1t WAS not very prudent in you, my dear
Miss Osborne, to leave Mrs. Morclands house
in your condition. Why did you do so p

"Shc did not surely turn you out" said the
good doctor, Indignantly, after imposing on
you tasks beyond your strength To perform ;
for your illness is only the consequence of over
excrtion. But why" he added, "did you
go to Mrs. Morelsnd's, or rather why did you
remain there after her unworthy conducty"
Helen did not answer, but her mother re-
Piled" Our poverty. Dir. Cleveland, did not
permit us to refuse the poor pittcncc Mrs More

strangers here, and . lady, for whom my
daughter had executed some fine work, re-
commended her to Mrs. Morcland, as a gov.
erncss for her children, a situation for which
her education had amply qualified her"
F" And Mrs. Morcland with all her boasted
philanthropy, took advantage of her necessi
ties to engage her nt price for which she
could not have procured meninl servant, and
afterwards to impose on her tasks sufficient to
have destroyed n constitution far more -obust
than she can boast. She is n hard.hcnrtcd,

"Nono In this country. We are natives Of
England, and have been in America only a
short time, when the banking institution in
which Mr.. Osborne had deposited our little
fortune failed, and We were reduced to great
distress. My husbands death, which took
place soon after, rendered us still more des,i.

enabled to preserve my family from actual
want"
"And have you never written toyour friends
in Englandf"
Yes, sir, but suppose they have not re-.

I am certain, that did he know my situation,

snstching his hat, the good old man hurried
down the street with an alacrity surprising ia
those who knew his age, but were not aware
of the benevolent impulse which quitkened
his footsteps. In half an hour he returned,
accompanied by Mr., Stanley, who was indec
