Aud Kathsrine, who did not know thet Mrs. Jollis bad regularly paid for ber boar! at her uncle’s, and ber edecation at schoc was silenced.

With a heavy heart she turned back int the little parlor, not to muse bat to decide ; for she saw, by her aunt’s manner, that n hore ef her relent ng was to be entertainec and therefore she mast act, and that quickly.

The appearance of the house almost daunts |

And now vhen the reality presented iteelf to her in th shape of a mansion, she stood aghast, wiih a soki-g heartand failing courage. In this grand bouse, even if she obtained adm ssion,

bat could ehe be but a cipher?

Poor Kate!

Nevous ard frightened, she had almost de-

termined to return, and was standing irres»- |

sute'y oo the pavement which surrounds the railing of the square, when the bright happy face of a child appeared for a moment a' one of the drawingeroom windows, and after a merry glance at the weather, disappeared.

The apparition nerved Katharine,and cross- ing cVer at once, she rang the boll.

She had no card, but the servant who

| answered the door, and who had lived too} long in his place not to have learned the |

daty of showing civility to all, admitted he: immediately ‘My mistress ie engaged, at preeent,’ he

nota visitor, but had eslled on business; ‘5 perbaps, if it is converient, you aad better eall again.’

earth, can only be ascertained by means of | h

testpits. These quantities will enable those who have knowledge of such work to form a notion for themselves of the cost of the proposed undertaking. Mr. Wa.lace makes no eatimate, because some of the elements of an accura‘e calculation are wanting. But many people,whose judgment is well found- ed, express the opinion confidently that the proposed tunnel ought to be built at a cost not much exceeding f dol- lars. r. Wallace, in his plan, adopts a grade of sixty feet to the mile each way from the middle of the tunnel, and at the deepest point of the river. The roof of the river
