health was preserved to her, in very
comfortable circumstances. Something
more than twelve months ago she was
seized with rheumatism, which eventually
deprived her of the use Of her lower
limbs and left her . helpless cripple.
Everything that medical assistance could
do for her was done, the husband devoting
every penny Of his earnings to that OBJ
ject, but to no purpose. At last the

ceeded to carry into execution. He
fitted up his wheelbarrow - the

commencement of the summer just passed,
set out on his long and tedious journey.
By slow stages he reached Albany, where
he secured deck passage on one OF the
North river steamboats, and came down
to New York. At Jersey City the wheel
barrow was again resumed, and after
many weeks Of travel he arrived at his

again doomed to bitter disappointment.

months had the brave, heroic man trun-
died that wheelbarrow, when he arrived
ct Newark this morning-always select

to his wife's wants with the tenderness
and care of woman. His two little
children, apparently imbued with the
fathers spirit trudged along by bis side
uncomplainingly. He will return to his
home in WATERFOWL by the same tedious
process-too poor to employ any other

history of one life struggle, which, we be-
iieve, has few counterparts anywhere.
