Hc thonghl her possessed of di'gniiy and dceornm in animusunl degree. Both of tbc young ladies, tnu, were very pretty—Miss Berry purtieuhiriy so. He hod noticed hor beauty on the previous evening; bul he had oflcn thought ladies beautiful, wlicn Bccn in full dress, at nn cvtming'a asseml>ly, in a blaze of artificial light, vvho, the next morning, en dishalille, hy the light of the sun, wero quiio the reverse. Miss Borry, on the conlrary, waa cer¬ iainly f'ar more atlroctivc, ifnot more beuuiiful, in thu retirement ofhomc, and in her aimple morning dress, than she hud bren in lho brilliant party.— Anolher thing pleased him. Mrs. Uerry occupied u fino houso. and the slylc inwhich ihc rooniB wero furnished sujled his lasic. There wua no rivalry of a toy.shop in tho variety of ornamenls und pio- cps of anliqno China oxhihiled; nor of n barber's shop by the diaplay of numberless prinls and cari¬ catures on the centictublo. This modern improve¬ ment in furnishing huuscs, wliich mnny persons huvo adopted, Mr. Parks considered either alncit confcsBion that thcy were unequal to enlerlaining their guests by uny iiilclleclnal elTort, or an impli¬ ed supposition lliat iheir gnesta were incapable of being so enterlained. At Mrs. Berry's everyihing was eleganl, hul at tho snino lime useful. On taking leave Mr. Parks was graiificd by ro- ceiving an iuviioliou from Mrs. Berry to callon lhcm vvhor-over it would give him pleasure lodo bo; and it soon becamo his pleasure to call often.— At few houses where he visited could he pass nn hour or lwo so agrccubly.

As a raro caae, however, the daughters were more iuteresling on ncccunt,of this woakncas in their moiher, ua it gave play to Di¬ ana's vivatiiy. who langlied it olT wilh the best Parks could not but think that ho wns originally designed for somelhing better, aomelhing more ele¬ vated and mure elevating than measuring ofFyarda of silk, or selling pocket-handkerchiefs. Tho sym¬ pathy awakened in his heart led him lo iho shop ofMr. Berry whenever he had purchases to mukc of suell things ur vvero likoly to bo there fonnd; nnd at each successive visit to lhe store, hia inier¬ est WDS Birenghtened. Hc soon learned that Mr. Berry was a very hard-working man. Morning, noon and evening he was at hia post, alwaya busy, always on his feet, ond always mild and placid; hut he never looked as if his heort were buoyant —no, not for a moment. At first Mr. Parks thought that this new shop acquainlanco hud no assistant; but in process of lime this mistake was corrected. Tho socond timo he had culled on him, bo noticed a young la¬ dy behind the counler, very neatly attired, wilh a lillle gipsey hat on her head, from which beamed forlh a remarkably aweel rountenance. At ihc timo.ho supposed her to bc a rclalivo or inlimatc acquaintance ofMr. Berry's, who, in his presa of business, was permitted to wait on hcraolf; but re¬ pented calls laughi him that sho wos a regular as. aistont in lhe storo.

Mr. Parks had ono peculiarity. Ho never nsk¬ cd a question about any poraon, or their afTair?, which could possibly be avoided. This aroso from his having read, when quite a boy, some aevore alricturcB in an English publication, on tho excess- He had suffered 'very littlo from this singularity. Truo, ho liud not learned evory one's domealic history quiio bo soon aa those who aek a Ihousnnd questions; but in this loquaiioUa and ^mraunicalivo world he had uaually leaincd all that was desirablo to knovv quite aoon enough. With regnrd to the Burrya, appoaranccB spoko ao plainly, tliut ho hardly realized that the most hc knew concerning thom was only conjerlure. before visitors. She did nol engage the atleiitiou of Mr. Parks any loo soon for hor purpose.

"Thoy have risen from nothing," enid Diana, "and Mrs. Vosc, with all her wealth and show, ia a vulgnr vvoman: nnither her niannera nor hcr blood aro a fiftieih part an good oa Miss M's." "But neiihcr manners nor blootl witl do in tltese days, Diana; withoul wcnilh, or the appearance of weolih, people cannut maintain tboir fouling in a ecrluin cirelo." Well, I do prolcal," aaid Diana, "I would dc¬ claro my independence, and invite to my house tho3e poraons whom I liked, whether rich or poor; and I do wiah you wonld send for Lucy."

NOW I AAI A MAN.
Tho days aro gone when I couU roll 4 My hoop alnnf{ thc orrcci, And with a laughing jeat or word
Each tdio passcrgrcor; Whoro^or ] go, I now niovu slow, • In early years I ran: Oh 1 I was Ihon a happy child,
fiut now I am a man.
I uied to whiBllo as I went. Play marbles in tho squnro,
And fly my kito and play my lop, ' My coat and (rowaars (ear:
1 "whiiilo"for n^ whistlo now, •'/Vn" marblefl is the plan'
Theonly vent on which I'm bcnl Is inonoy—I'm a man.
. The ladies used (o pct mc onccj
And praiso my hair &nd eyen, And kissmg worn by favnr then,
I was a "little prizo;" When o^orl como,thoy now arc gruni.
Each look and word they scan, And call mo "Sir," when I demur,
And tuU mo—I'm a man.
Oh! happy, carlier yoars, wh'm lovo
Was on tho lip and oyo. And lily hands waved aficr mo,
And glances said "good bye;" Whon there was music inmy heart,
And hru had yot no plan; Ohl I was then ft'happy child— ^
But now [ am a man.
From tho Lady's Dooh for July.

«Y"ou are lalo to-nighl, girls," said Mrs. Berry,
na her dauprhtors, Lucretia nnd Diana, entered Lhe
parlour; '*I bavo boon expecting you for un hour."
_^'Not BU long as that, mother, though wc nrc
rathor Iatc," said Lucretin.
"Wo camo sooner than wo wanted lo, uftcr all," said Diana; "and every one else seemed as unwit* ling tu cotno away ns wo were. Wo Imvo not had 80 delightful u party lhis«onsun, mother."
"Mvs.N—^ understands just how to do thcBc (Uings up, and hae a husband to help her," said Mr& Berry. "Wore there any Birangers nl Mrs. N—'s to-night?"
••Several," rnnwered Lucretin.
"Ladies or gcntlcmonT" inquired tho molhor.
"Bolh," ropHcd Lucretia, '-ht t moet ofihe latter."
"Mr. N— always keepa on tho alert," snid Mrs. Berry, *'and will secure all tho gentlemen thero are lo bo found. Were theo strangers youjipcak of the new aetllcrs in lown, or only transient vis¬ iters?" .
"OnontleaBt, Mr. Turks, designs to be a resi¬ denl," answered Diana.
"/a he'worth cultivatingV* asked Mrs. Borry.
"From hia.appearancc 1 ahould think fuvorably of hi nit" aaid Lucretia with un air of cuol in- diffuronco, while Dtuna. gnvo hcr a look of much moaning
"Were tho ladicB much dressed to-nighl?" usked Mrs. Berry.
"Very much," answered Diunn: "J never saw HO many rich droascaijowols, and beautiful Huwe/a worn at n party inmy Hfe: it seemed as if ooch la. dy had dclormincd to look hcr vory best."
*'I hopo thoy did not look better—were not bet- ler dressed than yourBclvcs!" said the mother, look- ing np with noroo anxiety.
"Some of thfm looked liko frights, nftcr nil thoir cost and pains," said Diana, "and not onoof thom looked iia well as Lu."
"Nonsense!" inierrupled Lucretiui
•'And Willio Ealon told mo in a whisper," pro. cecdod Diana, "that, nexl id lior sislcr, Di. Berry luotsod better than any lody present."
"Oh. you vain Utlto tl.ingl" cried Mrs. Berry wilh a smile uf peculiar BatiafoDilon. "Did Lucre¬ tia play and sing?" aho inquired.
"Yes, delightfully," said Diana.
"You had better go to bod, molhor," said Lu¬ cretia: *'it la getting Into, nnd you look weary."
Arter proposing several olhcr questions, qnite as imporlanl as thoso that had preceded them, Mrs. Ber^y took her dflughlor'a advice, and the young ladiea were left by themselves. Scarcely wos the doorcloaoi upon thom when Diann excloimed—
"Was he nol one of ihe most gentlemanly—one of themost poliahedcreaturcB you ever aaw, Lu- crelia?"
"Wlio?" nslted Lucretia wilb great gravity.
••Who!—How provoking you nre, Lu!—Jusias ifyou don't know that I mean' Mr. Parka. But if you are not frank I almll not loll you what I learn- ed aboul him to-night!"
*'\Voll, then," said Lucretia.**! do think hia manners preposaessing jri un unusual degree.— Now what did you hear ubout hiin?"
"Why, I hoard thul hc is tho only son ofn ve¬ ry rioh farmer, who did not cliooso to spoil him. OS he calls it, by letting him have a fortuno to he- gin thfl world with; ho aftor giving him a firslroto edncation, hd left him to depend on his own extr- iiotifl, iust as poorer people hnve :o do."
"Is this allyou haveloarn«d?',* usked Lucrolia.
*'0 no; I learned that he la accounted mlhc^ odd, andia very, very parliculjr in hin notions of right and wrong."
"Ho may ha oa particular ns he pleases," suid Lucretia; but who told you nil this?"
"Willie Eaton," onswored Dlunn. '
"I thought to," auid Liicroiiu: "Willie secKis to know everything about everybody by insiinct; and all ho knows he tells you."
»'Ho lold me aomelbing more," auid Dianu,

That ia juet ns one happens to think," said Di¬ ana us sho gave the finishing louch to her morning (Ircsa by placing n juat bursting China rosebud in her hair; then as she lurned from thc mirror to leave the chamber, she enat her eyes on her sister nnd added—"but 1 perceivo by your aliire ihat it was quite unnecessary to refresh your memory."

"Ho had not that Iionor," onswered Lurrelia, "tho eelcclion is my own, and I read them at the insligation of no one—MiHs More's work excepted, which ynu well know wqs given me by Aunl Sum¬ ner jnsl before hor death."
Diana fixed her eyes on hor sislcr for a minuie ' and then said—
"I look on you with admiration, Lucretia! You do understand yourself to perfociion, uud certainly aro lhe wisest and discreetcst, if not the Lesl of women!"
"What aulhor are you qnoling now?" askpd Lueretio.
