thatch leaked, and there was scarcely a spot in the
cabin perfectly dry. It reouired all Biddy’s time

The birds didn’t ring this morning, the road wm
Wet, the mist.cold and penetrating, and ppor Dora,
bo “ weary” as she expressed it, that the \jay seemed
Tew long.
"
‘
ItVas with difficulty she could drag herself for­
ward, and her only hope lav in the kindness of tiie
old neighbors, who knew tnefn in better days.
At last she caught sight of the little church. It
was of stone, very ancient and covered with ivy,
and stood closc to the burying ground.
“ There is the church. Jemmy, darlint—Fm sor­
ry you can’t 6ce it with yourW n eyes, but its the
same, honey, where mammy used to go Sundays.”
“ Dodo see it, Dodo see it!” said Jemmy, de*
jghted at her speaking more cheerfully, for he had
become infected witli urn sadness of the sister.
“ And there’s dear father’s grave)" said the little
girl, “ we'll go and sit beside it.”
They crept through a gap in the wall, and Dora
sat down by the rude cross, and leaned her head
upon it. Jemmy stood near her with his hand
upon her head. 11Dodo’s hot,” said lie.
“ Yes, darlint, Fm burning with the heat.” She
took the bread which she had saved, and put it in
Jemmy’s hands. “ Eat it Jemmy, its good."* The
little boy was pleased with the treat, and sitting
down on a stone which Dora had placed for him,
he began to eat.
.
Dora's fever fit passed away, and for .a moment
she felt a cold chill creeping over her, then- her
head became dizzy, everything around seemed in
motion, and she sunk down upon the damp grass;
poor wearied nature was exhausted, and tne little
girl lay prostrate on her father’s grave «in a deadly
swoon.
CHAPTER VIL
“ T H E G O O D H U E S T .”
‘
When Jemmv had finished eating his bread, he
ut out his hand towards the Bpot where Dora had
een sitting. , lie felt the wooden cross, but the
soft brown hair oil which his hand loved to rest,
was not there. He groped around until he found
the prostrate form, and passing his hand over her
face, he perceived, by the sense of touch, that the
eyelids were closed.
“ Dodo sleep,"lie whispered to himself, and,
feeling the little sfiawl which had fallen down, he
very gently spread it over her, and sat down again
on the stone, scarcely moving at all, lest he should
disturb her slumber.
Some hours passed; the sun had come out, and
dried up the moisture on the grass; little Jemmy
felt the warm sunbeams, and put out his hands to
catch them. Soon he became weary, for the light
and warmth went away, and he knew it was darker
and colder, lie bent down to Dora’s ear.
“ Wake up, sissy— Jemmy, tired.”
■
There wa» no answer, and he touched his lips to
her cheek.
“ Dodo, Dodo, wake up— Jemmy"cbld and
tirei?'
Tne cheek he- touched was icy cold. He took
her hand to put around his own neck, as she was
wont to do do. It fell lifeless by her side. A
strange fear seized the little fellow, and he cried a
loud, bitter cry. Alnsl there came no answer,
save the cawing of the twittering rooks, on the
little quaint tower of the old church, and the whis­
per of the evening breeze among the branches of
the ve,w trees, in the yard. Again the child knelt
down, and raising his sister's head in his little
arms, he said, in a plaintive voice,
..
■
Please, sissy, wake up—Jemmy tired.”
Just then, the churchyard gate creaked QJV Ir*
E
feffiSjfto H m m b w & W m ' a Tghted‘’L tern
came out of the church. Jemmy heard the foot­
steps approaching, and with another earnest cry,
he pressed his cheek to his sister’s.
“ Please, Dodo, wake.”
The man heard the voice, and holding his lan­
tern aloft, came forward in the direction of the
sound. It was Father Doherty. As his' light fell
on the children, he at once rpcognized Dora.
“ How came you here, little ones P”
The voice was kind and gentle, and Jemmy, a
little reassured, said, •
“ Sissy ’sleep; please wake sissy ?”
The good priest bent over the little girl. He
felt her pulse, placed his ear to lier mouth, and
then laid his hand on her heart
“ Poor child!” he said, “ I wish I had come here
two hours ago. Little boy, can-you carry the lan­
tern ? I will take sissy up.”
“,Me no see lantern. Jemmy no 6ee at all.”
“ Merciful God!” exclaimed the priest, as he
came nearer and examined the child. “ Take
hold of my gown, Jemmy, while I carry Dora,” he
said.
Then placing the lantern on a high tombstone,
vhe bore the little girl towards the 6nurch, the door
of which stood open. He..laid her gently on a
cushion, and procured a little wine which he forced
into her mouth, and this, with the aid of friction,
soon caused the sufferer to open her eyes, but she
only gazed wildly around her a moment, and closed
them again. The priest continued his exertions,
little Jemmy, itf~the meanwhile, standing by, still
grasping tightly the good man’s gown. . '
Again Dora opened her eyes, and this time she
said, in a low voice, as if she had hardly breath-to
articulate, “ Jemmy.” The little boy laid his hand
in hers;; a pleasant smile passed over Dora’s face,
and again her eyes closed, while her hand still
grasped that of her little brother.
— —
Tne priest’s house was near; and as soon as Dora
]had revived sufficiently to understand where she
wac, Father Doherty tore her in his arms, and
; laid.her on his own bed, Jemmy keeping his hold
npon,his dress, but keeping very quiet, as the good
priest told him it would .make sissy sick u he
' ried.
,
. . . . . .
.It jvas not until Dora’s head was laid upon the
pillow, and Jemmy had dropped asleep, with his
hand in hers, that the priest thought o f his errand
to the chwcnyard, and then came the puzzling
question—What shall I do with these children P
His housekeeper lay a corpse in the next room,
and it was to select a spot for her grave, and’to see
the old sexton «who lived on the oppositeiside of
the chune^yard, that he had gone out that even­
ing. Tue only dweller in the house beside/ was a
bed-ridden sister the fever was spreading rapidly
in the village, and ,as he watched the. httle girl
tossing so restlessly about in a troublcd- ilcep, he
felt sure that she too had the disease.
, He would gladly have taken care of-the little
.ones himself, but, alasJ he was poor) very poor, for
he would not take from^ his suffering _flock more
than was neceBsary for his own simple living. They
were already burdened with church rates and
taxes, and now that, sickness was in their midst,
the struggle to obtain food enough to support life
Was very nard. He gave some simple remedies to
Dora, and then sat down in his big oak chair to
collect his scattered thoughts.
••
’ “ Yes,” he stud to himself, “ the hospital will be
best for them, and' a word from me will ensure
kindness to the patient. But the poor blind boy

A few evenings subsequent Helen'sat in her own
room, lost in thought over the following letter from
Arthur Itivers:—
'
“ Dearest Helen,— When I tell you that I love
you earnestly and devotedly, with dll the strength
and truth o f my nature; it is but a revealing of that
which has dwelt in my heart'-'for years— A love
whose .music the storm-winds o f anguish may
never drown, whose light the floods of Borrow
might never quench.
■
“ I loved you, Helen when we were together in
tho blessed days gone by.. Of my spirit’s subse­
quent trials I will not now speak. They arc past;
and you know with what feelings I left my village
home, and went with my uncle to Oxford, the city
of his residence.
It was shortly after my arrival
that a hope was held out to me— one that never
had entered into m y dreams of the future— that of
a cure o f my lameness; nnd for this purpose, I was
laced under the care of eminently skilful surgeons,
could never express to you the almost, wild joy,
the fullness of gratitude that filled nil my soul, as I
felt myself, week after week, growing stronger and
freer— when at last without even a cane to assist
my steps, I walked forth into the world. Life
seemed a fresh gift, a new and untried power; and
hopes and aspirations that I had crushed into
silenco, rose again with renewed strength.
“ I was successful in my university studies. My
uncle hnd assured me more than once that the
wealth Lavished so freely on me now would one day
be m ine; and, with all my new joys, Helen, there
stole into my heart 'visions of love and of you. !
thought of your stately father', 'with his pride of
birth and station, w d my cheek glowed with th?
consciousness that 1 could now offer lilm a name
which could rank with his own, and that there was
wealth at my command for its support
“ But such thoughts entered not into my dreams
o f you. There came many shadowing fears..
Young and Ijgnutiful as you Were, might not your
heart long ere this .have been given to some noble
one among the many.who would seek your hand?
And, a h ! even were you free, could I hope, that
because I loved you so passionately, I should-be.
loved in return ? But yet I cherished the blessed
thought in the radianco which had been let in upon
my heart; its freed fountains were leaping and
sparkling, nnd’ I let them have their way.
_ “ My uncle was going to Brighton on a short
visit, and I accepted-his kind invitation to accom­
pany him. It was the day after our arrival, that I
■was-sitflrig at the window o f tho hotel, looking out
upon the busy throng in the King’s Hoad. 1 wns
thinking of you, joying to know that we breathed
the same air, that ere night I Bhould stand in your
presence. I heard attention called to a lady who
nad just alighted from a carriage close b y .' I look­
ed with the rest Helen, it was you 1 And, oh 1
how beautiful you were! You lingered for a mo­
ment on the steps, all unconscious of the admiring
eyes that were bent upon you. ‘ Who is she?’
were the eager inquiries all about me. There was
an answer:— 1The oeautiful Miss Grahame; and she
is engaged to Colonel Harrington!’
“ The, words rang on my BenseB like the rushing
o f water in' the ears o f a drowning man. I felt
faint and dizzy, and I put up my hand to clear the
mist that seemed gathering before my eyes. B ut
by a strong effort, 1 overmastered the rush o f feel­
ing, and rallied m y strength to wait for one more
ghmpse ofthft face, which I then thouglftpl should
look upon for the 'last time. At this instant two
gentlemen came up the street, and stopped as they
saw the waiting carriage. One was your father;
the other, I heard it spoken, was Colonel Harring­
ton. They lingered there for your reappearance;
and at length you came forth. Colonel Harrington
handed you to your carriage; both entered after
you— the door w a r shut—*and you drove awiay.
Ah, Helen, the darkness that my heart knew at
that moment 1 AH its radiance vanished, all its
rushing tides driven back to their source I M y
uncle wondered at my listlessness, at the sadness
I could not at all conceal; while I longed only
to be onco more nt home, -once more immersed in
those studies which I never again would leave,
those studies which must now wholly engross me.
“.And thus have glided by the past eighteen
months. Early in this spring, I was ordained, and
came as curate to this place; and, in the society of
its refined people, and amid the arduous yet pleas­
ant duties o f their pastor, I have known as nju6h
o f happiness os was possible for me to enjoy.
" Before vour arrival, I had heard o f the failure
o f the rich Mr. Grahame; and my heart had been
awakened to a sympathy for you, though the mis­
fortune could not fall heavily on you— a bride— as
I now suppose you to be. How I heard o f your
nrrivalin this village, you know. When I heard
also that you were Miss Grabame-without a thought
I yielded to my first impulse, and hastened to your
side I
“ Oh, Helen! will you love meP— will you ac­

have said your life was to bo devoted to your
father; but Helen, would he not bo m y father also

. The projeot o f ereoting a monument to the mem­
ory o f John Howard Payne, in one o f the oemteries
in our vicinity, which-has been revived by a
leading journal, is'one thi^t'deserves^attention, and
:we trust that it will meet with moro success than
usually is accorded to things of this kind. Payne
was one of the earliest of those American writers
who won reputation, as well abroad os at home, in
the , early days of the country, and when it was
hardly thought a possible thing for an American to
excel in letters. He was an associate of .Brorhelm
Brown, the earliest, and perhaps the ablest, of
Amerioan novelist^, an d: had. been known- nearly
half a century ago, when Bryant was a boy, and
Irving a young man, and long ere Cooper had been
heard of. His plays, of various kinds, were all
productions of more than common merit, in an age
that was remarkable for its dramatists. They yet
keep possession o f the stage, and are seen with
pleasure. His poetry is of a high order, and one
o f his songs will be as lasting as the language to
whioh it belongs, even should all else that he wrete
pass away. Yet he wa^ but ill rewarded,, and had
the usual familiarity of genius with the res anguitiee
d mi. The least we can do for him, now that he is
dust, is to build him a monument. It would be the
old story— to give a stone where we have denied
bread. .
.
.
’
Whether the monument will be. built,'or will be
only one o f the jnany things that take rank with
castles in the air,whosha]l say? The monumental
dodge is one that we Americans are mighty fond gf,
but we are not so . fond pf paying for the actual
monuments, in whioh respect we are exactly, like
the rest o f :the fctttqan raoe; : There ia hardly A man
'or'arf^e’W'titrJn our history; t<Tbr'lbr'%Moh, we have
not vote? ft' monument, but the number of such
monuments that exist out o f the resolutions vot­
ing them is, comparatively speaking small.—
Some wag has calculated that it would take
all the marble and granite in the country, to
build the monuments that we have voted to build,
and that it would be' a. serious evil i f we were
to keep our plighted faith to the illustrious dead.
This is an exaggeration, but it is an exaggeration
only o f the truth, and hits off one o f our weak­
nesses.'
In moments o f exaltation, and when our minds
are impressed with a high sense o f the importance
o f certain deeds, and o f the merits bf those jvho
performed them, we are very apt to declare that
they shall be rewarded In that fashion to which na­
tions ordinarily have' resort, when wishing to ex­
press their gratitude.' Monuments then rise, in
our mind’s eye, to the skies, and' no thought is
given to their cost. Yet as our minds cool down,
the monuments come down. We begin to econo­
mise, and finally march to the conclusion, that the
conclusion that tho most fitting monument for a
great man, or a great deed, is 11the historib page,”
where land is cheap, and where san indefinite num­
ber o f pantheons, temples, columns, and so forth,
can be placed, without the disbursement of a penny.
After all, we ask ourselves, what it a monument
but a mass of stone, a little differently arranged
from, what it would have been if the monument had
never been built? I s 'it any thing beyond a pieco
o f ostentation made visible ? And then we philoso­
phize—or think we: do, which is practically tho
same thing—about the builders o f the pyramids,
and other gentlemen who sought to make them­
selves immortal by their doings in the monumental
way, and succeeded only in affording a great deal
o f material for a great deal o f work for thoso portentoud b b fts ,i^ e ‘ift tl^ liH a W /^ o ’ we end^very
complacently, b y doing tyothing, and save our
monoy.
Occasionally we do build a monument, by way of
variety, but it is quite as muoh time’s doing as
ours, and is accomplished only after an indefinite
amount 6f squabbling, and a very largo display of
Bhabbincss. Those who lay the corner-stone, do not.
always live to see the .column crowned. Bunker,
Hill Monument may tako rank with our best puhllo
works o f tho kind, but between the beginning of
the work on It and tho completion thereof, bbirly
twenty years passed away. Many o f the originat­
ors and promoters of tho undertaking, in the mean­
time, went to join the heroes in w hosi honor they
had labored. Every possiblo means w r ? m brted
to in order tb'get monoy for the: purpose. >' Even a
lottery was talked of. A t la st/ Individual munifipence and a fancy fair dfd the business. and, oighfeea-yearti after Lafayctte hail'laid the first stono,

Boston Theatbb.—Miss Avonh Jones succeeded
Matilda Heron, making her first' appearance before
a Boston 'audience as Parthenia.- Although there
were occasional glimpses o f talent in her perform­
ance o f the oharacter, yet we could see little to en­
title her to the position she assumes. We have too
many so called 11 B tars” already, and i f Miss Jones
would ever reach eminence in tbe profession she has
chosen, she must be content to fall back to the
lower walks of the drama, and' become a patient,.
diligent student. After ycarp of toil, she may suc­
ceed to the throne now filled only by those who
have attained it through the same means.
' While speaking o f the performance o f Ingomar,
we oannot refrain from asking why Mr. Belton
should assume such a character as Ingomar? The
gentleman must be aware that he renders himself
simply ridioulous to the audience in suqh assump-'
tions. We have witnessod many attempts at trag­
edy, by noviceB and others, but can recollect noth­
ing so laughably absurd,-as tho last performance
of .Ingomar.' We trust t h a t 'if Mr. Belton is to
remain' in the company- another season a position
more adapted'to his abilities will be assigned him.-'
We hear a rumor that George Pauncefort, is to
hold the position vacated by Mr. Belton. This is
“ jumping out o f tho frying-pan into the fire,’ ’ with"
a vengeance. We hope Mr. .Barry will thiuk better
of it.

our opinion of Miss Jones, and we trust that,
weighing the advice of a few partial friends in a

commencing at the right point achieve a higher-po­
sition, than she can ever hope to fill, by pursuing
her present course. WeBhall gladly ohroniole her,

so severe in science that it raises its votaries above
the ordinary influences 'of humanity, and that they
live in a pure and elevated moral atmosphere to which
base thoughts can never penetrate. But this idea.how
pleasing soever in itself, is without any good fount
dation. Not only ha^fecientifio men quarrelled
even diabolically,among themselves, but they have
very.often led the way in. those attacks on others
whioh originated :in a desire to prevent the

The persons by whom Mr. Willis has been sus­
pended, apparently acted ih oollusion with Heustis,
or else they are the merest bigots that, live. Their
proceedings when he was under examination
would have reflected disgrace upon the. worst
legal tribunal that ever was oomposed o f pet­
tifogged. There was nothing manly in their con­
duct. They had condemned Mr. Willis before the
examination .was commenced, and that examination
was devoted to the distortion of facts, in order that
they might find the color of a pretence fbr venting
their hatred upon him.. Their .proceedings were
oonduoted on the prinoiple of compelling him to provo
that he was not guilty of fraud and deception, when
it was their business to show that he was guilty,
and, failing tb do so, pronounce him free o f all buspioian of guilt.

’ t h o u g h t AND AOTIOltT*
The distinction between thought and aotion'is
not a distinction o f genera, but o f species.
Thought is aotton of another kind, and action bo
called, is, in every rational being, nay, striotly in
everything, .the expression of thought. The first
proposition, that thought is action, seems more
doubted in faot, and by implication, than in ex­
press form, for the act that never finds a physical
expression, ip without evidenoe to testify its exist­
ence.
’
Everything is approaohable, but by mediation of
its kind. Pure revery, and wordless aspiration,
unuttered reason, and disembodied feeling, ;can
find no conscious reception in the senses, till .they
are themselves organized, with sensuous forms.
The dreamer then, the philosopher of ideas rather
than things, the .poet and the enthusiast, floating
in soft atmospheres'of inexpressible thought, are to
the eyes o f sensible men, mere good-for-noughts,
idlers that drink God’s sunshine without so muoh
as wafting bloom-sweetness on the desert.air. .
But the-poet knows, and tho lover knows, that
the dream-world is a world of- life, too, and mute
thought works, and the world o f men is wiser for
even the unuttered wisdom o f the-thinker, is bet­
ter for the deep wordless love that moves the pulses
of the legalist. The nerve-telegraph between soul
and sense, is but dimly understood, even i n , the in­
timate relation whioh they hear in our‘ bodily liveaf
still less has it been appreciated as a sub-marine
communication across the gulf of death, whe^o for
the great mass o f lives here, its existenoe has rare­
ly been suspeoted.

well try. I’ve got a long yarn to spin some time,
and if I don’t begin, 1 shall never get through. I

Charlestown, and her name'was Baker. She mar­
ried a man by that name. He had plenty o f money,
and owned the vessel I sailed in, I wasn’ t captain
— hadn’t got to that then. The last I heard of my
mother and two sisters, they lived in Dorohoster. I
died of fever, in a foreign land. I went to sea, a
great many times, and got caught at last. Now
you see I want to oommunloate to my friends, if I
oan. I have a father with mo in the spirit land.
Did you ever; hear o f a turpentine manufacturer?
Well, that was my father’s business. I have been
here, ai nigh at I can tell, five years, I start 'd for
California, got wrecked, and was in the water a
number of hours with a fellow, and was saved. I
then started on another voyage, and took fever and
died.

Do you know Thomas Whittemore ? So do 1,'beoauBe he was a relative of mine—he was cousin'to
my father. My mother was poor—somo of her re­
lations wore rich, and they ohoso to look down upon
her. I did not like that, and don’ t like it any bet­
ter now. She was as good as they, and better—a
good mother, and a good'woman.
'
My oldeBt sister taught school, before she was
married; her name was Ellen Whittemore, before
she was married. I had two'small'sisters—one
named Sarah, and the other Sophronia. My folks
are all Universalists; my mother belongs to that
ohuroh, so did my father. Well, they are on pretty
safe ground; but they do not see as they ought to
— they are better off than some of the people. My
name is Alfred A. Whittemore. I sent a message to
Thomas, once, and he denied m e; he lives in Cam­

paper for my mother.
