from a sentiment of false generosity

dollars In the second place, the whole
amount was too much money to be Civ
en- to a girl the possession of such Il
sum would fill Nancy with vanity per-
haps plant a certain independence in her
character which might be disagreeable.
These unhappy results / could prevent
by keeping the letter a secret. In the
third placc-and l really do not think
that this last consideration exerted SO
large an influence upon my mind as those
just mentioned with my share of the
property, l should be able to enter into
the speculation before alluded to. Sat
isfied, then, that was right, burnt my
fathers letter.
To divide the property, thought 1t
necessary to sell the house, and told them
so. They begged me to postpone the
sale. Nancy cried bitterly, and Tom
said he could not give up the place where
he had been born. and where he had liv-
ed SO long, until it was absolutely neces-
ary. But it was matter of business,
and was inexorable They gave in at
last. Sister Nancy went into the coun.
try while the new owner razed the house.
but Tom remained in town, as sullcn as
a boar lie hardly spoke to me for
weeks-to me, who was doing every thing
| could for his advantage
One evening, after tea, day or two
subsequent to the division of the estate,
Tom called Nancy to lin, and hand
ing her package of documents, said
There, Nancy, dear take these certif-
Gates of stock for five thousand dollars
or thereabouts, which brother Joshua
handed me to-day, for my share of the
estate. 1 have had them all transferred
to you and this amount with yours will,

You know get a good salary, md have
plenty of money for all my wants; and
I feel so happy in doing this, that you
ought to be ashamed of yourself to make
the slightest motion of refusing beside,
I really think, from hint or two of fa-
theirs, that be in some sort expected me
to do this
So Nancy sat down, laughing through
her tears, saying Bless you, Tom; you
were always 50 good and kind I'll do
any thing you wish, and keep this mon.

They did not notice me all this time,
but appeared perfectly happy with each
other. Quito a stranger to the family,

Office for week before, and was proba-

that night, and in my dreams my father
visited me, and beat over me with sor-

recovered the tone of my mind, and was
as well in body and spirits as my dys-
pepsia ever allowed me to be at that pc

This last remark of the polite but re

'inquisitor" fell back moment TO take
breath and change his tactics. The half
suppressed smile upon tile faces of the
other passengers soon reused the Yankee
to still further exertions, and he began

Learning the language is long and diff
6cult task We should be very happy
in Marsovan, did we not know that the
Protcstants of Kaisery we're impatient
and even suffering for help. This week,
two men came from that place in great
distress The Armenians are trying to
drive them back to their church. One of
them, a 6nelooking man about twenty-five
years of age, e,was severely whipped, about
three weeks ago. for reading and con
versing about the Bible His wife is at
his fathers house, and his father is an
enemy of the truth. The poor man told
the story Of his wrongs with deep emo
tions, and then suid he dHrst not 60
back unless I would 60 with him. When
informed that ] could not 60 under eight
or nine months, he asked, in despair,
/" what shall I do now ?" His entreaty as
well as that Of the other man, was very
earnest that should hasten right on to
Kaisery. You will not doubt tha: am
anxious to do so, but prudence seems
to require that remain here for the
present.
Our last mail from Constantinople
brings the startling news that war with

there have been rumors Of war for long

lean missions cannot be predicted. We
rejoice that "God rcignetk." " The
wrath Of nan shall praise Him" Will
not all, who look for the appearing OF
our Lord, pray most earnestly, that he

streets, without even a cover to the
cart, or anything covered over the cof
fins. Exposed to the hot sun, they
are taken long distance through our
principal streets to the cemeteries.
The Picayune gives the following
"The sun shines brightly, but there is
an air of sadness on the streets.
Wherever the eye turns it rests on a
funeral procession. In some cases the
hearses have white plumes above, in
dicative of the departure of the young;
others have black plumes and long
trains Of carriages following after. But
these are the exceptions. The Cor
poration interments have no such con-
ccfnitants. A coarse cart, rough
board coffin, blackened with coal tar,
and mule driven into an unwilling
trot by an irreverent driver-theso are
the indications of the Corporation bur-
ial.
Rattle his bones over the stones
Hes only n pauper whom nobody owns"
saith grave yet jolly Old song, and
the driver of the corporation cart sings
it right merrily. When he arrives at
the grave yard his load of cofiins is
emptied out, and a mockery of an in
terment gives six inches of earth as a
covering between the coffin lid and the
open air. The work is then done, as
far as man, the living, is concerned,
unless pestilential gasses from the half
buried dead create a plague which will
shorten the road of " the quick" to the
feast of worms-aye the worms; their
triumph commences when the sexton's
is ended. " The worms they crawl in,
and the worms they crawl out" where
once were eyes which "spokc love to
eyes which spakc again y and they
feast on lips, cheeks, and bosoms, which
were once considered beautiful What
a change Let him who runneth read."

Yellow Fever Scenes in New

1t is impossible to conceive the suf-
fering condition of many of the iLhab-
itants Of New Orleans now while death,
in the shape of the grim, yellow mon
tser, stalks abroad, counting his victims
by the hundreds each day. The scenes
that are witnessed at the bed side, in
the street, at the grave, are often hor-
ror-striking. The city is gloomed. 1t
is all, and often more than the well
can do,tO take care of the sick and the
dying. A correspondent of the N. Y.
Tribune, under date of the 18th inst,
thus writes ofscenes at the Hospitals;-
The scenes | witnessed cannot be
described so as to give you any idea of
the reality. In one room visited there
were about forty females. They are
placed in cots on either side of the
room, with just room enough between
the cots for the attendants to give the
poor sufferers their medicines. On one
cot was mother who had just died of
the black vomit in the next cot the
daughter was not only suffering with
the fever, but what must she have suf-
fered in her mind on seeing the lifeless
body of her mother On another cot
waa young woman from Tennessee
(the only American in the Hospital. }
She had just been received, and was
in the first stage of the disease. On
one side of her was a woman raving
mad, with the black vomit, and lashed
down to her cot. On the other side
was the mother who had just died. In
another part of the room were two sis
ters one was doing well, the other
had the black vomit. On another cot
were three children, whose parents
had already died.
In the room below were about forty
men in the various stages of the dis
case. There were some three or four
tiers of cots in this room. Many of the
sufferers had the black vomit, others
were raving and lashed down to their
cots. Some were groaning, others
cursing, and few we're quiet. How
any of the patients can ever get well,
surrounded as they are with the dead
and dying, and obliged to see every
dead body as it is removed is truly
surprising. No doubt many die through
fright, and others, no matter how calm
they may be, must loss all hope and
give up in despair. AS soon as life i,
out of the body, they are put into q
rough box made by the prisoners ol
the workhousc. This box is painteo
black with ldmpbiack. The Corpora
ton cart backs up to the hospital, thu
boxes or collins are taken into them
say from three to four at load-anC
they are thus taken through ou
