Now that adversity had thrown around her iU traiu of evils, the nobleness and ma jesty of her nature w ere shown forth. Now, when external forces would crush aud blight her young heart, its strength was most pow erfully developed : and, like a palm palm tree weight is which shoots upwards when a plueeJ on it to crush it, so her pure heart rose above the accumulated burden of her woes. She had succeeded in obtaining a per manent situation as k niiistress iu one of the manufactories of the city. Alti i.tion to hi r business, always ready to assi.-t her fellow workers, and of an obliging disposition, she sc:n won the good opinion of her employer, and the love of Ler asscciatcs.
