TILE CITY CLERIi. • DY 311 SS CATHARINE, SEDGIICK. 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" aid the turnkey, "both innocent, I am sure f that. There they afe, with a pirate one ide of them, and a murderer the other, en ving_tnemsetAeb. li tuckL.ulas I ....... ,can ,c I OWL -;row what is. I declare, if I don't ex T e.:t ;smile day,.when I unlock their door, to ee thengel of the Lord with them—the ame ab walked in the Fiery Furnace' ••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 88; tlie de r ar child gave them all to me, and 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 I as you, dearest father, have shown us ever since we can remember; and you, dear moth. 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 one effort with Otis I thoUght if he had [ 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 er. I saw him. I don't know what I said. 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' would not rather be Charlie?' • • , 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 dings, and all sorts of pleaSant doings and starting points in life—a day; like other an niversaries; fraught with enjoyment to the young, who have not yet felti' the severing of heart-chords. 1 • I , 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'!

S4TURDAY, AUGUST' 7, 11347. 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 now and them, "if the Colonel conies , t all, he'll come soon;" !d with a sigh , .
