one day very sick. NY mother, too was
sick; and thus nobody but my two sisters
could take care OF my father. In a few
days he was worse, and all the PHYSICIANS

evidently much worse. As / went into
the room, he stretched out his hand to me.

MISERABLE CASE OF A WEAVER.

A very worthy poor weaver applied to his
master about three weeks since. begging ear.
nestly for work, stating that he was i'm great
want, and would thankfully do ana thing fol-
the means of supporting his existence. His
master assured him that he did not want any
more goods, his stock being very heavy, with
out any sale. and that he could not give on.
more work to any one. The man pressed We
ny much, and at length his master said, swell.
Jonathan, If it is absolutely necessary for YOU
to weave apiece to prevent you from starving.
VIII letyou have 1t, but cannot give you more
than Is for 1t, (2s is the regular price.) for
really do not want any more goods made up for
| long time to come"
'Let me have it, master, / beg" said tine
poor man, "whatever you pay me for it. pray
let me have it,
The piece was given to him to weave, and
at the end of two days he brought it home.
| and on carrying it to his master, begged of him
TO give him Is. cd. it, saying how much he
was distressed for money. His master paid
him the Is. Cd, and the man went away.
The master feeling very uncomfortable about
the poor man, thinking that the earnestness
OF his manner must arise from excessive want
determined on following him home.
lie went to the cottage of the weaver, and
found the wife alone in the lower room, MAX
S i..'iS Siuei, over poor llre. >, w ell,
Mary, said the master, ''where is your hus-
band g ,,Oh, sir, he is just come in from your
house, and being very faint and weary, he is
just gone to lie down on his bed" 81 will 90
up and see him, Mary" and Immediately he
went to the upper room, when he saw the poor
man lying on his bed, just in the agonies of
death, with his mouth open, and his hands
clasped and after a short convulsion he expir-
red. The master was very much distressed,
and came down stairs, hoping to be able to
save the wife, who was in a worry emaciated
condition; she had just poured the Cruel into
basin, intending to carry it up to her husband.
The master said, "Come, Mary, take little
yourself first" ''No, sir,' said she, ssnot
drop will taste till Jonathan has had some.-
Neither of us have had any thing within our
lips but 'cater for the two days we were weav-
ing your piece; and thought it best to make a
little Cruel for us, before we took any thing
stronger, as it is so long since we have tasted
food but, sir, Jonathan shall have it frstr'-
The master insisted on her taking some herself
before she went up to her husband, but she
positively refused it ; at last finding that he
could not prevail upon her to touch the Cruel,
he was obliged to tell her that her husband
was dead. The poor woman set down the
basin of Cruel, sunk on the floor, and imme
diately expired.

Miscellany.
A ROMANTIC ADVENTURE.

An English paper says the following adj
venture has of late been the subject of much
conversation. On an evening early in March
last, about dusk. commercial traveller was
proceeding from Cheitenham to Gloucester
In gig, when he was accosted by respect
ably dressed lady, who informed him that she
had been disappointed by the coach, and re-
quested him to give her seat in his gig to
Gloucester. Commercial travellers are pro-
verbally gallant and good natured; and the
gentleman OF the road in this instance pos
sessed all the best characteristics of his or
der; Tie was happy at the opportunity af-
iorded him of being of the least service to the
lady, whose petition was couched in the most
moving terms; and, delighted rather than 9TH
erwlse with his good fortune, which had
thrown such companion in his way to be-
guile the solitariness and tedium of his Jour
ney, he at once granted the request, and han
ded the lady to the seat at his side.
The lady's proportions were somewhat of
the largest, and the arm which the traveller
assisted as she sprang into the vehicle ap-
peared capable of defending its possessor a.
galnst any improper liberties. Whether this
circumstance induced the traveller to cast his
eyes downwards, to observe whether all pro-
portions correspondent or whether, like many
| other gentlemen of his craft, he boosted of
know but the story goes that while his ewes
did wander towards the feet of his compan-
lon, his sight was far from being gratified by
detecting something which bore very much
the appearance of d mans trousers peepinp
from beneath silk cloak and f1ounced petit.
coat.
All the comfortable "reminiscences of past
dangers, and all anecdotes which he had ever
heard or read from the sNewgate Calender
came fresh to his recollections. He had no
doubt he was riding cheek by jowl with d
second Dick Turpin, who was only waiting
suitable opportunity to rob, and perhaps to
murder him. A lucky idea rose in his mind !;
he drew his silk handkerchief from his peck
ct; 1t fell into the road /; it was a splendid
''wipe," and as valuable as the one that an
Egyptian gave TO OTHELLo's mother he
could not think of losing it, buthis horse was
too hasty-tempered to allow him to trust the
reins into strange hands--a thousand apollo
giles but would the lady be kind enough to
step out, and pick up the handkerchief which
was now some yards in the rear of the gig
Inc lady readily assented, and while she was
performing this errand the commercial gentle
man gave the whip to his fiery courser, and
soon left his suspicious fellow Uoyagcr far
behind him. When he felt prudent to mod
crate his speed, he discovered that the lady
mad left In his seat, when she dismounted, a
handsome muff, and putting his hand inside
OF 1t, he found brace of pistols, loaded, cap
pea and balled; and with the muff and its for
inldable contents the traveller arrived safely
IN Gloucester, congratulating himself most
heartily on the narrow escape which he had
experienced.
