COIINTM LIFE.
BY  MISS S. C. EDQARTON.
Curving and wheeling, twisting and turning, up hill apd ilC-fa hill, winds the village roatl of Percy-Dale; grossing the mill-stream at the foot of every hill, ."iometimes npon broken ridges, aiid sometimes thrr'iijt the channel of the stream'itself; now turning Z short corner through the meadow redolent with sl.rawber- ries, and now raonntiiig a precipitous h.'ll vrhose summit seems aspiring to the skies.— Except at broad noon-day, the sun never shines in unbroken sheets over Percy-Dale, for there- is always some little glen lurking in the shad¬ ow of a wooded hill, where the dew lingers in the hearts of the ro.sesiiU nightfall, and the conrblviilcus closes nol its flower cup even in the blaze of noo.i.
One cannot wander over those hills in June -withoat shaking down showers of rose leaves at every step; nor walk through the tall grass of the meadows without crushing beneath the feet, the ripest and reddest strawberries that ever gladdened the heart of childhood. In abort, Nature has been wonderfully lavish and dainty m her gifts to Percy-Dale ; and a more romantic little spot exists not m all thia west- eia continent.
If I were an artist, I should sketch down ¦upon the margin of my page the loveliest scene in the whole township. It is Hodgkins' Milu. Not a very euphonious name for a spot so beautiful; but tlie Yankees are a literal peo¬ ple, aad as tha buildings were really mills, and their proprietor, Joe Hodgkins, what narne could be more expressive, appropriaie, or natural, than the one which they had be- , vtowed upon it 1 Hodgkins' Mills, therefore, JB tha theatre of my little story; and I will give the reader as clear an image of it as my unskilled language can convey.
Imagine a narrow didl, shut in by smooth, steej> hills, prettily dolled with trees, on which cattle a.'e feeding or resting, and al the bases of which; in close companionship, wind the ^ill stream ajid the village road ; the fonner briMingover thb'stones, and flashing inthe Eunsbine; the lattef bordered by sofl grass and maltitudes of daintj- wild flowers. Bear in tnind that the dell is very- narrow, and the hills very steep; so that if rme were to build a house there, he would be obliged to place il either in the road or upon (he stream, or perch it aloft upon the hill side.
Hodgkins' Mills are comprised in one build- Jng> or lather, they are two buildings covered by the same roof; oue ajjartmeut leading to: ¦ iheotherby'adescentof slairs. These mills! ar© very old and black, but the roof is green with aioss, and a most luxuriant growth of ivy hangs frorn ils low, jagged eaves. Beside lhe mills the etream leaps down ui the form of a baatitiful pjucade, white and feathery as snow, and above it toog a cluster of weeping wil¬ lows, planted there by a fairy hand of which I sh»ll «peak in the progress of my tale.— Juit above the mills, upon the hillside, and set into it like a ground bird's nest into a grass- bank, stands the low black dwelling of the lailler's 'hired man.' A flight of turf sleps leading from the mills up to the door, and all alone the borders, in place of a balastra-' , aie doiible lows of pinks and pansies. The front of the dwelling has Iwo stories, hut thc lower story is cut ofl" in the tear, and the-l chamber doors open nn the hill side. Beside each of these doors, for there are two of tbem, are .planted vines of ivy that creep overthe roof, loantle the chimneys, and sun memselves upon the eaves in front. The precipice below the house, for it is too steep to be calleda siopa, is covered with smooth green turf down
from the stream- by aiiarrow. foot-path- worn from the stairs to the liiills,
Al the time of my slory the inmates of this dwelling were James Curtis, his wife, their three children, and a niece, named Lucy Woodburn. Curtis and his wife wore not re¬ markable for their affection, either to each other 01 to the race in general. They sympa¬ thized in one taste—their taste for strong drink —and .showed no small congeniality of di.iposi¬ lion toward their dependant. Lucy AVoodburn; They did not abnse her personail)-, or deny her the necessarj- comforts of life,' bul be¬ yond these poor gifts, their idea of kindness never extended. She hoard no gentle words, nor received one kind look from the beginning of tlie year to its close. And yet how patient¬ ly and cheerfully she toiled lor thera 1 How many little sacrifices she made for their pleas-. ure! What would she not have done for one' friendly word, or tender, encouraging glance ? Bul these she did never receive. ' Lucy, do this!' and 'Lucy, do that!' were nearly lhe only words addressed lo her. ' Lucy, marry Mr. Hodgkins I' was iheir lasl cominand, aad for the first lime, she refused lo obey them.
ilr. Hodgkins, the owner of the Mills, and ofthe land and water as far as the eye could reach, was, al ihis precise period, a widower, aged about si.vty, and iis disagreeable in pet¬ son as he was niggardly iu disposition. He occupied a large house abnul half araile from the Mills; bul since the death of his wife, he had dined with Curtis, only going home at night. Witnessing here the domestic accom¬ plishment of our humble hcioine, and some¬ what enamoured, it may be, with her youth and girlish beauty, the idea enleied his brain lo remove her to liis own lordly mansion as hia housekeeper and wife. This intention he soon announced lo Lucy, who to his infinite astonishment a;nd incredulity, resolutely de¬ clined the honor. In vain he urged, insisted, sued, and threatened : Lucy said nay at fiisl. and nay at last. I
Not lo be baulked, however, by a silly girl, who scorned her own forlune, he made known his plans to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis, significsuitly hinting thai unless they used their influence lo his schemes al au early day, ihey would be forced to budge from his territories upon short noiice. The worthy pair failed nol to vouch for Lucy's obedierice, nor lo reprimand her wilh the greatest severity for having vexed the fretful old man with her denials. They con¬ cluded by lelling her ihey had appoinied the wedding in jnsl a fortnight Irom that day, and and she might commence what preparations she choose immediately.
'1 shall make no preparations—I shall not marry Mr. Hodgkins,' was Lucy's emphatic reply.
'You shall marry Mr. Hodgkins,' shouted Curtis in a voice of^lhnnder. 'Have I fed you, and clolhed you, and ea ved you from dying in the sireets to be answered in this manner, you impudent, obstinate, good-for nothing crea¬ ture! Hearraeagain. I say you sham, mar¬ ry Joe Hodgkins, and that, too, on the very day I have appointed. So go lo your cham¬ ber, and whine and snivel as much as you please.   It will plague no one but yourself.'
Lucy retired, not in submission, but because she knew conlroversy wonld be of no avail.— She did nol give wav to tears or despair; but sal down and penciled theae few lines on a scrap of paper torn from an old writing-book.
'George, you are my only friend. I am in trouble. My uncle and aunt wish to compel me to marry old Hodgkins. I will die soon¬ er than yield. TeU me of sorae spot to which I can flee, and Ihus save me from their rage.'
She contrived during the week to place this into the hands ofGeorge Dale, a farmer's son, who came to [he mills, regnlariy, every week with his grist. He first became acquainted ivith Lucy by boarding in Curtis's family a few weeks, while teaching a sohool in that district. He liviiig in a distant part of the town, but since those memonible weeks, pas¬ sed under the same roof with Lucy Woodbum, lie had taken under his charge the regular re¬ plenishing of his mother's meal-chesls. On these occasions, ami while waiting tor his corn lo be ground, he never neglected rnnning up to inquire alter mother Curtis, pat lhe snarly heads of the children, and on some pretext call Lucy to the door, and coax from hur a few pansies 'for thought,' or sweet pinks to tell himof her love. Yes, well he knew thai the gentle giil loved him, and well he knew that he loved her dearly in return. But he had a rich and covetous old falher, who de¬ clared if his son married a poor, low bred girl, he wpuld shut the doors upon him forever.— Of course, George kept his aftection secrel from all but Lucy, hoping on from week to week that some chance would turn up by means of which he might secure her hand.
A week passed on, and only three days re¬ mained to poor Lucy. She had neither seen nor heard trom George, and was far more dis¬ tressed by his neglect tban by all the cruel threalnings of her lormenlors. She determin¬ ed to escape that night, and seek her fortunes alone in a world of which she was -wholly ig¬ norant. Her wardrobe was easily conlained in a small bund le which she could carry on her arm, and this she had scarcely made ready, in the expectation of departing as soon as the famii)-' batl retired to real.
But about sunset, licorge Dale appeared with bis bags of corn and rye. Llicy \vatched his approach wilh a beating heurt. He slop¬ ed bul a moment atthe mill, and then ran up into the room where she was shting wilh Mrs. Curtis. He was something of a favorite wiih Mrs. Curtis, who imagined he casl a lender eye on her eldest daughter, a really showy, handsome girl.
' Ah ha! the wedding dress, is it, Mrs. Cur¬ tis?' said he^ lifting the sleeves of an old dimi¬ ty frock, wluch she was refitting for Lucy.
' Yes, the wedding dress!—Ihough iWiss Lucy feigns to be very coy and indifferent about the matter, and leaves every thing for me 10 do. What do you think, George 1 Isn't she going to marry a man much too good for her 'f W hy, she willbe the richesi womanin F.ircy-Dalel'
'U'o be   sure   she will,'   replied George, promptly  ' I dare say such unexpected good luck haa quite bewildered her brain.   Say, Lucy don'l you feel quile above us all now?'
'Yes,' replied Lucy, pouting her prelty lip, and scarcely knowing wheiher to cry or laugh in her doubt respecting George's intentions.
' I thought so,' said GeorKe, laughing. ' Bnt don't scorn a litile wedding gift I have biought you,' he added wilh a significant gkince, plac¬ ing a small paper iu her hand.
'Thank yon, George; but if this is to be worn at my wedding with Mr. Hodgkius, 1 beg leave to decline it, as il will nevor be required lor that occasion,' said Lucy calmly, returning the paper without oiiening it.
'Nay, keep it, Lucy, al all events. Il will be of no service lo me.'
Lucy opeued the paper and observed some penciled writing upon it, adroitiv hid it in her pocket, while Mrs. Curlis was absorbed in ad¬ miration of lhe white silk sash it had envelop¬ ed. To keep her still farlher engrossed, George drew anolher parcel from his pocket, containing a blue gauze scar! for Miss Jane, the eldest daughter, whicii was most gracious¬ ly accepted, with many consoieutious aind sig- aifi«itii glances between mother aud child.
'Well,! Ihink ray meal is ground belore this,' said George, rising to leave. ' Can't you, as usual, Lucy' spare me a liltie bunch of pinks for my mother? She is so fond of thera!'
dy in taking ^sard of her flower-garden and green-house. She is very kind, and I have interested her in your hislory. She and her husband will do every ihingto protect and de- lend you. Be ready, dear Lucy, lo quit this detestable place al ouce. Ishall be waiting for you vpiin a carriage at the' fool of Snake Hill, at three o'clock, to-morrow mornuig,    '
' La! yes, Jane,' exclaimed Mrs. Curtis, with ofHoions Z«al, ' do run out and pick Mr. Dale as many as hi3 wpuld like. Lucy is too lazy to do auy thing.'
Lucy was not too lazy to galher flowers for George, but finding her office superseded, merely followed him lo the door. VVhile Jane was stooping over the flowers upon the slair border, he looked al Lucy, earnestly, and whispered, unobserved by others, 'Read lhe paper carefully and do all I ask you.' ¦^Lncy immediately wentto her charaber and perused the note. 'Dear Lucy,' it said, 'I have found a pleasant, quiet place for you. It is about len miles from here, in the cottage of a
10 Ihe tery base. *here it is only separated] gardener.   It will be your offiee to assist a la-
1 have deceived father with the Idea that I am going 10 market at that hour. Now don'l fail, dear Luc)', and all will yet be well.'
Lucy did not fail. Though she oecupied a chamber withthe rest of the children, she was so accustomed to rise an hour or two be¬ fore them, that they seldom awoke when she left the room. Sleallhily opening and closing the door that led out upoii the hill-side, with her little bundle in hernarid, she flew, rather Ihan ran. down the long windiiig descent' in the road,' known by the name of Snake Hill. George was not there! what could il mean.' Had their plot been discovered, or was the hour yet too early 1 Too early by a full half hour, dear Lucy! Every stroke of the old clock had been counted ihroughout the long night, and since the last hour, two, she had waited, and waited, what seemed to her the lapse of a dozen commbn hours. After all she was too early. But better too soon than too late, thought Lucy, and so walked on in the direclion which she knew George vi-biild corae. But he, too, was impatient, aud had not wailed the full hour. She soon saw him hastening his young horse over tbe tedious hills, and in a lew minules he had alighted al her side.
The vehicle was not a gciiteel one for an e- lopemcnt, being nothing more magnificent than a covered market wagon, with one seat in front, and a few boxes of butler and cheese behind. Among these laller, the prudent youth slowd away his irembling and laughing litlle contraband prize.
'You are safe there,' he e-Xclaimed. as he jumped upon the seat, and threw a'loving glance over his shoulder upon a blushing face hid faraway iu lhe dim recesses of a cap bon¬ net. 'No one will look for you in a market cart, Ihough lambs and doves are sometimes found there.'
' Yes, hastening to and aot from the slaugh¬ ter. Thank you unspeakably, George, for all your kindness. You say Ihey are good people where I am going. Oh whal a heaven it will be lo me, if I cau live where there are no cross words.'
'And in a prelly little cottage, too. all hid¬ den among trees aud flowers.'
' Shall 1 never see you there, George? Oh it will be a poor exchange if you are long ab¬ sent.'
'I shall not be. I, loo, ara going to Uve in the gardener's cottage.' ' You loo ! what, and leave your falher ?' ' Yes, I am no man at home—only a slave to farther's whims. I have engaged the gar¬ dener's place at Judge Benfley's, and—and—in short, dear Lucy, 1 have been presurapluous enough lo believe you will be the gardener's wife.'
Lucy's head was quite lost in the cape bon¬ nel, but George's keen eye detected a brighl tear glistening upon her bosom.
' Whal would you say, Lucy, if we found the bride-robes, and the parson, and the guests all wailing us at the cottage ?' 'Don't lease me, dear George !' ' I am nol teasing you, dear Lucy. It is e- von as I say. I have been long thinking of seeking a place where I could earn ray own livelihood and provide an humble home for my Luoy. I heard of this vacancy at Judge Bent- ley's and had already applied for it, when you told me how affairs were proceeding at Hodg- kin's Mills. I went over to the Judge's the very no.\l day, lold him my situation, made a pathetic slory out of your troubles, enlisted the Judge's lady in your behali^ and was re¬ quested to bring you immediately to the cot¬ tage. Meanwhile, she has beeu making ar¬ rangements to have us commence keeping house directly, and if you, dear Lucy, have no weighty objeclions to urge, we sliall be mar¬ ried this very morning.'
'Alas!' murmured Lucy, hiding ber face upon George's shoulder—for he had contrived to gel her up very near him—" 1 luive only run away frora one wedding, to plungo into another.'
'And would you run away from this, ifyou could ?'
' Who could I run to, bat to you, George ?' ' True—who could j-ou ?   And we will be so happy, Lucy!   Lol Hodgkins have his gold and his land; we will have love and healthy labor for our happiness.'
So chalteied the young runaways until they reached the great" gale opening into Judge Bentley's eslaie. A boy ran to open it, bid¬ ding Geoige drive up to the collage door. So Ihey lode slowly thoough a winding avenue benealh the drooping branches of elms, until they reached a pretty while dwelling, at the door of which slood Mrs. Bentley. Lucy trembled very much, and was as pale as a li¬ ly. But George looked quile gay and happy as he lified her form from the wagon and in¬ troduced her lolhe Judge and his lady. Mrs. Rentley look hnr by the hand and kindly led her up slairs.
' I am glad you arrived safely,' she said as she uniied Lucy's bonnel. ' We have all fell much inierested in the success of your plans. I suppose Mr. Dale has told you of one pkin you bad not thought of. How is if, Lucy— have you consented ?'
'You are all so fcind to me, how could I do otherwise i' replied Lucy, blushing from a lily inlo a rose.
' You have done perfectly right, my dear.— And now, as.iheministerand allthe company are waiting, aiid the bridegroom most impa¬ tiently of aU, I suppose we must hurry on the briderobes as fast as possible.'
It seemed like the work of enchantment to be disarrayed of her old garments by these la¬ dy hands, and so taslefully clad in the flow¬ ing robes of white. Her hair was brushed smoothly over her ears, and braided in a pret ly knot behind, around which a wreath of, rose-buds was gracefully entwined. A half- blown rose was fastened al her bosom—and Mrs. Beniley was about to complete her at¬ tire with a white sash which, she took from the bureau, when Lucy timidly iniermpted her, and look from the pocket of her old dress the one that George had given her the day previous.
' Please let me wear this. It is George's gift,' she said.
Mrs. Bentley smiled, and kissed her crim¬ son check; then beckoning lo George from the head of the staires, bade him lead his lady lo lhe parlor. There were no guests oxcepi the Judge and his wife -imd servants. Lucy was so much excited that fho forgot all em¬ barrassment and behaved wilh as rauch ease and proprieiy as though she had been used to such occasions all her life. Tbe ceremony was so:in over, and Mrs. Bentley then threw open the doors ol an adjo'raing room, where bride's cake, ice creams, and strawberiies were Jisplayed in wonderful profusion. Here George lound opportunity to explai-i to Lucy, the necessity he was under of proceeding di¬ rectly lo maiket wilh his load of produce, and of returning to Percy-Dale on the following <iay. Meauwhile, Lucy was to arrange every thing ili house-keeping order at the cottage, und make her horae at the mansion house till his return, which would be in the evening of the nexl day. He had not yet acquainted his falher wilh his inlention of leaving him, and he wished lo have lhe marriage secure before he divulged it. As Lucy was now irrevocably his, and he was in a silualion lo maintain her by his own independent labor, he should lake the earliest opporlunily of making it known to iheir ffiends.
Lucy was quite gUd 10 be left alone that she might compose her tbougfets ^d reflect upon the good fortune so une:fpectedly J)ers. She found ihe collage fttlj of ptetly fnrnititre, .vhich Mrs. Benlly gave her permission to al¬ range as she choose, and this occuption, to¬ gether witb the baking of nice things for George, helped (he houis to slip-away almost unheeded. The world, particularly the part of it wilhin
the cottage, looked very bright to the young husband on his relurn. He found Lucy envel¬ oped in a cloud of perfume araong the pinks and roses, for these were flowers that were al¬ ways in bloora at Bentley's Cottage. He was so charmed, however, by the rose on Lucy's cheeks and lips, that he never glanced at those around her, nor did he for some miiiutes recollect lo acquaint her with Ihe news from Percy-Dale.
' But have you brought no tidings fram the Mills ?' Lucy at length inquired.
'Oh, yes—a most important event takes place there this evening. You know it is old Hodgkins' wedding night.'
'I know it was to have been, had not the bride run away;' said Lucy, laughing.
'Ah, you little Mis.sVanityj don't you sup¬ pose there is another bride rathe world but yourself? and do you imagine the rich Mt. Hodgkins was to be disappointed for a wed¬ ding, while girls are so plenty at Percy-Dale! Ohno! and so to-night he-receives the fair hand of Miss Jane Curtis, whilethe approving moiher stands by in a flutter of pride and de¬ light.
"Indeed! why 1 declare il all turns out as happy as a love story?'
' To be sure ! v/hy shouldn't it, when it is a love-story? Truth is often stranger than fic¬ tion, and there are a great many more real lore stories in the world, Ihan were ever writ¬ ten upon paper.'
With this grave adage, dear reader, our lit¬ lle story closes.

LANCASTER FEMALE SEMINARY.
Tl/rlSS ASHMEA'D win open in this City, on iVl the FIRST MONDAY IN-APRIL, in Or¬ ange Street, opposite the German Reformed Church, A SEMINAR:YF0R THE EDUCA TIONOF YOUNG ladies;
Should sufficient encouragement be giveh, it is proposed to employ an unlimited number of Teachers, both male and female, and to spare no expense in estiblishing an'institution which shal! afford equal facilities and advantages foran accomplished Education with the best Female Seminaries in iie-w York or Phihidelphia.
Laricaster hks long needed a Bo-ardiiigSchooV ofthis character: pupils from a distance having been hitherto necessitated to board in a separate- house from their instructors, and thus to lose many ofthe advantages of such assistance, advice and supervision as'is especially to be desired by those who send their iiughters abroad for the purpose of Education.
While it is believed that the present Institu¬ tion will obviate the disadvantages above refer¬ red to, it is likewise hoped that it may- contri¬ bute no less to the happiness tlian the improve¬ ment of the pupils,' since no pains shall be spared to render the internal arrangements of the family every way coiidu ive to their comfort, healih and cheerfulness.
Miss A. would further add, that considerable opportunity of observing the hest methods of conducting boarding-schools, and some personal experience in teaching, encourage her to lay claim to public patronage.
The New England plan, so highly approved, of allotting a separate room and teacher; tp tbe different classes, reciting at the same time, -will, as far as practicable, be introduced, and every modern improvement wilh regard to the best melhodsof communicating instruction be adopt¬ eii. It is believed, however, that it has become of late too miich the popular custom in schools to burden the pupils with an infinii.te number of atudies, some of them of a very ohstfuce nature, without regard lo the capacity of the scholar for receiving such varioiis subjects, arid of sucha character, into the iriiiid at once. In this Insti¬ tution, it will be more the aim to ground the pupils tkoroiig/ily in those few branches which fiirm the essential part" of a polite' and 'accom. plished education than to giye them a iiijierjieial niii'ftierin.g ot many—to adspt lhe atudies td the gradual development of the scholar's capacity, rather than to place books indiscriminately in he hands of those unfitted to comprehend them.-
The ordinary School course will comprise progressively, Reading; Writing i Arithmetic; Grammar; Geography; History; Chronology Natural Philosophy; Elements ;*Qf Chemistry, Astronomy, Botany aild Geology; Geometry; A'lgebrai Composition^—iii some one or other of the forms in which they have heen simplyfied ui the modern school-books.
For those far'enough advanced in thf) foregoing branches of Edpcati'm, classes will be formed in Logic, Ithetorici Mental and Moral Science, Evidences of Christinnity, Butler.'s Analogy, &c.
Teachers competent to give instruction in all the English studies, as well as in Latin, French, Drawing, Musie, &c. will be secured. TERMS. For Boarders :
The school year will comprise 44 weeks, di¬ vided into quarters of 11 weel;s eBohTTT-leaving the remaining 8 lyeelfs qf the oommon year for vacations, fqr.which no charge is made.
