Nevertheless, itis an observa- tion which few make, and fewer atill will confess to be true, Therfore, we intend to enter the listin behalf of ugliness, Prom this declaration it will doubtless be concluded that we are some old bache- lor, ugly enough * to frighten the crowa,"’ as coun- try children eay; but decidedly such {s not the cave, Having thus given out our thesia, itis our inten- tion t illustrate it by « tale—*'an ower true tale,” a6 the annals would write: and, moreover, we judge it best at once to acknowledge that it {sea love tale, nothing but a cormmon-place love tale; uo won- derful self<devotion ; no ‘heroism in humble life," will be found therein ; therefore, gentle reader, it ia uuselens to seek it. And, after this exordium, we will begin Philip Heathcote lived tn a country town, where he was the beau par excellence,--the Adonia, Apollo, ‘Na us, Of almost every young lady from ftifwen to fihy ;andite tol the truth, Philip waa indeed very baudsome, We have no intention of describ. ing categorically bis eyes, nose,'and mouth, becau se beauty is eutirely a personal matter, 1s is seldom that two people agree on the subject.

There is no witchery ao complete asthat ofa loving eyo. Therefore, let each one picture our young hero as resembling her own, ard she will like Philp Heathcote all the better Philip was one of those fortunate persons who seem born with talents for everything, H's con- versation was winning enough to wile a bird off a bush,'' he wae ‘a man of infinite humour"? as Shakspeare bas tt, and possessed that ever welcome quality of making the dullest party erry when be entered ft. Then be was the best dancer, the Lest siuger, the beat flute player for miles round ;—wrote peetry, composed songs, drew likemepses,—in short Philip was a pattern of perfection. His praise ranz through the couutry round; none were insensible tw it, aave one, the very last he would have wished to be #,—a young girl, uamed Margaret Lester, With that peculiar contradiction which charac. terizes love, young Heathcote's beart—if he had a heart, which somo doubted —was yiven to one entire. ly the opposite of himself, Quiet, uuassuming, not beautiful, only interesting, with no accomplishment fave a sweet voice, which could warble for ever, Marjuret Lester had yet stolen away all the love which the mowy, fascinating, dashiny Pailip could bestow ; aud, wonderful to tell, wae qaite insensible to her prize, She was not in love with any one else, that was certain; and thatthe sweet, gentle Mur- waret was heartless, —ob! that was quite impossible, too; but yet she did not care for Philip im the least She never asked for bis poetry; seldom sang with hit; wos perfectly happy to waltz with any one else ; would quiesly, aud without changing colour, a kuowledge i's personal aud mental qualities, and praise him with the greatest unconcern, Ao, for months and months, these two moved through the circles of country walety ; meeting constantly, and furnishing for some time a grand aubject for specu- lation, In worldly matter both were equal ; neither very rich nor poor,—well matched, a@ the goas!ps said ; but it was all useless ; and Philip at last mor- tifled with the calm indifference which his homage wou from the gentle girl, ceased all outward show of it; paid attention to every new or pretty face, and seemed determined to dazzle and charm with- outever really loving or being loved, Margaret Was ag apparently unmoved by her lover's derelic- tion, as by his previous adoration, Her rea) thoughts on the subject were only expressed to her mother, who naturally wished to see her auly child settled “Why could you notlike Philip Heathcote?" ask- ed Mre, Lester, * You know, love, he has good proa- pects, every one adm! res bit ; he is very bandsome, and is the life of all society, wheroever he goes." “Tat is the very reason he did not please me me, dear mamma," answere!

The youny, gay, handsome Philp, who had dane. ed so merrily a few hours before, and charmed all, a4 was bis wont, was taken home in thegrey morm. ing twilight disfigured for life! Marvaret Lester's kind heart overflowed with un+ mingled pity at hear ng toils heroic and generous deed! She could not have believed hitn capable of uch. Her tender conscience smote her for having misjudved him, and many slight inatances of bie kindly feeling rose to her mind, which showed be must have hada higher and better character be- neath the one in which he publicly appeared, There is nothing so sweet or 60 all-oxtenuating as the com- pasmon of a gentle-Leorted woman thouch exercised towards a rejecte!, or even a faithless lover Many monthe did Philip Ve on bis lonely and desolate sick-bed, for be had no mother or sister to watch over bim. ome few among those who hat been charmet with lin sent to inquire after the poor young man fore little time.
