The stranger was a fair, handsome giTl, OF
about seventeen years neatly but eoaTsely
dressed, with Shoes not only well worn bui
heavy, and une nit d as much for her sex as for
The season. The poor girl, in honest simPliei-
", and with an esrnestness which DESPAIR
alone can impsrt, related her story, nninter-
rupted by a single observation from her CON-
D tnion, but often accompanied by the tea 8 Of
both. We have not space for it at length, but
We will give it, changing its order, just enough
TO enable US to state it briefly.
She said she was born in Boston she had
no bro her or sister now ; she remembered that
she had a sister, the oldest whose name was
LizEe, thai sister years ago against her
fathers will had married, and with her bus
band having been banished from Der fathers
sight, had gone of and had not been heard OF
since-no doubt dead. At the time OF her SIS
ter's marriage her parents were wealthy. Inc
pride which drove away Lizzie had brought
/ silent regret. and after awhile came melancholy
| complainings b. the mothers signing for the
embrace of Der frst-boTn. These soon led TO
anger and elimination at home, and discipa-
ton BY the father abroad Losses came upon
hem, and at last, gathering the few remaining
goods they left the proud city Of their birth,
and settled five years ago upon the land pqr-
chased Of the Goyernn' Mt in Wisconsin her

herself, one by one dropped and died and

long exiled daughter joined her boys IL a
happier cline. None we're now left but the
father and this poor girl. He too was huu6ied
and stricken By the SLOW but certain disease
which lights np the cheek and fees the eye
with the brilliancy Of health, even when It's
victim is on the confines Of eternity.
He would sit and tell to his surviving child
the acts OF winning love and sacrificing devo-
ton which had made bis Lizzie the very object
Of his life. He would talk Of Der sweet smiles
and happy disposition, until memory would
lead him 10 the hour when be bid her to depart
: and not let him see Der face gain. His decline
was rapid, and hs lone child saw the flowers
which the warmth Of Spring had called from
the soil Of her mothers grave disturbed, up
rooted and thrown aside, that his ashes might
mingie with those of the mother Of his chill
dren.
At his death be charged her TO pay of, ssfaI
as she might be able, the debts incurred to pro-
cure the necesssries Of life. The LAND, which
from the want Of culture, had not increased II
value, was sold aud left Der but a few dollars
These she expended in rearing some boards tc

Travelled many miles, until she reached Mil

sailor, who had seen her day after day, on th'
dock, watching the steamers part, had tnqslre'
and ascertained that she wished 70 come hither
but had not the money. He brought her t
Chicago on his own vessel, and had told he
that by crossing the bridge she could find on
