she was INDECENT, and that il matters no
now submissive one may be to this destiny
whether his predominatng characlerisli,
be independence or not, or what his nature
II reduced from afiiIence, or comfortable
circumstances To poverty, his heart will fes.
ter beneath the sting Of that fate. Ii is so
The senumentalist may say what he will to
the contrary-the world has made it So
The unfortunate mendicaut has been treated
with scom and ridicule, by the very world
that courted him while he lived in opuence,
he has felt the sang of that reproach, and
his poverty became dishonor.
Alter proceeding few PAGES down this
fashionable mart, she saw furnishing store
IN the which she thought to try her fortune.
AS she turned to enter the door er heart
failed her. The room was thronged with
people and every one seemed busy. No
one noticed her-would it always be so?---
She trembed for the consequences, and
turned to walk further down the street,
An, she thought of her starving mother,
and that thought! it nerved her to her haz-
ardous undertaking. She stepped within
the thresh-hold, but hestated again. for to
whom of all that throng should She address
herself? Yet the Rubicon was passed, and
she must perform her task. Accordingly,
she advanced towards the counter, and look
ed anxlously to the persons engaged behiHl
it. Presently one Of the clerks came down
to her and asked:
"What can | show you to-day Mlss?'
81 don't wish to purchase" she answer
ed tlmldly, "but am seeking employment"
"Oh. All! yes, returned the clerk STEP
ping back pace, "our situations are all
filled at present"
"HaVe you nothing at all that | could
do?" she asked while the throbbngs of her
heart seemed to choke her
"Nowe have unemployment for any one,"
he answered sternly tuning away.
Almost broken-hearted She dropped her
eyes to the floor and left, half desponding
of getting any employment at all. She
stopped in at the next store, and as before
made known her business.
81 want some collars and cravats made"
returned red-faced corpulent man in
rough domlneering tone, "did you ever
work on the like Mss?"
"Nosir, have never yet done such sew
ing but"
"Monstrous! and you would palm your.
self Oft for q seanstrcss without serving
time at the busness!' exclaimed the man
most unfeelingly.
''No sir | would be honest--I have never
had occasion to seek employment ill now."
"Wel can't employ any one who has
no knowledge of the business; that's all, :"
he returned walking away.
"But sir Pm sure can----' Here she |
was overcome with grief aud disappont-
ment, and again turned away, with her lit |
tie hope totally crushed. When she enter
ed the street she knew not which way to
turn. Wherever she turned her face, stern
seemed to stare upon her. She
saw no hope-but must her mother staryc?
No; another resort presented itself to her
mind, she would go to the ---- Office,
Ind perhaps get situation as domestic in
some family, The hope seemed almost
'ague, yet she must try it. Leaving -
treet she turned her steps towards -;
'ut had not proceeded far, when hand was
;ently laid upon her shoulder, and she heard
he kind and hope--inspiring words:
"My little friend!'
She looked around instantly and bebeld
pair Of eyes bent upon her, from which an
ccan OF sympathy and beneyolence seemed
o guSh.
"What friend have l the happiness of
eeing?" she hastily inquired, as She tried
0 place the person before her.
"Haye you forgotten the gentleman you ,
let with yesterday? | declare" he contin- :
ed lokingly, "you played me pretty trick,
leaving my house SO abruptly" +
81? she asked in astonishment. :
"You precisely, my little beauty I sup !,
ose had no sooner left, to hurry my sery. :
nts with the carriage than you played me !
ne slip extremely coy-verily," he re- :
armed with somewhat Of hilarity. ;
"True remember you sir, and beg par .
on for any Misconduct l may have been !
uilty Of" :
go thousand pardons my pretty Miss !;
re yours, but heard moment ago, that i
gu were seeking employment" /
Eyes sir, must be engaged in something q
: let my poor mother and myself both i
arve," she returned with some degree Of :
pose.
"Noble generous girl" exclaimed Morton /

,fore this. 'and you have been uusuccess-
/ so far?" .
unfortunately Ihave." .
"This is selfish unteeling World my
ear, and one in which the unfortunate 7
