ing himself, he bowed tothe court, and was
conducted back to prison. q, ataw
Mrs. Morley passed most Of her lime with
her husband, but how to defrav the expcn-
SEES OF her living, she knew not; almost cv-
cry article of jewelry had been disposed of
to obtain the necessares of life. At last she
sought for employment. 1t was difficult to
find such as would suit her. She made sew
eral fancy articles and offered them for sale
ar the stores; in vain were her efforts to dis
pose of them that way, as the keep
ers assured her that the Ladies' Fairs, de-
stroyed all their sales inarticles of that kind.
A lady she met, suggested TO her that per
haps II she should offer them TO some OF the
ladies who were getting up tables for the
Fair they might dispose of them for her,
and gave her adirection toMrs. Milton, who
was getting her stock ready for one. Ac-
cordingly Mrs. Morley waited on that lady,
who admired the articles much, but said
They seldom purchased anything of The
kind. and when they did, it was at such re-
duced prices that they would not be worth
Offering
Duling the interview, Mr.. Milton came
into the room, and hearing instrumentation,
offered 10 buy them, for his wife's table, at
their full value.
'Affix your price, madam said he, and
inform me in what name shall draw the
bill out
When the lady gave the name Of Morley,
Mrs. Milton started from her seat, and in
an abrupt manner asked her:
III it was not her who had been riding
down the street with Mr.. Jones?'
ID 1T was, madam, was the reply ofthe Of
Tended lady; when | went TO visit an i'm
prisoned husband
Mr. Milton made out the bill. and in pay
ing, added:
Mr. Morley has been an old friend. and
he would take an early opportunity OF see
ing him.
After politely handing her to the door, be
returned, and inquired of his wife what was
the meaning of her question: when she re-
lated the conversation that took place at
Mrs Smiths.
Mr. Milton called her attention again to
the want of reflection.
why do you indulge in scandal, or why
listen to it, without pausing to reflect on the
consequences? The injury to myself had
been great, had it not been for our mutual
confidence; and see the effect oft in regard
10 Mrs. Morley-her feelings have been
wounded, and reputation endangered, by
suspicious that might have initiated against
her, SO far as to prevent her disposing OF
her work, by which she is to get her daily
bread and all this arises from the mere idle
talk of the moment. Now after you have
got over the business of this Far | hope
YOU will have done with them. 1t interfcres
with other peoples living, and our own SO
cial duties. / must tomorrow see about
getting Morley out of Jail, for / cannot I'M
derstand how taking mans liberty away
from him, and locking him up from his fam
lily, will pay any creditor his debts.
Mr. Milton never swerved from his inten-
ton. He made Mrangen ents for thep lyment
of Mr.. Morley debts; he was released from
prison, and re established in business by his
interest with the creditors and his friends
Thus, by well directed charities. we may
cheer the heart, and relieve the miserics Of
others. But we should recolect, that in
the mode it is administered, is exhibited one
of the chief merits of benevolencc. AS Blair
beautifully says:-'There are situations not
a few in human life where the encouraging
reception, the condescending behaviour, and
the look of sympathy, bring greater relief
to the heart, than the most bountiful gift.
While on the other side, when the hand of
liberality is extended to beStow, the want
of gentleness is sufficient to Illustrate the in
tention of the benefit. Wesour those whom
we mean to obli.e, and by comforting favors
ries."
