No epcck upon Iho cotton diets

Thy tucked up kirtle under;
Whi'o shining dishes, row on row

While round thy duof the millions cull
While (he great markets fill,
Though public sorrow strike ua all,
Singing, thou workest etill;
Yoa, all thy care and all thy lot
Is ever, sweet and willing,
To keep one little household spot
As clean as n new shilling!
Tho crimson kitchen firelight dips
Thy checks until the}' glow ;
Tho whito flour makes I by finger t ips
Like rosebuds dropt iu snow.
When all thy little gentle heart
Flutters iu exultation
To compass, in an applo tart

Tn ono of tho splendidly decorated
saloons of .St. James was assembled n
group of 3*oung and lovely girls,
whoso delicato fingers were busily employed
in different kinds of ornamental
needle-work which, und?.r their

assembly was tho Dowager Duchess
d'AMjy, tho chief of tho ladies of honor.
Among the blooming group, tho
youngest was remarkable lor the simplicity
of dress and thequiot modesty
of her whole appearance. Her aliire
was a dross of black velvet, closed to
tho throat, but of wliieh tho skirt,
open in front,, disclosed an under-dress
of white 6atin ; tho eIccvcs came just
below tho elbow, and cnnuettifclilv

disclosed an arm and hand of tbc
most dazzling whltonoss. A plaited
tucker cncirclod licr graceful neck, on
"which hung a chain, to which was
attached a largo cross, and lu.^li'iant
hair, simply parted on the forehead,
confined behind by a laco scarf,
comploted hor costumo. This was
tho daugJitor of one of the most illustrious
families of Scotland: her futhor,
Lord Ruthvon, united to a princely
fortune a pedigreo of which ho

have sought in vain for the di^-.ity
and purity, which T have i.r\orsoen
united bul in a nobly lady, who woujd
disdain to Rit to a poor artist. '
Tho animated and anient glanco of
Van i>yck much embarrassed Lucy;
it told iu r he bad at last found th<
object his fancy had depicted. Tlio
"Duchess, however,_ had observed it,
.and asked:
"Who is this noble lady ?"
"The Virgin herself, Madam!"?
Bowing profoundly, and giving a parting
glance at Lucy, he added : "If I
gain the prize, j-ou shall see me again,
madam ; if not, I leave England."
ILo took immediate possession of
his apartments, -where he could, at
the Bame time, .paint his Madonna,
and copy tho frescoes for the chapel.
With his mind full of tho celestial
faco ho had just seen, he seized his

lineaments. But tho extreme sensibility,
so usefuHo art when time has
calmed it, was now bis chief obstacle,
lie felt too, deeply to succeed in expressing
tho idea which filled his
soul. Tho day passed in fruitless
attempt, and the night surprised him,
dissatisfied and desponding.
In llie meantime Lucy had suffered
severely for tho preference shown lieri
by Van Dyek. Tfcc envy and jealousyof
her companions found vent in impertinent
sarcasms; so that, on separating
for the night, her mind was]
filled with his idea, and aflor her
nightly prayer, his name was the last
on her lips.
It was midniglft, tho heavens shone
with a thousand sparkling stars, and
a soft light spread itself on the old
abbey, which stood solitary and alone
among its ruins,
A window of tho pulaco "opened,
and a shadow passed slowly along
tho balcony and grand staircasc, crossed
along tho court, and reached the
monastery.

herself in tho painter's work-room,
and, parsing lightly on, seated herself,
without looking around her, immediately
in froyt of his easel.
Oh, surprise! oh, joy! this being,
I so calm,, so beautiful, is Lucy! Tho

Jtfi'st thought was to exaraine his canvas.
Transported with joy at liis
success, he thanked, on his knees, the
angel or woman who had bo favored
him.* In vain ho endeavored again
to impart tho ideality which existed
} in his imagination, llo had so combined
the IhoughUi of tho Madonna
and of Lucy, that ho determined to j
discover tho truth, and wrote the I
following billet to tho young girl:
Toll me if you arc indeed an angel,
il" you d<> not wish lo deprive of his
senses tlio poor artist to whom you
have condescended to appear this
night. Tell me if you are tlio Virgin,
or a mortal!"
It was a part of tho duly of iho
Oo wager iMiohcssto open the billets
addressed to the young ladies confided
lo her charge. What was her astonishment
on vending this epistle!

her, and she was commanded
to sleep in the apartment of the
iMifhfiss to avoid further Beandal.
At midnight, Lucy rose as before.
The Duchess was roused from her
unquiet sleep, and called all the ladies
lo witness the confirmation of her
suspicions. With lighted flambeaux,
the Duchess, attended by a numerous
suite, followed Lu'-y, who traversed
again the groat hall, tlio long passages,
and arrived at tho door of the
monastery. Iler eulpabilitj' could no
longer be doubled, bul they followed
her even to the painting room, where
she was already seated before the
easel. The noise around her, and the
brilliancy of the lights, awoke her in
afTrigh'. ic'h? wua a sleep-walker, a
somnambulist!
Thus unconsciously had she served
as model to an artist who full}' repaid
in love what she had given him in
renown. Ho obtained tho prize, and
was loaded at tho court with honors
and riches.
Not long afterward, there was eel
obraled at St. Paul's the union of Van
Dyek and Lucy tho daughter of the
noble Count Huthven de Ciorry.
