John went back to the city on Monday
morning, and Sally went into her school
room with face so bright that the children
felt its sunshine and insensibly became

have an aim in life, something to do beyond
mere routine work something to hope for
and to look forward to.
The little spot of land, fair to look upon
was bought stone hauled, timber located.
Sally was busy with plans. With her own
hands she set out little fruit trees and
bushes, and long before the house took
shape, the garden was a beautiful sight to
see. A carpenter confessed to owing debt
to her father, of which Sally had not known
and offered to work it out, to which the
deacon did not object, and that was so much
gain.
The house was slowly erected, but at the
end of eighteen months beautiful little
home awaited the patient and industrious
girl.
just after the house was finished, John
was married, and Sally went on to the we'd
ding. Everybody admired the pretty coun.

Every one of Sally's pupils had taken
Il lively interest in the progress of the house
and she was surprised, on its completion,
at the arrival of a load of furniture enough
to furnish two room handsomely, and for
which her scholars had been saving and So

delight and profit and when the sad news

would cripple him for months, she went to

to her sunny little cottage, for which she
helped to pay. All three, l said, for n

and care now. There, in the sweet fresh
