A TALE OF REAL LIFE.

mod.-st, quiet, engaging demeanor. For
many months after we moved to

take. n9£llf'l(:'SS was the ruling passion of the

the only indulgence ofthe old people, wliich

never partook. She never went otit except-

reminded me of one of those bright, pretty
flowers that hang on the crabbed. bare stem
ofthe cactus. I piticd her; her spring of
life scented passing away so tlrearily. My
pity was misapplied; and I felt it to be so,
when I looked into her serene and sweet

that happiness which certainly flows from
It is the great matter. Grace, to have your
desires bounded within your station; to be
satisfied within youristation; to be satisfied
with the qttitt unnoticed peifom-iance of [hp
duties Providence has allotted to you; and
not to waste your efforts ofstrengtb in seek-
ing to do good, or obtain pleasures bevoud
your spbtre. This is true wisdom ;'and
this was Lucy VVendhall’s. A‘. last. there
came to this obscure family what comes to
all——death and its changes. The old mail
and his wife died witliitt a few days of
each other, ofthe influenza that then raged
in the city. The hope of serving the pretty
orphan, induced meto go to the house. She
received me gratefully, and as an old friend,
for though we had never exchanged a word,
there had been an interchange of kind looks
and fritndly-nods-—those little humanities
that bind even strangers together. On in-
quiring into her affairs, I fouhd that she was
left almost penuiless, but that a discreet and
kind female friend had procured a place for
her in Ross’s glove factory. Lucy was
skilled in all arts and ltatidicralt ofthe needle,
Ross, it seems, isa very tbtivirigtradcsnian;
and on the warm rccommendzttion of Lut:y’s
friend, he has promised to board her in his
family, and to allow her sufficicut compen-
sation for her labor.
In it few days she removed to her new
home. It is now fifteen months since she
left our street. She came once to tell mu
she was perfectly satisfied with her place,
and since thcn I have heard nothing of her.
[)0 not look so rt-proving, my llt(.ly_l\/Tentor,
I have been intt-iiclitig for some time to call
at Ross’s to rnzike inqruirics about her. My
story has brought the almost to the shop‘:

well; nothing truer than the trite old coup-

“Honor and shame from condition rise:

that poor Lucy may not have suffered from

Mr. Ross, I believe .7
The Smile ma’am.
I called M r. Ross, to inquire after a voting
woman who came to live with yofi last
Cht'istirtns.
I have (1 great many young women living
with me mo'arn.
The old man’s humor requires me to be
very explicit. Her name M 1‘. Ross, was
Lucy VI/endhall.
Ab, Lucy Wendball did come into the
factory about that time.
'I‘hcre was an expression in Ross's face
at the mention of her name, that I did not
clearly comprehend. It might bctide good,
it might bctidc evil of Lucy. I‘me-rely
wished to knotv Mr. Ross, whether Lucy
had given szttisftictiou; and whcthcr she still
remains with you .7
TVas you a friend to Lucy TVeridball,
m:i’atn. -
I should think it an honor to call myself
so. but I could hardly claim the name. She
was my neighbor and interested me by her
correct dcporlmentantl tincomoton dutifulness
to her old parents. Ross made no reply, but
.’uuibled over some gloves that lily on the
counter; then tied up the brindle, and laid it
on the shelf. You seem Mr. Ross, riot dis-
posed to answer my inquiries. I am afraid
that some misfortune has happened to the
poor girl.
‘Would youlike to know mzfam tvhathss
happened to her ? he leaned his elbow upon

his desk, and seemed about beginning a story. .
Certainly I would. ,
Well yoti know when Lucy came to me,
she was a little demure thing——not a bean-
ty, but so comely and tidy, that she was a
pretty resting place for the eye of old or
young. , She was as great a contrast to the
other girls in the work shop, as white is to
black.‘ She sritjustas quiet in one corner,
and minded her work. and took no part in the
gobbling. You must know what a parcel of
girls is, ma’am, dingirig from morning to
night, like forty thousand chimney swallows.
Lucy was very difierent. she made herself
neat and trim in the morning, and did not
loose half an hour at noon, when the ’pren-
tice boys were coming to dinnen twitching
out curl papers and furbt.-lowing her hair.——
The boys and girls tised to have their jokes
about llt.'l', and call her the little parson; but
she only preached in her actions, and this
is what 1 call practical preaching ma’am.
She was a little master workman with her
needle.
I firstbegan business; but you know ma’am
there’s always a but in this life) she gave me
great offence. She crossed me where I
could least CERT to be crossed.
Not intentionally Iam sure Mr. Ross.
You shall bear ma’am. I have an only
son, John Ross—a fresh, fine looking, good-
onto red, industrious lad. I set my heart on
his marrying his cousin, Amy Bunce. She
is the daughter of my younger sister, and
had a pretty fortune in hand, enough to set
John up in any business he fancird. There
was ‘no reason in the world why he should
not like Amy. I had kept my vvisl:-es to
myself, because I knew that young folks’
love is like. an unbroken colt,that willnever
mind spur’uor bit."
