WESTWARD HO!

One of the most interesting sights might
have been witnessed yesterday morning at
the ralroad depot. There arrived on the
Lake shore train two passenger cars OF
little children between the age OF five and
ten years, They numbered about eighty,
and were brought from the destitute aud
miserable precincts of New York, like the
Five Points. and had been rescued from
beggery and ife of penury and crime
through the efforts of kind and charitable
people who had gathered them up, clothed
and where nov sending them to the great
West, where plenty of bread and coUforta-
BILE homes will be found for them.
Most of them were orphans, or children OF
people SO destitute as to be unable 10 pro-

the care of gentleman aud three kind.

score boys aud girls is a peasant scene;
but the humanity which has secured from

and useful lives, excites cur Unqualified ad-

"Oh, Anne-no! Don't say that!" and

piratlons and regrets, than he to whom she
was joined by the closest Of ties.
Ralph Miner possessed another peculiari-
ty Of mind; II a trait quite common to
humanity, can be termed peculiar. This
was pronencss to undervalue anything
that he possessed With tkis was combin.
ed, as might be expected, an inveterate dis.
Ike to praisng anything, or person in his

an ill-ftting dress; did she hal pen to al

did she neglect button, or pair Of stock
ings, he thought it duty to remind her
Of her short comings; but the efforts she
made 10 crafty him, whether in matters
of taste, or economy, were passed over
without word of comment.
"Oh, if it were not so much easier for
him to blame, than praise-to sec faults
thar virtues!" Edith often exclaimed in
Anguish of heart. A woman more entire
" intellectual might have risen above this,
and ceased to care Ter it, tn 'ugh at the
expense of ,he lovelest attributes Of wo-
manhood. One of less sensibility and fine
ness Of organization might not have felt

all her efforts, she still failed to satisfy
her husband, that he was continually COM
pairing her in his own mind with others,
to her disparagenent, was most cruel
trial to her loving nature; trial that, con-
tinued through long years, was stealing
her bloom, and even sapping the fountain
OF life.
And yet Ralph Miner seldom spoke
harshIy to his wife, or thwarted her wishes
in any thing relating to the externals Of
life. He provided her pleasant home,
illed with comforts, If not with luxuries.
A woman who had been rightly brought
up, he thought. would ask no more; and if
anything in Eiiih's words, or manner, ever

her husband, whose practice it is to re-
turn home at eight O'Clock, P. NJ, precise

but Edith likes to think that he 10 enjoy

A bachelor friend has been in for call
but finding her husband absent, remained
only a few moments; and Edith is glad OF
it, though he is one of the few who know
we'll what rare gifts Of thought and feeling
are hidden beneath her calm exterior, one
of whose congenialty of mind, she is well
aware. II is for this very reason that she
avoids him; TO- does she not pray every

"Have you read the report OF Thackeray's

Edith inquiries, as her husband helps him

the plate toward her without speaking.
