went home determined, by persistent effort,
to lind where her error was, and she con-
tinned to strive until long after the rest of
the family had retired. Towards midnight
her mother, whe slept in an adjoining room,
called to her daughter that she had better

in a few moments was fast asleep. About
IL hour afterwards Mrs. Lawson was again
awakened by a sudden noise in her

in entire darkness She called, but
receiving no answer, arose to see what
wes the matter. Jennie was sitting at her
desk, and had apparently just completed
some work on her slate the noise having
been made by the falling of ruler from

asleep. Mrs. Lawson did not wake her at
