Amanda could only ejaeulate, as she cast q
wild look at the stewardess, ..Ship Mary.
New Orleans 2 She sank heavily upon the
mattress; for she had fainted.
The woman ran upon deck and called out
| = Mr.. Waters, your girl is DYING
This was the name of the man who had
treceiyed and opened the box. He hastened
Ito the. cabin, and. by The use OF yolatiles and
water, restored Amanda to Consciousness
She fixed her eyes upon him, as though try
ing to recognize him, and then, with pite-
Gus sigh, placed her hand upon her mouth.
g. Now, Martha," !" said he, !. .be composed.
You are sick, and mist he careful of yourself
Ste~ardess, you had better get her into a
berth, and, after a few houts, she will pruba-

deck.
Amanda was too much exhausted to offer
any resistance |; and the stewardess raising
her UP, she leaned upon her and walked into
a small and rather dnconforiable state room,
and laid herself down in the lower berth.-
Jane, for TINT was the name of the steward
ess, covered her warmly and retired. Aman-
da was now perfectly restored to conscious
ness and self possession. She raised her pi-
Gus heart insupplicatieu to God, to sustain her
under these incomprehensible circumstances.
She remembered that, after drinking tea at

Esfrapgely."e She saw the girl writing at the
table, as she was dropping to sleep. Shere-
called numerous unpleasant dreams she had
had, and now she was evidently very weak
and exhausted. Her tongue was thick. her
voice hoarse, and her head was heavy. She
thought she must have been very i'll, and out
of hermind. Perhaps she had been SO long
time, and was now being taken by her friends
on sea voyage, in order to restore her to
health. 1t already had had good effect up
on her. and she WIS recovering her mind.-
Probably it was her physician who had just
been attending to her, and he had ealled her
Martha merely 10 humor her. She may. 10
her arrangement, have called herself so.-
Perhaps her brother was on board as her pro-
tecter. These thoughts pissed rapidly
through her mind, land she began to thank God
thatsle was recovering her senses. Pray
ns-dsyoutly that she might soon be entirely
restored, she fell asleep, and rested quietly
several hours. The stewardess came in sew
eral times, 10 see how she was.a Amanda
slept so sweetly she did not disturb her.
When she awoke she feltlmuch better and
quite refreshed. Her tongue was Rot SC
nluchsswelled, and she audibly said, - thank
thee, gracious GOO that | lsam restored to my
fright mind. Precons Jesus, blessed be thy
name!" Saying this, she degoufly laid her
hand upon her brenst. She felt something
ihard, undermining her hand into her bosom,
drew out the miniature of James Ballou.-
She had neglected TO TAKE it from her neck
when she retired 10 bed the night before
/" Dear James," said she to herself, 81 did
not forget you in my arrangement" She
opened the case, and there dropped out Q
small piece of papor. She replaced the
miniature in her bosom, and taking up The
paper, read: st
