As I gazed into her face, it was to see j that she had once been beautiful, for there were still some lingering traces, though her cheeks and eyes were sunken, and ?round her small mouth were many lines of c inv ' Sheli id evidently seen better day*, and I | could not help picturing to my mind a j clandestine marriage, a purse-proud father in h\s rage forbidding her the shelter of her childhood's home, and now she had gone forth with the loved one, and, ere long, he had died and loft her to struggle alone i:i an unfeeling world, with nothing to love I on earth but her helpless babe. But my reverie was soon broken by the object of my thoughts rising and wearily tottering to the door. .Just us she was attempting to go through it a dashing young lady, robed in the height of fashion came up the steps followed by a small biped in imitation of a man. Never can I forget the tone of the conductor's voice, ) ' as he said.?j " Come, hurry yourself out of the way, J woman, so that this lady can get in !" Engraven on my memory yet is the I look of p-iiu tli.it swept over the poor woman's pallid face, as the would be lady ' drew herself up haughtily as she c imc in : contact with her poor sister, and the sneer j oil her lips said as plainly as words?"1 wish such miserable creatures knew their j place better !"

They sought them because of their wealth, ; not for their true worth. I low ninny people there are who seem to forget that the same (lod gave iis all existence, and that we are formed ofdust, and uuto dust we must surely return.

While in j this awful suspense, and suffering intensely from the heat, such was her presenco of mind and her wonderful heroism, that, ns a man, who wa*> worse stunned, perhaps than herself bv the explosion, was floating by licr. in a drowning condition, she seized him by the hair with her disengaged hand, and held his face out of the water until \v ski IF was brought to the rescue of both.
