or a sign of proof-with a sisters. gentle
forbearance-with a handful of flowers in
a green and dainty meadow-with birds
nests admired, but not touched-with
creeping ants, and almost imperceptible
e~mmets-with pleasant walks in shady
lanes, and with thoughts directed in
sweet and kindly tones and words to ma

virtue and to the source of all good
