Miscellaneous Reading Danesbury House was a handsome white mansion, surrounded by fine grounds, with a smooth lawn sloping from the front; its ele- vated site causing it to command extensive and beautiful views of the neighboring coun- try: On the morning that was to witness the re- turn of the children, a lady approached the house, ascended the stone steps to the pillar- ed portico, and entered a spacious hall, on either side of which were the reception chem--1 bers. It was Mrs. Philip Danesbury, the widow of Mr. Danesbury’s brother. She en- joyed a handsome income from the business, and resided near; a talkative, pleasant wo- man, young still, possessed of good sense, and of keen penetration. She was in Yorkshire, her native place, when the recent fa'tal event happened,and had now been home a dayor two Mr. Danesbury had seen her the previous day, and her present visit was to Glisson and the baby. While she was in the nursery. talking, she observed her brother-in-lawap- ' preaching from. the factory, and went down stairs to meet him. 6‘ John,” she began, as soon as they were in the sitting room, dashing at once into some news she had just heard, “ Glisson sa 5 there’s a lady coming here to be in Isabegs Plac‘i” . v C ‘- C A. o _ _ _ “Not in Isabel’s place,” interrupted Mr. Danesbury, in a tone of pain. “No one can fill thy.“ Do nqt say so_.” $500 PRIZE STORY. “Well, you know what I meant, John.- Unfortunately no one ever can fill it, in any sense of the word.

DEVOTED TO NEWS, POLITICS, EDUCATION, AND AGRICULTURE, I see it in my changing taste; I see it in my changing hair; I see it in my growing waist; I see it in my growing heir; A thousand signs proclaim the truth, As plain as truth was ever told, That even in my vaunted youth, I’m growing old. I‘m growing fonder of my staff ; I’m growing dimmer in the eyes; I’m growing tainter in my laugh; I’m growing deeper in my sighs; I‘m growing careless of my dress; I’m growing frugal of my gold ; I’m gr owing wise; l’m growingâ€"yesâ€" I‘m growing old.

(Continued) i Mrs. Philip untied the crape strings of her l bonnet as she spoke, and ran up stairs again. .- fShe'was somewhat given to be dicfatorial, ‘ but she was a thoroughly smcere, good wo- man at heart. Glisson opened her grrev- ance. . H I hmnn. thin nmv nerson's not 1701an to “John,” she returned, {‘1 cannot help speaking out all my thoughts, but it is that I am anxious for the children’s welfare and your happiness. You cannot understand these things, but I can; and rely upon it, this lady’s motive, in proffering a temporary sojourn here, arises from a dim hope that she may improve it into a permanent one. I see also another evil~-that it Will cause rebellion and warfare with the servants. You look surprised, but I tell you you have had no ex- perience in these things, and do not under- stand them.” ' “There; that’s quite enough; you have most fully answered me,” impetuonsly return ed Mrs. Philip Danesbury. “Take care of yourself, John.” “ Take care of myself! In what way ?” “It will be a terrible temptation to 21 W0- man in her position, the getting herself to be the real mistress of this house. She will play her cards with the hope and view to be your second wife, John; mind she does not play them to win.” A contraction of displeasure passed across Mr. Danesbury’s ample brow. He could not understand his sister-in-law, and deemed these remarks to be unworthy of her. " You are very kind, Maria,” be sadly an-v swered. “But the house, deprived of the two children, would be more desolate than with them. What objection do on see to Miss St. George staying hereâ€"4101'. think I detect that you Have an objection ?” “ A minute. Johv': answer me a question or two befone I answer yours. What age is this Mjss St. George 3’: _ “I‘do not know: I have a general idea that she is not young. I once saw her at Mr. Serle’s, but retain a very faint recollection of her. I fancy she is older than Mrs. Serle; and that she lives with her because she has no o‘her home.” No, Mr. Daneabury did not understand 11 at 2111,3116! he certainly did not believe it. He asked Mfg» __Ph1lip to r_em_au1 to di11_nef. “I will,” she replied, “and I shall let Miss St. George know, unmistakably, that I am Mrs. Philip Danesbury, the nearest kin you and the children have, and quite compe- tent to direct the aflairs of Danesbury House, where direction may be necessary, Without her assistance.” Isabel.” “I hope this new person‘s not going to take too much upon herself, ma’am, for it’s what I shan’t be able to put up with. I’d do anything for a Danesbury, and for my dear late mistress, who was a mistress in a thou- sand, but an interloper is a. different sort of thing. Master said we were to take our or- ders from her.” “ It’s beginning,” thought Mrs. Philip, but she did not choose to say so-she was fond of keeping servants in their places. “ Miss St. George is a relative of poor Mrs. Uanesbury, and every respect must be shown her, His- son,” she said, in an authoritative tone.â€"- “ Jessy, [hope you hear me also. I dare say you will get on very well with her, for the time she is to remain.”_ Glisson made no reply. She went out for the baby, who lad been laid down 101' his midday sleep, and brought him in. The sleeves of his embroidered white frock were tied up with black silk ribbon, and he wore a broad black sash. 'ii‘Poor lime momeness darling!” uttered Mrs. Philip, taking the child, and clasping him to her. “ I wish papa would give_you to rne, rn little god-son,” she murmured; cov- ering is sweet face, so lovely in its rosy flush, with kisses. The tears came into her eyes as she gazed on himâ€"for the having no children had been Mrs. Philip Danesbury’s great trial in life. “ Glisson,” she suddenly exclaimed, “ how did that dreadful mistake happen? How came you to be deceived 1n the medicine?” _ _ “ Ma’am,” said the nurse, turning round in a sort of frenzy, “ I’ll go down upon my knees and beg you not to ask me ! I have been al- most mad ever since, thinking of it! and, if I have to talk of it, it W111 drive me quite so. I wish I had been dead before it had happen- ed !” She sat down in the rocking-chair, threw her apron over her head, and burst into, a Storm of wails and sobs. Mrs. Philip walk- ed about with the child, and censiderately ab- stained from further allusion to it. In the midst of this, the travellers were seen ap- proaching. It was a clear, frosty day, and they were walking up from the Ram, where the stage-coach stopped. The two children, in their sombre black attire, were accompan- ied by two ladies, one of whom was in deep mourning, the other in slighter. ' “ Five-and-thirty, if she’s a day, and a soured woman!” was Mrs. Philip Danes- bury’s mental comment. “ Won’t she be having a try at John ?” The visitors were shown to the. drawing- room, a spacious apartment opening to the lawn. It Was fitted up wnh rich silk damask furmturo, mirrors, ornaments, and. some ex- quisite paintings. Mrs. Philip Danesbury entered, and welcomed the two ladies graceâ€" 1 fully, as though she. were the mistress of the “ Whit there’s two of tKem !” unceremoni- ously, uttered Glisson, who had made her way_t9_ the: window. ‘ A ‘ “ ' A- '1‘: Miss St. George has put on deep black to be like the family, as she is to stay here,” decided Mrs. Phihp; “ and the other must be Mrs. Serle.” W Aura.

A thin, short- 15h, vinegar-looking lady, with cold. light eyes, a sharp nose, and flaxen hair ; Miss St. George was one of those whom black attire does not improve. “ It’s a disagreeable face, if ever I saw one,” cried Gliason ; “ as cross as-two sticks. If she knew anybody was looking at her, she’d smooth it, _I exoectf’ _ . “You will do no such thing, Eliza; You are come, and you must re’mam. She 18 not mistress, she does not he here.” - “I proffered it for her,” smiled Mrs. Serle, who appeared all complaisance. °‘ The isolated condition of these poor children, left entirely to servants, struck me as being so pitiable, that I suggested to Eliza to come home with them for a short period, should it be agreeable to Mr. Danesbnry. I did not know of their possessing so efficient a rela- tive near to them. From the remarks of the children, I fancied Mrs. Philip Danesbury’s residence was in Yorkshire.” Mr. Danes‘onry came in. Unusally noble. he looked in his deep mourning attire, and with the saddened expression on his fine fea- tures. Ere he had well kissed hIB two chil- dren, he was obliged to hurry from the room: their eight brought his loss, and theirs, too painfglly. to his memory: _ “ Harriet '.” exclaimed Miss St. George, the moment she was alone with her sister in the chamber to which they had been shown, “I shall go back with you; I shan’t stop here.

I did' not come down, and go in mourning for that.” house. “To whom have we the honor of speaking?” demanded Mrs. Serle. “ I have been there for a long visit. We appreciate your kindness, and shall be happy to render Miss St. George’s visit agreeable to her,” was the somewhat frigid answer of Mrs Ph_il_ip._ “ But She comes armed with full power to do as she pleases in the house; there’s no doubt of it. She’ll be here forever.” “Nonsense. Stop, and feel your way.â€" You will supersede her if you luy. And if you don’t, you are only where you were be- fore.” ' She sighed as she turned to the glass, and began to arrange the bands of- her very light hair. She had no parents, no money, and had been obliged to her sister for a home.â€" She was not always comfortable in it; her temper was bad, Mrs. Serle would not put up with it, and at such times would make her feel that she was an intruder. To get away from it, and take the sway in such a house as Mr Danesbury’s, had been a glowing pros- pect, and the damper cast on it by the sight and words of Mrs Philip was a morrifying disappointment. Whether she, or Mrs Serle for her, had cast a glance to the possibility that time and luck might transform her into Mrs Danesbury, cannot be told. “Madam, to the aister-in-law of Mrs. Danesbury, the aunt of the clear children.

She found him in the little room where Mrs Danesbury used to assemble her chil- dren for the ten minutes after breakfast in the morning, to read to them their Bible stories and to talk of heaven. It was a duty she never omitted, and the children had learnt to love it. Arthur was stretched across the low sofa where his mamma used to sit, crying as if his heart would break. Mrs. Philip Danes- bury closed the door, sat down, and drew him to her. “ My darling, don’t sob so ; be comforted.” “ Aunt Philip, 1 shall never see her again! I never thought it could be quite true till I came home now. Oh, mammal mamma l” “ My child, be comforted, she is better off ; she is gone to heaven.” " “But never to come back! never to come back!” he wailed. “Oh, mamma, if you would but come to me for one minute, only one !” “ Arthur she cannot return to you ; you know it, my darling ; but you will go to her.” " But it is such a long while I” “ It will come, my child.
