CHAPTER II.

Eight years have passed since little
Minnie was found, child apparently
about four years old-cight long years
ofjoy and sorrow, and more of sorrow
did they bring to old Mr.. Bell than of
Joy. His little farm was under mort,
gage, and he could see no way of get
ting clear of it. Old age was creeping
on him, so that the management of the
farm fell on "Unce Peter" the old
black man. Mr.. Flint, the man who
held the farm under mortgage, was a
hard hearted wretch; by one fraud and
another he had got father Bell in his
power. Of all this Minnie knew no.
thing; the good old people kept their
trouble to themselves, not wishing to
mar the happiness of their adopted
child; but it could not always be so.
Minnie was now thirteen, and father
Norton thought it his duty to inform
her of their situation; so one day, af-
ter she had rooted her lesson, he said
to her, "My dear child, | have some
thing to say to you which have been
putting off from time to time, fearing
that your young heart would be too
much panied, but the time will come
sooner or later, and | think it my duty
to prepare you for it, You have doubt
less noticed the rapid decline Of your
kind father; the sands of life are almost
run out; butyou are not aware, sup
pose, that he is in great trouble. That
man that you saw with him yesterday
holds everything-every comfort he
possesses, Of worldly nature, is in his
own hands. He can take your home,
and all in it, at any time. Now, Min.
ME, do not despair, but look to God,
he will never forsake you"
In mute despair had Minnie sat du-
ring this recital. Now rousing herself
she arose, passed over to father Norton
and knceling she asked his blessing,
then passed out a woman. She had
entered child, but child she was no
more. Almost unconsciously she re-.
traced her steps homeward; when she
entered the cottage, Mrs. Bell exclaim-
ed, "Why my dear child, what is the
matter? You are i'll, are you not?
"My dear mother, do not alarm
yourself about me-, said Minnie affec-
tionately kissing her, cit is only q
slight headache that will be we'll by
morning; let me so to my room for the
rect Of the evening"

3.p" Yes, we will keep her if we fail to

Mr.. Bell did all in his power to find
the friends of the little one so strange
~ thrown on his care, but allin vain.
Very kind was he to his little daughter,
as he called her, and Minnie soon ceas.

was she in her humble cottage home.
lime sped on and Minnie had almost
forgotten that the good old people were
not indeed her parents. l
Miss Smith opens her school to-
morrow" said Mr.. Bell one evening
when Minnie was about six years old,
"we must send our daughter"
" Yes, she is old enough. Tam very
glad that we have the opportunity Of
sending her. Minnie would you like
to 60 to school" !"
80 yes! dear mother, then I shall
learn to read, you know that can spell
now. Oycs, I'shall like to CO." s
And soon little Minnie learned to
read to the great Joy of her FOSTER
mother, for never was mother more
proud of her child than was Mrs. Bell
of her darling, and very hard did little
Minnie study. At first she only tho't
of pleasing her mother; but as she
grew older an intense love of learning
took possession of her; she thirsted for
one draught of the fountain of wisdom,
and the fount was unsealed-the pure
sweet water gushed out, and Minnie was
allowed the rare pleasure of drinking a
long deep draught. On and on in the
path of learning went Minnie, outstrip-
ping every one Of her schoolmates, and
even her teacher at last was compelled d
to acknowledge that she could take her
no farther Then to old father Norton
she went; he and his gentle wife had
always done all in their power for her;
Mrs. Norton giving her lessons in mu-
sic and necdlcwork; and now father
+ Norton commenced giving her lessons
in the higher branches of English, be-
sides French, and Drawing. Ercelsio,
was Minnie's motto. No state of me-
diocrity would satisfy her-she under.
took nothing that she did not excel in.
Winning the hearts of all who knew
her, as we'll as storing her mind with
useful knowledge, we leave Minnie for
awhile, while we glance at father Bell.
