; cred for him, and enjoyed his pleasure, and
. his cheerful thanks, and could not refuse
when he asked me to bring my sewing and
sit with him.
1T was such relief to have some one to
talk to- he said; he was tired of keeping
still
So l came and sat near his couch, and lis
tened while he talked. He told me of TIE
different places he had visited, Of rambles on
the White Hills, of wild ravlne and laughing
streams and snowy cascades, describing them
with such enthusiasm, that forgot my usual
reserve, and questioned and laughed as had
never done before.
And then he told me of his brother, an ar
fist, now in Italy, and how fortunate for him
the good deacon's legacy had been, coming
just as he lonsed to SO abroad, but had not
the means. and l. seeing at once the reason
why Arthur had chosen the store, honored
him for his choice.
The next day was Saturday, and as was
going down the street, stopped to ask if |
could do any errand for Mr. Brownly.
Oh. yes he said eagerly, if | would stop
at the store and see if any letters had come,
and ask Sam Johnson to bring some of his
things from Mrs Johnson's, where he board
ed, he would be much obliged. 50 he wrote
list, and | took it to the store, and having
done my own errands, CAME cheertully back,
glad that | carried III my hand two letters
fol Arthur. One had many stamps and
mar KS on it, and felt sure that it was from
the artlst-brother, and SO il proved. Arthur
read me many extracts from it, and | knew
thy OF each other.
The other was from his only sister, who
was great invalid, and had not been appri-
sed of this accident.
That night Sam Johnson brought the
things, and unpacked them from the basket
IN Which his mother had carefully placed
them. They were several books, two pic
