her she might take the bureau that night If she
wished, and pay US for i. when she found it
convenient.
81 am greatly obliged TO you for your kind
ness; but would rather that you should keep it
until it is paid for"
We urged her to take it, but she refused,
saying" will see what can do, and call in
day or two and see you" and bidding US good
evening she left US.
There is something very mysterious about
this woman, thought we Ii may be that she is
poor, and perhaps in very destitute crcumstan-
ces But she shows an excellent heart, and
the warmest attachment 10 a deceased mother.
Her education must have been good, and she
has evidently seen better days. And we
thought The next time she called upon US, We
would ascertain something more of her charac-
Ter and circumslances---perhaps her name--
which we Gel, deeply anxious 10 learn.
In day or two the young woman called
upon us again, and with tears in her eyes re.
marked---"I dom. know wha, you will think of
me, but all the money have in the world Is
FIVE dollars: this have brought you towards
the bureau you were SO kind as 10 purchase for
me-" So saying she placed The money before
us in silver.
| shall mot take The money at present." we
remarked 81 can do without il, You may
take the bureau If you van, it /; and when you
are able al some future time, you may pay NE
for it,
She expressed grea, deal of gratitude. and
said, 81 would rather you should take what |
have" and nothing that we could say would
induce her to take the money again.

we remarked as we saw the tears in her eyes.
mo. much, sir, l must confess tha. have
not always been as poor | am at present ;
for have seen better days. When my pa
rents were living, never knew what it was TO
wan, for any thing now cannot say So"
How long have your parents been dead :"
"Abou, six years since my farher died and
i, was four years ago las, Saturday when my
mother was buried"
At mention of her mothers name the tears
came fast 10 her eyes-.a tender chord was
touched we saw 1t and made no more inqui,
ries---w hen she took her leave.
Ii was nearly six weeks before we saw the
young lady again. She then called upon u.
with the remainder of the money that we hat
paid for the bureau.
We protested against receiving i, a, ,ha
time, thinking j, nigh, 5ave been inconvenien
for her TO pay il but size insisted that W,
should have it, sayjng---'' am under great OBJ
legations to you for your kindness. Had it no
been for you should no. have the bureau-'h'
only relic Of my mother for il was then impos
sible for me 20 raise the amount you so gener
ously paid shall never forget your kindness.
'tDo YOU wish 10 lake The bureau away!"
have spoken 10 cartman, who will cal
t,ere in shor, lime aud have it removed ou, @
the way for suppose you will be glad to &c
rid of it,"
"Nol a, all. | am pleased that was ins,ru
mental Of a irllc service to you, and if ever yo
need assistance, | shall always be ready TO rem
der H."
81 thank you, sir, with all my heart"
AT this momen, the man came for the bu
reau, and bidding good evening, the youn
lady left our room.
