The light of the lam which fell partially on her face, revealed led a countenance deeply marked with sorrow and care; but the face was youthful still, and grief had not banish ed-beauty from those features; it had but thrown over a veil which concealed their spakling brilliancy, whileit made thtir loveliness more charming. The • pensiveness and quiet submission re .vealed in the depth of those large his trous black eyes; the calmness and deep thought of that which played around. -that mouth; it was hard for those fea tures thus to loop; - ; _the soul was almost crushed, crushed, - before it would forget its pride but now heaven's seal wasset upon that ,countenance so deeply, that it Could never he obliterated. / .- Alone, no the widbW was not, alone in her apartment. On the humble uch lay a ihild of seven years, sweet ly slumbering, The little girl did not much resemble her Mother in. her fez'- , tures, though to the heart of the parent she was only the more dear for that ; , • for in thatli,weet face, she had ever ,- he ' whom fore her the minature of him site hived so well, lint so unwisely. She' loved her the more fondly for that; for thoneh there had been moments when she had invoked heaven'"; bitterest curses on him who had squandered her wealth at the grog shop and gaming table---and had cruelly neglected, and finally deserted'her and her _babe, she had long ago hurled the reinembra»ce of his erimeq, and thought only of the few itrief years,' when they were happy together. i The widow sat resting her head on her bind and` ga'zing into the dying embers. The night. was cold, the snow lay thick on the earth, and the wind was sweeping about the dwelling. She thought of the hundreds iii the great city who were that night Offering from hunger and cold, and her! heart went I up to heaven in gratitude for the mer cies wit hi which it had fierrlbunded her. It wash rue all the money slieAossessed on earth' was a bit of silver lying on the table beside her ; and that she had prom tu iscil little Annot should purchase her on the morrow, a New Year's gift. But, then her rent for the next quarter was paid, and she had fuel and provis ions to last her for the next fortnight, and the work she had so neatly comple ted would bring her scanty but sure pity. The widow wat.ethankful, for she had known what utter destitution was. The wind moaned more loudly and sadly about her dwelling. "Heaven havetinercy on the poor to ' night, and may not the cry for charity/ Sall upon a deafened ear." I As her lips - murmured the prayer„ there was a heavy foot-fall behind the window, folloWed by a quick rap at ttie door, and as the widow opened it,', tie man wretchedly and thinly attired; and with an old hat drawn over his' eyes, stood before her anti begged for anight's shelter, or something to procore him one. / The former Mrs. Burgess /could not give; the latter—she looked up the narrow alley where she liVed, and the wide street which run /thong at its head. The dwellings of the wealthy were t here. She saw 'the costly /edifices, through whose richly curtained windows the brilliant. light \Sr gleaming,' an d thought how easily the dwellers beneath those rears could/Make the poor creature. comfortable. But she hesitated only a brief instant, anti then stepping back into her apartment, she ,picked up the bit, of silvetylying on the table. Poor little Annot, she had fallen to sleep while talking of the present manta would buy her to-morrow ; she could L ' not remember ever having received one I before, and site had kissed the piece of silvii'r a thousand times during the day, linticipatiOn - Of what it - • would bring her. The widow glanced at the mill On which -the child had, with a share / pointed instrunnit, markedher name in quite legibl characters; ;and she i brushed away atar front her eye'as she thought of the disappointment in store for her. . The hand that was •outstretied to i receive - the pittance sensibly tr ee thief!. "It is the poor widow's mite, l' said - the good Mrs. Burgess ; "do not spend it for what will make on more,wretch ell than you are now."' The lingers closed ver it, and the mail turned away and 'walked walked rapidly down the street, thougl -now and then he checked his speed f ' an instant and 1 . muttered indistinctly to himself. At the end of a few minutes he stood before the door of a miserable ruin shop, and looked through the torn window curtain into the room, where a drunken,l half idiot group was gathered around an cgd rieketty table; very busy with a game of hazard.

THE WIDOW'S MITE It was the last night ofthe year. .The widow Burgess sat alone i►►. her apart ment „(for silo rented but one s ) and that was a small and scantly furnished roou►, thefigh she managed to, make it look quite spacious a►ni eon►fortable by the disposition of its' furniture—gazing into the embers, which, although they were fast expiring, still sent out a genial warmth. The man was sober now, and as he gazed on those faces purple,and bloated, or of a deadly pallor, those wildly, star ing eyes, and listening to the deep oaths and the fiendish laugh uttered by those treaudous voices, ,his better feelings awoke. His uplifted hand fell from the door latch and he averted his eyes from the wretched group, but the face of their comrade was seen through the window, and before ho had quite decided to turn away from the spot, two or three of .the more sober of the company were drag ging him into the shop. The man did not go very reluctantly, but when he entered the room he slunk Into a corner, and sat down by himself. His .cheek, habitually so pale,' was now crimsoned with shame, not because the' eyes of those miserable men were upon him, but Conscience was whisper•- ing in histlar in tones which sent+ his biped like a fiery • torrent through his Not half an hour he sat there, silent, vrithing in perfect agony, while his ompanions Who had forgotten his pres :nee, continued their drinking and -times—those of them who had not fall •n to the floor, overcome by stheir deep otations. At length the man shook oil those thoughts, his appetite had con quered. Ho took from his pocket the bit of sil ver Which the poor widow had given hint. It was an old coin and its in scription was very nearly obliterated, and he drew near the light to ascertain its value. For au instttut his eye gazed upon it with a strange expression, and then it fell to the floor, while an excla mation such as silenced Lhe noisy group in the shop, burst from his lips but be -fore they had time to inquire the cause of the sudden emotion, the man picked tip the piece of silver and rushed out of the shop. In an incredibly short space of Lime, considering the distance he had to walk, the same individual stepped into one of the largest dry goods stores in the city. A half suppressed titter •was heard among the younger clerks as he made his appearance, but the man did not seem to hear it, mid he walked on with a quick firm step till he reached the counting room, where the owners of the estubliohnient were arranging their accounts. Ile paused then, and a look of shame and degradation stole aver his face which nature had made so noble and handsome, as the blue eye of the senior partner was fixed on his coulten auce. " Why are you here again ? I have repeatedly told you that we eannot,einl ploy you There was pity in thel old man's tone, but his voice was firm.— " If you can proMise what we require there is no one ss , e would sooner trusei!" " will promise," said the m' an quiel.ty ; " I will) sign the pledge, 114 1 3 . Compton." The old gentleman drew forth from his desk a paper, on which was a list of names which his own and those of his partners headed : The, name of every man in his employ was there. The man took the paper, and in huge char acters added his name to the list, while Mr. Compton Welted over his shoulder. BAYARD TAYLUIt " George, you will never break that pledge, there is something in your look and manner which assures me of it.— Take this," said he, and drawing from his pocket book a small roll of bills he placed them in the man's hands, "and get you some clothing," and when the man, (who could only grasp with ferver the hand so kindly extended_ toward liiin,) left the room, he added, address ing his.partner,"l will be safety for 'dm, now ! lie is a reclaimed man." -', Half an hoer afterwards the same in dividual-stood at the door of the widow Burgess., ' He approached the-dwelling with it more cautious step than before, but per haps the sound of hiki step reached her,, I for as he 'stood on tik threshold she came to the window, and lifting the c'irfain-looked out into the street. - She did not observe - him ilv - trover, brit ho obtained a glimpse of her faco and fig ure. That tall, delicate form, that white brow, and that raven hair ! it is she ! and as she let fall the curtain, he pushed open the unlocked door and stepped within the„apartment. , The widow was startled ; she raised her head suddenly, for it • was beived over her sleeping child, but she uttered no, shriek. There. was something in that figure that stoodi efore- Fier and Which she receknized ast i he sayEle which had two hours before solleited'her chari ty—that held her silent arid spell-bound. Did her eyes deceive her , or was she dreaming. y The man had taken oft' his hat and brushed the hair from his high broad brow ; and sank on ,his knees before he-r and murmured in broken accents : "Annot, can you forgive me, and will you be mine again'?" The widow —Mrs. Burgess Ni• ari no longer a widow< for it was her husband who was kneeling before her ; the re port of his death which. had reached her years before,,was unfounded—Mrs. Burgess wound her arms around he i r repentant / hut:band and pressed her lips to his. / •' Do 'you see how wretched I am ?" asked/the man, striving to check her caresses; " do you know that for my base desertion the law Will release you frOin me ?" / But the wife drew him to the couch 'of their sleeping child and whispered : "Dear George, my heart tells me, and your countenance confirms it, that there is more happiness in store for us than we have ever known." The little Annot awoke, but her half ppoied eyes saw only her mother.- "A happy new year, dear, mamma !" she said extending her arths. "It is morning, is it not? and you will go and buy me the pretty present. Oh, you have got it already, you look so pleased."

THE BELLE OF SENOC At the foot of a beautiful range of mountains, or rather bills, in the south ern part of England, is a little 'village composed almost exclusively of fisher men's scattered hero and there in irregul r order. Back from the brow of a steep declivity looking down almost perpendicularly upon the water, sits a snug little hut, built many years before by old Tan Betsdn.

In of eof those little exeursipS she hild attempted to go i alone, a while fai•out upon the bay, a storm arose that rendered her situation somewhat perilous. In this emergency, Sandy, who was near by in his larger boat, proffered his assistance. Of course, under the circumstances, it was accept ed, and by this incident, Ella and San dy were made acquainted• She, - With woman's curiosity, ifesh•ed to visit Sandy's home, and was hereintroduced to Tont. She was immediately strueli with his gentlemanly, unaffected num ber and afterward would sometimes call with her old father, and rest at their little door. Sandy wits now desperately in love with Ella, "the belle of the Hen oe," as she was •ealled, and frequently gained the privilege of sailing with her and her father, upon the waters of the bay. Ella, herself began to look upon Sandy and his brother in a different manner, and saw much in them which she could admire. One evening Sandy returned to his hut after a pleasant sail with Ella and her father, and by his ex cited manner immediately attracted the attention of his brother, who suspecting the cause, said nothing, but went about prof acing their evening meal. Bette e they retired, Sandy had declared that the more he saw of Belle Ella, the more he loved her. orr e l da3 . , ” sa i d he, ~s lic, wii , 4 v " y 1-i n( HO 1110, and Tom, I really tielieve that she begins to love toe.", Toni said nothing.

He looked out of the window,. and here a new torment awaited him, for Toni was getting into the • light conveyance and going home with Ella and h4rfath er. Muttering a dark threat, Sandy turned from the window. "'Pis a plot! a; mean plot that Tom has laid. He knows that I love her!. Oh! he thinks that he can trifle with me! He has coaxed her away I But I'll be revenged ! I will!" He grasped a large billet of wood tightly and descending frOm the garret walked quickly away, an,d hid behind a elifr near the road.

Anon, the tears would flow from his wild eyes, and then grasping the billet he would shake it with a smolh ered laugh, so suggestive of desperation; that it would chill the blood of the bold est. • At length Tom is seen walking down the road on hiS way home.

Soon the tears begin to fall ; somewhat re ; lieved by these burning tokens of grief, and wearied in body and soul, he fulli.l into a:troubled slumber, muttering., in his dreams, ofthesad fate of his brother. The next .day Sandy dared not •go forth from his Cottage, and for three days and nights, he did not =leave liis door, until at length hunger drove him forth. lie met Ella, told her- that his brother had gone upon a long• journey very unexpectedly, and\he did not know when he would return.

"1 do," he responded, and bidding them farewell, departed along the bank of the river. That evening, a party was given et the house of one of his old and valued friends, to which he with several oth er American officers had been invited. It «•as seldom that lie had ever partici pated in festivity, more especially at that period, when every Anoment was fraught with danger. Nevertheless in respect to an old acquaintance, hacked by the solicitation of Ruby Rugsdale, the daughter of the house, he had con ented to relax from the toil of military duty, and Tionor the party for a few hours with his pi sence.
