been similarly emp yed; but her work,
some unfinished muslin, was lying on her

as if she were in deer thought.
Mother, are YOU unweI you look pale. 7"
"No, ms chld," replied the mother, 10
a sad. calm tone, more sorrosul than 1t
was her wont. The daughter put aside her
work and took her parent's hand, gazing,
with a troubled look, into her face. A tear
plis,eued IN the eye Of Mrs. Lr,nand, al this
delicate though foIcIbls demonstration Of
fila affection.

The tears Of the mother aud daughter were

Mr. aod Mrs. Lemand were Of English
birth. They were married IN their native
land bu, soon afte- left for lhIs country.
They were not by any means, rich, but en-.

Lemand came over as an agent for a house
in Liverpool, and resided 10 New York.
Here Ell O was born. After residence
Of about five years IN New York, the house
10 which Nr. Lemand was engaged became
bankrupt. A few fragments W re all that

but he only " wrestled with air." lie was
taken sick, and soon died, leaving his wife
and child slender stock TO support them
10 the rough Journey Of life.
Mrs. Lemand had no friends in England
10 whom she could appeal IN her extremity.
She had rich relations, or rather an uncle ;
but stla never had any intercourse wIth BIN,
and probably her existence was entlrely un.

soon found her little stock running low, aud

The compliments pay my bird are few
Yet It's metAinbs, no niggard STARE Of praise,
To say how strongly he resembles you.
