DEATH-THE STOLEN TNTERvIEw-THE
FRIEND-THE soLILooUY. E
Six weeks had passed since the words
of the remorseless deceiver had fallen with
crushing weight on Maleen's soul,
and yet her physician, who remained
as much as possible, and Mrs. Ell
lerton and Ruth, who constantly watch
ed by her bed, perceived no change
in her, save gradual sinking Of the eyes,
an increasing pallor Of the countenance,
and the clear deathly transparency which
the hands assumed. Sometimes she
would laugh convulsively, again weep
fountains of scalding tears, and then for
DAYS her lips would give forth only low
continued moan, revealing too plainly the
broken heart. $500.
The darkened room, the careful tread,
the table covered with the choicest luxu-
ries to tempt the sickly appetite-all
showed how truly the dying girl was low
ed and how tenderly she was nursed.-
1t was the physicians opinion that she
might live many weeks but could not re-
cover. Her parents were therefore sum
moned to return Immediately to their on
" child, from whom they had separated
with extreme sorrow, at her request, be-
ing too timld and too frail to encounter
the fatigues and dangers which they an
ticipated. -,
One lovely afternoon near the close Of
March,,as Mrs. Ellerton sat by the sick
and now greatly emaciatsd girl, holding
her hands in one of her own and sooth-
ingly bathing her temples, Maleen sud-
denly opened her eyes and looked about
with an expression of momentary relief,
as if awaking from protracted and hor-
rid dream. For the first time she seemed
conscious Of her suffering and Of the pres
ence of her friend.
The agitation Of her features subsidized,
her ewes became brilliant and clear, and
10 those unacquainted with death, these
would have been the harbingers Of re-
turning health. Mrs. Ellerton had been
apprised of the probability Of these symp-
tens as dissolution approached; she was
net therefore deceived by them. With
a firmness which surprised herself, she re-
solved to remain alone beside the dying
toirI. and endeavor In this lucid interval
to draw from her the cause Of her suffer

TIE LETTERS.

Poor Maleen with whist earnestness,
with what touching eloquence did she
write the story of her early and pure
love With what noble and pure sen
lnelts expanding her bosom did she
ilse from her accomplished task, and
smelling before the full length portrait of

riage till my fortune was equal to her
own. therefore labor and hope for that
blessed moment when l shall be repaid
for this long endurance-this cruel sepa-
ration, by folding her once more in my
embrace"
Very slowly and quietly Maleen read
this letter to its close, though deathly
paleness was on every feature, her lips
were tightly compressed. and she gasped
instead of breathing. The paper gradu-
ally fell from her white and stifened
hands, and her head was dropping upon
her breast. No exclamation escaped her
no tears gathered in her eyes. All
night did she pace that beautifully deco
rated apartment with her arms folded,
fearless and with her eyes fixed upon the
portrait of her mother in silent agony
Towards morn a single expression-"my
mother" broke from her parched lips,
in that accent which can only proceed
from a heart whose hopes have been
wholly crushed-whoSe music has been
forever stilled.
Thus was she found by her maid few
hours after. Mrs. Ellerton was summoned
then a physician who had always at
tended her. No one could account for
the sudden prostration of the sweet girl.
Now and then she revived little, to sink
Immediately into fresh stupor. She had
never spoken.
Mrs. Ellerton found the letter upon the
carpet, and placed it in Maleen's writing
desk. Ruth removed the dropping flow
ers from the room, and wondered why
they had been placed there.

On the same afternoon that Mrs.

Mr.. HICKMAN's EULoGY ON BRoDRRIcK.
Mr.. Hickman, the uncompromising
and outspoken anti. Lecompton Represen-
tative from Pennsylvania, has made quite
fame for himself, the present session, by
his gallant stand against the minions Of
the Administration. His course has Civ
en- unbounded satisfaction to his consti.
tuents, for on his recent visit home, the
Pittsburg papers say he was received with
the greatest demonstrations of favor and
regard. His last effort was speech in
eulogy of Senator Broderick. The COR
respondent Of the Philadelphia Press says
Of it and him: a. 1855
"The appearance of Mr.. Hickman.
when he delivered his fine eulogy on
Senator Broderick, in the House Of Rep
resentatives. on Monday last, was exceed
ingly impressive. He had been splitting
blood for some days before, and, in
deed, has been in most debilitated con.
dition ever since the commencement Of
the session. His pale face. his flashing
black eye, and his clear, ringing tones.
touched with the deepest melancholy,
were alike evidences of his heroic moral
courage and his enfeebled health. His
eulogy was masterpiece of composition
and rhetoric, and, although the Southern
members seemed inspired by a sudden
motive to leave their seats almost in q
body the moment the ceremonies COM
memorating the death Of the iIlustfous
Senator from California began, the gal.
leries listened with breathless esgerness,
and the House was stilled before the trib.
utes of those who spoke of his fame, his
and his patriotism"

Upon the same evening, far different
scene occurred in one of the rooms of q
small and crowded house in the city Of
New York. The walls were bare, and
in many places upon them the dampness
stood in great drops. The room was in
tensely cold, for the fire had been long
extinguished in the grste. A bed Of
straw lay upon the floor in one corner Of
the room, and upon it, q pale and ems-
ciated woman worn down by sickness
and sorrow; yet no complaint escaped
her lips. A thin shawl was the only COW
ering, and even this she at length drew
from herself, and wrapped about the
shoulders of child, who sat upon the
edge of the straw, shrunk and purple with
cold, and moaning piteousIy for bread.
Two days had passed since Mrs. Law
renee and Der child tasted food. The
room contained no article Of furniture, ex-
cept an old tin pail, in which they pro-
cured water, and from it they drank
tparingly. 7,4t l;.,1i III eu.ialai Z

On the same afternoon that witnessed
the death of the pure hearted Maleen,
there might have been seen, in distant
and less populous part of the city, a
genteel stranger enter very ordinary
looking boarding house, pass two flights
of stairs and enter room upon the right.
This was small but comfortably furnished
and the furniture was new. a FIRE burn
ed in the CRATE. A table near it contain
ed few books and papers, the bed in the
corner was enclosed in white curtains,
and the floor was covered with coarse
carpet. 81.
The appearance of the man who enter
ed, bore no resemblance to the apartment.
He was dressed in the height of fashion.
and moved with an easy grace which is
seldom acquired among the lower classes,
tasked as they are with labor SO severe
and unremitting that little leisure or dis
position remain for the cultivation of
grace and refinement. ,y,- .c-E 81 50
The gentleman anxiously watched ct the
window which gave view Of the street,
and smile of triumph illumed his coun-
tenancs as carriage stopped at the house;
q lady, tall, but of slight figure, descended
from it untitled in hoods and furs. and
speakinga moment with the coachman. en-
tered the building. Lightly ascending the
stairs, she paused at tbs dosr of the room
alluded to. and was elasped in the stran-
gers arms. = 'sisyss iDa hsslsz7l ass8 sad
