ANNIE GRAY. She was a winsome gi. Never as one more so. Her home was in the"pening of a gorgo of the mountain where the ravine spreads out into a val. Oy,.-not very wide, watered by the stream that, dashed wildly over the ruck a little farther up. The broad low cot ::tago of the widow Gray (as I will call her by your leave, although I need not say I use a fictitious name) was con caaled from view in the day time by a denso mass: of trees and shrubbery, ex cepi on one side where the lawn sloped down to the bank at the creek. Here were usually moored two or three light skilfs' which might ea' ily be iirced up the rapids quite into the mountain gorge and which were often seen bearing An nio and her brother down the current, returning, from some expedition on the ihs. Had you passed along the road which crossed the mouth of the ravine below the cottage, you would not have swpected that a house was in the thick. et above you, unless it had been in the evening and you saw the gleam of the light, or paused, as I often have paused; to let your horse drink at the edge of the broad creek; and then perhaps you might have heard a song floating out of the dark wood, and if you rode on till Inlidnight it would linger in your ears, and you would fancy you had heard a spirit. That man must have a hard heart that did not love Annie. She was the - impersonation of loveliness. I never could describe a face or form. I do not remember friends by their features, and I have not the remotest idea of the color of their eyes or hair in nine cases out of ten. But I do remember her with distinct memory. She was tall, that is, rather above the medium height, and slender but graceful and beautifu ly shaped. Every motion was natural and unaffected, and her footstep was as lig ht as her heart-and that had not a heaviness. Sweet Annie Gray! The music of her laughter rings from ant * the lonesome years like the melodious carol of a bird in the arches of a ruined temple! 11er eye was dark; quick as sunshine in its changes; and full of uin spoken poetry. You might read all manner of beautiful fancies and holy thoughts there. But I linger too long on this description of her. 11er broth. erwas a fine fellow, a year or two oldler than she, and one of the mneriest boys in all the country. Hie loved his sister too, and as I have before remarked love has a reflective force which makes the *lover lovely. Iam completely lout itn a whirlwind of'mcmories new that I return to those days and scenes. There were a thou 'sand incidents of my early life that are brought vividly before me the moment I * recall the old cottage in th~len and its beloved inmates. Ihow startinghy does the trite remark that 'we live in a hclanging world' recur to our thoughts overy day. In fact it cannot become trite. Theovery stars that we wor hmip as changeless sometimes fall, and t te eyes *that we worahip wvith more of devotion than the stars, gow dim, and the hearts thm~ye fancy asimmnutablo, change bio but God. It is attribute of Deity which includes all others, and to whic'h mortals do homage because thiey carmot comlprehend it. -score of years has removed that * cottage from the face, anid its inhabi tants having separated here, have met again up yonder! 0n yoewt theips urmutring hymns and pray. ro ad thir 'hn h tb ert ho'fgleudsof na youi or~k Y r 'e passed away;, ,.14 x. ainq l 'l that c m pany ,: Wt- ,p.) o. ous".s cnd enng ?1 y i o was at its ulhai ' V lttnB , '.et strolling: up the moitain del& Qan G coming down !together, had, nearly ei rea'ched their gbot as-'twllght thetd! l6 ai-ound thn ,' Qfh to; turn ironto p forest, she badoed pus to.it tle iff almost under the fall; an standing ?n it a rock in the very middl0'of the water .w she shook 'her tiny-fist at :the cataract,. tt and held aniock conversation with it. u Returning mysolf urn a day's shoot; g ing on the. mountains, I aw her on ,her iv pedestal before Iwas seen, and throw- ti ing myself down'on the groond,' Watch ' e ed her with. admirii eyes. Uihe herself was not more beautiful. She hi talked to the water as to an old familiar h friend, and in truth if there if there be k sprites and ouphes they must have loved her. Her voice was clearer than that al of the stream, and when she lauglied as le she at length did, at some; odd reply w she imagined the fall to make, the old b arches of the forest and the ravine gave o1 back a musical echo, so that I started ti to my feet and listened to it' as to the voices of fairies indeed. vi But a cry of half terror, and half w laughter, started me, and springing st down the bank. I saw her for a single r instant as she disappeared in the water. lil Her footing had proved insecure and G she slipped from the rock into the em- si brace of the stream she loved. S It was the work of an instant, to d; spring out to her and swim 'but a few w strokes to the shore, and she was not a h particle frightened by the occurrence- m on the contrary the woods rang with r< her uncontrollable laughter as soon as u; she was on the shore. sc I walked in that samo forest two si years ago and heard again the music of bi that ringing laughter through the long tr halls of time; made scarcely noee melo- se dious by its passage through the corri dors of years! to Placing her in the boat and taking hi the oars from Ned, I soon delivered b< them safely at the cottage and bade them ki good night. The next day Annie had a . raging fever and was delirious for ten days. I saw her several times, but she did not recognize me, albeit I was a near relative and had known her from her birth. " There was one voice that she re cognuized, and one face that she looked up to with longing love. It was the tace of Phil. R--, who had won her n pure young heart. But 1. will not in trude on the memory of that love, which is the property of but few now living. Phil is dead too. On the tenth (lay of t her sickness she slept heavily, and woke in her right mind. But, alas fo'r the lear ones around her, it was but too r evidett she was near to heaven. H1er eye was clear and full ofjoy, as if she ti had been, as I doubt not she had, with b angels. Old Mr. Thompson, the clergyman ~ who had baptized uts tall, and hand buried h out fathuers, and had loved us fhithf'ully st fromt the days of our first lispting, stood by her bed, and she smiled joy fully as b site sawy him. al 'Ah, Mr. Thompson, I usecd to wondler de whether I should die with aill around sc me, and this is just exactly as 1 wished mr it. It seemnsstrantge too that 1 amt dy ing. 1 dott't exactly believe it yet. pi Phil, am I dying?' ai 'God forbid, Annie.' a 'Aht! that tone, Phil.! You mean to s say God only can save me, for all htope a: of man is gone. Don't grieve, thtough, fh don't gilieve. Why, it isn't hard to si die. I love thte (lear earth wvell enontgh of to stay here, and the flowers and birds, of andl the brook, and the old scat down th on the bank of the stream; bitt I don't feel so very sorrowful to leave them as 1 en used to think I would. And I love in mother, and Ned, and Mr'. Thtompson, is) and---and---and you, Phil!' and here her 13' voice, wvhich hiad been low but chieerf'ul, lir suddenly tremblcd and she was silent. si At length shte continued in a renewed di tone ofeheerfulness; 'Phtil-- go somnctimnes er and sit on the old sent down theoro by rn the stream and put your arm along the di hack of it and look up---and if you don't mn feel miy kiss it will be because angels' la kisses can't be felt; for if Gdod lets me p PIll come there, and Lake the seat which sv I have so often sat in and lay my head oi on your shoulder.

We supposes there are not many per. sons in thetldited States whol ave no, been brothered for the aivtof knowing how to pronounce the naies of Hunga rian men and places, hicdiebav so much abounded in the paper si ce the commencement of the Magyar War of Independence. At any rate,:we have from time to time beard auch names to pronounced, by intelligntand even d ucated persons (education and Intelli geneb do not always go together;) that their owners would never suspect. .who t or what was' meant. by them. One great reason of such confusion is plain. The cbaracters of the Roman. alphabet, as'ifed by the Hungarians, stand for, certain sounds which either are not 3 found in our laiguage, or are different ly represented. Beside, as in English . the same letter may represent half-a dozen different sounds--as the letter a, for example, has one sound in fat, an other in fate, another in fall, another l in wrath, and so on-who can toll which of these sounds it stands for in an un known foreign word? The great diffi- . culty, as we sce, lies in the absurdities, and contradictions of our alphabet, which can only be remedied by substitu ting for it a phonetic alphabet, in which every sound of spoken language shall have its proper letter, and each letter 2 shall stand for one sound alone. The want of such an alphabet must make the explanations we give below, at best - only. partially useful; but we must .do as we can with the means at hand. So, let those who wish to learn Hungarian t pronunciation take their places for a lesson: Kossuth is pronounced if written Kosh-oot (oo as in moon) ; Gorgey is not like Georgie the diminitive of George, but as if written Gayur-gay, at least that is the best way we can think of for conveying an idea of' the vowel sound in the first syllable;-the vowel it self we have not in English." The name is sometimes spelt Georgey which is to ally wrong; if you want to spell it af ter the German fashion it muEt be Gocrgey as Gothe is sometimes written Goethe. . The name of Count Wass, the envoy in this country is pronounced Vosh; that of Nadgy Sandor, the famous Mag yar cavalry officer, in Nodi Shandor, the a in the second name (which by the way is the christain name,-the lun garians always put the surname first-- t and means Alexander,) being pronoun- t ced as a in far; Magyar is Mod-yar; Acs is like arch with the r left out; De breezen (this is the true spelling of the t word though the Germans from whom r we generally copy, write the last sylla. ble with i) is Dobret-sane; Miskolcz is Mishi-koich; Bisztrick (the Germans write it B3istriez) is Bistrits; Szekler is is Sake-Icr; Szegedin is Segedin; Csor. na is Chorna; Saros is Sharosh, (a as in far.) list is properly Pesht, but the German pronunciation, rest, uni versally prevails in other countries. Bacska is B3atch-ka (a as in far.) Keeskemet is Kotch-ke-mate. Csegled is Cheg-led. Pere is Pertsel, the e in the first syllable being as in the first syllable of derr-g. Bekes is Bay-,kaysh. Aszod is Ah-sode. Temesvar is tern esh-var (the a as in far.) Gyongyos is -a stumper, and we defy any man to< describe the way it is pronounced, so that another can pronounco it -aright from the description. Those who can't find any one to teach them the sounds orally, must content themselves with a provisional pronunciationi till they can. Szony is not so much unlike Siane-yi as a barn door, but then it is by no meansi theo same thing. Godollo is something like Gay del-ieh, but not exactly. Therec are a good many German, ,names in 1Iungary, both of men and< places, which are pronounced according to German rules, 'as for instance, Theiss (pronounced Tice;) the Magyar-name of that river is Tisza, (Tea-ea) There' are a!so a good many Sclavonio names whieh also have their own" rules, as 'for instance Jellacie, which is pronounced Yel-latch-itch, with the emphasis on the second syllable. . Kossuthi is 'also 'a Sclavonic name, but has been Magyar! ized.' Kniejanin is IKuninich-yan-im. - That is enough of, examples: lot' us now havo a small portion ofpinciples.
