Abby's Year at Lowell.
Tali of Self-Denial.
ChAPTER 1
" Mr. Atkins, Lsay ! Husband, why can't
yin speak ? Do you bear what Abby says-ri
Anything worth - hearing ?" was the re-
s!) - )7,5ive question bf Mr, Atkins ; and he laid!
the New Hampshire Patriot, and peered
.1-cr his speetaelei o with a look which seemed
ay, that an ,event so uncommon deserved
particular attention.
" Why, she say# that she means to go to!
La well and work 'lit the factory."
" Well, let her ko ;" and Mr. Atkins took
up the Patriot again. - • -
But I do not see bow I can spare her ;
ttic sprig 'cleaning is not yeti done, nor the
suap made, nor 64 boys' summer clothes ; and
yt,u say that you intend to board your own
men-folks and keep two more cows than you,
did last year; 214 Charley can scarcely go
alma. Ido not 4e how I can get along with:
uut her."
" But you say She does not assist you about
the house." - 1
" Well, busban ,-but she might." ,
' Yes, she migtit do. a great many thing. i
which she does nOt think o doing; and I do I
not see that she 'means to be useful here, we
will let her go to the factory."
" Father, are yen in earnest ? May Igo to
Lowell ?" said Abby. and she raised her bright i
hla...k eyes to het; father's with a look of ex
quisite delight. ,
" Yes, Abby, if you promise me one thing;
and that is, thatib-ou will stay a whole year
without visiting tis. excepting in case of slek
ness, and that yoti will stay but one year."
"I promise anything, father, if yon will only
let roc go ; for I thought you would say bad
better stay at hotie andipick rocks, and weeti
the garden, and drop corn, and rake hay; and
I do not want t'4 1 .3 such work any longer.—
May I go with the Slater girls _ ,
for that is the daf they have set out for the
return ?"
"Yes, Abby, if you will remember yOu are
to stay a year, and only a year."
Abby retired t§ rest that night with a heart
fluttering with ,pleasure ; for ever since the
visit of the Slater; girls with new silk dresses,
and Navarino boimetts trimmed with flowers.;
and lace veils, and gauze handkerchiefs, her
head had been filled with visions of fine clothes ;
and she thought if she could only go where she
could dress like them, she should be complete
ly happy. She *vas naturally very fond. of
dress, and often'While a little girl, had sat on
the grass hank b the road side watching the
stage which went daily by her father's dwel
ling; and when Jibe saw the gay ribbons, and
smart shawls, which passel like a phantom be
' fore her wondering eyes, she bad tbonigiit, that
when older, she too, would have such things ;
and she looked forward to womanhood as to a
state in which the chief pleasure must consist
in wearing fine Clothes. But as years liaised
over her, became aware that this was a
source from whikh she could never derive any
enjoyment while; she remained at home, for bet
father was neither able nor willing to gratify
her in this respOt,-and she had begun _to fear
that she must 4ways wear. the same brown'
cambric \ bo nnet ; } and that the same calico gown
would •alWays 10 her, "go to meeting dress.!'
And now what ft bright picture had teen form-- 1 ,
ell by her ardent and uncultivated imagination!i
Yes, she would go to Lowell,.auul earn all she
could, and spend those earnings in beautiful)
attire ; she woad have silk Aresses--one of

another, upon the color of Which she would deb
cidewhen she purchased iE ; and 'she would
have a new Navarino bonnet, far more beautij.
ful than Judith Slater's ; and when, at last
she fell asleep, it was to dream of satin and
lace; and her glowing fancy reveled all night
in a'vast and beautiful 4ollection of milliner'4
finery.
But very different were the dreams of AbJ
by's mother ; and when she awoke the next
morning` her first words to her husband were;
" Mr. Atkins, were you.seribus last night when
you told Abby that she might go to Lowell ?
I thought, at first, that you were vexed because
I interrupted you, and said , so to stop the con- ,
versation.
" Yes, wife, I was serious, and yoli did not
interrupt me, for 2I had been listening to all'
that , you and Abby were saying. She is
a wild, thoughtless girl, aid I hardly know
what is best to do with her ; but, perhaps it
will be as well to try an eitperiment, and let'
her think and act a little while for herself.
-expect she will spend all her earnings in fine'
clothes, but after she has One so, she may see
the fully of it; at all events, she will be ratheilt
more likely to understand the value of money!
when she has been obliged to work for it. Al-!
ter she has bad her own - way for one year, she)
may tpessibly-be willing to return home and be-1
come . a little more steady, !and be willing to
devote her active energies, (for she is a very l
capable girl,) to household duties, for hithertoti
her services have been principally oat of doors,)
where she is now too old tol work. lam alss
willing that she should see a little of the world,'
and what is going on in it ; and I hope that ifi
she receives no bnefit, she swill at least retura,
to lid uninjured!'
" Oh, husband, I have many fears' for her,7l
was the reply of Mrs. Atkins, "she is so very,
giddy and thoughtless, and the Slater girls arel
as hair-brained as herself and will lead her on!.
in all sorts, of folly. I wish you would tell her:
she must stay at home." 1
"I have made a promise," said Mr. Atkins;;
"and I will keep it; and Abbv, I trust will
hers." .;
Abby flew round in high spirits to make ne. ,
cessary preparations for her departure, and her,
mother assisted her with a beau heart.
The evening before she left borne, her father
called her to him, and. fixing upon her a calm
and almost mournful look, he said, "Abby dd
you ever think ?" Abby was subdued and al=
most awed by her father's look and manner.
There was something unusual in it—something
lin his expression which was unexpected to her
I,.but which reminded her of her` teacher's.
at tbil Sabbath . School, when be was endeavor
miliiiiiipress 'upon her mind some seribu.4
truth.
"Yes, father," she at lehgth replied, " I have
thought a good deal lately about going to Low ;
ell."'
" But I do not believe, my child, that you
have had one serious reflection upon the sub:
ject,' and I fear that 1 have done wrong in con;
senting to let you go from home. If 1 were
too poor to maintain you here, and had no cm
ployment about which you could make your;
self -useful, I should feel no self reproach, and
would let you go, hoping that all might yet bo
well;' but now I have done what at witne future
time I may severely repent of; and Abby, if
you do not.wisli, to Make me wretched, you will
return to us a better, milder and more
thoughtful girl."
That night Abby reflected more seriously
than she bad ever done in her life before, Her'
father's words, rendered inure impressive by I
the look and tone with which they were deliv- 1
ered, had sunk into her heart as words of his
had-never done before.. She had been surpri,
ed at his readY acquiescence in her wishes, but,
it had now a new meaning, She felt that she
was about to be abandoned to herself, because
her parents despaired• of being able to do any
thing
with her, and thought her too wild; reck
less and untameable to be softened by aught
but the stern lessons of experience. I will
surprise them, said she to herself: I will show'
their that I have some reflection : and after I
come home my father shall never ask me if'
Tama. Yes, I know what their fears are, and
I will let them see that I can take tare of my
self, and as good care as they have ever taken
of me. I know I have not done as well as I might
have done, but I will begin now, and when. I
return they shall see that I am a better, milder
and more thoughtful errs. .And ~the money ,
which I intended to sneud in fine dresses shall
be put into the bank I will save it all, and
my', father shall see that keen earn money and
take care of it ton. 0, hew different I will he
from what they think I am, and how very glad
it will make my father and mother to see that
I ank not so very bad after all !
New feelings and new ideas bad begot new
resolutions, and Abby's dreams that night were
of smiles frottrher mother, and words from her
father, such as she never bad received or de
served.
When she bade them fa'rewell the next morn
ing she said nothing of the chlinge which bad
taken place in her views and feelings, for she
felt a slight degree of self distrust in her own
firmness of purpose.
Abby's self distrust was commendable and
; .
auspicious ; but she had,a very prominent de
velopment in that part of the bead where phre
nelogists locate the organ of firmness : and,
when she had once determined upon a thing,l
she usually sent through with it., She hadi
now resolved to pursue a course entirely differ- I
eat from that which was expected ,of ber i . as
different from the one she had at first. marked
out for herself. This was mere difficult ouac
ceunt of -her strong propensity for dress, a love

purchase, this beautiful, piece of make, her'
constant zeply.was, " Np, I have determine4l

resolution." :

At khorclose of a pleasant April day, Mr.
Atki4sat at his kitchen fire-side, with Char

Atkinil, who was busily preparing the evening
meal, is it not a year since Abby lelhouier
" Why husband, let me think I 'always

Krhaps she will not come at all," said Mr.
Atkins, with a gloomy look ; " she has written
us but few letters, and they have been short

bad news ; and havin ,, nothing ple , .irit to tell

customed to writing, and that may account for;.
the f44v and short letters we have received ;
but they have all, even the shortest contained
the assurance that she would be at home at
the ckse of the year."
. "Oa, the stage has stopped here," said little
Charv, and he bounded from his father's
kneej The next moment the room rang with
the about of " Abby has come! Abby has ,
come" In a few moments niore she was in
the - niidst of the joyful throng. Her father 1
presied her hand in silence, and tears gushed
fromiier mother's eyes. Her brothers aid
sister were clamorous with delight ; all but lit
tle °hurley. to whom Abby was a stranger, and
who kepelled with terror all her overtures for a
bettg7 acquaintance. Her parents gazed upon
Ite.r.lith a speechless Measure; for the better
had taken place in their once wayward girl.—
Yes,there she stood before them, a little taller
ands little thinner, and when the flush of emo
tionAad faded away, perhaps. a little paler ;
but the eyes were bright in their joyous radi
ance, and the smile of health and innocence
was playing around the rosy lips. She care
fullAlaid aside her new straw bonnet, with its
plaid trimming of light blue ribbon, and her
dark merino arise showed to the best advan

inori . i delicacy of personal appearance than when
she left them, and also more softness of man

fem Oles had wore off the little asperities which
bad marked her conduct while at home.
"Well, Abby, bow many silk gowns have
you;!got?" said her father, as she opened a
lark trunk.
;Not one, father," she said as she fixed her
dark eyes upon him with an expression which
told':' all. " But hero are some books for the
ehilOren, and a new calico dress for mother ;
arothere is a nice black silk handkerchief for
yotrito wear around your neck on Sundays.—
Ac, pt it, dearfather, for it is your daughter's

your signature. The letter
suine, to the American peel
know you firt=h, the intervening spi aree
days only between this date and its arrival bete;`
would lead i 11
ie' to suspeet its , authenticity. '"
your determ ination to allow- your n a me to `go
before the Philadelphia Convention as a candi
date for the Presidency had been in accordance
merely With your Wishes and individual judg
ment, I should have kept a: respectful silence.
But as your 4eYermination is based upon the
supposed interest of the Whig .paily, I shalt
venture, unah'ked, to add my opinion to that of
the numerous Whigs to whom you refer. When
I tell you tl4t royalty rarely bears the truth,
you will think, no doubt, that I' repeat a'very
stale dogmli,lif not altogether out of place in a
republic. But there are parasites in republiCS
as well as ins deipotisms, and of those you have
a very liberal portion just now. - Were I to
claiiii to be seer personal friend, I might better,
perhaps, accomplish my puepeses ; but as I nev
er avowed oile.class of sentiments whilst malty
holding another, I tell you, frankly that, although
from my earliest youth Iliad ,been something
more than alcold - admirer of yourself, so when
you started,lon the 14th-of August, 1845, to
the Virginia ;Springs, leaving your friends and
family to murder me in my sick bed, for vindica
ting those ptinejples which you had taught me,
in your speeches, at leasti I ceased to be your
friend, and became, by the necessity ofmyna- .
ture, your enemy. What rSball say to you now;
then, will liatye, the more weight, bectuise you will
see that it entries from .an 'honest, if not, an-itn
prejudiced Man • whilst I shall atteatipt; tiAleist
I myself • of thnliddividual end attempt 'te .. sfiliak,
as the member of a great party
I shall dice take up your letter in its proper
orfier. In saying that you bad " a strong dis
inclination.to the use of my {your) name in
connection frith that office," courtesy leads me
to confine repelf to the remark that you decei
ved yeurseli—but on one else I So soon asyoo
were defeated in the last election, a committee of
your friendli from Frankfort waited 'upon you
and condoled .with you upon that melancholy iil
vent. Yob responded in a manner that led me
almost with the power of certainty, to remark
to some friends that Henry Clay is a candidate
again for the Presidency. :Time attests my !a,-,
gacity. - _
So strong was my conviction that you would
be a candidate, when letters were read in the
Convention of the - Whig friends of Gen. Tay
lor" in the .State House-at Frankfort, fin the-
Hons. J. J'. Crittenden, Charles S. 3148betiff, :
and J. P. Gables, banging us not' to nominate
Gen. Tayhir, anti thus posh you from the track,"
and sayinithat you would on your return home
retire from •the canvass, in the presence "of the
'thousands there assembled I rose up and de-
I dared that although I respected these gentle- •
I men, I had not the least confidence. that you
would in truth withdraw. Time has again'
~
at
tested' my 'sagecity. Alter you• had gone to
New York; and delegates ware chosen to-the -
National Coevrention whilst you were the citis
guest, and it was again asserted that you would
decline on you!, return home, I said 00,-you re
fused to go to New York last summer,you
would not have gone now unless you had eter
mined-to rlin for the Presidency.. Time attests
the troth of the prediction. '
You say ; that your friends represent that the '
'withdrawal of my name }could be fatal:to their ,
success.' 'lf they so-speak to Yoti",lbey speak !
a different language elsewhere. , I have been i
told that all the members of Congress from our .
awn State but one told:yob that you could not
be elected' and that - diyers - o - tbera whom I coati c
name told you the same tiring. But if thole re- -
ports be untrue,' allow tee , to 'tell you" that Ai ,!
have heard blmeet universally that - your
_name
r would Tigtbn bring us defeat. . In that opinion i
I sought, and will give my reasons: Because li'
am not guiltless myself; and beeline* of the . bail
taste of the*thing, I will not urge objections to ' .
I your Private character. Neither will - I preee .
I your prestige of ill luck,' in saying that all - thsoi
measures Which you have urged upon the peo-:
Plc, except the compromise, have beeiti
erased froM the statute book. For 'we-lament !
in .common, the fall of the tariff , the bank, and
1 interlial itnprovementa, under yourtlead. I alma'.
confine myself to the , question. of availability..
Three times have we rum you and - three . times
