“ Where doeB she live?” 
“ O, her home is in Northern New York, some¬ 
where near Luke Champlain, but I direct her let¬ 
ters to Albany now, where she is residing with a 
rich aunt.” 
“ Ah, her parents are poor, then.” 
" No, but they have family troubles. Mr. West 
has a second wife, who is a termagant, J guess, 
for my poor little Miriam always shudders when 
she speaks of her.” 
“ Why do you call her ‘ little,’— is she so very 
petite f” inquired Sklwy.v, apparently much inter¬ 
ested. 
”0, no,— her figure is somewhat slight, but 
quite tall, and pliant as a willow. I have always 
associated Miriam West with the azure clusters 
of little violets in our conservatory. She is not 
perpetually sunny, for a steady blaze of smiles are 
not natural to any face, but you never could call 
it absolutely cloudy, only a subdued moonlight 
veils her features sometimes.” 
“ Bravo! you are really quite eloquent. Now I 
want to know when this paragon of innocence 
and loveliness will arrive here.” 8jbmvyn had 
arisen from the sofa, and was pacing the room in 
a musing mood during a part of the foregoing 
conversation, but now he paused by Ada’s chair. 
She looked up into his face archly, while a smile 
half serious, half playful, wavered over her lips, 
as she replied, 
“ To-morrow afternoon,—bnt cousin, she is art¬ 
less, and unaccustomed to the ways of the world. 
Will not you promise me, not to wither my wild 
rose, with deceptive influences?” 
The gentleman's countenance assumed a very 
grave expression, and his proud lips quivered 
with emotion. Ada’s words caused the frivolity 
of his past life to assume a distinct form. 
Their conversation was here interrupted, and 
three hours later Sklwyn Hoi.mes was clearing 
a passage through the crowd which lined the 
wharf, for the timid stranger at bia side. He 
assisted the little veiled figure into the omnibus, 
and addressed a few kind, polite words, which 
were responded to by a clear, sweet voice, with a 
refined accent; and long ere they were set down 
at the marble steps of the elegant mansion upon 
Fifth Avenue, his heart inwardly confessed a 
curiosity to behold the face of hia modest com¬ 
panion. ******* 
A week has passed, and we will look in upon 
the two young ladies who me having a tete-atele 
by themselves. 
“What a strange, reserved persoD, your cousin 
is, Ada. We have not exchanged three words in 
conversation since my arrival bore.” 
“Yes, he is somewhat eccentric, but the icy 
crust will melt before the light and warmth of 
your presence, eie long. Bless your dear eyes,— 
how I have longed to see them,” and Ada drew 
Miriam's head upon her lap, and gazed very 
fondly into the upturned face. 
“How natural it seems, to have you pet me 
once more,” again ran the sweet low voice. “I 
feel very safe with you—the wide world has no 
other sheltering branch of friendship for me to 
rest beneath. Aunt 11 ildukd is cold and stiff, and 
when J become chilled by the atmosphere of her 
presence, 1 steal away to my own room, where I 
love to sit surrounded by those dear friend a, my 
books.” 
“ Well, you shall stay here until after the holi¬ 
days. Papa says that I may have 
I khmemiier the day when my spirit would torn 
From the fairest of sceuee and the sweetest of song, 
When the heart of tin) stranger seemed coldly to burn, 
Aud tbe moments of pleasure for ui« were too long; 
For one name and one form shone in glory aud light, 
Aud lured back from all that might tempt me to roam; 
The festal was joyous, but not so bright 
Ab the smile of my mother, the star of my home. 
1 remember the days when the tear filled my eye, 
And the bearing sob wildly disturbed my young 
breast; 
But the baud of the loved one the lashes would dry, 
And her soothing voice Inti my chafed bosom to rest. 
Tbe sharpest of pain ami the saddest of woes, 
The darkest, the deepest of shadows might come; 
Yet each wound had its balm, while roy soul could 
repose 
On the heart of my mother, the Htar of my home. 
But now let me rove the wide world as 1 may, 
There’s no form to arise as a magnet for me; 
I can rest with strangers, and laugh with the guy. 
Content with the pathway, wbern'er It may be. 
Let sorrow or pain (ling their gloomiest cloud, 
There’s no haven to shelter, no beacon to save; 
For tbe rays that e'er led me are quenched by the shroud, 
And the star of my home has gone down in the grave.

parly, and then we must attend that course of 
lectures by-. nave you ever met him?” 
“No, but. I have longed to see him.” 
Ada looked at her watch, aud then sprang up 
hastily, exclaiming,—“it is growing late! how 
fast the morning has dipped away. 1 must write 
a letter now, and you can amuse yourself with my 
books, or portfolio of engravings. Excuse my 
abruptness.” And tbe door closed behind her re¬ 
tiring form. Miriam wub soon deeply absorbed 
in a volume of Tennyson’s poems; and indeed so 
completely was her mind abstracted from sur¬ 
rounding objects, that she did not notice the en¬ 
trance of Sklwyn Hoi.mes. But lie advanced, 
and she looked up with some confusion. 
“Pardon my intiusion, Miss West. Can you 
tell me where cousin Ada is to bo found?” be 
said, bowing giavely. 
"She is in her room, very busily engaged in 
writing letters.” 
“Then I will not interrupt her—she will doubt¬ 
less be down ere long. In the meantime will you 
please read me that passage, which seemed to 
engage your attention so much when 1 entered? 
There was something in Sklwyn’b genial tone 
and manner which immediately put Miriam at 
ease, and she instantly replied,—“ With great 
pleasure, Mr. Holmes/’ and her sweet voice took 
up the following words: 
“ Cawed he the social wants that sin against the strength 
of youth! 
Cursed he the Bocial lies that warp us from the living 
truth! 
Cursed he the sickly forms that err from honeBt Nature’s 
rule! 
Cursed he the gold that gilds the straitened forehead of 
the fool! 
The gentleman turned red and pale while listen¬ 
ing to the above extract, and now the youDg girl 
looking up perceived bis evident emotion. “Do 
you not like itl What have I done?” She ex¬ 
claimed with some confusion. He passed his 
hand across his brow, as if to smooth away the 
agitation, and then replied, in a low, grave voice, 
” I am awaking from a wild, troubled dream,— 
that passage suits my case. But Ada has proba¬ 
bly told you,”—and an expression of pain crossed 
his face. 
“I do not understand you!—she* has told me 
nothing. I admire the noble sentiments uttered 
by the poet, but had not the slightest intention of 
associating personalities.” Miriam’s cheekB were 
flushed, aud her eyes filled with tears. 
“Pardon me, then, I pray—those sentiments 
arc noble,—thunk God! my taste has not become 
too much perverted for a proper appreciation of 
‘the right.’ Miss West I have a story to tell— 
will yon he rny confessor? I dure not pursue our 
acquaintance further until you know it” 
Iler manner, more than her words of assurance, 
satisfied him, for sho was leaning forward with 
parted lips, and eyes glowing with spmpatby, 
“‘Cursed be the gold that gilds the straitened 
forehead of a fool!’ I can utter that heartily, Miss 
West. The inheritance of wealth is a solemn 
possession. I have abased it. My life has been, 
thus far, a tangled thread of error, and looking 
baekupon it now, it seems like a great undertaking 
to unravel it, and braid it into beauty with shin¬ 
ing virtues. This vague longing for something 
higher, and better, lias been haunting ine through 
all the nights and days of the past year. I am 
going to try to shake off this warped, aimless life, 
and live for something now. 
I Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker.] 
THE NEW LIFE. 
I seem to wear the mantle of deception with a 
fascinatiug grace?” A dawning of troth broke 
through tho cloud of error, which had so long 
dimmed his mental horizon, and the calm, holy 
light of this new advent, beamed from his ejes, 
and sparkled over every feature, while he bent his 
head humbly before the wondering girl and said, 
very solemnly, 
“I will promise,— you are ray good angel.” 
The tears sprang to Ada's eyes and she grasped 
her cousin's hand. 
“Have I wounded your feelings? Do not let my 
playful words pain you,—we have indulged in 
badinage all the morning, and I am sorry to sec 
yon take my last remark so seriously.” 
“Nay, dear Ada, you arc not quite sincere,— 
that warning was half in earnest,—hut we will 
understand each other now. T am going to try to 
be a better man.” Sklwyn drew another chair 
to Ada's side, and with the familiarity allowed by 
a cousinship, lie caught up the rich tassels of her 
morning robe, while he continued, earnestly, 
11 All thought* of ill,— all evil deeds 
That have their root in thoughts of ill,— 
Whatever binders, or impedes 
The action of a Holder will;— 
All these must first he trampled down 
Beneath our feet, if we would gain 
In the bright fields of fair renown 
The right of eminent domain. 
“ There is a great work before me, but I must 
not pause to contemplate its magnitude, for every 
moment’s delay increases its breadth, and weak¬ 
ens my moral forces.” At this moment, a servant 
appeared, with "a message for Mr. Holmes,” and 
BY ANNA BURR, 
“ And so your decision is irrevocable, roy sweet 
Coz.” The speaker's voice had a peculiar em¬ 
phasis, while ho bent his handsome head, and 
archly gazed into the fair face of the lady by his 
side. 
“Yes! Mr. Impudence, 1 would’nt marry yon 
for a mountain Of gold,— so have done with your 
nonsense. I wonder if you think that all the la¬ 
dies are suing your favor, when they happen to 
cast a smiling glance over the battlements of their 
modesty,—ure'nt you ashamed! What would my 
dear little Miriam West say, if you should bc- 
seige her so unmercifully. She don’t like compli¬ 
ments, or ‘soft nothings,’ cither. I’ll warn you 
of that” 
“Ah.lin,—who is this very proper little lady?” 
And Sklwyn Hoi.mes leaned upon an arm of the 
Bofa, with an air of nonchalance. 
There was a certain restlessness of temperament 
apparent in the manners and habits of this young 
man, which indicated an unsettled mind, betray¬ 
ing the itinerant; but his brilliant conversational 
talents, anil Adc tastes, had been educated by for¬ 
eign travel, until he had acquired a social polish, 
which imparted u refinement and elegance to both 
his manneis and language. Left an orphan, ere 
he bad attained Ins majority, the influences which 
nourished Selwyn Holmes’ growth of character 
had tended to warp it with selfishness; aud when 
his college days were ended, he joined a party of 
pleasure-seekers, and led a wandering life, revel¬ 
ing in the “elolce far inente v of Italy, with that 
delicions abandonment to the present, which 
every traveler in that sunny clime experiences. 
Studying gigantic works of art,—associating with 
the distinguished,— exploring ancient ruins, Ac. 
In the vast metropolis of the French capital, he 
also sojourned for sometime, but inherent noble, 
ness lifted him above its groveling pursuits, and 
ho moved amidst its pestilential evils, with gar¬ 
ments unspotted. His generosity often led him 
to display an impulsive benevolence, which 
caused him to make lavish disposals of his ample 
income, aud the poverty and wretchedness that 
occasionally made his path so loathsome, blessed 
the charity which brought, plenty to their doors. 
The motives that actuated him were dictated 
by philanthrophy, for his acute womanly sympa¬ 
thies were sensitive in the highest degree, and 
perhaps he may have fallen into the general belief 
of those who are not ruled by a desire to promote 
good for the glory of Gun,— that works of benev¬ 
olence would in part atone for the selfish appro¬ 
priation of so much precious time. After Selwyo 
Holmes’ return to the city of New York, the re¬ 
action which attends upon “ sight-seers,” bro’t 
him down very suddenly, upon a level with the 
plodding world around him; and the sterling 
good sense which appealed to his reason aud 
judgment, in the advice of his kind uncle, Andrew 
Gordon, was slowly opening his eyes to the stern 
realities of life. 
“She was my school-mate when 1 was at Fort 
Edward Institute, two years ago; and I will tell 
you how we became such friends,”—continued 
the pretty blonde in an animated tone. “ We are 
not one bit alike, and our intimacy was always a 
matter of wonder to me, for she is a great deal 
better than I am,— so amiable.” 
"Of course, if ber disposition is the reverse of 
your own,” interrupted the gentleman, laughing 
mischievously. 
Ada Gordon did not deign to reply to this re¬ 
mark, only by a peremptory move of the hand, for 
she was too much engaged, with her favorite 
theme, to retaliate. 
“I presume that you would call her quite plain, 
for her features are not very regular, but she has 
beautiful, soft, brown eyes, which shine like stars 
sometimes, and ber dark glossy hair twists itself 
into curls all about her pensive face. But I was 
going to tell you how we got acquainted. She 
had been at Fort Edward two months, when I 
went there, and 1 soon observed that all the girls 
ridiculed ’the little nun,’as they called her, be¬ 
cause she Btudied so diligently, and did’utwear 
heels on her shoes. You may smile, cousin. I 
was indignant, and told them so, too. With very 
little difficulty. I obtained the consent of our kind 
Preceptress to take the dear child under my own 
sheltering wing, and we were room-mates the re¬ 
mainder of my stay at school.

“ Ski.ywn, will you Vie on the wharf to meet 
Miss West when she arrives, this afternoon? 
Mania is suffering from a severe attack of the 
nervous headache, and 1 must not leave her.” 
Ada and her cousin were lingering over their 
luncheon in the dining-room, the next day, when 
she said this. 
“Can you trust me?” was the grave rejoinder. 
“Most assuredly,— do forgive me l'or utter 
ing those harsh words yesterday,”—the lady 
looked up very earnestly into the face of her 
companion. 
"I thank you for them, cousin Ada,— they were 
like ‘apples of gold in pictures of silver.’ Nay, 
believe me, 1 am not jesting now,”—for the old 
arch expression was wavering over Ada’s face,— 
Selwvn caught up her hands in his restless way, 
and smiled very seriously, almost sadly, while he 
addressed the above remark. 
“Ido—but I was thinking of how long our 
good resolves would remain firm,” and she too 
smiled, but doubtfully. 
“ Time will prove,” and be sighed. 
“ I am not very sanguine, cousin; and, throwing 
aside all bantering, I am afraid you are not com¬ 
mencing right.” Ada’s voice trembled, while a 
deep settled gravity rested upon her usually ani¬ 
mated fcatuies. 
“What do you mean? Please explain,” ex¬ 
claimed her companion, somewhat excited. 
“/ cannot set you right,” she replied in a tone 
of det-p regret.

Thk Lesson op Tne Garden.— A garden is a 
beautiful book, written by the finger of God; 
every flower and every leal' is a letter. You have 
only to learn them—and he is a poor dunce that 
can not, if he will, do that—to learn them, and join 
them, and then go on reading, and reading, and you 
will find yourself carried away from the earth to the 
skies by the beautiful story you are going through. 
You do not know what beautiful thoughts—for 
they are uothing short—grow out of the ground, 
and seem to talk to a man; and then there are 
some flowers —they always Beein to be like over- 
dutiful children — tend them ever so little, and 
they come up and flourish, and show, as I may 
say, their bright and happy face to you.
