She was tho light of their lyes the only being whom they oulj not cheerfully give up, in tho prospect xf death.

When all as over, Kate was told that she ninst leae the house It was wanted for a richer lei -ant. She had not a Fingle dollar. Her furniture as taken aiy and sold to pay the reot. All the li tie ornaments of the rooms, so dear to her bicmse then were the r-ifts of ' kf r pme tt ...... birthdavs. vfci.t with U.o rest; and in the afternoon of the third day I from tho fuueru! of bytb lier parent Kalo walked out of the gate and en tered a small cottage, poor, menu and old, the only shelter she could afford to rest in. The next wpek saw her out in tho pursuit of employment something anything that would bring her food enough to support life and strength. No foolish pride in Kite's heart held her back from the search after tho means of living. Teaching that resource ( f almost every girl left to herself was not included in her cataloguo of labor, Kate was intelligent and well taught ; but of the regular routine of school learning she was ignorant. Of useful information she had a fund. It was im parled to her from childhood by her lather and mother ; but neither of her parents was willing to spare her from home, and therefore, her school knowl edge was not extensive, She bad learned book keeping, however, of her father, who was once a succcssrul mer chant, before tho hand of diseaito had touched alike her per son and bis for tunes. And her frst thought was that she might obtain some situation in mhich she could make this knowledge count to her for bread. She entered several stores, modestly offming her services as book-keeper or cashier; but all those situations were al ready filled. Next the milliner's shops wero tried then the dressmakers' room shops and rooms, which, in bet ter days her mother had most generous ly patronizid, but which now seemed to have no room for Kate. Her last elf irt was at a depot for ready-nado linen. The shopman knew her, and allowed her to carry off some woik without tho usual deposit of its worth in money. She was gljid of even this scanty a ldi tion to her means ; and half an hour alter she Lift the shop, she was sc ited in the one l,alitablc room of her Id'le citta 'e. sewing diligently upon a car- (iient the first of her half dozeo. Kate was a rapid end skillful seam ress; and, as her smull house rctpj ied little ti.iiO to nut it io order, and her frugal meal still less time to prepare, she was nj iced to find that sha could cmplete them all in a single week. Mo was to be paid a balf dollar each; and she carried thm bark, and received the money tho next Saturday evening with a feeling of satis' action that no one ever experiences unless it is earned. H.cry week sha now earned snfTuictit for her (Menses: and. very soon she was trusted with fi ier and more ixpcu ive work, until at last, she could read it v command from six to cinht dollars. She did i his until late in the winter ; con Ktnnlly carrying bundles of woik, and oi j lying the air and exercise it brought her. without a lrmu"nt ol oe.-jra-Ution i so doing. True, she was sometimes passed with out recognition by some who bad kuo.vu her mder other circumstances j but Ki.tt's cheerful and iudepcedo.it spoil was far above ell this. She looked as serene under llio negle:t in if the rcc nenili on were ever so cordial ; and so ni'ti n shamed the proud ones who could not deny that in her mi pie mourning grub there was un iloga ice and propn ety to which they never yet atli.ii.cd. F.vtn her package of woik did not take irom her the unmistakable lady like ap pearance inseparable from bcr ; for she eauied it with an euse a-id grace so rare, that seemed ulnost the budge ol snptii ir gemiliiy.

She bote the setting of her ankle like a hero, and submitted to have her arm violently pulled without flii.ching. Then she sat upright, looked this l ew helper in the lace, lie was a man ol appar ently forty years of age ; tall, and not slender ; with large, kenevolont brown eyes, and a few while streaks in his dirk, abundant hair; a gentleman in the broadest sense of the word, a Sidiolar, and b good surgeon. Kate's simple, straightforward mii.d had divined what he was, und her eyes took in the details as well as the meaning of bis face; a face so entirely good that a little child might read it, Her heart instinctively told her that here, nt any rite, was a man who would never deceive. She bad heard of him heard ho.y b- loved and trtist-d he had been in his native city a neighboring one, where be hud always practiced had heard of more than one grand and noble deed he had performed.

All thesrs things rushed to the memory when le told her his tame. S ie remembered, too, that her father had desired to call him in whn her mother was ill, but that che hud nppised it. IL'r mother was alsays so unicli afraid of expenses wh'ch she knew would not avail to nave her life, and she wat;ted so much to leave something for Kuto. when she should have known of Kale's present situation, there would been one pang more in her dying hour. "I shall ride over to see how you are. to-morrow," he said kindly, as ho went out. "You must bo as quiet as possi- but I will lend you my cane, so if you want 1 1 come and look mo out, you can do so." And Kuto did rise and go to the dorr with him, dispito the grolesqnciuss or hopp'og upon one foot. "Now go back to your sofa, and you may read a little ; but remember, no work, till I see you."
