Death touches the spring of our common humanity. This
woman had been despised, scoffed at, and angrily denounced
by nearly every man, woman, and child in the village; but
now, as the fact of, her death was passed from lip to lip, in
subdued tones, pity took the place of anger, and sorrow of
denunciation. Neighbors went hastily to the old tumble-down
hut, in which she had secured little more than a place of
shelter from summer heats and winter cold: some with grave-
clothes for a decent interment of the body; and some with
food for the half-starving children, three in number. Of these,
John, the oldest, a boy of twelve, was a stout lad, able to earn
his living with any farmer. Kate, between ten and eleven, was
bright, active girl, out of whom something clever might be
made, if in good hands; but poor little Maggie, the youngest,
was hopelessly diseased. Two years before a fall from a window
had injured her spine, and she had not been able to leave her
bed since, except when lifted in the arms of her mother.
