MY FBlElfD'S NOVEL.
One monung, just as I had Bnishod breakfaai, I received a noto (rom my friend Sara Hall, beggiriir mc, it possiblo, to go over for a few- hours III I'le courso of the day. "Don't be alarmed," elio added in a postscript, " nothing is thc manor."
I was therefore not alarmed, but I waa some- whai curious ; and as I hurried over my light, domesiic duties, being housekeeper in my moth¬ er's absence, I taxed conjecture as to what could have prompted so urgent a summons. I had Been h<T bul two daya beforo—what could have arisen sincd then? The characier ofmy friend stimulated my anxiety. I was afraid lest the self-willed, vehement, over-indulged girl should be meditating aome wild, unheard of scheme, in which she wanted my co-operation.
I will not givo it, decided I with laudable firnmees, unless I heartily and spontaneously approve. At length I hadseon my two brothers fairly off on ihoir wayto the Cityof London School; had made every necessary arrangement fortheir early^dinner at one o'clock, and my father'a and mino at five ; Bnd felt myaelf at lib- ; erty to follow my wishes, and make my way to ¦ Mr. Hall's house.
It was an intensely coid but clear day in the early part of Jan'y, but I enjoyed such weaiher. I walked quickly, but taking in as was my wont, the efieci of things. The building* stood out hard and well defined against the deep blue sky. above all, I greeted wiih kindling glanaa the superb cupola and majestic proporiions of Saint Paul's. I loved and admired that magnificeni cathedral, as perhaps none but one born under ita shadow can. 1 had studied it from child¬ hood ; I knew how it looked under every aspect of 6«asou and weather, from every point of view —without over having to sot my foot outside of England, I waa prepared to maintain its absolute superiority over every edifice in Europe. I gave it now my proud all hail! ai I hurried past. WhonlgotiiHo Cheapside, there was nothing but human faces to amdy, and I was amply oc¬
cupied wilh them, and in taking my somewhat presumptuous measure oftho individual from at^ , tire, expression and gait. There was one point, I bowever—a picture dealer's ehop windows—at whjch I always hailed, and 1 did so now.
There was a large painiing prominently ei- hibiit'd, and it deserved its position. It rep re¬ sented a wild sea-fihore, gin with low black rocka, the peaks of which wore wonderfully aglow witii the selling aun, as wore the foamy crests ofthe incomios waves. There wos not a trace of vegetation, not a symptom of human life. A sterile subject, some would say; but it captivated me. That setting sun poured its rays thro'a boundicsdainiuiphcre; that sea stretched beyond iho limits ot tho picture into fathomless immoueiiy; thugo rocks conveyed palpably a sense oi ailence and solitude. Amidst the tur- ! moil of the great thoroughfare, my imaginaiion had pcneiraied into ihe very locaUty. " Now," ihoughi 1, " beneaih this clear, frozen sky, that sea IB at thia moment raging."
I walked on to my desiinaiion in a somewhat dreamy mood, unlil my proximity to the housc recalled my ihoughis lo the malter in hand. Mr. Hall was a surgeon in excellent practice, and it waa ai ihe door of one ol the stately but noi arisiocraiic mansions in Finsbury Square al which 1 knocked. Sara waa an only child, and unconirolltd misiressof her father's household, for Air, Hull bad losi his wife very many years ogo.
A fcvv morucais more found me in my friend's preity pnvaie ruom; it was as elegantly fitted up as a fashionable lady'a boudoir, and dcBervtd 10 be st> called ; but Sara set her face resolutely against all uuntcesaary Gallicisms, and would never suffer the appeiution.
"lam glad you are come," said Sara, em- plialicaily as I entered, and giving mo a chair by the blaaing fire ; but then came a pause, and she resunicd iho occupation X had lor a moment inicrrupicd .. that of walking up and down iJio roum.   Knowing her temper, 1 left her to de¬ clare her business in her own time nnd way— and, divesting mysolf of bonnet and shawl, ens¬ conced myfceli in the luxurious easy-chair,croaaed roy ieet, Which liJiad effectually cooled on the wild sea-shore, over the fendet; defiant of the impropriety, and prepared to wait in patience and in cumfori.    While waiting, I made a few obsurvaiiont'.   1 saw that Sara's escritior was covert.-i  with Eoatiered manuscripts; and that upon ihcm Iny a letter sealed and addressed.   I knew my friend's avocolione 100 well 10 be »ur- prised at the sight of manuscnpts; but tho let¬ ter, the direciion of which I could not help read¬ ing, puzzled me noi a littlo.   Amongst oihcr things, I noiiced ihe characier and beauty ol Sara's face, und that its habitual expreflaion of pride   and  diesaiisjaction waa  more fitrongiy marked than usual.   Her figure was parlicularly small and girlish; but what an air of resoluiion it neverthelcEs poBBeased \
Fresently sho drew the cscriiior close to ihe tire, sat down before it, and, folding her arms over her papers, fixed her glittering black oyes on my lace.
"Carry," the aaid pointing lo thc letter, "do , you see what I mean to do ?" Tho letter being ' addressed to a celebrated weit-end publisher, and eeen in conjunction with a heap of manu¬ scripts, did not leave much to natural sagacity. 1 mentioned the conclusion I drew therefrom.
"Iiut, Sara," I asked, *'what has becomo oi your old opinions ? Whal is lhe motive, when you ^0 iioi want money, and' have always bb- ¦"^erted yuu did not cure about iotae, at leaat such aa you wero likely to get!"
" 1 have lhe reputation of being capricious," was her answer, "and I am disposed lo think if I get what I deserve, 1 shall care about fame.— Do you think 1 shall be Hkely lo .fii^d any diffi¬ culty in gelling my novel published!"   .
I waa quite ignorant of euch mailers ; bat I asked with an air of competent authority, " On wbaMerms doyoumean to offer ttf"
'* On condition that I may publish it under an assumed name, and lhat my secret iasodulonBly kopt—thai ia the first and moat imporiant item. Secondly, that all pecuniary risk ia bome by the publiahers; as for pecuniary-.profita, I care no.
ihing aboul ihem ; MesarB,   may easily
mako with me a moat unfair bargaia." .
" Perhapa," said I, drily, "they won't at¬ tempt to take advantage of your indiflerence to profit; if reputation ii all you eare about, you 4)ught to be pretiy sure of the deserts ol your work/'
" I am pretty aura," said Sara, InrniDg over the leaves.
I reflected, then ventured to say: "I am not." Sara f ooked op quietly. I went on. "Fou are aware," eaid I, plsyiBg the critic, "so mnch is required, aow-tt-daye, in a novel.  Thsy make
a Bon of science of this kind of literature, and judge it by such striet rules, "Aa a workof art," begin the revieweia—my dear Sara, aa a work of an, what havo you to say lor yonr nov- elf" "Nothing," returned she with cool contempt. " You think the power it ahowg, and the promise it has, wiil cover a mahiinde of defici- eniies ?" oaked I. " Well, I hope othera will think BO too; " I hesitated, but Sara in¬ sisted on my saying all I thought. " I believe you have written it as a sort of safety-valve for the emoiioDS, passion? and opiniona you do not chooso to ahow and express, and which, porhapo you ought not to express in your intercourse with llu world. Could you endure, Sara, to have 'what you have written with such deep convic¬ tion arid inlanse earnesmess, sheered at and rid¬ iculed by somo cold-blooded, sharp-witted re¬ viewer I"
Sara's cheek flushed. " That is possible," she said, drawinga deep breath ; " and it would
be hard 10 bear; still "     Now ehe pauaed
in her lurn, and, pushing back her chair, re¬ sumed her pacingof tbe room. I could sae how her mind worked; there was something more in that conflici than she sufTered to appear. Af¬ ter a while she came back and leaned over the mantel-piece. I waited for her to resume the conversaiion, which she did presently.
" How do you think my book would appear lo a noble, discriminaiiDg, unpredjudiced mind ?" There was a vibration in the tone of her voice thnt made me look steadily at her. She was gazing into the firo with a dreamy softening ex¬ pression of countenance.
" Moat interesting—most ntirnctivo," said I, with fervour, "as showing n mind enamoured ot moral greatness. Such a render would not carp ai ihc elevation of your ideal, or aay your were impossible principlea; but then, Sara, auch minds are not very common, and are not ihose likely to seize upon lite last new novel." "How lonff, Carry, have you taken out a judge's paieniT" asked Sara,smiling. " I shalj publish my novel—if I can."
In the way of dissuasion, I said no tnore, and wc immediaiely foil lo a discussion of ways and meana, I was to take tho manuscripts up to  street; nnd Sara had arranged that all com¬ munications on the subject should be addressed to me. She had laid her plans so well, that ihere was Httle chance, we thought, of her identity being ever discovered. When we had exhausted the lopic of poesibiljiies connected with lhe rejection, reapplicstion, acceptance, and public reception of her work, I asked: "But whal has induced this sudden resolution I I heard nothing about publication on Tuesday." " All my resolutions are sudden, the result of mere impulse," was her answer. " I have no other explanation to give."
I said no more, although I was not satisfied. There was lhat in the repressed energy and ex¬ ciiement of her manner, that convinced me some second, or rather primary motive, larked behind.
The nexi day I left the manuscript at tho publishers. I had rather dreaded this exploit; but I found noihing formidable in it. A grave- looktng man met rae on thc very threshold of the office, took the packet I timidly presented, gave it a quick glance, and th^n set it down in a dusky corner of tho dusky room, whero I had an uneasy dread il would be forgoiten, and moulder away in obscurity.
" Very good," he enunciated; "quite right;" and I felt there was not anoiher word to say on the subjecl, and forthwith took my departure. I must, however, slate, that boforo Sara took me into her confidence, she had written to the firm, asking if they were disposed to examine her manuscript, and had received a civil reply, expressing their good pleasure eo to do, and beg¬ ging her 10 forward it.
A period of intense anxiety set in while we , waited for the result. When alono, Sara and I had but one topic, but it was an exhaustless one. Then our dire ignorance of thsae matters pressed heavily; we had no idea what would be considered a reasonable lime to give before we could venture to request to be favored with a decision; a step the impatient, haughty young authoress, would soon have taken had I not re¬ strained her. My secret anxiety was—ofcourse never breathed to Sara—that the manuacHpt had never found its way to tho proper person.— Lifo, however, did not stand siill in sympathy with our suspense ; Sara, indeed, seemed fuller than ever of that restless vitality which I some- timos found almost burdensome. It was evi< dent 10 me it wes noi only the chances of her novel that harassed her; but she was a strange girl, andl did not veniure to question her. A^ length a light fell upon my understanding-
I camo one afternoon to spend a few days with Sara, leaving etrict orders at home that any let¬ ters addressed to mo ehould be brought by my brother Charles. My iriend was dressing for dinner when I entered her pleasant, warm bed¬ room, and I had not been in it many momenis before I discovered that she was taking especial pains with her toilet. " Is any one coming V I asked. " Yes," said Sara, with a sudden glow and a scornful laugh; "Mr. Godfrey Knighi is com¬ ing."
I was complelely puzaled. I had never aeen, but I had heard a good deal of this gentleman.— By profession he was a barrister, and of rising repute; but in society he was. less successful— I had heard some of my young lady-friends mercilessly riducule lhe plainness and insignifi cance of his appearance ; and even Sara had made some most ungenerous but ironically wit ly obsenaiions thereon. From^belier auihoriiy I had heard striciures on his displeasing deport¬ ment in society, his uncourteous ailence, as i' he considered himsolf a spectaior of the acene, or hig cynical severity, as il ho had tho right 0' censorship. On this point, too, Sara hud strong¬ ly oipressed herself.
" What are you going lo do V asked I, anx¬ iously ; "not condescend to play the coquette, surely?" Sara emiled, but without giving mo any satisfaction on the point. I had no particu¬ lar fault to find with Mr. Knight. Plain indu¬ bitably he was, and, what was far worse—short; but ihen.he he had an expression of inleliigen:;e , which would have refined coarser feaiures.— True, he spoke but Hule ; bul he was attentive to lhe courtesies of the table, and Mr. Hall's organ of languago prompted him at all times to tako the burden of conversation chiefly on himself. Sara, loo, talked agood deal—that is, whenever, Mr. Knight said anything sufficient¬ ly near an opinion for her to oppose, or whenev¬ er hor father's discourse gave her an opportuni¬ ty of stating some unheard-of or paradoxical senliment. I had never seen her in>uch a mood before, or heard her say so many eitravagani things in'the course of an evening. Mr. Light let her have all her own way, Iistening;io her wilh an irritating smilo, and never defending his own words. When we retired to tbe draw¬ ing room I expressed my feelings.
"You must havebeen trying to appear ri¬ diculous," said I; "is Mr. Knight's contempt worth so much pains t"
She gave me an angry, almost fierce look, but softened immediately,
"Iam pla)ing no part. Carry; thai is what his presence always makes of me. He despises girlflfrom the bottom of his heart; hc tempts me beyond my power of resisiance to justify fais estimate."
I saw her lip quiver as she spoke, but it might be wilh wounded pHdo ; to the same lechng I j attributed the glow of her cheeks and the unu¬ sual gliiier of her eyes. I did not pursue the subject, and when the two genllemen came in to lea, lhey interrupted a debate on the usual top- ic. Afier tea, Mr. Hall asked his daughler for sorae music; shecompHed wilh unusual eager¬ ness.
" ^^' ^^- Knight," she said, pausing on her way 10 tbe piano, " detests music."
"The feeling is not quite ao strong," eaid lhat genllemen, taking up a book. "I shall scarcely hear you."
Sara eat down to hor instrument, and played for about half an hour certain elaborate tuneless rondas and divortisemento she had learned at school. I felt it must be by design, for music, in the. true accepialidn of the phrase, was her particular tiilent, ami ber prcseni performanco had no merit but eiaptness. Her faiher.foU in. to a doze at length, and then Sara rose.- Mr. Knight hsd been reading fais book very diligent¬ ly, buthe cioaed it poUiely enough as ihe music ceased, and the musician drew near to the fire- Sara leaned over iho maniel-piec'e in the grace¬ ful, careless altitude which was .habitual 10 her- "That is an unnecessary courleny,'' aaid she, addressing Mr.,Knight, and atreiching out he|- hand lo tako from him the book he was on the point of puttingdown.   She turned Iq-the tllle-
' I ahould'never have supposed you read
ainile: poetry."
"Ireadil so Utile, that your aupposiiion is juBtified."
S«ra stopped faere, bull asked, "Don'tyou like poeiry f"
Hr. Knight smiled, perhaps at the ignorant way in wbich I propoaed my queation, aud Sara added: "I ahonld like to know whether you consider it above or below your attention ?"
"I have,never given atlention 10 it—lacking time and opportunity; so I can scarcely answer the queslion. Amongst the lolents commitied to my keeping, leisure is not one."
"^ Birong natural love ol poetry," eaid Sara, would havo enabled you to make leisure to in¬ dulge it."
" Well, then, I can safely say, I.have not such aiove. Pray," he added, smiling, "isthiadefi ciency very great in your eyes:
" Vory, It is a deficiency that involves so many others."
" Perhaps," said I, "you are no readerof books at all?"
" No; not what you moan by u reader.   The few booka I do read indispose me_fi>r the many." 'Tam happy to say," remarked Sara, "my mind is not above my generation."
Mr. Knight smiled very comfortablyunder the eaiire, and look his leave as aoon as Mr. Hall roused himself. I mode no comment to Sara on her behaviour, but drew quietly my own in¬ ference. ,
The next morning, tho servant brought me a leuer left by my brother on hia way from school.   I recognised it at once as a mispive
from street-   On one point I am convinced J
no letter recoived before or since ever excited such a tumult of feeling. It was not for me, however, lo break the seal, and I carried it to Sara. I had a hunt through nearly all the rooms in the house before I found her, and uhen I did find her, she was in no responsive mood. She was standing in the cold, cheerless drawing¬ room—the fire never being lighted till mid-day —with the raorning newspaper eprend out on the table before her, over which ahe was bowed in a posture indicativo of no ordinary absorption m ii8 contents. I
" Sara," I cried, holding the letter abovc my head, " look here 1" She did not seem to guess what 11 was, for she made a movement of impa¬ iience and looked down ai herpaper again.
I threw the letter playfully on ihc paper before her eyes. She snatched it up as if it could have conveyed some kind of pollution to ihe page, and in so doing perceived what il was. Then her indifference changed to excitement. " Open and read it. Carry," sho said : " I can't."
The first glance was enough' I made a liule bound of joy. Sara, catching thc result from this very expressive gesturf, took the letter from me and read it hersolf.
" Madam—I am desired by  Messrs. , to
inform you ihat ihey are wilHng to undertake the publicaiion of your novel on iheir usuaj terms."
Then followed a business-hko statement of these terms, which, novice as I was atthat lime, seemed 10 me very magnificeni.
"That w(H do," said Sara; "but 1 muet know how soon they wiH publish ii."
Thera was an expression of softened exulta¬ tion in her faco, and I observed that her eyes dwelt on lhe newspaper. "You see," said I, reading over the letter to myself, " we have no means of contradicting their slatemeni. We have on !y their word for il that theso arc their usual terms."
" True, bul I care noihing aboui the money; l2t them publish my book, and lhey can't cheat me of my object."
In a few days the whole matter was sealed ; formal agreements were  drawn up and aigned, and the book waa to appear immcdiatoly.— Popular auihors during the precceding months had been pouring forth their favours on the pub¬ Hc, and were now resting on their bars and re¬ ceipts.   The novel-reading world juat then waa unemployed ; it was the exact point of lime for a new writer to make her appeal.   No objection had been mado to her pseudo name, and in order (he batter l» preserve her secrecy,  ihe correc- ' tion of the proofa was taken ofTher  hand?.   Ii : was evident to my mind, from the complaisance ! of tha publishers, that they considered they had I got agood thing., , !
" Sara," I said one day, " I begin to think this book will make you famous." Saraehook hor head.
" If it does," I asked, prudently desirous of preparing for an event thai might never be re¬ alized, " will you declare youraelf?"
" I will wait lill I  am famous before I de¬ cide," aaid Sara, who. so far aa I could see, wns almostas indifferent to the fame as to the profit. During this period Mr. Knight was so frequent a visiter, that we had   little chance of forget¬ ting him.    Why he came I could not tell, for he ! was a very different man from Mr. Haii, whose loquacity obviously wearied him ; ond Sara did not seem lo attract him.   He watched her a gooddeal, itwas true, but it seemed less from individual interest, than from the philosophical tendency toe.Mmine carefully every ncwsubject presented to him, she was rude and satirical ; in her behaviour to others before him, extravagant and even  frivolous,   I tried to hope ihat Mr. Knight would detecthcr real character beneath the disguise she so strangely assumed ; then, again, I ihought it was requiring loo much from his penetration.   For my owii part,  I had a growing admiralion and esteem for him.   I had learned that of his public and privato life which indicated a characier of no ordinary derision and puriiy of principle.   A late political law¬ suit, in which ho had borne a distinguished part, had raised his reputation beyond all dispute ; in society far higher than ours, wa knew ho was courted   and flattered.   Moreover, more   than once at Mr. Hall's I had heard him defend cer¬ tain  principles and opinions, which had been carelessly or maliciously attacked, ina monnej. j lhat had roused a wnrm  response from all the | beet port of my nature.   He was not by any meana a rhetorician ; his strength lay  in the cleames andfotcoof his thoughts, nnd in  the pure relation his worda bore 10 them.   Truth never received any artificial adornment at his hands; it was her naked beauiy he worshipped and presented for worship.   Then ho was thor¬ oughly in earnosi ; his   strong self conviction carried conviction to thc candid hearer.   My friend Sara had   a for more emotional and pas¬ sionate admiration than I for moral greatness; and at such times ag thoso to which I have re¬ ferred, it was beyond the power of art lo check the glow of enthusiasm thai rose 10 her cheek, or 10 hide lhe kindling glance of recognition and sympathy.   My only regrei was, that ii was precisely ai these momente thai Mr. Knighi, in¬ tereated in his subjeci, did not look at her.
Then also I knew ihai Sara secretly admired him ; she foUo-»/ed the law suit in all its wind¬ ings, and read Mr. Knight's speechea with a dil¬ igence I was unable to emulate—for, good as no doubt they were, thoy were very dty. I had heard her once defend him with an eloquence from which he might have learned a leason, and with BO minute an acquaintance with his individ¬ ual cxcellencioQ, lhat I discovered that hitherto I had done him very imperfect jusiice. With all my female ingenuity and knowledge of rny friond, I could not quite reconcile her conduct ^ilh her sentiments, and her own explanations ihereupon only involved the matter moro and more
At length a new interest called me off from Mr. Knighi. .Sara's novel was announced for publication in a. way calculated lo whei pub lie curiosity, but ihat strongly displeased the author,
" Such tricks of theirade humiliate me," ahe said. "X almost hopa lhey will defeat their own end."
There was one singularity in this transaction that I bad noticed before; Sara always spoke as if her interests, were quite separate from those of her publiahers. Tho book came oul duly— and, to Bora up its success in a phrase, created a perfect furor. Sagacity was on the track to dis¬ cover the author,.but sagacity was at fault. Sara Hall, together with the rest of the world, read (he new novel, bnt was more sparing 0! her opinions thereupon than was her custom. What she had said about her indifference lo fame, her conduct justified... X was for more full of exulta¬ tion than heraelf; ahe would put do^n.the moat laudatory review, wilb a dissatisfied sigh—she would haar It praiaed and wondered about in so¬ ciety, with scarcely a ctange of color. I had repeatedly'expressed'my ctinosily to know whether Mr.'Kriigfat hiid readiii.aiid one even¬ ing, when he hapji'ened to call during one of my visits, I abruptly put tbequeatioatioJiim. .
"I never read novels.", ho anawered.  '"I hoye not time," .,1.:    ¦¦.
.   "Well," he said, relemirigly "ifit cornea in my way."
I longed to ask him if fae expected the book would meet bim, but I dared say ho mora. He appeared to be reflecting on the subject, for presently he aaked, ^'have you read it, Miss HaH»
"Yea," said Sara, with a self-possession no amounl of training would ever enable me to at¬ tain. The next queslion was inevitable, "What do you ibink of»T" he asked. " Moro than I can say at a moment's notice," replied Sara, lurning away with her usual inci- viUty.
A few minutes after, Mr: Hall came in wilh an evening paper in his handa.
" Here's a cut-up," he' exclaimed, rubbing his handa, ah ifit were a personal gratification. "Here's a cut-up of the new novel! Lale in the field, but the slaughter's tremendous! Sara, my girl, you're a capital reader; lel us havo it aloud—wa have all read the book."
I never wns so nearly committing myself in my life, but Sara restored me to a eense of the present necessity. She took the paper quietly her father held out 10 her, and his perception^ were not quick enough to seo lhat her hands trembled. It was the only sign of agitation. She sat down, and carelessly glanced it over be fore commencing aloud.
"Mr. Knight has not read-the book," she eaid, glancing up at him, "it ia hardly fair for tbe aulhor."    There waa a vibration in her voice ; that I am aure lho person addressed muat have , felt.
"A disparaging criticism," he replied, " hog often disposed mo favorably towards the book Condemned."
Sara began to read, and read lho article ihrough to I he end with no interrupiion beyond Mr. Hall's keen enjoyment of its coarse wit. Merciless ridicule was the aolo weapon employed; it had evidently been dictated by a mind thoroughly antagonistic to the writer's, for thore was euch* hearty cordiality in its invective. A book such as I have before described Sara's, presented sirong lemptations to such mode of attack-my wonder wos that it had not been had recourso to before.
"It is clever," said Sara, putting it down; " and perhapa the writer's honest; but it ia un- jusi."
I marvelled at her self'Command, but it was not perfect—there wasa deep flush on her cheok, a scintillation in her eyea ihat she could not con¬ trol. I obaerved that Mr..Knight sat gazing at her, aeemingly in a stale of abairaction. Whon ho look his leave, he said to her—
•'¦I shall read that book, and form myown jUdgmcBt; it is but an act of justice 7"
I could see ihal night that Sarah waa atrongly excited, ihough she represaod the signs as well as she could.   I aUributed it lo the review, but ' on saying something in the way of sympathoiic 1 indignation, I found my condolences were quhe superfluous.   The next few doys, Sara was vory quiet and self-contained,but I detecled an under , curreni of emotion and anxiety, which always seemed at its flux as the evoning drew near.   It was evident to me that she was expecting Mr- Knight.
Aftertho lapse of a week, he came late one evening. If anyihing had been needed 10 con¬ firm the idea I entertained, Sara,s flush ot col¬ our would have supplied it. To my extreme disappointmeni and annoyance, Mr- HaU al once engaged him in aome political discussion. Sara .went 10 her piano, and played some of the ex. quisiie airs in Norma, as no one elae in my opinion, could have done. I watched Mr* Knighi, with interest. Laugh al my woman's intuition, dear reader, ifyou like, but I felt certain ho had read Sara's book, and, more than that, had divined that it was here. Isaw his eyes rest upon her with an expression that told me moro than thie : that a veii had been lifted from the past; that, by the aid of that crude bul noble production, he read my friend'schar- acter arighl. Did ho read mote than this f : Mr. HaU was presently called oul on some pro¬ fessional emergency, and then Mr. Knight drew near Sara's piano. "Ihave read that book," he said ; " would you core to have my opinion f Surely, interested in the mailer as I was I bad aright to his cntieal ob£crvaiions; neverthe¬ less, an instinct kept me in my soat, which waa at the furthor end of the room. Soro softly touched the keys, while he spoke—at lesBishc did at first; after awhile, tho sound ceased H she lified up her before bowed face, flushed anrf radiant. As ho bent towards her, I slipped ou^ of lho room. *
Still, as I walked up and down Sara's room, I could not quite understand it, and having per¬ plexed myself in vain, resolved to wait forthe explanation Iwas determined to extract from my friend. Wait, in irulh, I did. More thon one hour passed, and the second wos far spent, when I heard Mr. Hall's impalicnt knock at the houae door, and a few momenis ofier I heard Sara's ooming footsteps. " Sara," I exclaimed, trying to seize her floating skirts as she run past tho door—" Sara, I must say one word !" She evo ded -me, however, shaking herself free wiih a mocking lough, and locking herself securely in the strong-hold of her bed-room. It was too bod; but thore was nothing for it bul submis¬ sion.
Bul lho next morning I secured hor at the confesiiionDl. "Am I, then, lo underaiand," asked i, in my untiring effort to comprehend ihe matter fully—"ami, then, to understondthat your chief motive in publishing this novel was lhe chance ofMr. Knight's reading it, and tak¬ ing a true measure of your choracter ihereby 2 Have you loved him so long )"
'•Even so," said Sara, with crimsoning cheeks. " It was a romaniic veniure—a chance asyou call it; bull could think ofno other means of showing him what I really wos—how mucb ho wos mistaken."
"But you took such pains to mislead him, Sara."
" Carry, how ignorant you oro. Could I ven¬ ture to show him how solJciious I was for his good opinion ? I cored ao much for it, there WQB no middle course open to me." .
" Sensible men," soid I aententiously, "should bc careful how thcy gauge the character of a high-Bpirited, frivolous-seeming girl."
" Ho had exercised more penetration than most sensible men. He had formed a pretty fair estimate of me before he guessed I wrote that book, or had read il. What generous things he said last night!" added Sara, with a flush of ardour.- "Under his guidance, f moy do better things than that."
"They say," soid I, laughing, "that pure fame ia never enough for a woman.
" That heart," returned Sara, with a weU- pleased smile, " whether belonging to manor woman, must be narrow indeed which pure fame would satisfy. Carry, I long to aee you OS happy os I am now !"

What We Eat.—The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, under the head of " Police Docket," records a late case in the Police Court in that city, atter the following fashion. We wonder if Philadelphia confectionera aro "sinners abovo all olhera."
Theodore Harper, a young journeyman con- feciioner, complained that hie employer, Abra¬ ham F. Conway, siruck him over thehead witb a tin ladle, and otherwise maltreated faim, with¬ out juat cause or provocation. Conway, the mailer confectioner, admitted, the assault, but alleged that Harper had merited lbe chastisement by a shameful waste of his.employer's property- "I set him to mixing spongeoake," said Mr. Conway, " and out of six dozen eggs I allowed him to pul in, ho threw away two dozen and a half."
Harper.—The eggs were clean spoiled, you might have emell them from the Slate House to the Girard College.
Conway.—It'a no such a thing. The egga wasn't damaged; none to hurt. As for the smell, thai'a noihing—the seasoning oftho cake will kill thai. As long as an egg hosn't gol a chicken in it, it will pasa. Every confectioner will lell you the very samo thing-'"
Harper.—I hoppon to know belter than lhat. I've, worked with bosses that wouldn't put in en egg unless it amelt as sweet as a rose,''
Conway.—Bosses! bah! botches, you mean. The more sour eggs tbere is In a batch, the more the cake is liked. The ladies say it has a much finer flavor. I tried onco how it would go with aZi stale egga, andthe way that cake took was amazing. The furiher on egg ia gone, the ! richer it ia. Bul when it comes to chickens) I that's nbl so weli.
Mayor.—How so ? I Conway.—Why, you see, chickens won't work up—tbey won't mix; the dough would be lumpy like, and that wouldn't lookso nice. The folks might lake it for a chicken pie. He ! he! Nobody joined in tho merriment ofMr. Con¬ way ; the oudienco was loo rauch horrified to laugh. An officer who had beon detained away frora hia breakfast, and was muncing a piece of fancy cake, to temporize with his appetite, was observed to throw the delicate morsel to a dog under the clerk's desk. The pleading of Mr, Conway in favor of stale eggs, did not make a very favorable impression on the Court. He was ordered lo find bail for his appearance to answer for an aggravated assault on tfae conscientious Harper, whoso integrity of principle and discrim- inaiingolfactorieshave procured bim the Ul-wiU ofhia employer.
Taww^ IT EAiT-TrA-W bleiudd was caUednpen to htlfit a wrkof eject ment, issued by a aon ot the Emertld lilfl against a fellow eountryman. Dan, who haver needs pBraoasion to do fais dnijr, inatantly called upon Pat, and found hini seated ih lho hottaa named, inthoxvrit.eiyoying a^'dttdeen."
•' Good mornmg, Pat," eaid Dan, pnlling out hia wril.    .
"The top 0* fhe morning to youraelf," repUed Pat.
" Patrick, I have bueinesi with you/Tcon" tinued the Constable.
"Be dad, and suro ye faave, or ye wouldn't be heris."
•'IjfaaTe a writ here, commanding me to eject You and your goods from this house. It's rather an unpleasant duty for mo to perform, but— "An' it's Michael O'BalHgan that ordered ye eure." "Yes sir, Michael ia, the man-" "An'did he pay the costs, Misther Conata¬ ble t"

" Then yo have beon paid for your . work, auro V
" Certainly."
" Then ye maydoit—divilabitwjll PatrickO. Brien stand in iho way of a man's working for fais pay."
Thie rather ostonished Dan, who expecied as is usual in such cases, to meet with aerious re¬ sistance. He doffed his coat, and after an hour's hard labor, succeeded in removing the Irish¬ man's goods from the building into tho sireet. Dao. fatigued wiih the labor ho had perlormed, staried away. In bidding him good bye. Fat, who wos aeated on a pari of bia goods, with the "dudeen" still in his mouth, remorked—
" An' I'm obliged lo yo, sir, for saving me all the trouble." " Saving vou irouble, how V "Faith, an' wasn't I going to move; an' wasn't I just taking off my coot to lug out the duda, sir, whin ye carried 'em aU down for me, wilhout charging me a cint atall? I'm miich obliged to ye, and bope ye will call agin when Patrick O'Brian wanta hia goods carried down stairs, sir."
Dan suddenly had business at anothor place, ihougb tbe joke waa so good he cjuld not help telling it afterwards.

No Room Here.—" No room hero," called out n chorus of muBical voices—"not on inch of room."
The handsomo "bus" had stopped in tho centra of Broadway. Upon the ateps slood n pale girl, very poorJydressed—within—the siiks and lace nnd finery of ten or twelve children ol faahion iluttered with mortal and select horror.
The pale lace looked aftgerJy io—sadness sat in the laded eyea—a shade of disappomtment crossed ibo lair leatures, at the cry (a sneering cry it was) of " no room here."
" I'm very tired," she ventured to plead^bot thc repeated  cry, of * no room," disheartened her, and aho turned to pick hor way through the mud to the opposite aide. " No room here!"
"Keep oat!" sorrowful-and down-trodden j onea, keep out—homely want and patched gar-'' ments keep out—you who have felt-the keen pinching of hunger; and wept over the acantily sodded graves ofdoad human passions, don't touch our braided garment, soil notour costly laces with profane eyo glances.
Look at our hands ! they are white nnd del- icatcly .gloved—look at your red fingers—toil; are they fit to join wilh oars ?
No! keepout ofour palaces—our shops, our carriageg, evon of the people's omnibua when we are in for there's ino room- there. Go into our kitchens—^retire to the shade of the city's purli¬ eus—atickio yourslop-ahopa, and wear out your fingers npoa six cent ahirts.
What if our grandfathers did sell candles, keep junk shops, retail snuff, they, don't now— they've gone to heaven—been gone ad long that weVa lorgoHen thom.        .
No room hero ! , Oh! away, withering faah- ion,if.thua thou canat corrupt. Let our faith be iJjaL of the lowly,.. Let-the bleeding spirit come to U6| that if we cad; we may minister to it.«- NeVor4Bt'itbe saidpl bur heart, wJien sorrow 1 comes fotBjrmpathy, ".there'sndiwin there.''
Young men,if you want to bo reapected, don't try to see how much rum youcan drink, girls flirt with, hearts break, tailors ruin,bootmakers Bwear, or landressea weop; but how many peo- pie you con make jolly, wise, better, and your¬ self more really a big man. Good deeds and high respectare wedded as naturally as igno¬ rance, vie and dirty pocket handkerchiefa.
A gentleman talking to another on the sub¬ ject of marriage, made the foUowing observa¬ tion: "I first saw my wife in astorm; carried her to a ball in a storm; married ina storm i lived in a storm all her life ; but ihank heaven, 1 buried her inpleasant weather."
We bava heard of an old lady who was so very particularly neat, that abo alwaya nicely washed her eggs before she broke them into the pan 10 fry; and was always particularly careful, moreover, to spit in the pan to see if tho fat was juat exactly hot enough to fry them.
I remember, says a wiity wriier, being in company wiib a lady who was very much paint¬ ed. When sho withdrew, a genlleman present observed, that "it wasa pity she painted."— " I am ol a differenl opinion," replied another gentleman present. "To me," rejoined the firsi, " she seemed frightful wilh paint." " So she doea iome," said the second, "but not quite 30 frigluiul as she does without it."
Did you oversee a 3oung lody, wilh a preity fool or fnce, who didn't like to have everybody know il ? It is as natural for ihe sex to be proud of theae institutions, 03 it is for young corduroy to express admiration for them. Nevertheless, tbey have ruined hosts of honesi biit unfortunate folks.
Avoid a man who is alwaya using four-story, high-hill language. There's no moro likelihood ofhis getting a sensible idea out of his head, Iban of melting a picco of iron in a snow bank. Folks were not born on stilts, and can not live on them. Keep a sharp eye on highfaluiina generally.
Girls, go in for plain rings, whether at lhe font, altar, or elsenhere. We should as soon think of "fixing up" a kiss in molasses ond nutmeg, 10 mako it "go," as to order a ring smothered in twigs, run rounds, grapo leaves, oDgels, meeting houaes, cupids, and all thoso ; wrinkles.   Tako to the plain thing, girls.
"Handsome is that handsome does," saya lhe proverb. Therefore, ugly folke may consider themselveB ^ood looking when lhey " do the handsome thing."
Love iaan idea; boef is reality—at least ao says old Scroggs.
A man boing brought before a magiatrate for knocking down and etampiDg on a man named Matthew, his lawyer said thoy could not blame a man for wiping his feet on a Mat.
Said a Missouri judge to a witnesa on the atand, " How do you know the plaintiff was in¬ toxicated on lhe evening referred to?" " Be¬ cause I saw him, a lew minutes after ihe muas, trying to pull off hia trouaera with a boot jack."
Fat peoplo are happy. Wo don't believe they can help being otherwise. They are made for happiness, and made large, bo they can hold a great deal.
Man, while he loves, is never quite depraved. This depends upon whether it Ig a love for rum or woman—good spirits or bad.

Jobie come to our house one night at dark and rapped at tho door, and I said come in. He opened the door, and there was Jobie. I said come in and tako a cheer. '* No," said bo ; " Lizzie, I've come of an arrant, and I alius du my arrants tust." "But you'd better come in and take a cheer. Mr. W." " No, I can't till I've done my ar¬ rant; the fact is, Lizzie, I've come on this courtin' business. My wife's been dead theae three weeks, and everything's going to rack and ruin right alon^. Now, Lizzie, if you'ro a mind to have me, and take caro ofmy house, and my children, and my things, tell mo, and I'll corae in. and take a cheer; if not, I'll got somo one elso tu."
Why, I was skeered. I said, ifyou come on this courtin' bisness, come in. I must ihink on it a leetle."
" No, I can't till I know.   That's my arrant. Can't set dowp till my arrani'a done." " I should like to think on't a day or tu." " Now you needn't, Lizzie.', "WeU, Jobie, if I must I most-ao here's tu ye,ihen."
So Mr- W. came in, then he went after the Square, and he'married us right off, and I went hum, 'long wiih Jobie, that very night.
TeH ye what it is, these long courtina don't amount tu anything- Just as well do it up in a hurry.
