Lizzie Lees heart sank within her when
the next morning she entered the village school
house. There were about fifty children as =
sembled, some of them taller than herself; be-
sides this, the half of them were so rude aud
awkward looking, that at first glance it SEEM
ed impossible ever to bring them to any de-
gree Of civilization. But the little school.
mistress summoned courage, and with remem-
brance Of the dear, kind mother and gentle
sister at home, depending almost wholly on
herexertion, walked with firm step to her
desk.
The scholars glanc ed uneasily at each Othe
as she turned over the leaves Of large Bible
that lay before her; for Dame Birch had been
accustomed every morning to read two or
three chapters in the good book, and those the
most difficult of comprehension, too, and then
she would finish the morning services by re-
peating a long prayer which had been com
posed BY one Of the deacons Of the village, at
her request, expressly for her, and the words
Of which were as familiar to her hearers as
their alphabet.
During this exercise the children whispered,
giggled, yawned; in short, did everything but
attend to it, for the prayer was filled with
sentences they could not understand, aud the
old lady's voice was remarkably shFill and
unmusicial. Sowhen Lizzie turned over the
leaves of the Bible the youngsters glanced
weaPily at each otEer, as though fatigUed by
the mere thought of what was expected; bat
when she commenced in a low, sweet, but
clear voice to read that beautiful chapter
wherein the Savior says: "Suffer little chill

dom Of Heaven silence reigned throughout
the apartment, and when that was ended, she
clasped her hands and fervently offered a
short prayer for the welfare Of those under her
charge, and for the strength to guide them
Alright, every ear eagerly drank In the words,
and when the bird-like strains Of that musi-
cial voice died away, every eye was turned
with an expression Of half wonder, half admi-
ration upon the new sehOOlmistress.
It was near noon when the door Of the school
room was thrown earelessly open, and tall
strong boy Of some fifteen years entered. He
had abold, but intellectual face, and though
the spirit OF mischief lurked in the corners oi
his mouth, and sparkled in his deep gray eyes
his high brow told Of nObler, better thoughts
to be awakened.
Lizzie Lee raised her head from the book she
held in her hand, and met the saucy look oi
the lad, who still wore his cap on his head.
