Ten days had passed since Ruth's -depar
re fur New York; and each of these
ys the parents had rece 'ad a letter full of
r'ection 2 `and of details of every occurrence
tl at could be put in a cheerful light. Their
c iildrea did nut express strong hope, for they
‘ ould not embitter a too probable disappoint
s cut; but neither did they impart their fears.
‘E'ori if worst comes to wo*," said Ruth,
4 mothen will bear it better when I am with
fi l er." The deportment of these young peo
ule—their mutual alfeetion—and the earnest
t evution of the sister—won for them unusual
(I
respect and attention from the,officers of the
rison. "There those innocent cbilqren aro"

••Ati sne r miii.os girl is that," said the mat
on. “Sometimes when we meet the vaga
ands going along the corridor, just tame I in
from the FAT Points, she looks scared, j and
gathers her clothes closd round her,' as if she
were afraid of the plague; yet she'll stay the
live-long day—yes, and till ten or eleven at
night---in that dismal cell, and,talk and read,
and keep np her brother's spirits. She be
gins with the Bible in the morning; and ends
‘N ith it at night; and between times they read
out of Dickens and Puch, and every kind of
nonsetJe Mr. Ilenshaw tlngs; and they
laugh t gather; and their laugh soun4s like
tho hes of music in a dark night. She is a
wise lit le thing too. Mr. Ilenshaw sent her
a baske fullef every kind of notion, from the
confectoner's. She would not take them to

asked .Mr. Ilenshaw—and so modestly too—
ik he i'vobld send her brother every day a bit
of beef-steak, or a mutton-chop, to keep up
his health and spirits. *She has been what I
call well-trained."
The last letter received from the young
Hathaway was dated on Tuesday. I hatles s
part expreps'ed, not a hope, but, a heerful
courage that he was sure could not fail him,
while his friends had faith in him. "You
have trained me up, dear parents," he' said,
"to believe that the important thing is 'to do
right, tot to soon right,' and now I mean to
feel and act accordingly."
Roil wrote thus: "The trial comes onto
.
morning. There is nothing- new
come toqight; so we are preparing for the
worst. The amount of the stolen articles put
.
into Charles pocket is less than 825, so that
they cannot make grand, larceny out of it;
and he cannot be sent to Sing Sng, only over
to Blackwelrs Island. The period of his de
tention there is at the discretiou l l of the Judge.
Mr. Sandley . thinks it cannot bp long, with
such testimotrils to brifig for Ward as Miss
Emma has sent to us. Oh, th4nks to had—
The worst—no the best—of it is, that Char
lie positively refuses to have any Suspicion
thrown on Otis. Mr. Henshaw feels sure he
is the real culprit, and Mr. Sandley thinks it
more than probable."
"You rethernher.his eiclama ion when the
•
•
Clerks were to be searched. Charles has en
impression thayte felt something at his coat
pocket, which we both feel sure was• Otis
thrusting the pardel into it. • But we know
(this would be no evidence in court, s?Char
lie 'wont tell even Mr: Henshaiv, or Sandley
of it. He says time will bring out, and
meanwhile, let Otis have a chance. Is not he
just like father? Lot it storm ever So horrid
ly, he always believes it will be fair weather
tomorrow; Mr. Henshaw feels certain that
Otis will prove the rogue at last,, , and' so he
says, 'he don't see the use of sacrificing an
honest fellow to him, in the meantime.' Ho
watches him as a cat does a mouse. The reit
'i.eons of Mr. Henshaw's suspicions are these;
Otis is out late at night ; and he comes late to
the shop in the morning. He dresses far be.
yond his means, and igoes often to places of
amusement, especially to the theatre, where
Mr. Renshaw says, clerks buyer should go;
I
and Mr. Henshaw says, he has'been seen in
'not die bist of, company,' at , the theatre. I
don't know quite what he means by that; but
I• surmise its something awfuli The people
where Charlie boarded were veiy fond of him;
and they will give their testitm i ny that he was
pefectly regular in his habits; and Mr. Sand
ley will call on Messrs Brown & Wilson to
testify as to his conduct in he - shop. All
this, Mr. Samlley says, mayot overbalance
the one circumstance against him; but this,
with the documentscfrom Miss Emma, M.
Sandley says, will go a great Ways with the
governor. , So, if Chatlie is sent to the island
I shall ge straight to Albany; for the living
voice, with a throbbing heart under it, moth
er, is better than ti: dead writing. And if we
don't get a pardon, why then (patience, dear
father and mother—heavenly patience!—such

as you, dearest father, have shown us ever

er, too-:-only jest borrow a little hppel and
cheerfulness from father, and he sure—be sure
i t will all come right; and Charlie will shine
out to the world as he shines to us, who are
above the clouds, and can See the sumall the
while; and
, if the world never knows, still
cannot we be content and thankful?—We
will. So, dearest mother, take courage! God
will help us all! ind I shit soon be with you.
"P. S. I could not feel easy not to make

[ plunged us in this trouble, he Would feel when
he came to see me and remembered the days
when we were playmates and happy togeth

My heart was full, and it poured itself out,
but I got no satisfaction. He denied—refus
ed. But oh! dear mother, I feel serer than
ever that he is the guilty one. His eye did
not once meet mine; and he ' , looked red and
pale, by turns; and when I came away the
tears were running down hiS cheeks. Who'

It is "Thanksgiving-day"--4 day of old con -i
secretion, in New England, to funny festivi
ty and family union --a day 4rperry meeting
and merry makings—a day' for rustic wed

starting points in life—a day; like other an
niversaries; fraught with enjoyment to the
young, who have not yet felti' the severing of

The Thanksgiving day connected with our
.story came in heavily enough :to the Hatha
ways. It was Thuriday. Ruth's itat letter
was dated the pre - ceding Tuesday. The trial
was appointed for Wednesday morning, and,
as it would'be deemed a small - affair by the
municipal authorities, (albeit involving the
happiness of an entire family,l) it would prob
...
wentagainst them, Ruth would leave New
Wirk in an afternoon's boat for --,Albarq.
The day had come 'in with a furious easter
ly snow storm. M. Hathaway was refolding
Ruth's letter, after-reading it for at least the
twentieth time, when a sleigh stopped at his
dooj, and Col. Miles, shaking the snow from
his ]ion shin car, and stamping it from.
, his
feet, opened the door. 4, 4 pretty tedious
storm this, neighbors," he said. "No news,
of course, since the letter I bought you from
the post-Office yesterday'!"
"No, sir; none," replied Mrs. Hathaway,
"we could not expect it, could we, Colonel."
"Of course not ma'am; and I mistrust we
shall have no mail to-day. The river will feel
this cold snap. Ruthy, poor little girl, should
be, according to hex letter, at Albany to-day;
but I think theretll be no boatup. However,
if there is a mail, you'll be sure of & letter; so
I shall go on to the post-office afterl meeting,
and wait till the stage comes - in."
"How thankful we ought to be fqr such a
kind neighbor as the Colonel," said good Mrs.
Hathaway as the door closed after him.
"Yes, mother, we have,a great deal to be
thankful for, on the right hand and the left,
and we must not make a poor mouth if we
have our share of trouble." ,
"I know I ought to feel as you do, father,
but I can't help thinking all the time whai. ifi
Ruthy to do after Charlie is , sentenced to that
deaolate
"Do? why she'll do the right thing. Now
mother, wipe off - your tears, and don't forget
it's Thanksgiving day; let us keep it. And
who has more reason. l ls not it Ruthy's
birth.day?"tj
"J be sure, the childre_t! have been on a
troubled sea; but have not they lain their
course well You know I have nothing to do
but sit here, and read and ruminate; and a
happy life it has been to me, since Iwas quite
overset as to outside prosperity. I !have got
a habit of lo"olcing inward, and I have come to
the conclusion that it is rot the ci?cumstances
we are in that matters, but - how they 'find us,
and what they make of us. Look at our dear
children, mother, how they have 'held fast
their integrity. ' Look at Charlie—calm and
manly, and so - generons about Otis. He is
not of those that hold to m i sery loving com
pany; a mean company that. And dear little
Ruthy, her love for her brother has carried
her, as'it were, - through fire and water! , I
'tell you, mother, we did not know the chil
dren till now. A real Thanagiving day it
shall be to us."
Poor Mrs. llaltaway would have smiled
her assent, but it was a sunbeam vainly strug
gling through clouds. "11l try 'to make it
Seem like Thanksgiving,'' l she said; so she
brought forth a provision basket, sent by their
kind friend, Miss Gardner. l "What a lovely
plump turkey," exclaimed Hathaway, as his
wife'procsded , to .unpack the basket,' "and
cranberry-sauce, I dare sa y , in that little jar;
Yes; just like Miss 'Emma; to think .4 that:
What'is in that covered dish'! Oysters, I de

but Miss Emma ie . .throughtful to poor folks.
A bottle of wine,
,ton: ,_Well, Miss Emilia
and I are of opinion that it's right for temper
ate people to take a cheerful glass once in a
while. You are a teetotaller, mother: Ink you
won't object to my making' my heart glad ac-
Cerding to scripture. Now, would it not have
been a shame for us,not to keep the difl"
"Mrs. Hathaway assented by proceeding
to get the dinner in progress; and - when the
turkey wa s fairly routing in the little Stove
oven, Hathiway . said, "Come here, other--
I Can't kneel, you kuow, Pve never had; 'that
satisfaction 'since sal leg was broken; but I
trust my heart is in the right position--kneel
down here on my well side, and we'll have our
worship,, though it be a dark day outside and
in. The wife . knelt , resting her troubled
brow on the arm of her husband's'• chair.—
Hathaway's spirit of cheerful Brat +e shone
like a sun on all the salient !pain s',ol their
lives. God's mercies seemed to e Sown at
broad-cast around Ahern. He thanked God
for the peace, prosperity, and progress of the
country—for their abounding political ad
vantages and gospel privileges; not in an in
expressive mass, but in such detail that each
seemed to have made its impress on his heart.
He spoke of the rich harvest of the year with
a glow that would have left no one to believe
that not an ear of it had been turned into .his
girners. ,He thanked God fur his pleasant
home, and his well-covered , board—for kind
neighbors and bountiful fileds—for the dear
' mother, with industry that i ever tried, and
love that never abated. He banked him foe
ri
his oivn health—for painless limbs—fora con
tented mind, and a 'spirit Of enjoyment. His
voice :trembled slightly when he came to men
tion his children.—"his dear, absent children."
He paused for one instant, ,and then added,
with a sincere tone of courage, and heavenly
gladness, "We thank three that they have
manifested themselves Thy children too.—
Though they have passed through',,the waters
they have not overwhelmed them; and through
fire, it has not scorched them. We thank
Thee that Thou haat given them thus early
to see the, value of innocence and the 'power
of affection." When he finished; Mrs. Hath
away rose comforted, and'sai4, "I almost for
got it stormed, tither:" And-she did proceed
with a step somewhat' lighter, and - a heart
somewhat less faint, with her preparations
for dinner, or, as our country-folk still call it,
supper.. Her eye turned often an d anxiously
to the clock. She looked out on the rolNlie
Colonel was to Come...remarked that tie
storm grew heavier—and wondered again and
again if Ruth were on her way-to Albany.—
Presently a sleigh-bell s heard; but it was
itPa .
ing from meeting, who called, with a mes
sage from the kind Colonel. "The mail was
not in," he sent them word; "it might not
coe till after dark, but he, would wait till it
did come. ; . I
"The cOlonel is wine and oil, too," said
Hathaway. "It has been so from the begin
ning of t hi s trouble. If we have a disappoint
ment, there's a cotikfort comes hand-in-hand
with it."
The days, as we have• said, were at their
shortest. Mrs. Ilathaway moved slikly, the
afternoon was very dark, and the shadows of
the stormy evening were thickening, then
the father and mother sat. down to their
Thanksgiving meal. Mr. Hathaway's grace
was much longer than usual, but there was
no allusion to their affliction. He could no
now trust his voice for this, his body and mind
were beginning to feel the pressure. It was
only half-past three! he wondered it was so
dark! dud again and again he wiper: his eyes.
He suffered "mother" to cut up for him his
favorite bit of turkey. He took according to
our . rural custom, "a little of all" the various
vegetables and cOndimente, andthough he re
marked, "there never was a tenderer turkey,"
there seemed never te have been a tougher
one in the chewing. As to the pour mother
she could not eat=she loathed the sight of the
food; and when her husband, who had tried
not to observe her as she moved the dishes on
the table, first out of their places and_then in
to them, and turned her food over and over on
her plate, without tasting it—said, "Poor
mother, there's no use in trying!" she moved
back her ,chair and took refuge in her little ad
joining bed-room. There she sat by the win
doW, looking up the road:as fong as she could
dic4.ern fence or tree as landmark. The night
settled, down on the earth tis it had on her
spirit. The snow no longer fell, but the wind
t- .,
rose and gusts came sweepi g dowri the hill
side, and roaring in the chi ney, and pene
trating every crevice of the light tenement.
She shook, as if an ague were on hel., as she
returned to her husband, and drew her chair
close to him. ' "You Fad best light a candle,
mother," said he; "Col. Miles will want a
light to guide him through this driving storm:
light two and set then. in the window." She
lighted and placed them, and, sat down again;
the table was. left standing. A woman ac=
esteemed to perform the domestic offices
through all the routine of lift--too steadily'
on, come what will, joy or sorrow, with the
- .
periodical preparations that 'sustain:and solace
animal life must be paralyzed bef 're she ne
glects them. And so was poor h rs. Hatha
way. Tho thought of i ller good, honest, true,
ever-cheerful boy, in the convict's uniform,
among the motely gang of culprit and co -
mitted vagrants on Blackwell's' Island; such
as she had heard it described, with the neglect
misrule, and wretchedness that prevails there
—the thought of her little Ruth—where was
she this cruel, stormy night? No wonder the
poor woman had left the table standing as it
%,.,
was when she and her ueband rose fro it—
neyonder she sat ; no leaning ottlthe rm of
her husband's chair, lip ning for the Col net's
sleigh-bells and heart g only the ho ling
'storm, and not, heedin it, she heart hei hus
bands's little consolati ns dropped in every
