An Extract from Dickens.

The rain fell heavily, and a
dark mist dropping over the dis
tant town hid it from view. The
chill wind was bowling, and the
day was darkening moodily, when
Harriet, raising her eyes from the
work on which she had long since
been engaged, saw one Of these
travellers approaching. A woman.
a solitary woman, ot some thirty
years of age, tall, well formed
handsome, miserably dressed, the
soil OF many country roads In va
ried weather-dust, chalk, CLAY.
gravel-clotted on her gray cloak
by the streaming wet, no bonnet
on her head, nothing to defend her
rich black hair from tue rain but a
torn handkerchief. As her hands
parting on her suhburfit forehead
swept across her face, there was a
reckless and regardless beauty in
ny dauntless and depraved
indifference to more than wealth
or q carelessness Of what was cast
upon her bare head from heaven
or earth, that, coupled with her
misery and loneliness. touched the
heart Of hei fellow woman. She
thought of all that was perverted
and debased within her, no less

OF the mind, hardened and steelsd.

Thinking of this, she did not

tion, too many Of her own comDas-
sionate sex too often do. She pit.
led her. She asked her to come
In, and helped her to bind up her
bruised and bleeding foot. The
woman caught her arm, and, draw.

them against it and wept. sHave

Too Contented.

Contentment is a very. GOOD
thing in its place, but it is said
that virtues carried to excess be.
come wees" Some people have the
vice OF contentment very bad. As
Hugh Miller justly remarks of the
Scottish Highlanders, their con.
tentment was certainly no virtue,
when it had the effect of arrest
ing all improvement. 1t is also
perilonsly allied to great suffering.
when the men who exemplify it are
so thoroughly happy amid ;he me
dlocrities of the present that they
fail to make provision for the con
tingencies of the future"
There is no merit In being con.
tented with, an old lcaky root and
patched windows; house with
loose clapboards, and a tangled
door yard. whose one hinged gate
gives free ingress to cows and piys.
