I see how you all play upon this poor gen-

help feeling the more piiiiiful over him; but
little body however proceeded as expeditious-
ly as possible to lay her scanty wardrobe as
straiglitly as possible in a wootlt-n box, which
was both small enough and large enough ;
to collect her needles and her knitting; a
few letters, carcfullytied tip with a piece of
ch ronolouically that the paper had been
made full twenty years ago, all of them writ-
ten in ‘.1 neat masculine hand, like that of a
school usher, and dated as many years back;
to look very p‘tl'llCl1lt't.'ly at and sigh over it
little iiiorsel of sandy hair; to stroke her
favorite piissy for the last time; and then to
take lH.‘i' clogs, her reticule,and hcr umbrella;
to look at an old suinmer house; to gather
two or three leaves from an old tree; and
then to pass through those inliospital doors
into the trifle, wide, bleak and cold world,

There are some hearts like some vegeta-

DEAF UNCLE JEl7FEI’i.Y
AND THE LITTLE OLD MAID.
Cotzclurlecl.
Little Fanny Carr lifted up her eyes 5; saw
thoseoftheir formidable visiter fixcd full upon
her face, whereupon she rose from her seat
and got otit ofthe room as quick as possible.
Pray who is that little thing ? asked uti-
cle Jeffery of Mrs. Pokcri ham, as they were
left together in the ovi-ning——pray who is
that little thing that has just gone oitt ofthe
room ? _
Do you mean Fanny Carr .7 O, she is a
little creature that has seen better days, and
we lot her be here because my feelings
won't let me send her away. She is so hap-
py, and so attached tons poor thing, and
she just makes herself useful by doing any
triflethat falls in her way. She keeps the
keys of the store room, and the tea caddy,
and the wine cellar, and the beer, and the
cellaret, and she fills up her time with sev-
ing for the girls, and she has the care ofthe
linen, and she makes all the pastry. and does
the preserves--but what I most prize Fanny
Carr for is, she is such a good nurse---she
nursed the children through all their mala-
dies, and never left them when we had the
scarlet fever ; every body said that she
would catch it, but she never did, though she
was with them day and night. Yes Fanny
Carr is a most excellent nurse !
She is your house keeper, and your cook
and your plain sewer and your nurse!
0, no, uncle, I don’t give her any wages.
A servant without wages?
Uncle, I see that you don’t like to see
Fanny Carr sitting at the same table with
on. I am sure I beg your pardon, but I
did not think of it. I don’t much think she
would like to eat with the servants, but I’ll
see. At all events, I can send her herdin-
ner tip to her own room.
Let the little thing stay, said uncle Jeff
I am not dt-iif——I told you all before that I
was not deaf.
0 Daniel! exclaimed Fanny Carr, with
the tears in her eyes, how can you so mis-
renrescnt me? -
'[-It-V? hey? What does she say .7 asked
uncle.Jefft;-ry.
She says, sir, that she is quite, worn out
,w:i,t,li,t_lLe,.I_rotJ_blc,_.of Sl.l0ul.lll2' a-. rutining.er.-
run S.
0 Daniel! ejaciilated the little old maid.
Anilslie says that if you don’t go aw:-iy
very soon, she must. But marnma is very
angry with her for grumbling, and I sliotild
n’t wonder if she was to show her the way
to the door.
The little old maid burst into tears.
Hey? hey? \V'hat’s all this ? ejaculated
the deaf gentleiiian.
O inammzi you .nre here, and it's high
time. said Master D-niel,ns Mrs. Pokenhain
entered. If I hail not been here to iiieddle,
Fanny Carr was managing deaf uncle Jeff
in fine style.
Fanny Carr. said Mi's._ Pokenliain, your
conduct has been more and more extraordi-
nary every day.
’ VVhat have Idonc? exclaimed the little
old maid.
Yoti have been trying to manage my
poor silly uncle-—that has been plain enough
in my eyes for a long time. You tintle af-
ter him and go about (etching. and carrying,
and coaxing. and looking like a lamb, and
you know that you have your own private
ends in it all.
What ends can 1 have ? exclaimed Fanny.
Why, Miss Cftl‘l','if I must speak the
plain ti'uth—and Iam a plain spoken per-
son, yoti know, not much given to flattcry—
I must say, that I see clearly enough what
you are aiming at. When one party is
foolish and the other is artful, it does not
need much discernment to see what is in the
wind.
What do you mean ma’am .7 exclaimed
the little old maid in an agony. ,
Why, I mean, Miss Carr, just this; you
see that my uncle is a silly old inan, and
rich, and you being clever and poor, yoti
may be able to catch him in a match. You
think that it would be a better thing to be
Mrs. Jeflery, and keep your carriage, than
even to live the idle life which you are now
living.
The idle life which I now lead ! exclaim-
ed the little old maid. I who toil in labors
which have no endthrough all the weary
days, without either thanks or wages l——and

You see that my uncle is half a fool, and
you think you can juggle him into marrying

. five sliiilingsin her pocket, looked mentally
round for a sltcltvr for her head, and having
bethouqh herself of one of Mrs. Pokenham’s
-liscziriled servants, who had inarried and
settled, determined tipoii seeking she.-ltcr
there.
In a little collageby the road side, as clean
as those tleut‘ cottages of England ever are.
with a neatly trimnied garden without, luxu-
rient in suinmer blossoiiiings, and with the
whitest of white curtains within, and the
rcddest of red floors, and the briglitest of
round tables. and the most resplendent of fire
places, sit the little old mriid, dressed as
ncatly as if fairy hands had been her tire-
woimin. and working at her needle as blithe-
ly as birds perform their daily task of sing-
ing. What though her five shillings was
very nearly exhausted, she could earn almost
Sixpence a (lay, and that was indeperidence,
and Ilt(IL’p"II(ICnCe was happiness.
There cameiigreat dust whilst the little
old miiitl was thus delving for happiness and
sixpr-use it day, and a noise of carriage
wheels; and looking up to see what might
be coming, she saw a plain, respcctale, grave
steady, brown visaged carriage and pair,
with a coachman in it brown livery before,
and a servant in brown livery seated in the
box behind. and lo and behold it stopped at
the very cottigc door where she was work-
ing; and so the little old maid jumped tip,
and threw doivn her cotton and her scissors
and hastened to tell them that it was all a
mistake, when, to her particular astonish-
ment, she saw deaf uncle Jeffery gctting
down the steps, and walking across the gar-
den and coming in at the door. And having
gone thus far, the deal old gentleman took
hold of her diminutive hand in his own great
gigantic paw, and gave it asqueeze which
almost made the little old maid cry out, which
however, shedid not do, for ladies of all
sizes very seldom cry out at a squeeze of
the hand, rr:-nernlly beating that sort of pain
D
very philosophically, and then uncle Jeffery
proceeded to draw one ofthe brightly rubbed
wooden bottom chairs to himself, for his
particular use. and to sit down upon it close
to the little old maid-
I hope you are well Mr. Jeffery, shouted
the little old inaitl ; it is very kind of you to
come and see me. I hope you are well.
Quite well, thank you, replied uncle Jef-
fery. &. now tell what you think has brought
me to see you.
Perhaps, said the little old maid, coloring
slightly, with the remains of a well whip-
ped, well worn down, well subdued pride,
perhaps you wanted me to do some_plam
work for you, Mr. Jeffery. I am taking in
plain work.
Not the thing that I want.
Then it must be something very particu-
lar indeed.
It is something very particular, indeed.
Oh, I’ll help you to find it. ,
That is very kind, and I hope you will‘.——

little old maid.
_'I_‘o you who love every thing from the
overflowing of your heart. but not me.
Poor Fanny looked infinitely perplexed.
I wish I could do any thing for you. ‘
You can. I told you I had a carriage
and servants, and house and furniture, aiid
plate and money, but I have no oneto share
them with me; no one to ride with me, sit
with me, walk with me, talk with me, take
the head of my table—to love me if they
could. In short I want a wife. Will you
take this troublesome office?
Oh, Mt‘._Jeffet‘y! exclziiined Fanny Carr,
with a face as red as blushes could make it.
The plain Brown chariot with the brown
horses and brown hammercloth and the
servants in brown liveries, drew tip with a
great dash, quite in an unusual manner, at
Mr. Pokenham’s door. It was very evident
that every thing belonging to the brown
affair was in a considerable state of excite-
ment, and some way or another the agitation
was communicated to the family’of the
Pokenham’s within. ’
Who can it be! exclaimed Mrs. Pokem-
haiii. Don’t bring them in here, but show
them into the drawing-room. I always like
to receive carriage people in the drawing-
rooml and, Jane, fetch me a clean pair of
gloves.
La, momma, a wedding l look at the
white favors ? exclaimed Miss Pokenham the
first.
Then there’s one chance less in the world,
said Miss Pokenham the second.
It’s all right. said Master Daniel, I like '
bridecake, and I don’t care how matiy people
marry and are miserable, so that I can get a
good feast by it.
I like the quarrelling quite as well as the
caktz, said Master Humphrey.
Look! exclaimed Mrs. Pokenham. I
declare if it is not uncle Jeff! I thought he’d
be glad to come back to us; I made‘ him so
very comfortable with his chickens and easy
chairs, that I thoiight he’d want
back again, if that little deceitful Fanny Carr
had not poisoned his mind.
He's a good customer, said Master Dan.
Mamma's legacy will keep well; it will
be fine high game, said Master Humphrey.’
How smart uncle Jeff is! said Miss
Pokenham the first. '

gret that she had been so inadvertent as to
place her highly respectable, and highly
endowed, and fortunately rich uncle Jeffery,
at the same table with a poor little minikin
finikin old maid. Fanny Carr was still tol-
erated, and uncle Jeffery seemed so far to
overcome his aversion to her as to permit va-
rious little oflices which she was constantly
performing for him in her character of gen-
eral useftilness. She arranged the cushions
in his easy chair —-for, after the first fit of
sullenness, uncle Jefferey permitted himself
to be installed into its comfortableness—she
fetched hint his slippers, and reached him
his foot stool. and got him the newspapers,
and handed him his hat and stick when be

Uncle Jeffery took poor Fan_tiy’s hand,

threatened it with cotnpression. I know
you did not. Yet, nevertheless, you must
not speak so loud.
