TIIE UMBRELLA GIRL.
_ A TRUE STORY.
In a city, which shall be nameless, there
lived long ago, it young girl,the only daugh-
ter of a w.ido\v. She came from the country
and was as ignorant of the dangers ofa city.
She had
glossy black hair, gentle. beaming eyes, and
‘lips like wcl. coral.’ Of course, she knew
that she was beautiful; for when she was it
child. strangers often stopped as she passed
and exclaimed, How beautiful she is!’ And
as she grew older, the young men gazed on
her with admirzttinn. She was poor and re-
moved to the city to earn her living by cov-
ering umbrellas. She wasjust at that sus
ceptableage, when youth is passing into ivo-
manhood; wheu the sort] begins to be perva-
ded by ‘that restless principle. which impels
poor htinians to seek perfection in union.’
At the hotel opposite. Lord Henry Stuart,
an English nobleman, had at that time taken
lodgings. His visit to this country is doubt.-
less well renienibered by many, for it made
a great sensation at the tirrte. He was it
peer of the l't.-‘dllll, descended frotn the royal
line, and was. moreover, a strikingly hand-
some man. ofright princely carriage. He
was subsequently a member of the British
Parlianietit. and now dead.
As this distinguished stranger passed to
and from his hotel, he encountered the tini-
brella girl and was impressed by her uncom-
mon bcauty. He easily I.l'ilCt‘(I her to the
opposite store, \\ here he soon after went to
purchase an umbrella. This was followed
up by presents of flowers. chats by the way-
side-, and invitations to walk or ride; all of
which were gratefully accepted by the un-
suspecting rustic. He was playing a game
for temporary excitement; she, with a head
full of romance. and a heart melting under
the lllIll)t‘nCt‘ of love, was unconsciously en-
rfangering the happiness of her whole life.
Lord Henry invited her to visit the public
gardens. on the Fourth ofluly. In the slut-
plicity of her heart. she believed all his fir’.-
tering professions, and considered herselfhis
bride elect; she therefore accepted the invi-'
talion, with innocent frankness. But she
had no dress fit to appear on such a public
The remembrance of her would soon be to
him as the recollection of last. year's - butter-
,fltes. _With her. the wound was deeper. In
her solitary chamber she wept, in bitterness

she Sll0UI:‘I be discovered? And would not
the heart of her poor widowed mother break
if she should ever know that her child wasa
thief? Alas. her wretched forebodings
were too true. The silk was traced to her;
she was arrested, on her way to the SI.0l'¢-,
and dragged to prison. There she refused
all nourishment and \\’t‘pl. iricesstttttlv.

Isaac T. Hopper.:tnd informed him thert there

to be utterly friendlcss, and (It'lt.‘l'tltIll('(I to die

know all about it. I ttill do for thee as I
would for it daughter; and I uoubt not that
I can help the out of this dilficttlty.’
After a long time spent in affectionate en-
treaty, she leaned her young head on his
friendly shoultlt-r. and sobbed out, ‘Oh I wish

nobleman. He bade her to be comforted.

the silk was paid for. 'and the prosecution

employer, and told him the story. ‘This is
her first offence,’ said he; ‘the girl is young
and the only child ofa poor widow. Give
her a chance to retrieve this once false step
and she may be restored to society. a useful
and honored W0‘!-fin. I will see that thou
art paid for the silk.’ The man rerzdily a-

he should have dealt otherwise by the girl

case my friend.’ replied Isaac. By this kind

ant said his lordship had not yet risen. ‘Tell
him my business is of importance,’ said
Friend Hopper. The servant soon returned
and conducted him to the chamber. The
nobleman appeared surprised that a plain
old Q,tX:tl{9l' should thus intrude upon his
luxurious privacy; but when he heard his
errand, he blushed deeply. and frankly ad
mined the‘ truth ofthe girl’s statement. His
bcncvolrnt visitor took the opportunity to

face with mournful reproach, and burst into
tears. The nobleman took her hand kindly
and said, ‘My dear. are you an innocent girl?
‘I am. I am.’ replied she, with convulsive
sobs. ‘Oh, what have I ever done. or said
that you should ask me that?’ Her words
stired the deep fottntaios of his better nature.

amid the proudest distinctions of rank,he felt
no inclination to smile. He blushed and
was silent. The heartless convcntioritilities
of life stood rebuked in the presence of affec-

bumble home. and bade her farewell, with a

Perceiving '
the danger of expostire. he took out. a fifty
dollar note, and offered it to pay her expen-

man; I see in thy hand a large roll of such
notes. She is the daughter ol_a poor widow
and thou hast been the means of doing her
great injury. Give me another.’
Lord Henry handed him another fifty dol-

acted nobly. and I reverence you for it. If
yoti ever visit England. come to see me. I
will give you a cordial welcome. and treat

‘Farewell, friend.’ replied Isaac. ‘Though
much to blame in this affair, then too hast
behaved nobly. Mayest. thou le blessed in
domestic life, and trifle no more with the
feelings of poor girls; not even with those

Luckilv, the girl had sufficient presence

kept out ofthe newspapers. ‘I did this,’said
she. ‘for my poor mother's sake.’ With the

A Frozen IValerfa,ll.—Among all the
effects of the protracted cold which we have
experienced, perhaps nothing is more singu-
lar than the guise in which "Jack Frost.”
has arrayed our beautiful waterfall on the
Chittcnango. During the summer season,
these form a cascade ofnearly one hundred
and forty feet in height, (but so broken by
the broad ledges of the limestone precipice,
that no perpentlicular pitch is above fifty)
and as the stream is it pretty full one, presents
one ofthe fines! scenes of the kind that we
have ever witnessed.
Curious to see how they have been affect-
ed by the severe frost (the mercury having
:,sunlr on eight or ten sticcessive nights, to
ifroui 2 to 15 degress below zero) we visited
tthem the other day, and on descending the
long steep path which leads to the stream
below the fall, we were rewarded by a spec.-
tacle far beyond our expectations, and more
beautiful than our fancy had ever painted.-‘=
The whole fall from summit to base, an
more than a hundred feet in width. was 'coin=
pletely ensbroiided in ice. so thickly as_ to
prevent the usually noisy cascade from being’
heard, save in a low gurgle. and to hide it-
eritirely from view, except where _ at one
point, the veil was so thin as to aIIow"tlie'
dashing water to show through; . _
On the ledges it spread into broad «drift-
like masses, frozen into a thousand tiny
swells and undulations. which caused a pro-‘
saic lady of our party to compare it to a great
cauliflower; but the perpendicular pitches
were hung with myriads of icicles, varying’
in length from 20 feet to an inch. with which
last the larger ones bristled throughout their.
length. Where these hung over it recess in‘
the ice. a faint. translucent greenish tinge’
was perceptible; otherwise the color was
pure white, like alabaster, and the general!
appearance ofthe whole, was that of a gi-
gantic mass of staIactite——Iike those which
