BT MISS (iTHiRINt M. SKDGKWICK.
?A sisLw'fc love! 1 dwell upon the theme ?

Has given ho taiut of self regardful care."

"Is it far, sir," asked Ruth, to that place ?"
"No ; a very short distance."
"I suppose, sir, it's a a prison ?"
"Yes, a house of detention, where per
t<ousare confined to await their trial."
"Then Charlie is not yet died ??he is?
not yet condemned, is he ?"
"No, no; not yet."
"Not yet" struck like a tolling bell 011
Ruth's heart.
"Your brother," resumed Henshaw,
y wrote to you the circumstances ? He told
you, of course, that he was not guilty r"
"No, he did not say that."
"He did not!" exclaimed Henshaw, in an
alarmed tone.
"No, Bir; why should he ?" she asked,
speaking for the tirsttime with an assured
voice. " You would not ask such a question
if you knew Charles, Mr. Henshaw.""
"1 do know him, and 1 feel a confidence
in his integrity,?but "
"But, what ??oh, do speak out."
"I only hesitated because 1 cannot bear
to distress vou. I fear we shall have diffi
rulty in proviug your brother's innocence :
but we will not talk about that now. You
have never been inside a prison, and you
must try and keep up good resolution.""
Ruth did try. But when she saw that huge,
stern edifice, called the Tombs?when the
massivelockswereturned to admither?and
when the keeper, having been requested by
Henshaw, to permit the young person with
hiin to see Charles Hathaway, scarcely noti
cing her, led them along the dismal corridors,
?with that hardened indifference which use
gives, her heart sunk, and her feet moved
draggingly. They were intercepted and
impeded by a party visiting the prison from
curiosity. It consisted of two or three el
derly people, two very young ladies, from
the country,full of pleasing excitement from
being for the first time within prison-walls,
?the scenc, to their imaginations, of so
much possible romance?and their cousin,
a young city lawyer, who acted as exponent
of the scene.
"Babe, the pirate," said he to them, "is
in that cell, No. 81"
"That horrid wrctch wc read the account
of, in the newspaper ? How 1 should like
to see him !"
"There is a still more curious monster,
Cousin Jane, in No. 83?the German who
burned his wife to death."
"Ob, horrors! And who can that be
between them, in No. 82."
"I don't know ; somebody wor.<e than
either 1 suppose. Who is it, Mr- Farran ?"
"I don't know his name \ a lad commit
Am otbaliug."
"Let us pass, if you please, ladies," said
"Ruth's conductor. Our amateur visitors
stared at Ruth. One 6aid, touching her
cousin's arm, "Oh, Henry, did you ever see
anything so pale as that poor girl. Mercy !
Do you think she is going to be 6hut up
here ?"
"No; that is impossible. What inno
cence, sweetness and misery !" Ruth's
conductor was now unbolting the door of
No. 82. The youngest of the ladies, im
pelled by irrepressible curiosity, followed
close enough to see, when the door was
opened, a handsome youth, pale, haggard,
and sorrowful, bending over a sheet of pa
per, on which he was intently writing. She
rould not see that the paper was wet with
tears. Ruth darted into the cell; the keep
er shut the door, and rebolting it, said to
Henshaw, cooly, "You may call me when
she is ready to come out.'' Henshaw,
walkiDg to and fro, unoccupied, in the cor
ridor, presented loo tempting an opportunity
to gratify the young ladies' curiosity ; and
their cousin being put up to asking some
questions they got possession of Charles'
*tory, and, what was far more important,
Henshaw found out that the inquirer was
Henry Sandley, a young lawyer, whose
very clever management of a criminal case
had, a few weeks befoie, been much talked
of in the city. Henshaw gave him a retain
ing fee for his friend on the spot, and Sand
ley engaged to get the trial putofF till testi
monial's of Charles Ilathaway's good char
acter could be obtained from the country.
On those documents, and on the testimony
of his fellow clerkf, he said, they must
found all their hopes of clearing him ; at
the same time he confessed the chance was
wmall, against the overwhelming fact of the
stolen goods being found iu Charles's pos
session. "Was there," he asked, "among
the clerks, any one who could be suspected
of the villany of putting the stolen goods into
Hathaway's pocket ?" Henshaw hesitated,
and only said, in reply, that there was not a
clerk in the shop he should not sooner have
suspected than Hathaway. Henshaw was a
man of strict principles, lie did suspect?
he had all along suspected?Oti? Jackson,
but he was too scrupulous to run the risk of
wronging him by the expression of suspi
cions that had no proof whatever.
? ? ? *
After Charles'* first moment of surprise
at Ruth's appearance?after the first burst
of their young hearts?and alter Ruth had
sat for a few moments on his pallet* beside
him, with her anns linked around his neck,
silent and shivering with emotion, he said,
41 Now, Ruthy, we must not give way so ;
) bear it very well, only when I sit down
to write home; and then thinking how fa
ther, and mother, and you will feel, knocks
ine up. How did you get here, llutb, so
soon? How did mother bear it? What did
father say?" Kutb told her short story, and
coucluded, by saying, " To-morrow, Char
lie, we shall ceitainly have a letter fiom
them."
" fVe! You cannot stay here, Ruth. Even
if you had any place to stay, you know fa
ther and mother want you a great deal more
than I do."
" 1 can slay here, Charlie, and I shall?
and they would choose it?and there's an
eud on't."
"But, Ruth, you don't know what a
placc this is; nor what New York is for
an unprotected girl."
" Nonseuse, Charlie: I can protect my
self."
" Where can you sleep r"
" Sleep ! I dont feel much like sleeping;
but 1 can lie here on the floor, or I can get
that man to lock me up in some empty cell,
like this. 1 rati do anything but go away
and leave you : that 1 will not do."
There was a knock at the door, the bolts
were turned, and Henshaw told Charles that
a lawyer was waiting to speak to him.
" Let him wait one minute," said Ruth,
and, taking from her little sack a bottle of
cologne, and comb and brush, provided by
Miss Emma Gardiner, she smoothed her
brother's tangled locks, and restored to his
sweet countenance its habitual aspect.?
" There, now you look like our own Char
lie," she said.
Sandley entered, and he did not leave the
cell without being thoroughly convinced
that Charles was innocent, and nearly as
well convinced that they should not be able
to prove his innocence ; and so impressed 1
with the love of the brother and sister, that
he resolved to strain every nerve in their
behalf. He comforted Charles by assuring 1
him that he knew the matron of the prison
>?that she was a humane woman?that he
would engage her to furnish his sister a bed
in her own room, and to see that Miss Ruth
had every facility in going to and from her
brother's cell.
"Please tell them," said Ruth, " I will
only trouble them twice a-day. I shall
come to Charles iu the morning, and go
away in the evening."
41 Angel for angel glows with such regard,
Thus whole, deep, self-forgetting. Bowers of
heaven
VV itness it in the cherubs1 changeless lotcs;
Earth sees it in :i sister's heart alone."
?* # * ' %
1 en days had passed since Ruth's depar
ture for New York ; and on each of these
days the parents had received a letter full
of affection, and of details of every occur
rence that could be put in a cheerful light.
I Their children did not express strong hope,
[ for they would not embitter a too probable I
disappointment; but neither did they im
part their fears. " For, if worst comes to
worst," said Ruth, " mother will bear it
better when I am with her." The deport
ment of these young people?their mutual
affection?and the earnest devotion of the
sister?won for them unusual respect and
attention from the officers of the prison.?
u Thoro thooc innocent children are," said
the Turnkey, " both innocent, I am sure of
that. There they are, with a pirate one
side of tbem, and a murderer the other,"en
joying themselves. If that aint innocence
I don't know what is. I declare, if 1 don't
expect some day, when I unlock their door,
to see the angel of the Lord with them?
the same as walked the fiery furnace
"An uncommon girl is that," said the
matron. "Sometimes when we meet the
vagabonds going along the corridor, just
turned in from the Five Points, she looks
scared, and gathers her clothes close round
her, as if she were afraid of the plague;
yet she'll stay the live-long day?yes, and
till ten or eleven at night?in that dismal
cell, and talk and read, and keep up her
brother's spirits; She begins with the Bible
in the morning, and ends with it at night;
and between limes they read out of Dick
ens and Punch, and every kind of nonsense
Mr. Henshaw brings; and they laugh to
gether ; and their laugh sounds like the best
of music in a dark night. She is a wise
little thing too. Mr. ilenshaw sent her a
basket full of every kind of notion, from
the confectioner's. She would not take them
to 82; the dear child gave them all to me,
and asked Mr. Henshaw?and so modestly
too?if he would send her brother every
day a bit of beef-steak, or a mutton-chop,
to keep up his health and spirits. She has
been what I call well trained."
The last letter received from the young
Hathaway was dated on Tuesday. Charles's
part expressed not hope, but a cheerful cou
rage that he was sure could uot fail him,
while his friends had faith in him. " You
have trained me up, dear parents," he said,
"to believe that the important thing is 1 to
do right, not to seem right,' and now I mean
to feel and act accordingly."
Ruth wrote thus: " The trial comes on
to-morrow morning. There is nothing new
come to light: so we are preparing for the
worst. The amount of the stolen articles
put into Charles's pocket, is less than $2o,
so that they cannot make grand larceny out
of it; and he cannot be sent to Sing Sing,
only over to Blackwell's Island. The period
of his detention there is at the discretion of
the judge. Mr. Sandley thinks it cannot be
long, with such testimonials to bring for
ward as Miss Emma has sent to us. Oh,
thanks to her! The worst?no the best?
of it is, that Charlie positively refuses to
have any suspicion thrown on Otis. Mr.
Henshaw feels sure he is the real culprit,
and Mr. Sandley thinks it more than prob
able.
" \ ou remember his exclamation when
the clerks were to be searched. Charles
has an impression that he then felt some
thing at his coat pocket, which we both feel
sure was Otis thrusting the parcel into it
But we know this would be no evidence iu J
court: so Charles wont tell even Mir. Hetl
shaw, or Sandley, of it. He says time will
bring it all out, and, meanwhile, let Otis
have a chance. Is not he just like father ?'
Let it storm ever so horridly, he always be
lieves it will be fair weather to-morrow
Mr. Henshaw feels certain that Otia will
prove the rogue at last, ' &DlV 80 says?
' he don't see the use of sacrificing an hon
est fellow to hiin, in the meantime.' He
watches him as a cat does a mouse. 7 he
reasons of Mr. Henshaw's suspicions are
these: Otis is out late at night, and he
comes late to the shop in the morning. He
dresses far beyond his means, and goes often
to places of amusement, especially to the
theatre, where, Mr. Henshaw says, clerks
never should go; and Mr. Henshaw savs
he has been seen in 4 not the best ?f com-,
puny' at the theatre. I don't know quite
what he means by that; but 1 surmise
it's something awful. fl he people where
Charlie boarded were very lond of him ;
and they will give their testimony that
he was perfectly regular in his habits;
and Mr. Sandiey will call on Messrs.
Brown & Wilson to testify as to his con
duct in the shop. All this, Mr. Sandiey j
says, may not overbalance the one great
circumstance against him ; but this, with
the documents from Miss Kmma, Mr. Sand
ley say.", will go a great way with the gov-|
ernor. So, if Charlie is pent'to the Island,,
I shall go straight to Albany ; for the liv
iug voice, with a throbbing heart under it>
mother, is better than a dead writing. And
if v:e dou't get a pardon, why then patience,
dear father and mother?heavenly patience!
such as you, dearest father, have shown us
ever since we can remember ; and you, dear
mother, too?only just borrow a little hope
and cheerfulness from father, and be 6ure?
be sure it will all come right; and Charlie ]
will shine out to the world as he shines to
us, who are above the clouds, and can see
the sun all the while; and if the world
never knows, still cannot we be content!
aud thankful ? We will. So, dearest mo-|
ther; take courage! God will help us all,
and 1 shall soon be with you.
? P. S.?I could not feel easy not to make j
one effort with Otis. 1 thought if he had
plunged us in this trouble, he would teel
when he came to see me, and remembered
the days when we were playmates, and
happy together. I saw him. 1 don't know
what 1 said. My heart was full, and it
poured itself out, but I got no satisfaction.
He denied?relused. But oh ' dear mother,
( feel surer thau ever that he is the guilty
one. His eye did not once meet mine; and
he looked red and pale, by turns ; and when '
I came away the tears were running down
his cheeks. Who would not father be
(Charlie?"

gerous a seated bilious disorder is, and we aro also
well aware of ihc seeming insignificance of lis first
warnings or incipiency. The individual suffering
from slight pains in his chest, back, or stomach, or
hom occasional nausea, dull headaclie, extreme ner
vousness, sleeplessness, trifling prevarication of ap
petite, and other disagreeable visitations so common
ly and foolishly looked upon as unimportant, may
not know that these symptoms, treated so contemp
tuously, are the conscquenccs of a diseased state of
the liver, which if not remedied, will lead cither to
s|)ccdy death or a long tiain of unbearable ills which
are known by the following names : Hypochondria,
mania, dizziness, slow fevers, epilepsy, asthma,
dropsy, rheumatism, chlorosis, convulsions, nausea,
nervousness, erapms, gout, pleurisy, jaundice, irrita
bility, ami violence, dyspepsia, hysteiics, scurvy,foul
stomach, dry coughs, glandular affections, colds, lin
gering sore throats, various disorganizations of the
great intestine, strictures and spasmodic complaints
| internally, eruptions, shortness of breath, heartburn,
j neuralgia, vital inflammation, flatulence, gastric fe
vers, Sic.
Sometimes, too, there ensues an irregular action
of the heart. Take these pills and suffer no more.
