THE RAG-PICKER'S HEIRESS .

"Ma-a-tclies !".
"There's that eternal match-girl again,"
said good, little, bustling Mrs. Jellison, as she
glanced up from the b7eakfast-table, where
sin; was busily engaged in counting and pol
ishing up her sillier, to the baSement-window,
where a child's nose had flattened itself against
the window-pane on the outside, and a pair of
black, hungry eyes were peering wistfully in
to the room.
"Come in," beckoned Mrs. Jellison, unable
to resist the little purple cheeks and asking
eyes of the child.
••I don't, want any matches," muttered the
little woman to herself, as the child was en
tering the basement door and pattering through
the entry. "I have a cord of them on hand
already. The little persevering wretches will
never let me off without I buy from them.
Well, we'll see. So, iletty, you're hack again
to-day. Do you think I use matches for oven
wood ?"
"Please, m a'am, no."
"Where's your shoes, Iletty, that I gave
you the other day ?"
"Grandmanuny sold them."
"Sold them Why they were not worth

"Fur motley to get our supper. She always

Mrs. Jellison looked down at the little.naked.
bleeding feet, that were sVack with dirt and
cut frith the cold that s e could not have
judged what the original color might have been.
"Well, it's'a sin and a shame for your grand
mother to do so. Sit down and take a cup of
tea, and I will go and see if Miss Julia hasn't
a pair of old shoes that'll tit you."
The little, bustling housekeeper placed be
fore the child--a cup of tea, and sonic buttered
toast and remnants of beef-steak, and left her
to her repast. She soon returned with shoes
and stockings in her hands, and pouring some
warm water in a basin, she earelully applied
castile soap to the little charped feet, and
washing and rinsing and wiping them, she put
on the stockings and shoes.
"There : they tit you as though they were
made for you. Mis.S' Julia has done with them

GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1855.7
-The .matches were sold, and with a light
'heart little Hefty crept np to the room
in„,the fifth story where her grandmother and
she lived,—with her pocket full of pennies and
clad in her nice, warm clothes.
...........
"lloity, toity who have ire here-?;--Some
grand lady with her fine gaiter's and shawl, I
reckon ; off with them, well have a rare sup-
"Oh Granny, yon won't sell these, will
you V' iileaded the child. "it is's() cold out, and
oh ! my feet ache so dreadfully when they touch
the ice and snow. Oh you won't still them,
will you ?"
"Ow with them," replied the remorseless
"granny," the supper is to be bought and
the rent is to be paid. they must be sold."" ;
"0, granny here is ill these pennies, w'en't
they be enough 7 "
“011 with them, I tell, you, what will the
paltry pennies do toward paying the rent ?"
"Mrs. Jellison said . you 'navel sell them,
that if you did she'd complain of you at the
City flail."
." 'complain of me 1' and who is
Mrs. Jellison, pray ?"
The child told as well as she could, and was
rewarded with boxed ears.
"Complain ofnic !—just as though I couldn't
do as l choose with my own !" And, with
the fury of a tigress, the old woman stripped
the child of all but her Miserable rags, and
was off to sell them and "get the supper."
Iletty crept up to the sickly fire in
. the cra
zy old grate, and washed her little slender
finger's with- her tears, until a lean, lank cat,
rlieutomie_ood-consumptive with starvation
and age, came mewing.up to the forlorn little
girl, and nestled close in her arms. This dis
play of brute sympathy made the child forget
her grief. She talked to old Tabitha, and told
her all her woes, and told her of niee Mrs. Jel
lison, and how. she was one day going to be a
great lad x„ Itand then pussy shall have a gold
saucer to drink milk out, of, and a soft, warm
bed dose to the. fire."
"Purr," said the cat.
Six years passed by—six years of freezing
and starving to poor little lletty—but through
it all the little girl of ten had grown into the
modest woman of sixteen, who, thanks to the
kind friendliness of Mrs. Jellison, had learned
to read and sew, and to distinguish between
'right and wrong. It was only odd moments,
here a little and there a little, that Mrs. Jelli
son had in which to prosecute her gond work,
but she made those few moments tell in her
own queer way : for, with all her superstitions
and oddities, the little house-keeper was gen
uine at heart.
lletty's grandmother, from being an indus
trious and indefinigable rag-picker—up early
and late, never losing a chance to turn alrenny,
honestly or otherwise—had become old and
bed-ridden and ten times more querulous and
esacting arid cruel than ever.
grandmother, you are feeling so weak
and poorly, this oyster-broth will strengthen
you. Mrs. Jellison glive it to me for you."
"Oysters !—one so poor as lam eat oysters!
Iland me the rest of that crust of bread over
on the table, and take that bowl of oysters to
Mugg;•s, you will get at. least a sixpence for
them. Are_ you out of your senses, Iletty.
Oysters, indeed !".
"But, grandmother, you don't eat • anything
lately," persisttd Fietty,"and-these oysters—"
"Don't talk to me abdut oysters ; go and
sell them, and bring time the money. Ifo you
wish to bring me to starvation, now that I have
brown old and can't pick rags any more?"
"I. can support you."
“You —you can't support yourself."
ij gave you three dollars and -over last
week."
"And now Son throw it up to me. Arc
yon going to do as I say with that bowl ?" •
"I do not like to . go out so late."
4‘Olt, no ! be hound that is always your
plea after dark. 'Men are rude to you.' are
they ? This is on account of your pretty face.
Some one of 'etri may make you a good offer,
and .give you moody. Ahmr . v, child ! you
couldn't do better, for who can tell what'll be
come of you when I am gone 3"
'.Grandmother !"
'Well !—go, will you ?"
.''To please you, yes :" and Hefty went out
into the entry with the bowl, and depositing
it on the window sill, she came into the' dingy
little room and handed her grandmother a six
.pence she had in her pocket. Leaving the
sotni after - , she saw her grandmother.
through a crack in the door, crawl out of bed
on her hands and knees, and lift up a board
in the floor and deposit the six-pence carefully
in a box. and replacing the board the old Wo
man crawled back into bed again. Thislletty
had seen her grandmother repeatedly do at
various times, so the pia-formanee was no new
one to her.
Some time after, the old woman, whilst
munching her exust, comptkned of feeling cold,
and that the room was dark". liettv saw a
great change had tal<en place in her, and has
tened into one of the neighbor's roams fur help.
Before morning I{etty's. grandmother was a
corpse, and the verdict of the coroner was
-death from starvation.",
iletty felt very lonely and, lost, without any
one in the wide world to claim kindred with.
She sat - down when her grandmother was laid
out, and when the loom wits cleared of people.
and cried long and hitterly. She then wiped
her eyes and thought of what was t o b e d one .
Iler grandmother should nut be buried by
charity whilst there was so much —she did
not know /ow much—money lying concealed
under the plank (if the floor.
Betty put on her little old bonnet and went
over the wa y to boy Burt Lathrop's, whose

"Poor man !" T exclaimed. "Rut why,
then, does he not sit sill! ? Why does he ac
company you everywhere ?"
"It's no use, ma'am, your speaking to my
old woman," said the husband ; "she can't
hear you—she's quite deaf."
I was astonished. Here was compensation !
Could a pair be better matched ? Man and
wife were, indeed. one flesh : for he saw with
her eyes. and she beard with his ears! 'lt was
beautiful to. me ever after to watch the old
man and woman in their inseparableness:
Their sympathy with each other was as swift
as electricity, and wade their deprivation
as naught.
I have often thought of that old man and
woman, and cannot but hope, flint as in life
they were inseparable and indispensable to
each other, so in death they might not be -di
vided, but either be spared the terrible calam
ity of being alone in the world. —L/cambers'

min a certain "Ladies' Moral Reform Soci
ety," existing not many miles from fife banks
of a certain river, members were required to
sign a pledge not to "set up," as it is termed,
or do artything that might be supposed to have
a tendency however remote to immorality;—
One evening, as the President was calling over
the names to know whether any member had
not kept her ohligatjsm, a beautiful and high
ly respectable young:lady burst:into tears, and
on being questioned as to the cause, she said
she had broken the pledge.
"Why, what have you done ?" asked the
President.
"Oh," sobbed . the young lady, "D— kissed
me the other night when he.iVaited on me home
from meeting."
"Oh, well, that is nothing," said the Presi
dent, "this kissing does not .tuake it. that you
have broken the pledge."
"Oh, but that isn't the worst of it," exclaim
ed the couscientiols young lady, kissed him
back again." -

'Along With my brother, who was collecting
matter - for a work he was about to publish. I
visited the interesting town of Ilexham—inter ,
esting at least to kiln, for it wns a fine 'Beld
for historical research, although, for my own
part, I found little to admire besides its ancient
church. The circumstance which. more • than
,
anything else, Obtained the dingy town a last
ing place in my memory, was our taking a
lodging with an extraordinary pair, an old,
man and woman—husband and wife, • who
lived by themselves, withonrchild or servant,
subsisting on the , letting:of 'their pallor and
two bedrooms. They Were tall, thin, and
erect, though.each seventy years of age. When
we knocked at the door for admittance,, they
answered . it together ; if we rang, the bell. the
husband and wife invariably appeared side, by
side : all our requests and demands were re
ceived by both, and executed With. the utmost
nicety and exactness.
The first night, arriving late by the coach
froth Newcastle, and merely requiring a good
fire and our tea, we were puzzled tounder
stand the reason
. of this double attendance;
and Z remember my brother, rather irrever
ently, wondering whether we , were always
to be waited upon by these Siamese - twins."
On ringing the bell, to retire Ibr the night,
both appeared as , usual ; the wife carrying the
bed-room candle-stick, the husband standing
at the door. 1 gave her some directions about
breakfast for the following morning, when the
husband froth the door quickly answered, for
her. ''Depend upon it, she is (lamb," whis
pered my brother. • But this wa n k not the case.
though she rarely made use of the facultyof
speech.
They both attended me into my bedroom
when the old lady, seeing me look with some
surprise towards "her husband, said : •"rheie's
