Hope's kindly light should I•anish night,

Before we yield on life's' rough field
To fickle fortune's way,

MARY OF THE HEATH
A TRUE TALE
It is by rio'means an uncommon -observa
tion, that did any one note down the remark
able occurrences of his own life, those of his
friends with which ho is well acquainted, or
such as become known to him on good au
thority, in the course of ;a few years, how
curious a collection it would faun. The fol
lowing is an example: •
• It lutist be now nearly a century ago when
one fine summer day. about the hour of noon
a little girl, who couli not have been more
than ten or eleven years old, was soco on a
particular part of Common, or Heath
in Kent, (not very far from the house of a
wealthy baroness) suspeoding a pot on three
sticks set upright in the ground, after the
manner of gipsies, over a fire which she bad
kindled beneath it. She was dressed in rags,
and seemed miserably poor and forlorn. The
child was alone. The singularity of the cir
cumstances excited the surprise of two lad- .
ies, who were taking their morning walk on
that airy and agreeable common They look•
ed around, expecting to see a party of gips
ice., to whom they conjectured the child
must belong, but, though wide and open,
not a living creature, save the little girl boil
lan her pot, was to be seen far or near.--
Their curiosity was raised and much increas•
ed when, on a nearer approach, as she turn
ed her head towards them, though burnt and
browned with the sun and wind, they saw at
a glance that the face which locked out from
beneath a bonnet worn out of all color and
shape, and the arms which were but partial.
ly covered by an old tattered cloak, was neith
er of a gipsy character or complextion. The
features we e small, round, and the eyes and
hair of tree Savo rigio;—blue and light
brown. There was als an expression of art
lessness in the countena CO, which, it must
be confessed, is not very generally the die
tinguiahing mark of the daughters of Egypt.
There was something so singular in the soli
tariness of the employment and the personal
peculiaritieb Of the obild,. it- was- impossible
that two ladies of good hearts and benevo
lent intentions could other than feel interest
ed for her. Thy proaeeded, . therefore, at
once to question her, begiriog with the kind
ly and enttortriging expression of 'My dear,'
as they asked what she wan doing there? __

'Boiling my po .r my breakfast,' was her
reply.
• 'Andwhat have you lea in it?
'Two turnips that I took out of a field.'
'ls that all that you have got for your
breakfast?'
'All but some bits of breath'
'That's a very poor breakfast. To whom
do you belong?'
'To nobody.'
'To nobodyl anti you so young! Bow did
you come here, and where are you going?'
' don't know."
- V'On neither know bow you came here

place.'

'A blush rose in her cheek as she' replied;
Yes—l—have-been-wah—gipsie:.
'Where are they, and where did you leave
them?'
'She paused a mrent, looked down, and
then sail, got away from them, for I did
not like their way of life.'
'And when was it, and bow have you liv
ed since you left them?'
'Very hard ,' said the child. -begged
my way along the roads, and with the few
half pence 1 got 1 bought a little bread to
save me flow starving, I have nowhere to
go. I have no home'
She burst into tears, and there was some
thing so forlorn, both in voice and counte
nance, as she spoke these words, it was int
possible to doubt their truth. There was
nothing in it of the whine of a made up tale
to Excite compassion, and she rather soug_ht,
to - wipe away her tears unobserved, as she
turned aside bar head, tlyn to make a pa.
rade of them.
am sure,' said ;Miss (laugh
ter of a neighboring baronet, Ithere-is some—
thing very uncommon in the child's story.
Poor creature, she is really is very great
distress. Lot us take her home, and mam
ma will know better than we can what it
would be the best to do-for her.'
Her friend assented, and Miss
turned to the child and told her that if she
would come along with her she would give
her some good advice,, The little girl fol
lowed gladly -enough, but she would not
leave the pot behind her, for that and the
miserable attire on her bank was all the pro
perty she possessed in the world.
Lady U was a woman of known be.
nevolcnee; bat she was not one who exerted
it without due.cantion and judgment. She
did not, by hasty, or indiscriminate charity, ,
encourage vice and low cunning ; The truly
afflicted sought her doors, the .idle and veg.
mod passed on, certain that inquiry would
precede relief. Yet with all this lady
did not carry caution to that cold and ex
treme extent which rendered her suspicious
where there appeared tomb of want and sor
row that carried with them their own evi
dence obsincerity. This was such a ease.
'That child,' said Lady o—, after
hearing her daughter's account of the meet
ing
on the common, 'is indeed in need of
food and rest. I can see it in her looks.
can see that her distress is real it every line
of her face, which is a very pleasing one; and
in the few words she has spoken there is
such a touching tone, very different from
hypocrisy. She shall have something to re
here bar hunger, and then *e will question
her. •
The little creature's tears were seen to
start in her eyes at the sight of the food, for
she was famishing with want. The meal
ended; once more she was conducted to the
presence of the ladies. Lady 0, with much
gentlenega commenced her interrogatories,
after having kindly, but in a way suited to
the capacity of a poor untaught girl, endea
vored to impress on her mind the duty as
well as the importance to herself of speaking
the truth.
The following particulars were artlessly
narrated:
The child began by saying that she was
born in Bath Her father was ip business
in that city; she told his.trade. Her step
mother treated her so brashly and unkindly
that on some *gipsies coming into the neigh
borhood, as she was allowed to rue neglected
about, and glad -to be out of eight of her se
vere step-mother, she got _acquainted with
them, and was finally induced by their per
stiasioos to run away and j9ia them. With
these gipsies she had lived two or three
years. going about the country with them.—
Sim did not know if her father had made a
ny inquiry concerning her or not. At length,
on liking tbo way ot life of the people a
mong whom she had fallen, she determined
to leave them on the first opportunity. She
had stolen away from them, taking nothing
with her but one of their old pots, with a
view to cook for herself a turnip, or any.
thing she could get. to support "her, so that
she might not die • for want of fetid. She
had wandered about the rodde fled wursides,
begging ever since she had quitted the ,
ay camp, and With. the very, few halfpence
she had picked up in this manner, had
bought a penny loaf at a villagt sber -might
pass in her rambles, She did not at all know
where she had,been wundteing, but at least
she had reached the common, wheto the
young ladies found her that morning. '
Lady bad little or no doubt , that
the ohild't tale -was true: and thinking to
east out so young and so unfriended a crea
ture again on the wide, world would bs to
give her up to (*traction, she resolved to
afford her present shelter, at least till Abe
could ascertain by inquiry that all she stated
was oorreot. [laving obtained from the
child the name and address of her father,
she determined at once to write to Bath, beg
ging an immedfate reply.
In the interval the poor little wanderer
was attired in better clothes, and placed no
der the especial care of a steady female ser
vent, with a charge to keep a strict eye up
on her. In a few days an answer came from
Bath confirming the girl's story, and expres
sing an earnest whit' for her return home, to
live with her father, But the little Mary
evinced so ranch terror at the thoughts of
going back to her stepmother that Lady G
forebore to urge her to return home.

vent to whose especial care she had been corn.
milted spoke very favorably of her. Lady
G—proposed, therefore, to keep. her in
the family, and to try to make a servant of
her, beginning with some humble duties in
the household. The child's gratitude was
of the liveliest, kind, there was nothing bad
in her; indeed, her natural disposition seem
ed docile and amiable.. But she had receiv
ed no instructions; all her good qualities
must, therefore be inherent. This was very
promising, and her benefactress after a few
weeks - inore - of — probationT - fin ding—t h a Fah e
might be trusted amodg•tbe other children,
sent little Mary to the 'village school. There
the child showed so much aptitude for learn

came the head of the class, and made .such
progress that on leaving school, two or three
years after, she was promoted in the house

several years, repaying the kindness and gen
erosity of Lady-13 by the' most assiduous
fulfilment of her duties and the warmest at

had been fostered and educated. Greatly

good fortude—cherished by her superior, be
loved by the poor and respected by every
one—the full grown woman io her prosperi•

clews relic of the lowly and afflicted state
from which, by a good Providence, she had
been so mercifully rescued, when, as the for

turnips on a heath in Kent, on the most e

A HEAVY DEBT.--The National Debt of
the United Stares is a weighty concern in
more than one way. A correspondent of a coo
temporary, who has ciphered it up calculates
that in silver it would 57,940 tons, of 2,240
pounds each. In gold it would weigh 4,1-
38 tons. To frcightthe amount in silver, 94
vessels, of 615 tons each would ho required
We add that loaded in a Wagon train—a ton
of silver to each wagon—allowing forty feet
for each vehicle and team, the train of wag

which train following the , regular route of
travel, would reach from San Francisco to
within two miles of the city of Austin, in the
State of Nevada. There would be 57,940
- wagons, 115,880 horses, and 57,9.10 drivers.
It will take a long time to pay a debt which
stretches out such a distance. The debt a
mounts to f55,i00,000,000. If in silver dol
