A hulv dressed in mourning, ac companied by ?> little girl about four vent s ohl, was looking at rooms, in a house, situated in a r.lenseby populat ed part of Boston. 'I think this room will suit me,' she said, to the proprietor;as she ntood in t ho front room, of the second Hour. Having made arrangements about tlio terms, she gave her name nsjMrs. Adams.' and proposed mov ing in, on the next day. She had occupied :i pleasant cot tage in the suburbs; but the present state of her liiiances. required her to give up her servant, and procure a less expensive it bode. She only kept such furniture as would he needed for one room, and disposed of the re mainder. It was with a heavy heart, she removed to her new home. It was new to her in every respect. The close confinement in one room, with the noisy bits.tle in the street below, was anything hut pleasant; hud she soon discovered that the occupants of the rooms in the tbird story, were of a (dass, with w hom, she would not like to conic in contact; After the arrangement of the room was completed, she amused the child, by taking her to the window. 'So many people,' said the little one. 'Yes darling, so many, and none arc as lonely as we are.' ( lasping t he child in her arms, she exclaimed, 'Oh! Nannie, you are the only object I havcto love! Life would be intolerable without you." 'Where tire the llowersV1 asked the child. 'We have none now, but 1 will make a window garden, in the spring, and try to keep the room bright for your sake.' The only vacant room in the house, when Mrs. Adams moved in, was the one adjoining.her own, and when a few days after, she heard some one moving in. she was anxious to know, wdio was to lie so near a neighbor. Nannie, with childish inquisitiveness, was not long in Unding her way to the room door. 'Come in dear,1 said a plcasnnt voice. The child needed no second invitation to cuter, and was soon making the acquaintance of the stranger. After awhile, Mrs. Adams called for ?Nannie," and the lady came, lend itig her into tho room. 'You sec that I :ini very prompt i n ret urning your little daughter's call. madam,1 she .said. "As our rooms are so in nr, I hope we will become friends. The child told me you inline is .Mrs. Adams: I am Mrs Hinke.' The ladies were not long in dis covering, that they were similarly situated. Each felt that she must make an exertion to add to her limi ted income, and euch had chosen her present residence, to be near a shirt factory, where"she could obtain work, which might be done at home. A mutual sympathy, caused (hem to be come last friends, und Nannie was the sunbeam which brightened their home. , ?Nannie is: more intelligent, (for her tige) than any child 1 have ever .scon. ;i11< 1 she is really beautiful.1 This was the remark of M rs. Blake. ?Who dues she resoluble?" sdie Con tinued. "Your eyes lire dark, and her's nre blue us the sky. Does she resemble her fat herV ?Yes, I think she does,' replied Mrs. Adams with some hesitation. Their c|.uict lives continued for three years; but some months previ ous, Mrs. Adams' health began to fail, and it was evident to her friend, Unit she would be another victim lo that dread disease?consumption. It \\;:s in the latter paft of Septem her, that Mrs. Blake was summoned to the sick-bed of hor sister, in Liteli lield Conn. Mrs. Adams' health bad declined rapidly in the last few weeks, and she was very much depressed at the thought of losing her friend. 'The evening before*.Mrs. Blake's depart uro, after Nannie was asleep, the two friends sat together. Mrs. Adams said, 'I understand my dis ease, and 1 know that 1 have but u short time to live, 1 may never sec von again, Nannie is the only tie I have to earth, and 1 want you when 1 tun gono, to put her. in tlic Orphan Asylum. Ifyotir sister's beulth con fiuiies as it is now. you may have to remain with her,, und 1 could not leave the child to you. but I want you to seeWter her. I would like to loll you something of<jny pas!,]' con tinued M i s. Aduins. My father was wealthy, but 1 tnnrrieu against his wish, aniline never forgave inc. My husband was kind to.nie, and always kept me bountifully supplied with money, hut I never knew what his occupation was. lie took me to live in several places, always making me com fort abl wdpft^ H<) little ?f bis society, and I was lonely. Ho was with me most, while we lived in New London; but even then, he would leave me for weeks at a time. W hen 1 would remonstrate with him, ho would call me by sonic endearing name, and thrown roll of bills to me. He serined .to think that money was all that I ftceiled for happiness. We left NowAjjnnUon to come to Boston. Here iigatTrT he interested himself for my comfort; He paid ji year's rent for the eottfiiro. in advance, but the lit t i '{'.lit W0 OCCIIpicd ib he Win* unexpectedly called away. Before leaving be put a roll of bills into my baud, which proved to he two thous and dollars. 1 already had a suffi cient amount to supply my wants for some months, so 1 put this into the Saving's Bank. Two days later, I received a letter from my husband, telling me, he had taken passage on a Norwegian ship, and that was the last letter I had from him. The ship was lost in a storm, and only two of | the crew were saved. I still kept hoping, that he would return, but when a year passed, and I had no tidings of him, 1 gave up all hope. I think T should have (lied then, had it not been for Nannie. She would put her arms around me, and try to com fort me in her childish way. 1 exert ed myself for her sake.1 'Von have never let me see your husband's likeness,' said Mrs. Blake, 'nor the one in Nannie's locket.' '1 have no objection to your seeing them now.' When Mrs. Blake saw them, she remarked, 'how very unlike they are.' Their conversation was now alto gether, about Nannie, ami I hey talk ed until a late hour. When Mrs. Blake deputed the next morning, Mrs. Adams felt that they 'would never again meet in this world.
