THE GOLDEN RINGLET.
Here is a little golden tress,
Of soft, unbruided hair;
The all that's left of loveliness.
That once was thought so fair;
And yet. though time has dimmed its sheen
Though all beside hath fled,
I hold it here. a link between
My spirit and the dead.

nearest lsabel, who took no more notice‘
of him than of his vacant chair.
At length the magic words, “Sir‘Sidney
’ and Miss Harcourt,” were presented, and.
the door flung back as if its very hinges
should suffer martyrdom to do them honor
--and the whole roomful rose, as if by
one movement, except Isabel, who care-
lessly remained seated. Then came sun-
dry flourishes and introductions, and mu-
tual bows and curtseys, till Miss Harcourt
fairly sank down on her seat of honor,
casting a rueful glance at her brother,
who returned it with one so irresistibly
comic, that Isabel, to whom alone the look
was visible, was compelled to smile too.,
Sir Sidney, whose eye was wandering
round the room, caught the look, eagerlyf
bowed recognition, and in another minute.
was at her side, leaving Mr. Gustavus with '
half his tale untold.
That Sir Sydney was handsome and bad

gentlenian there could not-be two opinions;
about; but there was something more
about him no one could exactly definel
what. He was too well bred to be liauglityl
or repulsive when he had quite willingly,
accepted Miss Brown's invitation; yet
certainly he did not seem in his element.
He did smile and talk well; but Miss
Wliilelmina whispered to an I intimate
friend-to observe how very melancholy
his countenance was when at rest-she
was certain he was not a happy man, and
what could be the reason"! Miss Har-
Yet from this shining ringlot, still
A mournful memory springs,
That melts my soul, and sends a thrill
Through all its trembling strings,
I think of hcr.,. the loved, the wept,
Upon whose forehead fair,
For eighteen years, like sunshine slept,
This golden’ curl of hair.
Oh sunny tress! the joyous brow,
\Vhere thou did’st lightly wave,
\Vith all thy sistes tresses now,
Lies cold within the grave.
That check is of its bloom bereft,
That eye is no more gay,
Of all her beauties, thou art left,
A solitary ray !
Four years have passed, this very June,
Since last we fondly met;
Four years ! and yet it seems too soon,
To let the heart forget;
Too soon to let. that lovely face
From our sad thoughts depart,
And to another give the place,
She held within the heart.
Her memory, still, within my mind.
Retains its sweetest power;
It is the perfume left behind,
To whisper of the flower!
Each blossom that in moments gone,
Bound up this sunny curl,
Recalls the form, the look, the tone,
ble tournure, had chosen to settle down'
in a regular flirtation with a, Mr. Manby, a"

(Concluded.)
The evening at length arrived. Confu-
sion and noise, and sundry domestic jars,
had subsided into silence and solemnity

court was pronounced after a trial of ten
minutes, a most charming, accomplished,
elegant. girl; she was in reality merely
an unaffected, genteel, quiet little person-
age, without any pretension whatever,
and somewhat passed what she deemed
girlhood-. -
The evening proceed d most harmoni-
ously. Tea was accomplished elegantly
under Miss Ang‘elica’s active survillunce.
She was in the blue room, back and front
drawing-room, so quickly, one after the
other, that she seemed gifted with ubiquity
for the evening. Then Miss Brown pro-
posed music and dancing; she tlioiiglit
they were such delectable adjuncts to
young peuple’s amuscment—such social
pleasures, to all of which Miss Har-
court gracefully asscnted. She would be

seen. lf Isabel could have known that

earnest conversation as .'-lloired attention
Mr. Manby and several
other beiiux of Brinrstor-.e, whom Isabel
when none superior were to be had, came
in humble adoration eutreating the honor
of her hand. The loss of the head and
ctirl of the lip with which they were refu-
sed elicited an expression in Sir Sydney’s
whispered
carried, and. as he took it from her,|
coming in close contact wi-li the fair girll
behind her, whom her flowing drapery had,
till then, completely concealed.
“Laura! Miss Gascoigne! ls it pos-
siblel” he articulated, in a tone which,
though suppressed, must, to any percep-
tion less obtuse than the Misses Brown's,
have betrayed intense emotion ; but Miss
Wliileluiina only readrasual acqii:iii'itaiice-
ship, and supposed an introduction had
taken place in the early part of the eve-
ning‘. Laura bowed, Sir Sydney thought,
coldly, and passed quiet'y on tothe piano.
The song was selected and sting. She
had often been heard before; but her
voice had never seemed the same as at
that moment. lt might have been that
what-.1 baronet and his sister listened to
with such interest, that the former had
moved himself some distance fiom Miss
.\lorland’s fascinations to look at and lis-
ten to the singer unobserved, must have
been ofgreater value than it had ever been
supposed. or that there really was some
spell in the sting which Laura had never
been heard to sing before (Miss While!-
uiina, seeing it amongst her music, had
spoken on supposition merely;) but it
fell upon the most tliouglitless, the most
obtuse, with such unziccountalile power,
that even when the strain ceased, the sud-
den and unusual hush continued, until
rudely broken by Mr. Gustavus Brown
and Mr. Gilbert Givevoice clapping their
hands most vehemently, exciting an up-
roar of applause, under which Laura tried
to make her escape, but she was preven-
ted by the friendly advance of Miss Har-
court, who with both hands extended, ex-
claimed, so as to le heard by all, “Miss.
Gascoigue, you will permit me to thank
you for your beautiful song and claim
your acquaintance at the same breath I’-
VVe have in truth‘ never mot before; but
if you knew me as well as I know you
from report, we should be lriends——na_v,
more, allies-already. You need not look
so very terrified,” she added, with laugh-
ing earnestness, "I am not a very formid-
able person, tl‘ioii,r_zh my want of cereinouy
may really be rather startling; but 1 am
so glad to have found you, tliatl must en-_
trcat ,\‘liss Brown’s kind perinissian to ex-
cuse me, ifl do forget everybody but you
for a little while.”
Her ready tact met with the rejoinder
slia desired: she was entrcatcd by all the
‘sisters to make herse‘f quite at lioineg,
they were delighted that she should know!
their dear Laura. The blue room was:
quite deserted, and they could chat there
once, had not Laura and Miss Harcourt at
that instant reappeared. The countenance
of the latter bore such traces of evident
emotion, spite of the strong control she
was practising, that Isabel was on the
point of making some bitterly satirical re-
mark, but those dark reproving eyes were‘
again upon her, and Sir Sydney spoke be-'
fore she did-—but it was to Laura—not to
her. , _ _ _
“ Has my sister pleaded in vain, or may
I indeed claim an old fi'iend—-and forgive-f
ness 1” he added-—speaking the last word
in so low a tone as only to be board by
his sister Laura and Isabel. La'ura’s lips
so quivered that no word would come;
but her hand was placed in that which Sir’
Sydney so eagerly extended,and her eyes‘
met his. He drew her arm in his, and led
her, to all appeal-arice, so easily and nut-
urally to a quadrille that was forming, that
few suspected more than they were old
friends; and how strange it was they
should meet there and then; ‘and, if he‘
should talk to her, and make her sing
twice again,.duri'ug the short remainder
of the evening, it was nothing remarkable.
Isabel had thrown herself moodily on
one of the sofas in the blue, room :' half
concealed by the curtains of the window,
trying, in vain, to connect Sir Sydney-’si
conduct and the report of his former life‘.
It seemed clear enough; but she would
not believe it. There was nothing i-n his
manner biil. old acquiaiutancesliip ;- she
woiild conquer him yet. How could Lau-
ra vie with her? Alas. for the delusion-!
Miss Harcourt’s S.lilWl, by the provident
care of Miss Angelicti, had been brought
she repaired ; the Misses Brown, in trio,-
zissembled to do them great honor; and
lsabel remained wholly unperceived. Af-‘
ter being well sliawled, Miss Harcourt
disappeared with her body guard, of
Browns. Sir Sydney, who had come 0:-
tensibly to hurry her, lingered.
“‘Laura~! my own beloved! forgivenli
loved‘ through all! how could l doubt"l—-
how could I. niuka‘ myself, and you, so’
niisernblel Can I ever repay you, even
by a long life of love! If you but knew
the remorse, the tvretcliednessl have en-
dured, you would forgive still more,”
were the sonieu-hat incoherent sentences-
that fell distinctly upon lsabel’s ear; and
though there was no answer, no words,-
she could see Sir Sydney’s arm thrown‘
round her cousin, and that she shrunk not
from his parting kiss. Another moment,-
and both had disappeared—Si-r Sydney to
take such farewell of the really worthy
women who had befriended his Laura,-
