THE DAILY GOVERNESS.
By   CHARLES DICKENS.
The lark went  up  to  heaven, seeming to beat his breast against the ancient sky, >el
tiny speck as he was—scarcely discernible to
the keenest vision, his song was audible lo Lucy Hinchliffiuher mother's little garden. Lucy was a daily governess, and was in the act of plucking a rose to adorn her bosom, be¬ fore she set out to enler upon the day's rou¬ tine. She cast her eyes around the modest garden—it was a very modest, very little gar- Jen—looked up at the lark once more, re¬ ceived the last note of its song into her soul, smiled at llie grey-headed mother in the pinched widow's cap, who was standing at the window, wayed her adieus, and closed the small gale after her.
There was not in all the suburb in which we lived a belter girl, a prettier girl, a more loving, more dutiful daughter than Lucy Hin- chliff. She lirst attracted our attention when we went, with satchel on our back, willingly enough, to school. She was younger by two years than ourselves—a little, timid thing, as we remember her. She had a father at'that time, but we could see that tbe old gentle¬ man was poor; and once we were prompted to offer her some of our victuals which wo bore in our bag (for we dined at school), fear¬ ing that she had not enough to eat at home. — It was only a boy's thought, and now we are more happy that we did not commit ourselves by the insult, than if we had realized our ear¬ ly dreams, Ihose bubbles bred ina child's ac¬ tive brain.
Her father died, and they became poorer. A rich relation took Lucy aw'ay,to bestow upon her a superior education. It was all he could do for her, he said; though he kept his car¬ riage, and his servants, and cast bread to dogs. She returned to her mother after three years, to aid their mutual support by teaching.
Who knows, besides ihemselves, the lives thai daily governesses lead ? Who has lasted, besides themselves, the bitterness of the bread they eat^ The fine mistress may not frown too severely upon her cook or footman. They would resent it, and would seek another place. But the poor governess! That site will re¬ sign her engagement is not lo be apprehend ed. -And ara there not dozens—scores, who would be glad to succeed her, if she gave herself airs? There are tragedies in real life more sad to witness than any of the his¬ trionic art, and the life ofthe dailygoverness, in meagre circumstances, is one whole trage¬ dy.
Lucy Hinohliff closed the garden gate, and passed from her mother's sight. It was a fine morning, and she was early. She had, there¬ fore, no occasion lo hurry, as she was some¬ times obliged to do. She fell very glad that the morning was fine, for to tell a homely truth, her shoes—well nigh worn out—were far from being water-proof. She had sat all day with wet feet once belore, from the same causo, and mucli need she had to be careful of her health for her mother's sake. She had few acquaintances on the road she traversed —Ihough she was familiar as their own chil¬ dren's faces to all the small tradesmen— they saw her pass so regnlaily morning and evening. The green-grocer would frequently tell his wife that it was time to get the break¬ fast, for the young lady with the music-paper was abroad. The toll-gate keeper was Lu¬ cy's only speaking acquaintance of the male Bex. He had always a kind word for her. Nor did Lucy fail to ask him after the child that was scalded—a frightful accident that-nr whether his eldest girl was at home yet, and olher little queries. 'There she goes,' the raan would say when she had turned from him. ' Her's is a hard life, poor thing 1'
•¦ Not hard at all. Mister Marten,' retorted Dame Wringlinen on one occasion. 'Hard, indeed. I think she's got a very easy birth o't. Put her over a wasliing tub, and give her three or four counterpanes for a morning's work, and see what she'd make o't.'
' Ah, you don't know all'! said the toll- keeper, significantly.   And he was right.
The lady at whose house Lucy commenced the instructions of the day, was a nervous lady indeed ; and like your nervous people, she was e.\tremely irrascible. Lucy's knock offended her. She hated single' knocks. Why had they a bell, if it was not to exempt the house from the vulgarity of single knocks 1 Once, in a fit of forgetfulnes, the governess gave a palpitatingdouble knock, and then Mis. Kobert Smith was astonished at her presump¬ tion. ' Miss—Miss—, I forget yout name,— Mrs. Robert Smith oflen contrived to forget a name which was the property of an hnmble dependent, and was so rauch better than her own.
'Hinchli/r, ma'am,' prompted Lucy on the occasion referred to.
' Ah, Hinchlifi". Well, Miss Hinchifl:, if, for the future, you would remember not to give a double knock, you would oblige me. I really thought it was visitors, and, as I am in my dishabille, it eet rae all in a flutter—you should consider my nerves. Miss Hinchliff.'
Poor Lucy ! If she could have afforded lo be so much in fashion as to own to the pos¬ session of nerves, the lady's nervousness would have infected her.
'Now, Miss HinchlifT,' said Mrs. Eoberl Smith, when the governess had taken ofi" her bonnet and shawl on the morning we raake her acquaintance, 'are you up in those new quadrilles yet?'
' I am very sorry, ma'am, but I have been so mnch engaged—1 only took them horae the day before yesterday, and so little of ray time is my own.'
' Well, Hinchlifi', of course, if you have too many engagements, and my dear children are to be neglected on that account, it will be Mr. Robert Smith's duty to seek another responsi¬ ble person, whose engagements ate not so nu¬ merous : you cannot object to that, I am sure. 'Oh, ma'am,' was Lucy's faltering reply. ' I am too happy to be empioyed by you.   I
you are not to increase them, as he really can't afford it.' 'Ma'am,'eaid Lucy astonished, ' If you object, of course, we must find another responsible person, who will include Italian for the amount of your presenl salary.' Lucy's mother was in failing health. Need we say that she was ' too happy' to leach Ita¬ lian wilhout remuneration, under the circum¬ stances. On the same morning Mrs. Robert Smith dismissed her cook, who blundered al a pate defoie gras, and hired anoiher at great¬ ly enlarged wages.
The widow Hinchliff was not only in failing health, but she was nearer death than Lucy had any idea of. When the poor girl return¬ ed home that evening—she went to six houses first, and walked a distance of seventeen miles —she found that her parent had been obliged to reiire to bed. The servant, alarmed by her mistress's condition, had called in a neigh¬ bor, who only waited for Lucy's return :o urge the propriety of sending for a doctor. Lucy not only assented, but ran herself to fetch one. '1 can give you no hope,' he said; and she felt that a blight had indeed passed over her young life. When oue that we real¬ ly love is stricken down to die, we look oul upon the world as if we had no longer hope, or any lot. therein.
She had to practice the quadrilles that night, on he> hired piano, in fulfilment of the promise raade to Mrs. Roberi Sraith. Herraother had fallen inlo one of those dozing, restless slum¬ bers, peculiar to a state of sickness, and the thought of waking the gay quadrille rauisc in the house on whose threshold, even at that moment, Death, the deslroyer, stood, shock¬ ed Lucy's feelings. No, she could not do that, let Mrs. Robert Smith say what she pleased.
She sat through the longest night she had ever known— for Ihe heart measures tbe hours —not the clock—a watcher by her mother's bed. When the glad sunlight came gushing in at the casement, and lark after lark poured forlh his jubilant thanksgiving for his sleep in the dewy grass, she undressed herself, aud went to her own chamber, leaving the ser¬ vant lo supply her place. There was no visi¬ ble change in her parent when, with many fears and wilh one of the saddest hearts that ever beat in human bosom, she left the cot¬ tage upon her constant, diurnal mission- She was late, and had to walk hurriedly. It rain¬ ed loo, and the water soaked through the leaky shoes. She had no smile for the toll keeper. He saw that she was sad, and con¬ tented himself wilh a touch of his bat, by way of recognition. He was sad too, for the scalded child had died during the nighl. 'Best not tell her now,'he thought; 'she has hor own trouble this morning.' God help her. She had indeed.
' Vou are full ten minutes behind j'our time. Miss Hinchliff. I never find you staying len minutes over your time,' was Mrs. Robert Smith's salutation.
' I am very sorry, ma'am—but I left my mother at home very ill—dying, ma'am, the doctor says,' replied Lucy, bursting inlo tears. ' Dying—dear me. Of course yoti feel very much put out; but punctuality, Mr. Koberl Smith says, is the soul of an engagement—and you have a characler to keep up—but as you are come, you can set Priscilla's raind at ease; she is dying to play the quadrilles, and to be¬ gin her rialian.'
' I—I was unable to run them through last
night, ma'am.' Stammprpil T.ncv    'mwmnfh»r
stammered Lucy,'my mother was so ill.'
' Then you are not ready with those quad¬ rilles again. Miss Hinchliff,' exclaimed Mrs. Robert Smith; ' really, at your age, a young woman should know the value of her promise.'
' I could not disturb my molher, said Lucy, appealingly.
¦ Of course, I take all that into considera¬ tion,'replied her employer. 'Biit you, as a responsible person, should knovr the value of a promise. However, I will excuse you since your mother is dying—only don't let it hap¬ pen again. You will commence Priscilla's llalian this morning, of course'?'
' I have bee.n so unfortunate as to forget my own grammar, but if Priscilla is provided wilh one '
' Her father says that he cannot afford any Italian books—her French ones came so e.v- pensive.—He thought you could have no ob¬ jection to lend her yours.'
VVhat could Lucy say, but that her books were at Priscilla's service ?
Her mother was worse that evening, and had been, as the neighbor said, delirious du¬ ring her absence, Lucy asked herself wheth¬ er she should practice the quadrilles. She was not long in deciding. Though they should go wilhout bread, she would not for¬ get her duly as a daughter. Her place was at her mother's bedside.
That day Mrs. Robert Smith paid a visit to a friend, whose governess not only taught Ita¬ lian, for the same salary that was paid to Lu¬ cy Hinchliff, but also professed to include Spanish. When Lucy was admitted the ne.vt raorning, the lady placed a small sum of mo¬ ney in her hand, and informed her that "do¬ mestic arrangements" would render her atten¬ dance in future unnecessary. The poor girl was not al all cast down by this circumstance. Was not her mother ill—dying, at home? She would not be obliged to leave her so early in the morning.
Her mother died three days afterwards. A letter sent by Lucy to the rich relation, brought a cool answer back, in which the wri¬ ter recommended her to "keep the character."
And now Lucy was alone in the world, in which are so many faces, and so many hearis beating with warm life. Even the toll-gate keeper had disappeared. His place was sup¬ plied by a slranger, a man of coarse, repul¬ sive aspect. Lucy lelt the loss, even of that acquaintance.
Wiihin a monlh after her mother's dealh, she was coinpelled to resign anoiher of her engagements; her employer, a widower, hav¬ ing made dishonorable proposals lo her. She adveriised in the papers, but could not meel with an appointment. She had removed into lodgings now.
One night—it was a cold rainy November night—Lucy Hinchliff sat in her lillle room by her fire, pondering much over many things, bul chiefest whal it was fitting for a young girl like her to do, who being so unprotected, was e.\posed lo so many insults.   She gazed
poundsayear,and aroomof your own.enough, it is yours lo-morrow; and that's all about it.'
The speaker, in the excilement of liaving accomplished his errand, clapped his hat on his head, and breathed freely. But he recol¬ lected himself, and took his hat off again.
' YoQ wish me to be governess to your chil¬ dren. Do I undersland you aright ?' said Lucy, only half conscious that the scene was real.
'Yes, miss, if you please; and if two hun¬ dred a year would saiisfy you, why—why ils done, and that's just where it is.'
' I thank God,' cried Lucy, bursting inlo tears. She was wide avrake, and understood all now.
It was all true—that was the best of it.— The man had really inherited a large fortune, loft him by some relative, hitherto unheaid of. And was not his early thought aboul the poor governess, who gave him a good word every morning, and inquiied after Billy, who was scalded ? Yes; for he had heard of her mother's death, and the proud consciousness of being able to confer a benefit on an orphan girl, elated his heart as much as the posses¬ sion ofa thousand pounds per annum. Lucy, of course, would not conseut to receive the salary he had named. How it was tinally settled, this chronicler knows not; but Lucy dwells with the quondam toll-keeper, and looks happy—very happy.
A small white stone has beeu erected al her mother's grave. You may see il, if you will walk for the putpose, to Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke-Newington.
From die Colcmbinn Magazine for Jane. MY BIRD.
UV FA.N.Vy FORRESTER.
Ere last year's moon had left the sky, A birdling sought my Indian nest.
And folded, oh so lovingly! Her liny wings upon my breast.
Froni morn till evening's purple tinge. In winsome helplessness she lies;
Two rose leaves, with a silken fringe. Shut softly on her starry eyes.
There's not in Ind a lovelier bird ;
Broad earth owns not a hnppier nest; Oh God, ihou hast a founiain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall rest!
This beautiful, mysterious thing, "This seeming visilaut from heaven.
This bird wilh the immortal wing. To me—to me, thy hand has given.
The pulse first caught ils tiny stroke. The blood its crimson hue, from mine ;¦
This life, which I have dared invoke, Henceforth is parallel with thine.
A silent awe is in my room—
I tremble with delicious fear; The future, with its light and gloom,
Time and Eternity are here.
Doubis—hopes, in eager tumult rise;
Hear, oh my God ! one earnest prayer ;- Room lor my bird in Paradise,
And give lier angel plumage there !

< I shall be mo.st happy, ma'am ?' replied Lucy, brightening up.
' Mr. Robert Smith says that he has read— he is a great reader, as yon know—that there are some very pretty poems In Italian, though he called one by a very shocking name—a kind, of play-house thing.'
' Which was that, ma'am ?' inquired Lucy,
mentally reverting to Goldoni and Metastatio.

' 1 beg your pardon, for intruding upon you,' he said, bashfully. ' I am come to speak to you about educating my children.'
Lucy bowed. She thought she had misun¬ derstood him.
' I am come to a large fortune lalely, miss, —a very large fortune—a matter of a thousand a-year. I knew no more of it, three months ago, bless you, ihan the raan in the moon; and I think, and my wife thinks, that our girls oughl lo be educated.'
'Certainly,' said Lucy, vacantly. She thought she was dreaming.
' And so we agreed that if you would come and live with us—we lives in a fine house now—and be one of ourselves, and teach the children, we thought that we should take it very kind of you.'
'Yes,' assented Lucy, mechanically, for she was not a whit the nearer waking.

and under his own inspection, nil of whicli lie offers
at Philadelphi.i prices.
He flatters himself, from long experience in the business, that he can furnish Hats &. Caps equal lo any establishment in Philadelphia, or elsewhere, wholesale and relail, and would, therefore, most respectfully solicit all persons who may want arti¬ cles in his line of business, to give him him a call, and examine his stock,before purchasing elsewhere.'
