"I have just returned from the funeral of poor Em nut a little girl to whom I bad been for years most tenderly attached. As there was some thing very touching lathe circumetancesconnected with her death, I will relate them to von. She was the daugitieteaf a widow, a near neir of mine. When I fi rst.ltbeer her, Arenas et ttply child of four years of We—perfect in And fie- tore. The bloom of health was upon her cheek,,ber eye was the brightest I ever saw--and in her bonen there glowed a generous affection that seemed to em brace all with whom she came in contact. Bat on reaching hereeventli ; year, her health began to decline. The rose suddenly paled on her cheek, and her 'eee had acquired prematurely, that sad, thoughtful expres sion. winch gives so trielincholy a charm to the'fese tures of wasting beauty. Her mother looked on with an anxious heart, and at an utter loss to account for so sudden a change in her health. But soon a new source of anxiety appeared. While dressing her one day, she observed en Einma's back, just betereat the shoulders, a small swelling, of about thesis, of a wet- . nut. As she watched this spot, and cbserredlaine it pew larger from day to day t h e mother began to have sad misgtvings. These, however, fors time, she kept to herself. Soon after wards a slight stoop in her gait became visible. The family physician was now called in, and the worst forebodings of the mother weritcon. lirrned. Her idolized child was fast becoming a hunchback. I will not attempt to describe; the feelings of,sh e mother, who was thus doomed to witness from loped day, the slow and increasing growth of that, which was to make one so deur to her, a cripple rind is dwarf. Suffice it to say, her love as Rolf as care name ed to be redoubled, and Emma become more than ever the child of her affections. Nor did her little corn minions neglect her. when she could no longer join iu their out door sports, and her own-sprightly step had given place to a slow, stopping. gait, and the tweet ringing voice to u sad or querulous tone, that some times made the very heart ache. On the contrary, all vied with each other in administering to her taasie: meets. Among them, nurse clung to heravith. more assiduity than her brother William--who was the nearest of her own age. He gave up , all hie own out doer play, in order to be with her, and seethed never so happy as when he could draw a smile, sad though it was, from her thoughtful features. But after a while Emma grew wayward under her af... fliction; and unfortunately, though generally good na tured, William had a quick temper, to chick which,re qtemd more self-command than commonly falls to one so young. Sometimes, therefore, when he filen! plan after plan, that. he had projected for amusement, re-1 , jetted with peevish contempt, be could hardly conceal from her his own wounded feelings. Yet, though at times ungrateful, Emtra was perhaps not so in -fact: ' and she loved her brother better than any one - elect , save her mother. It was..only in moments when her, too sensitive nature had been chafed perhaps by her, own reflections—for like the majority of children in her circumstances, she was thoughtful beyond her yearn '° —that her conduct seemed unkind. And then, whew; shemarked the clouded expression of her br other's face, she would ask forgiveness iu su mceit a and kiss his cheek 60 affectionately, that he forgave her almost as soon as offended. Yeats thus passed on, when one day, utter she had been more than usually perverse and iretful;William. ; who hail been reading to her, on receiving some slight rebuff, started suddenly from his seat hi her side, and called her A LITTLE HENCI/41ACR, and left the room. 1n a mirownt, however, his, passion subaided,...t nod returning he found his sister to tears. He at tempted put his arm round her neck, but she se pulsed him, and slipping away, retired to her own i chamber. Her mother soon after learned what hind happened, and going to Emma, found her upon the bed in a purosyilli of grief. She endeavored to soothes her feelings, but in vain—Emma refused to be com forted. I want to Inc, mother, she replied to all her en: dearments—• l have long felt that 1 was a burden It , you all.'
