pride of the family She is the only
pledge of love that has twined itself

remained until after tea. At the table
the reverend visitor asked the bless

eyes to the fullest capacity in startled
wonderment. She could not UNDER
stand what had been done, and it was
with great persuasion that her mother
kept her quiet during the time they
were at the table. When they left it
she had formed q great friendship, and
