All that in the exterior they generally

By no iiieiins, said I. *
Well sir. could you lift the curtain and
see all that this sober and wonderfully,l.nn-
est exterior is sometimes made to conceal,
you might, perhaps, be little less inclined
to exempt them from the common feelings
and frailties of utlier people. I have half
:1 mind to tell you :1 story ofan affair which
occurred some twenty years ago at the
very establishment you visited, and which
would show——
Now don't husband! interrupted my
hostess with ii dc-precatiug look.
Only by way of argument, uife, briskly
replied the man, casting an arch look at
the othcr. I want to show him that love
and intri;__rue rmiy sometimes be found un-
der a broad brim as well as untleranarrow
one.
Q! pray let us have it; go on, by all
means, l eagerly interposed, deliglited _:it
the idea of ii love story from such an un-
promising source as that of the Shaking
Quakers. ‘
My best, begaii.
It was a delightful evening in the month
ing his parting beams over the yellow for-
ests of the surrounding uplands, whose
burnished foliage threw back tl.e mingled
streams of reflected light, and spread ii red
quivering glow over the slumbc-ring waters
of the Miiscomy, and the beautiful mead-
ows that lie stretched along its ‘shores.-—
Nearly the whole of the Shaker family,
numbering, at that time something less
than a hundred, were in the field, a short
dis ance from the pond, e..gaged in gath-
ering the rare fruit of their extensive or-
cliards———the women, with their hand bas-

l was once, upon.a warm summer after-
fnoou, journeying on horseback in that wild
:and pictiiresqne tract of country in New
‘l'ltlnlpSl)ll‘€‘, which borders on the upper
‘portion of the mountain-born lllerriinac,
‘when a dark thunder cloud, that had been
'g:itliering unperccived by me in the dis-
kets pie. iug up the clioicer kinds for mar-
ket. preservation, and the men gathering
and conveying to the teams, stationed at
different points of tlic fiqld, for the purpose
—that part of the fruit which was destined
for the ordinary uses of the Society. The
almost exact uniformity in the fashion and
color of their dresses produced a singular
sameness in the appearance of them all;
but this was more particularly the case
\\ itli the females, whose nt‘-at, prim dresses
lance, rose up suddcnly from behind the
iscreeriing hills, apprising‘ me at once by
,its tlireaieiiing aspect, and the rapidity
lwitli which it was rollin_i_{ towards me, that‘
‘a thorough drenching was only tobe avoid-
ied by an immedi:i'e flight to some place
,of shelter. Applying the spur, therc-fore,l
El put my horse to his best speed, and for-,
'tonatcly succeeded in reaching a substan-
.'tial looking farm house by the road side
just as the big, bright drops of rain, as if
jshaken down by tl.e crasliingthunder that
glieraldcd their descent, came merrily dan-
cing to the smoking earth. j
. While standing in the open shed that l
had been so lucky as to gain, listening to
,the ro..r of the elements, and marking tha.
lalmost terrific sublimity with which :1 than-
gdcr storm in the mountains becomes invest-
'cd, the owner of the establisliment, a Fnc
hale man of forty, came out, and very
courteously invited me into the house, ad-
ding at the same time, that he thought,
gfrom the unpromising appearance of the
lcleuds, I might as u ell male up my mind
at once to remain with him through the
night. As it was then late in the after-
noon, and the rain still continued to pour
down, with little prospect of abatingl in
,tiuic for me to resume my journey before
ldar‘-', l soon concluded to accept the prof-
_fcred hospitality; when l was immediately
‘ushered in by my kind entertainer, and
introduced to his interesting family as a
sfiau;_'ei' \\ ho had concluded to accept their
'poor fare for the night.
l I had been already struck with the ap-
pearance of thrift and good management
in everytliing about his establishment
wvitlioiit, and my almiration was new
equally awakened by the neatness and
rustic taste within, and the quiet and order
with uhicli the family concerns seemed to
be conducted under the superintendence of
,of never varying slate color, white liueri
l
liercliiefs and snowy caps, surmounted, by
ltheir low, plulll bonnets, from which peep-
"ed their thin, p.-ile visages, all seemingly
marked with the same demure, (loxncasi
expression, might have disposed an ordi-
nary spectator,as they were moving about
the field as si'ent and gesturelcss as a band
of automatons, to look upon them with
sensations much resenibling those we ex-
perience in beholding a flock of wild fowls,
where an inspection of one is an inspection
of the whole. A close observer, in exam-
ining the faces and figures of each, would
have discovered that here as \\’t'll as else-
where, nature had not forgotten to be par-
tial in the distribution of her favors, and
that here as well as elsewhere, were those
on whom the gift of personal beauty had
not been altogether charily bestow. d ; and
among the latter class, there was particu-
larly one whose rounded symmetrical per
son, fair and blooming face, and intelligent
and sweetly expressive countenance, stri-
kingly contrasted with the drooping forms,
plain features, and passive, unioeaning
looks of most of her unattractive compan-
ions.
Just as the last rays of the sinking son‘
were fading from the lofty summit of the
dis ant Kenrsage, the word was passed
for the people to leave work and return to
their houses. As the company were pro-
miscuously, though in their usually quiet
and unsociable manner, retiring from the
field, one of the men, ii dark eyed, corri-
pactly built young fellow of about twenty
one, bearing a large basket of apples on
the shoulder contrived to cross the path
of the young Quakeress just desciibed.-
