not more than Is years Of age, saw and loved-
They both wore powder proiuscy-therc was

color Owing to our excellent poor laws and
the excellent state Of morals Of our poor, the ei
feet Of those excellent poor laws, these two mi
nors committed the great mstake-marriare-
and Ann wilkins ms waa, ana Ann Runt as is
10 Use the PdddngtOn yaioiS, was at little more
than the age of n mother. Start mott This
Is al uneXaggerUted fact The beautiful Cinderi
la, ere She was out OF her infancy, was fast sink
ing down into the sickly and the dowdy, dirty
mother of low life. Then came the parish med
ical attendance, and the begrudged relief and the
obtained giu when food itself was unattainabie :;
the lowering look the heavy curse, and the heay-
Ter blow OF the boy husband. His time was out
and ms employment prccarous. What God had
intended Ann to be, is impety 20 presume, but
what she waS-what man had made hor--eyen
the evil Que himself must have felt pity to behold
This was the dark, the dangerous part Of her life
She looked at her waiiiug infmt-she saw it press
the cnfecbled, the haccid the milklcss bosom, and
she wished il dead How she lived through
these years Of rags and wretehedness she never
could tell; She was not yet -, when her misery
seemed to have reached its climax Her husband
tie man was dying, two parishes each Of which
was disputing who should not be encumbered
with lis bones, refused relief. Things were in

saw shops overloaded with the delicate yiands-her
child cried for them--that cry irrtated her, she
was herself very, very hungry. Yc who have
never hungered, be mercilul in your cundemna-
tlon. On that day, at that moment, her henri har.
deued; she, who had, through all her misery, ne
yer yet been selfish, now entered into her OWE
soul She said to herself Yes, lie viii die" and
she was glad; and were quit too ofthis wlm-
