A'. OUST 12, 1863. The Argosy. BEHIND A SOFA. I like to creep away into corners and hide myselt with the fold of a curtain, or half-open door, or behind oii9 of the grtat painted fire-screens, or in the shadow of the tallest furniture. There I have odd little fancies all to myself, and wish things and dream things which nobody knows anvthing about. For-I am different iroin. all the rest; my parents are tall and handsome, and Louise is the prettiest girl lever saw. Then my brother Harry, who was killcsrinthe Indian Muiiny, was like a prince in a fairy story, so bravo and beautiful, liat I! 1 am small and feeble.' I cannot run or wrestle, and thero is something growing on my shoulders which keeps eio from standing straight, and they call me deformed. I shall never grow anymore; strangers think me nine or ten years old, but when 1 count the years from the date in the family Bible, I find I am sixteen. People always speak kindly to me, with great pity in their eyes, and once in a while I pity myself, but not often. I like to be this queer little figure. Louise is like the ladies in leeends and ballads, and I am like the Imp and dwarfs; when I read abont them I look at myself in the mirror, and make grimaces, and whirl over on one hand and then on the other, till Louise looks distressed and bees me to stop. Being what I am, of courso I don't otten go anywhere, except in Summer when we leave town; and nobody makes me do anything; so I roam all over the house, and read, and lie with my eyes shut for chy dreams, and am merry and happy almost all the time. I wish I were only six inches high, what fun. I would have in the" world! Then when we are in the country, I could ride on the birds' baeks, and down in the woods I could sit astride of the "great lusti toad stools, and drink from acorn-cups or by the ' sea shore, I fancy I could launch a nautilus and sail away like any grim little sprite. However, to be four feet high ha its advantages. .,, , . , i ; When Harry was wounded, and lay 1q the hospital, kfiowing he must die, he wrote a long letter to xny father and mother, full of grief, andoomfort, too; and, then he told them a thing which surprised them gn at ly. liow he wa3 engaged to marry a j-irt in a town in which they had been quartered. How sweet and lovely she was, and how desolate she would be now; and he wanted them to send lor her, and to love her like a 'daughter, : 1 clappr.d my hands at that. 1 liked to have people do things to interest me; and the idea of poor Harry having fallen in love! For I know very well what love is: 1 have read the ' Fairy Queen '-' all through, and a great many romances. ' And 6ome timo ago I began a sly watch over Louise, on account of a certain Philip Kayburn coming to the house very often. But about Harry's lady-love My mother does not like strangers very well, but being for Harry's sake made a difference, and my mother urged the plan. A? for Louise, it seemed as if she could not be eager enough for the eomiL2 of Miss ihnilv Grey, she was so determined to cherish and lovo her. For my part, as home is all the real world thero is for me, I like to have as many characters in it us pos sible. Ko when we heard that Emily Grey was eonung to JjDgland, wo invited her to stay with us. : She would not come at once. She was timid, it seemed; or perhaps, Harry being dead, she would rather avoid his household." But Louise pleaded for her, and wrote ' her, a great many loving letters, and at last Emilj. came. . : ; Emily came. That first evening when they brought her into the parlor, I vas lying under the table with my head on a hassock, thinking about the Old Man of the Sea in the Arab ian jNijuts, anil wishing I had been one cf the genii of those days. But when Emily entered, I forgot everything else, and peered out from under the table-cover at her. What a dainty little lady she was! so pale and slight, she made me think of frail, fluttering yellow butterflies; partly. I suppose, because of her yellow curls, which fell all over her shoulders when Louise took away her hat and shawl. Her eyes were wide and " pale and blue, her cheeks were colorless, and she had a frightened, deprecating way of looking up, even after my stately mamma had embraced her. But Louise kept about her, and cheered her, and talked to her, till she began to look brighter. Louise wag so different, such a darling, ' nut-brown maydV with honest, dark ! eyes and rosy cheeks, and lips always ready to inile. Louise is my beauty. My fatLer and mother went out after a while;, and Louise still talked to her guest, while I lay very contentedly on thj floor, alt curled up just where I could see ail that passed withon'. turning mv head. Louisa W6nt to an ttagerc at the other end of the. room, to set a little picture of Harry, and I idly kept watch of Emily. That moment she interested me; her wide, pale eyes narrowed and grow intense, she cast a quick, furtive glance after Louise, and around the room, curving her little, white neck, und a strange, bright smile flitted over her lips. 1 thought instantly of Coleridge's Geraldine, with the evil eye, and just for fun I lifted the tabic cover and put my. head and shoulders out so that she eould see mc. I am afraid I grinned at her. She shrieked and flung her Lands before her face. Louise came running back, and asied what had frightened her. . "Oh!" she whiepercd, "such a dreadful face peered at me from under (he table! There it U again !"' And shuddered. ' Chaf''s5" exclaimed Louise, looking ar ound, "come out, you naughty boy, and speak to Miss Grey.. It's only my brother Charles, our pet. He is fall cf freaks. One never knows where he is." . ... ,., ,' Emiiy Grey looked at me like the saddect and sweetest little creature that ever lived, as I went up to her, and she reached out her small white hind to ine, ana said, in a low, musical yoice, " So this is dear Charlie. I have heard of him. We will be friends, w-oa't we?" " Will you Ul mc stories? 1 asked. She laughed merrily. "Yes, heaps of them, child." "Did you love Harry" I asked again. .- . She shivered at that, and looked imploringly at Louise. " Charlie, you re unkind," said Louise, reproachfully. - "Well, then, I won't ask her if she voved Harry. t'U go off and read my koi? of hobgoblins." ''(,no! don't be vexed, Charley," said iSanly, with great Bwcetnesji. " Stay by' me aat wil tell you a story " Stf I stopped, and Bhe told me a senseless story of two girls who went to school. When 1 saw u waa not going to amount to aoythirg, I started to leave her. "I don't like that," I said, "f like witch stories."

TIIURSI.'AY..

replied, 'railing, "perbe better." A.nd then 1 haps this vriil i she told me a story of an old witch who had a throne down in the slime of the sea, with a string of bones around her neck, and a toad perched on each shoulder, .cvnd tnis witcu bought souls, and gave people power over heart3 in exchange. " That wa3 a good story ! " I said at the end. , "And now, dear Charley, go to bed," Louise directed. So I kissed my pretty sister s hand and glided on. Emily very soon learned to be perfectly at home with us. She seemed to wind herself about the hearts of my lather and mother, and as for Louise Louise would have walked over burning ploughshares to do har service. I liked her about half the time, and the other half I felt like teasiug her. She would grow so white and terrified when I sprang out at her from behind curtains or doors. More thau ever I wished that I had fairy power, to change myself into all kinds of fairy shapes a tiny flea to hop into her ear, a yellow snake to twine myself with her curls, a mouse to run over her pillow, or an elf in her desk to open her letters! She was such an absurd coward. Bat being four feet high and not a fury, I could only fined my wicked pleasure in annoying her by constant survillance and sudden starts. She seemed afraid to be angry with me, and never exposed me. Perhaps her conscience made her uneasy, for my dear, innocenthearted Louise never was startled or terrified by her dwarf Charlie's tricks. "O, slender, willowy Emily, yellowhaired Emily, my brother's darling! Why were you not all Louise dreamed you, pure-hearted and true, sorrowing and loving? My father treated her a3 another daughter, and declared she should never leave us; my mother i gradually came to consult her exqisite taste in all little matters which Louise formerly decided. And at ! last they even insisted on her rutting . off the badge ofber fidelity to Harry, her mourning, despite the sad little shake of her head in remonstrance. She shall not make a nun cf her self," exclaimed ray fatherMy heart will be m mourning all tb time," she whispered to Louisa, and liOUife kissed her. . ... . , Spring came, and our mother com- j tnenced house cleaning on a grand j scale; every room was visited, scoured, ! ana; pamtea, ana ine furniture rearranged. How she made the servants fly about 1 Every one wished it well ; at an end; every one but me, I found too much fun in it. I rolled over on mattresses; made nests to curl myself up in among heap? ot blankets; revelled in hidden relics brought to light; perched myself on cupboard shelves; read Gulliver's Travels undisturbed in the pantry by a jar of sweetmeats; and a dozen time nearly tripped up our portly butler as he was carrying loaded trays up stairs. When the raid exteaded to the sitting rooms. I found unanticipated pleasure. The statuettes of bronze and marble had always looked at each other eo unmoved from their. different corners that it provoked me. I had read somewhere in a German story of a ! house where the China figures of a j shepcrdess and a chimney sweep made ! love to each other when no one was ! in the room, and finally ran off to-1 gcther. I was always hoping' something of the kind might ' happen in our art collec-1 tion and now, when all the casts and. figures were set down in a I crowd on the great centre-table, it j really seemed as if they could not j keep silence. At night, when every! one had gone to their rooms, a whim I seized mc to creep softly down stairs j and peep into the drawing-room to j see what was going on among the j bronzes and marbles. The moonlight lay across the table, and C-lytie unchanged never breathed or moved, though a bronze Pau made mute music on his pipes before . her, as motionless as she. Faust did not kiss Marguerite; and Mercury, poised on one toe, did not catch at the chance to substitute the other foot. Altogether the assemblage was a failure. Have the fairies, then, never yet crossed the ocean from Germany? There was a low hum of voices in the kitchen below; so, disappointed in my miracle-saeking, I thought I would slip down stairs, and see what was going on so late. The butler, the cook, and the chambermaid, each stood, candle in hand, lingering over some dispute. v" Well, leastways," said the butler, " Miss Emily have a very sweet manner, and that's all 1 know." " She have her own way, that's what she have! " said the cook. ;" Hum!" interrupted Kitty, ''she makes cold chills rup over me. She's winding 'em all about her two little fingers, and she has the evil eye for certain. Mind you, she brings no good!" Next morning, as I met Emily on the stair-case, I stopped her and looked straight up at her face. " What's the matter now, Charlie?" she asked, with a toss of her yellow curls.. ; "I want to see your eyes; please loak at me." " What for?" she demanded, without meeting my glance. Kitty says you have the evil eye for certain. What does she mean, Emily?" I asked, mischievously. " I should think, Charlie, you might know by this time that what servants mean is not of the slightest importance." And she moved haughtily by me. A week after Kitty was dismissed. Louise pleaded for her in vain. She had lived with us for six years, and I asked my mother what fault she had committed. " Emily had discovered in her some dishonesty," mother said, quietly. " I don't know what I should do without Emily." 1 Evidoutly Emily was quite usurping Louise's place, but Lou didn't seem to mind, and loved her just as well. One day 1 asked Lou if she wasn't jealous. She blushed briehtly, and said, with a shy smile, "Why, Charlie, if I should ever be leavins home, you know, I should feel so much better to have my place filled, so that they would not miss mc!" .should miss you! 1 should miss von!" I exclaimed, clincinz to her and half crying. She bent and kissed me. 'My darling boy, do you think I should not take you with mc? We will neecr be parted,' Charlie. I could not bear any one take my place in your heart!" 1 suppose when .she spoke of leaving home, she was thinking of Philip Kayburn, for 1 had heard several little hints and whispers lately, which made me pretty sure that somethings were settled between them; and he came to the house oltener than ever. When the reception rooms were all arranged again, my mother disposed the turniture differently, moving eh&ips and tables and sofas to quite different positions, Emily advising her. One great, richly carved sofa, with a high antique back, she insisted should be placed transversely apross a corner. " It looks so much easier than to have it Ptift'and straight by the wall,"

"Ah!" sh?

c.lifi sqid. I chuckled to rpvsf-lf. for 1

fnrecnw n rare hidiE2-tIace. VvhlCU might remain unsuspected for a long time, if I were careful; and the next chance I had, when no one was in the room, I collected a few things in that corner for private delectation. .1 put the softest hassock there,- and a Scotch plaid to lie on,, one of my little chloroform bottles which I keep to smell at when. 1 am nervous, and some of i my favorite books.- Of course I coald not read in there, but jast . the laying my hand or my cheek on a volume makes it seem like a companion, and brings its contents all into my mind. Such - a snug little triangle, as I made of it. shaded and secluded entirely by the high back of ancient carving, and the only light which could Teach me there must crawl along the carpet, under the damask and fringe. 1 .It was very satisfactory, and all my own secret. Emily began to bo invited everywhere; under mamma's chaperonage society received her with open arms; bouquets and cards of invitation kept our little waitress doing duty at all hours, and gentlemen made calls of an evening, inquiring especially for Miss Grey; My mother scolded her for receiving them so oooly; but despite the coldness, Emily infused some nameless charminto her manner which made them -call again and again.
