~ Having devoted myself to the service of
Him who said unto the demoniac and the
leper, "Be whole," I go forth, daily, tread
ing humbly in the pathway of. my Wrap
pointed mission, through the dreary re
gions, the close and crowded streets, that
exist like a plague ground in the very
heart of the wealthy town of L—.
They have an atmosphere of their own,
these dilapidated courts, those noisome
alleys, those dark nooks where the tene
ments are green with damp, where ;
breath grows faint, and the head throt
with an oppressive pain; and „yot,„arold
the horrors o f such abodes, hundreds of
our fellow creatures act the sad tragedy
of life, and the gay crowd beyond sweep
onward, without a thought of those who
perish daily for want of the bread of eter
nal life. Oh I cast it upon those darken
ed waters, and it shall be found again af
ter many days. There we see human
nature in all its unveiled and degraded
nakednesi—the vile passions, the brutal
[
coarseness, the corroding malice, the un
disguised licentiousness. Oh, ye who
look on and abhor, who pass like the Phar-
I isce, and condemn the wretch by the way
' side, pause, and look within : education,
circumstances have refined and elevated
your thoughts and actions ; but blessed arc
[ those who shall never know by fearful ex-
I perience how want and degradation can
*tint the finest sympathies, and change,
nay, 'brutalize the moral being.
How. have 1 shuddered to hear the fear
ful mirth with whose wild laughter blas
phemy and obsenity were mingled—that
mockery Of my sacred profession, which
I knew too well lurked under the over
strained assumption of reverence for my
words, ' when I was permitted to utter
them,. and the shout of 'derision that fol
lowed too often my departing steps, know
ing that ono day those immortal souls
must render up their account ; and hum
bly have I prayed that my unwearied zeal
might yet be permitted to scatter forth the
- good seed which the cares and anxieties
should not choke, nor the stony soil re
fuse!
Passing one day through one of those
dilapidated streets, to which the doors,
half torn from their hinges, and the bro
ken windows, admitting the raw, cold,
gusty winds, give so comfortless an as
pect, I turned at a sudden angle into a
district which I had never visited. Thro'
the low arch of a half-ruined bridge, a
turbid stream rolled rapidly on, augment
ed by the late rains. A strange looking
ookin
building, partly formed of wood, black
and-decaying with ago and damp, leaned
heavily over' the passing waters ; it was
composed of many stories, which were
approached by a wooden stair and stied
like galley without, and evidently occu
pied by many families. The lamenting
wail of neglected children and the din of
contention were heard within. Hesitating
on the threshold, I leaned over the bridge,
and perceived an extensive area beneath
the ancient tenement ; many low brewed
doors, over whose broken steps the water
washed and rippled, became distinguisha
ble. As I gazed, one of them suddenly
opened, and a pale haggard woman ap
peared, shading a flickering light in her
hand. I descended the few slippery wood
en steps leading to the strange abodeond
approachad her. As I advanced, she ap
peared to recognize me. ,
"Come in sir," she said
. hurriedly;
"there is one within will be' glail to see
you ;" and ; turning, she led me through a
winding passage into a dreary room,whose
blackened floor of stone bore strong evi
dence that the flood chafed and darkened
beneath it.
In an old arm-chair beside the rusty and
almost fireless grate, sat, or rather lay, a
pale and fragile creature,a-wreck ofblight
ed loveliness.
" Helen,".'said the woman, placing the
light on a rough table near her, "1106 is the
minister come [to see you."
Tho person she addressed attempted to
rise, but the effort was too great, and she
'sank back, as if exhausted by it. A blush
mantled over her cheek, and gave to her
large dark eyes a faint and finding lustre.
She had [been beautiful, very beautiful,
fiery beautiful ; but the: delicate features
were sharpened and attenuated, the , ex-*
quistte'symthetry of her form worn by
want and: illness , to a mere outline of its
former gracefulTroportions ; - yet;eVen a
mid the squalid wretchedness that sur
rounded her, ark air of bygone . stquiriority
gave El:nameless interest to herappearance,
arid I approached her with 'a ' respectibl.
sympathy that,seemed strange to'my very
self. • - . • ' '• '' ''. •

lett. the .room. . After a moment's; hesita
ting pause, the invalid spoke in a voice
whose lOW flineklike tones stole upon the
heart . like aerial music.
" I thank - yeti " she said, "for this kind
visit, those soothing prayers. - .Oh, hoW
I often in my wanderings havo I longed to
listen to such --- Tords l . Cast out, like an
Indian' pariahf,' from the 'Palo' of human
fellowship, I 'had almost forgotten how
to pray ; 'but Odim) shed :the healing
balm of - religion once more upon my sear
ed and bliglited:heart,and I can 'weep glad
tears of penitence, and dare to - .hope . for
pardon." - „
After this burst of excitement,shegrew
'Mere Caln; - atiff&freEitivbriatiokassume d
a devotional yet placid tenor, until she
drew from her bosoin a small packet, and
gave it to me with a trembling hand.
- Read it, sir," she said ;. - "ifis . the sad
history of a life of serrow. Have pity as
you trace the record of human frailly, and
remember that you - are the servant of the
Merciful."
She paused, and her cheek grew paler,
as if her car caught an unwelcome but well
known sound. A quick step was sow
heard in the passage, and a man entered,'
bearing a-light ; he stood a moment on
the threshold, as if surprised, and then
hastily approached us. 1 A model of man
ly beauty, his haughty , features bore the
prevailing characteristifthe gipsy blood
—the rich olive check, t le lustrous eyes,
the long silky raven hair, the, light and
flexible form, the step light and graceful',
us the leopard's ; yet were-all these per
fections marred by an air of reckless li
centiousness. His attire, which strangely
mingled the rich and gaudy with the torn
and faded, added to the rutllentsai.of his
appearances ; and as he cast a stern look
on the pale girl, who shrank beneath his
eye, I i'ead at once the mournful secret of
her despair. With rough words he bade
me begone, and, as the beseeching 'eye of
his victim glanced meaning towards the
door, I departed, with a silent prayer in
my heart for the betrayer and the erring.
A cold drizzling rain was falling with
out, and I walked hastily homeward, mu
sing on the strangescene in which I had
so lately" mingled. Seated' in my little
study, I drew my table near the fire, ar
ranged my reading lamp, and commenced
the perusal of the manuscript confided to
my charge. It was written in a delicate
Italian hand upon uncouth and various
scraps of paper,and appeared to have been
transcribed with little attempt at arrange
ment, at long intervalsl. but my curiosity
added to the links of the leading events,
and I gradually entered with deeper inter
est into the mournful history.
" How happy was my childhood !" it
began. "I can scarcely remember a grief!
through all that sunny lapse of years. I
dwelt in a beautiful abode, uniting the ve- 1
rendes and vine-covered porticoes of south
ern climes with the substantial -in door
comforts of English luxury. The country
around was romantic, and I grew up in
its sylvan solitudes almost as wild and
happy as the birds and fawns that were
my companions.
" I was motherless. My father, on her
death, had retired from public life, and
devoted himself to her child. Idolized by
him, my wildest wishes were unrestrain
ed ; the common forms oflinowledge were
eagerly accepted by me, for I had an in
tuitive talent of - acquiring anything which
contributed to ray pleasure ; and I early
diseOvered that,- without learning to
read and write; the gilded books, and
enamled 'desks in my father's library would
remain to be only as so many splendid
baubles ; but a regular education, a re
ligious and intellectual - course of study, I
never pursued. I read as 1 lilied,o4
when I liked. 1 was delicate in appeal:
ante, and my father feared to control my I
spirits, or to rob me of a moment's happi- I
ncss. Fatal affection ! How did I repay I
such misjudging love i • 1
" Time .flowed brightly, on, and I had ;
already seen sixteen summers, when the
little cloud appeared in the sky that so
fearfully .darkened my future destiny.—
In one'of our charitable visits to the neigh

What passionate eloquence, What romantic
adoration, was poured forth upon :my
willing ear, and thrilled my susceptible
heart!.i: ~
"'Before my friiher's eyes he • appeared
gracefully courteous to me; but nee a
word of•glatrAbetrayed the passion which
in our secret interviews worshipped me as
an idol, and enthralled my senses with the
ardency of its homage. This, he told me,
Was necessary for my' haPpinesd, as my
father might separate u 8 if he suspected
that another shared the heart hitherto his
own. This was my first deception. Fa
tal transgression ! I had departed from
the path of truth, and my guardian angel
grew pale in the presence of the tempter.
Winter began to darken the valley's; our
fireside was enlivened by the presence of
our accomplished guest. On the eve of
my natal day, he spoke of the birthday
fetes he had witnessed during his Conti
nental and Oriental rambles, compliment
ed my father
,on the antique beauty and
massy richness of the gold and silver plate
which, rarely used, decorated the side
board in honor of the occasion ; and, ad
miring the pearls adorning my hair and
bosom, spoke so learnedly on the subject
of jewels, that my father brought forth
from his Indian cabinet my mother's bri
dal jewels, diamonds, and emeralds of ex.
quisite lustre and beauty. I had never
before seen those treasures, and our guest
joined in the raptures (Amy admiration.
"'They will adorn my, daughter,' said
my father, with a sigh. as he closed the
casket, and retired to place it in its safe
receptacle.
"'Yes, my Helen,' said my lover, , ,they
shall glitter on that fair brow in a proder
scene, when thy beauty shall gladden the
eyes of England's nobles, and create envy
in her fairest daughters. .
•" I listened ' , with a smile, and, on my
father's return, passed another evening of;
happiness—my last ! 1
We retired early, and oh, how bright
were the dreams that floated around my
pillow, how sweetthe sleep that stole upon
me as I painted the, future—an clysium of
love and splendor I was awakened by .
a wild cry that rung with agonizing, hor
ror through the midnight stillness :..n. 'was
the voice of my father. I sprang hastily
from my couch, ti.rew on a wrapper, seiz
ed the night lamp, and hurried to his
chamber. Ruffians opposed my entrance ;
the Indian 'cabinet lay shattered on the
floor, and I beheld my father struggling
in the grasp of a man who had grasped bid
throat to choke the startling cry, With
maniac force I reached the couch, and,
seizing the murderous hand, called aloud
for help. The robber started with a wild
execration, the mask fell from his face,
and I beheld the features of Gilbert Cor-

When I recovered "eonciousness, I
found that I had suffered a long illness—a
brain fever, caused; the strange nurse said,
by soino sudden shock. Alas, how dread
ful had been that fatal cause ! Sometimes
1 think my head has never been cool since ;
a dull throb of agony presses yet upon my
brow; sometimes it passes away;, my
spirits mount lightly, and I can laugh,but
it was a hollow sound'—olt,how unlike the
sweet laughter of bygone days 1
We were in, London. My apartments
.were sumptuous: all that wealth could
supply was mine ; but what a wretch was
I amid that scene of
,splendor ! The de
stroyer was now the arbiter of my dcsti
ny. ' I knew his' wealth arose from his
nefarious actions et the gaming table. I
know my father was dead ;' the severe in
juries he had received on that fatal night,
and the mysterious disappearunce of his

still I loved him I A passion partaking of

".One, night ho entered hastily, snatch
ed me from, the luxurious fauteuil on 'which
I rested, and led me, Without 'answering
my' questions, to a 'hackney coach. We
were Speedily hurled: away, and I never
agairilbeheld that home of. splendor: By
by paths.we entered: a :close and murky
street, the Coach was discharged, I was'
hurried over. a dark miry road, and, pas,
sing through a court:yard, the gate
. of
which closed behind us, was lead without
ceremony into a ...wretched apartment,
thronged with.fiercc, naelk,seat
. ed round a table well supplied with wines
and ardent spirits. . Our 066.4136e_ was
hailed' with sheets. ' GPhert was called by
the name of 'noble captain' to the head of
the table, and I :wag suffered disregarded
to weep alone. I seated myself at, length
by the blazing fire, and then first new the
real horrors'of my destiny,
• ' " From their discourse' I gathered that ,
Gilbert had committed extensive forger.y
ies,.and. had that 'night escaped the pur
suit of justice. Bumpers of congratulation
were drunk, plans of robberies were dis
cussed, and the gipsey captain chosen as
the leader of the,most daring exploits con
templated.
" Since that night how fearful have been
my vicissitudes ! Sometimes, asthe splen
didly dressed mistress of private gambling
rooms, I haVe received the selected dupes
in a luxurious boudoir, decoying the vic
tims, by fascinating smiles., into the snare
laid for them by Gilbert and his associ
ates. Sometimes, encamping with the
wild gipsy tribe in some hidden dell or
woodland haunt, where their varied spoils
were in safe keeping. Anon, the painted
:and tinseled queen of an itinerant show,
when Gilbert enacted the mounwba,nlc, and
by the brilliance of his fascinating elo
quence, drew into his treasury the hard
earned savings of the rustic gazers.
"To all those degradations have I sub
mitted, and now, oh, now, more than ev
er, has the iron entered into my soul ! He
has ceased* to love rne. I have been an
encumbrance ; my beauty has Faded from
exposure and neglect. I have. sunk be
neath his blows, have writhed beneath the
bitterness of his sarcasm, his brutal jest,
his scornful mockery of mv penitence ]
and tears. I have endured the av,any of
hunger while he rioted with his compan
ions in profligate luxury ; and yet, if the
old smile lights up his countenance, the
old look shines forth from his lustrouseyes,
he is again to me the lover of my youth,
and the past is a hideous dream. 01), wo
man's heart, how unfathomable is thy
mystery I"
'the manuscript here ended abruptly.-
1 How sad a moral might be drawn from
the history of this unfortunate ! What
rare gills of mind and beauty had the want
of 'religion marred and blighted ! Had
I the Sun ofßighteousness shone upon that
ardent heart, its aspirations had been glo
' rious,its course
"Upward ! upward.!
Through the doubt and the diNtany
Upward ! to the perfect day !"
What mournful are ever a
round us, flowing onward with the perpot
ual under -current of human life, each hour
laden with its mystery and sorrow, sweep
ing like dim phantoms:through the arch of
time, and burying the fearful` records in
the oblivion of the abyss beyond ! How
few of the floating wrecks are snatched
&Om the darkening tide !
I returned the next day to the dwelling
of Helen, but it was shut up, and in the
day times appeared as if long deserted.—
To all inquiries, the neighbors answered
reluctantly that it had been long uninhab
ited, and that its last occupants had been
tt gins; of coiners, who were now suffering
the penalty of iratisportution. I °lieu vis
ited the same district, but all my after
search was in vain, and the fate of Helen
Corrie still remains an undiscovered mys
tery. '

AN OLD WOMAN, was praising in en
thusiastic terms, the sermon of a Scotch
minister who had acquired a great name
for depth and sublimity. The suspicions
of her auditor were a little aroused; and
he ventured to propose a question to her.
" Well, Jenny, do you understand him'!"
