seek other information, should app.

| At the first knock a chorus OF canine
voices rose upon the air, and effect

Saul waited till the clamor had
somewhat subsidized, and then knock
ed more gently; at the same time,
raising his voice, he begged to be told
the name Of the place, and how far it
was from the coast.
For a minute all was stil1-the dogs
appeared to have been quoted; there
was ahurried movement within, and
the light. disappeared.
Again he Knocked, and again in an
! cry tones repeated his demand.
But no answer came-the loud bark
OF the dogs sounded from another
part of the building; and, after a few
minutes delay, Saul, with another
dreadful oath, went on his way.
CHAPTER XIV.
But Nelly was unaware OF her sec
ond deliverance, insensible to the mar
row escape she had had; for her, the
| terrors OF anticipation or the gratitude
for danger avoided no longer existed;
| for the time, life and all it's cares, all
her own troubles, and WEAKNESS, and
| heart breaking were a blank.
When good dame Tibbetts again
visited her patient, before herself re-
firing for rest-after the alarm Of her
self and niece, occasioned' by the I'm
usual application at their doors, had
subsidized she found the poor woman
in a high fever, and in a state OF mind
bordering OH delirium.
There needed not much considera-
ton on her part to decide on remain
ing by the bedside Of her strangely
found charge, and, dismissing her
neice at once to her nights rest, sheen
tered upon the self-imposed duty, like
the verltable Samaritan she was.
Through whole week of painful,
tedious sickness these kind creatures
nursed the unhappy Nelly; the dame
administering her own simple rene
dies, soothing her troubled mind, and
restoring the >fainting and suffering
frame, :-s.1-,s
The malady did not take any turn
so alarming which the good woman
deemed to- call for medical aid She
had, through a long life, neither sought,
it for herself nor others whom She had
nursed through far worse affection;
and perhaps she did not err very much
in the reliance On Nature, left to her.
SELF IL. 81.
The stranger was suffering; in fact,
from thereaction consequent upon ex-
cessive tension of the powers, bodily
and mental; the last stroke OF terror
had overcome her, and she lay utterly
PROSTATE. s-...
For two days and a night she wan
dered pitifulfy in her mind; at times,
talked of things utterly incomprehen-
sible to her kind watcher, chiefly ex-
horting her to protect and save her
child, of whose welfare she never lost
sight, though failing to recognize even
her presence. -.
AS much as was possible, they kept
Ida from her. room; the pretty niece,
Rachael, being quite content to make
her her constant care. The child was
never happy but by her mothers bed
side, yet she yielded to the young
woman's kindly caresses, and was won
upon to relate, in her artless way,
many incidents OF their weary flight,
and of much preceding it, that set
Rachael pitying, and filled her with
curiosity to know more.
Rest and Kindness, nourishing food,
and, more than all, q blessed sense of
safety, gradually restored the sufferer,
and at the end of the week she had
left her bed, and was sitting, with her
child upon her lap, beside her good
Samaritan to whom she had been re-
lating SO much OF her story as suffic-
ed for the general understanding of
her situation.
The good woman sat for some min.
utes in silencee then she said, gently
II guessed much Of what thee hast
told me; perhaps it might be from
some of what thee hast said in thy
sickness, unknowingly. And I am
glad thee hast told me the truth, else
l. should have thought worse Of thee,
Judging, as I say, what was thy grief.
Young woman, | am sorely grieved
for thee indeed, and thy case seems a
sad one, yet l cannot approve thy
act
:sThou say'st thy husband was
harsh and unlind, and thy life. was
aweary; yet thee shouldst remember
that He who. lays the burthen upon
us will not suffer it to bear us to the
earth, and that, though we bend and
groan beneath it's weight, we have no
right to cast it from us, nor to say,
1T is heavier than / can bear, | will

She stopped, for Nelly, leaning over
her sleeping child, was weeping.
Nay, :" the dame went on, do not;
think me harsh nor unkind Indeed,
I am. but saying that | believe, and
which deem most wise and prudent,
and beftting one who has a Christian
part to fill.
Good had seen fit thou shouldst be
this mans wife, and thou hadst so
accepted him. Was it then for thee,
after thou hadst so become, to
