In
..roor . ehilti! what lonely days she passcd,.with nothing
to recall,
Rut bitter taunts, and careless words, antl looks more cold
than all:" •
By the glowing embers on the .kitchen
hearth of a large old-fashioned farm-Neuse,
sat Abel Martin and his wife. It.was late in
the evening, and a chill blast was without.—
They had been sitting long in silence, and at
length Mrs Martin spoke.
"At don't hardly seem as if poor James was
gone after all!"
She uttered this'in a half-Suggestive, half
doubling tone, and accompanied it by a %try
proper sigh.. Wherever James might be, it
was evident that his loss had'not very deeply
affected her.
"I really` cannot realize it," she continued;
j
"and then to think of sendin his daughtet_to
me to be took care of and rotiglit up. It is
certainly very affecting, ough I don't see
how it is to be done id am not used to hav
ing childrenabout the house. But," she said,
warming With her own eloquence, "she can
pick up chips, and run of errands, and they,say
she is very smart with her needle, and paints
and sings and all that: . She mustn't think to
have any thing to do with such useless stuff
here, but I can keep her sewing a good part
of the time. There's the linen I made three
years ago not made up yet, besides a great deal
of flannel ani tow-cloth; and she can learn to
spin and - weavN i t earn soy, tr bho )earns utimr
things SO quick ? , and I guess I can make her
useful after all." .
.. . . .
Mrs.lMartinansed and looked up at her
husband for a rely. He had been gazing at
tho fire'steadily for the last hour, without the
Flightest chug, of expression in his counte
nance. 134 now raking up, and clasping, his
hands uver his knees, he said, “flannah do you
know how much property your brother James
left ?" •. ' .%.,
,IN,-,:, .
"Well, it was just fit - 6r thousand dollars!"
"Fifty thottpand dollars!. and all to that
girl!", 1
!, , l'ea; and I am to be her guardian till she
is of age. She's a little aver fifteen now. I
Jell you what, Hannah, Wat girl don't 100100
me as if it would take much to carry her oft
She's been always kept to school ever since
her mother died, and looks dreadful pale. If
anything should happen you know the prop
erty would all come to us."
"Fifty thousand dollars.."' repeated his wife,
as if unable to comprehend the amount. '
"Yes; and if you only manage right, it w ill
all be ours. Just keep her right under your
thu inb. Don't let 'her think she can have her
own way at all. Because, in the first place,
it will be the easiest way, and next, when
ihe's'grown up, if she lives so long, which I
can't think, it will be less trouble to prevent
hergetting her money into her hands. For of
course, there'll bo plenty that will be glad to
get such a rich girl."
ConveVng thus, the farmer and his wife
sat until e embers had nearly died (tut upon
the hearth, and all their discourse was of the
orphan girl who had that day coma under their
charge. A mothoir's love she had never
known, and her father kad.lately died a in dis
tant part of the state, whence she had been
sent to be cared for by their relatives. •
Little did James Loring know the miserly,
grasping disposition of his sister and her bus- .
band, when by his will, be left his only cl
to their care. They had not met in many
years, and each had been sufficiently occupied
in the pursuit of wealth to forget the other.
Abel Martin had
. no children.. Perhaps the
influence - of young and generous spirits migiit
have made him a better man. But none
save themselves to provide for, both he an his
wife had gone on, from year to year toiling to
amass property which they could never, enjoy
therriselves nor share with others. But they
welcom i ed their young relative with as much
warmth, as they knew how to infuse intetheir
rds; for she was an heiress and an anvalid,
and t were her nearest 'kin.
Bat oh! how the floor child's heart sank
,within her, as She gaz:d.around on the large
dimly-lighted rooms, whose ponderous furni
ture hail acquired that-stiff immoveable air
which alWays distinguishes' unusual articles;
and a desolate, home sick feeling' settled urien
her heart, as she contrasted this lonelyi t hause
with her own' pretty' chamber Were e ll was
sunshine ant-comfort: Except on great oc
casions, the kitchen and Some - small 'sleeping
ones opened.' The for.
rooms were the only
mer served for all domestic purposes, 'for di=
ding-room and parlor. It was hirgettild al
most as lonely.' as the -rest—brewn beams
loured grimly overhead, - and the Vast fire-plime
seemed ready te stiallow up the Whole. " •
When tide shown , to her "chamber at
night her footatepa • echoed loudly through
the uncarpetted hail and on the bare creaking
THE SONG OP TOIL.
HT AUGUSTIfiII DUGANNU.
Let him who arlll, rehearse the 'song
Of gentle love and bright temente—
Let him who will, with tripping tongue,l
MO gleaming thoughts to fancy's dance;
But let me strike mine iron harp
As northern harps were struck of old—
And lot iis music, stern and sharp,
Arouse the free and bold:
by hands that Iron harp shall "weep iI
j Till from each stroke neer strains moil,
And forth the sounding echoes leap,
To join tho arousing Song ofToib,
Till men of thought their thougtitioutepeak,
And thoughts awake in kindred mind;
And stirring words shell arm the weak,
tatt tettern coats, to bind!
And i crashiog, socon, o'er soul and sense,
That glorimis Litre, Whose iron strings
Are Labor's mighty instruments,
Shall shake the thrones or mortal kings;
And i ring of ale, and anvil note,
Anil rush ot plow through yielding soil,
And laboring engine's vocal throat,
Shall swell the Song or Toil!

Then the wind rose And mado such it e,
unearthly noises, around the house that the
Was filled with - fear.,
••f
At last, j
after two or threejlionrs, she rose
and wrapping a shawl about her,
,descended
to the kitchen. As she opened the door, the
pair, who still sat by the hearth, were started
by her unexpected appearance.
"What is the matter, my dear?" seid Mrs.
Martin; in atone intended to be very gentle.
"ON aunt it is so cold and so lonet i ome up
stairs, I had •rather sit up all night,than stay
there." -
"If you are cold, I'll put more clothes on the
bed but as \ to being lonesome I'm sure there
can't any tlithg be more nice and snug.",
"If you please, won't you let me sit here
till you go up stairs"! I shan't mind it so much
then."
Mrs. Martin looked at her husband, who
shook his head, and she replied. .-
"No, my dear. Cio right back to your room,
and bring you something warm ,to put to
your feet, I etln't have you think to begin _to
be a baby, and if you are afraid of the wind, I
shall lie asharn l ed of you. And don't you ever
come down stairs my dear, after; You have
gone to bed lain,' And another i time you
must wa m be ore you go."
With a heavy heart poor Mary Loring
again a -cendl the stairs, that , seemed
to
creek lo der acid echo longer than before; and
burying her face in her pillow, wept herself
to _Weep.

From that day a neW life opened to the or
phan child. She had come to her aunt glad
ly,for she longed for kindnegs and tenderness,
but she found little there. She was a docile
I.
girl, for the had early learned obedience, and
had scarcely ever known that : she- had a wilf
of her own, far less that it was to be gratified.
She had little strength of mind, little
self
reliance, for faculties 11 t
• sirst rtasywn_mll.“..A.
non.”' corn , .;.:...co to exist. See was of a 1
sweet and uncomplaing disposition, fond only,
of •her books and of the Pretty embroidery,
painting, &T., which she had been taught at
school. But with a sigh she s.ubmittell to be
deprived of her frame and her colors, and soon
learned to bit Meekly at the coarse sewing
which her aunt bountifully provided for her;
or laid it aside without a murmur to draw a
bucket of water from the deep well, or to bring
wood 'in her slender arms.
She sellom spoke, unless it was in answer
to same inquiry, and seemed falling into a
sort of apathy when the Spring came, and its
soft winds and new springing grass, and del
icate blossoms, so like herself, aroused her to
a degree of activity. It had been the gossip
of all the quilting parties and tea-drinking's
of.the neighborhood, that Abel Martin's rich
neice was little better than a servant in her
uncle's house. Many of these murmurs had
reached Mrs. Martin's ears, and perhaps it
was for this cause that 'now 'Mary wad left
more to herself and her own wishes. Sn she
used to wander about the 4voolls, or. recline on
the dandelion and violet-gemmed banks of a
low, sweet-toned brook, that stole through her
uncle's: meadows, or, with her pencil, Make
,sketches of thelpleasant scenes she saw.
An old dog, Ino favorite with the family,
which contrived to pick up a precarious living
in the kitchen and woods, gredually•attaChed
himself to the orphan, and at last became her
inseparable companion. Alone in the fields,
she was more happy tlan she had been since
her father's death. he wove garlands for
the old dog's neck, and while he gravely sat
;
and listened is her, sh told itimlong stories
for Want of other audit rs, and sang her favor
ite songs to the Spring birds. Her cheek
g , .. . rew ' less pale, and , the "gentle medicine"
- that nature offers the' cli.solate, seemed. healing
her griO.
.
The Summer eame, l and Mary still wander
ed out lire usual, gradUally acquiring health
'. nd strength, when owl 'day she was surprised
O find, by her seat, under a hickory that grew
ar the brook, a' pretty rustic basket Of fici.tv
ri and fruit. A thrill ruilted through her
frame, an intense delight that she had not felt
for month's. i They were for her. Somebody'
must,have thought of and pitied her. ' It was
a friend who placed them there, surely.' Ent'
who could it he? . She knew no one, had made
neacquaintances, fur her•aunt had discour
aged any advances Made by the' r neighbors
daughters towards a friendship with ner niece
and she had neither cared nor heeded.
Day after day she came there, and, never
failed to find sow, similar gift: She had
pleased herself with weaving a hundred pretty
Romances, of which' they were the foundation.
One morning all the woodland creatures were
astir. The birds were-busier than ever among
the, bushes; the squirrels' eyes were blighter
re 'they shone out from their mischievous lit
tle'facei; and every deaf was glistening -and
fluttering In the early' bretio;••
With . a light heart, Maryhounded over the

across the.roOk, and,waeboundinguway to

eigiaim, "Miss Loring!, Miss Loring!" 1
i )
From mere force of habit, she paused to lie
ten to what he had to sayeand washalf fright
ened when e.crossed thetbrook and stood by
her side. He offered her the flowers, which
she did not dire refuse, but stood . trembling
end wishin to go._ Thete was nothing very
frightful in he case, at JOst ad thought Lou
is ,Harden, a he , smiledlat ' the poor child's
'paleness. e was a young.farmer, with ra
ther better ducation, better looks, and better
means than ny of his neighbors; and there

Martini, h had made„thits'experiment, an d
.
was well pl ased . with his success:
It is to.b 'feared that the - young farmer's
smirk suffer d that day; for ; the sun was high
in the heave s When he jnitted his haymakers,
end ho often paused and stood Jeaning on his
rake,' as if' in deep thought.
' "What is the matter with you clinch" said
aunt Martin, as Mary 'entered the ilhoi': "your
-cheeks are aired as a piny!, You hay't look
•d so well this year. I told you %would be
the saving Of you to come and lire with me.
But'it seems to me you'le been a greitt 'ways
this morning. Now run right up stairs, and
go to reeling that woolen yarn; you've got so
smart you, can do it as well as not." Mary
gladly escap e d to the Chamber; and in the exe
cution of her homely, but fether pleasant task,
found ample time to think over the adventure
of the morning. It was such an event in her
quiet, aitnless life. ; j:— - . '
"I know I. mustn't dell annt," she thought,
"for then, he says, she will shut me up, and
pever let - me go out of doors again;.but I am
afraid it is very wrong." -
lA . her sho threw
biledalOMl. It Was
chair, a very , small
d of . Hui• nOrrowest,
kety legs, And this
.d she passed a night
. "Oh, dear:" she said 'aloud, "what have I
dole? I have gone on,-and on, reeling this
yarn, and not tied a Single knot, and now ` I
shall have to wind in all 'off and commence
the skein again!"
-
Poor Mary Loring. Something had sadly
discomposed) her that day, for it required all
her ilatiencel to get her simple work right, end
at night, so little had been `accomplished t hat
her aunt bestowed a sound scolding upon her,
and bounced out of the room its a raffe. Nev
er- nau we - out luny - 5-i trannerseeirma - nail so
coarse or repulsive, and a flood of tears con
cluded the 'untoward events of the day.
On the morrow she lingered in the IMuso in
stead of going as usual. She walked fromths
door to the window, took up her sewing, laid
it aside, and to use Mrs. Martin's expression,
i i
"fidgettedi until, Josh g all forbearancee, the
thrifty housewife excl imed, "Miss are you
going to take a walk, or, ain't pan? Because
if you ain't, you can g and fi nish that yarn:
and if you are, you'd better go, 24 as to get
back some time to-day. You wouldn't be in
dulged to take a walk'by every body, I can
tell you. I wouldn't humor an own daughter
as Ido you. Come, if you're going, go!"
The vision of the woolen yarn and the hot
chamber decided the child, and she went out
without a word. • Old Wolf, who had been as
restless as his young friend followed, and Mrs.
Martin stood in the door grumbling. II
"There you go, a pretty pair indeed! Oat's
all either of you are good fur; and if it wasn't
for them that's dead and gone, I wouldn't be
bothered with either of you, the girl or the dog.
But I promised, old tisie Hardepovlien she
gave me that dog when ho was a puppy,' to
keep him, and now I suppose I must. I should
think Louis would come and get him, now
the old women's gone, but if he did, I wouldn't
let him hovel him just for saying that I was
crossio Mary.. Pretty high times! when he
or anybody elare is going to take me in hand!"
So the dime went ,to her Work, and Mary
and Wolf; unconscious of her disparaging so
liloquy, wended their, way ,to the brook . —
She did not. dare to go.quite down, but stood
in tiro edge of woods a moment, and looked
towards the hickory. Quietly leaning against
.
its trunk s to o d td Louis Harden, and ne old Wolf,.
enraged at this disturber Aftheir usual haunt,
briunded forth barking loudly, he looked
around and s i r the trembling child.
In au instant, he had met her, and with a
hundred than l its for her coming, led her to
her favorq seat. A beautiful volume of
il
lustrated pantry lay there, end with delight
she seized it, lei it was so long since she had
seen a new book.
"Did you bring this fur me?'' she said quite
innocently..,
"I did, and I wilthring you a new one er
cry day, if you Will come and take it."
"How gold you are!" said the' child. Isn't
it Strange that my uncle has never broul,
me anything since I came hero to live?"
"You do not know those relatives of yours
yet, Miss Liritig 7 "
Arid, loweririg his voice, Louis frankly and
honestly told, her their whole design 'so far as
actions, w4l 61i, were sufficiently definite, had
revealed it. „:
She did not half comprehend him. She
knew that she had property of her own, but
this 'wasinoW her home, and ih r felt that she
ought to love' and obey them as much as pos
sible. ' She wield not - believe what ho'said,
but he' listened, and It . Was ciieugh:: . -...
