MISS ARNOLD.
Another Story Of Love that was True,
but Didn't Run Smooth.

TALES" ETC.
CHAPTER VIII (CoNrrNuEpl.

to ask were you intending to visit that
poor bed-ridden creature? l thought by
the expression she used that you were not
acquainted with her case, and probably
had never been in the cottage before. Win
you excuse me for saying she is in great
necessity~
ut is the first time / have ever been
down this lane, sir, but l assure you it
shall not be the last; will come and see
the poor woman again. There are few
things | pity so much as the being bed
ridden"
She had walked into the lane. He had
quilted the garden, too, and continued to
walk by her side, talking as he went.
II hope there is not so much suffering
in thatstat as we are apt to imagine" he
said; sat least, have observed that very
poor people are enabled to bear it with
wonderful cheerfulness and patience. l
believe, to those who have lived a life of
hard labor, rest has something acceptable
in 1t, which compensates for many priva
tions, but these old creatures are also
miserably poor. The parish can not allow
much, and they are so anxious not to be
forced into the house, that they contrive
to make very little do. The poor woman
has been for years receiving relief as men,
Der of sick-club; but lately the managers
have come to a. resolution that she has
been upon the list for such an unex-
ampled length of time that they can not
afford to go on with the allowance any
longer"
GLOW cruel and unjust"
every sad, as it affects her comforts,
poor creature, and certainly not Just; vet,
as she paid only about three years, and
has been receiving an allowance for fif-
teen, it would be difficult, | fancy, to
make the sort of people who manage such
clubs see it quite in that light. At all
events we can get her no redress, for she
does not belong to this parish, though her
husband does; and the club of which she
is member is in a place at some distance
of which the living is sequestrated, and
there is no one of authority there to
whom we can apply. | only take the liber-
ty of entering into these details, madam,
in order to convince you that any charity
you may extend in this quarter, will be
particularly well applied"
