smile than little Ruth Hathaway's. Perhaps
it derived this quality from a cast of sadness
and core on her brow; it was a shadow on a
rose. There it fell when her father was
brought home from his new factory with the
flesh torn from his arm and leg, and there it I
remained indelible. As to the rest, the faCe

eyes are rather small and grey ish , and her
complexion, clear' and pure, is not brillitint.
Her hair not only does not curl, and is neither
auburn, chesnut nor raven, but a very coati s

"Ruth, wb9t are you listening for?" asked
the father; stl hear.nothing but the factory."
"Nor 1, father; I wish we did not always
hear that,—it—"
"It puts 'yell in mind of father's accident?
I know, Ruthy, and so it does me, but then it s
sets' me off thinking how my life was spared,
and how I should nevm have known what a
good woman mother is, but for that—'t is ,not
every wife that would care for such a poor
rack as I am."
"0, father!" exclaimed • both mother and
child.
"Well, then, it is not every woman that
would give up the thoughts of being the wife
of a rich agent tor a company, move out of a
nice new ,hotise, and stitch, and stitch from
morning to night to support' her family.—
Who has a right to be cheerful, if I have not?
I can tell you there's times when the factory
makes my thoughts go straight up."
Our friend, Hathaway's voice was rather
4ked• he cleared it, and added, "but what
t
were you listening to : Ruthy, dear?"
"Why, father, I was listening fur the rail
read whistle; we always hear it, you know,
when . the wind is west."
'Why, 1, heard - it, Ruth, when y l ou were
setting up the dishes."
"Oh, did yOu, l father!" then Charlie's letter
is near the post-office by this time."'
"Don't be too sure, my child;''
"I can't help, being sure, Mother., Charlie
never fails to write when he says he will,-and
this letter is to tell us whether he can come
home to Thanksgiving, and its' only twelve
days to that, and I shall be just sixteen that
day."
"Yes, yes, ,Ruthy,'' said the father, "come
what may come, thanksgiving d&y will always
be thanksgiving to us."
,'
"Oh, there's Colonel Miles!" exclaimed
Ruth, and she rushed to the door, not, howev
er, without giving her father a brush of a kiss
as Fhe passed.
"Colonel Miles!" she shouted, t‘cau't you
please to stop at the post-office, and bring our
'letter from Charlie?' The Colonel vas not
going to the post-ollke, but his turning off
place was near it, and it was but the work of
two minutes for Ruth to beg a scat in his lit-
tle wagon, to get he mother's leave to go
herself to the post-office, to take the Chance of
the - two mike' .caulk home if she did, not get a
cast, and above all to obtain leave to open the
letter herself, as soon as received, to 'whith-

a 'commit man, livingat r Ir. Gardner a in the

Ruth. It enclosed one from Charles. On
Ruth's letter wass written in large ch'aracters,
"Read this first;" and the - mother read as fol

"P. S. Direct to me 'fare of Robert Hen
shaw;' he is my friend among the clerks.']
There was a dead silence in that home] of
,
the Hathaways, till 'thd father breaking Out
into something between a cry and a laugh
said "Mother, Charlie is an honest - boy ami
well-trained, and that should be , comfort
enough; how often have. you said to ,me

taining her chtingeof clothes t in her hand, she
walked straight urk . Liberty street to Broad-,
way. Her ,quicle step had caught the eye of
an omnibus driver, who' beckonedtolier, and
*she nodding affirmatively, jumpedl, into the
coach, thinking "how very kind it was of him
to. give libr n ride!' She, asked a i nan, one
of four fellu'w passengers, to tell her %ken she
got to 'Canal street, accordingly, the man
pulled the svap, the coach stopped, : , and
with her habitual invetuous moveinent, she
jumped out, and dropping a little urtesy to
the driver, said; "Thank you, sir." lie, fan
cying she was tricking him milted o l ut, , That's
cool! Step that hussey F She's dodged her
fare" An inpediment of vehicles had accu
undated the passengers on the side valk at the 1
corner of Canal street. Every eye was turn
ed
on'our poor little stranger: Se stopped,
turned round, amtin a voice tha t indicated ,
her "honest perplexity, asked, "What does he
mean?" "lie means'to be paid, my child,"
said an 7iderly gentleman, who tas struck ,
with the simplicity of ilutle.s manner, and him
self gave the fare to tho vociferating driver.
Ruth now comprehended her mistake, and re
paying the sixpence, she said with her char
acteristic good sense, '1 am a Stranger in
New York, sir, or I should liave kmiwn better.
He invited me to ridewith him, and the peo
ple where I live often give rides to ditran4ers."
Ile, friend again smiled at her simplicity,
adtised her to keep a good , 100k -out, now she
hid come to, the city, and they parted-lie
thinking her'sweet smile might pay her fare,
and she to kink for the sign of "Ii own, Wil
son & C 0.," which she soon found and enter
ed the shop. It was thronged with , eager
buyers and civil clerks, intent on their sales.
She looked up and down the long counters,
all were utiftnown to her, till at the extremity
of onei-she saw Otis Jackson. his eye met
hers and instantly fell; she saw that in that
glace he l had recognized' her. lie was her
townsman and an old schoolmate Of her broth:
er, Charles Hathaway. Ruth went to the end ,
of the counter where he stood, and said, 'Otis!'
her voice was low, but it had zi heart-sound,
it seetned.to come, as it indeed did, from
other world than that vanity-fair thin sur
rounded her. I Ladies, examiniug laces, pat's-

can beamingly add some remarks, suggested

Until within a few, years, little was'known i
in this country of the Norwegian character. '
Miss 13remer's enchanting works brought the
American public to the, first knowledge of.i
their character. Her de ! scription of their in.
dependence, general - education, virtulue fru
gality and tidy thrift, open net light to ma
ny, to whom the people and in ititutions of
Norway had heretofore been a sealed book.-.-. :
And now the thousands, or tens of thousands
of Norwegians who are making a hone in our
Republic, render a knowledge of this 'people
both a matter of duty and patriotism. We
