Her complexion is fair, her smile gentle and sweet, though of rare occurrence; and her person somewhat bent, when sitting, from her habit of fixed j attention to her work. Many strangers have waited a long time to see her thread her needle which is quite a mysteri ous process, and never accomplished without the aid of the tongue." She was the daughter of exceedingly poor parents, who had several ybirrrger children, to whom she was m the habit of showing such offices of kindnesj ashe" afflicted state admitted. Notwithstanding:her blindness, she early evin ced a close observation with regard to articles of dress, preferring among those which were presented her as gift?, sueh as were of the finest texture. When the weather became cold, she would occasionally kneel on the floor of their humble dwelling, to feel whether the other children of the I family were furnished with shoes and stockijigs, while she wras with out, and would express uneasiness at the con trast. ! Seated oh her ! little j block, weaving stripes ot thin bark with. pieces ot leather and thread, which her father in his processes of making- snoes rejected, she amused herselt with con structing for her cat bonnets and Vandykes, not wholly discordant with' the principles of taste.

And small portions ot her Work were sent hv h benefactors as presentsj into various parts of tfi union, to snew to what neatness of execution ; blind girl was capable. It was occasionally the practice of rrentle men who from pity or curiosity visited her, to make trial of her; sagacity, by giving her their watches and employing her to restore them to er their right owner. They would change their position with re gard to her, and each: strive to take the watch which did not belong to him -but though she might at the same time; hold two or three, nei ther stratagem r rior persuasion would induce her to yield either olthcm, except to the per SOnJm wnom she had received it.

J .1 ..wuobv jwuicu nas ever lornieu sagacity of a spaniel. Yet keeping in view all the aid which these limited faculties have the power of imparting, some of the discoveries and exercises of her intellect are still, in a mea sure, unaccountable. As the abodes which from her earliest recol lections she had inhabited, were circumscribed & -humble, it was supposed that at her first recep tion into the asylum she would testify surprise at the comparative spaciousness of the mansion. But she immediately busied herselt in quietly exploring the size of the apartments, and the leijrht of the staircases; she even knelt ana smelled to the thresholds; and now, as if by the union of a mysterious geometry With a powerful memory, never makes a false step upon a flight of stairs, or enters a wrong door, or mistakes her scat at the table. Among hcr'.varioui excellencies, neatness, and love of order are conspicuous. Her sim ple wardrobe is systematically arranged, and it is impossible to displace a single article in her drawers, without her perceiving and resto ring it. When the large baskets ol clean linen are weekly brought from the laundress, she selects her own garments without hesita tion, however widely they may dispersed t f a r l. J among the mass, ii any pari oi ner urss re quires mending, she is prompt and skilful in re . . . . . . i , i pairing it, and her perseverance in this orancn of economy, greatly diminishes the expense of j her clothing. Since her residence at the asylum, donations of charitable visitants have been considerable in -amount:' These are deposited in a box with an inscription, and she has been made to under stand that the contents are devoted to her bene fit. This box she frequently poises in her hand, expresses pleasure when it testifies an increase of weight; for she has long since ascer tained that money is the medium for the supply of her wants, and attaches to it a proportionate value. - J1 Though her habits are peculiarly regular and consistent, yet occasionally some action occurs which it is difficult to explain. One morning- during the past summer, while em ployed with her needle, she found herself in commoded by the warmth of the sun. She arose, opened the window, closed theblind, and again resumed her work. At the tea table with the whole family, on her sending a cup to be replenished, one whs accidently returned to her which hadbeenvused by another person. This she perceived at the moment of taking it into her hand, and pushed it from her with some slight appearance of disgust, as if her . sense of propriety had not been re garded. There was not the slightest difference in the cups, and in this instance she seems en dowed with a degree of penetration not posses sed by those in thefull enjoyment of sight. Person most intimately acquainted with her habits assert that she constanly regards the recurrence of the Sabbath, and composes her self to unusual quietness as if in meditation. Her needle-work, from which she will not be debarred on other days, she never attempts to resort, to; and this wholly without influence from those around her. Julia , Brace leads a life of perfect content ment and is in this respect boih an example aBd reproof to those who for trifling inconveni ences indulge in repining, though surrounded by all the gifts of nature and fortune. The genial influences of Spring wake her lone heart to gladness md she gathers the first flowers, and even the young blades of grass and inhales their freshness with a delight bordering on transport. Sometimes, when apparently in deepJ,hought, she is observed to burst into laughter, as if her associations of ideas were favorable not only to cheerfulness but to mirth. The society of her female com panions in the Asylum is soothing to her fee lings; and their habitual kintl offices, the gui ding of their arm in her walks, or the affection ate pressure of their hand, awaken in her de monstrations of gratitude and friendship.. Not long since, one of the pupils was sick but it was no supposed that amid the multitude which sur rounded her, the blind girl was conscious of the absence of a single individual. A physician pursuit, and as luck wrould have it, took a di rection for the shore, and ran up nearly high and dry into the mud. Before he could get fairly afloat again and have a plenty of sea room to make his escape, the colored man seized him by the gills, dragged him up on the beach, and secured his prize." U. S. Gaz.
