The voyage had a salutary rflV the ehange of scenes and circumstances; new friends and acquaintances, and the kindness she experienced in her new abode, dispelled much of the cherished gloom that passed upon her heart, and added life to her almost inanimate frame. The glow of health gradually returned, and she shone in the maturity of her beauty, a star of no common lusfrt in the fashionable world of that delightful island. A year had not elapsed, before the hand of one of the wealthiest merchants in the island was offrred her.

Emma used to ride out daily in an elegant carriage, with her infant family; and, as had long been her practice, she carefully sought out such objects of distress, as she deemed it would be charitable to relieve. One day, riding in the sutburbs of the city, she taw a poor half clothed man, lying on the ground, and a tattered child cry tug bitterly by his side, to whrch he paid no attention. She directed the coachman to stop, and called the man, inquired why he disregarded the child, and whose it was? "It is my own," taid he, MI -came out, hoping to, get a place for it in yonder hause; and could not; it is almost starved, and I have not means to procure food for myself or it."
