sign had hung out for several months past as
attorney at Law" and yet in all this time
the first client of the young lawyer was the
poor Hetty.
The young girl explained her errand: and
the lawyer, with friend as witness, counted
out in the presence of IIctty no less than
thirty thousand dollars in gold, silver and
copper, all taken out from under the loose
board in the floor.
Then it was that the astonishcd young law
yer saw how beautifully IIetty might be if
she were polished up into lady.
At young I.athrop's insigation, after IIct-
ty's grandmother was properly buried and
her money duly invested, Hetty entered
boarding school and worked at all sorts of
lessons for two years, coming out of the
school at eighteen more learned and accom-
plishcd than most of those who had been at
school all their lives and whose wits had not
been sharpcncd by poverty and oppression.
'You are wonder, marvel, IIetty !"
said Roy, as Hctty had just risen from the
piano, after singing with taste and feeling
one of the popular songs Of the day-"When
[ contrast the abjcct destitution of all moral
as well as the physical comfort or culture, of
your former life with the grace and case with
which you have acquired and perform all the
elegant manGuvrcs incumbent upon your
present position, cannot feel sufficiently
astonished..
Il have Mrs. Jcllson to thank for all that
am. She first taught the rude, lgnarant
little girl to aspire to worth and knowledge"
That good little housckecper's prediction
was verified to the letter. TIE rag-picker's
daughter as the wife of Roy Burt Lathrop, is
now at the topof upper tens slippery ladder.
But unlike many of her shining contemporaries
she makes charity to the poor higher duty
than dress and fashionable parade. Her hus-
band, blessed with happy home and judi.
Sious wife, is still rising in his profession and
literally coins money, already possessing

A New GuASo DEposlrE DISCOVERED By
AMERICANS. Ss.-Adviccs from st. Thomas by
the last West India mail give some particu-
lars Of the guano discovery lately made in
that vicinity at spot called Avcs, or Bird
Islands, stated to belong to the Dutch gov
ernment.-The deposit was found by the
master of an American ship; called the Ken
tucky, and the quantity is said to be equal to
100000 or 100000 tons, while its quality
approaches that Of the Chncha Islands.
Two American vessels the Kentucky and
the Comery, were already taking cargocs from
it, and they are said to have landed so men
to occupy the place. and drive off intrudcrs
with two pieces of cannon. If the estimates
of quantity and quality should be realized, the
value ef the island will be very great, but the
locality scarcely warrants an expectation Of
the deposits being nearly equal to the PERT
vian. AYES Island is one of the lecward
group of the West Indies, and lies between
the 5th add 10th degrees of north latitude,
and 63d and 65th degrees west longitude.
London Times.
The Island here referred to lies at St Thom-
as, towards Barbados, and has been ire.
quentcd more or less many years past by
birds egg hunters. The island forms a sort
of basin, with a rock bound rim toward the
sea, and is frequented daily during certain
seasons of the year by myriads Of eabirds
to hay their eggs. The egg hunters from the
ncighboring islands go there with smal sloops
and upon their arrival proceed to break all
the eggs that they find, and then retire. On
the following day they return, and load their
vessels with eggs that have been laid over
night. In the course of thirty hours they
will sometimes take up between one hundred
and fifty and two hundred thousand eggs.
The reason they break the eggs lying on the
ground when they arrive, is to be sure they
carry away none but fresh ones.
The quantity of lime in the shells of the
eggs thus broken is supposed to have added
to the value of the birds dung which has
been deposited there for centuries. The ba-
sin where these deposits are found has only
about the area of an acre, and will soon be
exhausted of its manure. but, as an egg farm
it is impossible to say when it will be any
less productive than now.
