till she proseuted herself to the Upwards as

needed articles, and Ihodiy beiore she died
the box arrived. She was then, ol course,
too ill to know anjthlng ahout it, ami ye.
lenhiy Mr. Langstair, President of Ibe
Howards, opened the box to find some traco
ol the girl's histury. The box contained
two neat calico dresses, some cuffs and un
di'tgarmenls and several small packages Df
delicacies suitable for the sick, and whicb
had evidently been put up for such a pur
pose. They were carefully teplocid, while
the bystanders turned away with tear
dimmed eyes and silently left the ronm.
The heroine's grave is at a prominent point
not far from tbe gales ol Ibe cemetery.
