The old Spanish proverb, "Poverty wake a

Dorothy IGritnehawe was the widow of a flab
ertnan, whose boat foundered in the dreadful
storm of the 10th of October, lis24. Like many
others, who sailed from the little port high in
health and hope, expecting to reap a fine harvest
from the shoals of herrings that atipuitili visit
that coast, Daniel Urimshawe fell a prey to the
spoiler, Death, that stare fisher of men.
The following morning, after the subeidenes of
the gale, the beach for ado mis strewn with
pieces of wreck, and the bodies of forty drowsed
men were east ashore. Most of them proved to
natives of the town, and the bodies were carried
to the Coml./mil, and notice was sent to the viva
of the absent fishermen to ems end claim their
dead.
This awful mamma rick!, collected a crowd
to the spot. Many SIMMSIa Sad children
were there, and Dorothy Grioudiacre and her lit
tle ones came with the rest.
"Thank the good God! my man is not there,"
said a poor woman, coming mat with her apron to
her face. "The ord save ur—'tis a fearsome
sight."
"He may be food for the crabs at the bottom
of the sea," said a hoarse yoke from the crowd.
"You are not going to flatter yourself, Nancy,
that you are better off than the rest."
"Oh, oh, oh!" shrieked the poor woman, thus
deprived by envy of the staehor of hope to white
she clung. "I trusted in the mercy of God, I
could not look to the bottom of the salt deep."
"Trust to Him yet, Nancy, and all will be
well," said an old, weather-beaten tar. "It is:
He who rules the win& and waves, snd brings
the storm-tossed ship into a safe harbor."
"But what has He done *e these poor men?
Were they worse than the roar sobbed Nancy.
"It is not fot us to bring to light what He has
left in darkness," said the old sailor. "He took
the three fine lads of mine in one night, and lett
me childless But it is not for the like o' me to
murmur against Him. I always trusted to His
providence, and I found that it gave me strength
in the hour of danger."
"Dorothy," be cried, taming to Mn. Grim.
shawe, "it is your turn to go in. no ass
crying and hanging busk. Mayhap Dan has es
cape(' the storm, an' is spreading a white sheet
to the fine, fresh breeze this morning."
"My heart feels as cold as a stone," sobbed
Dorothy; "I dare not go forward; I feel — l know
that he is there "
"Shall I go for you ? I have known Dan
from a boy."
"Oh, no, no; I must see with my Own eyes,"
said Dorothy; "nothing else will co nvince me
that he is either saved or lost;" and she hurried
into the halt.
Trembling with apprehension, the poor wa
man entered the melsaAholy place of death.
The bodies were arranged inrows along the door,
and covered decently with coarse, clean sheets.
The mournful and mysterious silence which al
ways broods above the dead, was broken by sighs
and sobs—wives, mothers, sisters, and little chil
dren were collected in heartrending groups
armintl some uncovered and dearly-loved face,
whose gla4sy eyes, staring anti motionless, were
sl ike unconscious of their presence and their tears.
Grimahawe recoiled with a sudden beck
ward step—" Who if Dan is here?" She press
ed her hands tightly upon he breast—the stifled
cry of agony and fear that burst from her lips,
nearly choked her, she clutched at the bare walla
for support, and panted and gasped for breath.
A little hump-backed child, after casting upon
her mother a look of unutterable pity, slowly ad
vanced to the first shrouded figure, and, kneelin
down, reverentially lifted the sheet, and
long and sadly upon the object penesth. " sab
er:" murmured the child; no other word escaped
her quivering lips. She meekly laid her head
upon the dead seaman's breast, and kissed his
(-Old lips and brow with devoted affection. Then,
rleing from her knees, the went to her pale,
weeping, distressed mother, and, taking her gent
ly by the hand, led her up to the object of her
search
The woad, and waves are sad disfignrers; but
Mrs Gritushawe instantly. recognised, in the
,I, s t,, r te,l features, so marred in their conflict
is th tilt, olomonts, the husband of her youth,
he father of her orphan children; and with a
hap' shrivic, she fell upon the bosom of the dead
Rough, pitiful hands lifted her up, and unclasp
ed the rigid fingers that tightened. about his
flask, and bore the widow tenderly back to her
deroointe home.
We, k went by, ana the fisherman slept in his
peaceful grave. Hi. tittle children had ceased
t. , ••pacid a,lc for their father, before Dorothy
Grinashawe awoke to a consciewsuess of her ter
rible loss and altered fortunes. Shortly after
her restoration to reason, a further trial awaited
her: she became the victim of palsy, in the me
ridian of life she found her physical strength
pro.trate. and her body a useless, broken ma
chine, no longer responsive to the guidance, or
obedient to the will of itsr. An active
mind, 'shut up in a dead C sl y ll'") --an imprisoned
bird, vainly beating itself against the walls of
its cage. Human nature could scarcely furnish
a more melancholy spectacle; .speech, sight and
hearing, were still hers, but the means of loco
motion were lost to her for ever.
The full exkitof her calamity didpot strike
her at Ent. x whispered that the loss of
the use of her lower limbs was only tempo rary,
brought on by the anguish of her min d--that
time and the doctor's medicines would restore
her to health and usefulness.
Ala., poor Dorothy! licorlong did you cling
to these vaiu hopes' Row reluctantly did you
at last admit that your case was hopeles—that
death could. alone release you from a state of
helpless suffering! Then came terrible thoughts
of the workhouse for yourself and your ohildren;
and the drop was ever upon your cheek—the
sigh, rising Constantly to your lips. Be patient,
poor, afflicted one: God has smitten, but not for
saken you. Pity still lives in the human heart,
and help is nearer than you think.
In her early hie Dorothy had lived for seve
ral years nursery-maid in a clergyman's family.
One of the children, entrusted to her care, bad
loved her very sincerely; he was now a wealthy
merchant in the town. When Mr. Rollins heard
of her distress, be hastened to comfort and con
sole her. He gave her put of the red-brick cot
tage, rent free, for the rest of her life; sent her
two youngest daugeters to school, and settled a
small annuity upon her, which, though inade
quate to the wants of one so perfectly dependent,
greatly ameliorated the woes of barcondition.--
Dorothy had resided severalyears in the cottage,
before the Masons came to live under the same
roof, They soon showed what manner of people
they were, and annoyed the poor widow with
their rude and riotous mode of life. Bat eon
plainta were useless. Mr. Rollins was usual
ling with his bride on the continent; and his
steward, who had - accepted the Masons for ten
ants, laughed at Dorothy's objections to their
character sad occupation, bluntly telling her
"that beggars could not be ettoosem----titat she
had a comfortable, warm roof ever her head,
without having to work bard for it like her
neighbors." She acknowledged the truth of the
r e mark, and endeavored to submit to her fate
with patience and resignation.

ance to what was pealing in her' mind, and that
never smiled, yet held such a treasure of pearls
within. Nature had so completely separated her
from her bind, that mirth would have appeared
out of place. Bbe was plainla„ form and As
taire, but the beauty of the soul enshrined in that
humble, mishapen tenement, abed over her per
sonal deformities a iritual and holy light.
Prom the time of her lather's death, Mary had
worked steadily at her needle to support herself
and the rest of the family. The constant assid
uity with which she plied her task, greatly in
creased the projection of her shoulder, and
brought on an occasional spitting of blood, which
resulted from a low, hacking cough. The per
ish doctor, who attended her bed-ridden mother,
and who felt interested in her good, dutiful child,
assured her that she must give up her setentsry
employment, or death would quickly taleminate
her labor.
"Bat how, then," asked Mary, "can I (=tri
bute to the support of the family? My mother's
helpless condition requires my constant exertions,
1f I cease to work, she must starve,"
The good doctor suggestedrespectable service
as s i more remunerative and healthier occupation.
"Mu!" said Mary, "to go into service is im
possible. Who will hire a domestic who is in
delicate health, is deformed, and to strangers
unintelligible?' 'You, air, have known me from
a child. You understand my broken words
You never harry me, so that I can makeyou
comprehend the meaning of my jargon. But
who else would have the patience to listen to my
uncouth sounds?"
The doctor sighed, and said that she was
right, that going out would only expose her to
constant mortification and redicile; and be felt
very sorry that his own means were so limited,
and his family so large, that he (maid only afford
to keep one servant, and that an active, stirring,
healthy woman, able to execute, without much
bodily fatigue, her multitudinous daily tasks.—
He left the cottage with regret; and M al y, for
the first time, felt the bitter curse of hopeless
poverty, and a sense of her own weakness and
helplessness fell heavily ou ber.soul.
Itr-this emergency, Mrs. Mason offered her a
trilling weekly stipend, to attend daring the day
upon the customers, and to assist her in washing
glass and crockery and keeping the house in or
der. She knew her to be honest and faithful,
and she was too homely to awaken any interest
in the heart of her worthless, dissipated son .
Mary hesitated a low, time before she Accept

mother's leavening infirmities, and the severe
illness of her youngest sister Charlotte, left her
no choke Day after day you might see the pa
tient hunchback performing the menial drudg
eries of the little inn, sdent and self-possessed—
an image of patient endurance, in a house of vi
olence and crime. It was to her care that the
house owed its appearance 3.4" inuatneab and out
ward respectability. It wsts 'her active, indus
trious spirit that arranged and ordered its well
kept household stuff, that made the walls so
cheery, the grate no gay with flowers, that kept
the glittering artay of pewter so bright. It was
her taste that had arranged the branches of the
wild rose to twine so gracefully over the rustic
porch that shaded her sick mother's dwelling,
who, forbidden by the nature of her disease to
walk abroad, might yet see from her pillow the
fragrant boughs of the brier bud and blossom,
while she inhaled their fragrance in every breeze
that stirred the white cotton curtains that shaded
her narrow casement.
Mary's native sense of propriety was constant
ly shocked by unseemly sights and sounds; but
their Impurity served to render vice more repul
sive, and to strengthen that purity of heart from
which she derived all her enjoyment. Night
always released her from her laborious duties,
and brought her back to be a ministering angel
st the sick bed of her mother and sister.
These sisters I must now introduce to my
readers, for with one of them my tale has mostly
to do. Unlike Mary, they were both pretty,
delicate-looking, girls, ready of speech, and re
markably pleasing in person and manners.
Mr. Rollins had paid for the instruction of
these girls at the village school, in which they
had been taught all sorts of plain work; had
mastered all the difficulties of Mayor's Spelling
book, had read the Bible, the Dairyman's Daugh
ter, Pilgrim's Progress, and Goldsmith's abridg
ed History of England, and all the books in the
shape of penny tracts and sixpenny novels they
could borrow from their playmates when school
was over.
Sophy, the alder of the two, who've& eighteen
years of age, had been apprenticed for the last
two years with a milliner of an inferior grade in
the little seaport town ; and her term of service
having expiild, she had eoeamenoed making

her own beauty and consequence, and even her
ideas far above her humble station, quite unfit

others. Besides being vain of a very lovely
face, she was very fend of dress. A clever hand
at her business, she matfived to give a finish and

Contented in the midst of poverty, happy in the
eonstioassess of moral improvement, patient un

most painful eircuustanoes, a rare example of

While readnig the Gospel at school, as a por

Wise Dispenser of that blessed revelation to num,
to open her eyes to the importance of those noble
truths that were destined to set her free from the
bondage of in and death. She read, and be

skies, like the man who found - the pearl of great

in order to moire such an inestimable treasure .
The sorrows and trials of her lowly lot were to

ed the fatal disease which wasted her feeble
frame,
rind which had now confined her to the
same bed with her mother, as the mean employ
ed by God to release her from the sufferings of
earth, and open for her the gates of heaven.—
How earnestly, yet bow tenderly, she tried to
inspire her aMoited mother with the same hopes
that animated her breast ! She read to her, she
prayed with her, and codes voted to explain in
the best way she could that mysterious change
which bad been wrought in her own soul, and
which now, on the near approach of death, filled
her mind with inexpressible joy.
This reading of the Scriptures was a great
consolation to the poor widow ; and one day she
remarked, in a tone of deep regret and with many
tears—
"Who will read the Bible to tne, Charlotte,
when you are gone ? Mary cannot read, and if
she could, who could tiuderstand what she read,
and Sophy hates everything that is serious, and
i 4 too selfish to trouble herself to rcad aloud 1.,
me."
"Mother, I have thouglit much about that of
late," laid the sick girl, raising herself on the
pill .w into a sitting posture, and speakitig with
great earnestness. "The doctor said y"stcrday
that I might survive for 'ix or seven weeks
longer--perhaps,' he added, 'until the latter end
of Autumn. During that time, could I dot
teach you to read !"

"Well, I will try to please you. /11 dear

thrilled to its inmost core by the affe,tiou.ito
solicitude which that glance of angelic le•twvo
lame conveyed to her heart ;"but you will tied
ate so stupid that you trill soon give it up as a
bad lob."
"With God all things are possible," said
Charlotte, reverentially. "With His . blessing,
mother, we will begin to-morrow."-
It was a strange but beautiful sight* to see
that dying girl -lying in the same bed instructing
her helpless mother—a sight which drew tears
from sterner eyes than mine. And virtue
triumphed over obstacles which at first appeared
insurmountable. Before death suntmoued the
geed daughter to a better world, she had the
inexpressible joy of hearing her mother read
distinctly to her Christ's Sermon on the Mount.
As the old woman concluded her delightfultask,
the grateful Charlotte exclaimed gently, in a sort
of ecstasy—" Now, Lord, let thy servant depart
in peace." Her prayer was granted ; and a few
minutes after, this good and faithful disciple
entered into the joy of her Lord.
This event, though long expected by Dorothy
Grimshawe, was felt with keen anguish. The
tuneful voice was silent that day and night
which for many weeks had spoken peace to her
soul. The warm young heart was still, that had
so ardently hoped and prayed for her salvation,
that had solved her doubts and strengthened her
wavering faith ; and to whom now could she
turn for comfort and consolation ? To Mary,
whispered the voice in her soul ; but Mary was
absent during tie greater part of the day, and
frothy was too busy with her own affairs to pay
mush attention to her heartbroken went.
But deep as was the mother's grief for the loss
of her dutiful child, the sorrow of the poor
hunchback for her beloved sister, who had bees
the idolised pet of her joyless childhood, was
greater still. Worn down with an incurable dis
ease, Mrs. Grimahawe looked forward to a speedy
reunion with the departed; 'but years 'of toil and
suffering might yet be reserved for the patient
creature; who never was heard to murmur over
her painful lot.
The death of the young Charlotte, the peace
maker, the comforter and monitor to the rest of
the household, was as if her good angel bad de
and the sunshine of heaven had been

"Oh, my slater!" she murmured, in the depths

Mrs. Mason molded and grumbled that, for
weeks after Charlotte's death, Mary Grimsbawe
performed her daily tasks with less alacrity, and
wandered to and fro like one in a dream. Some
times the pent-up !Aguish of her heart found a
vent in sad and unmteBigible sounds—"A gib

His oosrse comrades received his disrespectful
insubordination to his mother's authority ma an
excellent joke, while Mary ixily shuddered at his
indelicate *wowed of his liking for her sister,
which tilled her mind with _a thousand indefinite
fears.
Sophy, of late, had been able to obtain but• lit:
tie work in the neighborhood; she was silent and
dejected, and murmured constantly against her
poverty, and the want of every comfort that could
render life -tolerable. Sometimes she talked of
going into service, but against this project, so
new from her mou th , her mother objected, as she
had no one else during the day to wait upon her,
or speak to her. More generally, however, she
speculated upon some wealthy tradesoutai making
her his wife, and placing her at ones above want
and work.
" I care not," she would aty, "how ugly he
might be, if he would only take me out of this,
and make a lady of me."
Mary shook her head, and tried, in hoarse ejac
ulations, to expretie, her disapprobation of such
an immoral awowal of sentiments she could but
regard with horror; while she fixed upon her sis
ter those piercing eyes which seemed to look
into her very soul—those eyes which, gleaming,
throug litutialling tears,made the vain girt shiv

"6opby," said Mrs. Grinskawe, gravely—foi
the remark was made one evening, by her mo
ther's bed-side—" Mary cannot speak her thoughts
but I understand her perfectly, and can speak
them for her, and would seriously ask you, if
you think it *crime to sell your soul for money."
"Certainly . not; I would do anything to get
rid of the weary life I lead. All day chained
down to my needle, and all night kept awake by
the moans of the sick. At eighteen years of age
is it not enough to drive me mad?"
"It is what the Lord has been pleased to ap
point--a heavy burden, doubtless, but meant for
your good. Look at Mary; her lot is harder than
yours, yet she never repines."
Sophy flashed a scornful look at ber sister, as
she replied—
"Mary is not exposed to the same temptations.

This speech was made tinder the influence of
vehement passion, and was concluded with a vi

Her cruel words inflicted a deep wound in the
heart of the poor deformed girl. For the first

she approached nearer to her weeping sister.
"Mary," she faltered, in a tone of deep self
reproach, "I did not Mall to vex you. I know
that you are better than me, and you tattrevaot
take so to heart my wild words; I am miserable
and unhappy; I do not always know what I say."
The eyes of the sisters met; Sophy flung her
arms about Mary's neck and kissed her
"You forgive me, Mary?"
The hunchback smiled through tears—and
such a smile—so eloquent—so full of love and
grateful affection, that Sophy felt she was more
than forgiven.
"Why are you unhappy Sophy"" asked Mrs.
Grimshswe, seising the favorable moment to
make a more lasting impression on her mind.
