it was such as Hogarth has described in some Of
his matchless pictures. Cards and extrava-
gance soon dissipated her own money; and he
whose protection she had sought became weari-
some of her expensive whims.
A short time before her interview with Martha,
her brother had discovered her perishing from
hunger illness. and misery, in low and
.wretched dwelling--into such an extreme of
misery had her vice plunged her. He would
have taken the wanderer to his own home, for
he perceived the end was at hand; but she SO
ardently begged to be alone, that be permitted
her to choose the humble refuge in which
Martha found her. She entreated that she
might effect q reconciliation between her
brother and his wife ere she died but to this
proposition he would not listen 6 He thought
said she to Martha, 6 that you should have
trustede him better"
s'And SO should" said the weeping Martha,
tenderly wiping the dying girls brow, damp
with the exertion of her narrative.
Martha Wilson had many subsequent inter
views with her fallen sister, and it was at the
very last that, hastily summoned to the death
scene, husband and wife met again. 1t was by
the side of that death-bed that they felt how
slight had been their cause of dissensions and
the only feeling which prevented reconcilia-
tion--pride- that awful hour Of human suf-
fering and expiation was crushed in the dust
Edith Wilson died calmly and even happily,
trusting that the tears with which, like the sin
/ ner Of old times, she had washed her Savior's
feet, might in his eye wash away her many sins,
and trusting, with childlike devotion, that
| Faith in His mercy would save her.

"a gtprg Of tbe Jsqatns gaoeos.

One of the Oldest inhabitants of Northern
catamount:
9 Sc Young man. said he, when I first visited
this town, there was only three families living
in it. You who now live at ease can never know
the hardships and perilous scenes through which
the early settlers passed Come with me- he
continued, g and will show you the spot on
which the first hut ever erected in this town was
located
I followed silently, until the old man reached
the bottom Of the west side of Paris Hill.
There" said he, g on this spot was erected
the hut. l shall never forget the first time |
visited it, and the story was told"
"What was it 20 I asked.
'sI will tell you. When the first settler
moved here, his nearest neighbor lived twenty
miles distant, in the present town of Rumford,
and the only road between the two neighbors
was path that he had cut through the woods
himself, so that in case of want or sickness he
might get assistance. One spring, think it
was the third season after he had settled here,
he was obliged to go to Rumford for provisions.
He arose early one morning, and started for his
nearest neighbor. People of the present day
would think ithard to make a journey of twenty
miles for bag of potatoes, and on foot too, but
such was the erHnnd Of the first settler. He
arrived before noon, and was successful in get
ting his potatoes, got some refreshment, anu
started for home. But it was not easy to travel
with o load of potatoes; and, finally. at sun
down, he threw off his load, and resolved to
make shelter and spend the night. / have
been taken with him to the exact locality Of it |;
it was situated just on the other side of the
stream, on which are mills, in the village of
Pinhook, in Woodstock.
"He built q shelter, struck fire, and took
out of his sack piece of meat to roast All
young man. continued the narrator, ssyou lit
| tie know with what relish man eats his food in
| the wood; but, as l was saying, he commenced
roasting his meat, when he was startled by cry
SO shrll that he knew at once that it could come
from nothing else than acatamount Twill now
relate it to you as near as can in the language
| of the old settler himself.
Il listened every moment, said he, " and it
was repeated even louder, and it seemed nearer
than before. My first thought was for my own
safety. But what was to do? It was at least
4 ten miles from home, and there was not single
human being nearer than that to me. / next
| thought of self defense, but had nothing to
defend myself with. In moment concluded to
start for home, for knew the nature Of the cata-
mount too we'll to think should stand the least
chance of escape if l remained in the camp. I
knew, too, that he would ransaek my camp, and
hoped the meat which / left behind might
satisfy his appetite. SO that he might not follow
me after eating it.
