THE CLOUD.

/ Maria West grew pretty strong
again. 1t was Mrs. Vests pleasure
to allow her TO remain at the G!ebt
Farm, for she did not well know
how the house would get on without
her; and indeed there was no other
home open to her. She pursued beI
various occupations with outward
quietness, but not with inward peace:
for as the days aud weeks went on,
and nothing further. arose, a feeling
grew upon Maria that she should
never be cleared. Sighting words
and scornful looks were cast owards
her; the neighbors turned their heads
as she passed, and visitors treated
her with cold silence. Maria would
go into her own room and sit there,
away from ALL she strove TO find
comfort in studying the many in
stances, some what similar to her
own case, recorded III the Bible,
where God had suffered His people
to be afflicted for time; and though
dependence occasionally got the do
minion over her, yet there were
hours when her heart positively
glowed within her at the perfect
trust she felt in God. She read and
reread the history of Joseph; how,
for long, he was an exile, shut up in
prison, seemingly abandoned and
forsaken. And yet, God was with
him there-was himself ordering
these very troubles, in His own won.

triumphant end, conducting to his ex-

good of others at large. Were the
dark days of his tribulation remem-
bered by Joseph in his prosperity?
Ay, doubtless they were, and re-
garded as a boon granted him.
Whatsoever may be Gods dealings,
they are full of goodness, of wisdom,
of mercy; and to those who patient
ly wait his time for the proof, never
doubling, they will be found so.
Maria dwelt on the history of Job
Was any man afflicted like unto him?
But he did not lose bis trust in God
He had patience; and he was brought
through his affections, and his CAP

The clergyman rose, and bending

the mighty refuge of God. Did any

No; never since the world began.
