One final pang and I had slept

The friends I lov'd had watch'd and wept,
And I been with the blest.
And now I lived to stand alone
Upon a barren shore,
And see each drear and valued one
Depart, to come no more.
Look at you wither'd plant—no mere
It charms the stranger's eye;
Yet goodly blossoms once it bore,
Though strayed around they lie.
The young and gay pass idly by,
And turn their heads aside;
The parent tree hangs droopingly. •

My fate there road. It is in vain
You bid me cease to mourn;

FASHIONABLE BENEVOLENCE.
BY H. S. PARSON, ESQ.

That binds us to each other; alight the care
There is for grief, in which we have so share
"And she works exquisitely, too, so much
better than that impudent Mrs. Blanchard,
who if you will believe it, Ano, never put
on that double frill, even after my express
directions; and I, nothing doubting but that
the creature had done as I told her, never
perceived the omission until I put on the
dress to wear to a ball."
"But where did you here of this poor
woman, Emma, who works so well and so
cheap? She must be destitute, to do it for
such a trifle."
"Oh yes, she is wretchedly poor, with a
family of children, and her husband dead
or absent. Our girl, Mary, accidentally
found her out, and told me she thought Mrs.
M—, that is the woman's name,
would
be glad to sew for me; so 1 sent for her,and
bargained her down, until she was willing
to do it for almost any thing, rather than
not at all. But all this is entrennus, for
you know I could not withdraw my patron.
age from my former seamstress, to bestow
it on a new one, unless she was cheaper.—
I thought she might sew for you, when she
was not engaged for me. It is something
of an object to save more than half what
we give Mrs. Blanchard."
"1 am delighted to think you have met
with such a prize, lor I am convinced these
fashionable milliners and mantuirmakers
are monstrously expensive, and most of all
the work, this woman can do just as well, I
dare say."
"She works beautifully, although Mary

"Certainly; Mr.Handon is to read us some
extracts from that new novel; and, besides,
the object is so good. 'Angels of mercy,'
you know he called us. But do you know,
Emma, why Jane Gleason has never joined?
She must have been invited."
"No; for I asked her myself, and her re•
ply was, that she would inform me if she
concluded to become a member of the 'Cir.
cle,' and I have never heard a word from
her on the subject."
"She is very peculiar; but, as it is whis

thought she would be among the first to aid

"How handsome she is," whispered Henry
Benton to his friend Harwin; "and so bene
volent too. Did you hear how enthusiasti
cally she spoke of the approaching fair?--
fheard her tell sister Catherine that it would
do so much good. How unusual to hear
young ladies think of such things. I must
become better acquainted with her," and
crossing the room, he began an animated
conversation with Miss Roberts, who failed
not to convince him still more, that she was
truly and uncommonly disinterested.
"I had no idea," said Henry to his sister,
on their return home, "that your 'Circle'
was so pleasant. 1 think I shall accompa
ny you more frequently in future."
"It is sufficiently pleasant," replied Cath
erine, "but I sometimes doubt its utility.—
The work which is accomplished by the
young ladies, I have feared was taken from,
and thus injuring the interests of poor per
sons and the time, exertion, and money thus
spent in ostentation and parade, might be
employed in a more simple and private way
by individuals."
"You are too scrupulous, my dear Cath
erine; surely united effort must accomplish
more than individuals, and sociability, and
friendly feeling are thus promoted, and, as
Miss Roberts told you,others are benefitted."
"I hope it may bo so, but do not think me .
censorious if say that I sometimes think
others might be benefitted still more, if these
young ladies were each of them to visit those
scenes of poverty and distress, and give'
their counsel, sympathy, and assistance.—
Now, it seems pleasant to them to meet to.
gather, when they have no other engage
ments, and talk in general terms of charity,
etc., but how few, it is to be feared, know
what are self denial and perseverance
against obstacles, in order to do good."
"I cannot judge them so harshly. It
seems to me, that ladies like Miss Roberts,
for instance, are more to be admired -for the
sincere benevolence of heart which they
display, than for all the charms of person,
or even of mind."
"1 know nothing of Miss Roberts which
would contradict that appearance of kind
ness,so delightful, so praiseworthy, wherev•
er and whenever seen, of which you speak.
With you, I have often admired the inter
est she manifests in every thing relating to
our circle, and I only hope, my dear broth
er, :hat public and private charity may ac•
company each other. But 1 have been sur
prised not to see Miss Gleason at any of our
meetings, she always seems social and
friendly, and I have expected to meet her
there."
Months passed by,bringing the wished for
fair near at hand, ti.id report said that Hen
ry Benton was becoming daily more and
more pleased with the pretty, interesting,
and benevolent Miss Roberts. No one could
approve of those on dits, or wish that they
might prove true, more ardently than the
lady herself; for Mr. Benton was, as -the
fathers would have styled him, a safe parti,
the mothers a desirable, and the daughters
a perfect one. With wealth, rank, and
talents, joined to accomplished manners and
firm integrity, his society was universally
courted. As yet, however,
.he had never
paid his devoirs at any fair shrine; but, like
most of those whom fashion or interest has
not moulded to do her bidding, he had a
beau ideal in his own mind, of the being
whom he should wish to call his, and that
had never yet been realized. Miss Rob
erts, attractive as she was in person, would
probably have excited in him no peculiar
interest, had not her apparent benevolence
of heart won his attention. One who could
talk thus eloquently of relieving suffering,
must, he thought, be amiable to no common
degree. She cannot be one of those frivol•
ous, heartless beings' absorbed in selfish
gratification, thinking not of the responsi
bility devolving upon them and forgetting
The sacred ties that bind us each to iactit.
It was a cold and dreary night when
Henry Benton and his sister sat by their
cheerful fire, conversing upon the merits of
a book, from which he had just been read.
ing. Every thing around looked bright
and pleasant, and it might well seem almost
impossible for the inmates of that dwelling,
to think that any one could be less happy
than themselves. It seems to be the nat
ural effect of extremes of joy or sorrow, to
prevent us from realizing the misery of
others. It is difficult for the heart bound.
ing with joy, to whom all things round bear
la couleur de rose, to imagine the "smaller
miseries or great sufferings" of others, and
one who is himself plunged into the depths
of unhappiness, is to apt to be absorbed
by the consideration of his own calamities.
Our friends were not selfish, but certain it
is, that the misfortunes which "flesh is heir
to," were not present to their minds, when
Catherine was informed that a poor woman
lived near her,who was,or had been very sick.
"You were going out for a short time,
Henry," said she to her brother, "and I
will go with you as far as this woman's
house, where you can call for me as you
return."
"Do not venture out such an evening as
this, Catherine. You can send some one
to impure into the circumstances and give
her aid."
"But I shall feel better satisfied to see
how she does myself—nay, dO not object,
my dear brother," added she, striding; "do
you think the cold can penetrate though all
this fur? I know the exercise will benefit
me. Come, let us go. This is the house,"
said she, as they arrived at the dwelling
where she had been told'the object of her
visit resided. "Now you can come for me
as you return," and she gently opened the
[door of a room where a light faintly Om-
rnered. But she was not, as she afterwards
declared, prepared for the scene that met
her view. In a miserable hut, insufricient
to proledt its inmates from the inclemency
of the weather, was extended the sick wo
man ono low bed, supported by Miss Glea
son, who was administering a cordial.—
The apnrtment, ton, though indicating pov.
erty, bore an air of neatness, and little corn
forts were strewed here and there, as agorae
kind hand had lent its aid.
"And you are here before me, .Tone?"
said Catherine, advancing towards her.
"Yes, I have been here some time. Mrs.
M. has been very sick, but she seems more
comfortable now."
I had never heard of her until to-day,"
answered Catherine, "or I should have
visited her before. I have brought her
home trifles, which I hope may benefit her
till we can do something more."
The sick woman groaned-;-"Oh! if I had
what is justly my due, I need not trouble
others so much. Lady," said she, striving
opeak distinctly, "long, long nights have
"never closed my eyes to sleep, striving to
earn something for myself and my poor chil
dren. She told me unless I did the work
cheap, I could not have it, and 1 did it al
lost for nothing, rather than not do it at
ill; but I have never been paid even that."
' "Who employed you, Mrs. M- 7 -4"
asked Catherine.
"Miss Roberts sent for me, and gave me
her sewing to do, and last night she sent me•
word, that unless I completed some work
which I have had out for a week, she must
withdraw it all from me."
"Do not agitate yourself about it, Mrs.
M—,"said Miss Gleason, gently; "your
wants shall be supplied, until you are able
to exert yourself without injury."
"But; my dear young lady, I cannot but
think of it. I should not have minded it
for myself, for I am sure, unless 1 could
hope to show my gratitude for your kind
ness, and watch over my children, I have
nothing to live for; but to think of thorn"—
Mr. Benton at this instant 'stopped at the
door, but not being perceived, he did not
interrupt her by accosting his sister. "1
finite seen them cry for bread, and I told
Miss Roberts that,destitute as I was, 1 would
sew for any thing that could procure them
bread. Long nights 1 never have elept,but
labored without a moment's rest to procure
them something. And when I asked her for
the money, she said ahe never paid those
little sums, till they amounted to something;
and added, she could not stop either, for
she was gninito some society, or circle, as
she called it, and could not listen. I came
home, but 1 could support it no longer; I
could not even pi out to beg food, and,oh
my children, I must have perished had not
this angel"—ea id she, turning to Miss Glea
son, with tears in her eyes, and then sink •
mg back, exhausted with the effort of speak
ing.
"She shall not be alone for the future, in
her errands of mercy," said Catherine,
hardly able to speak. "Rejoice,"added she,
turning, as she perceived her brother, "that
I came here, Henry, for I have learnt u
lesson not soon to be forgotten."
The character and life of Jane Gleason
was indeed worthy of being remembered
and imitated. With a gffled and cultivated
mind, she had a feeling heart and firm
principles. Although every way fitted,
if she had been so inclined, to become "the
glass of fashion and the mould of form,"
she chose rather to improve the talents
committed to her charge,to higher and noble
purposes. In her charity she was constant
and kind, and scrupulously followed His
example who "went about doing good," and
although her name might never have been
seen in the public prints as a graceful pre.
eider over a fair, it was graven in the hearts
of many a widow and orphan whom she
gladdened by her kindness. To those who
feel interested in the fate of Mrs.M ---,we
will add, that she did recover, and through
the efforts of her friends, was enabled to
maintain herself and her family comfortably
of course with more generous employers
than Miss Roberts, who still continued her
enthusiasm for public charity, although we
will confess, it has never since excited so
much admiration in Henry Benton. The
scene at the cottage often recurs to his
memory. Since the evening of which we
spoke, he has seen June Gleason the centre
of attraction in the circle of her friends,
exhibiting all thegraces of mind and person,
but never has she looked more lovely in his
eyes, and never has he found her less wor
thy to be the companion of joy and sorrow,
the sharer and heightner of tine, the reliev
er of the other, than when in that poor dwel
ling, dispensing alleviation to the afflicted,
and affording such a striking contrast to
"fashionable benevolence."
Pzintous OCCUPATIONS. —ln Catherine
Sinchir's Shetland and the Shetlanders,"wi3
find the following description of a perilous
mode adopted among the islanders, of ob.
taining a livelihood.
"While sitting at dinner in the cabin,
we heard many interesting anecdotes of the
dangers encountered by 'fowlers in scaling
the rocks of Shetland and Feroe, where
fatal accidents are so frequent, that the
people sometimes say to each other, ..'your
grandfather fell, and you must follow too.'
Others boast over their companions snying,
Your father died in his bed, but mine went
elflike a manl'
"The Governor mentioned, that lately
at Faroe, a fowler descended safely by thy•
usual conveyance of a rope, but when about
to be drawn up again, owing to some awk
ward entanglement, ho arrived at the sur-
face with his feet upward. His alarried
friends thought his head had been cut off'.
and felt so relieved to discover their rnis
take, that the whole party burst into a aim•
ultaneous peal of laughter, while the ',adven
turer was very glad he had any face to put
on the matter at all, nod laughed heartily
also. The upper part of these cliff's genet.•
ally overhangs the base; therefore tlie
rockmen, when desirous to obtain a tooting,
are obliged towing themselves many yards
out in the air, that the reaction may shoot
them back in contact with the precipice,
when they instantly cling to any little pro
jection that offers, and, after landing on it,
anchor the end of their rope to n stone, and
proceed with a small hand, net, stretched
on a hoop, to spoon the eggs out oftheir
nest, depositing them 'carefully in esack
which they carry behind, and when the
unlucky bird saes her loss' inevitable, by a
curious instinct she often pushes outthe egg
to save herself: • An enterprising fowler
standing on the projection, unco, with a
sheer precipice both above and below him
of several hundred feet observed the end of
his rope became suddenly disengaged from
its Moorings, and swing like a pendulum
far into the distant space. If it escaped
entirely, away', he knew that death, either
by a fall or by the elower'and more dread•
ful process of starvation, must be come in•
evitable; therefore, perceiving that the rope,
before it finally settled; woald swing once
'More althost within his grasp, he earnestly
watched the moment of its return, made a
desperate spring forward in the air, clutched
it in his hand and was saved."
SONFRING FOR TIIR GlRLS.—Somebody
has taken the trouble to collect statistics
from the U. Slates, England, !rebind and
Scotland, on which is based a calculation of
the chances of marriage a woman
. has, at
different periods of her life, taking ono
hundred as the whole number of chances
she gets of marrying. The one hundred
chances are distributed as follows:
Between the ages of fifteen and twenty,
14i twenty and twenty-five and thirty, '18;
thirty and thirty-five, 6i; thirty-five and
forty, Si; forty and forty-five, 24; forty-five
and fifty, 1i; fifty and fifty• five, *; fif•ty five
and sixty, f; over sixtyfive, one-tenth of a
chance. •
Young women should atteatively study
this table and regulate their conduct towards
their suitors by ii. Before twenty *they can
be as captious as they please, for their best
chance has not come yet. Before twenty
five they can pick and choose, but after
thirty their chances diminish in a frightful
ratio, and the sooner hey secure a husband
the better.—Ledger.

SINGULAR BEIRUEST.-- - MI. T. ‘Vorsley,
of the Isle of Wight, Eng., who was an NI.
terprising traveller atiout the middle of the
last century, in one of his excursions, in ex
ploring the Interior of Africa, was miracu•
lonely saved from the clutches of a lion
through the instrumentality of a faithful
dog that alwiiys accompanied him in his
expeditions. As the formidable beast was
in the act of springing at him, the dog
seized the lion, and diverted the animal's
attention from his intended victim, which
afforded Mr. Worsley the opportunity of
ascending a tree close by, thereby alluding
the danger to which he was exposed. The
dog fell a victim to his fidelity. Mr. W.
returned to England, and for many years
'celebrated the anniversary of his escape
from the lion, as a -holiday, going about
almsgiving and doing other acts of charity.
By his last will he left the annual sum of
£lO, (nearly $5O) forever, to bo paid to
the vicar of tho parish for the time being,
to preach a sermon in the church of the
village, on 6th May (the unniversary of
his escape,) upon tho subject that gave rise
to the bequest—a custom which has pre
vailed up to the present time.
