An English Tale. I do not think there could be found in the three kingdoms a blither old maid than Miss Mellicent Orme, otherwise Aunt Milly, for so she was universally called by her nephews and neices, first, second and third cousins—nay, even by many who could not boast ‘of the smallest tie of consanguinity. But this sort of universal aunthood to the whole neighborhood, was by no means disagreeable to Miss Milty, for in » very little body she had a large heart, of an almost India rubber nature; not indeed as the simile used in speaking of female hearts that never break—but alway retch. But Miss Milly's heart possessed this elastic nature in its best sense—namely, that it ever found reom for new occupants, and moreover, it was rewarkable for its quality of effacing all un- kindness or inyuries as easily as rubber removes pencil marks from paper. Aunt Milly—I have some right to cali her sv, being her own nephew, Godtrey Eastport— was au extremely little woman. She had pret- ty little features, pretty little hands and feet, * pretty little figure, and always carried a pretty little work bag, in whose mysterious recesses ali the children in the neighborhvod loved to dive, seldom returning to the surface without somo pearl of price, in the shape of a lozenge or a sugar plum. Her dress was al- ways neat, rather old-fashioned perhaps, bat invariably becoming; her soft brown hair—it really was brown still—lay smoothly braided under a tiny cap; her white collar was ever snowy; indeed, Aunt Milly’s whole attire seemed to have the amazing quality of never looking worn, soiled, or dusty, but always fresh and new. Yet she was fay from rich, as every one knew; but her little income was just enough to suffice for her little self. She lived in a nutshell of a house, with the smallest of small handmaidens; indeed everything about Aunt Milly was on the diminutive seale. She did not abide wuch at home, for she was every- where in request—at weddings, christening:, ac. And to her credit be it spoken, Aunt Milly did not turn her feet from the house of mourning. She could weep with those that wept, yet somehow or other she contrived to infuse hope amidst despair. And general, her blithe naturo converted all ‘8 minor evils into things rot worth lamenting abou‘. very one felt that Aunt Milly’s entrance into their doors brought sunshine. She was a sun- beam in hervelf; there was cheerfalness in her light step, ber merry laugh; the jingling of the keys in her pocket, dear little soul’ was musical. She had a word of encouragement for all, and an inclination-to look at the sunpy side of everything. No one was more welcome i irthful days, no one more sought for in ad- > for she had the quality of making the heaviest trouble seem lighter, and her unf: ins motto was, ‘All things happen for the est”? All my schoolboy disasters were deposited in Aunt Milly's sympathizing ear; and when I (shape up I still kept the old habit. I came to er one day with what I considered my first real socrow, it was the loss, by the sudden failure of a country bank, of nearly all the few hundreds my poor father had laid up for me. My sad news had traveled before me, and I was not surprised to see Aunt Milly’s cheerful face really grave as she met me with, = mt dear boy. I am very sorry for you.”’ “It was the greatest misfortune I could Leried, “I wish that wretched Shar- At last a third or fourth cousin—a widower of a large fortune—invited Miss Miily {p re- side at his house, as a ehaperon to his two daughters, young gi growing into woman- hood.

Still neither despondency or fear troubled her blithe spirit, as little Miss Milly set out with her valorous nephew ; for Thad pleaded so ear- nestly my right to be her squire to Mr. E'phin- rl door, that the concession was yielded at ast. Of all the gloomy old avenues that ever led to baronial bail, the one we passed through was the gloomiest. It might have been pretty in May, but ona wet day in October it was most melancholy. Poor Aunt Milly shivered as the wind rustling in the dead Icaves fell in clouds upon the top of the post chaise. We alighted and entered a hail equally Iugubri- ous, and not much warmer than the avenue. The solemn old porter was warming his chilled hands at the tiny fire ; he and the house are in |e keeping—dreary. duil and melancholy. he master was much in tie same style; a tall, black figure, with a long face and a white neck. cloth. was the personified idea left behind by Mr. Elphinstone. When he was gone, I ear nestly entreated Aunt Milly to return with me, _ _ stay in this desolate place; but she re- used. ~My cousin seemed kind,’’ she said; “ho looked aud spoko as though he were glad to soe me.”’ (I was too cold to hear or sce much, certainly, but [declare I did not notice this friendly reception.) “ My dear Godfrey,” Aunt Milly continued, “ [ will stay, and try to make a home here, tho two girls may be amiable, and I shall soon love them; at ail events, letus hope fur the best.” My hopes for poor Aunt Milly vanished into thin air when, at tho frigid dinner table, where the very eatables seemed mado of stone, I saw two young ladies of fifteen or thereabouts—one, the wildest and rudest hoyden that ever dis. graced feminine habiliments; the other, a pale, Scoping girl, with sleepy blue eyes and fair hair, who never uttered a word, npr once lificd her cyes from the table cloth. * What will become of poor Aunt Milly?” I thought internally. Yet there she was, as cheerful as ever, talking to that solemn icicle. Mr. Elphinstone; listening patiently to ths lava- hood of Miss Louisa’s tongue, and now and then Speaking to Miss Euphemia, whose only answer was a nod of the head, or a stare from her im- mense blue eyes. ** Well,” I mentally ejacu- lated, “Aunt Milly’s talent for making the best of everything will be called into full requisition here, I suspect.’ Nevertheless, when we part- ed, she assured me sho was quite content, and would no doubt be very comfortable at the Hall. ~ But those dreadful girls, how will you man: age them, Aunt Milly?” And a faint vision of the tall, stout Louisa going inte a passion, and knocking my poor little aunt off her chair, c1me across ny mind’s eye. * Poor things, they have no mother to teach them better. I am sorry for them! I was a motherless child myself,”’ said Aunt Kitty. softly. “They will improvo by and by, depend upon it, Godtrey; all will turn out well, both for you and me.” * Amen,” said I, in my heart; for I thought of my own Laura. How different she was from the Misses Elphinstone! And the image of m: beloved eclipeed that of delicate Aunt Milly, 5 fear, before I had traveled many miles from the Hall. Aunt Milly’s epistles were not very frequent; for like many excellent people, she disliked lotter writing, and only indulged hor very par- ticular friends with a few lines now and then, in which she tully acted up to the golden rule “Tf you bave anything to say, say it; if noth- ing—why say it, too."” Thus my information a4 to how matters were going on at Elphinstone Iiall, was of a very slender nature.

My dear hee the world must be a horrid place, indeed. fur you to grow tired of it so soon. I would advice you to wait a little longer before you get so desperate.’ “ Aunt Milly,” [ said, turning away, “it is easy for you to talk—you were never in love.” A shadow passed over her bright face, but Aunt Milly did not answer my allusion ~ Ido not think any boy of nineteen is doomed to be « victim of loss of fortune or hopeless love,” she said aftera pause. ‘“ My dear (iod- frey, this will be a trial to your Lau con- Staucy. and of your own patience and industry. Depend upon it, all will turn out for the best.” Oh !'" I sighed, “you talk very well, Aunt Milly ; what can [ do?” ~L will tell you. You end have been for two years in ‘a good profes- sion. It will be your own fault if you do not rise in the world. Every man is, in a great measure, the architect of his own fortune, and where, as in your own case, the foundation of a good education is laid, so much the easier is raise the superstructure. You may be a +h man by your own exertions, and the best fortunes, is a fortune selt-earned.”’ This was the longest and gravest speech [ had ever heard from Aunt Min ‘s lips. Its truth strack me forcibly, and 4 felt rather ashamed of having so svon succumbed to dis- aster; it seewed cowardly and unworthy the manly dignity of nearly twentyjyears. Aunt Milly, with true feminine tact, saw her tage and followed it up. “Now, as to your heart troubles, my dear nephew. To tell the truth, I hardly Reliere im boyish !ove; it is so much of a dreain and so Hittle of a reality. Do not be vexed Godfrey ; but I should not be surprised if, five years hence, you tell me how fortunate it was that this trialeame. Men rarely see with the same eyes at nineteen and twenty-fiye. ” 1 energetically quoted hakspere : “ Doubt that the ata fire, Doubt that the sua doth move, Doubt truth to be » liar, But never doubdt I love.* Aunt Milly laughed. * As both these as- trouomical facts are rather questionable, you jnust excuse my doubting the final fact also. Lut time will show. Meantime do not despair ; be diligent, and be careful of the little you have left. Matters might have been worse vith you.” “Ob!” Aunt Milly, what a cheerful heart you have' But trouble never comes to you ss 4: it does to other people.”’ You area little mistaken for once Godfrey.

And yet she neither complained or despondet, but only smiled—a little sadly, pethaps—and said she knew this disaster “was all for the best,” though she could not see it at fond of flowers. fancied the Hall did’ not look s0 clearless as before; the bright March sunbeams enlivened, though they could not warm it. In a few moments appeared Aunt Milly herself, not in the least altered. but as lively and active as ever. She took me into her own little sitting room, and told me how the winter had passed with her. It bad been rather a gloomy one, she acknowledgnd; the girls had been accustomed ‘0 run wild; Louisa would have her own way; but then she was easily guided by love, and her n e was frank and warm, Diese. the pale girl, who had been delieate from her cradle, was rather indolent, but—(oh! what a blessing these buts are sometiimes!)—but then she was so sweet and gentle. 1 own when I again saw the youg dameels, thus lenilently described by Aunt Milly, I did not Peresive the marvellous change. Louisa seemed nearly ag talkative and her sister nearly as insipid as ever; still there wis a slight improvement even to my eyes, and | gladly allowed Aunt Milly the full bevefit of that loving glamour which was cast by her hopeful creed and sweet disposition. “But now, Godfrey, how fares it with you?” said my good old aunt. “ How is Laura’ and how are you getting on in the world? ’ i could give but a melancholy answer to these questions, for 1 had to work hard and the law was adry study. Besides, many people looked coldly on me afier they knew I was poorer than I had been; and even Laura herself was not so frank and kind. Vague jealousies were spring- ing up in my heart for every smile she bestowed elsewhere, and these smiles were not few. I was in truth far from happy; and so [ told Aunt Milly, adding, “If Laura does not love me I don'tcare what becomes ot me.” Aunt Milly smiled and then looked grave. “ My dear Godfrey, if Laura married to-mor- row zn would reeover in time.”’ “No, never! To lose the girl I love Isto lose everything in the world.’’ Lt may be you do not know what real love is, my dear nephew.

She took me over the house and grounds; both looked cheerful under the influence of the soft spring ; and then she told me how kind Mr. Elphinstone was, how he had been gridu- ally weaned from his solitary life to take plea- sure in the suciety of his daughters. ‘And [hope he is grateful to you, who have made it at all endurable?’’ I said. q Aunt Milly smiled. -* Yes, I believe he is, but [ have only done what I ought; the girls both love me dearly, and it is sufficient reward to see them improved.” I did not see Mr. Elphinatone, but I earnest- j ly hoped that thot solemr, coldly polite, mir’ , : de aged gentleman had shared in the general the time.

Yhen I next visited Elphinstone Hall, it was in the golden days of midsummer. 1 thought I had never beheld a more ely place. The old trees were so howery and full of leaves; the grassy lawn so greev; the flewer garden so bright Wwith., blossoms, youth were not more dificrent than the ancient, cheerless Hall of former times, and the rd ful spot I now looked upon. Even Aunt ly’ seemed to share in the general rejuvenescente. The two years which hud changed me #0 much, had not made her look a day older. She had the same clear, fresh cheerful face, and neat little figure; both perhaps a little rounder, the result of a happy life and few cares. Her dress was as tasteful as ever, but not quite so precise, and it was of richer materials. Sfe' Wore, too, various handsome articles of jewelry, aremarkable circumstance for unpretendipg Aunt Mill. I thought her pupils must be very gencrous in presents. We had not sat talking long when a very gracefal Pa crossed the lawn to the French window of Aunt Milly's room. “I will come soon; go and take your walk, Phemie dear,”’ said Aunt Milly.

I havo only made the best of what I found.” “And how has Miss Louisa turned out in yeur hands?”’ I asked, smiling. “Look at her, she is coming up the avenue on horseback.”’ And a very graceful, fearless, horsewman the quandom hoyden seemed; her wildners was subdued into sprightly, but not unlady-like manners; in short Louise had be¢ome what many men would admire as a fine, lively girl. “Why, aunt Milly,” [ said, “you must have grown quite attached to these girls; it wil! really be paintul for you to leave them.’ “I do not think of leaving them very soon,” said aunt Milly, casting down her eyes, and playing with her gold watch chain, while a very faint rosiness deepening on her fair cheek, hada scarcely perceptible smile hovering round her mouth were distinctly visible. “Indeed!” said I, inquiringly. “Yes; Mr. Elphistone ia very kind; he des not wish me to go; the girlslove me very much; and my cousin—”’ “Follows his daughters’ good example!” I cried, at last arriving at the truth. ‘-Well, I don't see how he could possibly help it; and so, dear aunt Milly, I wish you much joy.’” Aunt Milly muttered something in return, Miscellaneous.
