The next morning, an she pned the shabby bouse of Ihe ftutmra, ( which stood a considerable dW'ntico abov the rad, nnd had a cold, desolate appearance, oven the yoiimr snininer,) she saw little llnhhih silting on the banking nt tin home renter, with her short apron tn her eyes na though crying.

Another day, und Charity Sumnor wna wending her wny to school, which hy by the side of a bright mountain at renin, hurrying over its bpd of dnrk s'ones, and ho sang aloud in the glndneas of her heart to the tinkling watern, when suddenly an odd shadow fell at her side, and a tall 1-ink man parsed swiftly, with a rough Utile coffin nn his shoulder. His eyes rested on her for n moment dark, deep set nnd like a half quench od fire. II r joy und sung wero gone in an instant, for she knew him for the miserable father nf poor little George, and sho wntrhed his hurried and uneven slops, till n jailing rock hid him. Th ere wero no children to bo seen about the drenry old limine, that morning, but tho blackamiih'i wife seemed to bo the only moving creature, ns alio passed in and out in n clean dreas, her sh oves turned back, ami an npron lied about her. Tho bright sun threw distinct shadows of the old house and ils single chimney down the bnro yard, and as Chnrlty crept through tho lenning hnra and entered ihe shadow, It seemed too cool, nnd ho shivered, for she thought how cidd it1 was down in tho bottom of the little grave, even in tho summer lime. She gently entered, and Iho children all cimio nround her, nil but 0110 nnd the baby. Their mother sat wilh him in a lilllo torn garment, leaning her faeo upon him ns sho presed him, swaying to and fro, or Fitting gnzingvncimtly while bo pull. eu at itio tuocd irmgo ot her black dress slnevo. In IhochiiniiDy corner, almost in the ashes of the ex tinguished fire, sat n very otd woman on thoonlychnir, pnlo and sltll, with lingers locked over her brenst, and 10 pour eyes were sightless, nnd she sat in her dnrk- iipss stnifgling with yet another grief heaped mi tho old, the blind, the poor, Ihe widowed, and tho worse than childless. Sho had tillered no word or cry since her little favorite had been brought in stark nnd wot, and hi id upon her bed. She had all nbmg gently resisted the attempts of tho blacksmith's wife to put' across her yellowed cap a piece of black ribbon, nnd thnt worthy in despair appealed in whispers to Charily for her interference. " Now, how it looks, and whnt will folks think if slip n ir.it ono of the mounters? I Imvo been nt her all Ihe morning, but she only nt still nnd shook her head." told Miss Rami sho might wear rnv gound in wel- coiup, and it lonk very well, yon see." lho women wero about of a height, and the dress waa wide enough, all but the skirl, wlih h was cored. and h id never received any alteration but a pair of new sleeves and enpo trimmed wilh modern fringe. Tho waist, a " world too widp," had been ingeniously stoiiea uown wim a Kelt, ami lay annul tier in irre gular plaits. ittle Huliliih had been sent out to scour tho ncih- lorhood for more ribbon, ami now came in with sev eral pieces nf various width, and in various stales nf preservation, which tho indefutignbln women procecd- 'U to tastoti around each girl's neck, which done, she 1 surveyed wilh much complacency, declaring l hat every thing looked quito decent now, and sh would go mo and liavo her husbnnd come with another neigh- r and put him in the collin. Charity was about to go too, thinking when this was over sho would not forgot some things she might do for , uiem, imt Mnlduh reached for her hand and led ihe way to a little bedroom where tho outlines of the mall body sho ved chillingly through the coarse snowy j ieoi 01 their tiusiiing neighbor. Little Iltihbdi turned j away from his face, and then wilh strenminc eves. which the rnnstntiily rubbed with the b irks of her two haiidt, sho tut tied her fuco to the wnll whileCh-T-iiy looked upon the pretty young face that seemed as sleep Ind settled over i nuhcr than death. She knew little n'tnut sorrow or poverty, and alio thoiiL'ht bill ono hail been taken in mercy where there is no 111010 hunger und mid or harsh words, that Ihe ild of (lie drunkard knows best. She turned lo go, ln-ti she found die mother by her side, regarding him at placidly. I here is mingled wilh the deenes' rief of the heart, n kind of joy nnd ihnhWgiving Hint the beloved is fnirly pnnt the Jordan of Death. The mother's unilving itmlernvMs would not lay down her own cross of suffering to bring tho young spirit again ;o U10 strug-les und hearthreaks of life. Tiio one turned aw;iy to her work, und the other. with n sickening heait, lo try und live on. On the breezy lull, back of the house, n tittle grave was opened.

Notwithstanding the repented efforts of sm h travelers a Bruce, Turk, Dunham, Chupper-ton Led yard mid Lander, the interior of the country has been in a great measure h aculed book to ihe Enro-p nn discoverer. A glance at tho latent map yet published of the country designated as Hihiopia, extend ing from the Mountain's of the Moon to iho tiopic of Capricorn, will present to Hie eye an almost dead blank; and whatever is inserted is nvido up more from the uncertain accounts obtained from tho unlives Mian from any well authenticated and reliable sources. Many important discoveries, however, have very recently been made in Hint benighted portion of the globe, and preparations are on foot to pudi discovery thro ighotit the continent, both north and souih, the results of which will bo of vast imporlnncu to tho researches of phyicnl science. A Into English paper Hays: " A map of that country is about to be published, comprising the whole region from the equator to nine, teen degrees of south latitude.

Lieutenant MacLeod, of the Hoy it 1 iVavy, proposes to ascend the Niger in a strum-hunch, nnd when up Iho country to cross over to nnd descend the (hmhria, with a view to discover new sources of trade; and Mr. Mnrgregor Lain! ii still rendy to carry a vessel up nny river of the western const to which Government may plenso to send him. " Besides tho travelers mentioned, thero are others pushing their wny in dihVrent parts id tho south; nnd tho Kretich am not idle in the norlli ; iln-y have added lo our information concerning Abys.-inin and the countries bordering on the Great Desert. Hut, in addition to African geography, nil these oxplorntions have added to our knowledge of African geology. A vast portion of Hie interior is supposed to have been an inland sea, of which Ngami and other lakes nre the remains ; foBsil bones of most peculiar clmracier have been found, but only of terrentiul nnd fresh water uniimils.

But I neglecled to mention the Inst resting place of the dishonored Ncy 1 his last act sullied thn glory nf his whole career, ami his remains rest without nn inscription to tell of his form or glory or later dishonor. The tombs are many of them in the 1 form of a chap!, with was candles, crucifix, &o., and 1 in some I observed paintings. U would indeed seem that this was i spot where, surrounded by the evidence ot mortality, in one of these lomn where repose tne dust of dear friends, oue might for a lime forgot Hie vanity of the world, and breatho a pure prayer lo tne Great Snirit. , An occasional English inscription would speuk of one, perhaps a lellow countryman, who find tiroaiueii his last far from the homo of his faihers. Thero wan somoihing singularly impressive to me in finding Ihe tomb of an American in thi laud of strangers; although perhaps it would strike one that there was no spot which he would prefer as a In-t resting-place to this, where all seems to have been done to rob the tomb ot il terror. The garlands which hang upon the tombs are continually changed so as to give them all the freshness of perpetual bloom, and simple flowers cover the graves ot Hie lowly dead, where perhaps a sontury wooden cross marks their last resting place, us sym bolical of their religious faith. How strange is it that wo should carry our thoughts fortius earthly tenement, even hey on d tho existence in which it serves us. Yet so it is, mid lo me there i un iiuleHcribablo dread of being buried avvuy from my country, even iu a place like this. The very inscriptions upon ihe monument, so beautiful in themselves, yet speak a taiiguuge foreign to our ear, and breathe a spirit of roliLjioiia faith lo which we cannot aubaci iba. How much is contained in those few words of benediction, " Mny you die among your kindred." Whnt avails it to him who is fust failing from earth that the atmosphere about him is bland, that the How-era which bloom in his pathway are beautiful, or even that hUdwolling is perfumed by the breezes of Arabia they only remind him the more ol his own land. I observed here a very striking simplicity in many of the irscripiions, vizt " rejioie ma mellieure amie e ttaii mamerci'' and slill mere simple, "Mon Pete,' Ma Mere, and "Machere ami and again, " Ma pmtvre Pauline." How simple, Ik.w beautiful what room for the imagination. Was she young T beautiful?
