Teach me to feel another's woe, To hide the fault I see, That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me.

POPE.
WHEN Mrs.Beauchamp was dressed, she began to feel embarrassed at the thought of beginning an acquaintance with Charlotte, and was distressed how to make the first visit.

"I cannot go without some introduction," said she, "it will look so like impertinent curiosity." At length recollecting herself, she stepped into the garden, and gathering a few fine cucumbers, took them in her hand by way of apology for her visit.
A glow of conscious shame vermillioned Charlotte's face as Mrs.
Beauchamp entered.
"You will pardon me, Madam," said she, "for not having before paid my respects to so amiable a neighbour; but we English people always keep up that reserve which is the characteristic of our nation wherever we go.

I have taken the liberty to bring you a few cucumbers, for I observed you had none in your garden." Charlotte, though naturally polite and well-bred, was so confused she could hardly speak.

Her kind visitor endeavoured to relieve her by not noticing her embarrassment.
