Famine in India?Frightful Sufferings
of the People.
I var'.el fn>n> Midnapore, a civil station
about seventy miles southwest of the
capital, on the morning of the 2(Jlh of
June, nnrt had hardly proceeded some
seven tndes when commenced the painful
sights which, varying only in intensity,
Continued until I again returned to this
place. Itiiu had falen heavily durin'g
the r??t. 1. an'l ihe palki men were trn lg
ing slowly through the mud. when a little
alter dav break 1 saw two bodies under a
tree. As ill tm seemed to bo a s'ight
motion in one of them I a tgbted, and On
g?tng up 'o it found, covered under an
old cloth, w ith just a spark of life left in
him, an old -man slowlj dying from bun
gar. lie appe ired as if he had a thin
piece of transparent India rubber tightly
drawn o?er h a sku'dtou frame, soomaciat

hear, and lie slowly filtered out hi* tx'0
of woe He suul that he and his com
tMiiion had left their homes, after seeing
their families die from the efleets of chol
erx or famine, and hud got tlius fur on
their journey toward Mi?lnapore, Imping
to get relief here, when one, struck hv
damp nod hunger, dies on the road undei
a tree, and the oilier w ?kes to lind lite
friend a corpse, an 1 himself exhausted and
drenched by tin) heavy rains that had
fallen during the n'ght, unable to move

Tim beer seemed to revive liim ; ami I
went to mv j> ?'ki to get soma h scuits,
but returned to find the p i..r sutTeter in a
stale of collin. and in a few nvntilea he
??i dead. Tim half picked body of bis
companion attested his ta'e
I continued tnv jiinriMV, passing at in
terval* thft dead as thev lav unbured and
in every r'age of decomposition on the
aide of ihe road Sometimes I would ?<e
a c!u?ler together. In one place there
were twenty two bodies within the space
of ha'f a inite ; in another six, close to
gether, all m>>re or h as mangled an.I torn
liv jtrkl'r, dogs and vult ires. Pushing
iny wnv through the jungles and over
paddv fields, often obliged to swim sundry
streams swollen by the late fined*, it)
one of which my p?!ki was upset, I
traversed one hundred and twenty miles
of country, when I reached the house of a
Mr. Falls, an assistant in Messrs. Watson
<& CoY indigo concern hers. .That pen
ileman informed me that a woman had
died by the road side, and that s living
child was said to ba at her hrea?i ll?
sent out hi* servants, who returned saying
tlimt they had found tl>?* corpae ai:d the
child, but the mother's arm clasped the
Utter r> tii!hi that in bending it hack,
stiff and cold, it broke. Titer say the
living and the dead had been thus linked
together for two days; at any rate, the
poor little infant, exhauate.1 by exposure
and want, died as it was being released.
Tli* above gentleman and myself were
travelling through a dense Jungle. Miles
away from any human 'habitation we
perceived a famished native, of the South'
al tribe, lying on the ground. Ha had
thrown himself down to meet a certain
death; but a little brandy rekindles the
vital spark, and, loath to leave him to he
a prey (or the jackal and leopard, we
have him alaesd on the ~
t ' |F"?I?I.
Tlie i>? ki tourers, however, refused to
budge an inch, eeving ilmt their cMte

and (hen trudged nlong will) ilmir tipsy ,

for him. I .tin glad to mid that in lwen< |
ty?fnur hours after this the burden ?m
walking shout. The misery entailed by
the famine line brought out ell the worst
yialilie* of the lower class of native*?
K% a rule, afl'aoiionate and fond of their
'tomes, they have In too many instances

8wMy, I here record them: A Woman,
with Iter three young children, crawls up 1
to a planter's lions- j ist as luncheon whs .
being carried from the table ; she begs i
for the remains of the curry and rice,
I which are at once taken out into the
| verandah and placed before Iter. With
( out attempting to eat, ?he qmetlr sen's
the three children around the dish, who

i and although the mother is wasted to a
j skeleton, yet, mumbling her thanks, she
turns h?hv grateful that her ofT,spring
have been fed, evtyt while she herself still |
hutrgernlh In another village we met a
little girl and her mother lting under a
tiling) tree. Both were faint from hum j
ger; they had been trying to keep life |
together by feeding on snails picked out j
, of ponds, berries and lizards, where they
| could obtain them, hut daily feol*ng j
weaker, they had sunk down under a trie, f
: awaiting a lingering death. Wo get I
! some boiled rice and put it before them, i
The younger is tho stronger; the mother j
is too weak to raise herself. Although j
the child's big eves fi tshe I with a hum !
gry gloom, Vet her little hau ls, well filled, |
first seeks ilia mother's month, ami not I
until half the rice is thus gone does she
herself eat.
It is impossible to judge of the mini
I hers that have died from actual want, as
I no returns are kept; hut taking the three

"I Love You."
A tired woman hushed to sleep her
ne*ttsng babe. Beauty once made hor
face radiant, perhaps, but all that beauty
is goue now. The blue eye is dim and
faded?the pale brow covered with lines
of care. Perhaps, with' that far off look
of hers, she sees three little graves green
with as many summers. Her home is
very humble?all day she iias toiled, and
the fainting spirit almost surrenders to
fatigue, the downcast eves tre.ir.hla in
teais?she is so weary. And everv nerve
tingles when the "hoys" come hungry
from school, some with a tale of sorrow
that mother must hear.
And afuo tliev wore hushed with kis8?
es or chiding*, it is time to get supper for
seven hungry mouths, and the accustomod,
never ending routine of putting away
and cleaning up,till the worn out creature
wonders with a fgh if there really will
ever come a rest to her?an eternal rest.
At last she can seat her weary limbs
in the old comer rocking chair. The
babe whose eyes closed fitfully to low lullabv,
lies id her # father's lap He is a
plain man that good father, with an
honest face and a great heart, that would
take in all tiie care and sorrow of tho
household.
The babe sleeps. With a ru le gen*
tleness he lays it on its mother's bosom,
anil as the ruddy fire light plays over her
care worn features, ho looks upon her
with eyes suddenly grown lustrous and
beautiful. 1J? iifts his great hand softly
till it rests on her shoulder, as lie says :
"I love you, dear Emily."
How the poor heart leaps into love,
ugni Kim rest. llow vanish the carea
litai trod upon her very roul. She no
tnore remembers lite toilsome washing.?
She redacts not now that the pretty babe
w\i|? pink Hushed check against her breast
has worn her patience threadbare with
ita constant tears and unrest. She forCeia
tliat the lire would smoke, the broth
bum, that the children leased her, that
the line broke, and that every limb in Iter
frame ached with fatigue.
What wero those in comparison with
the steadfast love that had burned for 18
years,in the sunlight of happiness.through
lie clon ls of despair, wlieo beauty made
her winning, and when her charm of lore
liness hail gone, and the freshness of her
vou:li had departed forever ? What cared
she for aught outside her home,though
be had many sorrows, while such wortia
thrilled h>-r whole being ?
"I love you, dear Kmily."
Ah ! you long married, repining hushands,
who exact every attention and duty?how
much would it cost to make your
home thus beautiful with all its cares ??
I tell vou one word will loosen great bur?
dens from the shoulders of the toiling
woman you call your wife Try it. Go
home some night, and look upon her
with the eyes of long ago. For one mci
merit think how great trials she took in
her heart when she married you. Then
tenderly clasp her hand, and as she looks
with wonder opened eyes, say to her in a
low and steady voice, not carelessly, nor
sportively, but earnestly,
'! love you."
