has been ever heard from her since
she left, it is not probable she is liv-
ing. My father often spoke with re-
greet of her loss. One ofNmy sisters
bears her name, Alice" '''a--'
The tears glistened in Mrs. War
renton's eyes as she rose and brought
the stand with the Bible on it, and
set it in front of the young man;
then, turning TO the record, she
pointed to the inscription.
"This was your grandfather's, she
said; she gave it TO me. You viii
find the Sunderland genealogy for six
generations preserved here" ~.
"And you are Aunt Alice? Is it
possible?" he exclaimed. "This is a
joyful surprise. i felt so lonely
among entire strangers, and every
thing has been strange; but this is the
strangest of ALL" p bnWa
"Here is another Alice" said Mrs.
Warrenton. a9Yt.g a ,lrl1s
| "When / saw her at meeting she
reminded me of my own sister; she
has the Sunderland features" and he
clasped the young girls hand as he
spoke. elbow happy mother will be
when she hears that | have found my
Aunt Alice! She has no idea that you
are in the land of the living. Why
did you never let us hear from your"
because l was too proud. Your
father said he would never own me
for sister if married Azariah, and
l did marry him, and have never
been sorry"
The news spread like wildfire that
the new minister was Mrs. Warren
tons nephew, and the grandson of
one of the first men in New Haven.
People talked it over everywhere, and
wondered why they had not found
out before that Mrs. Warrenton came
from such good family.
"She was never like any one else"
said one; "She was always blessed
good woman" said another; 81 al
ways thought she was awful proud"
said third.
One day Mr.. Sunderland was sit
ting with his aunt, when she made
some inquiry about his mother and
her relatives.
81 do not remember" he said,
"whether l have told you that fathers
first wife is dead. She is probably the
one you refer to. My mother is a
good deal younger than my father
was"
"Then she is a stranger to me. My
brother had some sorrow fall to his
lot; his money did not exempt him
from trouble, it seems" she said
sadly.
"My father was far from rich
man when he died. He went into
the army and his business affairs got
confused, but he left enough to main
tain his family comfortably. My
mother and the girls live at the old
homestead. You must 60 there and
see them and the old place"
When John finished his collegiate
course, he went to Yale for theologi-
cal studies, and Harry came to Hart
land to study with DR.. Hardman, till
the term for medical lectures COM
menced.
"Boys," said the father, 81 want
you to understand your professions
thoroughly. l am able and willing
to pay your expenses. Remember,
the welfare of the souls and bodies of
many human beings will be entrusted
to your care. See to it that the trust

chosen professions of great response
bility."
"When John goes to Yale it will be
good time for you and Aunt Alice
to go to New-Haven and make a
VISIT" urged Mr.. Sunderland.
81 shall have to be at Montpelier,
you know" said Mr.. Warrenton.
"But suppose J0u go with your aunt;
you have had hard year and need a
rest. And as there will be an empty
