The Three Widows.

"Very sad! very sad, indeedl" said Mr. Emanuel Dovedale; " why was I not applied to sooner?" and giving orders tor liis long jraiters and waterproof coat, he told his housekeeper that he must have an early dinner, for he had a very long walk before him that atternoon. "Will you not nave a conveyance of some kind, sir? It never suited you to walk directly after eating." "No. thank you, Sarah; I cannot very well drive to day. . It won't hurt me for once," he said. looking away from her. for he hoped she would take the hint and go, as he did not wish to pursue the subject any farther. Sarah understood, and went, but came back again, saying, " I wa3 going to bake the pigeon pie to-day." " Yes ve-y good; it will do nicely," said Mr. Dovedale; with indiscreet briskness, adding, "it will be just the kind of dinner to fortify me for my walk." " But the oven," said Sarah, seizing the cue thus imprudently given : "I can't get that oven hot enough to bake that pie by half-past two; it's impossible." Mr. Dovedale glanced at the" time, and gave a shrewd guess at what made it impossible, but -only replied " Well, what you can get ready do, for I must not wait beyond half past two, even for a pigeon-pie." Sarah slowly, reluctantly retreated. Her master did not consider himself quite safe till a minute or two had elapsed, and then he unfolded his newspaper and said, with a smile, " I shall have the pigeon pie!" And so he had; for having punished him for changing the hour, and exposing himself to the danger of indigestion by the threat, the housekeeper took the oven in hand, and soon convinced it that the pie must be baked. An hour after-it had been served up, Mr." Dovedale "was walking with a firm, quick step, stick in hand, gaitered and water-proofed, along the-streets of London. As his errand was a charitable one, and his own means were appropriated 7 almost to the extent of .nis power before the year began T. (that is he planned out all he could spare tor the Jrear in January into certain channels, eaving -little for chance charities,) he determined, for the purpose of increasing his funds,: to call orra lew friends in his way to the house tf sorrow whither he had been invited. "Thirty-two! yea, thirty-two," he said, knocking at the door of a handsome house. " Is Mrs. Wickwork at home?"', ' Yes,w8ir," said the footman, and led the way to the receiving room. By the side of a brilliant fire, surrounded.; by bright-Bteel in every direction, on the surface of which its reflections danced, sat a lady past the middle age, but not much. She wore a widow's dress. She was pale and serious-looking. She had a book in her hand. Her chair was softly cushioned, and on the rich rug an embroidered stool supported her feet. "Ah! Mr. DovecLle! this is indeed kind. It is a treat I didn't expect," she exclaimed, half rising as her visitor entered the room. - ' " I am afraid it is a long time since I was here," he said; " but you are rather out of my beat. I'm glad to see you looking pretty well. Your room is a vast improvement on out-of-doors; t,uch a fog you can cut it, my housekeeper says; it is a real wet blanket in your face chiilsiyou, choke you and smothers you all at the same time." Mrs. Wickwork languidly smiled, and shook her head and sighed. v I'm sure I don't know what should make rr.e look well," she said, "I have sulfered much since I saw you." " Indeed ! Anything refresh. Mr. Dovedale would have said, but he didu't like to do it by shooting up his eyebrows in an inquiring manners "What new sorrow do I want?" asked the lady, the tears slowly Slling her eyes; " it is just six months to-day since " Mr. Dovedale saw the white handkerchief on its way to her face. He heartily wished he had known the day of Mr. Wickwork's demise, and had calied- the next day, or the. day after; however, he kept silent until he thought she was calm, and then said gently; " There are privileges attached to sorrow, and when the severity of the blow is passed we are able to consider them, to " evjoy them, he would - have said, but the word sounded h"arh in the presence -of a widow's tears, and as he couldn't think of a'.hetter, he subsided into a close. " The severity of an afHiction like mine cannot pass. I can never suffer less," said Mrs. Wickwork. Mr. Dovedale was very sorry, and he said so. - He said more; he added, that if theSuffering did not grow- less the consolation might increase, which would, of course, effectually diminish its amount. ' "What consolation?" asked the lady; "Here lam alone, without an object in lite, I had almost said no heart to repose on, no hand to lean on!" Mr. Dovedale almost fancied that she must have found so poetical a description or :;her woe in the book she had been reading. Hi heart grew colder towards her. He said, in a tone getting quite out of the minor key iu which tympathy is usually expressed, "I- am surprised. Biy good friend, to hear you ask such a question. There are certain and great consolations in Christianity, and I always considered you as a professor of it." O, if it were not for, that I could rot bear j.;p as I-hIo," said the lady.-

44 But, having that, you will surely learn to bear up better. Remember, my iriend, how many are suffering under a similar be eavement, with the additional distress of poverty to embitter it. Now, here are you surrounded with ease, and comfort, and even luxury; yes, luxury," he added, as he gl need round the room. " You are beyond a single care beyond that of your own personal health and enjoyment." "Ah! there it is! You have touched the secret spring of my deepest grief," exclaimed Mrs. Wickwork ; and to her companion's dismay up went the pocket-handkerchief again. If he had but known where that spring had lain, he never would have touched it. ...... -.. " You may suppose what a treasure my Lavinia would have been if she had remained to cheer me." "Ah, well, you know her marriage was considered a happy one, and her going to India with her husband was to be expected. Have you heard lately?'' said Mr. Dovedale, hoping to turn the conversation into a more cheerful channel. "No; and what has detained the mails so long I cannot thit k some accident, perhaps; once, you know, all the letters were lost; and really to be kept in the agonies of suspeuse continually is very trying." " Verry, but Colonel Wood will have his furlough soon, won't he? and then you will have them home, that will be very cheering." " Very, when tLey come on account of his health; it is most precarious; perhaps he will have to throw up his appointment, I shouldn't wonder." It was like walking blindfold over red-hot ploughshares; Mr. Dovedale didn't know where to set his foot; he determined to touch no more springs, so suddenly looking down on the rug, he declared it was the softest, richest, warmest-looking thing of the kind he had ever seen. Mrs. Wickwork replied that she had been disappointed in the wearing of it; it easily soiled, and the pile was not sufficiently elastic. " How well it matches the carpet I" said Mr. Dovedale. " 5lou surprise me," said the lady; " there is no orange in the carpet, and it is the prevailing color in the rug. I did not choose it I trusted to others"; " Well, you've got contrast at least," said Mr, Dovedale, rising. " I must go. I am going to see a poor lady, who is in very straitened circumstances, and very delicate health a widow with a large family to provide for." "Poor thing!" said Mrs. Wickwork, shaking her head. "Iam not able to do much for myself," he continued. " I am sure you will do all yGu can ; but one cannot, really, help everybody as one would wish to do, ' said the lady, her voice growing stronger, and her looks more alive. " No, one cannot; but a poor sickly widow, with six orphans to maintain, ' said Mr. Dovedale. "Shocking, indeed; but there are so many public charities. I subscribe to one or two." Mr. Dovedale felt sure it was to one. " I shall see about them," he replied; "but in the meantime she wants immediate personal help. I

want to collect a little for her ' he uttered the last words with some hesitation. Mrs. Wickwork's face fell back in its usual hard lines, out of which sorrow had drawn it, she took out her purse, and produced half-a-crown. " I don't generally give to chance applications," she said, " one gets so imposed upon; and really there is a tax of some kind forever coming. But I know I can depend on you." Mr. Dovedale had a great mind to push the half-crown back; she looked so cross and unfeignedly grieved to part with it. But he thought better of it. This is sweet, surely," he said, taking it up, " to be able to visit or help the fatherless and widow in their affliction; to ho'd the purse of God's providence, and be the happy hand to dispense his bounty." " Yes, indeed," said Mrs. Wickwork, screwiug up her. mouth and putting her ( purse .back . into her pocket. . - - " What a miserable woman she is!" he exclaimed, as he paced on briskly through the fog; "how shall I find Eoor Mrs; Mayblossom?" and his kind eart was pained as he contemplated his visit to the house of mourning, which was to be the end of his labors. " Well, well ; it's of no use to be sentimental about it," he said; "genuine feeling makes us forget ourselves, . and weep with those who weep; and, after all, I may find it less trying to see . lier real sorrow, to which I may administer consolation, than the selfish whining of that dear, dear; what an uncharitable spirit I am getting into! Let me see, down Woodburn place. Yes; that is i Turn to the left; here we are." And he was about to knock at another door when it opened, and a lady attired for walking appeared at it, and exclaimed, gayiy: "Mr. Dovedale! who would have thought of peeing you ou such a day? I wonder Sarah allowed you to come through this fog." to be continued.
