Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1846-10-01

She was a miserable wfe!-a heart-broken
and bowed down woman. Alone she sat, with
heaped up work-baskct beside her, in one Of
those wretched dwellings which the poor are
permitted to occupy in fear and agony, lest after
months of toll and privation, they should not be
able to carry to the sumptuous palace of the
landlord, the sum, so paltry to him, demanded o
them so imperiousIy, for the privilege Of cover
ing under the roof which he would not deem
sufficient shelter tor his animals She was pale
and sad, and worn; her spirit was dark with the
pail OF its young hopes and high aspirations, and
her heart was heavy with the beautiful creations
which it had formed and worshiped, and which
disappointment had broken down, and heapcd
lin crushing ruin on their living altar She was
poor and wretched, and all who looked on hen
pitied her. Pity is sweet when she stitch down
beside the sufferer, saying, Lean on my bosom
sister-dear sister But when she stands anc
looks down upon us, though there be tears with
in her eyelids and says Poor outcast, will
aid thee, then, even her soft hand lies like fire
upon the forehead. Jane Wood was piticd, and
passed BY; for she was meanly dressed, and her
husband was common drunkdrd!
Yes, it spossible! Arthur Wood, the high.
souled the sensitive, the intellectual, the loving
and beloved had become victim to cards and
alcohol. He had gambled away his property
he had drowned bis soul in intoxicating liquors
he was herding with the basest, seeking employ

man, she loved him dearly still And christian
people said;
We would be generous to Mrs. Wood, bu,
it is of no use for whatever she obtains she
lavishes upon her brutal husband. She has nc
children, and might enjoy good situation a:
nurse or governess still she will toll and suffer
and pay rent, that he may have a shelter, tC
which he resorts only to consume her earnings
and repay her cares with opprobous language
