Fi-om the Southern Literary Jfessenger. Frances and Fanny. IS FIVE CHAPTERS (COSTISCED.) CHAPTER 11. At length the Woodleys came, and I could scarcely wait to hear the praises of the house and furniture. The very next day, they took ine to the ladys house, and from thathour,I lost my personal and mental identity. Walew Dm-ftit ? T fi4rmni-l rirt ttiia Vniinrr gentleman, was no more; and I had not made up my mind what I now was I never intact thought of myself. My ingenuity was forever on the rack, to devise plans by which I eould see her daily. 1 went about as in a dream, shunning every body, lest they might be in the way at a mors ent when I conld get access to her. She was a superb creature, see her when and where I would, but she showed to most advantage, when in her own house. It was there that I felt the full force of her character and talent, in the natural and suitable way exactly to 6iiit my nice notions. I discovered that she understood several languages, and that her reading was far more extensive than mine I sighed over the time that I had wasted. But Miss Fielding was not accessible at all times, particularly to the young men, who. from their standing in the world, might claim the privilege of visiting her. She was often cold and inattentive, and I fared no better than the rest. It could not be said with all my boasted pretensions, and my wealth, that I was more favored than any of those who were less eligible, although from her intimacy with my cousins, it might be considered that 1 had additional claims. Nay, 1 was never permitted to see her in the evening, because It was not customary to allow young men to visit the fami!y circle in a familiar manner, and she gave no evening parties. I called there one moruing, and to my surprise, she was alone. How this happened I could not tell, for when her doors was open to receive visiters, her rooms were crowded. Her manner to me was polite, but freezingly cold, and I felt uncomfortable enough, though 1 tried to appear at ease. An Italian book lay on the table near me, and ia commenting upon it I spoke in Italian, but though she understood the language and could couverse freely in it, she answered me in Engiish, thus checking all attempts at familiarity. She made no display of herself, nor did she tolerate it in others, yet strange to say, reserved as she was, my respect and love for her incseased. A note was brought to her, and I observed that she blushed deeply while reading it, and I thought she was agitated. After a few seconds, she recovered her composure, and observed, carelessly that it was from her cousin, and to my surprise, she asked me if I had ever seen her. I told her that I had not, but that Mrs. Woodley promised me the pleasure. -Well," said she, smiling, yet blushing at the same lime, "you shall soon see her, we are so very different in our ways, that we are not together so often as I could wish. She never sees company in the morning for that is her time to transact her business, and it is of such a nature as to occupy much of her time. Now, I find it more convenient at this present time, to attend to my affairs in the evening, particularly as that time suits Mr. Woodley best. My cousin on the cantrary, is at leisure in the evening, so if you have a desire to bocome acquainted with her, I will break through my rule and call there some evening, or break through her rule, and call there in the morning, should you like t) accompany me." Should I like to accompany her! I was too much taken by surprise to answer immediate ly, and she haughtily drew up her beautiful head. "I understood from Mrs. Woodier," said she, ' that you were very desirous for an introduction to my cousin, I beg your par don " I hastened to undeceive her, and earnestly begged for the honor of attending her at any time, telling her that my confusion arose from me recoiieciion oi a convetsation that occur red a few mornings before. "Did it relate to my cousin?" said she, look ing as cold as possible. 'Miss Fielding was passing at the moment," said I, "but not near enough to distinguish her features, particularly as her veil was down. I was very desirous of knowing whether she resembles you. It was Mr. Headley who spoke of her; and he would not allow that there was any thing more than a slight family resemblance. Is she thought to look like you?" This was the fust approach towards familiarity that I had ever attempted, it was graciously received"Why yes" said she, "I think she does look like me, perhaps more than cousins generally do. aiie is ot trie same heiffht. with hair n ml eyes of the same color as mine, and her fore -

"Why, WTalter," said Sophia, "who could imagine that4a trifle of this kind would nettle you so much?

Yes, you spoke rather disoaratrinolv. anil on the whole, I think more highly of her than j,.. luueu voice sne nas. an educated, well modulated voice! I think - v-v . .1 1 M ... . I you scarcely do her justice. You led me into an error, too, respecting her cousin Fanny, your favorite. Your praise of her was ouite as unwarrantable as your dispraise of Miss Field in "Pray, why do you suppose that Fanny is not the perfect creature I represented her to be? You have never seen her." "Xo, but Jack Headley says that she has as he expresses it a pinched up, mean ex-1 pressionof face, that she is a society beggar;1 and that she occupies all her time and thoughts in procuring funds for ihe young men who' are to be educated for the ministry, as if they could not labor for themselves. Is not this in truth, her character and busiress?" "Hersoe business! Xo, not exactly. My dear husband, what are you laughing at? you are wondrous merry, considering that you have not dined. Business? what is Fanny's character? I do not think that her affairs need be canvassed by any one, seeing she troubles them not. For a young woman without a family, her time is well employed; though I must say, I should prefer that she worked for her own sex, such as really want assistance. I think with my husband and other sensible people, that these young men would be more respectable, if they supported themselves. Why, here is my dear husband, lie wrote in an oflice six hours every day for three years.just to get money enough to pay his board, and see how many physicians of eminence have taught school to defray their expenses while studying, and in fact; after they were admitted to practice. I blame Fanny for this as it is a mistaken charity; Inn you are wrong in imagining that this is her sole occupation. She works for the j oor, also, and if she had money to giveaway, she would prefer that mode of charity to all others, but she li3s not enough. Indeed all1 her income proceeds from her cousin; who is a dear, generous createre. that I must own. Why, she allows Fanny five hundred dollars a year, and a pretty bouse and garden. Fanny and aunt Barry, as they call her, live very comfortably on this income." "What." said I, "only five hundred dollars a year? That is a verv small sum." "You should recollect that Miss Fielding has a number of people dependent upon her. As to Fanny, 1 shall say nothing more in her favor, until yon see her. Jack Headley has never seen her in her own house, and as to her laying her visiters under contribution, that is one of his fables. Young men, who do not like to give their money for charitable purpo ses, are very apt to turn women into ridicule, If they would attend to such matters, women would not go about begging for money." "Come Sophia," said James, "you have 'said enough. Walter is quite cooled down from the heroics take him and see Your favorite go this evening, she keeps early hours, and the contrast between the cousins will be more perceptible, if he sees them both in the same day." "Xo, no, not this evening, for he is Iodine t out, you know, and such a dinner party with au sescuamc leclings, will unht him for . cousin here, we are now quite independent." i .... , - - . - "es,but dear, you are not apt to laugh out such a style at a piece of good luck.

day, and every thing within and without, took its hue from the warm sunshine.

He L-Mnt about cameoe?, studioes, billiards and the best kind or black satin stocks, and there this peerless, gifted creature stood listening to all this nonsense, sympathising with the ape because he dreaded thai these villainous stocks would grow out of fashion. I therefore took my seat the farthest from l"" too, she having assigned the place to me ' :.t . .... . . . ... wun a ruineu appetite, and a bitter spirit, losinT an pv11.-,i r ....-..: a verv charming woman th. ii.r ih wife of a foreign minister. Miss Lesion was near me, too, and she had one of the sweetest and most gentle voices in the world. Her singing was very fine too, and until I saw Miss Fielding, I had a half a mind to fall in love with her. Yet ill at ease as I was, no one ould help acknowledging that Miss Fielding presided with ease and dignity, of course, she was an object of profound admiration to all who were present, even the foolish fop never took his eyes off her, although his bold chat was addressed to his neighbor. "How long have you known Miss Fielding?" said l, as tie took his seat next we went in the .Imu in-r rnnm to me, when "I saw her yesterday or the day before for the first time. I am but just beginning to live. T C i -iii .. how I am distinguished already, invited tola i laucy we snau oe very intimate. ou see select party, and all my little nothings received so graciously..' My indignation was too great for speech. What! this silly prate-a pace, this nothing, to he on such familiar terms with one of the most reserved and haughty women in the world, slighting, nav. entirely overlooking me? I who was, vanity apart, so infinitely his supe rior, and more on an equality with herself! It was not to be borne any longer. Highly ex asperated, I approached her to make my bow, pleading an engagement for retiring so early. Hut see what poor imbeciles we lovers are; in one moment, her look one glance of her eye disarmed me. You are not going. Mr. Percival?" said she in a calm; quiet, vet decided manner. "You are a fine judge of music, I hear, and you must pronounce judgment on my new piano, we jhall go to the music room presently." Surely, there was nothing in this speech to elate me, but I was elated. We took coffee and then repaired to the music room, whilst I poor silly fellow, thought no more of my en gagement, for I really had one, though not of much importance. Presently Miss Lest on was at the Piano, and though it seemed rather utre to sing so early 'in the evening, for it was scarcely seven, yet the young lady ventured. The voice and the riano were pro nounced excellent, and Miss Leston was asked for another eon ft. this she declined unless it were a duett, and that some gentleman would accompany her. Miss Fielding, who was standing next to me, begged that I would oblige them, as she knew I often aecomnanied Mrs. Woodley, so I could not refuse, though I scarcely heped to get through with credit. Our performance was pronounced capital. and all were loud in expressing their pleasure, all but Miss Fielding and Mr. Mosely, who whispered several times during the song. The fellow had the impudence to fall in with us at the end of the second part, and his voice swelled out at the finale, and one of Miss Fielding's whispers 'was to compliment him upon the richness and fullness of his voice. Miss Fielding should in all courtesy, have sung first, but etiquette was laid aside, and Miss Leston was very amiable and quite wil ling to sing first or second. But the lady of u.e nouse was now called upon, and I raised my eyes suddenly to her fare with the expectation of hearing a cold refusal. To mv sur prise however, she was gracious, and never in my life had I been 'transported. We all listened with a deep, thrilling interest, and our silence was not broken even for a minute after the song was ended. Now, I was possessed with a new fancy, quite as tormenting, perhaps more so, than any that I had yet experienced. The vexations and bitterness of the hour had passed away, and I asked myself what claims I had to the particular attentions of such a woman, so far my superior so far superior to every one else What right had I to dare to love her even, much less expect her to love in return ? It was evident that she had no desire at present to "change her condition, her civility to Mosely, and others of his class, arose I could plainly see it now from the conviction, that her friends would understand her motives; for their utter insignificence screened her from the reproach of encouragement To young men of talents, wealth and pretension, she wa as cold as an icicle. I should not have supposed there was any thing personal in her neglect of me, but the tumult of my soul deprived me of the counsel of my understanding. So I became reconciled, as it were to the pervorseness of my destiny, resolved to love even without hope. This was misery certainly, but a gloomy kind of misery. But whether talking or singing, whether musing or listening, the eyes of everyone were rivited on her beautiful face. How she bore all this without becoming vain and overbearing, astonished me, for now, that I could rea i "i me riupjcii. nci vuiuufss was a oiessins. i.m n,n,i,i,,( .v: : . . son on the siibject.jb.er coldness was a blessing. atTe had the slightest effect upon her actions pon her actions or conversation she was as artless and unaffected as a child.

Has any one observed the difference in voi

ces? The voice is as capable of education in speaking as in singing, and I wonder that this has not become a subject of discussion. There ought to be teachers of intonation in Bpeaking as well as melody and harmony in singing. Miss Fielding had, by nature, a sweet and sil very voice, and its clear ringing sound had ceased. Throughout the day, what a conflict had undergone! Mosely has laughed and chat tered and shown himself to every one in the company, and every one laughed with him in return his good humor was uninterrupted, his eniovment complete. I had been in the same society, partaken of the same hospitali ties yet what was the result a series of mortifications and disappointments! It was the demon love for to me, he was a demon which tyranized over me, and gave a jaundiced color to all that passed. I found that I was not in the slightest degree necessary to Miss Fieldings happiness, I had not one attraction for her! I wanted to hear her sing again. There is nothing so composing to a lover's feelings, as the voice of the lady he loves, even if she love not in return. She had sung a rich beautiful song, a bravura, but I wanted to hear a tender ballad, or one of Burns' touching Scotch songs, but these foreigners had no taste for such delicate heart stirring music, they admire that which dazzles and surprises. Accordingly, they supplicated for an Italian song, and one most difficult of execution. It was one which all the skill of a Malibran to execute, and in which, at one time, she nearly failed. I trembled with apprehension, but 1 might have spared myself the pain, for she went through it with the greatest ease, unfaulteringly. We were as before, entranced, unable from intense delight and admiration to bestow those praises which it was so natural to give. Wonderful creature, so perfect, so graceful, fascinating, yet so incapable of loving! The remainder of the evening was passed by me in a confused reverie, scarcely speaking to any one excepting in monosyllables, so that the party there, no doubt, called me a dull 6tupid fellow. It was time to depart, and Miss Fielding bowed us out, in the most agreeable manner, and apparently, as if she had been at the head of such an establishment all her life. I moved with the rest of the enamored guests, not even distinguished by a separate nod. (TO BE COSTINCFD.) i . . 1. .
