A TALE OF WOMAN'S TRIALS.

BY MES. BURBURY.

It was a co'd, dreary morning. rhe | streets were black aud sloppy, for it had | *

rained heavily the whole night; and now, although the storm had lulled, the bitter wind bad not had time to dry the pavement.

All the prinsipal thoroughfares were quiet, for it was yet early, and the business of the day bad not commenced in the better parte of the town; bot in the docks, and the narrow wretched streets leading to them, life was busy and earnest enough. ‘n East Indias msn had come in the night before, and al- | though many of the paszengers hal lavded, | most of the cargoand some invalida were still on board. Notwithetanding the cold and damp, there was as large an assemblave of persons se usual collected on the quay to watch the voyagers and Juggare come on shore, and to critivize the pa’e faces of huge sea chests, as one by ove they made their appearence \t lest, when the grea’ ve:sel had given forth early all her living freight, and the g aers were growing weary and be-~ gnning to move away, a fair s'ig':t chi'd, ts all appearance soarcely thirteen years old,

Her clis'put ringlets hung loose about her face, avd as the gust blew them backwards

Wen she first came on shore, she cast a searching glance a'ong the row of men and women who lined the quay, asif a wild hope of meeting some answering eye bd sprunz up in ber heart; but in a moment after it was gone, and an expression of patient,

though ratber proud endurance, replaced it. After, awhile, however, her face lighted up
