Weare daily receiving and ———— for exhibition from the north, our al g plans that young brain was forming, he would have had reason to change his quickly formed opinion, The solemn silence of the room was broken by the fussy little lawyer, who, having broken the seals of the oaken cabinet, and taken the important will therefrom, adjusted his specta- cles and began to read. To Sarah it was like a message from thedead. The mind that had framed and the hand that had executed were gone—whither? She listened, liko one in a dream, to the enumeration of the houses, bank stock, ete , owned by the deceased, till tho sound of her own name made her start and look up suddenly. No—she was not mistaken. The lawyer was reading in his dry, business- like voice— “And I give and devise to my dear niece, Sarah Stanton Percival, the sum of five hun- dred dollars, as a slight token of the interest I have always taken in my dead brother's child. * That was all she heard. Some dry business technicalities followed, with which she had no concern Butleaning her head upon herhands, she fed her bungry soul upon those few words of affection, the first she had heard addressed to her since her father died. She was roused from her pleasant reverie b: the cold voice of her aunt, who stood beside her; and looking up, she saw that the reading ef the will was over, and that the party had broken up and were standing near the fire. ‘Well, Miss Percival, 1 congratulate you with all my heart,’’ said the widow, tapping her lightly upon the shoulder with her plumed fan. ‘+ Through the kindness of your uncle, you will be spared that disagreeable appren ticeship we wore speaking of Ltrust you are sincerely grateful.’” * IT trust £ am,’’ said Sarah in a low voice. But she could not speak the thanks she felt, to the portly figure in black, who could-well af- ford to spare the paltry sum of five hundred dollars from ber thousands, and who felt rather glad in her heart that the bequest had been made, since it would sound so well when Dr. Warton and the lawyer spoke of it, a8 they would be sure to do. So the girl was si- lent, and her aunt called her, mentally, ex- tremely ungrateful. It eeemed to be fated that these two women should never understand each other, even in the slightest action of their lives. Dr Warton now bustled up, and took both of Sarah's hands in his warm grasp. “T give you joy, yous lady, I give you joy!” he exclaimed. “ Why, you are quite INTERNATIONAU HOTEL, WASHINGTON CITY.

And thusit was'that the dreams of} can be at oil typ. stores Sarah Percival on the first night of her city life were haunted by a vision of a graceful figure, with curls of fair hair, clinging to the mast of a sinking vessel—and thus that Ross Neville, captain of the good ship “ Snow Squail,’’ wondered a little now and then, as he walked towards his hotel, if ever in his life he should meet the young girl he befriend | ed, again T ‘he home, under the shelter of whose roof these first dreams of Sarah Percival were dreamed, was a bumble one enough. It was & small wooden tenement, on a narrow and dirty street, owned and inbabited by a cleanly old Scotch woman, who had been a servant in the house of Mr. Richard Percival’s father, in her younger days. She was greatly rejoiced atthe young girl’s unexpected advent, and and bustled around to make her guest com- fortable talking all the while of Mr. Richard and Mr. Frank, in a way that brought tears to her listeners’s eyes. It seemed so strange to hear this woman, tottering on the vei of the grave, relating little anecdotes of the boyish days of the two brothers who had gone before her; and Sarah’s heart warmed tow- ards her as she told how brave, and gener- ona impulsive her own father was in his youth. “« Mr. Richard was more quiet and cautiour, and Mr. Frank forever in disgrace,’’ said the old lady, warmly ; “ but for all that, he had a smile that would do your heart good, and a way with him that would charm a bird from a tree’ ‘Mrs. Bryce, do I look like my father?” asked Sarah, suddenly. The good Woman turned and looked at her quietiy with her clear, gray eyes. “Na, na,” she said, shaking her head and flavoring her speech with a strong reminis cense of her native dialect, ‘* ye have a blink of your ee, like him, but your faee is like your mither’s, my bairn.”” ‘Did yoa know my mother? asked Sarah, eagerly. Mrs Bryce’s face grew serious. « Ycs, [ knew her. She wes a grand lady °° “English, was she not?’ “Onthe mother’s side she was, but by the father she came of as good Scoth blood as ever crossed the border.’ “Mrs. Bryce,’ said Sarah, thoughtfally, “do you think my mother ever loved my father? Mrs Percival told me she did not; but then she never sawher. You knew her well; now tell me what you think about it ’’ The face of the Scotch woman flushed viv- idly. OMe, Percival! What could she tell you””’ she exclaimed, angrily. ‘*And yot, what could she not! Bairn, there is more evil in this world than you have ever dreamed of. Little that woman would have dreamed of sending you to me, if she had known what | know.”” “ Tell me.”” “ Promise mo first that you will not speak of it to her till the time comes. I will tell you then.”” R “Yes, I promise,”’ said Sarah, impatiently; “and I am never going to her again, 80 itcan made little difference *’ ‘Well, my bairn, that women loved your father once. He never knew it—noone knew it but a confidential servant of hers, who was privy to the plot. But Mr. Frank nevereared for her Ani when he went to Europe she married Mr. Richard out of pure vexation When the news came of Mr. Frank's marriage, she was in a dreadful way Your mother, my bairn was ofa high family, and a wealthy one. They were all angry when sbe married your father; but when she left him all was forgiven The matter was hushed up, and after his death she married again.” * She did not love him then?’’ seid Sarah sadly. She had been accustomed to invest this unseen mother with every possible perfec tion. And to be told that she was cold, and false, and heartless, was a bitter sting “ Love !’? said the Ssotchwoman with a bit- teremphasis ‘‘My bairn it was more than love—it was idolatry, and sinful I suppose He was ten yea®® younger than she, bat no one would have dreamed it to have seen them together. I saw them three or four times in Paris and once in London. It was before you were born, you know.’ * Yes; but if she loved him so, how could she leave him? If she loved him, how could she give meup? I was batalittle child—so little as only to have a faint memory of her— when ske went away.’” ‘My bairn, there are some wrongs that will make a proud woman turn against the in- nocent child she has borne,’’ said the old wo- man, solemnly. “I wondered greatly at it myself, but 1 cannot now. r. Richard’s wife, or rather Janet, her confidential ser- vant, played her part well. She was a iall, lady-Irko girl, well furnished with money and fine clothes. She began by sending anony- mous letters to Mrs. Frank, who would not show them toher husband. If she bad done that, all might have been well. But she only brooded over them; and when Janet came to see her with a little babe in her arms, and told her it was Ais bairn, it wasenough All the love she had felt for him seemed changed to hate. She left you both with a bitter vow that she would never see you again. And so she has kept, and Mrs. Richard’s plan has succeeded.’’ Sarah listened in silence to this strange story. “But how did you know all this, Mrs. Bryce ?’’ she asked, after a moment's pause. “T was on the continent with a lady, and w your father and mother; and more than all that, I knew Janet. She died in my arms a@ year ago, and told me aill.’’ ** You were a friend of hers. then?’’ The features of the Scotchwoman worked of honest grief— .
