Carrie Lee's Talisman.
Pketiy Garrie Lee! she lmcl been three
-yeare mi orphan, and during that time, by
her own exertions, had supported her little
brother and sister; and, although she boasted
no higher birthplaco than one of the "cottngo
lioingfi" of America, far would it have
Been from the nicestexquisite to couple with
her the awkard tnaiumers and, rustic complexion
of the country lass. Nor did the
' graces of her person excel those of her miud,
for so the fates willed it, tlmt nn-nncle of her
mother, wealthy, and"a bachclor, wanting
endly something to love and cherish, had resolved
to make her his pet, and insisted on
placing her ?D orte of the'best educational
institutions in the land. Here shcjia^sed
the brightest.days of her life, improving her
t advantages to the full, until fier seventeenth
^ fil,c ft'*1 realized that
her rations sorrow hail, heretofore, been
withheld frbitt lier. ~TIio ?Hden death of |
ihov mother, followed almost immediately by
thai of her father, replied her from a lite of
pleasure to one ot exertion, It was a Rail
blbw'forpoor Carrie, but she became a wo
. gnnn under it, and acted so heroically, as to
win golden opinions Trom uncle Jacob, and
jprovo to him that ho -had. not chosen his
favorite unwisely. But she had not heard
&lj,j oiri 'the settlement of her father's affairs,
?hle found herself almost penniless; only one
" thing remained to her, and her heart clung
i. to this for the sake of its former owner; it
was a piece of ground, the prettiest site 111
- ." the village, and had been her mother"*, -and
. wnien was knowp by the name of Wild
^ ' Cherry Place; what had given it its name,
no ono could toll; ceitainly it was not the
v old'elm trees that were scattered so unsparingly
over it. As Carrie glanced over the
.. beautiful plauo, and felt that every tree, and
nook>an.l 'foclc, was linked with memories
: . of the dead,'she resolved that nothing but
the.greatest necessity should tempt her to
^^c jeli^uish it, and at the same time, she likedetermined
to refuse those kind oflers
aunts and uncles, to take charge of the
h :-70QnS?r children, and nol?!y to depend on
frfeg&fo 'her own' exertions. Carrie had a secret talW
. Mjuiin. that, she was thinking of all this

word of which, Although it only counts one <
when added to Carrie's praises, detracts ten- '
fold from ours, and I appeal to you all, is it <
fair that she should keep this wonderful I
witchery all to herself?" '
Hereupon Carrie was assailed by nuraer- '
ous voices, nil clamorous for her secret, until I
suddenly one exclaimed to Uncle Jacob, j

Harris, do just tell us how Carrie manage* <
so nicely; indeed, I think it is her duty to i
let at least Fanny into tins secret," she add- I
ed glancing archly at a friend near, a bride I
of two weeks. <
" Well, really," said old Uncle Jacob,
laughing, "it's just what I've.been often puz- i
zled about myself. Carrie tells me she has ]
a powerful talisman that aids her, but what <
that is, is more tlinn I can find out." ^
"A talisman, a talisman," echoed several '
voices. "Come, come, Carrie, if you have <
got any Egerias hid down in that delightful {
Wild Cherry Place, let us'all have the bene- i
Ot of it." (
"Oh, Uncle Jacob!" began Carrie, not t
ivin>?uij; wiiiii iu f>}iy. 1
But she was relieved from lier embarrass t
limit by the sudden and flurried entrance of a
Miss Tracy. Every one knew when she ar- (
rived they might expect tor hear the latest i
bit of news out; but to the numerous inqui- <
t ies why she was ko late, Fhe maintained a i
steady reserve until divested of her numer- t
ous wrappers and overshoes; then, seating t
herself in a very consequential way, she be- t
gan1
" Well, where do you think I've been ? " c
And, being answered only by a profound si- i
lence, she continued: "Well, you've all heaid 1
what's been said about the Churckills, them j

Churchill didn't go into the kitchen from
one week to another; and the waste then 1" <
Miss Tracy was nearly overcome.
'Have you been in?" inquired several ?
voices.
' Well," said Miss Tracy, reviving, "'I've seen i
their hired man go to the post-otike almost j <
every'day, an<l fetch back lo?> of letters and ! s
papers, and what looked to me like maag-j i

I'd jest run in an' satisfy myself once for j <

down their books, but kept twirling the I

enough for me. I come away" <
"What was it?" inquired several, in i
breathless attention.
' vYuat ao you tinnk i liodey's Lady's I

in her chair, and seeiriecT much relieved. <

Did wo want to get up a little tableau on J

want to get up a little fancy ball? Godey'i
Costumes were straightway appealed to; 01

ble is inexhaustible. And you will not wonJer,
uncle, that I value the book wh.eg I tel
rou that from that I first got the 'idea o
maintaining us, myself, and by that aid alom
[ have been able to carry-it out. No won
;ler you are surprised, uncle, for I dare saj
rou never looked into a number in yoUt
whole life, and there is such a spirit of con
k'tnnation among certain .classes with rerard
to all such publications. Somebody,
n the first place, condemns a magazine, oth;rs
catch the infection, until the whole sysem
is denounced, and inoBtly by those w^o,
nstead of seeing, have only heard. But tc
ell you what it has done for rrte. When ]
,vas revolving in my mind how I should live,
jrodey's Work-Table suddenly occurred to
ne ; so knitting, netting, crocheting, <fec., fill
:d my bead and time for the next three
nontbs. My articles sold readily and well,
or it was something quite new.vhere, and
his encouraged ine to open a little school
"or teaching others the same thing; you all
inow how well I succeeded in that, for I
jould 6till continue my own work during the
ntervals of teaching; when the market
lere failed, a friend in the city ottered to disjose
of mv articles there. That beutiful soil
pillow, Mrs. Whitten, which you admired
mough to buy, I got from the September
lumber of Godey. My little boqueta-of
voisted dowers, which adorn many of
ihelves, came also from Godey."
' And that superb silk embroidery 1." cried
Kate.
"And those beautiful corners forhandkerihicfs!"
wtid another.
"And all your elegant lamp mats!" ex:laimod
a third.
"All from Godeysaid Carrie, with the
