RESIGNATION. 
jtT w" . K. 0. KNOWLKB. 
A cloud swayed lightly in the Hummer Hky, 
A shadow crossed the threshold of my door; 
I looked above me, and above me 1 
Saw that the cloud grew brighter than before. 
A flush of sunset threw its glory thero, 
And touched with many fires each edge and fold : 
I looked above me, and it seemed a stair, 
Up which to tread to palaces of gold. 
My child was near me, and beheld the cloud, 
And mounted up the stair-way of the sky ; 
Alarmed, I tried to follow, but a shroud 
Dropped down between me and my child on high. 
I oped my mouth, and waved my hand to him, 
Speechless with agony, and nameless fears; 
He called to me; and though my sight was dim, 
1 saw him still ascending, through my tears. 
And as a glory overspread the cloud, 
And vanished with my child, to ne'er return, 
1 heard a voice call down to me—not. loud— 
Which bade mo to rejoice, and not to mourn I 
I know it w'as the voice of God 1 I know 
His power bore my child on high to Him; 
And, knowing this, my heart grew strong anew,— 
My tears were dry, although my eyes were dim. 
All power is His 1 Does He but speak the word, 
Our steps grow feeble and our hearts grow faint; 
We feel within that we must rest.; and gird 
Our shroud about us, like a faithful saint. 
Happy is he, who, in his pilgrimage, 
Can with the truthfulness of wisdom say, 
That ho has learned the precepts of the sage, 
And sot his house in order, day by day. 
To such a one shall truth and mercy give 
A strength before unknown. The golden rod 
Of wisdom shall be his to touch and live, 
When ushered in the presence of his God. 
Take heart, 0 man 1 our lives, but short at most, 
Are but the proludo to an endless day; 
And like the ripple, by the zephyr tossed, 
Murmur the sweetest ns we pass away.

THE WIDOW’S DOWER; 
OB, SELF - SACRIFICE REWARDED. 
BY EDWARD WEBSTER, ESQ. 
It was a sad, sad evening in the little farm¬ 
house in the glen, for on that day the husband 
and father had been laid in his grave; and the 
disconsolate widow, and such of the children 
as could be collected beneath the parental 
roof for the purpose of pitying the last sad 
tribute of respect to the deceased, were sitting 
silently and in tears amid the sombre gathering 
shades of the approaching night. Huch of the 
children as could be collected, we say, for part 
of them were scattered over the wide world, 
far away from their childhood’s home. The 
candles were not yet lighted, nor was the usual 
cheerful tire blazing on the hearth, for darkness 
and dullness accorded well with the feelings 
and sentiments of the mourners. The mother 
who has lost the chosen companion of her life, 
with whom, amid joy and sorrow, hope and 
fear, health and sickness, she has made her 
earthly pilgrimage down into the vale of years, 
and then had him taken from her side, and the 
children who have been reared to man’s estate 
by one of the best of fathers, and then assisted 
at the last sad rites of laying that father in the 
tomb, can sympathize with the mourners on 
the present occasion. For a long time they 
sat in silence, save when a broken sob from one 
of the members was answered by a responsive 
sigh ; but tears trickled down even manly 
checks unrestrainedly. 
At length one of the brothers arose from 
his scat, and approaching the widow, said:— 
« Mother, it is dark and cold here, at least for 
you and the girls. Shall 1 kindle a fire and 
light the candles?” 
“It is neither so dark nor so cold as the 
grave, but it is scarcely less cheerless,” respond 
ed one of the sisters; “and it does not seem 
right that we should enjoy light and lire, now 
that our dear father who provided them for us 
through all our early years is slumbering in the 
cold ground.” 
But the widow, who had long been noted as 
an exemplary Christian mother, rallied at an 
expression which sounded to her like a mur¬ 
mur against the afflictive dispensation, and ob 
served; “There is light and life on the other 
side of the dark valley, and it does not become 
us to sit down here and give vent to vain re- 
pinings at the chastenings of our Heavenly 
Father. The warning comes home to us to b< 
also ready; and there is work for us to do 
which must be done while it is yet to-day.”— 
Ho saying, she directed the girls to make pre¬ 
paration for supper, as the family had fasted 
during the whole of that sorrowful day. The 
employments of the evening, by diverting their 
thoughts from the cause of their grief, served 
to dispel partially the dark cloud which had 
settled over the minds and thoughts of the 
family; and at an early hour they all retired to 
rest—that rest which had been broken by long 
watchings beside the sick bed or him who now 
had no further need of their affectionate atten¬ 
tions, beside his quiet bed beneath the clods of 
the valley. 
Alfred Kino, the deceased, had been the 
father of a large family, which he had labored 
earnestly to rear up in the paths of honest in¬ 
dustry. Betting out in life with small pecuni¬ 
ary means, ami finding himself unable to accu¬ 
mulate anything in the old community where 
he was born, he pushed off at, an early day to 
wlmt was then the outskirts of civilization, viz. 
Western New York, and located upon a farm 
which he purchased at a very moderate price, 
to be paid for at some future day. But sick¬ 
ness, and the other concomitants of a new set¬ 
tlement, kept him back. There was no market 
for grain; and all those articles of merchandize, 
which even the most economical family must 
have, were exorbitantly high. In addition to 
this, a large family of young children filled his 
dwelling, who, if they were a blessing to him 
and cheered his leisure hours with their sunny 
faces and merry pranks, were also a severe 
draft upon his earnings and energies. Time 
sped on. Those children had to be sent to 
school, and provided with books, as well as to 
be fed and clothed. He felt truly that the 
noblest heritage lie could leave them, was the 
best education his means afforded, and that in¬ 
tellectual treasures were to be prized above 
silver and gold. 11 is wife coincided in his 
views, seconded his efforts, and lent her best 
energies to discharge the responsible duties of 
a mother. She managed the household with 
prudence, and failed in nothing on her part; 
but still, t,he best that could be done was to 
make the ends of the year meet, without any 
advancement towards a competence for their 
old age. The farm was still encumbered, and 
as the time came round which was stipulated 
for payment, there was nothing in the fam¬ 
ily treasury to meet the demand. Times were 
hard, and money could not lie obtained on the 
most undoubted security without the payment 
of usury. There was no alternative, however, 
but to submit to the demands Of the money¬ 
lenders, and a mortgage on the farm of one 
thousand dollars, at live per cent, semi-annual 
interest, was the best thing that could be done. 
In some respects, the prospects of the family 
improved, however. A market, in consequence 
of the opening of the Erie Canal, was afforded 
for produce, and lands were rapidly rising in 
value, so that Mr. Kino believed if lie could 
manage to pay his interest, and gradually im¬ 
prove his farm, even if lie was obliged to sell 
in the end, there would be a surplus left, after 
paying off the incumbrance. Some of the 
elder of the children were likewise now able 
to provide for themselves, lie had given 
them a good common school education, the 
best he could afford to do for them, and one 
or two had gone to trades. One more atnbi 
tious than the rest, or less willing to labor 
physically, had aspirations collegeward, and 
urged his father to assist him in acquiring a 
liberal education; but he was met by the re¬ 
ply: —«lt cannot be done in justice to your 
brothers and sisters! I might possibly aid you 
partially in* such an undertaking, but I could 
not pay the whole expenses of your course; 
and, besides, all 1 could do for you above a 
common school education, would lie injustice 
to the other children. Rigid impartiality be¬ 
tween you all, is my fixed and unalterable rule. 
I should be glad to see you all graduates of a 
University, but that being out of the question, 
you must be content with what chances of ed¬ 
ucation 1 can give you equally. 
“ But you are willing I should go, if I can 
pay my own way, are you not ?” rejoined the 
youth. 
“ That is impossible. It would cost twelve 
hundred dollars at the very least, to go 
through College, and such a sum you could 
not earn under any circumstances.” 
“But 1 might earn a portion of it, and per¬ 
haps some gentleman who has the funds would 
be willing to lend me the balance, to be re¬ 
paid in after years.” 
“It is preposterous to think of it; you can¬ 
not loan money, on real estate security even, 
short of ten per cent., and who would be will¬ 
ing to lend you, a mere boy, any such sum on 
personal security alone?” 
Ho the subject dropped, and the boy went to 
a trade. Jle went to it, however, with the 
lingering hope and desire for a College educa¬ 
tion, and at a later period in life, actually ac¬ 
complished it by the labor of his own hands. 
What will not tireless energy and an unwaver¬ 
ing pursuit of a specific object finally overcome! 
The elder sisters also had done something 
for themselves. Two of them boarded at 
home, and walked a mile and a half to a select 
school, located in the village, and there ac¬ 
quired an education which qualified them to 
become teachers of district schools. 
If matters had thus continued to prosper 
with the family, the pecuniary difficulties under 
which they labored would have been surmount¬ 
ed; but at this juncture a series of unsuccess¬ 
ful harvests, dullness in all except the money 
market, and oilier untoward circumstances, 
plunged Air. King deeper and deeper into debt 
In addition to this, his own health began to 
fail. The severe labors of his whole life told 
upon his constitution, and besides, the period 
of active service was past with him. Creditors 
pressed for their demands, and seeing no other 
means of relieving himself from the load of 
embarrassment, except by disposing of the 
farm, he advertised it for sale. Speculators 
looked at it, and held back under the idea that 
a forced sale must come at last, and then a 
better purchase could be made. A. pressing 
necessity is the worst possible recommendation 
for a sale; and any article, from a farm down¬ 
ward to a load of wood, is never in better 
demand than when the holder refuses to part 
with it on any terms; while on the other hand, 
if it must be disposed of, the unlortunate own¬ 
er may go begging for a purchaser in vain. 
Certain good neighbors, such as exist un¬ 
fortunately in every community, who are envi¬ 
ous of other’s prosperity, and never foci better 
than when they see misfortunes accumulating 
outside of their own household, united in cry¬ 
ing down the farm in the market. One indi¬ 
vidual who secretly desired to purchase at a 
low figure on his own account, declared that a 
man would grow poor upon such a piece of 
land. “Old King,” he said, “ bought the farm 
for a song years ago, and owed to-day twice 
over what it cost.” Another said “the noses 
of the whole family would have to come upon 
the grindstone yet. The girls prided them¬ 
selves on being better scholars than others, and 
went to school when they ought to be spin¬ 
ning like his own daughters. It was true, they 
could cipher and parse, and all that sort of 
thing, but he would like to know what that was 
good for?” These and other causes interfered 
with the sale, and men looked forward to a 
final breaking up of the family; some, like 
those above described, with a feeling of grati¬ 
fied malice, but the larger portion of the little 
community, who really esteemed an honest and 
upright family, with real pain. 
While these things were transpiring, a great¬ 
er misfortune fell upon the family in the removal 
of the father, as we have stated above, by 
death. The .estate had then to be settled at 
all events; and the widow and children as¬ 
sembled in the humble parlor to devise the 
ways and means of doing so to the best advan¬ 
tage. One sentiment pervaded the entire 
household, and that was to preserve from even 
a shadow of reproach, the reputation of the 
deceased. 
“ lie has lived an honest and an honorable 
life, and done his duty by us as a parent,” re¬ 
marked one of the sons, “ and we would be un¬ 
grateful to suffer even the stain of insolvency 
to rest upon his memory.” 
“ If he had his honest dues, and had not been 
compelled to pay the unjust demands of men 
who took advantage of his embarrassments, 
there would be sufficient on hand to-day to 
pay off all his debts, and leave the farm for the 
use of mother and the younger children,” re¬ 
marked another. 
“That is no fault of honest and conscientious 
creditors,” responded the first; “and now that 
father is in his grave, there is not one of us, I 
am sure, but would rather endure hardships 
and poverty, than to receive a fortune at the 
expense of his integrity. It is far better that 
he goes to hi.vest as the sufferer, than the in- 
llictor of wrong.” 
“If mother were protected,” observed one of 
the sisters, “ the balance might go; it is too bad 
that she is to be left unprovided for at last, 
after such a life of labor and trials as hers has 
been.” 
“But she will be provided for, partially at 
least; the farm is worth five thousand to-day, 
and is encumbered only for one thousand. 
Creditors cannot touch the dower interest 
while she lives, and after that let them have it.” 
“But at this juncture the widow interfered, 
declaring she would claim nothing until the cred¬ 
itors were paid to the utmost farthing. With 
this understanding, one of the young men more 
accustomed than the others to the details of 
business, was joined with the widow in the ad¬ 
ministration. She signed voluntarily a release 
of dower in favor of the creditors, and the 
mass of loose and unadjusted claims were 
looked into and settled. Home claimants did 
say that the joint Administrator was too pre¬ 
cise, and rejected items of account that ought 
to have been allowed; but the number of 
suspicious and illegal demands always presented 
on sueh occasions, requires an Administrator 
to be a strict constructionist if he would pro¬ 
tect the interests of the widow and the orphan. 
However, none of the grumblers had sufficient 
confidence in the justness of the rejected claims 
to attempt their establishment by a suit at law, 
and no others had occasion for such an appeal. 
The Administrators asked of the principal 
creditors an extension ol time, which was 
cheerfully granted; the personal property was 
collected and sold, and the avails distributed, 
and an application then made to the Surrogate 
for an order to sell the real estate. 
At this time a remarkable and favorable 
change took place in the price of lands. Cali¬ 
fornia and Australia were pouring into the lap 
of commerce their millions on millions of gold; 
speculations in produce stimulated the markets 
to great activity, and reports of deficient crops 
in Europe called for an increased amount of 
American grain. Farms rose in the market, 
and lands that could scarcely be sold previous¬ 
ly at any price, were now sought after with 
avidity. The order to sell was granted, and 
the farm advertised for auction early in the 
spring, and the widow and heirs looked forward 
with great anxiety to the day of sale. Men 
who had hoped to purchase for less than the 
land was worth, were despondent, and those 
who really wanted a farm at a fair price set 
themselves at work to prepare for a spirited 
contest. The day of sale at length arrived, 
and a large number of competitors were early 
on the ground. Not a cloud obscured the 
sky, and the few warm days which had pre¬ 
ceded, gave nature a smiling aspect and an 
earnest of returning spring. The auctioneer 
mounted the boards, and the bids commenced, 
slowly and heavily at first,and at a low figure; 
but as the audience began to warm up by 
competition, the bidding became more spirited; 
the countenances of the Administrators bright¬ 
ened as each successive dollar on the acre 
was added to the price, amid the jokes and 
felicitous observations of the auctioneer. Once 
or twice a bid of five dollars on the acre was 
made by some bold or bluffing competitor, 
which would come in like a broadside upon 
the opposing parties; and then again dollar 
or half dollar bids would succeed, like dropping 
shot from a party of skirmishers, until at last 
the contest was left to two or three men of 
ample means and undoubted credit, and the 
farm was finally struck off to them in parcels, 
and at prices that came fully up to the expec¬ 
tations of those most interested in the sale.— 
The avails were sufficient to pay off all the 
debts, and leave a surplus of eighteen hundred 
dollars for the use of the widow during her life, 
and to be eventually distributed among the 
heirs. The croakers were silenced, the solven¬ 
cy of the estate established, and a humble in¬ 
come, notwithstanding the voluntary and self- 
sacrificing relinquishment of her legal rights in 
favor of creditors, was saved to the widow, and 
a small reversion preserved for ultimate distri¬ 
bution among the heirs.

erty; but much worse not to make fuse of law¬
