RHYTHM. Her cold, loveless nature in the pres
ence of this tiny girl was already becoming
| Christ-like Ia its tender ministry.
| Dot offered her evening prayer and was mt
| in Miss Roxbury's own stately bed.
"Good night, dear, -" said Miss Roxbury, with
a kiss.
the great bunch of white roses she had brought
to bed with her; ~ feel zif I'd died an gone
| to Heven."
Miss Roxbury passed wakeful night. but
not restless one. Her mind was filled with
| plans and then it was such pleasure to lie
and listen to the soft breathing at her side
and occasionally to touch the little hand on
the Counterpart, still holding the treasured
roses.
The next day Dot ran nearly wild with de-
! light She reveled among the daisies in the
deep soft grass, and it was pitlful to see how
small an object could charm her hungry mind
Gods commonest gifts were unknown to her
in their bounty and purity. Sunshine, sweet
air, flowers and bird-sOngs were en- ugh to
make her happy, and when she found the brook
that danced across the meadow herdelight was
unbounded. After day or two Miss Roxbury
took the morning train down to Bradleyvie to
do some shopping. She was gone until night,
and all the way home she thought of the glad
voice that would welcome her, and her face
grew so radiant with the new Joy in her soul
that when she alghted, laden with parcels, at
the LynfOrd station, old Deacon Bennett failed
to recognize her until she had passed him.
"Wall, declare, " he said, Reliance looks as
if she'd disliiyered a gold-mine."
Miss RoXbury reached home, and soon had
the ''gold-minen in her arms.
After tea the parcels had to be opened. There
were paper patterns, rolls of muslin, embroid-
cry and blue flannel, pair of child's slippers,
dainty hose, bright ribbons aud large doll.
