as infinitely flattered by his preference,

ne of the most delicious hours I ever
nt, were passed in this room, reclining
in a lounge, among the cushions with
ich its mistress had furnished it, book
iand, realising the paradise of'the poet
if. The moral atmosphere of those
3 inhabit a house pervades it, there is
doubt about that, in some houses I
e felt an unpleasant sense of constric
i for which I could not account, even
sn I wasaione in my owrt room. There
i nothing* this kind here. The very
of K seemed to hoyer about the
;e. After conversing awhile upon deoyr
topics, I walked in the garden
h fcjton. It was iy admirable order,
i everything it contained was in a thri>
5 condition. Ho was his own gardner, I
told me, working about one hour a
, which he found very pleasant and
llbfnl. His wife had soma borders of
rers, and they had a great variety of
fruit treee. From these, his garden
und, cow and poultry yard, their table
i principally supplied, Heea lie kept
, v.., v.."!, uuu ntue-rauor, wmio
tbeir hotiev affordeJ an excellent luxury.
After a brief \isic I returned to tny lodgings,
charmed with my new acquaintance,
and with carte blanche to invade
tbeir premises whenever inclination
prompted. This I found to be pretty of
ten, though I did not always yield to ij.
fancying it possible, that like other good
things.inv society might be more highly
prized, if it was a little charily bestowed.
Mrs Kilon, I found, bad been bred a
fine lady, in the popular sense of that
term. She had been brought up by a
wealthy aunt, and had had excectatiors,
which were cutoff by her marrying young
Elton, against lier aunt's will, after bis
father's failure. Elton's father diod of
beait disease, soon after the loss of bis
property. His son was thus thrown upon
his own resources, without a penny in
his pocket, and with no habits of business.
'What are you to do'!1 asked Mrs.
Menvin, their aunt, of him one day after
this event, as lie related to me. 'You
have no trade, no profession, and not a
penny of capital to go into business with;
and if you had, you have no husine s
knowledge to i< sure success. And here
is Maria,' she said, 'with no more effi iency
than a bahy, and just as incapable of
taking care of herself. What are vou to
do ?'
'As for Maria,' I answered, 'I trust she
has a substratum of good sense, nnd a
love of duty which will prove available
for all practical purposes in whatever eir
cumstances she may l?o placed ; and I,' I
added, gravely, 'am already master of an
excellent profession !'
'A profession,' exclaimed my aunt,
sneeringly ; 'what is it ? Paring your
nai.sf I'll wager you never did anything
more luboiious.'
'A little,' I answered, 'though you may
never have become cognizant of the fact.
1 am an excellent barber.'
'Seeing she looked puzzled, and a little

the luxury of a liHrtirr, I performed

And yon intend to erect a harbor's

'upon my word'that will bo adding glory

*1 presume,' said Maria, to mollify her
aunt, 'that Klward is only joking.'
*1 am not so sure of that,' said I. 'but
the future will show.' I had spoken
lightly, and because the remembrance of
my experience was roused in my mind by
my aunt's saying 1 bad no profession ;
but while walking alone on the evening
after tiiis conversation took place, the
thought came to me?w hy not erect a
barber's pol. f what business can you seek

and no one I as any confidence jD your

it not ha preferable to standing all day
behind a counter, trying to suit the whims
of difficult customers?under a master
too. The common sen-e appeared to give
a verdict of yes, drowning the voice of
'society,' w hich would have urge.I motives
to the contrary, and my resolutions was
taken. I imparted it to uiy wile ilia',
night. When convinced I was in earnest
she fell in at once with my plans, Hud we
lay awake far into the night discussing
them. I was to seek out some country
village, where 'iving would be less ex pen
aive, and the vocation I had chosen more
respectable, for I could not at once divest
myself or the false pride in which I had
been nurtured, and meet with firmness
'the world's dread lau^h.'

shed a decided and very South >Caro h
repugnance to the institutions,

South Carolinian to possess any of
