Thtipersoa tie addreteed, looked and saw a little girl, about ten years (JJ, advancing along en old blackberry path. Rhe was brown as a berry, from expoanre to the sun, and her feet and arm were bare; but there wnt a grace about her, as she eatne (ripping for ward, thai a princess might have en Tied, Just la front of her, a spider had spun his trap across Ihe pa'h, and, ns the young man spoke, he slightly stooped her h?ad, and raising her bands, pushed the cobwebs aBide. It was this artless, natural movement, which completed the picture. ' l slioulU like to paiai ner,- saia no who had spoken. What! love nt first sight?" pnswer- ea his companion, uuguing. iu thitik of the fastidious Clarence losing his heart to a sunburnt fairy. You are eighteen, and she about ten oh! you ciin afford to wait " . . . fj his conversation uaa oeen carrisa on in -whispers. The child, still ad vancing, had, by tins lime, come oppo site to the two young men. i)a seeing them, she stopped, and stared curious ly at them, aa a young deer, that hai never been huued, may ue suppose-i to stop and regard ihe first stranger that enters tlie forest. Her bright speaking face, as she thus stood, grace fully arrested, was not less beautiful- in us way, man ner nine ngurc, -My dear," said the Ust speaker "would tou like to be rande into a pic- lure? My friend here is a painter, and will give you a dollar, if you will let hint sketch you." The child looked from the speaker to his friend. Something, in the latter's face, seemed to restore the natural confidence, which the free-and easy air - of the other had for the moment, shaken. She drew coyly up to him as if for protection. "1 bare read of pictures," eaid she. grting up into his lace, "but I nctcr saw one. Js u a real picture oi me you will make?" The artless, appealing manner of the child went to the young man'a heart. He would as eoon hare joined in ban tering her as in bantering a sister. He took ner hand, as he replied, 'I will make rs good a picture of you as I can if you will let me. A picture like one of these." - And he opened his portfolio, which contnined various sketches, i "Oh! how beautifuU" cried the child. It was evident that a new world was opened to her. She gased breathless ly, at sketch after sketch, till the last had been examined, and then heaved a deep sigh. "1'lease sir," she said, timidly, at last, '-will you give me my picture when you have painted u?" "rto. interposed me otner young man, ' b t we win give you a dollar." She turned on the speaker, M L'o the hand she had been holJing, and drew hersolf up with sudden haughtiness. "I don t want your dollar," she said wi'h proud delicacy. , bhe was tuininsr to escape, when the artist recovering her hand, said, sooth. "flever mind him, my ceur. . iwin paint two pictures, ani give you one. Uome wul that doT ' Reassured, the child took the posi tion indicated to her, and Clarence Hurvard, for that was the young ait isi's name, began rapidly painting. Before noon, two hasty sketches, In oil, were finished. , , . '. " , ' There,'' be eaid drawing a long breath, "you have been as, quiet u$ a little mouse; and I'm a thousand ifiiVes obliged to you. Take that home'and he handed her the sketch, 'nd may bo, tome of these days, you'll think of him who cave' it o you." : - . VThat I will, all my life long' art lenly said the child, gesing rapturous ly on her new possession, with an en tbusiasm, partly born of the artist-soul within her, nnd partly the result, of a child's pride in what is iu own especial property, .. .r ., fc .. ., .

A week l ter they were both home in tho city, CI a rence Lard at work perfecting himself in art, and his companion delving at Coke and Uuckstone. '. Years passed. Clarence Harvard had risen to be an artist of eminence., His pictures were the fjjhi n: he was the fashion himself, Occasionftlly, ns he turned over Lis oldr sketches, lie would, come upon Cobwebs,", as hit was accustomed, laughingly, to call the sketch of the child; nnl then for a moment, ho would wonder what had become of the original; but, except on these rare occasions, he never even thought of her. . Kut sj with the child herself. Kel lie Bray was a poor orphan, the daugh ter of a poor gentleman, who, after her father's death, had bet n adopted by a maternal uncle, living o: a wild, up. land farm among the Alleghanies. Her childhood, from her earliest re collection, had been spent amid the drudgery of a farm. This rude, but free life had given her the springy Btep aud ruddy cheek, which had attracted the young artist's attention, but it had failed to satisfy the higher aspirations oi her nature, aspirations wnich lud been burn in her blood, and which came of generations of antecedent culture. , The firt occasion on which these higher impulses had found congenial food was when she had met the young aitist. She carried her sketch home, and w ould never part with it. His re fined, intellectual face haunted all her day dream j From that hour a new element entered into her life; she be came conscious that there were other people, beside the dull, plodding ones with whom her lot had been cast; she aspired lo rise to-tfee-level of such; all her leisure hours were spent in study ing: gradually, throuzh her influence, her uncle's household grew more or less refined; and finally, her uncle him self becaae bwbitiou for Nelly, and as he had no children, consented, at hia wife's vntrtaty, to send the young girl to a first class boarding school. , At eighteen the. bare footed rustic, whom the young nriht had sketched, had dawned ift . a beautiful and ac compli he J woman, who afier having carried off the highest prizes at school, was the l.elle of the oounJy town, near which her uncle's possessions lay. That unolo had betn growing rich, like1 most prudent farmers, partly from the rise in vJua of laud s, utid partly from the Judkioui inwtmenl oT l i ..sa vings. . But in spite of l.er many suitors, Nelly had i.ever yet seen a face, that appeared to her h lf s. handsome as the niHn'y ono of the young artist, whose kind, peptic words and manner, eight years be ' ore, had lived in btr memory ever since. Oiten after a brilllnnt company, where alio had been qiiecn of the evening, she found her self wondering, in her chamber, if she should ever see that, face, again! ,'.

J so that they had given a verdict with out leaving the box. Ihe young law yer at that b .ll. was like a hero fresh from the battle-titld. A hundred f.iir eyes followed hii form, a hundred fair bo'oras beatquicker as he approached. Bui he saw only otie'iu nil that bril liant assembly and it was Nelly. Her graceful form, her intelligent face, her style and beau y, nrrestcd him, the nn meat he entered; he saw. that she had no peer in the room; and he devo ted himself to her, almost exclusively, throughout the evening. Nor iiad Nelly ever shone bo brilliant ly. She coul.l not bat feel that it win a great compliment, to be thus singled out from umong so many, j But she had another motive for t-xerttng her self to shine. At the very first glance, she recognized, in Mr. Mowbray, the companion of the artist who had sketch ed her eight years back, ia hopes to hear something of his friend,, she turned the conversation upon art, the city, childhood, a:d every; bing else 'hat she thought might be suggestive; but in vain. She could not bo more definite, bec3U3e she wished to conceal her own identity, for it was evident M. Mowbray did not know her; be sides her natural delicacy shrank from inquiring abou a perfect stranger. The next day, as soon as etiquette allowed, Mr, Mowbray was seen dri ving up to the farm. Nellv appeared, beautifully attired in a neat morning diets, and looking so fresh and spark ling, in spite of the late hour! of the night befcre, that it eou!d hardly be conbideied fltttery, when her visi'or assured her that she looked lovelier (ban her loveliest rose. . Mr Mowbray was full of 'egrets nt the cruel fate, which be said, compel led him to return to the city. .He could not conceal his joy, when Nelly's aunt, inadvertently, and to Nelly's se cret annoyance, let out the fact, that, in the Tall, JNelly was to pay a vis;t to au old school-mate in l mijueipnia, Miss Maiy Stanley "Ah' indeed,' cried the visitor, and his face flushed with pleasure. 1 am so delighted. I have the honor to know Miss Stanley. You will be quits at home in her set," he added, bowing to Nelly, ''for it is, by common con sent, the most cultivated in the city. Nelly bowed coldly. Her old di- truct in the speaker had revived again Through all the polish ot Ins imn- ner, sue recognized me tame sneering spirit, which believed in nothing true or good, from which Bhe had shrunk instinctively when a child. During the interview, she was civil, but no more. She eould not, h wever, avoid being beautiful; and so Mr Mowbray went away, more in love than ever. A few months later found JNelly do miciled, for the winter, in Philadel phia. Hardly had she changed her travelling dress, when her friend came into her chamber. I want you to look your prettiest, to night," said Miss Stanley, 'for I expect a crowd of beaux, nnd, among them, Mr Mowbray, the eloquent rounif lawyer, and Mr. Harvard. . The former claims to, have met you, and raves everywhere of your beauty. The titer, who is the great nrtist. and very critical, laughs at his friend's enthu siasm, and says he d bet you re only common rustic, with cheeks like peo nies.
