Til li RUINED POTTER.
James Fielding was the son of a -pot
ter, mid bird up to his fathers trade.
Jig tnaiiied young long belore he could
keep a wife, and with both his parents'
consent, or rather their forgiveness; as
they could not help themselves. For,
. ;;s they said it war very natural' an' he
might ha' doiK; voise : 'twar, to be sure,
the first time, an'-belike he wouldn't do
it agen. And so ihey cordially shook
hands with liitii.and pledged the pret
ty bride in a flagon ot Burton, and were
both present at the first child's cbristen
; ing. But the cholera came soon after
wards, snd took off t lie old man and his
wite. This was the opening scene of
Jarnes Fielding's sufferings want
pestilence and death. His wife and
himself, vera soon afterwards seized
with the disorder, and though they re
covered slowly, it was only to find their
lather and mother, and first .. child re
moved from their once happy home to
the churchyard, and they themselves
wih feble bodies and accumulated debts
which had run ou wildly during sick
ness. First James was put into jail for
the doctor's bill, and then the landlord
distrained for rent, and turned them on
the world : and so they were ruined.
To be in prison never serves a man ;
he gets a habit of shifting and shuffling,
and leaning, and talking and idling; he
has the short hand in the pocket walk,
and the hang down look of a jail com
panion; he is never a man again.
James Fii.lding came out of Stafford
jiil, a changeJ cl.aracler ; tnoro clever
and loss capable ot work daintier, .but
not so refined prouder but not more
honorable : thu edge was taken from the
mind and given to the appetites; never
theless he w as a fond lather; tor he short
ly became one again, and a loving hus
band'to a wife who doated on him.
But a thoroughly fallen man seldom
rights himself, and bankruptcy is a
.break up for life in the constitutor! of
successful industry. Jas. Feilding la
bored, but his toiL was thrifilcs ; hp
found frbnds, but, one way or other,
he lot in everybody who had r.nything
to do with him. By degreee, he got, as
was natural, a very bad characler, and
as generally the case under such cir
cumstances, without altogether - deserv
ing it. He was an unfortunate, but not
an evil man ; and we all know how laj
Jiug Itodios quic ken in their descent.
Still, he was a man born to suffer, and
earn his bread by the sweat of his brow.
Men cf all count lies,- station, and for
tune?, labor from the serf to the lord
and Fielding's destiny was only that of
hissx. But the gentle, pietty girl,
whom lie had taken from her lather's
horn! to comfort and cherish, to keep
Lis frcs.de, and to nurse his little ones
around h.:n, htfr lot was not cast by
God for labor, for toil, for moil, and . an
guih . yet, who can tell what arrows of
rief pierced that woman's heart during
her twelve years apprenticeship to wifc
doru ! Who shall desciibc the woman
ly miseries, alas, toocommon in Eng
bu J ! of her daily shifts and struggles,
her pigmy, annt looks, threadbare
clothes insufficient to protect her from
the winter weather, her hard day-labor,
her sharp endurance of her children's
hunger, and forgctfulness of her own ;
her long sad catalogue of distresses,
compared with which the pains of
childbirth and even the death of the
child at the breast, are nothing, being
feminine sufferings. 1
This pijor woe begone mother stood
before good curate Godfrey, one of a
noiseless wayfaring body of christian
men who make a little stir beyond their
own parish, but arc there constantly felt
and heard of; the true disciples of the
Father of the poor, the world's first
teacher of charity.
"He be goin' fast, indeed he be,' said
Mary Fielding, speaking of the potter,
who had been down some weeks in a
Jow fever. 'Tis hard to lose the father
of one's child'cn. , I could ha' borne any
stroke but this'n. Everywhere is a
churchyard now the life is dug out ol
me.' '
Do not murmur but think of the past.
. I remember christening some of .those
children, when he and you were full of
health and joy. . In this journey of life,
Mary, there is no hill without its fol
low. Your neighbor, Susan Jackion,
will not h ive to mourn the loss of a
husband, for she has never known the
love and protection of one; and when
she goes, she will not leave orphans to
grieve for her. But, for all that Susan
is very lonelytond destitute, and sarr
nobody cr.res for her.'
'Mayhap; but Susan' Jackson can't
he sorry for what she never had; 'and
poor folk diduU ought to be fanciful
Tis pie, sir, partin' wi' my husband'
that should f-ct.' .1.:
'But you should remember, Mary,
that when Junns and you were mar
ried, it was on the condition you were
to part one day. We must not forget
the ninety-nine favors because the huu
dselh is not grunted. The Loid gave,
and the Lord taketh away.'
'Oh, sir, 'lis beautiful to hear ye talk;
you alway say summit so comforlin'
feelin' aij,' sensible like. One is asham
ed to giumblo a "fore you, 'lis so selfish
and ill-natured.
'But' how are the little 'ones Mary?'
'I ci n't say much for 'em sir: they be
hut poorly.'
Tliey have had some food to-day I
hope V " , "'." ' ",':'',.
Tis early yet, sir.' It was past
mid-day. But indeed they haute well."
Did they eat anything last night be
fore lying down V
,'Baby l.acj a sup , a' gruel out o-James'
cup, but Billy an' Jacky, an' tother nt
had nothing ' . . . r"
'And you?' " ' ' .
" 'Ohj sir. God be i-ratse. I am risen to
it. Ten yedrs is a long'prtmtisage.
' l is surpnsin how the famine leens it
self An' ; then, the " children's -cries,
an ' hlift a dyltr; .drives the thought a
way from me. I ant got the hard 1 sto
mach o' hunger, sir; 'tis unfeeliu' in a
mother. : - ..
No wonder she did not feel thegnaw-
ings of want; ,she had passed her bmg
into other existence?; she had lost her
indentityjn the wife and the mother.
'Well, well, we must
for the children,' Mary.'
do something
Oh, sir, I did, tut come for ihaf. .
What I wants is work. You ha'. coin
ed at ween its an death, many's a-time,
But indeed, what I am here for, is afore
Jcames goes 1 wish he could see you,
sir, air" talk, wi you - you a bit. His
mind be strange and uncomfortable like,
about religion.' . ; . : ; -' .
'I thought him a believer, Mary.'
Mayhap he be; but men tell their
Wives what, if Ihey could, they would
hide from God, an,' I ha heered him
say awlut things; ne war always so
courageous like. Howsomedever, . his
hour be come, an' he' ha' losed his dar-
he believes list hke;a child. I
thought if he could , o'ny see you sir.' .
Mr. Godfry rang the bell. An aged
but notable servant woman came. - :
Martha, bring Mrs. Fielding a little
warm bread and milk.' ,i:
Oh, no no, sir ! Tis only my way,
what you see in my face. I war alway'
palish like leastways this many a day.
Martha, who had promptly obeyed
her master, returned in a lew minutes
with a basm. - r
'Theje, take that gently, Mary, itrwill
warm you.' i ,
Will you forgive - me sir? Indeed I
cannot. It 'vd choke me. 1 he child'cn
the poor hungry child'en, sir !:".'"""
They shall be thought ot.' Mr.Uod-
freytheu left theroom, returning short-
y after with his long surtout buttoned
closely up and a small parcel in his
hand.
This contains a loaf, Mary and
something rise you know what to do
with i. Iet nie have the ticket when
I call, which will be in the course of
the evening. Leave me now.".
The comforted mother looked on
Heaven's minis er and then up to hea
ven, and passed noiselessly through
the small door, with faith, hope, and ma
ternal love the three strongest pulses
of the heart to su; port her. 1 She had
the only full and perfect lesson of reli
gion charity. But she did not know,
until she got to the pawnshop, that the
poor curate had taken his only waist
coat from his back to feed her children.
Then, indeed, the tide of religigion
cams strong upon her. So true it is,
that one act of kindness is worth a vol
ume of sermons in converting people.
The curate's vest was a babtismal robe
to the tmregenerated spirit of Mary
Fielding, the free-thinking potter's wife.
It was on an evening in the middle
June that Mr. Godfrey jassed along to
the potter's cottage. There, had been
some smart refreshing showers during
the day, an the grass was healthily
grefn and the floweis were vigorous and
balmy, and here and there was -the rest
less uneasy chirp in the tree or hedge,
of the young bird in its nest. ' The sheep
were settling down lor the night irl then
meadows; and the cows, after the milk
ing, were scattered over the distant pas
turages. At intervals there was an un
yoked horse exulting in abundance and
freedom.' The poor saluted Mr. God
frey as he passed, and the rich cordially
greeted him, for he was universally be
loved. 1
All God' works are beautiful and hap.
py,' said he to himself, ns he wound among
the green bines, and gazed upon the broad
benignant sky. 'Man alone makes the
world miserable. 1 ennnot think the de
sign of Providence was la make the chief
of a joyous creation wretched; there must
be some key lb human felicity. The de
parting sun shines on these dingy cottages,
and the few struggling flowers bloom
cheerfully, and cast their sweetness abroad
on the air. Outside is God's work : with
in, is man's. '
And the curate entered the cabin of
James Fielding the rouer. , ! " y
;Thnnk God, thank Go! ! My stu'ris
at pcaco now. She is provideJ for, nnd
they, too. Read to me sir, please : 'I vill
rouse me up I feel .Irowsyish." ,
The curate opened his pocket Bible, and
in a sweet low voice read from the four
teenth to the seventeenth of John. As h
proceeded, the little boy peeped up from
his straw, and sucked in the words. Th
sick man opened his stiffening lids from
time to time, and murmured a prayer f.om
unparted motionless lips, which sounded
strange and unearthly in the small cham
ber. The pale wife, with her infant daugh-
lerlin her lap, wept silently; and lh littler
boy, Jemmy, was seated on one of the
worn-out hassocks, holding the candle,
which was stuck in a bottle, .for the good
pastor as be read. The other boy was
gone of an errand, for a neighbor.' "Night
had set in, and a gentle breeze fanned the
chamber through the cpened door and
pane'ess window. People glided cautious
ly by, from time to time, urged by pity or
curiosity., vV" -- '-
After about an ho ir's stillness, the sick
n an stirred, then tried to sigh,',, but th
groan died within him, and for a time he
whispered: but nobody knew what he said.
At lenghih, after the curate had applied a
few drops of moisture from an orangeio
his !ips, he spoke audibly. ,
"1 was dreaming, Mary, as we war
happy with God. The children had enow
to eat; they give me my good nam agen;
an we war all very happy. '.After a pause,
ond much internal ' mattering, he resumed
a susceptible spirit of energy, although his
pent powers made him scarcely aud:bh?
HJh, Mr. Godfrey, if more.wouldr like thee,
only come and seethe poor, and. what they
surfers I '. Tell the lads, sir,' to wait a bit--'
but to straggle on, for there is hope tor the
working man. An' bid the rich folks con
sider the laborer, an' - the parsons to be all
like thee, n England will be right.' - Ma

rate had ' bent his knees in ' prayer, and
comforted the dying and the desolate.
.' There bad evidently been preparations
io receive him. ,', The clay floor was new
ly spfSIed and swept," the Jew articles of
crockery and china, nearly nil mil happen,
or otherwise defective, were as clean as Jthe
pebbles in a river.' The children's faces
hands and feet for they bad no shoes
were all fresh from the washing-basiir.and
heir hair was sleekly ccmbed acrcss their
foreheads. 1 here was evident poverty
but an equally . evident wish to conceal it
Not a vestige of furniture or ornarnent'was
in theroom beyond the few articles of earth
enware mentioned; all the rest) 10 the'thre-
legged stool for the baby had either; been
sold or burnpd for fuel. Th re were three
or four h -ssocks of hay for seats' bat these
too, had been preyed on for funL and rati
out ut the sides; - and there Were some lay
ers of chip; ed dried up straw, as a be f in
the corner. On this wes stretched the dy
ing, man. f.The eldest boy ran lo borrow n
chir as- Mr.' Godfrey ent red, the thrifty
housewife ha 1 just drawn the old rags from
.the three lower panes of the gtasdless and
only window in -the hovel, to let the sun
and air in. This was the abode cf an Eng
lishman in the heart of ngland.
, lhe patient had been propped up some
what on his draw, and a neighbor 'had
shaved him and lent him a 6h;rt, which
ihouffh ohf, was clean, j; So," what with
We i-washed skin and combed hair, and a
cup of refreshing ita, he was prepared to
receive the curate s visit in s rnethiog of a
decnt and christian manner. ; One of the
boys was in or rather on, the bed -for there
was no covering from sheer nakedness.
He partly resiled " in the' straw and was
pnrtly concealed by the rugs taken frorr
th window; he was contented and happy,
for he had the blessing of a full 'meal' a rari
ty in the hut of the dying potter. " -'' ..' -:
The curate took the cnair borrowed tor
him, placed it by the bedsiie, and leaned
towards the sick man. "v
'Well James, how do you feel now V.
Belter, sir, thank you, but still weak.
Goi will t less you for what "you ha'
done. '1 is many a long day im' I could
prove my gratification io nnybedy.'
TSever mind that, lhe searcher ot ail
hearts knows intentions, James."
Yes true I But d'ye think God heeds
a poor critter like me ?
Undoubtedly.. Our father.' . .
Ah! Good good. Bui I never found
a true friend but Him and yourself, s:r
they all forsook and mishelied me. I nev
er was as bad as people made me; He
knows that, and the children. One's hearth,
is a fuir assize.' -f,; . 1 '
'True, a fond husband an I a kin ! fathrr
cannot be a very bad "uiftn. 1 never be
lieved you ill-disposed, Fielding. r
'No, bless thee for it, and He will blesi
t ee. Ye ha' made me a christian; the ways
o' lhe world made me an infidel long ago.
A rcan kindly treated, feelj like a christian
sir.' r.- " " "''' ,;
'But we must give up resentiments, now.
I s: by yonr cointenance yon will soon
meet: your God. Prepare, Fielding, for
that great judgment.'
'Yes, 1 know it will come soon, an' that
ha' changed n e'. But, ' indeed, sir, l ain,
awenrj of the world. If it was not fur her
and the children,-1 had gone jears back.'
: 'The christian re igion always supposes
poverty and suffering, James. Were , all
the world sinless and nappy, the atonement
had been useless.'
I can well believe thisin o' thee sir. - If
yer were dumb an1 blind, yer bau' would
preaeb; 'tis the on'y sarmit as goes home
to a hungry mart. Fine words be o small
account. But when a rich parson, or a
bishop or such, as never gives an'; never
suffers, tells starvein poor fellows like me
to bear their crosses, s the only road to
heaven, it looks like humbug sir.- i!lf hea
ven ij to be ' won by ' poverty- sartiotly
nothing is so easy for 'em as to give all the
ha' more than enow, to feed lbs hungry,
an' comfort the afflicted.'
Ah, James, this is bad grace in a dying
man. It is enough for everv- one to look
to himself; to bear his own burden, and, tj
know that in the midst of trial, and sor
row, and - suffering, he can have recourse
to One who knew them all on earth. This,
surely, is fair comfort., .. .- r , 4
; 'If it be, sir. . .'Tis at the point I am at
now, a man feels he must believe in some
religion, an' there is noue so nat'rat like as
our own. A. dyin' man is "not a doubter
1 wish I ha been o this "way o' thinkin'
long ago 'twould ha' made me content

a regular man ji a toilsome man, an' a
toilsome man is a thriving man; but -when
o.e begings in grumblin' on ends wi sor
row. Mary dear gi ' me a drink. ' I feel
faiutish. The curate took the teapot from
the yearning and attentive wife's band, and
the fevered patient, from the broken spout
held to his motttb, drained the vess.-l greed
ily till the few leaves at the strainer whiz
zed with their dryness. Ashe drank, God
frey had an opportunity of observing bis
countenance. 'This man,' said he to him
self, ?was formed for a loftly ; destiny, , but
with him ignorance bos marred nature.
When will man vindicate lhe purposes of
God io his fellows? When will J England
provide education for all hr people? As
these thoughts passed rapidly through the
pastor's mind, the, sick man spoke with a
pained voice, :: but 'with renewed "energy .
'the spirit war willing but the flesh war
weakwell, sir, I know 1 am a dyrnV"!

Tis like a dark night there be none about

; "Keep your eyes steadily on your guid
ing star, James. That light sufficeth."
I believe sir: O L"rd help my unbe

Thank Heaven for. those words, said
the curate; "and now. Fielding, sine- jou

you one thing that will lighten your last

EX-PRESIDJEXT PIEBCE ASD .MRS: PIERCE
' K IN MAUEIliA
The New Hampshire Patriot has an
interesting letter, dated Funchal, Island
of Madeira,-Dec. 30 1857, from which
we extract the totiowins notice ot ex-
Prefideut Pierce aud Mrs. Pierce, who
were . passeneers . with the writer ou
board the United States steamship Povs
Hattdri iot' that ; Island. The writer
says
It will be gratifying to the numerous
friends of Mrs, Pierce, for indeed .Ibave
yet to learn nvbb lis not, to hear that she
bore the voyage, . whit . surmising, forti
tude: and thousn prostrated some days
by a rough sea, rallied agum. and reach
ed Madeira in as good, hea.tn as .whei
she left the U. States- For a consider
able part of the passage she walked the
deck dailyj and. with so firm and elastic
a step as to surprise as well as gratify
those who knew her, exceeding- delica
cy and frailty She seemed to enjoy
the ocean scenery, and the movements
of the shin, and the drill and muster of
the men : and" when on the Sabbath
morning she woke up 'bVeafhing the
balmy air of Madeira, the, church ; bells
softly pea Hue upon her ear?, and the
proud mountains and pictruesque scene-
ryDiirsTing upon nereves, ner spirtisiu
stantty rallied, and the next day she cs-
laDiisnea nersen in ner new uuuie auu
a most charming one it is. ' ' ;: " "' ' .
The writer states that should Mrs.
Pierce's health limproved by a5; win
ter's I afesidencH in 'Mideifa;! General
Pierce proposes visiting Spain and Italy
iii ihe:nmmervand may indeed protract
his travels oh the continent beyond a
year. . The .writer thus describes the
soeno in the harbor of Funchal pn the
departure of the ex-President from" the
ship : . ;' ; .-'.-,'L-
The yards all manned, tile marines
drawn up under arm, and the men sta
tioned at the immense guns, while the
band in their rtd jackets, were read y to
strike up the music. Arm-in-arm vthe
General and Mis. Pierce walked to the
gangway, wlicre Capt. Pearson's boat
awaited them when General Pierce sud
denly stepped, turned about arid uncov
ered, aud addressed both ' officers' and
men in one of the jieatcst, most pertin
ent and eloquent speeches which, as the
officers confessed, they ever heard.
Captain P. arson briefly and tensihly
replied in behalf of himself aud his fel
low officers, and when the boat , was
fairly tinder way, the guns roared such
a thiuider stDrm as 1 never " heard ter
rible even without thunderbolts and bul
lets. The reverbations from the moun
tains, the peaks and the immense gor
ges were admirable, rolling abotit and
upwards and backwards, and intermnig
ling till it could not be told whence they
started. The whole mountain seemed
to shake. Reaching the shore, a carri
age awaited tnem ; irke tne ton ot an

President of the United States and ; his
fair and honorable lady entered, nothing

Dr. Bfandreib, the pill man, recently
purchased a tuby for 8250, at the salo of
smuggled jewelry by the United States

Oriental ruby of the first water.
A Utah co respondent writes a N. York
piper, tn-u -ts snop jnnson ot &pringneii,
