a DOMESTIC SKETCH.
By MRS. SIGOURNEY.

BIZ Mrs. SlGOURNE1.
It is the duty of mothers to sustain the
reverses Of fortune. Frequent and sudden
as they have been TO our own country, it
is important that young females should pos
obtain livelihood. in case they should be
reduced to the necessity Of supporting them
selves. When families ale unexpectedly
reduced from afflnence to poverty. how pitt
fully contemplate it is to see the mother
Responding or helpless, and permitting her
daughters TO embarrass those whom it is
their duty to assist and cheer.
"lhave lost my hole forlune," said mer-
chant, as he returned one evening to his
home 1--WE can no longer keep our carriage.
We must leave this large house. The chill
dren can no longer 60 TO expensive schools
Yesterday a was rich man; to-day there is
nothing can call my own.''
"Dearhusband," said the wife, "we are still
rich in each other and our children. Money
may pass away, but God has given us bet
Ter treasure in those active hands and loving
hearts,"
"Dear father" said the children, edo no,
look SO sober. We will help you to get a
]iving''
"What can you do, poor ,hings?'' said
he.
"You shall see, you shall see" answer
ed several cheerful voices. !, is pity if
we have been to school for nothing
How can the father of eigh, children be
poor. We shall work and make you rich
again."
"Ishall help" said the youngest girl, hard
ay four years old. IL will not have any
new things bought, and shall sell my great
doll'
The heart of the husband and father,
which had sunk within his bosom like a
stone, was lifted up. The sweet enlhus-
asm of the scene cheered him, and his night
ly prayer was like a song of praise
They left this stately house. The ser
wants were dismissed. Pictures and plate,
rich carpet and furniture were sold, and she
who had been so long the mistress of the
mansion, shed no tear, "Pay every debt"
said she, ''let no one suffer through US, and
we may yet be happy"
He rented neat cottage and small piece
of ground few miles from the city. With
the aid of his sons he cultivated vegetables
for the market. He viewed with delight
and establishment the economy of his wife,
nurtured as she had been, in wealth, and the
efficacy which his daughters soon acquired
under her train.
The eldest one assisted her in the work
of the household, and also instructed the
younger children. Besides, they executed
various works, which they had learned as
