THE SISTER 'OF CHARITY. ;
BY LUCY HAMILTON.
4 •There 'thiothei and ri better World.",
HoW;sweetly firlls such assurance upon the
.despairing.. sufferer's ear, whose. tortured
heurt haft mourned the faded fleeting vis
ion of its earthly hopes—roused from its
sullen-griefs, the hitherto torpid soul ech
oetritcdeep response to the welcome truth,
and blesses the messenger of glad tidings
to the bruised spirit! • '
The headlong bowed in gloomy nbase
ment,-. is npraised with sudden energy of,
purpose—the dull eye,ofdark despondency
gleams - from its sunken depths with a fiery
'brightness, . flashing its living light upon
'thecheek, burning itsimpression there in
hateful hues.
Reader ; if, like me, you can recall the
lithe'Wheri religious consolations breathed
'intnyour ear tenderly andspiritually, first
• penetrated a heart petrified .by long suf
-Whip, you wilt know how to value those
lingels.of mercy and kindness, who hover
around": the sick and dying, to minister
-rhippOrt and sympathy in the dark hour of
• mortal'despair. •
1 Chanced, while-making the tour of the
Northern States, during'the year - 1820, to
•
be taken - suddenly ill in the city of Bos
tou,:and, in consequence, had myself re
moved froin my hotel to the sick hospital,
Siattibt of Charity were among the regu
-laiattendants, numbers having volunteer
ed their assistance on account of the dn
. culty or procuring nurses. •
Despondency of mind, more than any
thintelse, induced me to put myselfout of
theway of officious friends. Life had long
been intolerable to me, and the prospect of
':yielding up the ghost in a strange city, far
'from home and all its associations,had no
terrors for me—l wished only to be remote
from obtrusive sympathy during my ill
ness.
"Doctor," said I, to the attending phy
sician,. "select me a nurse, still and quiet
.as the . grave, one who will pay proper at.
tention to my physical comfort, without
(sniping my mind with her efforts to di
. v.ert ., oi entertain—for these qualifications
t will pay any price."
He promised that every, thing should be
mil wished, and in a short time rifler his
'departure, tne . tall, sable figure of u nun
bent over my pillow presenting some li
quid nourishment to my lips ; which tiller
Flsid partaken of she silently withdrew,
\nridAaking . her station at the foot of the
bed, began reading her prayers. Through
the-slightfy parted curtainj surveyed the
abeie countenance of the nun, bending
in'Wrapt devotion over her book, all un
conscious of observation.
• A tranquility that I had long been a
stranger to diflused itself over my mind,
My fascinated gaze continued rivetted up
on' the face of the nun,. I seemed to respilT
the - atmosphere of purity which surround
ed her, and, infidel though I had over been,
• felt a yearning to participate in her holy
• emotions. Anxious to arrest her attention,
1 groaned audibly, and made some excla
- nuition-ofimpatient misery. In an instant
*Winded, cup in hand, like a spirit to my
beil,side. 1 put aside the proffered bover
age and said:
. Wise, judicious nurse, should know
.• Oe -Malady of her patient, before ventur
.stig4n rifler relief—but, perhaps," continu
e ed. I, plaintively, "your skill assures you
tfiaf it' *arta vain toofl'er other than sooth
ing_nostrums. for the body's case, and yet
iriirthemind that racks with pain the weak
tKidynery 'conscious moment is one of
- agony; to me—l am a blighted; disappoint
. •*pulp, hopeless of consolation, and only
Mit .forthat-eternal sleep which consigns
. all:my woes to oblizion.."
C . .. , "'our sins, I fear," replied the sister,
~!firniet,-.lay heavily upon your conscience,
'to Cause . such 'despondency, for the woes
'of "the pure-Minded Christian, however
deep, do not exclude every gleam of hope
from the figure."
4 . 4 sWmistortunes," I rejoined, "are great
er-than my sins,
at
.least to my worldly
conseiammess; for, strictly speaking, I
have violated no rule of morality which
shoAdd regulate the conduct of fuvllonor

My companion raised her lovely eyes to
"leaven. with an expression of intense en
thusiasm, as if appealing for its intlune
Over me.
"Unhappy man," she exclaimed, "I can

to the recognition of the divine truths
, ;r :wltich the gospel teaches."
1 4 .1 ff y gentle nurse, if your heart was op
:pressed with woes like mine, you would
licit have the power of guiding your under
--atandinA' through new channels to seek
cOne f olation. - Your principles of religioh
- - "were imbibed so early, that they seem like
, .
the breath of life breathed into you at the
time of your creation—your heart was
deeply wedded to these, before your under.
standing had• power to act, and now it
i`' would seem like sacrilege to rend in twain
the mystic veil which separates truth from
dice
prep " .
"Truth from piejudice!" said the nun,
dwelling on the wards, 4 , 1 love the
pure—the,.good—the elevated—
, the sublime, In nature ; and and I look
ihrough 'nature up to' nature's God, for
that inspiraticin which enlarges the capaci
ty of,my Eoul Alt enjoyment ; and imbued
.with high end holy sentiments, , I manifest
thigh as reason and revelation ,directs.—
Religien not only fits us for another world,
but g,pides us happily through, this. 1
could nut live without its support; it is my
shield arid buckler in the hour of trial.'
"The trittla which 9ne of your pious and
peaceful sisterhood experience, aro not of
that distracted nature which rend the mind
' , and heart with their stormy blast—your
strife is, not with, youlself; but With °Hied'
more udarned, uniegulated:"
“Yer separate us strangely frontithe rest
of hu Mani tyil' she replied,: ~ f r- you'imag
ine we:have ncaelf-conquest to obtain. It
is not . natural to suppose that we should
renounce our love of, ease, all personal
gratification and delight; solely in pereofm
ing unpleasant duties to others, without a
severe struggle:L.—perhaps extreme suffer
ing soon prompted the resolver to do so."
"And do you find in religion a sure and
certain solace for earthly wool"
"Most assuredly I do—and experience
more lusting and
,heart-felt enjoyment from
acting under its inspiration, than the pleas
ures of the world ever aflbrded me."
"Oh God 1" I exclaimed, "that such a
solace were mine—for wounded in the
dearest of affections of my heart—disap
pointed in every aim Of ambition—reduced,
to comparative beggary by the fraud Of
my most trusted friend—l am weary of
striving after the substantial nothings of
the word, and hoped only for the annihi
lation which death, I believed, would afford
me. But your pious assurance of another 1
and better world almost persuades me to
believe in its existence."
With earnest and pensive eloquence did
this faithful disciple of religion endeavor
to infuse into me a conviction of the truth
of the sublime pririciples of the gospel.—
The elevation of mind and feeling display
ed by my companion won upon my res
pect, and induced me to ponder long and
seriously upon the .subject of our dis
course, hours eller it was ended.
That night I slept more calmly than I
had for months—hopes, that I would not
yet recognize, sprung up in my heart—
there might yet be peace for the disappoint
ed, world-wearied man.
The next day, when my fever had aba
ted, I sought to renew my conversation
with the sister, and felt more the soothing
influence of her pure and holy sentiments
and feelings.
Anxious to trace to its source the origin
of her deep-rooted piety, I requested earn
ly the history of her life. She started,
manifested considerable emotion, but soon
recovering, bowed her .assent, and thus
began :
“Presuming that no,' idle curiosity dic
tates your rrquest, I will make an effort to
review the past.”
"I was the only child ofSpanish parents
of rank and influence—therefore,was much
nursed in pride and vanity from my era
dle. My early youth was as happy as un
restrained indulgence could make it, for my
parents vied with each other in !minoring
the caprices of their darling.
"When I had reached theage of sixteen,
I was betrothed, with th© consent of my
family, to Don Felix, a young cavalier, to
whom L was passionately attached, who
seemed to worship me with all the disin
terested fervor which my exacting heart
required.
"A year after my betrothment, myifath
er, who had placed the principal part of his
funds at the command of a mercantile
house in one of the provinces, was astoun
ed with the intelligence of its failure.—
Rendered almost destitute by this calami
ty, my fitther was compelled to make some
exertion for the respectable maintenance
of his family. This his pride not allowing
him to do in his native city, ho abandon
ed our beautiful home in Madrid to strang
ers, and embarked for America ; and ar
riving at New York, my father had no dif
ficulty in establishing himself as a com
mission agent.
"But the hopes which cheered him on
to make exertions for our domestic com
fort were suddenly and foreVer blighted by
tho death °f-ray beloved mother. Icannot
even now revert to that bi ter bereavement
without experiencing anew some portion
of the anguish which then crushed my
young heart with its unbearable weight.
"Far from being, as I ought to have been,
the support and solace of my father, I ag
gravated his woes by the wild indulgence
of my own ; and at Length fell into a tor
pid state, from which nothing could arouse
me.
"The mention of my lover's name fell
unheeded upon my ear, for my heart was
in the grave of my mother.
"In theimidst of this distress my father
received a letter, acquainting him of the
marriage of my faithless swain to a lady of
fortune, with whom we were intimately ac
quainted.
"The physician,, who had resorted to
every means to wake my mind from its
deathly stupor, advised_my father to try
the effect of this intelligence. The conse
quence of this compliance was such as to
disappoint the hopes of the physician. It
excited my mind to a complete phrenzy;
convulsion succeeded convulsion—aud I
sank' into a state of exhaustion so nearly
approaching death that my friends hover
ed around my couch all night, awaiting
my last breath; but that very exhaustion
favored the reaction of my nature, for the
power to think would have deprived the of
reason.
"On tho evening of the third day, I
opened my eyes . for the first time, and be
held my noble father sitting alone by •my
bed side, wiping the moisture of agony from
his brow, while his upturned gaze seemed
to invoke the mercy of Heaven.
"A gush of emotion filled my heart at
the sight, and 1-stielc,hed out my arms'and
drew him to my embrace.
"Dear,. honored father! henceforward
we will be all the world to each other."
"From that time all selfish feelings gave
way to tho anxioussolicitude I felt to make
existence, tolerable to my beloved parent.
"Fervently pious himself, he endeavored
to reconcile .me to lite ills, of life by indue•
ing a Om reliance upon the mercy and
justice of Providence, and by inciting all
the enthusiasm and poetry of my , minuet()
manifest themselves in devout worship' to
the author of all good—so that when death
deprived me of his ministering, ' he had
taught me fortitude to bear his loss, and
secured me an asylum in'the Sisterhood of
St. Johns, orWhich I }laie been a member
for ten years.
"Judge of the,force and efficacy, of my
religious faith in supporting and strength
ening the soul, when I assure you that
through' its influence I soon recovered
peacciind security of mind, and have lona
been contented and happy; and now loop
forward to a life of prolonged usefulness;
with fervent anticipations of the closing
reward." •
The history of the pious Sister, briefly
detailed with all the pathetic artlessness of
truth and genuine feeling, made strongim
pressiori upon me. The more I reflect up
on the . evero sufferings slid had undergone
and bravely endured, more heartfelt was
my rejoicing at their peaceful ending.
Inwardly I ejaculated a prayer, that the
religious sanctuary she had chosen, might
ever retain tts willing votary.
For the first time in my life, I began to
reflect seriously upon the necessity of cul
tivating the religious fadulties and the
means oven of worldly happiness. I snw
clearly how much the expansion of the
mind and.heart depended upon their exer-.
rise, and felt how utterly impossible it was
td reyivothe light of hope, extinguished by
sorrow and disappointment, if theheart
did not find consolation in the revealings
of that spiritual grece which Christianity
warns all to seek.
As these reflections passed through my
mind, I formed an inward resolve never,
again to be the prey of unmanly regrets
for 'the inevitable ills of life. but would en
deavor to hug each congenial precept of
Christianity to my heart, and act under
their influence. From the pleasures of the
world I reconciled—my resources of de
riving happiness therefrom were all ex
hausted—my imagination could devise no',
charmed scenes of future bliss for hope to
dwell on, and the
only
prospect of the
present served only to keep alive the self
reproaches, which a retrospection of the
past could not fail to cause.
The kindly influence of my pious nurse
operating like a charm upon my mind
seemed for a time to awaken its languid
powers, and to incite a faint glimmering
of hope that I was not utterly lost to all
temporal and eternal good. At all events
I was incited to the resolve to strive and
struggle with myself. Having formed the
resolution of leaving the hospital on the
morrow, I bade an affectionate adieu to
my kind attendant, and deposited in her
hands, for a charitable purpose, a consid
erable portion of my income, making her
a vow that I would devote myself exclus
ively to the study of religion for the next
six months. This vow I have faithfully
kept. And, gentle reader, if.l dared to en
lighten you with regard to my past life,
you would wonder that the seeds of the
gospel, thus sown, ever flourished upon
the debased soil of a world-polluted mind
and heart such as mine were once.
"Nevertheless, be the fact revealed, I
have abjured every infidel notion; and,
having embraced the Protestant creed, I
have no other aim in life, than, as one of
the ministers and supporters of the gospel,
to dicharge fervently and conscientiously
the duties of my avocation.
Nor will I suffer myself to be chained '
so far to the exclusiveness of sect, as to',
withhid thegrateful acknowledgment,that
to the zealous and pure minded Sister of
Charity,'l am indebted for the first favora
ble impressions of religion ever received,;
and now feel that I owe to her charitable'
solicitude all thd happiness that I at pres
ent enjoy.
COOL IMPLY DENCE.—Yeste rd y afternoon
a rather genteel looking young man walk
ed into the bar of the Woodruff House, and
called for whiskey toddy. -He was sarv
ed, and after he had drank the toddy, he
obtained a cigar, and sat by the lire and
leisurely puffed away. Ho then called for
another toddy, and having placed it be
neath his vest, he calmly buttoned his
coat, pulled on his gloves, and turning to
the barkeeper, said,
"I'm ready."
"You aro ready, are you," replied the
barkeeper "Well, sir, your bill is twenty
five cents."
"I was aware of that fact," replied the
Patton, folding his arms and turning his
face towards the door, "and now I'm
ready."
"Ready for what?"
"To be kicked out. Hain't a darned
cent couldn't do rithout liquor—been stav
ed like a gent—ain't ashamed of my pov
erty—take your pay, sir=kick me out."
The barkeeper finding the chap was in
earnest, obliged him with several applica
tions of his boot toe, lustily administered.
The idler bore it in good part, and after
he had been kicked into the street, turned
round, made a polite bow to the barkeeper,
and then apparently in a merry mood,
started down street,—Giteati. paper.
