would appear that nothing had been saved from the wreck ;
no provision made against such unexpected misfortune.
The old countess scorned to seek for aid, and gradually
sold every article of luxury, every token of her former
splendour, in order to procure an existence for herself and
grandchild, always with the belief that the misery was
but for a moment, and that " madame" was en tournie,
and would soon return. The child, who had, it appears,
manifested a great talent for music, had however attracted

AN AMERICAN ROMANCI
aged citizen of Philadelphia c
w, who asked to have a few moments' conver
him in private. The opportunity was afforded with g
cheerfulness. The western merchant, for such, in f
be was, was ushered into the parlour of the Philadelphian,
when something like the following conversation took
place :—" You seem to hac

the hand of the stranger, " you look so well, haveim-
proved so greatly, that I hope, nay I feel satisfied, all has
gone right with you." A tear trembled in the eye of the
other, at so cordial and kindly a recognition: his voice
failed for a moment, but then, rallying again, he pro-
ceeded to tell his story. At the age of fifteen b^
neglected orphan, and with fine natural talents, a co,
ful disposition, and a good heart, he was thrown into the
society of the vile and dissolute, in one of the most
wretched sections of Philadelphia county. There, in
connexion with several other lads, equally deserted or
misled, he committed, was arrested for, and convicted of,
petty theft. While in prison he was visited again and
again by the Philadelphia philanthropist, who succeeded
not only in eradicating the vicious views he had imbibed,
but in showirg him the folly of vice and the certainty of
its punishment, and inspiring him with a determination
to act correctly the moment he should be released. The
visitor was satisfied with his sincerity and gradually took
a deep interest in his case. At the expiration of his sen-
tence he provided him with the means, and, having 5
all the facts in a confidential manner to a friend in
west, obtained him a situation in a flourishing city of that
section of the union. The youth was overwhelmed with
gratitude. He had found a friend for the first time in hir
brief career. His course from that moment was onwari
