IteftE was a brilliant assembly at the princely residence of Colonel Raymond, in Philadelphia, and among its tjay throng were numbered all the wealth, beauty, and fishion of the Quaker city. Conspicuous among the number was one. who. from her proud, 3ret graceful manner, her dignified step, and a certain air of conscious superiority with which she moved about, one would almost be certain she bore the queenly name of Isabel. She was richly dressed with the most exquisite taste, in colors that suited charmingly hor dark brunette complexion. Ana a string of pearls looked impressinglj* lovely twined among the braids of her raven hair. She was beautiful, with her dark lustrous eyes, but it was not the beauty of feature, for they were by no means perfect. But it was the soul speaking out in every lineament of her face, the varying expression of her eyes, that beamed in sympathy with her thoughts, that dazzled and enchanted ,all around her. Such was Isabel Walton 'at thfrAae we introduce her to our readers—yoffTiJ and beautiful, the reigning £elle of ~fhe. season, the only and petted cbjld*of a 'rfl*^d*4Sferchant, with thousands at hej '^bvp'an4 surely if happiness can bevfStind1 in aught of worldly goo^5he musvije in perfect possession of that (&vA/d treasure. 'Tis jhe morningilAfter the party, and Isabel is reclining up6n luxuriant couch in her chamber. ArouWher are strewed various articles of dresarshetwtb the evening previous,fike so many trophies of her conquests, they vividly recall all the gay scenes in which she mingled a fbw hours ago. But, is sTiie happy Let us intrude ourselves into the inner sanctuary of her thoughts, and see for ourselves. "What does all this signify?" she mentally exclaimed "this gay. trifling, butterfly life I am leading! Surely it cannot be answering the end of my existence, to be thus whirling continually in the vortex of fashion. 'Tis true I made brilliant conquests last evening, but what was it all worth? it was not myself alone, but my wealth that attracted them. 0, there is •something higher something more worthy of an immortal being, than this selfish way of spending my time would that I could satisfy this inward craving of my soul."

She lav indulging in this train of thought, until suddenly recollecting that an important alteration she wished made in a dress |that was at the seamstress's ought to be iordered immediately, she determined, as a sort of novelty, to order her carriage and go herself to see about it.

She was soon seated in her carriage and ^rapidly rolling along the streets, the envy jOf many a passer-by who thought she imust be the happiest being on earth.— ^While she is on her way we will precede iier to the place of destination, uud {jlflUCC iat the inmntes before she arrives. Seated at the window of a room in the lower story of an old house in the outskirts of the city,

a sweet, pale looking girl, bending low over a rich brocade dress, on which she is stitching intently, only stopping now and then to avert her weary eyes. "Mother, I am so tired," she exclaimed, placing her hand upon her aching side, "and those folds have all to be put on yet. How shall I ever get this dress finished in lime!" •j "Don't worry about it, Ediih poor child, you have set up all night working upon it. ,1 wish I were able to help you, but I am only a poor invalid, and cannot even do anything towards taking care of myself." "Thrre, mother, don't say anything .more about your inability to labor you shall be supported as long as I have strength to work, ana I have faith that our Heaven* Jy .Father will provide for us in some way, even if I should sick." "Yes, Edith, he is the God of the widow and fatherless, and were it not for the childlike trust 1 have learned to place in him, I could not bear up under the hardship of our lot." "Thanks, dear mother, for teaching me the same beautiful faith it has been my solace in many a dark hour, But here~*i$ Miss Walton who would have dreamed she would have come herself?"

Isabel on alighting from her carriage hesitated a moment about cutciiug dwelling so uncouth in appearance, but at length ventured to knock upon the first door she saw and it was opened by Edith Ashton, who cordially bade her visitor welcome to her humble home. And thus for the first time in her life, the pelted daughter of the millionaire trod the uncarpeted floor of poverty. "I am sorry, Miss Walton," said Edith, "that your dressi is not completed. I have done my utmost to have it ready for you, and I will finish it by twelve, if that will do." "How much more have you to do to it now!" «»It is nearly completed, except the folds, but those will be the most difficult to do." ••Well, I have concluded that the material is so rich in itself, that any trimming would look heavy and out of place on it. so I will not have* the folds. It was to attend to this matter that I called here this morning, and I am ghd I came in season to prevent vour doing so much unnecessary work. 1 will wait until it is finished, if you please, and take it home with mo in the carriage.** "Thank vou it will save me long walk, and 1 will finish it as soon as possible."

"I am very grateful that Edith is spared to much work, said Mrs. Ashton, "for she hat set up all night, for fear she would have to disappoint you, and I know she is very tired."* "Why, Miss Ashton, is it possible yon have set up all night on my account? I am very sorry,—for, although I bought this dress expressly to wtar this evening.

And before Edith had time to thank her, she was'on her way home, far happier than she had been for months. 'Can it be,' thought "she, 'that one simple act of kindness can make the world ever wear such a different aspect? How gretaful she seemed for a few paltry dollars, which I have heretofore so recklessly squandered. Henceforth, God helping me, I will seek my happiness in doing good and with this resolution welling forth from her own happy heart, she ascended with a* light step the marble steps of her splendid home. That night there was a bundle deposited tl»c iuuui oooupipf] by the Ashtons. that sent a thrill of gratitude through their hearts towards her who out of her abundance had not forgotten the poor.

'Yes, Edith, he has not forsaken us. Blessed be his name.'

,, CHAPTER II.'

J,, The next morning, punctual to her agreement, Edith having seen that her mother was comfortable, started off to visit her new found friend. On her way she met her cousin, Edward Belmont, who accompanied her to the door. Wiil trembling hand she rung the bell, for she could hardly mnke it seem real that she was to be made welcome in that princely dwelling. A servant ushered her into the drawingroom, and Isabel soon made her appearance. "Good morning. Edith. I knew it Was you, for I was looking out of the window as yo\i passed it. llow is your mother this morning?" "Much better and I hate left her so comfortable in the warm wrapper you gave her. I never can, repay you, Miss Walton ai on. '. "0. yes you can, by Just obliging me in two things the first is that you will hereafter call me Isabel, and the second is that you will accompany me out on a shopping expedition this morning. 'I will do so. most gladly, if that will repay you. But I am not dressed suitably to go out with you. •0 I will attend to that matter. By the way, who was that noble looking fellow you was talking with just as you passed my window! He must be talented. I know, with that lofty, intellectual brow. He happened to look up as he passed, and I caught his eye, and sttcA an eye. Why Ediih, where did you find such & splendid sweethart!" 'He is no sweethart of mine. I can assure you, but my cousin, Edward Belmont. He is talented, however, and glo-! riously go. too. and it is his highest ambition to employ his talents in the ministry.* •Then he is going to college now, I presume.' 0. no I wish he were, It will be a long time before he will have that privilege. I am afraid, for although he has a]

have to take many a lecture for this but let the world know that Isabel Walton is above such folly as prompts them to pass by with looks of disdain those who are far their superiors, merely because they are poor. Ah, there is Cousin Frank, riding by in his chaise, he is looking, too, but not in scorn, I assure you. He is so intent in looking at you, that he hardly gave me a passing bow." am sorry, Isabel, if by being your companion this morning I shall place you under the censure of your friends but as to withering looks from those above me in station, 1 have got quite used to that, since I have had to toil for my bread.

Having completed their purchases, the girls hastened home, and having laid off their things, Isabel bade Edith be seated while she unfolded her plan for aiding her cousin Edward. ^9 "Now, Edith," she'said, I hive betni thinking, ever since I have been out, how I could assist that splendid cousin of yours to get his collegiate education^"And now I have got a plan, which you must aid me in carrying out." "Only tell me what it is, and I will do all in my power to assist you for nothing would delight me more than to see Edward in the way of realizing his dearest hopes. ci" 'Well, this is the plan my father gives me a most magnificent quarterly allowance of money more than three times sufficient for my reasonable wants, and propose to pay your cousin's college expenses out of that, with this provision that you will not enlighten him from whence it comes." "0, Isabel, if such is your liberality, you must have had rich experience in giving, and made the heart of many a fellow creature leap for joy." "Be sparing of your praises. Edith, for I have only just begun to find the happiness that flows into the heart from doing good. Tell your cousin to make arrangements immediately for entering college, and every quarter there shall be sent him a sura sufficient to defray all expenses.— But don't betray me, I beg of you." "I will keep your secret never fear me. And now I will hasten home to my mother,—and wont I have good news for Edward when he comes in this evening?— Good-bye, till I acc

For along time after Edith had gone Isabel was lost in thought. That upturned face which she saw from the window in the morning, had become indelibly stamped upon her heart. "Can it be that I love him?" thought she "that I have spurned

So absorbed was she in building air-cas-tles like these, that Cousin Frank had entered unperceived, and stood gazing mischievously into her abstracted face. 'Pray, what is the matter, Bel?' said he 'you look as though you were making a voyage in dream-land,.or else had fallen into a love reverie. Say, has the invincible Bel surrendered her heart at length to some fortunate swain?' 'Why, Frank, how foolish you talk.— Just as though I could not have a moment's sober thought without it savored of love. I think you must judge me by yourself, for I have not forgotten the admiring looks you bestowed this morning on a certain young lady who was with me.' t&tws ffcgj! 'Ah, there you liaWW^Bel! it wKiVto inquire about that same young lady, that brought me. here tki« mormng. There, am I not Frank by nature, as well as by name?' i| 'Yes, for once you have owned up. That lady was Edith Ashton. She has been my seamstress for some time past, and having taken a great fancy to her, I am going to make a station as lofty as mine.' •Edith Ashton! What a sweet name and it sounds so familiary on my ear, too. Let me see. Methinks I remember when quite a boy, of playing the gallant to a little fair haired cherub by that name.— But, at any rate, I must see her again. Whether rich or poor, she would adori^ any station.' •So I think and you know that old bachelor friend of yours, who has been sighing for a housekeeper so long, don' you think that Mrs. Ashton would be a suitable one for him? To be sure she is quite an invalid now. but she has no dis ease upon her.and in a little while.by good nursing, she will get quite strong. And then it would be such a nice home for Edith. What do you think of the plan? •Capital. I will speak to him this very afternoon about it, and sf he thinks favorably of it, I will see Mrs. Ashton about it, myself, this evening-* •No wait until to-morrow morning, and I will go with you and introduce you.' •Very well but now I'm off to see about that housekeeping business. Don't lose yourself in the mazy labyrinths of dream-land while I am gone.*

It is not a dream, for mother can vouch for its reality,'. •Yes* Edward, you have had most singular. fortune to-day. and all you have got to do is to improve this golden opportunity,' said Mrs. Ashton. "God be praised," said Edward, fervently "'tis the hand of a merciful Providence, and I will follow wheresoever it leads." •How soon can you get ready to go?" said Edith, "because I must finish those shirts you, know."

"By the last of next week. I should like to go, for it is ,the commencement of the term then, and I should like to begin fairly."

Well, I will see that your wardrobe is in order before you go. Now I shall have the pleasure of calling you the Rev. Mr. Belmont. Don't that sound distinguished, even now?',' "Ah, Edith, don't build your hopes of my success too high, for I may fail. 'Ti not my ambition to gain a great name in the world, but to do good in my Master's cause." "That is a laudable ambition, Edward, said Mrs. Ashton, and could my departed sister have heard such words from her son, she would'have felt her- cup of joy was full. Strive to emulate her Christian spirit, Edward, and you can bat succeed." "I will try to. dear aunt, and let me beg that you will often write me when I am away, and do not be sparing of yo advice, for I shall need it in the tions which beset a young man in college.'' "Yes, you shall hear from us often.' said Edith, and we shall expect you will return us the favor. Are you going so soon?" "I must, Edith, for it is getting late, and I have considerable writing to dg yet. before I ship. Good night."

t:"'

Thus the trio parted, each with hi hopes for the future. W CHAPTER III.

The following morning Isabel and her cousin Frank visited Mrs. Ashton. and informed her of their friend's desire that she should become his housekeeper. She thankfully accepted the offer, and before they left, arrangements were made for her removal in the course of a'fe weeks. "Edith is an angel upon earth," said Frank, after they had gained the street. "What heavenly blue eyes, and those au burn curls how graceful ibey droop about her white throat. I almost envy Mr. Ea ton for the prospect of having such a vinity an inmate of his dwelling.,r "I am glad you admire my new friend so much. I myself was struck with her pure lovliness." "Mr. Eaton made very particular enquiries whether she was young and huul?otnr. Do you think, Isabel, that she would have an «id man just for the sake of a hume?" "Why no.'indeed. Frank. I don't think she would but suppose that she should, what great concern of yours is it?" 0. nothing only I think it would be a pity for her to throw herself away in that manner." "Ah. Cousin Frank, I have penetration enough to see that it something to you. I rather think that Cupid's arrows have made sad havoc with your heart since you met Edith Ashton!" "Well, have it so, if you will. I* think she is the sweetest girl .in all Philadelphia, my Cousin Isabel excepted, of course.' 'I thought you were going to dine with us, to-day,' said Isabel, as her cousin Frank was preparing to leave her on the doorsteps.

I did think of it,' replied he. 'but I have an engagement so that it will be impossible. Make an apology to your father. Adieu.'

Isabel in her eagerness to carry out her plan, had forgotten that her purse was quite too low to give any aid until her father gave the next quarterly allowance, and she was sadly at a loss how she could manage, without informing him of her scheme. Not that-she fenred he would be averse to her spending the money, but she was afraid that he might not consider it maidenly delicacy to assist a young man. and a stranger too. While she was busy with these thoughts, a servant announced that her father wished to see her in the library. •Good morning, father. I have not seen you before, to-day.' said Isabel, twining her arms affectionately about her parent's neck.'"'

*1 am nicely, darling, and, methinks, you are in fine health and sqirits too.' •So I am but what means ihis trunk all packed so nicely.' .'That is why I sent for you. to inform you that I have had a letter from Boston, that requires my immediate attention there, and I shall start this afternoon for New York, and-remain there a week, and then go to Boston. Here is some money for you. more than I usually give you, for I am not certain how soon I shall return.' 'Thank you, father, but how lonesome 1 shall be.' 'Have you not some young friend that you would like to have come and stay with you while I am gone?' •Yes, father, I have, one. a sweet girl of my acquaintance, that I think would like to come.' •Very well now Isabel, you may or der dinner to be served, for I am impatient to be on my way.'

After her father's departure, Isabel sent for Edith, and made an arrangement to have her stay with her while be was away. She also made ber the bearer of a well-filled purse to Edward Belmont who in a week from that time started for Andover Theological Seminary, prefer ring to receive his education in good old Massachusetts. The weeks flew by, and Isabel had the pleasure of welcoming her father home safely returned from hisjournry. •Did you bare,a pleasant time, father? said she, after ^getting him bis slippers, and seeing him comfortably seated by the fire in bis arm chair. •Quite so, my dear and I enjoyed myself particularly well on my journey from

Y. to Boston for I chanced to have a moat talented and agreeable companion in the person of a young man from Phil •delph)*, who was going to Andover Theological Seminary to fit for the ministry.

Isabel was. busily searchjpg upon {he carpet for something just, at that moment, or her father would nave noUced the blush of joy and pride that glowed upon ber speaking face. h/ r-sBm ,,Two years flew rapidly By, making great changes in the life history of our heroine and her friends. Her cousin, Frank Evans, had long since led Fdith Ashton to the altar a happy bride. And Mrs. Ashton still retained her offioe of house keeper. As for Isabel, although still sought for, and surrounded by admirers, she was still unmarried. Some thought she was the victim of a hopeless love and others that she was obstinately resolved to become an old maid. Whatever the secret was. Isabel thought it her own, and kept it locked safely in her heart.— Among other changes that had taken place within the two years, was the death of the old and venerable pastor who had preached in the church where Isabel attended. ever since she was a child, As his place was.still vacant, numerous were the candidates that officiated each succeeding Sabbath.

She look her seat in the pew wun* trembling heart, and dared not trust herself to look up, until the peafing sounds of the voluntary made her aware that the minister had arrived. She raised her eyes to the pulpit, and a thrill of wildest joy filled her soul. It was he. The hero of all her dreams, the being whom she had learned to link wilh all her hopes on earth, the unconscious of her liberality. She longed to hear him speak. And when she heard the deep, rich tones of his voice as it ascended iu prayer, she berit low her head to hide her emotion. He read as his text, 'Cast thy bread upon ihe waters, and thou shalt find it after many days,-' and from the commencement to the clote of his discourse, he kept the audience as it were spell-bound by his sublime eloquence. He spoke of the influence of a good deed as none could speak who had not felt its experience in his own life. Every one among the audience was incited to fresh deeds of benevolence, but on one heart present those words told wilh strange power. Mr. Wajton was in raptures, and being a prominent member i'11 the church, through his influence a unanimous vole was taken to give a call to the Rev. Mr. Belmont, to become their pastor. It is needless to say that he did not refuse so advantageous an offer, and his ordination took place immediately. One evening as Isabel and her father were seated together in the drawing-room they were surprised by the entrance of Frank and Edith, accompnniod by their..n)inistery"^Slie w'as introduced to him for the first time, and after I he usual congratulations were over, Edith said: 'Now, Cou-in Edward, that you have become comfortably settled in life. I think it high time that you were informed who was your benefactress.' •Nothing would delight me more,' said he. his face showing the most extreme curiosity.' 'She is here.' said she and taking his hand she led him to where Isabel sat.

He stood for a moment spaechless with emotion, then sinking upon his knees, he poured forth at her feet a tide of eloquence such as hud never before passed his lips Mr. Walton wept for joy. and clasped hi daughter again and again to his heart say ing that he had never half appreciated her before, and wondering how she could have spared enough from lur private purse to perform such a glorious deed.

Frank was quite astonished that his wife should have been in possession of such secret so long, and he hot have found it out till now. And the first time he saw Isabel alone, he did not fail to joke her about the young minister being in some way connec ted with a voyage he thought she was once taking to dream-land. This was not the only time the young pastor visited the house ofMr. Walton and indeed, it was suou whispered about that he made more pastoral visits there than to any of his other parishioners, so that people were not very much surprised when it was announced that the Rev. Mr. Belmont was soon to lead to the altar the beautiful Isabel Walton.

Long and happily did she live wilh her heart's choice, and never did she regret the performance of that one deed, that had proved such a source of true happiness to herself and of such lasting usefulness to him she lovfed best on earth. And thus, from the gay, trifling girl, she became the humble and devoted helptr of ber husband in his labors of love.',» W ='"4, Mk

His parents were Jews, and he adhered to that faith through life.

A Tot OH STORV.—The Woodstock Vt. Age tells a tough story about a couple of cows in that town: A Mr. Perry, one morning, discovered the leg of a cow sticking out of an old well near his house. The cow was hanging in.the well with her head downwards, her size being too large to admit of her slipping entirely in the opening at the top. On being extricated from her situation, a second cow was found in the bottom of the well, only in a reversed position, the head being up. An apparatus was arranged and cow number two was raised. But the best partof the whole story is, the cows came out unscratehed and in less than an hour were engaged in a Jard fight with each jptber.
