! living upon the bed by his side The clock
was ticking upon the shelf, and flowers on
the little table at the bedside were still
fresh with the morning dew. The little
window towards the lane was open, and
the light summer air stirred the white mus
lin curtain.
Nellie and little Mary stood for while
awe-stricken in the great hush and still
ness OF the presence of death. Then Mel
lie closed the house, and her tears fell as
she realized that she was doing the last
service she could render her friend. Then
she and little Mary returned TO the settle
ment. and suitable aid was secured and
sent to the cabin.
1t was proposed that Jacques should be
taken ont TO the common burying ground,
but it turned out that he had strictly charg-
ed Nellie that his grave should be at his
home The place he had chosen was where
the flowers grew, and the bees and birds
and the. sunshine came first in spring.
The hermit's wishes in regard to his last
resting-place were complied with. The
funeral was upon the Sabbath; and ~ ser
vice at the settlement was omitted, in or
der that tina people might assemble at the
hermitage 1t was esteemed fortunate that
the missionary pastor was making his
round, travelling with his wife in the
bright. summer weather, along the roads
to the settlements in the wilderness. They
came to the meeting that bright Sabbath
at the little clearing in the woods.
The missionary pastor was venerable
man. who had seen service in the cause of
his Master in many fields. His wife was
a tall, quiet woman. bearing well the dig
nifty of age. The silver was thickening in
her hair, but her features We're still sym-
metrcally nodded and she retained her
queenly tread.
The pastor spoke from the door of the
cabin. while the women were within, and
a congregation of men was upon the out
side
Why did the pastors wife manifest SO
much interest in the cabin and the things
there? She observed the hermit's furni-
ture and his books. After the sermon,
when there was Il little stir in arranging
before burial she ventured to lift worn
copy of Millions Poems from the table at
her side. What was it upon the fly-lcaf
that brought "A little flush to her face !?
Only these faded words, written in an I'M
formed, girlish hand, Happy New Year
to Mr.. Jacques. 1892
Soon the arrangements were over and
the people, according to the country Gus
tom, passed in file by the coffin and looked
their last. 1t was noticed that the pastors
wife wept, and placed "A flower from the
garden upon the breast of the aged sleep
er.
The services were over The body of
Benjamin jacques had been committed to
its kindred dust. The pastor observed
that his wife tremblcd as he aided her to
get into the stout buggy which was his
travelling carriage. As the line of wagons
filed along the road under the trees, the
pastor said in his kindest tone, ''My dear,
You were very much affected by the ser
vices today The wife placed her hand
tenderly upon her husbands arm and re-
