entertainment to her relations and friends, but the poor, for miles round, were collected together to partake of her hospitality: and on this occasion every face glowed with smiles of happiness.

Fatima's former days had showed her the sufferings and privations of the poor; and now she had the power, she determined to better their condition. With this view, instead of the miserable hovels usually inhabited by the labouring poor, she had annually several comfortable and pleasant cottages built, and to each one she added, a large plot of ground. To every labouring family upon her extensive estates, she gave one of these cottages, and where there were a family of children, she added to this gift a cow, and a few sheep. By this means, she enabled them, by their own exertions, instead of occasional want, always to secure a humble competence; and in a very short time, every person upon her estate was rendered happy, and became her firm friend.
