The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-10-08

and she will need the wings of angels
around her-like pavilion-so when she
comes into my mind / say: Angels of all
del1Verance, go to her. And I think she
must be in a great strait now, or
shouldnot feel SO constrained to pray
for her.
"And you believe such prayers avaiIs
for deiiveranee, Annie?''
L am sure it aYails. When we invoke
earnestly and sincerely the help of any
higher and stronger intelligence than
ourselves, they are with us; they come
when the heart calls them, for they are
appointed to be ministers unto those
who shall inherit eternal life," and Hyde
listened silently, yet the words fell into
his deepest consciousness, and after
many years brought him strength and
consolation when he needed them Thus
it is that good woman is a priestess
standing by the altar of the heart; thus
it is that the very noblest education any
man ever gets is what some woman
mother, wife, sister, friend-gives him.
Certainly the letter sent to Corneiia
sped on its way all the more rapidly and
joyfully for the good wishes and unset
fish prayers accompanying it. The very
ship might have known it was the bearer
of good tidings, for if there had been
one of the mighty angels whose charge is
on the. great deep at the helm of The
Good Intent, she could not have gone
more swiftly and surely to her haven
One morning, nearly q week in advance
of Annies calculation, the wonderful
letter was put into Cornelia's hand She
was passing through the hall on her way
to her room when Balthazar brought in
the mail, and she took the little white
messenger without any feeling, but one
of curiosity, concerning 1t. The hand
writing was strange, it was an English
letter, what could it mean?
Let any one who has loved and been
parted from beloved by some misunder-
standing try to realize what it meant to
Cornelia. She read it through in an in
describable hurry and emotion, and then
In the most natural and womanly way
began to cry. No one could have loved
her the less for that sincere overflow Ct
emotions she could not separate or de-
fine. and which indeed she never tried to
understand. 1t was only one wonderful
thought she could entertain-it was not
the fault of Joris. This was the assur-
ance that turned her Joyful tears into
eladder smiles. and that made her step
light as bird on TIE wing US she ran
down the stairs to find her mother for
her happiness was not perfect until she
had shared it with the heart that had
borne her sorrow and carried her grier
through many weary months With her.
Oh, how glad were these two women.
They were almost too glad to speak Sit
ting still was impossible to Cornelia, but
as she stepped quickly to and fro across
the parlor floor she stopped frequently al
her mothers chair and kissed her. She
kissed Annie's letter just as frequently.
1t was such a gracious, noble letter; it
was such a delight to know that friend
ship, so unselfiSh. was waiting for her
1t was together such a marvellous thing
that had come to her that she could not
behave as a superior woman ought to
have done, but then she was not a supe-
rior woman; she was only lovable and
loving, and therefore restless and incon-
sequent.
