Marrables ! S) young, too-only six-atd-thiaty, and very little the worso for wear. A widow with the bloom of youth htill upon her cheels, (spiteful people, wii aged faster, went so fur as to say Mrs. blarrables's bluom was like the manna of the I.,raelite --"new everymorning" but this was malice.) flaxen hair, gray blue eyes ; a smallasoned womau vIhi a dowy skin, nudl a figure, just plunp and no moro, whieb would wear fir ever without .inleading to obobity or oriddling up into wrinkles. She had a daughter 4,f eighteen, by name Matilda, less y ounlg in proportion to ier yearv, than herself. It is no affdc tation to t-ay that the two women vounld pass anywhere for sisters-Mrs. Marrobles is the elder by at most four or five years. A Mtranger would really be incredulous as to the rela tioiship between themn being that of inother and dnbghter. biech a mis, take, when it i., 8a id to be not in plensant to the otnivorous appetite for flattery developed in some of the pex by advancing Cans ; but to Mrs. Marrables it was uost embarrassing. She was not old , she did not look it ; and the explanation involvel mtdue the stranger sus pcut her of beina old'er thari she really was, IIut for this. M-s. Marrables migbt have hiarriol lung befure. She was never invited o-it without. her daughter ; and whenever any eligible gentleman be gan to pay her the slightest attention, some dear frien I or other toUll hi certain to whisper 4 "'Tait ia Mat ii.. da's mother ;" and of course their Was am end of it. It mu.t not be concealed that moth er nod danghter did not "hit it" very well together. Mrs Marrables resent ted her daughter's very existence, while Matilda could not but be scan dalized at having so youthful a moth )r. It was plain to Mrs. Mrr.bles ih.tt, in ordeir to her own success in life, her daugh'ter must be got rid of. People who arrive at sach a determination in hovels, too often Tesort to crime to ron6ve a person from their path. But Mrs. Marrables went to church twice every Sunday. At last the married Matilda out of her way to one Mr. \Vimbash, a most repeota ble retired corn-merchant of Iligh gate. Poor Mrs. Marrablej I Ito w basely did Matilda return her kindl noss. Twelve months after her mir riage, everybody read in the Times, "The wife of Jetho Winbush, Rs9., of a daughter." This was too much. A grandmother at thirty-six I A youthful, singing waltzing grandmoth. er, whose Very yoathfulue s, taken in conjunction with a not unnatural de sire to get married again, ecame a reproach in then eyes of right-think ing people. ".\3 dear, the is a grandmother," women would say to one another; "and how deceiteful of her it is to look so young." "Carries three generations re mnarkably well," sadd the men ; "but y ou kno w, old follow, she mrust be jolly old." tCHArTER1 It. Seventeen years passed away, and still Mrs. Mar'rables, to the scandal of everybody, was as young as ever, or nearly so nearly so, to all appearance, and as single as ever. In years shie was fifty-.thiree, and of course ounght to have dressed for the part. 1Hut her whole manners feeling, and appearance were in ladierous delnnce of boer yoau, andI seemed palpably to refute them. Ilad she d.,ne anything wick-I ed in her youth ? people whispered, ndwas it. a punishment ? Was shel 1.avwandlering Jewess ? Ihow could she c wear flixonr hair and a ohigno1 at her time of life ? It was indecent, inm p roper, scandalous I She might at lenast take to gaps, with a gray front, anid corkscew ringlets, arid a pieee of 'harrow bheok ve'lvet acoss thre rore ke ad, for the sake of (letorum. Then look at the way she dre~sod I Always in the fashion, streAminlg up the chureh aisies on a Sunday, settling hier silks and laes amnd ribbons like al girl. As for her conplexlon. I' heard one lady say : luoas you, it ian't paint, and it can't -be enamrel. I'M tried both, and know how little wear here is, in either, The woman is petrified, or else embalmed. I'm sure of it, for she ussa nothing but violet -powder." Mrs. Marrabtes, or, as she was com snonly called, Mrs. Evergreen, was not even engaged. There scorned a settled covlotion in the inds of eligible suitors that, aioe a man may n arry is grand mother, the go y f "Dountoother." ounh to tord thm from m..rM... other people's gradmothers. Besides, what a horrible thing it was that the w->man w'wldn't. grow old It mut be wicked, iW'twas real. M1rs. Mlarrables never forgave Matilda for making her a grandmoth er. But Matilda did not repeat the offence. Mr. Wimbush died, leaving his widow a respectable maintenance ()r herself and child. 'Tha child, Carry Wimbush, had put short dresses to shame when she was twelve. She ran up like a searlet runner. She ran right through by express fron childhood to womanhood, without stoping at the intermediate station of girdom. At seventeen she was a grown wi mn of uniture experience, who had given up flirting for love, along witlher oter playthings, and was ready calmly to diseo-s an offer of marriage on the basis of its affording a good strategical p.sition in the bit. tIe of life. - Here, therefore, we have Mrs. Wimnbush, a comely widoiv, with a daugAter somewhat prematurely de veloped, on the one hand, and with a mother persistently and ever-green, on the other ; Mrs. Wimbush and her daughter Carry living tog, ther in Whittington L-dgo, Ilighgate ; Mar rables, tho youthfil and the uugrand motherly, dwelling by her.elf at Taun ton, and devoting her time to oolleo ting subscriptions for different chari table objects, nor forgetting her ovn rents. Ms. Wimbudh seld om corres ponded with her mother. They were on the best of terms now, yet, by a sort of tacit understanding, each per. sued the even tenor of her way, very rarely interchanging ecstacies by post. In the spring of 1768, Mrs. \Vim bush shut up her house in lighgate, and came with her daughter to 11 Burueanoth, where she hired a villa. M mny of her friends were staying at 3aurnemonzth, and through the assi., tance of paities and jaunts, and, pic,.ics and balls, she made a great. many more. Among these the Brook shanks must be especially noticed as particularly involved in the brief his tory. Old Brook-hrank, (-o everbudy call ed him,) a cheerful oil person in the shady side of sixty, was very rich, but very unpreseutable, in the eyes of the rather rigid society of the place. He had made his money by the inven tion of a patent medicine, familiar to us 1.11 by the name of Brookhank% Iiallible Ointment. It brought him no end of money. But although lie lived in a grand house in a fashiona ble watering place, lie was still sole proprietor of the infallble Ginitmient, and his London manufactory and de pot was yet in full working, with "Brook.hank" overthe door and pic tures of people with sore limbs all over the windows. All this, society might have winked at-might have admitted him within its door3 upon sufferance, and pretended never to wake to the notion of a "atranger pre. sent in the gallery." But the worst of old Brookshank was, that not can tent with living on ointment lie talked ointment always and puffh ed it every where. It was not hypocrisy ; the man believed in it heart and soul. He said he had a sacred mission to alleviate the woes of mankind, at thirteen peance-hal penny the box iand lie meant it. Hie believed in all his testimtonials--.more devoutly than the writers could have done. Hie was conscientiously of op in ion that hisoeintmaent was, as hbesaid, "good for every mnortul complaint, in. side or out." Hie carried billa wvith hini every where, and d intributed them as zealously as though they had been tracts. "Shall I ceen"said he, "while a single fellow-ceature suffers agony that [ can cure 1 Society could not stand this ; for the muan would have distributed his bills in every ball. room and at every soiree, and never rested till eaeh guest was supplied with a pioture of badl legs and a string of testimonials, lie believed in his mission as much as Mohiamnmed did. lie said lie had committed many sins in his life time, but lie trusted the good his oinitmnst had done to suffer. ing humnani ty might be takeni into ac count whent they were reckoned up. The ointtment was his creed-the ointment his extreme unction. Brookshlank's sister kept l-is house; a litile faded old maid, who believed in him as much as lie did in himself ; who would move sofity in his presence from a reverend regard for the great henaler of the people ; who would pla5ce his last published teostimnonials in her hymn book, and tead them on Sunday with every appearance .of devoutnc's -offering up thanks from her sim ple he art for the goond works lie had been able to) da ; Ikaookshank hn ad two sons, both gettiang on tow ard middle age. Thomas, the eldest, a surgeon with a capital practie, used to de slare that half lisa ases among the poor were those of people anniering from the effects of the Infallible Oiut ment ; though of course he only said so to tease his aunt. His broth.r (Ibarles, was a lawyer of good position and good oifcumstances. Neither was married ; people said they were niot marrying men. WVhat blunders peo ple make,.sometimes, on this score. It was strange what an Impress:o's Mrs. Wimtanah aaamed to make -on those two men. She mot them every whore, and the attentions they paid her wore :plainly ma-rked by something warmer than politeness. Presents, too--flowers and hot-house fruit--found their way both from Mr. Tom and Mr. Charles, to the widoW's table. Of the two, Mr. Tom was by far the most in earnest. Yet she feared to encourage eather, and for some time preserved an attitude of strict neu trality bitween the rival powers, and could conscientiously report that rhe was on terms of the close.it friendship with each of the belligerents; the fact being that the key of her impar. tality was less a matter of sentimont than a desire to ascertain the relative standing of the two orothers in the eyes of their father with regard to futuro contingenties. It was not long before shte had an opportunity of satisfying herself on this point. The sincere admiration she professod for the Infallible Oint ment made old Brookshank's sister her sincere friend for life, and Mrs. Wim. bush became a visitor at the big house. She soon found that old Brookehank had a bad opinion of his eldest son, Tom. Partly, jealously of a man who professed the art of healing as derived from books, and ex pres.ed ecepticism as to the inspira tion of the ointment, and partly dis. trust of a man who might find out its saored ingredients anti hold them up to public derison, contributed to his bad opinion. ToM was a heretic, and an unibeliever In the Brookshank creed -a scoffer at the best authenticated testinoniala-and held the govern. iment stamp in open contempt. Charles was not so. Hard man of law though he was, he consumed quantities of the ointment, or professed to do so, and always said it did him good. Mrs. f Wimbush would talk ointment by the C hour with old Brookshank, and con. sequently became a great favorite, be sides getting the credit for being a most, discriminating woman. The Old mian would even go so far as to 1 show her his unpublished testimonial., and produce great bundles of letters in praise of himself and tedicine. t These the widow would peruse with an exhibition of rapt interest, which was certainly very ed.fyin':. Work ing on the confidence so obtained, she gathered very clearly tiant the younger son would most likey come in for the t largest share of the unguent property. That being satisfactorily ascertained, i Mis. Wimbush vrarmed perceptibly t in her manner toward Mr. Charles, I the lawyer, and froze in the same pro portion in the aspect she presented to NIr. Tom, the doctor. The result was something of an estrangement between the brothers. Torn felt the treat ment, but determined to know his fate. 1 le came to the widow's house, and with very little preface, made her an offer-punip. "Really, Mr, Tom." said Mrs. inmbuih, "you entirely surprise me. Surely, I can have given you no encouragement to-to hope-that-" "Mrs. Wimbuth," said Mr. Tom "we are neither of us chiekens." (the widow winced,) "although, doubtless, I nn a good deal the older of the two. I am not sentimental) nor romantio ; tio pardon my plain speaking. With regard to encouragement, you have given mec quite enough, perhaps, to warrant my expecting a favorahle answer. Trho plain question is, Will yoQ marry me. Tom Brookahank, M. D., aged forty-two !-a man, though I sany it, who went mtake a bad husband, as husbands go," The widow looked down, and twis ted her bandkerchief around her fin gere, plaiting it in knots upon her lap, but did not reply. Mr. Torn looked Into his h it and then out of the window. Then ho said : "Pardon me ; am I too late I .ls there a prior attachment 1" Without venturing a reply ini speech, Mra. Wimbush bowed her head. Mr. Tom slowly gathered together hi~s hat. his stick and his gloves, andI wont out. "Confound that brother of I mine I" said he to himself when ho got into the etreet, "Always supplant ing me. CHIAPTER IV. It was a large picnic party. Mr. Charles Brookshank had drawn Mrs. WVimbusha's arm thbrough his own, and strolled away from the rest. "Howv delightful it would be if one] could knew the langu::ge of birds, asI folks did in the old Hiindoo fairy tales I Would it not, Mr. Brook-I shank ?" "My dear Mrs.WVimbush, they do nothing the whole dlay long but make love and cry, 'Sweet I I would I< were a bird, to make love in music."1 The widow sighed, but it was morei like a purr of pleasure. "What did I know of love till you1 came hero ? eontinjued Mr. Charics. Absolutely nothing-"oxoept," ho added with reservation, in a profes. -I sional way.
