"COBWEBS," A KOniNTIC STOKV. "Hist! look there!" The speaker whs one of two young men, who IihiI come up to the mountains on h pedestrian and sketching t-xpedilion from the city of Philadelphia. As he spoke, he laid his hand on his companion's arm. The person he addressed looked, and saw a little girl, about ten years old, advancing in the old blackberry path. She was as brown as a berry from exposure to the sun, l.and hex feet and. aims were bare, but, there, was. a grace about her, as she came tripping forward, that a princess might have envied. Just in front of her a spider has spun his trap across the path, and, as the youug man spoke, she slightly stooped her head, and raising her hands pushed the cobwebs aside. It was this artless, natural movement which completed the picture. "I should like to paint her," said he who had spoken. "What! love at first sight?" answered his companion, laughing. "To think of the fastidious Clarence loosing his heart to a sunburnt fairy! You are eighteen, and she about ten oh! you can affort to waid." The conversation had been carried on in whispers. The child, still advancing, has by this time come opposite to the two young men. On seeing them she stopped and stared curiously at them, as a young deer that had never been hunted may be supposed to stop and regard the first stranger that enters the forest. Her bright, speaking f -ce, as she thus stood gracefully arrested, was not less beautiful, in its way, than her lith e figure. "My dear," said the last speaker, "would you like to be made into a picture? My friend here is a painter, and will give you a dollar if you will let him sketch you." The girl looked from the speaker to his friend. Something in the hitter's face seemed to restore the natural confidence which the free-and-easy air of the other had for the moment shaken. She drew coyly up to him, as if for protection. "I have read of pictures," she said, gazing up in his face, "hut never saw one. It is a real picture of me you will make?" The artless appealing of the child went to the 'young man's heart. He would as soon have joined in bantering her as in bantering a sister. He took her hand as he replied, "I will make as good a picture of yott as 1 can, if you will let me a picture like one of these," and he opened his portfolio, which contained various sketches. "Oh! how beautiful!" cried the child. It was evident that a new world had opened to her. She gazed breathlessly at sketch after sketch till the last had been examined, and then heaved a deep sigh. "Please sir," said she timidly, at last, "will you give me my picture when you have painted it?" "No'" interposed the other young man, "but we will give you a dollar." She turned to the speaker, let go the hand she had been holding, and drew herself up with sudden haughtiness. "I do not want your dollar she said," with proud delicacy. She was turningto escape, when the artist, recovering her hand, said soothingly, "never mind him, my dear, I will paint two pictures, and give you one. Come, will that do?" Reassured, the child took the position indicated to her, and Clarence Harvard, for that was the young artist's name, began rapidly painting. Before noon, two hasty sketches in oil were finished. "There," he said, drawing a long breath, "you have been as quiet as a little mouse, and I am a thousand times obliged toyou. Take that home," and he handed her the sketch, "and may be, some of these days, you will think of him who gave it to you." "That I will, all my life long," artlessly said the child, rapturously gazing on her new posession with an enthusiasm partly born of the artistsoul within her, and partly the result of a child's pride in what is its own especial property. "Oh! yes," interposed the other youth, "you will promise to be his wife some day, won't you, Miss Cobwebs?" The child's eyes flashed as she turned on the ; speaker. Her instinct, from the first, had made her dislike the sneering man. She stamped her pretty foot, and retorted, saucily, "I'll never be , yours, at any rate, you old snapping turtle," and, as if expecting to have her ears boxed, if caught, she darted away, disappearing rapidly down the path whence she had come. , Clarence Harvard broke into a merry laugh, in
which, alter a moment of anger, his companion joined him, "Vou deserve it richly," said Clarence, "its a capital nickname, too; 1 shall call you nothing else, after this, than snapping-lurtle." "Hang the little jade!" was the reply. "One wouldn't think she was so smart. But what a shrew she will make! I pity the clodhopper she marries; she'll henpeck him out of all peace, and send him to an early grave." Nothing more was said, for at that moment a dinner horn sounded, and the young men rose to return to the roadside inn where they had stopped the night before. Their time was limited, and that evening, knapsacks on back, they were miles away from the scene of the morning. A week later they were both home in the city, Clarence hard at work perfecting in his art, and his companion di-lving at Coke and Blackstone. Years passed. Clarence Harvard had risen to be an artist of eminence. His pictures were the fashion; he was the fashion himself. Occasionly, as he turned over his older sketches, he would Come upon "Cobwebs," as he was accustomed, laughingly, to call the sketch of the child; and then for a moment he would wonder what had become of the original; but, except on these rare occasions, he never even thought of her. Not so with the child herself. Nellie Bray was a poor orphan, live daughter of a decayed gentleman, who, after her lather's death, had been adopted by a maternal uncle, living in a wild, upland farm among the Alleghanies. Her childhood, from her earliest recollection, had been spent amid the drudgery of a farm. This rude but free life had given her the springy Mep and ruddy cheek, which had attracted the young artist's attention, but it had failed to satisfy the higher aspirations of her nature aspirations which had been born in her blood, and which came of generations of antecedent culture. The first occasion on which these higher impulses had found congenial food was when she had met the young artist. She carried her sketch home, and would never part with it. His refined, intellectual face, haunted all her day dreams. From that hour, a new element entered into her life ; she became conscious that there were other people beside the dull, plodding ones with w hom her lot had been cast ; she aspired to rise to the level of such ; all her leisure hours were spent in studying; gradually, through her influence, her uncles household grew more or less refined ; and,
finally, her uncle himself became ambitious for Nellie, and, as he had no children, consented, at his wifes entreaty, to send the young girl to a first class boarding school. At eighteen the barefooted rustic, whom the voung artist had sketched, had dawned into a beautiful and accomplished woman, who, after having carried off the highest prizes at school, was the belle of the country town, near which her uncle' possessions lay. Kor. meantime, that Uncle hail been gruVing rich, like most prudent farmers, partly from the judicious invesimentsof his iarings. But, in spite of her many suitors, Nelly had never vet seen a face that appeared
to her half so handsome as the manly one of the young artist, whose kind, gentle words and manner, eight years before, had lived in her memory ever since. Often, after a brilliant company, where she had been queen of the evening, she found herself wondering, in her chamber, if she should ever see that face agnin. "Are you going to the ball next week ?" said one of Nellie's friends to her. "They say it is to be the most splendid affair we have ever had. My brother (ells mu Mr. Mowbray, the eloquent lawyer from Philadelphia, who is in the great case here, is to be present." '1 expect logo was the answer. But Mr. Mowbray being there won't be the inducement." "Oh, you are so beautiful, you can afford to be indifferent. But all the other girls are dying at the very thought." The ball came off, and was really superb. Mr. Mowbray was there, too, with all his laurels. The "great will case," which had agitated the country for so many months, had been concluded that very day, and been decided in favor of his client. No such speech as Mr. Mowbray's, it was universally admitted, had ever been heard in the court-house. Its alternate wit and argument had carried the jury by storm, so that they had given a verdict without leaving the box. The young lawyer, at that ball, was like a hero fresh from the battle field. A hundred eyes followed his form, a hundred fair bosoms beat quicker as he approached. But he saw only one in all that brilliant assembly and it was Nellie.
Her graceful form, her intelligent face, her style and beauty, arrested him the moment he entered ; he saw that she had no peer in the room ; and he devoted himself to her almost exclusively, throughout the evening. Nor had Nellie ever shone so brilliantly. She could not but feel that it was a great compliment to be thus singled out from among so many. But she had a motive f'T exerting herself lo shine. At the very first glance, she recognized in Mr. Mowbray the companion of the artist who had sketched her eight years back. In hopes to hear something of his friend, she turned the conversation upon art, the city, childhood, and everything else that she thought might be suggestive ; but in vain. She could not be more definite, because she wished to conceal her own indentity, for it was evident Mr. Mowbray did not know her ; besides, her natural delicacy shrank from inquiring about a perfect stranger. The next day, as soon as etiquette allowed, Mr. Mowbray was seen driving up to the farm. Nellie appeared beautifully , attired, in a neat morning dress, and looking so fresh and sparkling, in spite of the late hours of the night before, that it could hardly bo considered flattery wh n her visitor assured her that she looked lovelier than her loveliest roses. Mr. Mowbray was full of regrets at cruel fate, which, he said, compelled him 10 return lo the city. He could not conceal his joy when Nellie's aunt, inadvertently, and much to Nellie's secret annoyance, let out the
fact that in the fall Nelly was to pay a visit to an old schoolmate in Philadelphia, Miss Mary Stanley. "Ah, indeed !" cried the visitor, and his face flushed with pleasure. "I am so delighted. I have the honor to know Miss Stanley. You will be quite at home in her set," he ad ed, bowing to Nellie ; "for it is, by common consent, the most cultivated in the city." Nellie bowed coldly. Her old distrust in the speaker had revived again. Through all the polish of his manner, and in spite of his deferential admiration, she recognized the same sneering spirit, which believed in nothing true or good, from which she had shrunk instinctively when a child. During the interview she was civil but no more. She could not, however, avoid being beautiful; nor could she help speaking with the
intelligence and spirit which always characterized her conversation; and so Mr. Mowbray went
away more in love than ever.
A few months later found Nellie, domiciled for
the winter in Philadelphia. Hardly had she
changed her traveling dress, when her friend
came to her chamber.
I want you to look your prettiest to-night,"
said Miss Stanley; "for I expect a crowd of beaus, and among them Mr. Mowbray, the brilliant young lawyer, and Mr. Harvard. The former claims to have met you, and raves everywhere about your beauty. The latter, who is a great artist, and very critical, laughs at his friend's
enthusiasm, and says he would bet you were on
ly a common rustic, with cheeks like peonies. So 1 wish you lo convert the heretic."
"Only a common rustic, said Nelly to her
self, heartily; and she resolved to be as beautiful as possible. Perhaps, too, there was a half formed resolve to bring the offender to her feet
in revenge. A great surprise awaited her. When she entered the drawing-room that evening, the first stranger she saw was the identical Clarence, who had painted her as a barefooted girl; and then, for the first time, it flashed upon her that this was the great artist who had spoken contemptuously of her charms. Her notion proved correct; for Miss Stanley, immediately advancing, presented the stranger to her as Mr. Harvard. A glance into his face reassured Nellie of his identity, and satisfied her that he had not recognized her; and then she turned away, alter a haughty courtesy, to receive the eager felicitations of Mr. Mowbray. There were conflicting emotions at war in her bosom that evening. All her old romance about Clarence was warred upon by her indignation, as a belief at his slighting remarks and at his
present indifference; for he had made no attempt to improve his introduction, but left her entirely to the crowd of other beaus, prominent among whom was Mr. Mowbray. Piuued and excited,
Nellie was even more beautiful and witty than
usual. Late in the evening she consented, at
Miss Stanley's request, lo play and sing. She
first dashed off' some brilliant waltzes, then played bits of a few operas, and at last at Mr. Mow bray's solicitations, sang several ballads. Pew persons had such a sympathetic voice, and Clarence, who was passionaiely fond of muic, drew near, fascinated. Alter singing, "Are you sure the news is true?" "Bonnie Dundee," and others which had been asked for, Clarence said: "AniMnay I, too, ask for my favorite?" "Certainly, sir," she answwered with the least bit of hauteur. "What is it?" "Oh! too sad, perhaps, for so gay a company. 'The Land of the Keal.1 I hardly dale hope you will consent. It was her favorite also, and her voii-e slightly trembled as she began. From this or some other cause, she sang it as even she had never sung
ii oeiore, ana wnen sue nnisiiea her eyes were full of tears. She would have given much to have seen Clarence's face, but she could not trust herself to look up; and partly to conceal her emotion, partly by a sudden impulse, she struck into the Miserere of "II Trovatore." Nobody there had ever before realized th full tragedy of that saddest, yet most beautiful dirge, riven the selfish heart of Mr. Mowbrav was affected.
When the last chord had died away he was the first one to sjieak, and he was profuse in admiration and thanks. But Clarence said nothing. Nellie, at last, looking towards him, saw that his eyes were dim as well as her own. She felt that his silence whs the most eloquentof compliment, and from that hour forgave him him for having called her a "common rustic." Clarence soon became constant visitor at Mr. Stanley's. But he always found Mr. Mowbray there before him. who endeavored in every way to monopolize Nellie' attention. Reserved, if not absolutely haughty, Clarence left the field generally to his rival; and Nellie, half indignant,
was sometimes tempted to affect gayety iu Mowbray's company which she was far from feeling. Occasionally, however, Clarence would assert his equal right to share the company of Miss Stanley's guest, and at such times his eloquent talk soon eclipsed even that of the brilliant advocate. As Nellie said in her secret heart, it was Ruskiii against Voltaire. And the more Clarence engaged in these conversations, the more he felt
that, lor the first tune in his hie, he had met one who understood him. One morning the footman came up to the little paneled boudoir where Nellie and her friend were sitting, saying that Mr. Mowbray was in the parlor, and solicited a private interview with the former. Nellie rose at once, for she foreboded what was coming, and was only loo glad to have this early opportunity of stopping attentions which had become unendurable to her. Mr. Mowbray was evidently embarrassed, an unusual thing for him. But he rallied, and came directly to the purpose of his visit, which was, as Nellie had suspected, to tender her his heart and hand. He was proceeding in a strain of highflown compliment, when Nellie said, with an impatient wave of the hand. "Spare me, sir. You did not always talk so." He looked his astonishment. "Many years ago I answered you the same question which you now ask. He colored up to the temples. "I surely do not deserve," he then said, "to be made n jest of." "Neither do I make a jest of you. Do you not
know me.' "I never saw you till this summer." "You saw me eight years ago. You and
friend were on a pedestrian tour. You met a little barefooted girl, whom your friend made a
sketch ol, and whom you jeered at and then nick
named." And rising, she made a mock courtesy, for she saw she was now recognized: I am "Cob
webs, at your service, sir!
The discomfited suitor never forgot the look of
disdain with which Nelly courtesied to him.
His mortification was not lessened when, on leav
ing the house, he met Clarence on the doorsteps. He tried in vain to assume an indifferent aspect,
but he felt that he had failed, and that his rival
suspected i is rejection. Nelly could not avoid laughing at the crestfallen look of her old enemy. Her whole manner changed, however, when Clarence entered. Instead of the triumphant, snucy tormentor, she became the conscious, trembling woman. Clarence, who had longed for, yet dreaded this interview, took courage at once, and in a few manly words, eloquent with emotion, laid his fortune at his Nellie's feet. . Poor Nelly felt more like crying with joy than anything else. But a little of the old saucy spirit was left in her. She thought she owed it to her sex not to surrender too easily ; and so she said, archly glancinir up at Clarence : "Do you know, Mr. Harvard, whom you are proposing to ?" I am no heiress, no high-born
city belle, hut only let me see what is it .' only a common country rustic." And she rose and courtesied to him.
For Heaven's sake don't bring that foolish
speech up against me !" he cried, passionately, trying to take her hand. "I have repented it a thousand limes daily, since the unlucky moment
I was betrayed into saying it. Do me the jus
tice to believe that I never meant it to be perso
nal."
Well, then, I will say nothing more of that
matter. But this is only a whim of yours.
How is it, that, having known me so long, you
only now discover my merits 1"
'Known you so long ! 'Yes, sir," demurely. 'Known you ?" For eight years." 'Good heavens !" lie cried suddenly, his whole
face lighting. "How blind I have been ! Why did I not see it before ? You are" ' ''Cobwebs," said Nellie, she taking the words out of his mouth, her whole face sparkling with glee ; and she drew off and gave another sweeping courtesy. . Before she had recovered herself, however, a pair of strong arms were around her, for Clarence divined now that he was loved. Nellie, all along, had a half secret fear, that when her suitor knew the past, he might not be so willing to marry the barefooted girl as the brilliant belle, but all this was now gone. Two months later there was a gay weddihg at St, Mark's. A month after that, a bridal pair,
returning from the wedding tour, drove up to a
handsome house in Philadelphia. As Clarence led Nellie through the rooms, in which his per
fect taste was seen everywhere, she gave way to exclamation after exclamation of delight. At last they reached a tiny boudoir, exquisitely carpeted and curtained. A jet of gas, burning in an alabaster vase, diffused a soft light throuirh the room. A solitary picture hung on the walls. It was the original sketch of her, eight years before, now very elegantly framed. The tears gushed to Nellie's eyes, and she threw herself into her husband's arms. "All 1 how I love you !" she cried. Nobody who sees that picture suspects its origin. It is too sacred a subject for either Nellie or Clarence to allude to. But it was only the other day that a celebrated leader of fashion said to a friend : "What a queer pet name Mr. Harvard has for his beautiful bride! In anybody else except a genius it would be eccentric But you do not know how pretty it sounds from his lips." "What is it?" "Cobwebs!" . The object of nearly all great talkers seems to be to excite their own admiration and they never fail.
