One erening when we were indulging onrflelves witti the last-named pleasare, and Mias Woodville, who had&Bweetlj modnlated voice, was reading the " Vioar of Wakefield " to me, I happened to look np and perceived Mr. Frankland stand¬ ing in the doorway. Aa he canght my eye, he entered the room, with many apologies. "I happened, ladies, to catoh a few words of my old friend, the Vicar, and I oonld not resist listening, as I thonght I shonld not dis¬ tnrb yon. However, as the disturbance has been mf de, pray let me join the admiring cir¬ cle ronnd my old friend. Am I intrnslre ?" added he, addressing Kiss Woodville, wfao with some embarrassment had half olosed her volame. ' Oh, no, sir!" she replied, fearing to have wonnded him, for she had often remarked with commiseration tlie lonely and despised position of the poor lame gentleman in the family; " oh no, sir, we shall gladly welcome any friend of good Dr. Primrose 1" And tben she rose and placed him a chair, for she loved to play the hostess in her Uttle parlor. The reading recommenced, our rea¬ der soon resumed her animation, and so inter¬ ested were me, that I lingered an hour after the proper time of my departure. "Well, Misa Woodville," said Mr. Frank- land, rising as I moved to leave, *' avery good story, bat a sad moral after all has Ooldsmith given US." " A sad moral I" repeated we both, breath¬ lessly. "No,no! aomething better. Bat I know yna can never gness onleae I give youa little bint I There Is a wedding in question. Yoa koow the parties." " And the gentleman*a name ia Frankland, and the lady's Woodville f Am I wrong F" "HowcorM yon gness so soon f bat It is trne, qnite trae ? Can yon wonder that I am 80 bappy, Jane?" Her faoe was radiant witb blashes, and love and bappiness: who oould refase to re¬ joice with this little governess, hitherto all alone and neglected f Kot I. I begged herto tell me how the event came aboat. " Well, tben, Jane, after yon left ns, I saw more and more of Mr. Franklaod, somehow we were conCinaally meeting, when something was said so interesting, that I thonght of it till we met again. I told myself I should never be fit to teach if thia nent on. Well, one Sunday—do not tbink me wery wicked I —thoughts and Dnxletles abont Mr, Frank, land kept tormenting me alt oharoh-time, so that I determined to stay at home in the eren- Ingj which the children were to spend with their grandmamma, whether reading to my¬ self would not bring me inlo a better frame of mind. So I went to the schoolroom, and soaght to persude myaelf that I shut ont the world as I closed the door; wheu who shoald come knocking at the door, but that very bit of the world that had done all the mischief." " Mr. Frankland, is short," Interposed I. " Well Jane it was. He looked very awk¬ ward, and 80 did I.

"Yet you listened with much interest fo this hackneyed end?" returned Miss Wood¬ ville, roguishly, " So much ao, that I want to kuow whether I may attend to-morrow's reading ?" "Yes, ifyou will pay yoar footing, if yoa will read to ua yourself. Yon see.

FRAWKLAKL'S MARRIAGE. I have pas.sed mj lifo as a dressmaker go¬ ing about amoug souje of the best families in L . Oue of my moat constant employ¬ ers was a Mrs. Dash ^ ood, a worldly and fash¬ iouable woman with a large family. Among her many sons aud dauebters, though apparently not o/tbem, was a ynuuij man o^ far ditfert-ut t-haiacler. This young gentle¬ man's mother (si:;t«r to Mr. Dasbwood) had married uufortuuateiy, lost htr husband the first year of her marriage, and, dying herself ten years after, left ber ouly child, a penniless orphan, to her brother's charge, who had not entirely neglected the tmst. But, at the out¬ set of Ufe, poor young Frankland bad been attacked witb a long illness, which thongh yielding to medical treatment, saddled him for life with a perceptible lameness, and a something peculiar and quaint iu his manner. Hia coasins called him " poor George." Poor George was glad to be content with a clerkship in a good olfice at the humble salary of one hnndred and fifly pounds a year, with which he paid his aunt for his board, and put by some¬ thing for charity. He was of a lower and slighter mako than bis fashiouable cousins, and, by tbe side of theirs, his clothes looked but old fashioned ; nevertheless his face could not be seeu withonl exciliug interest. Sad to plainiiveness as it was, there was an espres- eion of manly endurance npon his countenance which redeemed it from all morbidness, and there was no mistaking the refinement aud kindne-=s of his heart. The servants all Uked him, and he never met rae on the stairs, or anywhere, without some courteous remark. I used to notice, too, what a pleaaant way he bad with the children during his frequent vis¬ its to the schoolroom, caUing forth their in' telligence wilh unaffected simplicity, or check¬ ing their passions with a certain quiet wisdom peculiarly his own. The schoolroom was always appropriated for me and my work; I suppose in rei:ollecUon ofihe time, not so long ago, when I bad seen better days. It was an agreeable surprise to me to find, on returning to Mrs. Dasbwood, after their usual summer absence, that lbe former super¬ cilious governess was gone, and a new yonng lady in ber place, wLo greeted me with a pleasant smile, set a chair for me, and cleared a space for my work at the other eud of the table uext the fire. Tbis young lady waa not pretty, bat she was a fresh, sweet-tempered looking creature, with clear, loviug evea, and the brightest smile I evei saw. It was a pleas¬ ure to hear her cheerful voice with the child¬ ren. After thechildreu'a tea, Miss WoodvIUe, that waa the new governess' name, had to aee that her chaige w^-re nicely dressed to appear at dessert down stair.':, then delivering tbem over Into the hands of the nurse, her day's work was at length over, and she sat down to enjoy herself. I cume back to the schoolroom from SQperintendiug the smoothing ot soma trimmings, and found her with a book in her haud. This she laid aside at onco on my ap¬ pearance, and taking out her work, evidently set herself to be .sociable, and do the honors of her Uttle kingdom. Sbe won mybeart at once by speaking of my mother. Her auntj ehe sail bad often mentioned her with great respect, and she insinuated, wilh the most delicate tact in the world, tbal ah » knew how different was my original rauk from that which I now held. Tben we talked abont the child¬ ren, concerning whom and their characters she had theories witbout tnd. Nest tbe conver¬ sation tnrned to books, aud ahe told me the tale of the nove! she was reading in such a pretty way tbat it was as good as reading the book itself. I waa engaged to work for Mrs. Dasbwood the whoie of tbis week, and, at the end of that time a real friendship had sprung up between myself and Miss WoodvUle. Womeu see throagh each other so clearly, that they can scarcely be in tbe same house for any lengtb of time without a downright like or dislike. Miss Woodville was a poor orphan, destined from her cradle to be a governess. When I become acquainted with her, she had been teachiug ten years, baviug beguu at the early age of sixteen. Sbe had no expectations of any happier lot, but was content, with ipstino- tive love, to tmat her fntnre to her God.— Her pride did not revolt at the ideaof serving. She had known mach adversity, but she did not think sbe deserved a bri .¦hter Jot. People were often kind to her, tben abe enjoyed mu- flto so much, and reading, and had she not the giftof writing verses ? Of tbis power it must be confessed she was not a little vain, and loved to give a copy of her odes on any trifiing occasion; but if this vanity were a tare among the wheat, it was such a harmless, pretty weed, and made eo gay the barren aoil of her life, tbat methinks the angel-reaper even would pass it lightly by. Inever knew a creature more capable of enjoyment than was thia child of adveraity, or oue more gifted with grateful temper, making the most ofthe faint¬ est bit of pleasure. Sweet Susan Woodville 1 would that all were aa happy in their prosper¬ ity aa thou weit in thy lowly lot I When I worked for Mrs. Dasbwood, the only Ume Misa WoodvUle and I had to be together was when the children had gone to bed ; and how keenly we enjoyed that time I Sometimes I wonld give her hinta on her wonderfal pro- JeoU formakhig up a new dr«BB,or for con. these little viaits of his." Mr. Frankland read tons the evening foUow¬ ing, and the next. When I again came to work at Mra. Dashwood's he entered the school¬ room with a hesitating manner. "Now, ladies," he said, "I know thia is your holiday lime, you mnat please deal frankly with me, and declare In plain terms whether mj preaence be irksome to you ? It woold deeply grieve me to deprive you of your leisure; or perhaps I am a check upon the diacassion of many feminine topica. If so, do not scrapie to tell me ; you know I am used to spend my eveniuga alone, so pray apeak as you feel." He had evidently strung his mind to say this much, in his formal quaint way, no doubt expecting that, if bia society were not agreea¬ ble to Mids Woodville, lhat kind tongue Of hers would frame Itself to tell him so. But I am sure lhat Sudan had honestly no dilemma of the kind. A more delicate one beset her woman's wit: how ahould abe manage not to appear too eager for his company ? So now Miss Woodville, who had never spoken before bnt from the Impnlse of her heart, got up a little acheme, and, turning the tables on Mr. Frankland, chained him with being weary of our company, aud ao contriving this excuse for not again boring himself with it. It waa wonderful how easy Mr. Frankland became a victim to so very palpable au intrigue. He was so nervously eager to disprove her words, that his anxiety flattered bim out of the power of uaing any of his long words and somewhat quaintly ceremonious phrases. He stammered out that Miss WoodviUe was utterly wrong in the conatraction she had put upon hia words, because the eveninga speut in ber company were, were—what tbey were he never said; but ob, the uufinisbed sentences are the pret¬ tiest tell-tales! Not to make mj story too minute, Sir. Frankland only left the room to seek a favor¬ ite bot/k to read to us. Aa fiooo as he was gone, Mies Woodville, looking terribly con. scioaa, but very happy, said, witb a sUiy Uttle congh, though trying to speak with great in¬ difference : "You know, Jane, we could not be so rude as to aay we did not wiah for hia company, aud you seem to enjoy his reading ao much." " Oh, yes, very much indeed," demurely re¬ plied I. Mr. Frankland retnraed with Thomson's "Seasous." How XQty odd, it was exactly tbe poetry one of hia audience loved the best I He read his favorite passages, aud then Susan remembered one very dear to ber, so, at his request, the book passed from hia hands to hers, and she read the lines witb a voice that trembled a Utile, but was not a whit less aweet for that, nor less aet off by tbe timid blush which painted her cheek when bnay in¬ stinct told ber (despite hrr down-caat eyes) that a tender gaze was reading the page ofher open, artless brow. Then he resumed the book. Did she remember the close of "Spring?" Did she ? She conld not be certain, .she had not read "Spring" very lately. Ah, Susan Woodville, shrewdly do I suspect that every word of a description so ineffably lovely, so enchanting to woman's yearning, timid beart, was engraven on thy memory I Should he read it to her f Oh, yes, certainly 1 He read with that grave sweetness whioh imparted so peculiar a charm to hia otherwise ordiuary person, and a? he read, that pretty bluah stole baok, aud, no Icnger flitting away, took up Ua station steadily on Susan's cbeek. The next day, Miss WoodvUle told me that Mr. Frankland, having disoovered throngh the children that she wrote poetry, had persuaded her to let him see some of her productions. It would be an unspeakable advantage to her, she thongbt, becanse he was so olever, and had promiaed to criticise every line with great se¬ verity. She had not thoaght it right to refuse his offer. He was coming to return her poems, and tell her aU the faults in them, " So ex pect to see me savagely mangled, Jane 1" add¬ ed she, with asmUe. WeU, Mr. Frankland waa tme to his appoint¬ ment, and tbey sat down to their taak, he armed with all oritical gravity, she ready to defend and explain. To do them jastice, some faults were pointed out, and some very gentle excuses given; but I listened vainly for *' aav¬ age mangling." Tbe tone of criticism rapidly relaxed, they begau to read together, to admire together, and the poetry, like all other thinga, became a delicious meeting place for thought* for fancy, for opinion. Women must certainly leara the language of love instinctively : how well did X compre¬ hend in Mias Woodville why her eye waa so dreamy ever and auon, as thechildren repeat¬ ed their lessona to her, the sndden flurried re¬ sumption of attention, her long aUencea as we aat together, or the deep aigh and the " Oh dear, but it is a atrange world, Jaue I" that hroke them. I waa amused at the surprising turns whioh would bring the conversation from the remoteat topics somehow to Qeorge Frank- land. " Jane," she aaid, Innocently, one day, " I think you are always talking of Mr. Frank- land I" Atiast my engagement with Mrs. Dash- wood ending I saw aud heard nothing pf Misa WoodviUe for some weeka. You will not wonder that I often pondered on the progreaa ofaffairs between her and Mr, Frankland, nor not that I rejoiced to receive a aummona lo North street.—I was cordially received by Mi-=B WoodvUle, hnt of ooarse had no time for con¬ versation tiU the evening, when Susan, com. ing and sitting down hy my side, unable aa' a oluld to keep to herself iwgau— " Oh, Jane,'! am so liappy 1 You cannot gueaa what has happened." "Perhapa I oan.^ Aw you invited to spend your hoUdaya wlth.yoar old pupils iu Com- v»ur ted tbem, outwardly, at least!' After awhile, he said be ahould esteem it a great favor if I would consent that we Bbould read tbe Bible together. For my very life I could not re¬ fase, Jane. Think of the happineaa of read¬ ing tbe Bible with^im. He asked to read it in alternate verses, as he used todo witb hia mother when a child, but never since. He had never wished to do so with any one, but this evening I reminded bim of his mother as she used to look on Sunday evenings in her white dress, and as he pictnred her an angel in heaven. Oh, Jane, I am ashamed to re¬ peat all this 1 I asked him which waa his mother's favorite psalm, whiob we read, and then mine. Between whUes he told me mnch ofhis mother; * Pardon me,' be said,' but she waa my boaom friend, the only onel have bad all my Ufe, until ,'he did not finisb his sentence, and we sat silent, yet we seemed better companions than when we were talking- At last he spoke, 'How bappy weare, Snsan 1 Oh, Jane what strange happiness, and yet what trouble, sprang np in my heart to hear him call me ' Susan ;' you kuow I have been ' Miss Woodville' to everyone all my Ufe, and he said it so tenderly. Yet I burat Into tears—did you ever hear of anything ao silly ? Mr. Frankland asked very gravely, 'Are you angry with me, Miss Woodville ?' I could not utter a single syllable, bat only cried the more. No wonder he soon roae, and went away. Then all waa worse than before, I cried twice as much to think how unkindly I had behaved. A whole fortnight pasaed away, and be never once came to aee me. Oh, bow sick I grew, evening after evening, listening for tbe f.iotsteps which never came I "Atiast Idetermined to try todo my duty and forget my hopes ; it waa bnt goiug back to where I was before. Ah, that weary going backl 1 took up the arithmetic book one evening when recollectious happened to be very troublesome, and set myself to prepare some suma, for they would require all my thoaghts. The door opened, I glanced np, there waa Mr. Frankland ! Jane, you never eaw that expression of hia, so grave and deter¬ mined. ' Misa Woodville, I must have some conversation witb you; will you listen to me?' My beart was in my throat, but I conquered my foolish tremors, and auswered, as bold as a Uon, that I was glad to see him. 'Ihave been a very nubappy man for the last fart- night, Mias WoodviUe; do you care to hrar wherefore?' These words, so low and grave, made me tremble like an aspen leaf. ' Yes, If you please,' was all the reply I could frame. * Do you remember tbat I called yoa Snsan ?' here Ais voice ahook, * Yoa appeared offend ed. I believed that, by grasping too much for a poor lame fellow like me, I had lost the friendship that made me so bappy. You wept, your gentle heart bled to give me pain, and I resolved I would never bring another tear Into tboae dear eyes, but compelled my¬ self to stay away from you. I baye borae many bitter trials,' be went on, in almoat a whisper, 'bat none so sharp as thisI At laati catching at a straw, it occurred to me, perhaps yoa were not angry, perhaps you would for¬ give me. Was I wrong ? Will yoa forgive ¦ I waa never angry,' but as I said the worda my face grew scariet, feeling what I had said. Then be came closer, and eaid in a tone ao soft, eo earnest, so troubled, 'But do you know I cannot atop here, I cannot call you Mias Woodville again ? Muat I go away, and never see you more?' My heart beat ao faat I could not apeak, Indeed I could not I ' Did I terrify yon ? doea it grieve you so much to bid me go? I will never pain you more.— God bleas you, Susan.' The nnspeakable sorrow in his voice made me hrave against everything. * Stay,' I whispered, 'caU me Suaan, caU me—.* I did not say your Susan, but he anderstood me, and be said -'oh, Jane I I can tell you no more, but you wUl beUeve now bow all trouble seems to bave gone from ua forever.' " I oonld, indeed. But my story has run such a length, that I must not linger any more on tbis humble, bappy conrtship. Mrs. Dasb¬ wood made no objection to tbe match, farther than eneering at the '' poor, romantio simple¬ tons." She, however, expressed her dialike at long engagements in her honae, and the lovera were not nnwUliug to hasten mattera. The marriage waa to take place In six weeks. Mr. Frankland had a small legacy laid by, which he took to buy furniture, though hia aunt prononnced it " too ludicrona 1" Miaa WoodviUe'a little savings prooured her ward¬ robe, the house linen, and a tea service. How she manaced to get so mnoh out of her sa¬ vings, I could never understand! Certainly ber trousieau (as ahe alwaya called it) was plainer than aome housemaid's and she had a happy art of convinoing herself that what¬ ever sbe had, she really Uked beat. Simplic¬ ity was 80 much more elegant than finery- Yet I Buspeoted, bad her meana been different she would bave liked whatwas pretty as well aa any Uttle bride, so I made her an elegant wedding bonnet, inatead of the much-lauded puritan atraw. The present waa received with sparkling eyea, and waa the sole marriage gift they had, I believe, save several sundry pin- casbions made by her Uttle pupils who loved her dearly. The Miss Daahwooda were really "very sorry "but theywere too poor, witb all their gayeties, to afford preaenta. I dreas¬ ed the bride ("and very sweet and pretty had she grown in my eyes) in her white muaUn dresa, and beaatifal bouquet of hothonae flowera given by Mr. Tom Daahwood, who bad taken some interest in the love affair of the " poor devils," aa he oalled them. Mr. Frankhmd has made ma promise to come the very first apare afternoon I ahonld have ftfter their marriage to drink tea £u her newhotife;. This was aituated Ina siuftU tow iu the luborW. X ^loakLhaTQ tmi upon U by tbe uewpaint, the freah ziitiBlin hiind and gerantamin the window,-had not the Uttle bride ran oat heraelf to welcome ~meV She waa all bright with blushes, and I aeemed. to have made her so happy by coming, tbat a sort of complacent feeliug stole over me, as if I had done something very kind fn coming to take my tea. With wbat pretty delight and vani¬ ty did ahe not show me over her houae, the air with whioh ahe styled tbe little front par¬ lor " the drawing-room," tbe tiuy lobby "the hall," and tbe Utte grass-plot and one flower¬ bed "onr garden." Remember, ahe never had had a home, and thia ordinary little house looked to hera palace 1 BUssfuI tears were in h<-r eyes as abe spode of her husband, how good, how kind, how olever he was. What an exquisite joy it was both to him and her to be really loved, and find themselves of oouse- qneuoe to a single liviug orealnre. Long before we had finiahed our conversa¬ tion, Mr. Frankland came home. He bad bs- come quite another person, eveu hia lameness aeemed lessened, he walked erect, his plain¬ tive SmUe was exchanged for one as bright as hia Uttle wife'a whom he bantered so fondly. Tea having been bronght in by the one ser' vant, Betay, we had a very aooiable meal, thongh theKiakes were of a most extraordina¬ ry kind, invented by Mra. Frankland, ont of dough, by the help of currants, and a shaping wine gls jS. Her hasband thonght they oame from the confectioner's—what could she do that was not beat f Ah happy Uttle bride, sharing the prerogative of royalty tbat oannot do wrong t After tea, Mr. Frankland ahowed me a preaent he aaid he had made himself, the manuscript of bis wife'a poetry prettily bonnd. Even the minnow-fry of poets have their van¬ ity, as oould be aeen in the Uttle woman's grat¬ ified smile. In her last sonnet, upon her new home, I, who was not in love, could not repress a smile at the epithets, " rnral shades," " rosy bowera," and " verdant meala," beatowed on the little pert brick house, tbe broken gronnd opposite, and the UtUe fiower court with its white-washed wall. Mr. Frankland, not liking perhaps to aeem deluded before a tblrd person, likewise demurred here a little. " Well, well!" be concluded, "itis well that a poor mon's wife should be an alchemist." Two happy years paaaed away, and then there came on this happy couple a promiae of the one only blessing wanting: Mrs. Frankland was aboat to become a mother. Her husband's happineas was, at first, alloyed by aome little care. Theirs was bat a narrow income, and bis manly protecting love chafed at the fear of privation for bia Sasan. But as Susan pres¬ ently cheeredaway every olond, it was impos¬ sible to he miserable about oue who waa so perfeotly contented herself. And tbeu came tbe prospeot of a possible addition to Mr. Franklaud's salary. It was but teu poands a year it must be confeaaed, bul bad yoa beard his wife talk of " the additiou toour Income " and " our excellent proapecta," you would have rated it at a hundred pounds or ao.— However, she was an exceUent manager, and every week sincethe marriage, b jsides a trifie for charity, had laid by what now amounted to a nice Uttle sum for the new expenaes. Only thoae who have had a narrow income can esti¬ mate the comfort of a aaving like this. Mra. Frankland expeoted ber confinement about Chriatmas, so I went to her in November to lend a hand to the work. Oar materials being poor, in apite of Suaan's stripping off every bit of laoe she possessed, we had plenty of scope for our ingenuity to give beauty to onr work by dint of scaUoptog, stitching aud satiu atitcbiug, and very proud were we of our cre¬ ations. I promised to keep houae wbile Suaan waa to be ill, ahe had sach confidence in my " ma¬ king George comfortable,'* and I was to be god molher. Mr. Frankland bad thought it proper, in case the child ahould bs a girl, to requeat Mrs. Dasbwood to be the other god¬ mother. The tone of the refnsal, moie tban the refusal itself, wounded Mrs. Frankland for her husband's sake. "George was Mr. Daah- wood'a own nephew, full as weU bora, and had behaved to him batter tban hia own sons."— Then, for the first time, she told me lhat Mrs. Dasbwood had never been to see her, and even her dear little pnpils had never been allowed to come. " I would not have done them auy harm," said she ; " surely I am not more vul¬ gar now,-than when with tbem all day." When our work was over, I bad an engage¬ ment before Chriatmas ata village some eigbt miles off, wbere lived two famiUea of my pa¬ trons. I was to be a fortnight away. The young ladies of the two famUit s were to go to their firfit ball, and much afraid were they I should never finiah in time. AW xny work, however, was completed to tbe last sUtch, be¬ fore even tbe eventful evening arrived, and, having no more to do, I sat down to reat my¬ aelf, and took np tbe paper with tbe curiosity one always bas wheu from home. I turned to the births, deatha and marriages; not a name I knew. Stop, tbere are a few more deaths over the page—what la thia ?—who is dead In Lamb atreet? "Oa Sunday,the 27th Inatant, in Lamb street, Suaan, the beloved wife of George Frankland, Esq.'l This must be some mistake ; aick and trembling I re-read the sen¬ tence: "Saaan, the beloved wife ''—those vain, fond worda to spell oat to tb«) world bow dear, how very dear, the being that is loat I— But, oh, it waa not my Saaan, my kind, heal¬ thy, happy Susau! No, It must be some oue weary and sick of tbe world that Death had taken to bia cold bed, not the sunny Sasan who had kissed me so warmly a fortnight ago. And this news was a week old.

" Oh, v^y God 1— conld she not have heen spared xne a Uttle longer ?" This was his first and last nngovera" ed emotion so far aa I oould witnesa.

What would become of him ? A lonely, de- Bpised man from bis birth, a Spring had sud¬ denly burst upon him, and, when be had poured fortb his soul in hymns of praise, sud¬ denly, all was taken from him! A youuuger, graver, prosperons man might receive and marry again, but poor, lame and dejected, who wonld love him now tbat Susan was gone ? I feared to see Mr. Frankland. As I returned to L •, every street, tbe inn-door where Susan bad stood watching me off, brougbt her and my sorrow to my mind. The street where we stopped was bnsy, crowd- ed, and steep, the eaat wind blew cuttingly npit. Cold and dreary, 1 felt keenly tbe being jostled by passengers, as I stood waiting for my box. Suddenly, I saw Jlr. Frankland toiling wearily np the steep slreet among the orowd. He seemed to walk lamer, and leant heavily upon hia atick against the buffeting of the wind. I shall not forget how plaintive his face looked througb all tbe sweetness of his expression. My first impulse was to re¬ treat; bow could be bear to see me, and here? But be had observed me. "Jane," lie said, and held out his hand. He looked me fnll iu the faoe. Uttei loneliness and patient aorrow filled tbat mute appeal witb nnspeakable pathos. Teara gnahed from my eyes: he wisbed nothing more than tears shed for love ofhis Sasan. At laat he said geutly, '*"We bave had a great loss t" "Oh, sir," cried I, pasaionately, "it ia too great to be told 1" "Yes, replied be, " I never looked for that!" How conld my grief he lotjaacioua, when his was so quiet ? I went to see bim as soon as I could. I stood on the step; the had first opened that door to me. Betsey let me in, and took me into the parlor. I motioned to her to sit down. We both began to cry. We sat thus crying some time, when the front door was opened with a latch key, and Mr. Frankland walked in, too suddenly for na to check oar tears. He looked from one to the other, ihere came a qalvering movement in hts featnrea, and he walked away as though to hMg up hlfl-hat. Presently he returned, and gave me s kind welcome; you see he was «nxioiu to gtMt me a» hiil Sofan wonid have _£\^ for nnpald moniclpal claims and taxes In Iba Cily of Lancaster. .Sec. 1.

yertiog an old one into quite ft oapital garment; Bometimes Bhe would alng hur pretty ballads to me, or we would read alond. One erening when we were indulging onrflelves witti the last-named pleasare, and Mias Woodville, who had&Bweetlj modnlated voice, was reading the " Vioar of Wakefield " to me, I happened to look np and perceived Mr. Frankland stand¬ ing in the doorway. Aa he canght my eye, he entered the room, with many apologies.
"I happened, ladies, to catoh a few words of my old friend, the Vicar, and I oonld not resist listening, as I thonght I shonld not dis¬ tnrb yon. However, as the disturbance has been mf de, pray let me join the admiring cir¬ cle ronnd my old friend. Am I intrnslre ?" added he, addressing Kiss Woodville, wfao with some embarrassment had half olosed her volame.
' Oh, no, sir!" she replied, fearing to have wonnded him, for she had often remarked with commiseration tlie lonely and despised position of the poor lame gentleman in the family; " oh no, sir, we shall gladly welcome any friend of good Dr. Primrose 1"
And tben she rose and placed him a chair, for she loved to play the hostess in her Uttle parlor. The reading recommenced, our rea¬ der soon resumed her animation, and so inter¬ ested were me, that I lingered an hour after the proper time of my departure.
"Well, Misa Woodville," said Mr. Frank- land, rising as I moved to leave, *' avery good story, bat a sad moral after all has Ooldsmith given US."
" A sad moral I" repeated we both, breath¬ lessly.
"No,no! aomething better. Bat I know yna can never gness onleae I give youa little bint I There Is a wedding in question. Yoa koow the parties."
" And the gentleman*a name ia Frankland, and the lady's Woodville f Am I wrong F"
"HowcorM yon gness so soon f bat It is trne, qnite trae ? Can yon wonder that I am 80 bappy, Jane?"
Her faoe was radiant witb blashes, and love and bappiness: who oould refase to re¬ joice with this little governess, hitherto all alone and neglected f Kot I. I begged herto tell me how the event came aboat.
" Well, tben, Jane, after yon left ns, I saw more and more of Mr. Franklaod, somehow we were conCinaally meeting, when something was said so interesting, that I thonght of it till we met again. I told myself I should never be fit to teach if thia nent on. Well, one Sunday—do not tbink me wery wicked I —thoughts and Dnxletles abont Mr, Frank, land kept tormenting me alt oharoh-time, so that I determined to stay at home in the eren- Ingj which the children were to spend with their grandmamma, whether reading to my¬ self would not bring me inlo a better frame of mind. So I went to the schoolroom, and soaght to persude myaelf that I shut ont the world as I closed the door; wheu who shoald come knocking at the door, but that very bit of the world that had done all the mischief."
" Mr. Frankland, is short," Interposed I. " Well Jane it was. He looked very awk¬ ward, and 80 did I. Indeed I was such a be¬ wildered goose, that I never asked him to walk in, till, looking very sad and grave, he

"Yet you listened with much interest fo this hackneyed end?" returned Miss Wood¬ ville, roguishly,

MR. FRAWKLAKL'S MARRIAGE.
I have pas.sed mj lifo as a dressmaker go¬ ing about amoug souje of the best families in L . Oue of my moat constant employ¬ ers was a Mrs. Dash ^ ood, a worldly and fash¬ iouable woman with a large family.
Among her many sons aud dauebters, though apparently not o/tbem, was a ynuuij man o^ far ditfert-ut t-haiacler. This young gentle¬ man's mother (si:;t«r to Mr. Dasbwood) had married uufortuuateiy, lost htr husband the first year of her marriage, and, dying herself ten years after, left ber ouly child, a penniless orphan, to her brother's charge, who had not entirely neglected the tmst. But, at the out¬ set of Ufe, poor young Frankland bad been attacked witb a long illness, which thongh yielding to medical treatment, saddled him for life with a perceptible lameness, and a something peculiar and quaint iu his manner. Hia coasins called him " poor George." Poor George was glad to be content with a clerkship in a good olfice at the humble salary of one hnndred and fifly pounds a year, with which he paid his aunt for his board, and put by some¬ thing for charity. He was of a lower and slighter mako than bis fashiouable cousins, and, by tbe side of theirs, his clothes looked but old fashioned ; nevertheless his face could not be seeu withonl exciliug interest. Sad to plainiiveness as it was, there was an espres- eion of manly endurance npon his countenance which redeemed it from all morbidness, and there was no mistaking the refinement aud kindne-=s of his heart. The servants all Uked him, and he never met rae on the stairs, or anywhere, without some courteous remark. I used to notice, too, what a pleaaant way he bad with the children during his frequent vis¬ its to the schoolroom, caUing forth their in' telligence wilh unaffected simplicity, or check¬ ing their passions with a certain quiet wisdom peculiarly his own. The schoolroom was always appropriated for me and my work; I suppose in rei:ollecUon ofihe time, not so long ago, when I bad seen better days.
It was an agreeable surprise to me to find, on returning to Mrs. Dasbwood, after their usual summer absence, that lbe former super¬ cilious governess was gone, and a new yonng lady in ber place, wLo greeted me with a pleasant smile, set a chair for me, and cleared a space for my work at the other eud of the table uext the fire. Tbis young lady waa not pretty, bat she was a fresh, sweet-tempered looking creature, with clear, loviug evea, and the brightest smile I evei saw. It was a pleas¬ ure to hear her cheerful voice with the child¬ ren. After thechildreu'a tea, Miss WoodvIUe, that waa the new governess' name, had to aee that her chaige w^-re nicely dressed to appear at dessert down stair.':, then delivering tbem over Into the hands of the nurse, her day's work was at length over, and she sat down to enjoy herself. I cume back to the schoolroom from SQperintendiug the smoothing ot soma trimmings, and found her with a book in her haud. This she laid aside at onco on my ap¬ pearance, and taking out her work, evidently set herself to be .sociable, and do the honors of her Uttle kingdom. Sbe won mybeart at once by speaking of my mother. Her auntj ehe sail bad often mentioned her with great respect, and she insinuated, wilh the most delicate tact in the world, tbal ah » knew how different was my original rauk from that which I now held. Tben we talked abont the child¬ ren, concerning whom and their characters she had theories witbout tnd. Nest tbe conver¬ sation tnrned to books, aud ahe told me the tale of the nove! she was reading in such a pretty way tbat it was as good as reading the book itself. I waa engaged to work for Mrs. Dasbwood the whoie of tbis week, and, at the end of that time a real friendship had sprung up between myself and Miss WoodvUle. Womeu see throagh each other so clearly, that they can scarcely be in tbe same house for any lengtb of time without a downright like or dislike.
Miss Woodville was a poor orphan, destined from her cradle to be a governess. When I become acquainted with her, she had been teachiug ten years, baviug beguu at the early age of sixteen. Sbe had no expectations of any happier lot, but was content, with ipstino- tive love, to tmat her fntnre to her God.— Her pride did not revolt at the ideaof serving. She had known mach adversity, but she did not think sbe deserved a bri .¦hter Jot. People were often kind to her, tben abe enjoyed mu- flto so much, and reading, and had she not the giftof writing verses ? Of tbis power it must be confessed she was not a little vain, and loved to give a copy of her odes on any trifiing occasion; but if this vanity were a tare among the wheat, it was such a harmless, pretty weed, and made eo gay the barren aoil of her life, tbat methinks the angel-reaper even would pass it lightly by. Inever knew a creature more capable of enjoyment than was thia child of adveraity, or oue more gifted with grateful temper, making the most ofthe faint¬ est bit of pleasure. Sweet Susan Woodville 1 would that all were aa happy in their prosper¬ ity aa thou weit in thy lowly lot I
When I worked for Mrs. Dasbwood, the only Ume Misa WoodvUle and I had to be together was when the children had gone to bed ; and how keenly we enjoyed that time I Sometimes I wonld give her hinta on her wonderfal pro- JeoU formakhig up a new dr«BB,or for con.
these little viaits of his."
Mr. Frankland read tons the evening foUow¬ ing, and the next. When I again came to work at Mra. Dashwood's he entered the school¬ room with a hesitating manner.
"Now, ladies," he said, "I know thia is your holiday lime, you mnat please deal frankly with me, and declare In plain terms whether mj preaence be irksome to you ? It woold deeply grieve me to deprive you of your leisure; or perhaps I am a check upon the diacassion of many feminine topica. If so, do not scrapie to tell me ; you know I am used to spend my eveniuga alone, so pray apeak as you feel."
He had evidently strung his mind to say this much, in his formal quaint way, no doubt expecting that, if bia society were not agreea¬ ble to Mids Woodville, lhat kind tongue Of hers would frame Itself to tell him so. But I am sure lhat Sudan had honestly no dilemma of the kind. A more delicate one beset her woman's wit: how ahould abe manage not to appear too eager for his company ? So now Miss Woodville, who had never spoken before bnt from the Impnlse of her heart, got up a little acheme, and, turning the tables on Mr. Frankland, chained him with being weary of our company, aud ao contriving this excuse for not again boring himself with it. It waa wonderful how easy Mr. Frankland became a victim to so very palpable au intrigue. He was so nervously eager to disprove her words, that his anxiety flattered bim out of the power of uaing any of his long words and somewhat quaintly ceremonious phrases. He stammered out that Miss WoodviUe was utterly wrong in the conatraction she had put upon hia words, because the eveninga speut in ber company were, were—what tbey were he never said; but ob, the uufinisbed sentences are the pret¬ tiest tell-tales!
Not to make mj story too minute, Sir. Frankland only left the room to seek a favor¬ ite bot/k to read to us. Aa fiooo as he was gone, Mies Woodville, looking terribly con. scioaa, but very happy, said, witb a sUiy Uttle congh, though trying to speak with great in¬ difference :
"You know, Jane, we could not be so rude as to aay we did not wiah for hia company, aud you seem to enjoy his reading ao much." " Oh, yes, very much indeed," demurely re¬ plied I.
Mr. Frankland retnraed with Thomson's "Seasous." How XQty odd, it was exactly tbe poetry one of hia audience loved the best I He read his favorite passages, aud then Susan remembered one very dear to ber, so, at his request, the book passed from hia hands to hers, and she read the lines witb a voice that trembled a Utile, but was not a whit less aweet for that, nor less aet off by tbe timid blush which painted her cheek when bnay in¬ stinct told ber (despite hrr down-caat eyes) that a tender gaze was reading the page ofher open, artless brow. Then he resumed the book. Did she remember the close of "Spring?" Did she ? She conld not be certain, .she had not read "Spring" very lately. Ah, Susan Woodville, shrewdly do I suspect that every word of a description so ineffably lovely, so enchanting to woman's yearning, timid beart, was engraven on thy memory I Should he read it to her f Oh, yes, certainly 1 He read with that grave sweetness whioh imparted so peculiar a charm to hia otherwise ordiuary person, and a? he read, that pretty bluah stole baok, aud, no Icnger flitting away, took up Ua station steadily on Susan's cbeek.
The next day, Miss WoodvUle told me that Mr. Frankland, having disoovered throngh the children that she wrote poetry, had persuaded
her to let him see some of her productions.
It would be an unspeakable advantage to her, she thongbt, becanse he was so olever, and had promiaed to criticise every line with great se¬ verity. She had not thoaght it right to refuse his offer. He was coming to return her poems, and tell her aU the faults in them, " So ex pect to see me savagely mangled, Jane 1" add¬ ed she, with asmUe.
WeU, Mr. Frankland waa tme to his appoint¬ ment, and tbey sat down to their taak, he armed with all oritical gravity, she ready to defend and explain. To do them jastice, some faults were pointed out, and some very gentle excuses given; but I listened vainly for *' aav¬ age mangling." Tbe tone of criticism rapidly relaxed, they begau to read together, to admire together, and the poetry, like all other thinga, became a delicious meeting place for thought* for fancy, for opinion.
Women must certainly leara the language of love instinctively : how well did X compre¬ hend in Mias Woodville why her eye waa so dreamy ever and auon, as thechildren repeat¬ ed their lessona to her, the sndden flurried re¬ sumption of attention, her long aUencea as we aat together, or the deep aigh and the " Oh dear, but it is a atrange world, Jaue I" that hroke them. I waa amused at the surprising turns whioh would bring the conversation from the remoteat topics somehow to Qeorge Frank- land. " Jane," she aaid, Innocently, one day, " I think you are always talking of Mr. Frank- land I"
Atiast my engagement with Mrs. Dash- wood ending I saw aud heard nothing pf Misa WoodviUe for some weeka. You will not wonder that I often pondered on the progreaa ofaffairs between her and Mr, Frankland, nor not that I rejoiced to receive a aummona lo North street.—I was cordially received by Mi-=B WoodvUle, hnt of ooarse had no time for con¬ versation tiU the evening, when Susan, com. ing and sitting down hy my side, unable aa' a oluld to keep to herself iwgau—

Think of the happineaa of read¬ ing tbe Bible with^im. He asked to read it in alternate verses, as he used todo witb hia mother when a child, but never since. He had never wished to do so with any one, but this evening I reminded bim of his mother as she used to look on Sunday evenings in her white dress, and as he pictnred her an angel in heaven. Oh, Jane, I am ashamed to re¬ peat all this 1 I asked him which waa his mother's favorite psalm, whiob we read, and then mine. Between whUes he told me mnch ofhis mother; * Pardon me,' be said,' but she waa my boaom friend, the only onel have

Yet I burat Into tears—did you ever hear of anything ao silly ? Mr. Frankland asked very gravely, 'Are you angry with me, Miss Woodville ?' I could not utter a single syllable, bat only cried the more. No wonder he soon roae, and went away. Then all waa worse than before, I cried twice as much to think how unkindly I had behaved. A whole fortnight pasaed away, and be never once came to aee me. Oh, bow sick I grew, evening after evening, listening for tbe f.iotsteps which never came I

Ah, that weary going backl 1 took up the arithmetic book one evening when recollectious happened to be very troublesome, and set myself to prepare some suma, for they would require all my thoaghts. The door opened, I glanced np, there waa Mr. Frankland ! Jane, you never eaw that expression of hia, so grave and deter¬ mined. ' Misa Woodville, I must have some conversation witb you; will you listen to me?' My beart was in my throat, but I conquered my foolish tremors, and auswered, as bold as a Uon, that I was glad to see him. 'Ihave been a very nubappy man for the last fart- night, Mias WoodviUe; do you care to hrar wherefore?' These words, so low and grave, made me tremble like an aspen leaf. ' Yes, If you please,' was all the reply I could frame. * Do you remember tbat I called yoa Snsan ?' here Ais voice ahook, * Yoa appeared offend ed. I believed that, by grasping too much for a poor lame fellow like me, I had lost the friendship that made me so bappy. You wept, your gentle heart bled to give me pain, and I resolved I would never bring another tear Into tboae dear eyes, but compelled my¬ self to stay away from you.

Was I wrong ? Will yoa forgive ¦ I waa never angry,' but as I said the
worda my face grew scariet, feeling what I had said. Then be came closer, and eaid in a tone ao soft, eo earnest, so troubled, 'But do you know I cannot atop here, I cannot call you Mias Woodville again ? Muat I go away, and never see you more?' My heart beat ao

' Did I terrify yon ? doea it grieve you so much to bid me go? I will never pain you more.— God bleas you, Susan.' The nnspeakable sorrow in his voice made me hrave against everything. * Stay,' I whispered, 'caU me Suaan, caU me—.* I did not say your Susan,
but he anderstood me, and be said -'oh,

I oonld, indeed. But my story has run such a length, that I must not linger any more on tbis humble, bappy conrtship. Mrs. Dasb¬ wood made no objection to tbe match, farther than eneering at the '' poor, romantio simple¬ tons." She, however, expressed her dialike at long engagements in her honae, and the lovera were not nnwUliug to hasten mattera. The marriage waa to take place In six weeks. Mr. Frankland had a small legacy laid by, which he took to buy furniture, though hia aunt prononnced it " too ludicrona 1" Miaa WoodviUe'a little savings prooured her ward¬ robe, the house linen, and a tea service. How she manaced to get so mnoh out of her sa¬ vings, I could never understand! Certainly ber trousieau (as ahe alwaya called it) was plainer than aome housemaid's and she had a happy art of convinoing herself that what¬ ever sbe had, she really Uked beat. Simplic¬ ity was 80 much more elegant than finery- Yet I Buspeoted, bad her meana been different she would bave liked whatwas pretty as well aa any Uttle bride, so I made her an elegant wedding bonnet, inatead of the much-lauded puritan atraw. The present waa received with sparkling eyea, and waa the sole marriage gift they had, I believe, save several sundry pin- casbions made by her Uttle pupils who loved her dearly. The Miss Daahwooda were really "very sorry "but theywere too poor, witb all their gayeties, to afford preaenta. I dreas¬ ed the bride ("and very sweet and pretty had she grown in my eyes) in her white muaUn dresa, and beaatifal bouquet of hothonae flowera given by Mr. Tom Daahwood, who bad taken some interest in the love affair of the " poor devils," aa he oalled them.
Mr. Frankhmd has made ma promise to come the very first apare afternoon I ahonld have ftfter their marriage to drink tea £u her newhotife;. This was aituated Ina siuftU tow iu the luborW. X ^loakLhaTQ tmi upon U
by tbe uewpaint, the freah ziitiBlin hiind and gerantamin the window,-had not the Uttle bride ran oat heraelf to welcome ~meV She waa all bright with blushes, and I aeemed. to have made her so happy by coming, tbat a sort of complacent feeliug stole over me, as if I had done something very kind fn coming to take my tea. With wbat pretty delight and vani¬ ty did ahe not show me over her houae, the air with whioh ahe styled tbe little front par¬ lor " the drawing-room," tbe tiuy lobby "the hall," and tbe Utte grass-plot and one flower¬ bed "onr garden." Remember, ahe never had had a home, and thia ordinary little house looked to hera palace 1 BUssfuI tears were in h<-r eyes as abe spode of her husband, how good, how kind, how olever he was. What an exquisite joy it was both to him and her to be really loved, and find themselves of oouse- qneuoe to a single liviug orealnre.
Long before we had finiahed our conversa¬ tion, Mr. Frankland came home. He bad bs- come quite another person, eveu hia lameness aeemed lessened, he walked erect, his plain¬ tive SmUe was exchanged for one as bright as hia Uttle wife'a whom he bantered so fondly. Tea having been bronght in by the one ser' vant, Betay, we had a very aooiable meal, thongh theKiakes were of a most extraordina¬ ry kind, invented by Mra. Frankland, ont of dough, by the help of currants, and a shaping wine gls jS. Her hasband thonght they oame from the confectioner's—what could she do that was not beat f Ah happy Uttle bride, sharing the prerogative of royalty tbat oannot do wrong t After tea, Mr. Frankland ahowed me a preaent he aaid he had made himself, the manuscript of bis wife'a poetry prettily bonnd. Even the minnow-fry of poets have their van¬ ity, as oould be aeen in the Uttle woman's grat¬ ified smile. In her last sonnet, upon her new home, I, who was not in love, could not repress a smile at the epithets, " rnral shades," " rosy bowera," and " verdant meala," beatowed on the little pert brick house, tbe broken gronnd opposite, and the UtUe fiower court with its white-washed wall. Mr. Frankland, not liking perhaps to aeem deluded before a tblrd person, likewise demurred here a little. " Well, well!" be concluded, "itis well that a poor mon's wife should be an alchemist."
Two happy years paaaed away, and then there came on this happy couple a promiae of the one only blessing wanting: Mrs. Frankland was aboat to become a mother. Her husband's happineas was, at first, alloyed by aome little care. Theirs was bat a narrow income, and bis manly protecting love chafed at the fear of privation for bia Sasan. But as Susan pres¬ ently cheeredaway every olond, it was impos¬ sible to he miserable about oue who waa so perfeotly contented herself. And tbeu came tbe prospeot of a possible addition to Mr. Franklaud's salary. It was but teu poands a year it must be confeaaed, bul bad yoa beard his wife talk of " the additiou toour Income " and " our excellent proapecta," you would have rated it at a hundred pounds or ao.— However, she was an exceUent manager, and every week sincethe marriage, b jsides a trifie for charity, had laid by what now amounted to a nice Uttle sum for the new expenaes. Only thoae who have had a narrow income can esti¬ mate the comfort of a aaving like this. Mra. Frankland expeoted ber confinement about Chriatmas, so I went to her in November to lend a hand to the work. Oar materials being poor, in apite of Suaan's stripping off every bit of laoe she possessed, we had plenty of scope for our ingenuity to give beauty to onr work by dint of scaUoptog, stitching aud satiu atitcbiug, and very proud were we of our cre¬ ations.
I promised to keep houae wbile Suaan waa to be ill, ahe had sach confidence in my " ma¬ king George comfortable,'* and I was to be god molher. Mr. Frankland bad thought it proper, in case the child ahould bs a girl, to requeat Mrs. Dasbwood to be the other god¬ mother. The tone of the refnsal, moie tban the refusal itself, wounded Mrs. Frankland for her husband's sake. "George was Mr. Daah- wood'a own nephew, full as weU bora, and had behaved to him batter tban hia own sons."— Then, for the first time, she told me lhat Mrs. Dasbwood had never been to see her, and even her dear little pnpils had never been allowed to come. " I would not have done them auy harm," said she ; " surely I am not more vul¬ gar now,-than when with tbem all day."
When our work was over, I bad an engage¬ ment before Chriatmas ata village some eigbt miles off, wbere lived two famiUea of my pa¬ trons. I was to be a fortnight away. The young ladies of the two famUit s were to go to their firfit ball, and much afraid were they I should never finiah in time. AW xny work, however, was completed to tbe last sUtch, be¬ fore even tbe eventful evening arrived, and, having no more to do, I sat down to reat my¬ aelf, and took np tbe paper with tbe curiosity one always bas wheu from home. I turned to the births, deatha and marriages; not a name I knew. Stop, tbere are a few more deaths over the page—what la thia ?—who is dead In Lamb atreet? "Oa Sunday,the 27th Inatant, in Lamb street, Suaan, the beloved wife of George Frankland, Esq.'l This must be some mistake ; aick and trembling I re-read the sen¬ tence: "Saaan, the beloved wife ''—those vain, fond worda to spell oat to tb«) world bow dear, how very dear, the being that is loat I— But, oh, it waa not my Saaan, my kind, heal¬ thy, happy Susau! No, It must be some oue weary and sick of tbe world that Death had taken to bia cold bed, not the sunny Sasan who had kissed me so warmly a fortnight ago. And this news was a week old. Bat tbere it waa, "Susan, the beloved wife of George Frankland, Esq." She was dead ! Susan was dead 1 I shonld never see her any more I No, never any more I—that kept ringing in my

Thlnfclngitmydnty to divert his thonghts I began to talk on various matters- He an¬ swered me kindly, bnt Isawthathis tbonghts were elaewhere. Hiseyes were fixed onthe vacant place, more intent on sammonlng baok the shade of his Sasan th&n anytbing this world could afford. .. --\'.^.
At last;b^ said, abmptly,'" HoV itretty she ased to look, Jane, pouring out the tea.'*
" Ah, yes, sir I she used to sit just here."
" No," he replied, pointing to a spot a few ioohes lower down, It was just here, that she might aee the treea in Mr. Jones' garden; tben suddenly breaking down. " Oh, v^y God 1— conld she not have heen spared xne a Uttle longer ?" This was his first and last nngovera" ed emotion so far aa I oould witnesa.
After this erening X often went to see Mr. Frankland, and hia Snsan was ever ourfavorite theme. In time fae beoame a wealthy maui his talenta gaining him a partnership. Bat he never left the humble booae in Lamb street, or married, tboagh I have credibly heard that more tbau one haudsome lady had hinted he would not be repulaed. No one wbo had been kind to his Susan did he ever forget, not even the couain who had given her the wedding boaquet. After an honored Ufe, he alept at last in hnr grave. I have often thought of the glad meeting awaiting that oonatant heart in another world I
