AiPiclure OF New York Life.

Alettcr writer from New York re.
iatcs the following touching incident
The next day we accompanied d
friend on board ono cf the Southern
steamers. After seeing him comfor,a
bly, located, for his short VOYAGE, and
bidding him "God speed" We hastene,l
on shore among the last lingering
.leavc-takers. but after the last hawser
was cast off, .te the constelnation of
every one, a woman sprang from the
boat. A dozen hands were extended.
and landed her snfely on the lock.-
She. was perfectly calm, and with u
slight bow Of thanks, to her deliver.
crs, turned around for last look of
the now fast reccding vessel. In an
instant she was overwhelmed with un-
ccntrollablc grief, tho most agonizins
passionate grief. Sympathy was offer
ed, and we soon learned her history.
In her own language, made eloquent
by grief, she said--"I am "A stranger,
and alone. My husband has gone
South; he can never, neversrcturn.-
They will make his grave far away,
and l shall not be there" Aud with
tears and sobs she turned away. A
gentleman near me, said-'''Ma,lamc,
Why did you allow it, in lis feeble
health Why did you not go with
him." With dignity that silenccd
all comments, she said, ''Sir, / had
not the means. What world of
meaning was conveyed in that short
sentiment. At one glance you saw
the whole. The true heroine, fitting
OUT her husband for his last voyage,
with the undying hope that lasts with
life the privation, you could see it in
the scanty robe and pinched look, that
had evidently known of happier days,
and the despair that followed, as her
last sad duties accomplished, she look
cd at the Unsuitable ocean bearing Oh
its restless bosom one for whose quiet
and comfort she had sacrificed all
Here was scene from dramn, more
powerfully portrayed than sHcrlina,
but the footlights were missing, and
the gay decorations gone; the only
music, the rcquicmo of the wind through
the oceans lcaflcss forest, and the
careless sur9ingS Of the waves. No
cntrarcca audience ready to crown the
queen. of the hour with thornless roses,
but group Of laborcrs, each with
their own cares and sorrows. Such is
New York lifc--the sad and Joyous so
blended as to form the light and shaa.
ow of the picture, that otherwise ould
be incomplete. God help The poor w =
fortunate that forms tho shadow.

simple child. Never had she heard so
forcible lecture on the evils of scold.

into her heart, and she turned away
from the innocent face Of her little one
to hide the tears that gathered in her
eyes. Children are quick observers
and Lizzie seeing the effect of her
words, FASTENED to inquire:
"Why do you cry, mother? Was i,
naughty in me for to ask so many qucs.

"No, love, it was all right. I was

hear and be troubled by it."
