"Oh no, she much better this miming," replied Fanny, ashamed of her emotion, and quickly regaininf bur composure, "it was nut that—but—l—' "You have over-worked yourself," interposed Gertrude, "and the long walk in the heat, this sultry day, has been too much for you." She fetched her a glass if wine and a biscuit; sod then, in lei' own quiet sod insinuating manner, which few persons could resist, she spoke to her about her sister, and drew from her a brief but touching history of herself and family. Like many who ply the busy needle, Fanny Palmer had moved in a better sphere than her present one. Her father had been a respectable tradesman—had died in debt. There was nothing left 'or hie family, and they strug gled ea as they best could; sometimes tolerably well at other times half starved. Md . Palmer took in plain needle-work, but her sig t was bad, her strength was failing, and she earned but a scanty pittance. Her younger daughter, a siekly, deformed girl, seemed to be in a de cline; and Fanny, through cheers and remov als, bad lost several of her old customers, with out gaining new ones is their stead.

But I have almost forgotten the new dress, and so had Gerteude, I believe; site was so much interested in its maker. It was tried on, how ever, and eyed admirably, and it was once paid for. Gertrude, when a little girl, committed to memory this text:—"Withhold not good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the • pow er of thine band to do it;" mud she always acted upon the principle which it oontaind, in her lit tle business &lairs. If everybody did the same, a great deal of the inconvenience and nahappi near which exists in our world would be prevent ed. Fanny Palmer left' the house with a lighter heart than she had entered it with, and Gertrude returned to her fnend Louisa, whose patience, though her long absence, was quite exhausted "My dear Gertrude, what have you been %bunt all thie tinter —"Talking to Miss Palmer," replied Gertrude, pith a grade "Sot about you: dress, I'm sure."

And what did this delightful and beneficial change coat Ger trude? Only one act of self-denial!
