A few days after I recta rod a note from
tbe lady, to nbom I bad written, askiBg
me to come and take the position, as she
tboeght me juet the persoa she wanted.
The next week I started for my new
home, and on arriving at Boston, was
met by a negro servant, wbo took rae ia
a carnage to .Mrs. Uber'e bonse.
It was a large, brown boase iitaated

Tbe long carriage road, which led from
the main street, was bordered on each
side by rows of drooping elms.
I was escorted into tbe library by a
servant, and after waiting a few momeuU,
was joined by 31ns. Usher. After a lit
tie conversation regarding my own abili
ties, she told rae that ber daughter Isabel
was but a few years younger than myself,
but on account of iil health when a child,
her education had been sadly neglectful.
She seemed much pleaded wit' ber en
gagement, and called Fannie, iter little
maid, to ecurt rae to ray room. "Vc as
cended the long stair?, covered witb the
richest carpet. She opened the last door
on we tannine, and told me this was mv
room. I could hardly, believe ber, for it
seemea almost too pretty for "only a Gor
erne&s." However, I entered, and tried
to make myself at borne. I had taken off
my tilings, and made myself ready for
tea, winch I bad been told would soon
do reauy. i was admiring my pretty
apartment, wlen I heard a knock at my
door. I opened it, and before me stood
a girl, not handsome, but fair and ladv
like in her manner. She introduced her
self as Isabel, raying, of course I had
beatd of her from ber mamma. We then
went down to lea, after which I retired
to ray room, as I was somewhat fatigued
alter tue long journey.
The next day I commenced with Isa
bel's lessons, which I found I could easily
manage excepting tlie rrench, wlncu
should have to study hard myself, in or
der to keep on with it; as I would rather
do this than give it up, and every niL'ht
when she was fast asleep. I would sit up
and study the lesson for the next day. Iu
this way I was successful, and Isabel im
proved wonderfully.
To year bad patsed; it was Isabel's
birthday, and in honor of the day. acrand

felt convinced ia every rpcct bat his

mentioned, for if she bad I certainly
should have betrayed ray sell.
In the morning I arose early aad kept

be neglected on account of hr daugh

and not his own beloved wife whom he
thought was lost to him forever.
I threw myself unnn his bosom and
fainted but only for a moment; and when
I recovered I listened fc the terrible story
he had to tell me, of tlie groit disaster
and wreck, and how he flonted in the
water for many hours, and was nt last
taken up by a passing ship and carried

tore it, bat failed. I bad the serve set
to sho it. for it ran oa several occasions
within twenty feet of me while ia the
chase, and one time, stopping, looked me
in the face. I coatf have thrown a rape
aver its hrnd if I bad had nee, a&d I
weald st shoot it, hoping of catching it
a lire. Alter repeated f at tares, I sac
ceeded in catching it yesterd ij; bat it
wst Mtortanate enuwgh to lose its lire in
trying to hide. My irtt dog, catching
it'ia a very roagh thicket of brash, tore
