It was a severe blow to the lit- j tie family, for Mrs. 1 Grey had been a devoted wile dpd a true mother, uud new that misfortune Imd overtaken them, the loss was double felt. Hut they knew that their loss was her gain, and Ivied bravely to beuro their cross with (jlirihtain fortitude .For one year they lived in tho hoarding-house, always looking on the brigtest side of the picture of life, and keeping tho flowers of hope and tnith fresh and bright it; the gar den of the heurt. lint tho “Loid ehusteutth those whom he lnveth,'’'.and ugaiu sorrow's dark wing funned tho brow of Mr. Grey, and darken tlie pathway of his oliill|feii. One evening liecumehome from the store w/th u severe headache, aud the next morning he was seized with a violent fever. For weeks ho lingered between lite and death, and when tbe-dark an gel telt his side, permitting him ‘ It is very cold to-day, llnrriet. said Mr. Grey, us lie Miked out ot the window. “I cannot betir to remain yot a little linger on to think pt your long walk.’ _ • -“'Never hiin.i; tsilve/, 1 unVusedTi to if uow, and tho oxeicisois good tor uie,'’ •No, no, child, not with suoh a thin shawl around you: I never dreamed' that a child of mine ould ever have to work as you do, itiuakos my heart ucho to sen how thiu and pale you are grow ing.” •You only imagine it, father, 1 am ns well now ns I have ever been, and 1 do not find my duties so very ardions; you must not al low yourself to become low spir ited, you will soou ho well, and then you eon resume your situa tion, and we will be very happy again. I wish that I cuuhl stay longer to cheer you up, hut 1 must Jitirry or I shall bo lute at the store,’ and she piurieb her thin shawl around her, tied her worsted hood closely under her chin, aud went out into the clear, cold, frosty air. A rapid walk ol ten or fifteen minutes bioiight her tothestorn of Arnold &.

Harriet felt that she must do something immediately, for they were firmly deeply in dept and it would take a good deal of money to support the tuuiily until her father became fully rccovured, The first step to be taken was to fiud a place in which to live will, less expense than the board ing house they occupied. Alter two days of weary search ing, she succeeded in finding two poorly furnished rooms, whioh she succeeded in securing at a weekly rent of two dollars. To these miserable lodgings she removed her father, still un able to sit up, and her little Bister. Her next step was to secure for herself a situation as clerk in the large dry goods store of Arnold & Lee on Arch street. For her ser vices theresho received five dollars a week, and Irer small salary hail supported the family for over four months, when tho conversation occurred that open our sketch. Howard Leo, the junior partner of tlie firm oi Arnold & Lee, had known Mr. Grey when he waB a successful merchant, and in many ways assisted the broken 'down ianiily. Every morning when Harriet entered tho store he gave, her a kindly word.arid a pleasent smile, aud every Saturday night seijt something honjofor the invalid father. These little attentions, insignificant in themselves, cheer ed the heart of the toiling girl and made a pleasant streak ofsurishino jn her dreary path, Mr. Grey’s recovery was very alow; how could it btj otherwise, when he was denied the coipforts and indulgences so necessary to an invalid? aud-as day alter day pass ed by and ho became apparently sister by her daily toil, and dur ing those months she had grown old, Deep care lines lurked around the tnouth unco dimpled with smile?, and the eyes’ whioh ouce shone bright as diamonds, were dimmed aud suukcu. Harriet Gruy Imd been delicate ly roared, and misfortune, care and toil sat heavly upon her, Oue evening vs she left the storo, Howard Leo came up be hind her and wiid: ’•How is your father, to-day, Harriet? No better, I fear; lie recovers Rnslhwly that change for the bet ter is almost imperceptible." I am sorry to hear this, for you aro killing yourself iu order to keep your family alive.
