THE TWO WIDOWS.
BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.

The following story, the simple and do
nestle incidents of which may be deemed
scarcely worth relating. after such lapse
Of time, awakened some degree of interest,
a hundred years ago, in principal seaport
Of the Bay province. The rainy twilight of
an autumn day; parlor on the second
floor OLA small house, plainly furnished, as
beseemed the middling circumstances of its
inhabitants, yet decorated with little curiosi-
ties from beyond the sea, aud few delicate
specimens Of Indian manufacture,-these
are the only particulars to be promised in
regard to scene and season. Two young
and comely women sat together by the FIRE
side, nursing their mutual and peculiar sor-
rows They were the recent brides Of two
brothers, sailor and landsman and Two
successive days had brought tidings of the
death Of each, by the chances of Canadian
warfare, and the tempestuous Atlantic
The universal sympathy excited by this
bereavement, drew numerous condollng
guests to the habtation of the widowed sis
tiers. Several, among whom was the minis
ter, had remained till the verge of evening !;
when by one, whispering many comfortable
passages of Scripture, that were answered
by more abundant tears, they took their
leave and departed to their own happier
homes. I he mourners, though not insensi-
BILE to the kindness of their friends, had
yearned to be left alone. United, as they
had been. by the relationship of the living,
and now more closely by that of the
dead each felt as if whatever consolation
her grief admitted, was TO be found in the
bosom of the other They joined their
hearts, and wept together silently. But af'
ter an hour of such indulgence, one of the
sisters, all of whose emotions were influenced
by her mild, quiet, yet not feeble character
began to recollect the precepts of resignation
and endurance, which piety had taught her
when she did not tkiRk TO need them. Hel
misiortunes, besides, as earliest known
should earliest cease 10 interfere with hel
regular course Of duties; accordingly, hav
ing placed the table before the fire, aud ar
ranged frugal meal, she took the hand o
her companion,
"Come, dearest sister you have not eater
a morsel to-day" size said, "Arise, l pra.
you, and let us ask blessing on that whicl
is provided for u.s."

made us an Independent people. II was also
desirable that there should be, at least, one
picture in our National Hall, whose subject
should commemorate an event connected with
the history of our Eastern States; since they
were first to grappe in that struggle for liberty,
the achievement of which is our glory and
boast"
1t is hardly to be expected that we should
make many criticisms upon the theme or exc
culon. Had we possessed the ability and gone
with that intention, we must have abandoned
our object. For such is the originality of ge-
MUS, power of Imagination, and skill and ease
of execution, that the eye, even of the critic,
would, we think, be dazzled with the splendor
of the production, his mind captivated with its
beauties, his judgment awed by its supremacy,
and all discrimination lost in general admira-
ton" There is diliused over the whole of it,
living ease, science, magic power and fas-
cination, that constran US TO gaze with wonder
and admiration. But as the artist intends ia
king trip TO Boston with it, in a few days, for
the purpose of exhibition, you will probably
hear from it again by other and ADLER pens. 1t
is possible that il may also be exhibited in 9th
er places than Boston, before il shall be finally
deposited in the National Gallery.
Two things, in connection with this subject,
seem worthy of observation. One is the pre-
vaiIing disposition among the painters Of our
age, TO select historical and moral subjects for
their pictures. This must have happy reflex
influence upon themselves, ard at the same
time render the fine arts more instructive and
useful.
The increasing general attention to the cul-
tivation and study of the fine arts, in all theiI
forms and variety, is also worthy Of common.
daton. Their happy tendency 10 improve the
taste; to elevate the desires of men above The
materials; TO fill the soul with aspirations fol
things refined, lovely and excellent; to free u:
from Indifference and formality, by opening tn,
fountains of thought and feeling, sentiment anC
expression-things that distinguish US from tn,
brutes that perish, constitute the chief cords o

and enable the orator to influence the under
