It isn touching example '■ of faith in GoiF* will. — Ed.] Gn.np.RT Ainslik wo* n jaxir man : nml ho had hyen a poor man all the <luv* of ; hi* life, which were not few, for hi* thin hair wna now waxing gray, lie liad lg»en born and hrotl on the *ninll moorland farm which ho now occupied : ami lie hoped to die there, in* hi* father and ; grand-father had done before hi 111, leaving a family just nl*>ve the more ^ hitter want* of thi* world. Lnl*>r, har<l and unremitting, had been hi* lot in ; life ; hut although Hometimes severely | [ tried, lie had never repined : ami through ! all the mist and gloom, and oven the storm* that had u*Mailed liilii, he had | lived 011 from year to year in that calm ' and resigned contentment which uncon* ><ciouxly cheer* the hearth -atone of the ; blameless poor. With hi* own hand* • he had ploughed, sowed, and reajied . hi* often scanty harveat, u*Hi*ted, as ' | they grew up, by tbfee nona, who, even in boyhood, were happy to work along with their father in tho field*. Out of i door* or in, Gilbert Ain*lie wa* never • idlo. The spade, the aliearu, the plough shaft*, the sickle, and the flail, all came readily to hand* that grasped them ; well ; and not u mor*el of food was | on ten under hi* roof, or a garment worn i there, that was not hone»tly, severely, ! I nobly earned ; — Gilliert Aimdie was a j slave, hut it wa* for them ho loved ! with • sober anil deep affection. Tho ! thraldom under which he lived God j had imposed, and it only served to ' give hi* character a shade of silent ! gravity, but not au*tere ; to make hi* ' smile* fewer, but more heartfelt; to 1 calm hi* *onl at grace before and after meals; and to kindle it in morning and evening prayer. Many cottage* ire there in Scotland » like Mom-side, and many *tich hnmble and virtumi* cottagers a* were now beneath it* roof of straw. The eye of the ; |>assing traveler may mark them, or j mark them not, hntthey stand ]>eacefiil- ' ly In thousands over the land ; and |

All the lyiupbmis were those of approaching deMf.t The parent* knew wall the cbangaJkM %MMksr the human face, whether it lie -in childhood or prime, just before the departure of the spirit ; and a* they *tood together by Mai-garet * bed, it nccmed to tbein that ] the fatal shadow had fallen upon her : feature*. The surgeon of the parish t lived some miles distant, but they expected him now every minute, and many a wistful look was directed by tearful eye* along the moor. The daughter, who was out at service, came anxiously home on thi* night, the only | one that could be allowed her, for the ; I*** niu*t work in their grief, and their j serTiint* must do their duty to those j whose bread they eat, even when nature ; [h Hick— nick at heart. Another of the daughters came in from the potato field beyond tlie brae, with what wa* to be Uusr frugal supper. The calm noiseless spirit of life was in the hoiine. while death seemed dealing with one who, a few day* ago. like the light upon the floor, and the sound of music, that always breathed up when most wanted; j ; glad and joyous in common talk, — sweet, silvery, ami mournful, when it joined in hymn or psalm. One after the other, they continued going up to the bed-aide, j and then coining away sobbing or silent, . to see their merry little sister, who used to keep dancing all day like a butterfly j in a meadow field, or like a butterfly j with shut wings on a flower, trifling for ■ a while in the silence of her joy, now tousing restlessly on her bed, and scarce 1> K4-HMihh« Of tl»«- W#U«U amLUrm,,n| whispered around her, or the kisses . . **"■ 'J -J • | selves, on her burning forehead. Utter poverty often kill* the affection*; but a deep, constant, and common feeling of this world's hardships, and hii equal participation in 611 those struggle* by which they may be softened, unite husband and wife, parents nnd children, brothers and sister*, in thoughtful sub-

dued tenderness, making them happy indeed while the circle round tho fire 1* unbroken, and yet preparing them every j day to bear the se)»uratio!!, when soine one or other i* taken slowly or suddenly uWay. Their souls are not moved by fits , and starts, although, indeed, nature ; 1 sometime* will wrestle with necessity ; • and there is 11 wise moderation both in 1 the joy and the grief of the intelligent 1 l>oor. which keeps lasting trouble A way from their earthly lot, nnd prepare* ! them silently nnd nnconsciously for Heaven. MD<> you think the child is dying?" said Gilbert with a calm voice to tho surgeon, who. on his wearied horse, had just arrived from n not her sick bed, over the misty -range of hill* ; nlid liad been j looking steadfastly for some minutes on the little patient. The humane man knew the family Well, in the midst of whom ho was standing, and replied, -While there is life, there i* ho(»e ; but my pretty little Margaret is, I fear, in the last extremity.'1 There was no loud lamentation at these Words — all hud before ' known, though thev wonSd not ronton* ) it to themselves, what they now were told — and though the certainty that was in the word* of the skillful man made their heart* beat for a little with sicker throbbing*, (hade their palefaces paler, i and brought out from some eyes* great or gu*h of tears, yet death had been before in this house, nnd in this ease lie came, as he always does, in awe, hut not in terror. There were wandering nml wavering and dreamy delirious! phnn tasie* in the hrniit of the innocent child ; ! hut the few words she indistinctly uttered were Affecting, not rending to the heart, for it was plain, that she thought herself herding her sheep in the groan silent pasture*, nnd sitting wrapped in her plaid upon the lawn nnd sutjity side . of the Birk-kiiowe. She was too much exhausted— there wn* too little life-— tor* little breath in her heart, to frame a tune ; bid- soma of her word* seemed to be from favorite old nong*^ and at last her mother wept, nnd turned aside her fare, when ths? child, whose blue eye* ware shut, and her 1i|»* almost still, breathed ont these line* of the beauMfhl twenty-third (malm 1 The Lord's my ftb<-pt>CTd, I'll uot want ;

In abdbt u | quarter of an hour, thfy began to vise ; calmly, and to go c»ach to hL allotted work. One of the daughters went forth ' with the pail to uiilk tho oow, and lK»gou to set out the table in the middle I of tlie .floor for supper, covering It witli household arrangements with a solemn and untroubled eye ; and there wus almost the faint light of a grateful svuilw on hi* cheek, a* he said to tho worthy Mirgeon, "You will partake of our fair ' after .vpur day's truvel and toil of ho- j inanity. In a short silent half hour, , the jioUto«>s and oat-cakes, butter ami milk, were on the hoard ; und Gilbert lifted up his toil-hardend, but manlyhand, with a slow motion; at which the j room was hushed as if it hod be«Ai empty, dosed hi* eye* in reverence, and asked i u blessing. — There was a little stool, on 1 which no ouc sat, by the old man's side. 1 It had been put there uuwittingly, when the other seats were all placed in their usual order ; hut the golden head that was wont to rise at that part of the table was »ww TU«» was »ilene$--not a word wa* *«id — their meal was 1 before tliem — God had been thanked, and they began to eat. While they were at their silent meal, 1 a horseman came galloping to the door, und, with a loud voice, called out that he had been sent expres* for Gilbert Ainslie ; at the same time rudely, aud with an oath, demanding a dram for hi* trouble. The eldest ton, a lad of eighteen, fiercely seised the bridle of hi* j horse, und turned his head away Irani the door. The ridery somewhat alarmed ' at the flushed face of the powerful strip- j ling, threw down the letter and rodooff. Gilbert took the letter from hi* son1* | i»inrl,ainit»Hi, i*»U« >lw ■ I upbraiding look on bis face, that wa* — said the youth, with n t<-;ir in hi* eve. , — "I feared that the brute's voice, and 1 the trampling of the horse1* feet, would ! have disturbed her," Uflltci* hold the • letter hesitatingly in his hand, a* if ' afraid, at that moment, to read it,'; at ( ( length, he *aid aloud to tho surgeon ; 1 "You know that 1 am n poor man, ami | M 1 ..It# ■ I I I • t If ft •% * I • • M «•# IX.II*.

debt! fi justly iiicurrods and punctually paid when due, is no dishonor." • Both • hi* hand and hi* voice shook slightly a* he spoke; but he opened tlm letter j from the lawyer, and read it in silence. At this moment hi* wife came in from ; her child's bed-side, and lookinganxiously at her husband, told him "not to mind nl>oiit the money, that no map, j who know him, would arrest hi* good*, or jmt him into prison. Though, dear ! me, it is cruel to he put to it thus, when our bairn is dying, and when, if so it l»e the lord's will, she should have a decent j ' biiriel, poor innocent, like thom that i went before her/' Gilbert continued ^ reading the letter with a face on which no emotion could l>o discovered ; and then, folding it up, he gave it to his wife, told her she might read it if she i4io*r, and then put it into hi* desk in the room, beside the j»oor dear bairn. She t«»ok it from him, without reading ' it, and crushed it into her bosom ? for she turned her ear toward* her child, and, thinking *frc heard it stir, ran out hastily to it* ImmI-miJa * •, ! child was nuu 0 ibr its life. The very dog* knew there Was grief in the house, and ln^ without sffrring, as if hiding themselves, belobr the long {ftblq at the ifindow. <>ue sister *at with 1111 unfinished gown on her knee*, i that she had been sewing for the dear child, and still continued Mt the lio) iota** work, she scarcely knew why ;nnd often, putting up her hand to wi|»e away after, — "What i* that ?'? said tho olcl man to j hit eldest daughter; "What i* that you I ure laying on the shelf?" She could scarcely reply that it was a riband and an ivory comb sjie had brought for little Margaret, against the night of the dancing school bull. And, nt these words, the father could not restrain a long, deep, and bitter groan ; at whicli the !w»y, nearest in age to lii* dying *i*t«-r, ! looked lip weeping in his face, and letting the tattered ln>ok of old Ixtllads. | which he had been |»oring over, but not j reading, fall out of liia bands, he rose | from Ilia seat, and, going into his fat her'bosom, ki*s4*d him, and asked God to ! bias* him ; for tho holy heart of the boy j whs moved within him ; and the old | mao aa ho embraced biro, felt that, in

They were all prepared ft* death • but now they were found unprepared for life. One wept that liad till then locked up all her team within her heart; another gave a short palpitating shriek ; and tho tender-hearted Isabel, who had nursed the child when it wma a baby, fainted away. The youngest brother gave away to gladsome smile* :and, calling out hi* dog A«Hitor,who used toapert with him and lii* little sister en tho moor, lie told the tiding* to * - irrational creature, whose eyes, it ia certain, sparkled with a sort of joy. The clock, for some day*,had been prevented from striking the hours; but the silent fingers pointed to the hour of nine : and that, in the cottage of Gilbert Ainslie, u a* the stated hour of family worahip. His own honored minister took the !»ook ; Ho watod a portion will# judicium earn : And ha u* \\«»nOnj» God, lio said, wlUi solemn ulr. A chapter was read — a prayer said : and so, too, wn* gung a p*aim; but it was sung low,and with suppressed voioe*, lest the child's saving sleep might bo DMKBH ; kfifl fif.W hii.I then " ,naT5 yo!£e* tromhlcjL yr *ony tribulation-Hnd anguish, and now hope and faith wore trit^d in the joy of thanksgiving. Tho <4ul<l «ti)1 ; nnd its sloop seamed more sound and deep. It appeared almost certain that the crisis was over, and that the flower wa* not to fade, "Children,* said Gilbert, "our happiness a a

| is in the. love we hear to one another ; aud our duty i* in submitting to and serving God. Gracious, indeed, ha* he Iwon unto us. Is not the recovery of our little durling, dancing, singing Margaret, worth all the gold that ever was mined? If we liad Uiousand* of thousand*, would we not have filled up her grave with the worthless dross of gold, rather than that *ho should have gone down there with her swoet face and all her rosy *inile* ff There wan mi reply; l»ut a joyful sobbing all over the room. "Never mind the letter, nor the debt, father," said the eldest daughter. Wo j have all soinc liule thing of our own — a few pounds — and we shall he able to raise as much a* will keep arrest and prison nt a distance. Or if they do take our furniture out of Lhehou*e,all except Margaret's bed, who cares ? We will sleep Yin the floor ; and thcrv are potato* in the Held, und clear water in spring. Wo need foar nothing, want nothing : blessed he God for nil hi* mercies." Gllliert went into the sick room, and got the letter from his wife, who was • ' . i u«r> v. is c<4, mflphing, with a heart bl«>M-ed bc>on«l all blisa, the calm and regular breathing* of her child. "Thi* letter," said he mildly, *Ss not from a hard creditor, tome with inc while 1 >«vad it aloud to our children,'1 The letter was read aloud, and it i* was well fitted to dtfluso pleasure and Miiisfaction through the dwelling of poverty. It was from an i e \e< utor to the will of a distant relative, nho had left Gilbert Ainslio l.VtMll. "Th«\ *um, ,N *ai«l Gilliert, "is a large one to folks like us, but not I hopes largo enough to turn our leads, or m*ke us think oiimelvss all lorils and la<lios.

"You will he able to send me to sch<x>l all tho yeai round now, father," said the 1 \ oungc-i hoy. "And you may leave the : Mail Ui your son* now, father," said tho I eldest, "You may hold the plough still, iCV»ntinuel on the fourth pwf« ;
