As Mr. Harewood was one evening sitting with his wife and children,
he told them that he expected soon to receive among them the
daughter of a friend, who had lately died in the West Indies. Mr.
Harewood's family consisted of his wife, two sons, and a daughter:
the eldest, named Edmund, was about twelve years of age; Charles,
the second, was scarcely ten; and Ellen, the daughter, had just
passed her eighth birthday: they were all sensible, affectionate
children, but a little different in disposition, the eldest being
grave and studious, the second lively and active, and as he was
nearer to Ellen's age, she was often inclined to romp with him,
when she should have minded her book; but she was so fond of her
mamma, and was educated with such a proper sense of the duty and
obedience she owed her, that a word or a look never failed to
restrain the exuberance of her spirits.

It was the night after the funeral. Ellice Lisle, the loving wife,
devoted mother, kind mistress, and generous friend, had been laid
away to rest; over her pulseless bosom had been thrown the red
earth of her adopted Virginia, and, mingled with its mocking
freshness, was the bitter rain of tears from the eyes of all who
had known the lowly sleeper. Even Nature joined the general
weeping; for, though the early morning had been bright and
beautiful, ere the mourners' feet had left the new-made grave, the
skies had lowered, and a gentle rain descended. "You have pity upon
me, O Heaven, and you weep for me, O earth," had exclaimed Duncan
Stuart Lisle, as, leading his little Hubert by the hand, he turned
away from his lost Ellice. As night deepened, the rain increased,
and the darkness became intense. The house-servants, timid and
superstitious, had all congregated in Aunt Amy's cabin. Amidst
their grief, sincere and profound, was yet a subject of
indignation, which acted as a sort of safety-valve to their
over-much sorrowing.
