The girl's few miserable clothes were soon packed within one narrow box, a letter' written to Ihe guard of the coich which was to convey her Irom London into the western provinces, to say thai her relation would pay at Ihe end of the journey.

A de mure looking servant appeared, who, taking into her mistress the introducto ry letter which the elder Pathlow had indited, being as he had said, the fishinu I hooji whereby lo catch the fih, left the Lincoln girl to a full hour's doubt as to whclher she would have lo retrace her way to Lincoln, or be leceived as Iht poor dependent. It seemed that hei unexpected arrival had created much diicussion; for loud voices were heard in the neighboring parlor. The dispute, rising into a slqrm, was only stayed by llndgel's being ofiiercu into ilie pres ence of the bereaved widow, who.being of a subrlanlial form, sat in a capacious , with a plentiful supply of lawn before her weeping face. She was sur rounded by several relatives, each of whom had children lo recommend; but wishing lo exhibit her power, and tri umph over their greedy expectations she rose, and throwing herself upon the isionished girl's Ojck. made visible elec tion o'f a dependent. Foiled in their purposes the relations disappeared. Thr widow, like a child pleased wilh u toy, made for a wliile mueh of Ihe poor .Lin coln girl; old dreusra were remodelled, old bonnets cunningly trimmed, bygone fnshions desennled on, lill,4to croWfJrl?r vvhole,ihe girl wished, back .the Xin,col,n rags, rather than walk tne streets,1,o. be azed al by every passer-by. fa (his matter there was no appeal; there .never is against dogged self opinion or selfish cunning. Pleased with having one on whom to wreck a world of spile, the widow soon changed her first show of kindness to taunts, reproaches propor tionate lo the loneliness and dependence oi the child, Months went hy wiihnu' one solitsry gleam of happiness, for books or learning were forbidden ;idded to all Ihis, loo, were perpetual secret letters from her home, urging her io send money, but there was no ineai) tie- in Bridget, she could endure, but no crave unworthily. Tliips had gone, pn thus for a twelve monli, when one win ters day the widow came back after a vyeek's absence a gay bride, and thai same night Bridget was tent back on her way to Lincoln, wilh five shillings in her pocket over and above ho coach hiro. Bridget had a fellow passenger, who, having travelled far and being young, and troubled with a child, was much ' pleased wilh Ihe thousand litile kind nci-ses lht Ihe girl peifurmcd, so that before the journey lo London Was ended I vast friendship, ,Was established be tween them. They paited wilh much regret; for, lo one like Bridget, so lone ly, so destitute of friends, (he more scm bianco of kindness was a treasure in itself. She had sat some, lime in tho office walling or' Iho Lincoln cfch not without comfort, for the bodkkeeji eYttad stirred up the office fire, snd.s ,, peciing- m?r scanry purie, liml apppl cfl, her wilh a glass of warm nle and -a -toast when a pale Lut respectable looking " man entered, saying thai he was tl o husband of Bridget's fellow passenger. snd come to offer her the comfort of his home for a day or so, as a return for her Kindness to his wife and child. After some little deliberation Bridget accepted the offer, for she dieuded lb ibiurn homo without having written lo say that she was coming; so an hour aftei wards Bridgdsal wilh Ihe baby on her knee by the si Ie of her fellow-passen- gr, in a comfor'able second floor room in a slreel leading from Long A- cre. Never wis there such a lea pre ped as on this memorable nighl, never tuch a hearth, never such a baby, nevor nich a happy young wife, never kush wandering Bridget, for here seemed tiio visible presence of all riches her heait tiad ever craved, here, in this working chamber of a Long Acre herald painter. Here, loo, without wealth was the pow er ol mind made visible; here, in this chamber of the srtuan. A few chean books nicely arraigned, a iaw piints, rich pannelled esculchtons.and cunning tracery, that brought to mind old things m Lincoln minsier, covered the walls. These thingj stood out like Ihe broad written words of hope and perseve rance. Bridget had never been bo happy. priincu, nuiaii llllVdIS, 11 UUIU IIU IUY1- Ution io return; and when il said that Tom had left Lincoln, Bridget had no desire lo do so. Tho stay of a few days was lengthoned into one of months; fur when her good friehds knew her history all oi it, saving her love of art they could but pity, when pity ripening into estimation as her character became more known, turned friendship into love. We draw no romantic character,but one of real truth. Bridget was the busiest ind cheet fulles:; up early, so that tha hearth was clean, ihe breakfast ready, ihe baby neatly dressed; and this not lone for once, but always,so that Bridg et became a necessary part of the house hold at Long Acre. By and by, when she was found to possess an antituO fof draw ing, Trie arlimn ael busily to vfork, and by ihe evening fire paiu obck, in teaching, her honest service. An upturned cup, a book, a jug, were drawn; and when these wero perfect, things of greater difficulty were sketched. Her progress wat but slow, yet so perfect, thai in a few months' time she was a real help to her minster;aud when ho fell into bad health, and had to " work at home, she assisted to bring bread to Mint poor household.
