I need not tell you my amour propre was gratified by a distinction rare enough at my age.

I was Fassiotntely in love; and you all know, hope, that when love takes possession of a young head, adieu to every thing

'I should never have guessed it, said Amelia; 'he seems neiiher vain nor pedantic' How thankful was I for this reputation! Next morning I went to a

gardener, and ordered fifty rose-trees of;

different months to be put in vases. 'It must be singular ill fortune,' thought I,

if among this number, one at least does

not flower.' On leaving the garden 1 went to my bookseller's purchased

some works on flowers, and returned home full of hope. I intended to accompany my rose tree with a fine letter, in which I should request to be permitted

to visit Madame de Belmont, in order to

teach her daughter the art of having roses in the winter; the agreeable lesson, and the charming scholar, were to me much pleasanter themes than those of my philosophical lectures. I built on all this the prettiest romance possible; my milk pale ha t not got on so fur as Parrctts : ?he held it on her head ; and my ro.-je was not yet transplanted into its vase, but I saw it all in blow.

time I was happy only m imagination; I no longer saw Amelia ; they ceased to invile me to the dowager parties, and she was not allowed to mix in those of young people. I must then be restricted , until

I had gone the evening before, to a sheepfold in the vicinily, to purchase a lamb similar to the one I killed. I collected from the hot houses, all the flowering rose-trees I could find: the finest of them was for Madame tie Belmont; and the roses of the others were wreathed in a garland round the

fleecy neck of the lamb. In the evening I went to my neighbor's with my present 'Robin and the rose-trees are restored to iop,' said I offering my homage, which was received with sensibility and gratefulness. 'I also should like to give you a newyaar'a gift, said Madame de Belmont to me, 'If I but knew w hat you would best like.' What I best like ah, if I only dred to tell you!' 'If it should chance now to be my daughter. I fell at her feet and so did Amelia.
