For many weeks that room was kept dark ened. ond often, in those weeks, (ho stillness of midnight was ,broken by the incoherent ra vings of delirium ; and for many, many days the spirit of that strong woman hovmd on the brink of tho dark valley. And through oil those long nights and weary days an angel in human form watched by the bedside, a gcnile 'hand smoothed tho aching brow that had so often been, bent In anger upon her, and her light touch seemed to have more effect in sooth ing and restraining her in delirium than nil the medicines tho physicians could demise. And, at last, when the crisis passed, and the sufferer sank Into a deep sleep; from which she: would awaken either to health and happiness ,or In eternity, with what anxiety did husband and friends await her awakening. And when she opened her ej'es, smiled and calltd her husband by name, hdw sincere was the “ Thank God,” that went up from every heart ? ond When May sank down on her knees by tho bedside, how quickly ihey followed her example, and howat tenlively they listened to tier earnest, childish voice as it arose in thanks to tho Giver of nil good. ♦ » ♦ * • * May, come here,if you please." How different that gentle ‘oned request from the harsh command recorded in the beginning of our story ; and to have supposed that both came from the same lips—yet so tt was. Mrs. Danloh was slowly recovering but yet unable to leave her bed ; and May was always at hand to anticipate every want, to prepare the cooling draught and give the strengthening cordial, to smooth tho milled pillow, and raise the wasted form ; and all.done so quietly that no one seemed to notice it. In answer to her mistress* call, she gently approached the bed, and, lading her hand.lightly on the moist brow of the skik woman, bent over her, . With a sodden cflort the wasted arms of tho sufferer .were thrown around her neck, and she .exclaimed: . . ** Oh i May, May! can. you ever forgive mo for treating you as T have f I fiavcnol used you aslsbould. May: -but. if God lets mo live, I will do my best to repair ray error." !‘ If you bate done wrong, to Him, and not to mo, should you go for forgiveness; and may He forgive you os Jrcely os I do," answered May. ' Mrs. Panton soon recovered her health, and; from that time forward, no child was ever lov ed and caressed move than. May. Ucr gentle care during her .mistress’ sickness, had com pletely won the lady’s heart: Mr. Danlori had always liked her; and now no expense seemed too great, riothinglloo ftmeh,thmbte lha't would qontributb- to her happiness. l . ’. ■ft-J'yrfrWirrmmrd^OcaunTul child into a lovely maiden. Then a change came. The California gold mines had just been discovered* and thousands were flocking to tho shores of the Pacific. Mr. Danton determined to go, and accordingly proposed that the farm should bo sold, and a house rented in the nearest town for his wife and May to occupy during his ah scncc. But Mrs. Danton most emphatically said no to such an arrangement. “ I can carry dn lh6’.farming during your absence," said she, “and May must goto the Seminary, in M , to finish her educa tion." Mr. Dantoh concluded ihat this would bellie best plan, and accordingly. Iho same day that ho departed for the land of gold.. May became an inhabitant of the M. Seminary. M. waa a picturcsquctownon the sea-shore, of a thousand souls, supported principally by the school and tho fisheries which kept the male population from homo during half the year. Ono morning about three weeks after May’s arrival at M., as sho was ascending from the school room to her chamber, she involuntarily paused on hearing her name mentioned in an adjoining room. “ “ I don’t |lko her fit all,” said a voice which May recognised ns belonging to Knlo Emmons, ono of iter schoolmates. “She seems to think herself too good to associate with common peo ple.” . ** To nic «ho appears hind and amiable, tho’ rather timid and reserWd.” replied Kale’s com panion. whoso name was Fonny Morton. , 44 Timid and reserved!

And faithfully and well did she perform her task, never ceasing in her watchful cafe except to take such rest as was absolutcly-ncccßsary ; ever ready to administer the health restoring medicine, and to attend to every want; and, when Kate began to recover,' bearing patiently with her fretful spirit, till by the time she was well enough to begin to talk of going to her home to remain A few weeks she was almost sick herself. *fX must go'back lo Daisy Dell and spemLa few weeks, for,l am. almostiwom out with watching; but underthe kind care of my good foster mother, I shell soon be as,’strong as ev er,” said she. as Kate read a letter she had just written.

If you call such disinterested conduct only doing your duty, but, very few do ihcir duty.” “ True, few do; but that Is no reason why I should not.” “ May, you arc tho most noble hearted girl I ever saw : and I have longed ever since T bdgan to get well, to ask your forgiveness for.thinking of you as I once did: I thought yqu proud and selfish, but I never was more mistaken In my life. Say. dear May, will you forgive me?" exclaimed Kate, throwing her arms around our heroine’s neck. “ I have nothing to, forgive. Kale: it is na tural for - people to judge each other, harshly, and some make it a point to consider others their enemies untij they have proved themselves to bo friends." . “I fear what you say is too tru£; but you have-hot yet promised to accompany me home. You will go« *ill you not ?" " I suppose- I must, for I fear you arc not strongenough yetlobe trusted to travel alone: for just this little conversation has fatigued you, I Cnn plainly see by your looks, so now you must'.rest awhile; or you will not bo well enough logo to-morrow." o. On the dor succeeding this conversation May accompanied. Kate to Elm .Grove..where she won the hearts of nlLwho met her by her gen tleness and kindness, and lost her own to young Edward -Emmons,.
