Thus discordant in their dispositions, and acting on contrary principles in regard to the management of their children, the good man, anxious to preserve domestic peace, brooded over his chagrin in silence. He fell ill, and died in the arms of his weeping daughter. The widow, tho' still young, did not long survive him, and left a'little boy, 18 months old, to the care of Frances,'who was only eleven years her self.

The father of the orphans was only rich in virtue; he left no'inherita'nce to his daughter, save some old furniture, and a small cottage in the skirts ofa wood. Fran ces retired to this savage asylum with her little brother. The unfortunate, alas have neither guardians nor friends. She found herself absolutely abandoned, and in a short time became the victim of;.t'he most deplo rable indigence. Meanwhile, some pea sants in the vicinity, asked her to look after their geese and their sheep; but her tender attachment to her brother, forced her to decline this offer, and she resolved to sub mit to the worst rather than forsake him.
