Tlie Vincca were miserably poor— thiao most unfortunate of bdngs, poor geutlrfolks — U10 sort of people who, in the course of a acaaon, suffer double martyrdom! from petty mortifications, with an endurance which, if known '• would excite the envy of the ghowt of the nrrcr-lo-be-forguttrn Spartan boy, and extingniah hly glory tor em; the sort of people who have an appearance to keep up, and nothing to keep up u|Km.

Nellie was the eldest giri, pretty lather, sod decidedly aplritod-cferer and truly and amusing. She w» twenty-one an but a week, and looked younger and frit older. She had been in lore with Bertie Xgertou all her life; but I ho had nothing beside* his handsome arlfand pretty name to boast of; so, j though tbey understood each other as , parftetij aa IT there had been a don-n proposals between Uwa, they bowed to circumstance*. Be was supposed to be a barrister, bat be had nctsr held brief Hi Ma Ufe. He had an uncle rolling in money, who had soot him to college, and pmmtoed to do amm-tblng foe him, and who had paid the foe, for entrance at the Tsrepte; but Bertie thimgh be acquired girai knowtodge of the world, had acquired li ttfe knnw- ;

c*t relation. Altogether, therefore, things were hopeless; 11*7 could not many on love and lire on air; besides, liertle bad a righteous .horror of poverty. Nellie was romantic, very deridedly rosaantie, though ahe prelend- ' ed to be matter-of-fact. In her heart she was horridly disappointed that Bertie didn't propose Gretna, or its equivalent (since Hist useful institution was abolished). Sbe was in love, vary much in love, and If be would have only asked her, would have married him, and settled dowa to geutrei poverty tor the rest of her days with .k the greatest satisfaction; but he didn't On the contrary, he bewailed hla povcrty, and will ho thought lie should X! propose to "Plantations "—I'lanlatioui being a West-Indian heiress with plenty of money and little beauty. Therein fore, Nellie after being talked to, and 1 having all the advantages explained lo ber by politic mamma, and being IccM tared and called' "My daar daughter" by her proud papa, had accepted old Drown low. Tbey were to he married n in July, and this was May; so alio had two monllis' freedom yet, and then— but ahe resolutely forbore to look any farther. Old Btownlow was as rich aa a Jew ; ao it was an excellent match, people said, and were more attentive to the " Vincca in consequence, n.|ieciaUy xel- .. lie. Ms was fifty -five and rather gray. Me wasn't over head and ear* in love with Nellie — he adored himself too much for that The fact was, he wan t- * ed a mistress for hla house, aud nomc 000 to bead hla table, and ho thought alio would do. He had hesitated between Nellie and her youuger aisidr Clara. Clara waa prettier, but Ncllit . had more spirit, and that decided liirn. , lie liked her independence and spirit, 1 ' though he intended to curb it as fir so j ho was concerned. Clara would liave| , accepted him much more willingly: , sho liked the pomps and vauitim of , this iniquitous world, and rather en- p vied Nellie on the whole, and admired j , diamond engagement-ring porticu- . larly. [ Nellie had not seen Bertie since tho ( evening that ring had been placed 00 f lwr not at all willing finger, till they met at the Wilfonl'a party. Luckily, „ old llrowulow waa not there; ao they „ it all their own way. Tliey had f , danced about a dozen bars of the "Ma- j ' bel," and tlien betakcu tbemMirea to r | tliat dimly-lighted and remarkable „ convenient conservatory . n " Hcteat him!" sold Bertie; "pleas- B ant, certainly;" but he scorned rather a pleased, ou the whole, or, at ail eveota , ■IccldcdJy not sympathising, as ho ought to have Uwn. t, "Indeed I do, Bertie." They srere a alttiug down now in the cosiest corner of tliat cosy tllrtatlon harbor. " Why do you marry him IhcnJ" ^ "Oh, he's rich,"' slie replied a little scornfully. "Worldly young person you must a Is-," be said, looking as if be consider- |, cd licr n curiosl'y, but there waa a look
