[From Appleton’s Journal.} We never could have dreamed such a thing of bara, she was only twenty-two, and so vert We thought her, indeed, almost a ge- ius, thoagh it must be admitted that we were ather late making the discovery. Asa child. rhe was exceedingly homely, and so shy and awkward that we thought her dull. Her mother, @ Threevityof Quemper Hill, who had been a betle, aud was still a beauty, confessed, with a sigh, that she was ashamed of her offmpring, she was so far inferiur to her cousins, the vits and the Barters, “seven in number, and every ere Ete beauties, my dear. that; but we reall not know what to do with her. Her father, John Fea: , Exq., of Chippenshaw, was nd ste neither rf being, like some other Threevits, more than wie. Wedid our best by Amelia’s un- be might bring discredit upon the Threevit family, han through any great affection for the ehuld; but then she wae w very un- prepossessing, and very discouraging. more we strove to improve her, the more shy and awkward she grew; and we were forced to con- sole ourselves with the reticetion that we could Bot expect the perfection of a Threevit from so compete Featheredge. At last, when was thirteen, Miss Margaret Featheredge, her father’s aunt, seut rt. Wewere alinost afraid to let her go. She had expectations from this relative, and we dreaded that she might make an unfavorable impression. However, we, the mother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, after an anxious debate, de- cided to hand our black sheep over to her aunt Featheredge without reserve. It was the wisest thing we could have done. Miss Featheredge immediately adopted Barbara, and we saw the child no more wntil she was nineteen, when, her great-annt being dead, she returned to us. We found hera new creature in every re- spect; not handsome, indeed, according to the ‘Threevit estimate, but quite presentable. She was no longer shy and awkward, and she proved @ perfect treasure to us,whom the careq of fashionable lite did not permit to be thorongh in literary attainments. In matters of dress, etc., we were suffigient to ourselves but on all other topies Barbara became our authority, and great was the comfort we took in her extensive and varied information. Sa eee us thatfour Bar- Lara was an accomp! and brilliant woman. hegan to ignore the fact that she was a Featheredge. We called her a Threevit; but she was the only Threevit that had ever spoken four languages (candor compels the confession that some of us could not speak one, perfectly); she was the only Threevit that had ever learned to sketch from Nature; the only Threevit that had ever been able to perform Boetho- ven's compositions; and, though we were all great talkers, old Judge Gregory had been heard to declare that she was the only Threevit worth listening to. We became very proud of our Barbara, and we made no secret of it. Our seven beanties, aware that the dear girl had prominent eyes, 4 lerge nose, a sallow complexion, and a fignre ir- remediably thin, forgave those acquired advan- which, after ail. rendered her rather for- mulable than attractive to the young beaux. But Barbara was not dependent apon the young beaux far attention. People of distinction aught her acquaintance, aud, as men of ack- ledged ability sometimes quoted her opin- we in to that she must be 3 ‘We had never bad a geuiusin the family before, and.we were, therefore, a little timid at first abont declaring onr belief that Barbara was cng: but we assertesl the fact boldly as soon as we found others ready to agree with us. Hattng established her reputation by our tact, We had a right to expect that our young relative woul! distinguish us before the workl by the cxetelse of het talents. But month after month elapsed, and Barbara discovered no intention of shifting on “Fame’s eternal bead-roll.” Be- yond exerting her remarkable conversational yowers, she accomplished nothing but a little sketehi Bittle wesctiiog: on the piano, and a vast amount of reading. We grew impatient, aud tried to spur her ambition; but 1 we were forced to the reluctant arhmission that this briltiant girl of ours had ne ambition. Never- theless, we had her interests too sincerely at heart & allow her to siuk into for want of proper self-appreciation. We were ever on the alert for a career iu whicn she could display her gifts to ndvantaze, and, when the rhewma- tism compelled Job Alorrowell to résign the of organist at St. Stephen's, we persuaded Lara to take his place. The choir was in a very demoralized con- dition, to say the least; but Barbara wrought « wonderful improvement in less than a month. It entire! own work too, for the Elmer i in undignified haste when they ew apy ment. Barbara de- joss. but for once we-Threevits en- Trely approved the course of the Misses Elm-r. ‘They were the daughters of Rufus Elmer, the owner of the iron-mil!, hetween whom and the ‘Threevits a bitter feud had long existed, con- ccrning the title to a piece of ground called the Grange corner-lot. The Elmersand Threevits did not speak, and under the circumstances So- bia aud Charlotte did well to leave the ehgir- it would have been gross —-— to in them to attempt to vie with our Barbara. St. Stephen's soon beeame widely noted for music. The church was crowded every Sun- and we Threevits felt our importance whe! r strangers turned deliberately to state at our St. €e - although we knew that smelt conduct showed very bad taste, ang we never did such a thing ourselves. Amd vet—after a most triumphant career of ix months’ duration—incredible as it may seem. Barbara suddenly retired from the choir! Great was our consternation, and great our dis- tress; but there was no opportunity to remon- strate, for the deed was done before we knew that it was contemplated. So we raised the old will abont her want of ambition. We nade our Barbara's life a burden to her for many days; but at last Uncle Joseph, the old bachelor, came w the reseue. + Do you not wuderstand,” said he, “that no genins ever hai common-sense?” ‘This reminder consoled us. We reflected that Possibly our gifted Barbara might be the best judge Of her true vouation, and that it would be t ot wisdom to leave her to the intuitions Soon we found that there were other ways in Which she coukl win distinction.
