Her heart was full and she made no reply. ' \ Well, be; sullen if you choose, but make haste you shall, or I will leave you in the wodus.\ Then as if-vexed because his ill humor failed to irritate its object, he added in a high- er tone, \ Put down the boy. Have not I told you, twenty times, that you could get along faster if you had but one to carry ? He can walk as well as I can.\ \ He is sick,\ said his mother; \ feel how his heart throbs. Pray take him in your arms.\ \I tell you, Jane Harwood, once for all, that you are spoiling the child by your fool- ishness. He is no more sick than „I am.— You arc only trying to makehimlazy. Get down I tell you and walk,\ addressing the languid boy. He would have proceeded to enforce obe- dience, but the report of a gun arrested his attention. He entered a thicket, to discover whence it proceeded, and the weary and sad hearted mother sat down upon the grass.— Bitter were her reflections during that inter- val of rest among the wilds of Ohio. The pleasant New-England village from which she had just emigrated, and the peaceful home of her birth, rose up to her view— where, but a few years before, she had given her hand to one, whose unkindness now strew- ed her path with tho.ns. By constant and endearing attentions, he had won her youth- ful love, and the two first years of their un- ion promised happiness. Both were indus- trious and affectionate, and the smiles of their infant in his evening sports or slum- bers, more than repaid the labors of the day. But a change became \visible. The hus- band, grew inattentive to his business, and indifferent to his fire-side. He permitted debts to accumulate, jn spite of the econo- my .of his wife, and became morose and of- fended at her remonstrances. She strove to hide, even from her own heart, the vice that was gaining the ascendency over him, and redoubled her exertions to render his home agreeable. But too frequently her ef- forts were of no avail or contemptuously re- jected. The death of her beloved mother, and the birth of a second infant, convinced her that neither in' sorrow nor in sickness could she expect sympathy from him to whom she had given her heart, in the simple faith of confiding affection. They became miser- ably poor, and the cause was evident to ev- ery observer. In this distress^ a letter was received from a brother, whS^had been for several years a resident of P.fiio, mentioning that he was induced to remove further west- ward, and offering them the. use of a tene- ment which his family would leave vat-ant, and a small portion of cleared land uutilthey might be able to become purchasers. Poor Jane listened to this proposal with gratitude. She thought she saw in it the salvation of he-r-hMsbimH SJle h J P}ioved\that if ho were divided frojn.his^iernr)erate com- ' \vou\d retttrn to.Vtfa early habit: „. j and virtue. \The trial of leaving native and'endeared scenes, from which she would once have shrunk, seemed as nothing in comparison of the prospect of his refor- mation and returning happiness. Yet when all their feav effects were converted into the wagon and horse which were to sustain them to a far land, and the scant and humble ne- cessaries which, were to sustain them on their way thither; when she took leave of her brothers and sisters, with their households ; when she shook hands with the friends whom she had loved from her cradle and remem- bered that it might be for the last time ; and when the hill that encircled her native vil- lage faded into the faint, blue outline of the horizon, there came over her such a desola- tion of spirit, such a foreboding of evil, as she had never before experienced. She blamed herself for these feelings and repress- ed their indulgence. As they approached the close of their dis- tressing journey, tho roads became worse, Mere is John Williams, who went from our part of the country, and says he isamrnext- door neighbor.\ X \ • . Jane received his heartyji welcome with a thankful spirit, and rose foaccompanythem. The kind neighbor took the sick boy in his arms, saying, \ . \ Harwood, take the baby from your wife ; we do not let our women bear all the bur- dens here in Ohio.\ James was ashamed to refuse, and reached his hands, towards' the child.-! But aceus- tomedto his neglect or unkindness, it hid its face crying, in the maternal bosom. \You see how. it is.- She makes the children so cross, that I never have any com- fort of them. She chooses to? carry tbem herself, and always will hajs her own way in every thing.\ \ You have pome tp^ a new settled coun- try; friends,\ said John Williams; \but it is a good country to get a living-in. Crops of corn and wheat are such as you neversaw in New-England. Our cattle live in clover, atid a the cows give us cream instead of milk. James Harwood, I shall like well to talk with you about old times and friends down east. But why don't you help your wife over the fence with her baby?\ \ So I would, but she is so sulky. She has not spoke a word to me all day. 1 al- ways say, let such folks take care of them- selves till their mad fit is^over.\ A cluster of log cabins now met their view through an opening in the forest. \ Here we live,\ said their guide, \ a hard working, contented people. It may not be quite so genteel as some you have left behind in the old states, but it is about as good as any in the neighborhood. I'll go and tell my wife-to welcome you; for she sets great Store by folks from New-England.\ The inside of a.log cabin, to those notha- bituated to it, preseuts but a cheerless aspect. The eye needs time to accustom itself to the rude walls and floors, the absence of glass windows, and doors loosely hung on leathern hinges. The exhausted woman en- tered, aud sauk down with her babe. There was no chair to receive her. In the coiner 6Tlhe~roorh stood a rough board table, a low- frame resembling a bedstead. Other furniture there was none. Glad, krod voic- es of her own sex recalled her from herstu- por. Three or four matrons, and several blooming young faces, welcomed her with smiles. The warmth of reception in a new colony, and the substantial service by which it is manifested, put to shame the ceremo- nies and heartless professions, which in a with gratitude by flip MenflyTgrotrp^rbartlw- busband supported her i n bis armsj and mm- .gled his tears with hers. ••> :•*.\ ,\ \i / r ^ ', He returned from this • {vtairel in mncn mental distress.

As if by magic, what had seemed almost a prison, assumed a different aspect, under I lie ministry of active benevolence. A cheer- ful flame mse from the ample fire-place; several chairs and a bench for the children appeared; a bed with comfortable coverings concealed the shapelessness of the bedstead, and viands to which they bad long been stran- gers were heaped upon the board. An old lady held the sick boy tenderly in her arms, who seemed to revive as he.savy his mother's lace brighten, and the infant after a dradgnt of fresh milk, fell into a sweet and profound slumber. One by one the neighborsdepart- ed, that the wearied ones might have an op- portunity of repose. John Williams, who was-the last to bid good night, lingered a moment as h e closed the door, and said— \ Friend Harwood, here is a fine, gentle row feeding at your door; and for old ac- quaintance sake, you and your family are welcome to the use of her for the present, or until you can make out better.\ When they were left alone, Jane poured out her gratitude to her Almighty Protec- tor in a flood of joyful tears. Kindness to which she had recently been a stranger, fell as balm of Gilead upon her wounded spirit. \ Husband,\ she exclaimed, in the ful- ness of her heart, \we may yet be happy.\ He answered not, and she perceived lhat he heard not. He had thrown himself up- on the bed, and in a deep and stupid sleep was dispelling the fumes of intoxication.

Jane wept as she looked upon the dying animal, and remembered his laborious and ill repaid services. \ What shall I do with the brute,\ ex- claimed his master: \he has died in such an out-of-the way place, that I cannot even find any one to buy his skin.\ Under the shelter of their miserably brok- en wagon, they passed another- night, and early in the morning pursued their way on foot. ~- •• • • •• We w& Fashionable Millinery Opposite the Mansion House, Seneca-st.

Geneva, April 3, 1833. 42 PEUJPVJfMEMir, arc.\ • M ANUFACTURED by SNYDER & Co. ardent spirits in this small and isolated com- munity promised to be the means of estab lishing their peace. The mother busied her- self in making their humble tenement neat and comfortable, while her husband, as if ambitious to earn in a new residence the reputation he had forfeited in the old, labor- ed diligently to assist his neighbors in gath- ering of their harvest, receiving in payment such articles as were needed for the subsis- tence of his household. Jane continually gave thanks in her prayers for this great blessing, and the hope she permitted herself Ilad he asserted, that virtue is the source of all that happiness which ^depends upon our- selves, none could have controverted his po- sition. But to a woman, a wife, a mother, how, h,o.w small is the portion'of indepen-' dent liappiness. She has woven the* ten- drils of- her soul around many prop's?. Each revolving year renders,their support more necessary. They cannpt wave or warp, or break, but she must tremble and bleed. There was one modification of her hus- band's persecution, which the fullest meas- ure of her piety could not enable her to see unmoved. This was unkindness to her fee- ble and suffering boy. It was at first com- menced as the surest mode of distressing her. It opened a direct avenue to her heart- strings. The wasted and wild-eyed invalid shrunk from his father's glance and foot- steps, as from the approach of a foe. More than once had he taken him from the little bed which' maternal care had provided for him, and forced him to go forth in the win- ter storm. \ I mean to harden him,\ said\ he. All the neighbors know that you niake such n fool of him, that he will never be able to get a living. For my part I wish I had nev- er been called to the trial of supporting a useless boy, who pretends to be sick only that he may be coaxed by a silly mother.\ On such occasions it was in vain that the mother attempted to protect her child. She might neither shelter him in her bosam, nor control the frantic violence of the father.— Harshness, and the agitation of fear, deep- ened a disease which might else have yield- ed. The timid boy, in terror of his natur- al protector, withered away, like a blighted flower. Spring at length emerged .from the shades of that heavy and bitter winter. But its smile brought no gladness to the declining child. Consumption fed upon his vitals, and his nights were restless and full of >pain. \Mother I wishjl could smell the violets that.grew upon the green bank by our old, dear home.\ \ It is too early for violets, child. Bat the grass is beautifully green around us, and the birds sing sweetly as if their hearts were full of praise.\ \In my dreams last night I saw the clear waters of that brook that ran by the bottom of ray little garden. I wish 1 could taste them once more. And I heard such music too, as used to come from that white church among the trees, where every Sunday the happy people,meet to worship God.\ The mother saw that the hectic fever had been long'Increasing, and knew there was She feared his intellect wandered. She seat- ed herself on his low bed and bent 6ver him to soothe and compose him. He lay silent for some time. \Do you think my father will come?\ Dreading the agonizing agitation, which, in his paroxysms of coughing and pain he evinced at the sound of his father's well known footsteps, she answered— \I thiuk not Jove. You had better try to asleep.\ \Mother I wish he would come. I do not feel afraid now. Perhaps he would let me lay my cheek to his once more, as hp used to do, when I was a babe in my grand- mother's arms. I should be glad to say good bye to him, before I go to the Saviour.\ Gazing intently in bis face, she saw the work of the destroyer, in lines too plain to be mistaken. \My son—My dear son—say Lord Jesus receive my spirit.\ \Mother he replied with a sweet smile upon his ghastly features, \ he is ready. I desire to go to him. Hold tbe baby to ine, that I may kiss her. That is all. Now sing to me, and, oh ! wrap ine close in your arms, for I shiver with cold.\ He clung with a death .grasp, to that bo- som which had long been his sol», earthly refuge. \ Sing louder, dear mother, a little loud- I cannot hear you '\ be led\ to repentance.. The venerable maii who read the Bible at the burial of the boy/ counselled and entreated him,'with the ear- nestness of a father, to yield to the warning voice from above, and to \' break off his sinsf by righteousness, and- his iniquities by turn- ing to the Lord.\ \' .. , r There was a- change irS Jiis habits antl con- versation, and his friends trusied it would\ be permanent. She, vffib, above all oth,eraj was interested in the result, spared no e'xer-\ tions to win him back to the way 6f train,, and to soothe his h£art into peace w'itbIJP r, - self, and obedience to his Maker.
