Several days ago the LEDGER gave
an account Of an orphan girl, who de-
spite the tears and e~ntreaties of her
brother, persisted in living a life of
shame, was sent to the Mission Home,
but on Saturday was brought back to
the station house, because the ladies
of the Home could do nothing with
her. While at the station yesterday,
awaiting the decision of the chief in
regard to her disposal, the news clme
that her brother was dead-the noble
young fellow, who, though repulsed by
her at every turn, bad struggled with
all the power OF soul and body to save
her. Upon hearing the sad news, she
gave completely away. Her griet was
unconsolable, and her piteous means
for her poor dOad mother and the
brother she had scorned in spite of
all his love, caused many a tear of
pity 10 moisten the cheeks of those
who saw, heard and understood.
She was released, that she might at
Tend his funeral, after which, sue aud
a younger sister, for whom the broth
err had been caring, were sent TO the
Mission Home. Her conduct in this
last instance shows that her heart is
not yat completely hardened, aud it is
hoped the ladies Of the mission may
do something toward retaining her.
