THE NEW SEIGHBOBi
‘ Have yon beard that -wc are going to
have a new neighbor, Phillip V
‘No, I have not, Airs. Ilowey; pray,
who is it ?’
‘lndeed Ido not know. She person
who informed me of the simple fact, could
not remember the name—the stranger is
a female at any rate.’
‘lndeed I I am sorry, that you do not
know her name. I hope, however, she
will reflect credit upon the community.’
‘ I hope so too.’
This was part of a conversation which
took place between Mrs. Howey and Phil
lip Powers, one evenifag in the parlor of
the former. Phillip, being a handsome
young man of large fortune and unblem
ished character, was a favorite in Mrs.
Howey’s family, which was composed of
three marriageable daughters and two
younger ones. Each one of the young
ladies endeavored to appear the most at
tractive in Phillip’s eyes, for they were
aware that he was ’ worth striving for.—
Hence, the young inan was always a wel
come visitor.
A few evenings after the foregoing con
versation had taken place, Philip was again
seated in Mrs. Howey’s parlor, talking
pleasantly with, the mother and daughters,
when the former suddenly exclaimed :
‘ Phillip, I have found out who is going
to be our new neighbor.’
‘ Glad to hear it; what is her ,name V
‘ Miss Jennie Powell,’ said Mrs. Howey,
rather, indifferently. !
‘ Who is Miss Powell, pray?’
‘ Don't be too impatient, .Phi Hip; I’ll
tell you by-and-by. She is a seamstress,
raid is going to occupy a room in neigh
bor Smith’s house and take in sewing.’
‘Oh my!’ chimed jn one of the daugh
ters.
‘ Are you acquainted with her, Mrs.
Howey?’ , 1
1 Not personally j I saw her once —she
is really beautiful, but—— ’
‘But—what?_’ inquired Phillip, grow
ing a little restless.
‘ You will hear enough) about her before
she will have been here a month.*
J Does she not sustain agood character ?’
asked Phillip, getting still more impatient
to hear.
Mrs. Howey was silent, but Phillip saw
a smile of bitter feeling curling her lip,
and he tbougbtabe WasconceaUng from
him eometbing which she Would not dare
to disclose. He felt sony that Miss Pow
ell should not be all bis fancy painted ber,
after, bearing that jbe a beautiful
young lack. He concluded to ask Mrs.
•Ho¥ey’s daughters concerning Miss Pow
ell, but tbeir language was obscure and
indefinite, and He bad im
plicit confidence in that family/and re
.sqlved to avoid tbc society tboir expec
ted neighbor. V
One day itjwas betrided tluougbdot the
village that Miss Jennie fiadiurri
ved, and bad ' stopped* at Mr- Smith’s.—
Everybody was' on -tbe out vive io get a
glimpse ;pf ihe; :
said she yras a croel coque%^ r a * proud
upstart*
her to be,’ while the
whispered itjabout that she. was f .the beau
ty the village.* JPhillip passed' her dc
cariomdly street, andsaw she was
be wasted to get acquain
ted with her in . a private sort of away,
knowing that bis' motives mightbO snis

ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1858.
watched the current of affairs. v Some
winked mysteriously, others knowingly,
when the name of the hew neighbor was
mentioned—all feared to speak much
againsther. ' - : ;
Twh months clapped/ and in that "time
Miss Powell had not made a single ac
quaintance outside ; of Mr. JSnuth’s little
family. At last Phillipdetomuned at all
hazards to seek ah introduction in order
to discover, if possible, the true character
of one whom he had reason to suspect was
so foully misrepresented.
They met and became acquainted.—
Phillip was surprised—he was astonished
to find in Miss Powell so much, intelli
gence, sound -sense and genuine modesty.
So graceful and so interesting! No won
der that inferior ladies began to look to
their, laurels when Jennie Powell came
among them. She conversed on every
subject that presented itself with a readi
ness and ability which made Phillip feel
that he was in the presence of a superior
heitig. He left vastly delighted with his
new acquaintance. Soon Everybody knew
that Phillip Powers ' had had a chat with
the beautiful seamstress.
1 What do- you think of Miss Powell
now V asked Mrs. Howey, always among
the first in such matters.
* Think ? why I know she surpasses nay
expectations at.,any rate/
‘ Why Phillip j In .what respect ?’
‘ Wyy m this ; is far superior in
beauty, intelligence and piety to any
young lady in thcvillage. After hear
ing the gossip about her, I was led to
think'somc of the intimations concerning
her might .be true, hut I know now she is
a model for the imitation of all/
That was a fell |trokc to Mrs. Howey's
vanity, and she hubg her head in confu
sion. Summoning ciourage, however, she
ventured to speak with somewhat of an air
of complacency.
1 Phillip, you know what everybody says
must be true/
‘ That depends upon what motives in
duce everybody to say it. In this instance,
jealously prompted and vanity uttered it;
and if the whole world should repeat the
gross aspersions which have been heaped
upon her, I for one would not believe
them.
The envious know: that Miss Powell is
their superior and might be able to win
for herself the respect and love of all;
hence, they sought to injure her in an un
der-handed sort of a, way, not feeling at
liberty to express in words what they felt
in their hearts j but by knowing looks and
cruel intimations, they endeavored to
blacken the character of one which I be
lieve to be without a stain/
This telling language smote the con
science of Mrs. Howcy, and after Phi Hip
left, she wept. She did not know Miss
Powell, but thought she might be a suc
cessful rival of her daughters; in view of
which, she tried to create a false impres
sion as to the young lady’s worth. She
and her daughters had succeeded admira
bly up to this time, but ,now they feared
all their hopes and Phillip
would be lost to them. He had seen how
affairs had been managed by the cunning
mother and daughters, and his visits be
came as angels,’ ‘few and far between.’
Before a year had passed by, Miss Pow
ell was loved by all. especially by Phillip
Powers. ' JUSTINUS.

There is a crowd over at the corner. — ;
By the dim light 'of the street lamps, and
the lesser flight of two or thee candles held
aloft, the faces of the miserable beings,
gathered there look very haggard; they
are clothed in rags ; they .are blbateffin
visage ; they come apd move around with
tottering steps; they seem to talk to each;
other in drunken'maudlin tone; but shrill
hoove the din may be heard the oath and
the 'curse that roll naturally, alike from
old and young, in that neighborhood.- —
There are police uniforms; and -the light
occasionally flashes from' their shields as
they bear something heavy between them
down the rickerty filthy stairway. Now,
as they reach the level of the sidewalk,
the crowd seems to gather closer around
them, and the light shines brighter upon
each face, revealing. a deeper shade, of
haggard awe. Soon we hear a loud-voiced
boy cry out, “A dead woman I”
A dead woman I But is that ah ?
Eighteen years ago, she was the pet child
of doting parents, who loved and spoiled
her. In her childhood, as she passed you
in the street, you might have said, “ What
a pretty little girl !’* You might have
said it truly, for her features were still
regular. We Cannot 7 tell the vicissitudes
through which the poor thing passed; be
tween that long gone day and the present
so sad an end of life. She may have fal
len an unwilling victim to the seducer’s
art; she may have been trained to a life
of prostitution—there are young girls
trained to such ends all around these
Points to-day—taught that it is a life of
mirth and case, and their sensibilities
early deadened to its shame. To rescue
little girls and boys from so bad au end,
is the mission of the House of Industry.
This morning, this that is now a dead
woman*’ might have been seen staggering
along, the street; to-day, at noon, she sat
on the sidewalk nearly opposite our housj,
leaning against the fence of the Park.—
They saw her try to raise her hand, that
trembled like a leaf in the wind, up to her
head, 'and then they saw both head and
hand sink trembling down to her drawn
up knee. Soon after, a kind policeman
came and aided her to her home —she cal
led it her home in that corner. Once in
side the door, she laid herself down along
the side of the passage-way and slept.-
Boys and girls ran in and out, and men
and women went cursing up and down,
and still she slept. . Many a kick she got
from passers by. At length, some woman
less brutish than the rest wondered, as
she gazed, that the drunken woman slept
so long. She tries to wake her, without
success.' She turns her face up from the
floor, then drops it, and runs frighted into
the street —it is a dead woman ! Lights
are* soon brought, a policeman comes, a
policeman’s rap brings ! his partner, and
with him gathers a crowd—fit representa
tives of pandemonium. They stand and
shudder. The policemom soon place what
is left of the long since nmther’s pet in a
rough hand-cart, and so she is conveyed
to the Head-House. The crowd stand a
moment and gaze, then return to the ac-:
customed channels, and the waves of just
such death roll on again.
0 ye whom God has surrounded with
barriers that protect yoti from such a fate,
rejoice with trembling, and seek to throw
a saving , influence around same little child
that’ plays unhurt besides the river of
death, lest it fall in to. the rapids and be
hurled hopelesly over that fearful Niagara
tof Intemperance 'and Vice that left noth
ing but “a dead 'woman” of what was
once a beautiful flower, and a sweet child
of promisc.-r—JY Y. Tribune.

of a lettor'from a dying wife to her hits*

foundTby * some months aftag .bet
death,. fetween the leaves, of a~toiigiouß
Volume which sho\was ve*y fond of pe
rusing* The tester, which was literally
dim with her te^-marks/was .written long
before her husband was aware; the
Oof fatal disease had fastenedupon
>vely form of his wife, who djfed at
the early age of nineteen:
“When this shall reach your eye,(dear
Gcorgb, some day when you are turning
over the past, I shall have passed iasay
forever, and the cold white, stone w|U be
keeping its lonely watoh oyer the lipdyou
have so often pressed, and the sod wilt be
growing green that shall hide forever frOm
your sight the dust of one who has often
nestled close to your warm heart, j For
many long and sleepless nights, when all
beside my thoughts were at rest, I’have
wrestled with consciousness :of approach
ing death, until at last it has forced Itself
upon my mind; and although to yoi| and
to others it might now seem hut the ner
vous imagining of a girl, yet, dear George,
it is so l Many weary nights have passed
in the endeavor to 1 reconcile inyself 'to
leaving you, whom I loved so well/ and
this bright world of sunshine and bciuty;
and hard indeed' it is to struggle oh si
lently and alone, 'with the snre conviction
that I am about to leave all forever and
go down into the dark valley 1 ‘ But I
know in whom I have believed,’ and lean
ing on His arm, ‘1 fear no evil.’. Do not
blame me for keeping even all this from
you. How could I subject you, Of all
others, to such sorrow as I feel at parting,
when time will soon make it apparent to
you 1 I could have wished to live, if only
to be at your side when your time shall
come, and pillowing your head On! my
breast, wipe the death-damps-from your
brow, and usher your departing spiritinto
its Maker's presence, embalmed-, in i
man’s holiest prayer. But it is not to be,
and I submit. Yours is the privilege of
watching, through long and dreary nights,
for the spirit’s final flight, and of transfer
ring my sinking head from your brcjjst to
my Saviour’s bosom 1 And you shall share
my last thought, and the last faint pres
sure of the hand, and the last feeble kiss
shall be yours, and even when flesh: and .
heart shall have failed me, my eyes shall
rest on yours until glazed by death ; find
our spirits shall hold one last communion,
until gently fading from my view—the
last of earth—you shall mingle with the
first bright gliihpses of the unfading
glories of the better world, where partings
arc unknown* Well do I know the Spot,
my dear George, where you will lay me;
often we stood by the place, and as we
watched the mellow sunset, as it glanced
in quivering flashes through the leaves,
and burnished the grassy mounds around
us with stripes of burnished gold, each,
perhaps, has thought that some day one
of us would come alone, and whichever it
might be, your name would be ott' the
stone. But we loved the spoi, and I
know you will love it none the less, wheh
you see the same quiet sunlight linger
and play among the grass that grows over
your Mary’s grave. I know you wiU go 7
there, and my spirit will be with you then,
and whisper among the waving branches
‘I am not lost, but gone before.*” ‘
