who, even amidst their strongest efforts
at giving assistance to others, always
look as though they were asking aid
themselves, and such one was Dero-
thy Stanbury. Her complexion was
pale, but there was always present in 10
tint of pink running here and there

changing, indeed, with every pulse OF
her heart. Nothing ever was sol1el
than her cheek; but her hands WEI Wei

dorothy smiled, but said nothing, and
was then taken up to her bedroom.
indeed, when the aunt and niece sat
down to dinner together, Dorothy had
hardly spoken. But Miss Stanbury had
spoken, and things upon the whole had
gone very well.

"And bread saucel Jane, l do hope
the bread sauce is hot"
If the reader thinks that Miss Stan
bury was Indifferent to considerations
of the table, the reader is altogether
ignorant of Miss Stanbury's character.
When Miss Stanbury gave her niece the
liver wing, and picked out from the
attendant saHsages one that bad been

"And now, my dear, there are mash

Miss Stanbury was standing up as
she said this,-as she always did on such
occasions, liking to have full mastery
over the dish.

Everything is so very NICE"
That's right. / like to see a young

that God sends the good things for us to

right to enjoy my victuals. Jane, this
bread sauce isn't hot. 1t never is hot
Don't tell me; l know what hot is"
Dorothy thought that her aunt was
very angry; but Jane knew Miss Stan
bury better, and bore the scoldinG
without shaking in her shoes.
"And now, my dear, You must take u
glass of port wine. 1t Will do you GOOD
after your journey"
Dorothy attempted TO explain that
she never did drink any wine, but bel
aunt talked down her scruples at once
Gone glass of port wine never did
anybody any harm, and as there is por,
wine, it must be intended that some
body should drink it,"
Miss Staubury, as she slipped hers out
very slowly. seemed to enjoy it much

fire in the CRATE. and she sat with hei
toes on tho fender, and her silk dress
folded up above her knees. She sat
quite silent in this position for quar-,
ter of an hour, every now and then
raising her glass to her lips. Dorothy
sat silent also. To her, in the newness
of her condition, speech was impossible

bury, at last.
AS Dorothy had no idea what would
do, she could make no reply to this.
PPM sure it will do" said Miss Stan
bury, after another short interval

SO they went out, and, finding the
yerger at the Cathedral door, he being
a great friend of Miss Stanbury, they
walked I'D and Down the alsleS, and
Dorothy was instructed as to what
would be expected from her i'll regard
to the outward forms of religion. She
was to 60 to the Cathedral service ON
the morning of every week. day. and on
Sundays in the afternoon. On Sunday
mornings she was to attend the little
church of st. Margaret. On Sunday
evenings it was the practice OF Miss
Staubury to read sermon in the dining
room to all of whom her household con-
sisted. Did Dorothy like daily ser
vices9 Dorothy, who was more patient
than her brother, and whose life had
been much less energetic, said that she
had no objection to going to church
every day when there was not too
much to do.
"There never need be too much to dc
to attend the Lords house." said Miss
Stanbury, somewhat angrily.
"Only fyou've got to make the beds,
said Dorothy.
"My dear, 1 beg your pardon" said
Miss Stanbury. 81 beg your pardon,
heartily. I'm thoughtless old woman,

Later in the evening, when she gave
her niece a candlestick to go to bed, she
repeated what she had said before
"It'ildo very we'll, my dear. I'm sure
it'll do. Bat if you read in bed either
night or morning, I'll never forgive
you."
This last caution was utte:ed with so
much energy, that Dorothy gave little
jump as she promised obedience.
