As Gertrod• entered the room, the youh.:
dressmaker rose I am sorry, Miss," she said,
in a timid, respectful tone, "that 1 could not gt
your dress finish. ki last eveniug, as I promised,
bat I was sadly hindered yest,‘iday. My sister
was very has been ill for some weeks_
we thought V. as thing, altd I was ohlig-d to
go once or twice to the dJctor's; but I hope I
shall not disappoint you again"
Her voice slightly trembled as she mentioned
her sister, but few would have noticed it, for she
spoke in as calm straightforward a 0181111 t r as if
she were referring to some trieal matter; and
stranger might (-ill her cohl and unfeeling She
was neither cold nor unf..•,ing; but she had
learnt to assume this indifference in the presence
of others . ; for she found that her troubles were
very lightly estimated, in general, by the ladies
for whom she vrorked, or rather, were only re
garded so far as they happened to effect their in
terests Whether her work was hindered by
the loss of a relative, or by a cut if her ,two
Boger, mattered very little to them• ' it was the
hindrance only at which they looked.
'Gertrude Arnold, however, as you will already
have inferred, did not nelong to this class of Lui•
ployers. The pale features, heavy eyes, and
languid air of the young dressmaker did not
ea-apc her observation, she felt sure that she
was over-fatigued; and she conjectured rightly,
that she bad been up must of the' night to get
the dress completed. Her kind heart was touch
ed, and she said, "I am afraid, Miss Palmer,
you have found great diffi .ulty in finishing my
dress by this morning; you should have sent me
word that your sister was so 111, and I would
willingly have waited another day. You look

Poor Fanny. This unexpected gentleness
and consideration quite overcame her self-con
trol, and she could not retrain her tears.
"Is your histcr so very ill yet?" said Gertrude,
kindly.
"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.

dear reader, perhaps, term romantic, however, if
Gertrude was romantic enough to think of them,
she was Judicious enough to keep them to hei
self, until she aseertidsod that they were *aped
eat and prsotioable.
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

"Sot about you: dress, I'm sure."
"Oh, no: not about my grand dress," maid
Gertrude, merrily, "that did nut require many

ter than any of my others But I have been
making Miss Palmer all about her..past and pre
