SELECT TALK.

from Graham"1 Magazine. POOR GENEVIEVE. BY JAMES K. PACLDING. Shortly after the conclusion of the late war, a gentleman, distinguished as a scholor, a wit, and a fpolitician, who stood high in the walks of literature, and has risen to the most dignified offices by his talents and worth, was proceeding up the Mississippi in one of the first steamboats ever plied on the bosom of that mighty stream. He was a self-made and self-sustained man, somewhat past the period of blooming youth; but his person was striking, his countenance highly intellectual, his manners polished by intimate intercourse with society, his voice exceedingly melodious, and his eye capable of discoursing most eloquent music D n rill it thf rmirso nf lha vnvarro which was not in the most favorable season of the year, he become gradually indisposed and finally so ill that, Tat his own request, he was put on shore at one of those little old French villages, between the mouth of the Ohio and St. Louis, who3e size bears no portion to their age. and whose growth is so slow, that, like the current of a stagnant stream, it is next to impossible t tell whether they are advancing backward or forward. The agitation of removal, and the heat of a summer day, so agitated his disease, which was a billious ftver, that he became partially delerious. and, being without a servant, might have fared but indifferently, a stranger in a strange place, had not an elderly lady, who happened to be looking out at a neighboring window, been charitable enough to have him conducted, or rather carried to her house. Here he was placed in a bed, and immediately attended by a physician, who administered to him so successfully that the next morning his delirium had subsided into one of those lnv desperate fevers so harassing to the constitution, and so difficrltto cure. His returning consciousness disclosed loh'm the form of one of those ministering angels called women, sitting at his bed side, as awaiting an opportunity 10 present his medicine, or perforin some kind office. The sick traveller at first took it for a vagary of his brain,but after rubbing his eyes and gazing awhile, recognized a female with a cap such as French attendants generally wear, a plainjgown, and a black silk apron, with a sweet, gentle; and expressive face, apparently bearing the impression of deep solicitude. Percieveing him to be awake,she inquired, in a voice ofexquisite melody, if he wanted anything. Instead of an swering the question, tl e sick man, whom I shall call Hartland, though that was not his real name, asked two or three others in alow feble tone. "Where am I and who are you?" You are in St. , and I am poor Genevieve, your servant can I do any thing for vou sir?" " ' O, a nurse they have provided for me, I suppose ho igl.t II; r. land, I shall therefore stand on no ceremony with her. "My good girl, I will thank you for something to quench my thirst I am burning up, I believe." Genevieve took his hand, and after holding it a little while, laid it softly down on the bed, saying as if In herself, "It does indeed burn like fire." The touch of her hand was so soft, that Hartland could tell that she pitied him wiiu nn ner nean. At this moment the physician came, and our irave.ller recognized in him an old acquaintance, a senator whom he had known at Washington, and a very eminent man in his profession. He fell extremely grateful at having so gentle a nurse, and so able a physician. Yet his recovery was so slow that it did no great credit to either nurse or doctor, for it was nearly six weeks before his fever was f nirly broken. During that time he relapsed moiethan once and there were periods when all, and himself among the rest dispared of his recovery. Day and night Genevie was his attendant; we might almost say his guardian angel. If he opened his languid glassy eyes in the day, she was sitting by his bed side; and if he asked for any thing at nigh!, he was administered to by her gentle hand, and soothed by her gentle voice. At such times he was occasionally puzzled by a vague perception that he had somewhere seen her before, but it passed away like a dream, when, with all his efforts, he could neither recall the time nor the occcasion. More than once he thought he saw her wiping tears from her eyes as he awakened from his miserable intervals of partial oblivion; but he ended in being convinced that it was a mistake, since what was she to him or he to her. Genevieve had said she was his nurse, "Poor Genevieve " she was therefore hired for her service, and her attentions were to be repaid in money. Mill his soul could not resist the sacred impulse of gratitude, and he promised before his ! ll,ai wnetner ne lived or died he would make her ample amends. At length he became convalesent, and, in proportion as he recovered, Genevieve Gradually relaxed in her attendance, which was now supplied by a male servant. Hartland was a little hurt at this, and indeed seriously missed the soft voice, and gentle, compassionate look of Genevieve "I ., . up, thought he ,n a pet, -and she is waiting": to be engaged for another." Still Genevieve come sometimes, though not so often as before-! and Hartland, being now recovering from a! state of almost infant helplessness, began to' study her a little more aueniivpi v ti, something about her that puzzled him. Thouch dressed hke a wailing maid, her appearance and demeanor did not seem to belong to that class, and, in the conversations he had with her, she discovered a well cultivated mind, nlwe.Th !tha,PIUe iBftoa becoming in a well bred woman.-Every thin she said or did exhibited a quiet ladylie simplicity and decorum. There was also something in her deportment toward him so different from that which usually exists between the nurse and thepat.ent that Hartland, half the time, did not know ho to behave himself. He sometimes insisted on her being seated, but she way, , declined witha look of humility that sunk low h,. hem. At first he was puzzled n nterested, and finally there stol V', rt one of the softest of all possible feelings'

for Genevieve, compounded of full gratitude and new born love.

grown One day, while the doctor was with him, it Buuuci.uy occurred to Hartland to enquire where he was, how he came there, and most catena..-, io wnose kindness he was indebted for such benevolent attentions, hinting at the same time that he presumed it was the doctor who had enterposed in his behalf. "You are mistaken," replied his friend; "I knew nothing of your situation till I found you here.,' "Indeed! and how camel here?" "I will tell you, for you ought to know, in order to return thanks in the proper place. You are in the House of Mademoiselle deF , a young lady of French extraction, a great heiress, of lands mines, and what not, extending no one knows where, and withal, a most beautiful, admirable, accomplished woman. She is a ward of mine, or rather was, for she is now ofage, and might have married long ago, but for a singular ermnlo v. hih .encourages at a risk of nassinir th m.inj.. i of her life in sinvlp hlAor "Ah!" rejoined Hani anH. ivhn fnnnrl Kimir " O - "'V"JVllll.BJ, not a little interested about the heiress; ' ah and what may this scruple be?" ' "She imagines, or rather fears, it is her great possessions that attract so many admirers whereever she goes: and faith, notwithstanding her beauty and accomplishments, she is probably in the right. She is waiting to be loved for herself alone, and from being almost always surrounded by frivilous or interested admirers, has contracted a sort of contempt if not aversion, to men, which, in spite of the feminine gentleness, not to say tenderness, of ipSuun, aispiays ltseiriu an uniform indifference, if not haughtiness to all those who aspire to her g-ood graces. She once told me she never saw but one man towards whom she felt almost irresistibly attracted, and he treated her as if she was nobody." "I should like to see her," answered Hartland, "for. independent of the obligations I owe her, she must be something of a curiosity. Such humility is not often coupled with wealth, beauty and accomplishments. But you have not yet told me how I came to be here." "You were seen by a good old aunt who resides with the young lady, and who happened to be looking out of the window as you were landed, in a state of partial delirium. She apprised Mademoiselle deF of the circumstance, who immediately gave directions to have you bi ought here." "Upon my word,I owe her obligations which I can never repay." "That is more than you know," said the doctor, smiling." "I should however, at least like to thank her. Where does she hide heiself? How happens it I have never by any chance seen or heard her voice? and when will she permit me to express my gratitude?" "It would not be etiquette you know," replied the doctor, again smiling with a sweetness I never saw in any other man, "It would not be etiquette for a young lady to visit a single gentleman, like you, in his bedchamber. But, in a few days, I shall let you out of the cage, and then you shall see her. Take care of yourself; the citadel is moving, but will cost aloug seige, and perhaps not surrender at last." The doctor then rose to depart, when Hartland with a degree of hesitation which surprised himself, and the color raising on his pale "But doctor, now I think of it, who is the gentle, kind, attentive nurse to whom, I verily believe meaning no reflection on your skill lam indebted for my recovery. I owe her much, and you must put me in some way of expressing my obligations." "She is paid for her attendance," replied the doctor, carelessly, "and will accept nothing fromyru, except what you will not perhaps be willing to bestow on her." "What do you mean by that doctor?" "Nothing," as he departed with a significant smile. Hartland fell into a reverie. The words, she is paid for her attendance," grated harshly on his ears. He wished it had been voluntary, for then he could have'ascribed it to some motive that would have flattered his self-love or to do him justice, appealed to his gratitude and affections, and nipriiod a ,r.rr-. i ! - . u uinticill OLKIKIWI- 1 edgement than mere sordid money. He tried .uuue nimseit that he owed poor Geoev.eve nothing but her wages, while his heart told him that such attentions as she had paid could never be bought with gold. But what could the doctor mean hv hi ous smile:and the equivocal phrai-e of "she will rFv ... noimng irom you, but what yon will not perhaps be willing to bestow on her? Hartland could make nothing of this, and became buried in a perplexity of thought, from which he was rouse d by the steps of Genevieve who entered the room nh i, , tiiiiiuuy, and asked, in trembling accents, after his llvull 11. "Iam quite well, dear Genevieve, thanks to your blessed kindness, which I can never repay." "My wages are already paid," answered she, withapparent simDlicitv:"and nmr iw quite recovered. I am going a way. I came to ! old you farewell, to e apiiir-,uiiu io as oi you sometimes to remember poor Genevieve." There was something exquisitely touching in her voice, her look, nmtiha Ja. i r her eyes, as she 'pronounced these words, which entered the very soul of Hartland. "Genevieve;" said he, "sit down by me, and hear what I am going to say. Nay I insist upon your not being seared.forjrou have much to hear and it does not become one who owes his life to be seated, while you are standing." "It does not become one like me to be seated in the presence of one like you," replied Genevieve in a low and thrilling voice of deep humility m Hartland with respectful violence compelled her to place herself by his side on the sofa. "Genevieve." said he,youhave saved mv lire; is there any wish of your heart ungratified" any thing within the power of man to do that will contribute to your happiness.or that or any one dear to you? If there is, I her pledge the soul which was bestowed on me by my Maker, and the life which you have preserved,

to do what man can do to repay, a far as possi-

"I would make yon my wife," cried Hartland, with a tone and expression that could not be mistaken. "My dear, dear wife, to live with me and be my love lorever." "What, poor Genevieve!" almost shrieked she.

Genevieve did not reply, but led him into a capacious apartment whose window, reaching to the floor, opened on a terrace overlooking a httle river that skirted a green lawn, as it coursed its way to eternal oblivion in the bosom of the great father of waters.

Hartland advanced to pay his compliments and express bis acknowledgements, which he did witL his usual grace and fluency. But the lady made no repiy, and for a few moments
