A Picture of New York Life.

A letter writer of New York relates the
following touching incident: The next
day we accompanied friend OR board
one of the Southern steamers. After
So ing him comfortably located, for his
short voyage, and bidding him "God
"speed," We fastened on shore among
the last lingering lesve-tskers, but alter
the last hawser was cast Of, 10 the con-
slernat0n Of every one, woman spracg
from the boat. A dozen hands were ex-
tended, and landed her safely on the
dock. She was perfectly calm, and with
slight bow of thanks TO her de1iverers,
turned around for a last look Of the now
fast receding vessel. In an instant she
was overwhelmed with uncomfortable
grief, the most agonizing, passionate
grief. Sympathy was Offered. ard we
soon learned her history. In her own
language, made eloquent by grief, she
said-''l am i stranger. and slone. Ny
husband has gone South ne can never,
never return. They will make iHs grave
far away, and | shalt not be there" And
with tears and sobs, she turned away. A
gentleman near me said-"Msdam, why
Gid you allow it, in his feeble health
Why did you not 60 with him !"
With dignity of sorrow that silenced
all comments. she said. 'Sir, had not
1he meant.' What world Of meaning
was conveyed in that short sentiment. Al
one glance you saw the whole. The true
heroine. fllmg oul her husband for his
last voyage, with the undying hope that
lasts with life the privation, you could
see it in her scanty robe and pinched look
that had evidently known Of happier
days, and the despair that followed, as
her last sad duties accomplished, she
looked al the unsuitable ocean, bearing on
its restless bosom one for whose quiet ant
comfort she had sacrificed all. Here was
scene from drama. more powerfully
portrayed than 'Zeriina, but the lootlight:
were missing. and The gay decoration,
gone the only music, the requiem Of The
wind through the oceans leahess forest
and the careless surgings of the waves
No entTanced audience, ready 10 crown
The queen Of the hour with thOrnless rO
ses, but group Of laborers, each with
their own cares and sorrows. Such is
New York life-,he sad and joyous so
blended as TO form the light and shadow
of the picture, that otherwise would be
incomplete. God help the poor unfortu.
nale that forms the shadow.
