I write to you because I know - to aid me you

’I’ve had a subject on mymind since early in
the spring, '
When trees began‘ to blossommnd birds began

When the gardener, with’ his dibble,‘ his rake,

Now, it’s these very visitors-—wlio come alone;

I wish you to remonstrate with :, I speak for
all our "neighbors, ' ‘
Who, like myself, are worn to death with all
our summer labors."
We like to Ice our-friends, it’; true,
And are no grudging givers
Indeed, our family are called
Remarkably “ free livers.”

Our linen’s famed-for spotleseness,
Or: cook for skill and neatness;
And though, to make all things go right,
We have an extra woman,
Servants are only flesh and blood,
And coachmen only human.
They write us they're coming, ‘° by express

And wish for uifto meet them at Centreville
depot. .
“ They long to see us all a.gain”‘(tbot’s not the
’ only reason ; ‘ ,'
They know that sti-awbcrries‘ and ‘cream are
coming just in ieascn.
And so it is from early spring
Until the season closes,
They eat our earliest raspberries,
They pick our-finest roses. »
Order the horses when they please,
Plan picnics, sails, and fishing,
And eat as if fresh meat__nnd eggs

Now, peas and beans don’_t pick themselves,

On the day .,fo'llowin‘g, with the cori-
sent‘ofj Dr. Edgar, Florence was remo-
ved tothe house of -Mrs. Merrivale.‘ It
was plain to all that_"sh_'e was failing rap-
idly, and that in - a very short time‘ the
sun of her earthly'life would set. -'
’‘:‘‘If I could only see my fa‘ther,”_"'she
said, locking earnestly tit Mrs. Merrivale

“I will see him,” said Mrsf"Merriv‘?ale.
"Kindest, best '-of friends!" i'nurmnr-
ed Flo'rence,_as she seized the ladies Iiand
and wet it with tearsand kisses. ‘
How cliaiigcd already was the weak,

had passed since, the flutter of a liuminirlg

and now _tli_’l':se n‘er've‘s were tensely strong-
Tlic cat~‘migh't' mew, and the dog bark

Hastily, hi the ‘generous ‘eiitliiisinsui of
the mo'ment.'had Mrs. Merrivale prom-
ised. It was no-li‘ght‘d'r' agreeable task,
we whielrshe‘ stood ‘pledged; andiasthe

when alone. "The effort will be too
"great for me." " ' - '
And as 'thotiglil took this direction, a
feeling -of exh'a'ustion pervaded her body,
and a low tremor ran along her nerves.
She soon became conscious of'- a- throb-
bing in her temples. ‘ ~
"Oh, dear !”~ she sighed ; “here comes
that precursor of pain." ~
How quickly-did pain follow the tho’t.
Mrs. Merrivale was clasping her iieiid
with both hands when Margaret entered
her room. ' She ”was.abont'_say'ing. "Pm

tgaret,” when the‘. latter Valid! - - ‘ -

iwell ’£’.’. suggested Margaret. . '
"Oh, if I could hear-‘his voice, ‘and feel ‘-
the question-
“Does she wish to see me for anything
very particular '!"
“I think she’s failing rapidly,” answer-
ed Margaret. ‘
The manner in which- this was said,
touched the right cord.
"Stay, Margaret. Get the rose water
and bathe my temples. Perhaps -it will
soothe the pain. There, that will do.—
Now give meone of my nerve powders.’
"Do you feel any better?” enquired
the girl.
"I think so, Margaret. And now go
and say‘ to Mrs. Lewis that I will be
there in a few minutes."
“I've undertaken a great deal too
much for. one in my weak way,” said
Mrs. Merrivale to herself, as Margaret
left the room. "I wish that promise to
see Mr. Cook had not-been so hastily
made. I don't know what'I shall do
about it. I'm sure I haven’t strength
for»the task. It will make me sick. I
was wrong to let a kind impulse lead me
so far beyond the line of prudence.”
Her temples began to throb again, and
her nerves to quiver. A flutter among
the honeysuckle vines startled her, and
sent a pang to her sensitive brain.
"Oh, dear!” she sighed, "what am I
to do I” as she. laid her head back on the
cushioned chair, and closed her eyes wea-
rily. A thought of poor dying Florence
aroused her from the painful reverie into
which she had fallen.
“I must make an effort,” she said, and
go to her.” _ -
And as she spoke this with herself, she
got up resolutely, and went to the cham-
ber where her guest awaited her coming.
As she entered, she lost all consciousness
of debility.
tens';pn—the throbbing ceyled in her
temples, her pain was gone! When
Florence grasped her hand eagerly, and
said, "Oh, ma’am! see my father quick-
ly, for my time is drawing very near,"
all her selfish impulses and humane en-
tliiisiasinreturiied, and she replied. un-
hesitatingly,
"I will see him this very hour."
The carriage was ordered, and in less
than thirty minutes, Mrs._ Merrivale, ac-
companied by her attendant. was driving
rapidly in the direction of Mr. Cook’s
residence. She had hardly given herself
,time to think, and when she stood face
‘to face with the stern, hard-hearted, un-
A

the death of his first wife, the motherof
Florence, who had been one of her ear-
liest and dearest friends, she had met Mr’
Look but rarely; since his second mar-
riage, not once till now.
“Mrs. Merrivale!” he said, in some
surprise, as he recognized her, offering
liisliand, and grasping hers with some
cordiality. Leading her to a seat, be ad-
died, as he partly turned away, "I will
call Mrs. Cook.”
Mrs. Merrivale spoke with some’ eager-
her voice that instantly arrested the steps
of Mr. Cook, and brought him back.——
“Be seated, if you please,” said the la-
dy.
Mr. Cook drew a chair directly in front
of Mrs. Merrivale, and looked at her cu-
jriously. She was agitated, and he saw
1!. ~
“Speak freely, ma’am,” said he with
forced calmness. .
"You have a daughter.”
He started, frowned then flushed, and
seemed deeply disturbed.
"I had a daughter, rna’am. But—’’
He checked himself, showed a stron-
ger disturbance, got up and strode across
the room, then came back. and sitting.
down again in front of the lady, said :—
“What of her?”
"Do you know sir-—” Mrs. Merrivale
drew up her fine person, and spoke warm-
ly, and with something of rebuke in her,
voice, “that sick, deserted, and homeless
she sat weeping on your doorstep one
daylast winter '!” . ,
“What!” The merchant sprung to
his feet. "What is this you say ?” '
“That she was thrust from your house
when she came home to die?” '
_ “Madam !” The face of Mr. Coo_k
grew pale as ashes.
"That you passed in while she sat;
crouching in the cold, her babe held with
failing strength to the breast, even tou-
ching her garments; yet heeding notthe
looks that implored forgiveness and corn-
passion ”. , - .
"Vladam ! You are mocking me !”——.
exclaimed the terribly agitated father.
“Nothing of this happened."
“Alas, sir,! It is all true ; I had the
story from her own lips. Deserted by
t_he,;husband ; broken hearted, and going
dotvn rapidly to the grave, under the rav-
,agcs of that fatal (lisease which extin-
"-g-.i'islied_,t.he life of her mother, she came
back to her old home to die there, but
was spurned from the threshold !" , '
' "Heaven knows, that of all this I was
‘innocent and‘ ignorant," returned Mr.
Cook still profoundly agitated. f
“My poor, unhappy, erring child !—-
Oh! Florence! Florence ! That it should
ever come to this! But, where is she,
r_na’am? Tell me, is she yet :ilive'?"—_
"Yesterday I found her in such suffer-
‘iug and destitution, that it gave me the.
heartache. To-day Iliad her removed
to my house! and now, but a single want
“remains, and _von alone can supply it.-—
‘She yearns for the love of her father.-
She cannot die without his kiss of recon-
ciliation. ’ -
"My carriage is at the door; will you
‘go with me to your child ?" .
"Instantly, ma’aml ‘ Instantly !”—.
And Mr. Cook was already moving from
the room.’ . W,‘
From the time. Mrs. Merrivale start-
ed on her errand of humanity, Florence
had lain. with closed eyes, almost as still
as ‘death. There was but one image in
her mind, that of her father; 'bi’it,one
hope, that of reconciliation. Death was
near at hand; she felt his icy breath on
her cheeks, his chilling fingers in the
warm life-blood, that flowed in feeble
eurrerits from her heart. I But she fear-
ed him not. She only prayed that the
‘Messenger would delay his summons un-
iind hear from his lips the wordsof for-
giieness. ~ » .
Her nerves acquired a fine '
forgiving man for whom she was the ‘
ments confused and speechless.‘ Since -
* ieraction.
“Not now, sir; I wish to see you alone _
ness of manner, and with a meaning in ,
'til_ she could look upon her father's face, -' --
footsteps moved along the hall ; now she
heard» them on the stairs, they were near
her chamber door. Could she have mis.
taken the sound ? No—no; it was her
father’s tread! How eagerly she started
froin her deathlike quietude, bending for-
ward with outstretched arms.
“Father! Father! Oh, my father!”
Thrillingly the words echoed .on the
startled air, a moment before in such hush-
ed-repose, and she sunk upon the breast
from which she had been so long ban-
ished. and felt upon her cheeks and lips
the kisses of love for which she had pin-
ed for years in tearful desolation of spit-
it. ‘ «
3 Mrs. Merrivale suffered the meeting
to take place alone. As for herself, she
sought her own chamber there to give
free course to the outgushing BIIIOIIOIII
of a heart more profoundly stirred than
it had been for years, stirred in its truer,
better impulses, and conscious of an in-
tense delight. As she felt, she thought:
and as she thought, she wondered and
questioned.
"To do good and to communicate, for-
get not." -Why did these‘ words come
to her now, seeming to be spoken audi.
_bly?
And as Mrs. Merrivale still thought
and questioned, other words were spo-
ken in her mind,‘ that involved meanings
far beyond any thing they had ever be-
fore convcyed. True and humane senti-
ments, that slie had read in books, or
heard in preachings and conversation,
_ came up from the hidden treasures of
memorv,,and presented themselves as
truisms. _ _
“Self love is the basis of all diseased
action.”
When or where was this spoken f—-
She could not remember. But she felt,
now, as the sentiment took a distinct
‘place in her mind. that it was true, and
especially true inlier, own case; the
more particularly, as she had not failed
to remark the quiescence of all her ner-
vous ailments, from which she had suffer-
-ed little less than martyrdom, almost on
‘the instant of her becoming humanely
interested in another. She remembered
also, as she still dwelt on the subject,
that the moment her thoughts wandered
back to herself, that moment her nerves
began to quiver, and her pulse to throb;
‘and then the slightest agitation seat I
maddenening P‘.‘ln to her temples.
" There is 8 meaning in this," she
said toherself.
_‘.' A meaning that I would do well to
heed.‘ Icouldnot have believed it pos-
_s_ible_ for me to make the effort I have
made in these twolast days; yet, so far
from suffering in consequence, both
l_!l_l‘Il(l«fal]d body have risen Into a health-
I have been taught a lesson
that must be laid _to heart. If 1 would
enjoy life truly, I must live out of my-
self. How often have I heard this de-
clared; yet, never before, was it com-

How full of meaning are they now!"
When Mrs. Merrivale entered the
room where Florence and herfather had
met each other alone, after an estrange-
ment of years, the former lay with a
placid smile upon her countenance, while
the latter hen; over, gazing tenderly but
sadly upon the faded, failing wreck
which a life-wave had tossed at his feet.
‘ “ Where is Andrew?” enquired Flor-
ence._ '
" I will bring him to you in a moment
It did not occur to Mrs. Marrivale to
call Margaret, and desire her to bring
the child. No-—self was quiescent now
and, obedient to her own kind impulses,
she went out hurriedly for the babe, and
soon returned with the little one in her
arms. Nor was she agitated,or exhaus-_
ted by the effort. No; there was
strength in the generous feelings by
_‘which she was prompted to action.
“ Dear father!” said Florence, as the
child was placed by her side—" Oh love
him for my sake!” ,
Her voice trembled, and her eyes he-
came wet.
" I will love you both, dear," he ane-
wered, very tenderly.
' " Father.” She spoke with solemn
earnestness. " The time is short. Oh,
l‘ ve him as you would love me. Take.
him now. Let me see him in your arms
against your heart. There! there! 0,
my child! my faiher !" '
«And the failing sufferer raised herself
from the pillows, and leaned forward
upon the breast of her father, who gath-
ered hisarms around both her and the
babe. When he laid her gently back,
the pallet of death was on her shrunken
face. Half an hour later, and her spir-
it was at rest.
It was the third day after the death of
Florence, whose nod}, immediately on
h!!T demise, had been removed to her
-fiither’s house.
, -.- Let the child remain here until after
the funeral.”
‘Mrs. Merrivale had said this, the offer
springing from a kind impulse. And so
l!_l_e,ClIlld remained in her care. Kind
treatinent. nourishing food, and attention
t_o_t_hc'babe’s wants,had wrought awon-
derful change. The pale. ‘sickly hue of

ruddiér tinge ; and the suffering expres-
sions to _ one of pleasant enjoyment -
His grieving cry, which had so distres-
sed the cars of Mrs. Merrivale, was no
longer heard . but in its place, through
till‘ his waking hours, the music of a hap-
py_ voice. .
'Almost.inseneibly had the lady’s heart
turned towards the child. The active
interest taken in the sick and dying
mother, had lrcpt ttle‘.S!In('IO\V'f'l‘0fl'l’ ‘her
heart. and the pain for her too delicately
tiiiied nerves ; and now, just as thought
was bending inwardngain. and the old
«state beginning to return, her heartawa-
kened towards the babe, and the idea, of
parting gave her pain. At first she
went occasionally, ‘ through the day. to

child, drawn thither by a gently increa-
sing attraction. -

her ‘- thoughtful Margaret said to her,
more than once, seeing that she held the
“ You’ll bring on one of your dreadful
sick-headaches.”
“ But Mrs. Merrivale 'had never felt
more free from all ‘the precursors of "pain
than now. . -
, “ Didn't a carriage stop at our door
Just now '3” asked Mrs. Merrivale, rai-
sing her head suddenly, and listening.--;
She was still fondling the child. ‘
Margaret went to th_e window:
,“ Mr. Cook and a lady in company
with him, just stepping from a carriage
said Margaret.
“ They have come for our little Ali-
drew,” Mrs. Merrivale’s voice had in‘it
a shade of regret, and she hem her chug
down, and laid it against thuof mg
babe as‘she spoke. " I don't see how
we can part with him, Miirgaret,” she
added, ‘* he's such a dear, sweet little
I-e"0\V." , ,
In a few minutes Mrs. Merrivale went
down to receive Sher visitors. ‘ Mn.
Cook she had never seen before. -A wo-
man yet in the prime of'life, was ‘ pre-
sented, who met her kind greeting with
something of stately formality. ,
" \Ve have come for. my little_grInd_-
child," said Mr. Cook. And he glanced,
towards his wife as she spoke. hit! an:
biously, so it seemed to Mrs. Merrivale.
Mrs. Cook said nothing, but looked
somewhat frigid. 1 “ _
“ Your kindness I shall nev'er'forget."
~Mr. Cook spoke with visible emotion,
“ not only to my poor child, butié fthe
babe she has left us. We will now re.

A strange embarrassinent was mil-
ing over all the parties to this interview
Mr. Cook seemed very ill at ease ; his
wife, wiih her eyes resting on the floor,
rocked herselfnervously ; while Mrs.
Merrivale looked from one to the other.
wondering to herself as to the. cause of
iheir singular conduct. But the truth
was not long in finding its wayjo her
mind. She soon perceived that the fee-
lmgs, of Mrs. Cook we.ein" no way inte-
rested for the motherless babe, and that
even a sense of duty was not I strong
enough to lead her to a cheerful "accep-
tance ofthe precious trust ofl_'ered,by a
_Wise and beneficent Providence ‘ _ ,
" VVliere is the child '3” she asked at '
length. in so icy a tone that_Mre..Me‘rri-_
vale felt a chill creeping along her-nerves.
The latter did not reply, but turned and
left the room’. After _ an absence of 3
minute she came back, the little onein
her arms, its head"laid ' confidingly on
her shoulder, and a glow of love on its
beautiful young face, - V
" It is .a sweet, lovelychild, said Mrs.
Merrivale, as ‘she held the little Andfew
towards Mrs. Cook, wholooked at him
coldly, not even kissing him—-no,"n'ot' so
much as taking his tiny hand in "her
own. . A '
, What a wave of woman_ly indigna-
tion swept over the feelings of Mn.
Merrivale on seeing this heartfelt‘ indif-
ference. _ _ _ '
'" Mr. Cook,” said the lady, "‘7hadn’t

riage to take charge oi‘ the child?”
"Mr. Cook said " Yes,” faintly," ‘and
arose to do as his wife had suggested.‘ ,
"Will you have his things put on,
Mrs. Merrivale '3" _
Mrs. Cook smiled, witlrnn affectation
of good humor, as she said this. But
the smile was very feeble. She felt that
she was exliibiting too plainly hertrue
state of feeling, and a touch of chemo
prompted to,the assumption of 1 better
exterior. But the qliange Wu very
slight, and did not deceive Mrs. Merri-
vale. , ,
“ Certainly,” said the latter. And,
still carrying Andrew in her arms, she
left the room; Margaret met her on
the stairs, and extended her binds for
the child. But Mrs, Merrivale passed
on to her chamber without relinquish-
ing him.
" Are they going to take him away ?”
enquired the attendant.
“ Yes,” answered Mrs. Merrivale.-
Then, after looking troubled and inesc-
lute for.some moments, she-added,
"Get his things, Margaret.”
The attendant looked more earnestly
into the , face of Mrs. Merrivale, -and
with a Slight manifestation‘0f~-lutprise,
for the lady’s vo_ice had,lost_i:n'teIdinees
Only a n._omen't shy lingered, and then
went out to do as she had been desired.
On returning she found Mrs-. Merrivale
sitting with Andrew still in her arms.-
But now her face was bent down. and
her cheek laid fondly against his. Mai-
guret tried to take the child, but the lady
held him closely. - i " ’ ’

king with much feeling, "I love ‘thll

girl's approving answer. ‘ '

" I wish you would let me‘ keep Flor-

‘ “A gleam of light shot across the face

A few merely ceremonidus words

as if the healthy blood were bounding
joyfully through every vein’! 'Why
was the body, usually bent and shrunk-
en. now erect-—all the muscles tense
with life’! What had kindled in her
languid eye such an attractive bright-
ness?
It was the love of something out of
herself which had wrought this mar-
vellous change. Near to the Well-
springs of true, unselfish life, had this
brought her, and now she was drinking
at the real Fountain of Eternal Youth.
The refreshing waters were passing
through every vein.
"‘ You will weary yourselfout, ma’am.
You'll bring on one of your hard at-
tacks," Margaret would urge, over and
overagnin, as Mrs. Merrivale, never ti-
ring of the child’s company, held it in
her arms, played with it upon the floor,
or romped with it like a gay girl of sev-
enteen.
But Hrs. Merrivale heeded not the
prudent remonstrances of her attendant.
She felt that, eeen if weariness of body
followed as a consequence, it would be

It was to love others out of herself with

" To do good and to communicate for-

child had been left in her care by the
grand parents, and Mrs. Merrivale sat
_by the bed on which it was sleeping,ga-
ziug fondly upon its innocent face. Not
once during that time had she suffered
from nervous prostration—not once had
the maddening pain which seemed at
times as if it would ‘destroy her life,
‘throbbed in her temples. She thong ht

so, the answer came to her own tlioiiglit
‘in the words just quoted.
_ "May -1 never forget this heaven-

oent down fondly and kissed the slum-
bering babe. “If so large a gain come.-
from so small an effort, how much of
health and happiness may be secured in
ii. life-devotion to the good of others."
She did not forget the lesson. And
now, busy in all good works—the kind
neighbor, the generous, sympatbizing
friend of the poor, the visitor to the sick
and the afl1icted—she ever bears on her
cheerful countenance the glow of health
and the warm light. of unselfish love in

Returning Fugitive Slaves from
Connecticut.
‘ The Chrtstimz Secretary gives the
following account of the return of a fu-
gitive Slave to slavery from this State
in olden times 2--
It ha been asserted \vithin a short
time, in one of our exchanges, we do
not recollect which, that no fugitive
slave was ever taken from Connecticut.
This ltltement is no: correct. VVe re-
member an instance of a slave being ta-
ken‘ hack into slavery by his master from,
this very goodly city of Hartford. The
circumstance occurred many years ago,
when the writer was a little boy. The
fugitive was from a town near the line,
in thestate of New York. He was fa-
ken in this city, and shut up in jail, and
subsequently delivered up to his master
a marble hearted, nnserly old rascal.-
He pinioned the poor negro’s arms be-
hind him and then fastened a rope to his
body and the other end of it to his hor-
se’; neck; be then mounted his horse
and left Hartford in open day, and made
the best of his way home over the Alba-
ny turnpike. The poor slave was COED-
pelled to keep up with his cruel master
on foot. If he fell when the horse was
in Itrot, he was left to pick himself up
as best he could. VVe heard the name
of this monster at the time of the occur-
rence, but have forgotten it.
