Diving i'm Florida.

Some time since a gentleman, with his
wife and two children, went to Cedar
Keys, Florida, for the benefit of his health.
He was in the last stages of that terrible
malady, consuption, and the family
boarded at the only hotel i'm the place.
For several months remittances came from
Baltimore to them; not much but suffi-
Gent TO pay their board. The salt breezes
from the Gulf of Mexico brought no heal
ing balm to the sufferer who continued to
grow worse and the time came when the
remittances ceased. Letters to Baltimore
failed to elicit funds, and want stared the
little family in the face. The landlord
waited for some time, but finally, with sad
dened heart, told his unfortunate boarders
that his means did not enable him TO sup
port them longer, and they must remove.
With no funds and no friends, The little
family, taking with them such seanty bed
ding as the hotel keeper could spare them,
sought refuge in n miserable howell near
by, which had been rudely constructed of
refuse boards, as shelter for the negro
hands at the neighboring mill. Here the
suffererl grew rapidly worse, and the
young wife and mother, who had hitherto
never known want, but had been surround
ed by the luXuries of life, was compelled to
go out upon the seashore to gather oysters
and catch crabs to furnish food for her
loved ones, who were all unable to render
her any assistance. Besides seeking food
for the family, she was compelled to carry
heavy slabs of wood from the mill for
fuel indeed, all the cares of the house
hold devolved upon her. There came a
day when the life, which had been but
feebly pulsing through the consumptive's
veins, was fast dying out altogether He
was sinking fast to that realm were the
| weary are at rest" when knock at the
door announced II visitor. The person
calling handed the lady IA telegram, con-
tanning the information that her husband
had, by a recent decision, come into the
possession of an ample fortune. The glad
| tidings came too late, and fell upon the
ear of the dying man UNDECIDED. He was
past all earthly aspirations, all earthly aid.
Through the village the news spread like
wildfire. and-sad mockery of human
sympathy and kindness-the people flock
ed to offer their services. Some bore fruit;
others took clean bedding and clothing.
| The object of their sudden solicitude was
even then expiring and before he could
be moved his eyes closed, to open ina bet
ter world. What need to speak of the sad
burial by the seaside, of the childrens'
sobs, the widows anguish 1t was soon
over, and the lady obtained funds, soon
started for her home in Baltimore.-Net
