HASTINGS WELD. " I do believe," said a gentleman to hia wife, " that if a Derfcct human character ever criited, it is that of your plnoid and cheerful, yet sad- looiang menu, sue seems too goon lor eann so Dractical and vet ethereal; so full of common sense, usefulness and compassion, and yet herself above all common desires and disappoint- mentR." " Hers is a history. Shall I relate it V " Pray do so. I only wonder that you have not given me the narrative before." " Men are always disposed to disparage maiden ladies: and I never felt like exposing Urnestiue Gray's touching character to even the shadow of a smiio. it 18 one oi my suuruu tuuuie!, ut uuiy for a guest hour like this, when the shadow of her almost saintly presence his disposed the mind to contemplate the higher beauties of the Christian character; the Truth and Love which In their purity makes us realize the heavenly influence of Christian life." The character which you so much admired, and po justly, is ono that has been perfected through suffering. What I am about to tell yoa is not her confession, formally made to me in an hour of confidence ; for Ernestine Gray is not of those who are addicted to obtruding their private griefa upon their friends, and challenging admiration cf their martyrdom. Nor does she regard herself as at all notable or remarkable. In her quiet humility, she would be very much surprised that I can find patience to rt count, or that you can be interested iu hearing the events of her life. In the course of her pilgrimage we may see only suffering; but in each event she discerns the goodness of God la permitting her to be useful to her kind, and schooling her by the discipline of eorrow, to calmness of spirit and strength of religious character. What I know of her I have learned chiefly of others; and her accidental allusions to herself have only enauica me to correct ana connect the narrative. I first met with her a few years since, during the prevalence of a disease among children, which was so severe as almost to take the character of an epidemic. Tho wealthy could remove their children from the Influence of the infection, or disarm disease of a portion of its terrors by the provision of remedies nnd the comforts of attendance and suitable nourishment and palliatives. But the poor deprived ol all luxuries, and in many cases of absolute necessaries, shut up in close courts and lanes, and debarred that first requisite to health, wholesome air. rjerished in ei-eat numbers. The ladies, in organized societies, or as tho representatives ot churches, ana also in tneir own continual ca-nacitv of the representatives of humanity, made great efforts to stay the malady and relieve the distressed. Foremost among them was Ernestine Gray foremost but unobtrusive. Many women had the safety of their own children to consult, and could not compromise it by actual contact with the disease. Many others, generous, but fainthearted, were ready to eive without stint, but feared to place themselves within the reach of tha ureaaea miasma, or were positively interdicted by friends from bo doing. Almoners to distribute aid were more needed thanalma-giver.-to furnish It. Ernestine hud none of these clogs upon her benevolence which I have epoken of ; and she had no fears. Whorever the cry of distress appealed to her, she answered it with calm and unconscious courage and self-denial never with the reckless fanaticism of mere impulse. She guarded her own life, and husbanded her own strength, and she would not tempt Providence bv heedless and unnecessary exposure, or abridge Her own usefulness bylhe prostration of ner energies, x naa never-sam ot ctr before. Her name is never prominent. She does not assume direction, but silently co-operates in whatever good, requiring aid, is undertaken by any one else ; and always diligently pursues her own coureo in the retired paths of mercy, where one gentle woman can put a thousand ills to flight. One day I met Ernestine in the street, and as our ways lay together, we busily compared notes of what .we had seen, nnd who needed assistance. This waa before I became a selfleh wife, and while I yet had opportunity to give to the poor the care and love which one's household conies in time to monopolize. Wo were stopped by a child who begged with honest, natural tears, " Oh, good ladies, ao come tor lamer ib dying '." i ol-lowing the little messenger up a court, we were ushered into a scene, the memory of which will never leave me. On a miserable dusty bed lay a man in his last throes, his heavy breathing convulsing his whole frame. The damps of death were on nis orow. several women, nis poor neighbors, were gathered round, looking with troubled curiosity at this " last scene of all." The dying man, as we drew near, raised himself upon nis elbow a hash or light passed over bis vision, his corrugated features relaxed into a faint smile ot welcome ; hia lips moved aa If to speak, and be sank on his pillow to rise no more. Ernestine had pressed up to the bedeide, and stood just before me, fixedly looking at the dead. She even took.one cold hand In hers, and as she did so, I saw her frame shake with powerful emotion. She crossed his arms upon his breast, pressed down his eyelids, and busied herself for a moment in composing nis maitea nuir, nen she turned I saw in her features the traces of a fearful struggle but though her eyes swam in tears, not a cry, not a word escaped her lips. She raised the child, who had thrown herself weeping upon the foot of the bed, and said, "Was this your lather ?" The child replied by throwing herself upon the lifeless body ; and it required no little exertion of strength to disengage her from that fearful embrace. -" Come with me," said Ernestine to the little forsaken one ; but the only reply was to rush back to the bedside and cling with frantic energy to the cold form of mm wno naa oeen nor last, ana omy menu. " Go with the may," said one or the women, wininrr the child's eves with her apron, and ad justing as well as she could her wreok of a bon net ; " go wun tne iaay, ana waeu nu is reauy for the burying you shall come back again." The little oue looked up, as if scarce understanding what was said, but tullbred herself to be persuaded. When we reached the street Ernestine beckoned to a cab, and not wishing to intrude myself upon her purposes, whatever they might bo, I pursued my way home alone, heart weary at the woe In the world, of which I had just seen this new iustanco. Ernestine never recalled the events of that day again to me though we mot often during that end summer, and hare since kept up a con stant intercourse. But she had acquired such a strange Interest In my eyes, tnat tne cariosity with which I traced her history must be pardonable. I learned that at an early ago she lost her father, and upon Ernestine fell the double charge of a helpless mother and an lafaut sister. It was not that poverty compelled this labor; but there are attentions which wealth cannot purchase, and requirements and attentions whioh affection nni xnn anTinlT. Ernestine was remarkable capable of fuliilling their demands a very little woman, wise beyond her years; but the burthen caused a premature development of her character, and imprinted upon her youthful face the stamp of care and solicitude. What might have been budding beauty under happier nue pices, was changed to a look of anxiety which bespoke nnTfexii overtasked. To euide the waywardness of infancy Is a taek even for the old and experienced; the child Ernestine waa obliged to control her sister six years younger. And suo was required moreover to rule with such discretion that tho cunning perseverance of liitlo Mnry would not defeat her by appeals to a nerveless sufferer lor wnom tne pnysician enjoined repose, n-i -r-..MH4l. ' 1 ..l ! inuacuiiv ui.i A-iuvauui; vxiay icuiu ecu utuii fee. or body, or both, must have sunk beneath It. In such a school was she early trained to endure the trials of life; and to feel that "no one liveth to h:m-elf." Frtm eighteen years of ags, when she wept over her mo;hsr' grave, to fenr or Ave and twenty, were the sunny days of Ernestine Gray. She became, after the death of her parents, the light of the household of her mother's sister: and at once perfected her own education, ana brought forward her younger cousins and her sister. Labor is pleasure when we labor for those wo love ; and in constant occupation is the secret of enjoyment as well as of usefulness. To all the house Ernestine was dear, and by all beloved ; but the love which existed between her and her charge was passing beautifuL The gentle sway of the elder sister not imperious from the love of power, but firm in the depth of affection, and the consciousness of well-earned right, never failed to control Mary, wayward as she was. The very contrast In their characters made their sisterly union more delightful. Mary was heedless, happy, impulni ve and her merry laugh and sunny lace arrested you at a glance, and bound you afterward. You could not but love the fi-olicEome, innocent heart, which opened to you as if sorrow had never entered into the world, and deceit and evil were not known In it. Frequently Mary Gray came under grave reproof; but the very lips which chid her transgressions, were ofienest suddenly turned away to conctal a smile. Alary wsa her uncle'a favorite, Eraertine was his admiration. He could nut, however, have tound a nearer way to the unfeltish heart ot Er ui'stiue Gray, than in bis kindness to Mary. When, therefore, Mary was chosen to accompany her cousins and their t'aihcr on a long summer tour, Ernestine smiled a pleased acquiescence in bis remark, that he would " leave the two old ladles at home." Mrs. Warner had positively declined to accompany the party ; and as it was necessary that some one thould remain at home with her, the choice of course fell upon thegentle-hearted girl who appeared to bare no higher pleasure in life than consulting the wishes of her friends.

The Pioneer, a magazine published monthly at San Francisco, California, contains an " editor's table" similar to that in tho Knickerbocker, from which wo extract the following racy paragraph : "And this again reminds us of a facetious performance of the late J. P. Squibob, who, ' once on a time,' while walking down Pennsylvania avenue, was sorely mistilied by a modest little sign standing in tho window of a neat little shop on the left hand side as you go down. The sign bore, in gaily painted letters, the legend, ' Washington Ladies' Depository.' Flattening his nose against the window, Squibob descried two ladies wnom no acEcnoes as or exceeding bcauly, neatly dressed and busily engaged in sewing, behind a little counter. The foreground was tilled with laco caps, babies' stockings, compresses for the waist, capes, collars, and other articles of still life. Hut in hand, Squibob reverently entered, and with intense politeness, addressed one of the ladies as follows : ' Madam, I perceive by your sign that this is tho depository for Washington ladies. I am going to the North for a few days, and should be pleased to leave my wife in your charge ; but I don't know if by your rules you could receive her, as the is a Baltimore woman lr ' O.io of the ladies,' says Squibob, ' a pretty little girl in a blue druS3, turned very red, and holding down her head, made the remark, Tt he." Uut the elder of tho twain, after making as If she would laugh, but by a strong-minded effort holding in, replied, ' bir, you have made a mistake. This is the place where the Society of Washington ladies depesit their work, to be sold for the benefit of the distressed -natives of the Island, of Fernando de Noronha,' or words to that effect.' Gravely did trmtrirtw bgnmnt), bow, all som"ly bezg'wg her lardon. and put ting on his hat, walked olf, followed by a sound from that depository as of an autumnal brook gurgling and Dabbling over its pebbly bed. In a New England forest." . , Kaintcck a.xd the Fiddler. On botrUhe steamer Indiana, in one of her trips down the Mississippi, were a large number of good na- tured passengers. Ufley were seeking to while away the hour according to their Beveral notions of pleasure, and would have got on very well but for one annoyance. There happened to be on board, a Hoot ier on the Wabash who wa9 going "down to Orleans," and he had provided himself with an old violin, fancying that be could fiddle as well as the best man, and planting himself where he could attract notice, scraped away. The fellow couldn't, fiddle any more than a setting hen, and the horrible noise d.sturbed his fellow passengers excessively. A Frenchman of very delicate nerves, nnd a very fine musical ear, was especially annoyed. He muttered, tidgetted, and ewore at the "sacra" liddle. The passengers tried various experiments to rid themselves of the Hoosier aud bis fiddle; it was no go he would music just as "long as be d-d please." At last a big Kentuckian sprang from his eeat, saying, "I reckon I'll fix him," placed himself near the amateur fiddler, and commenced braying with ail his might. The effect of the move was beyond description. Old Kalmuck "brayed to loud" that he drowned the screeching of the fiddle, and amid the shouts of tho passengers, the discomfit ted Hoosier retreated below, leaving the victory of the unequal contest with the Keutuckitin and his singular impromptu imitation of Balaam's friend. The delicht of the Frenchman knew no bounds: quiet was restored for the day. During the night the Kentuck'an lctt the boat. The next morn ing after breakfast the passengers were startled by the discordant sound of their old tormentor; iioosier nad discovered that the coast was clear, and was bound to revenge himself on the pas sengers. Loud and worse than ever screamed the uddle. The Frenchman, jut seated to read hia paper, on the first sound rose and looked anxiously around, shrugged his shoulders and then shouted "Vare Is he I Queek Queek, Mon Dicu I Vare ii Monsieur Kentuck, de man vat play on the jackass !"
