One old woman, a distant relation of Helen's and who was living in 1,829, says she worked in the harvest with lier,-but she never ven tured to ask her about her sister's trial, or. her journey to London. " Helen," she said, " was n lofty` body, and, used a high 'style o' language." The same old woman says, "that every year Helen received a Cheese from her sister, - who lived at White haven, and that she always sent a liberal portion to herself or her father's family." The old person here spoken of must have been a mere Child to our heroine, who' died in 1791, al the age,of 81...0r 82 and this difference of ago may account. for any re serve in speaking on such a subject, making. it appear natural and proper; and not the result of any "loftiness" of character. • All recollections of her are connected with constant and (levant reading (tithe Bible.— A stnallstand, with a large open Bible, in variably oceupied one corner of her room ; and she was constantly observed stealing a ghince, reading a text or chapter, ns her av ocations pe i rmitted'her, time, and it was her habit when it thundered, to take her work and her Bible to the front of the cottage, al; lodging that the Almighty could smite in the city as well as the 'field 'An extract from the recent letter says, on the subject °four lietvine—c?

The metnorial which Mrs. Goldte wished to be raised over her grave has since been erected (dike expense of Sir Walter Scott.

Respect the grove of poverty, when combined with the Jove of truth and dear affection. Jeanie Deans is iecompensed by her bi ographer for the . titials through which he leads her, with a o'll measure of earthly comfort ; for few nbielists dare venture to make - Virtue itsowr reward ;, yet the follow ing reflection .shoWF. him to have felt how lit tle the ordinary coOrse of Providence is in accordance with man's natural wishes, and his expectations of a splendid tempiwal re ward of goodness " That a character so distinguished forler, undaunted love of vir tue lived and died in poverty, if not want, serves only to show us how insignificant in the sight of heaven.are our principal objects of ambition upon earth."
