position. Life became to her a long and lingering • disease ; for youth and nature struggled hard with her decay. And now the ajniable part of poor Edward Smith's character showed itself in the most marked manner — he devoted himself to her comfort, with the zeal of the most ardent affection. All he had (so I have learned since his death), even to his books, (and what a sacrifice was that to him !) were sold one by one, to procure her every relief. He never left her by day, and at night he woul...d watch by her sick-bed with all the tenderness of the most anxious care. So ill was she, yet so painfully did she linger on, that I have been assured, for some weeks before her death, he never enjoyed one night's un- disturbed repose. I have also heard that he had drawn so continually on the bounty of his friends, that he concealed his extreme wants at the very hour when relief was most needed. At length his wife died ; and left him with the youngest helpless infant. It was affecting to hear how the poor father, on the day of her death, would take the child in his arms, endeavouring to recall the living image of its mother by looking in its face ; un- conscious as it was of the widowed grief and the deso- lation of that father's heart.
