CADIz OHIO, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 70. 1851.

"To sew? Mrs. Leroy, would YOU worl
your eyes out for the paltry sum Of eight O
ten cents per day? There are Thousands
new in the same occupation dragging out ;
miserable existence--half starved and hal
toiled to death! No Mrs. Leroy, will ney
er see you or your daughter thus"
"But we must do something"
"Leave that to me--leaye it to me. !
will see that you are comfortable if not hap
py. For the present / will leave you thi,
basket--iti is not much, but l hope you will
accept it"
"But --" interrupted Mrs. Leroy.
al will see you again this evening" or
to-morrow--good morning and believe me
your friend"
Thus cheeringly and kindly speaking the
good lady opened the door and left Mrs.
Leroy overcome with gratitude.
A word now to the reader, before we
close this chapter, in regard to Miss Rich
ards. She was one of the few reader, in
whom we see "less of earth than heaven,
being kind and gentle in disposition and be-
benevolent and beautiful in features. She
was in years, about twenty five, of Medium
stature, and rather slender Wherever she
knew of human being in want oG sickness,
her hand and voice were there to assist and
comfort them; thus she was known and re-
spected, almost throughout the city. Be
sides being thus beloved by all the lower
classes, she was admired and courted by
the higher, for she was immensely wealthy.
But there were none who appeared to re-
celve so much favor iu her eyes as Mr.. Will
liam Morton, whom she was led to believe,
was perfect philanthropist, and pious man.
And to tell you the truth she loved him,
while he, old bachelor as he was--near
fifty years of age--appeared to take un-
bounded delight in her society, but wheth
er it was prompted by an affection for her.
self, or love for her wealth; as a faithful
recorder, we must not dare to surmise:
suffice it to say, that they had even went
SO far already, us to be engaged in we'd
lock. Thus stood matters between the true
and the false philanthropists. ..-..

In looking over the Editorial matter of

joiced, thinking we were going to hear some

we love and prise the most of all others
The Division of Lane sster we know il once
existed at that place, for our. first introduc
tion to the order was there, but IL was not
named, does the Lancaster Division exist. or
is it among the things that were! we would
respectfully and affectionate'y ask where are
Brothers Emmons, Wiley. Beldon, and a
host of other champions Of the Temperance
cause, with whom we once took (as We
might sny) sweet counsel together in the
Division room, have they let the Lancaster
Division die! we thought that such men
wonld let nothing good die among thsm, es-
pecally the order of the Sons Of Temper
ance. We were glad 10 hear of the prosper
ity Of the other three societies named for
we believe they are calculated to do good
in their way and place, but some how we
do not feel willing to give up Lancaster Di-
vision No. 80 Sons of Temperance yet, for
we consider that Lancaster Division the
mother of Hanging Rock Division to which
we belong. and no affectionatc daughter will
evcvhcar of the death of dutiful mother
