Many weeks passed much in the same man
ner, and lsdore grew mere and more weary Of
+ society. She was alone Her only enjoy
meut was walking around the estate, comforting
the sick. aud playing with the children Of the
tenants. One evening she was returning from
such an excursion. and as the sun was setting
behind rich curtain Of crimson and gold, she
threw herself on a bank under the wall Of a
summer house, covered With honeysuckle and
grape vines, TO enjoy the scene. She had NOT
, been there long, when she heard voices, and
not wishing. to be seen, drew still further un-
der the vines.

occupied her attention, and she would have
been conlenied; yet am convinced that she
has mind enough il it could bc properly
strengt thened aud cultivated. Were she fool,
she would be happy here surrounded with
