I bating an abnndant share of thia.worldV I gooda, waa inclinrd to ignore those lea* 1 fatorcd by fortune, and conaeqtienily bin ' proud and overbearing maimer* rrn- ; dered him disagreeable to '.hose whom i be termed hia inferiors. That' he warheudaome we will admit — ai ieaat ao thought Madge, aa ahr i watched bim com# up the walk, hie curly lock* blowing in the wind. Very grand be looked to her qpsophieiicnte.l eyea. and ahe stepped aaide with a Tpelieg iJ awo aa he passed, stopping lo li.teu to hit voice aa it sounded through the open-, window of the room- aboee. Bhl when she beard the fir. t tenuuca that passed his lips ahe atood sptdlhound, drinking tu every word lie ottered ; end very pale waa that pale little lace aa ahe turned again to her work, wondering if ahe really was auch an ugly little tlf a* he called her. When her work waa done ahe quietly slipped away to her little garret bedroom and taking a piece of glass that abe had fbund, from ber pocket, eagerly scanned' the features before her, and truly they were not very pretty. She was, perbapa. fourteen years of age, amd tbongh at first glance we would term ber decidedly homely, after a moment's study there was something peculiarly interesting in that little face. Certainly thn eyea were too large and wild looking, and as the wild orbs rolled hi tber and thither they had a strange weird expression. The features were email nod pinched, nod the complexion what j might b| called muddy, while very black j etraighrbair, cropped close aroond ber bead, comprised therefore that Madge waa gazing at so earnestly, and it did not pJreaa her apparently, for with a long drawr. sigh she laid the gists aaide, and tilling by the window, muttered : "No. 1 don't bate bim for saying »o, for be don't know bow it hurt mr ; and besides I am Josl aa homely aa be said, and worse, too But what of it K lam \ only n poor avrvant !

I Nine years have passed away, and the scene opens before as io one of the most stylish palaces of oar metropolis, The drawing-rooms are filled- wilh wealth and beauty, in honor of the rc1 turn of the hostess' adopted daughter, ' after a lengthy aojouru In foreign parts "Zounds !

When his name was nntiouncrd a slight smile played over her features for a moment, but ' quickly pa*>«d, and she greeted htm with her accastomed grace. If he waa charmed at a distance, he waa completely enthralled when listening . ' to her wi'ty and animated conversation. Never hod hew en a woman who hail ' *o completely captivated him.

Miss Raleigh waa the acknowledged belle of s - cietj.
