email income. Catherine's consideration of 

 these circumstances is beyond all praise. She 

 expresses her unwillingness to apply to her poor 

 landlady even for necessary repair.s, and as far 

 as possible has made those repairs herself She 

 buj'S paint, and paints her rooms with her own 

 hand. She receives pay^nent from her lodfiers 

 on Friday, and the sum. thougli only a few shil- 

 lings altogether, she lends to some poor women 

 ■who purchase certain goods which they sell in 

 the market on Saturday, and make their returns 

 to her on Saturday night. It does not appear that 

 she has ever thus lost anything, while the gain 

 has been of considerable importance to those 

 who have made it. She has mixed but little 

 with her neighbors, except for such offices of 

 kindness as she could render to them; and most 

 nnwillingly asks for any aid for her own person- 

 al friends. 



We must, however, draw our account of this 

 poor widow to a conclusion. She is not without 



faults ; as, for instance, ha.stinessof temper ; bat 

 her anger is soon appeased, and no ill u.Mage can 

 check her kindness, except (or a very short time. 

 She has experienced injustice ; and though slie 

 has felt it strongly, has acknowledged that it 

 was a duty to forgive otheri?, v. hen there is so 

 much to be forgiven in ourselves. She was ever 

 most careful not to incur a debt, maintaining 

 her sense of duty on this subject with an energy 

 worthy of all prai.se. Had she been embarrass- 

 ed by debt, she could have carried through few 

 of her benevolent intentions. Her whole history 

 presents a striking combination of simplicity 

 with energy, sensibility with forethought, calcu- 

 lation, and economy, wilh disinterestedness and 

 self-sacrificing benevolence. To a pious reliance 

 on Providence she unites a vigilant sense of 

 practical duty, an indifierence to all stOfish con- 

 siderations, and a strong faith in her fellow-crea- 

 tures, in herself, in good principles, and ia 

 Truth.
