NUMBER a.

Hush III tell you, said Kit in low tone,
much perplexed; how to describe all this
glory which she had trusted Jenny would
feel, she knew not.
What is it?' repeated Jenny in lower
tone, butstilmore eager to receiyean answer
It's the sky away up above US. began
Xii, blue, and little cloudy, and the trees
all around us, and hill and white stones all
about, some of 'ein high and elegan.--and
these are for the gentlemen and ladies bu-
ried under 'em---ts the flowers, and the
grass, and the water over yondcr with yes
sells sailing up and down
Yes, said Jenny quietly, as II altogeth-
err satisfied with the account, what is it We
are going to do with jane
Put her in the ground, and shut the door
up, that means
What, kip
TO Gil in tho earth
And leave her alone"
'Ycs--no--there's hundreds OF 'em here
besides her, she Amt alone
What's that? what was it that fell?
Where, jenny
'On my foot
That! its only an old leaf bowed along
by the wind
'Oh, Kit, If we could stay here always Kit
What, darling
If should die
Die! come grandfather is waiting for
us, take my hand, there--you Amt going to
die. What would do then?'
, But if | should Kit, before you--it's here
Yes, l know all about that, said Kit,
hurrying her on.
Iiyou should die first, persisted Jenny.
Il shan't,' returned Kit, resolutely such
a thought was not TO be entertained for a
moment. With her red, rough hand she
dashed away the tears that gathered in her
eyes as she looked AZ Jenny and tho't upon
herself, for moment, ii a new light, as up
on one liable to disease and death-'Y You'll
have me by you as long AS You have your.
self, you will, Don't be saying such things
to make me mad; and you mustn't be S
thinking Of EN-. either
/ Notwithstanding the injunction Kit her
! self did, and could but think of them. She
recalled to mind che. persons of whom she
had heard, some whom she had personally
known, who had been suddenly taken out
of the world by accident or pestilence.
Strength was in her limbs-she felt equal
to any amount of labor-it was long, sha
knew, before she could wear out, hut now
that Jenny had brought up the possibility
of death in her own case. she could not drive
the thought away. 1t cast a gloom over
her second feslival-it marked heavily her
second journey TO the country,
The expenses of James sickness and fu-
neral bad quite exhausted the resources of
the old man, and nearly those of Kit. OF
the money she had managed to save, but
few Shllings were left 10 her after the car
riage hire was paid, No more was said of
the projected country tour TakingJenny
into counsel, Kit resolved on an indulgence
that should take tie place of this-they
would buy plaster cast for the gave of
Jane-a monument like those that Kit saw
at the head OF many graves in The cemetery
of the poor. This, they said to each other,
they would take up to James grave some
pleasant day.
And now Kit gave herself no rest. Early
and late she was at work. There was no
other way foy her. The old mans consti-
tuition was much broken before his Grand
child's death--his lie was constantly be-
coming more and more burdensome TO him.
AS long AS she remained he had an object
in view that made him forget his own in
frmiies-hcr cemfort was to be provided
for-but when she was gone both the mo-
tive and strength for exertion was gone
lie now went out but rarely into the
streets, and could do but little at home
and Kit, who had not only the courage but
the strength tc rise triumphant above any
amount OF labor, and make the burden APP
pear trifing and agreeable, went usually
alone hawking the mats in The streets. dis.
posing them to passing purchasers, or at the
doors of houses, or at little by shops round
the corners. Jenny was very swift at .weav-
ing, and so they went into the streets occa-
sonally, and on the finest days, to sing.
Thus through the long hot summer did
they live and labor Once, according TO
the purpose they had formed on the day of
Jare's Burial, they went into The country to
place the little plaster image on her grave.
For hours they fingered in the lovely place,
it was garden Of delight to them-sitting
to rest on the grassy banks beneath the
willows, on the margin of the pond where
the fountain played, or walking up and
down the shady paths; Kit. by her eloquent
descriptions, brought the place before the
mind of Jenny. SO that she could but feel,
although see saw it not. There under a
cloudless sky they wandercd through the
cool green avenues. beggars both, blind
both you might have said who believe tn at
the love OF nature comes ofeducational pro-
cesses, but the eyes of both were opened,
and they were not beggars, but of those
poor who stand forever opponents fthe So
cial system as it has prevailed hitherto
Among those monuments of art they stood,
amid the sweetness of the solitude, which
were still solitude though the city's stream
of life poured through its paths. and not the
glory of the day gave higher evidence of
the love than the watchful care these sis
tiers OF want bestowed upon each other
not an elaborate monumental pillar of them
