I am slowly and surely I is nine hundred and dollars I Vou will see by my note what ments I made and I hope they will be satisfactory Eva left him with a lighter heart and a burning cheek at his praise His ner was gentle so fatherly that she felt he impose hard conditions and it would be a pleasure to pay one so kind and forbearing At last she got home and breathlessly sitting at her mother's feet she opened her letter of bank wiping every from my husband's my greatest earthly comfort or looking at its vc Mr Miner is his last creditor and God Read said willing every cent shall be paid Her coarser relative responded with an emphatic arid angrily left her presence At last I have said a silvery voice and a sweet face glad and brilliant brightened up the gloom Only see mother ten dollars

to weary toil a sacrifice upon the duty Can it be that God requires Eva knelt at her mother's feet where sho had fallen with all the abandon ofa child her glance fastened upon the ing gold Lifting her glance she met that of her mother full of anxiety touched with row A sudden smile broke over her delicate features I was only thinking of the endless things this money would look so grave mama such a beauty warm shawl for you and a neat crimson cover for that untidy old arm chair a bit ever so little of carpet to put down by the bed that your feet need not feel thc cold floor and a pretty cap besides coal and tea and sugar and such nice comfortable things and she sprang to her feet brushed back her brown curls and drew on her neat mind I'll may be write a book one of days that'll make you and 1 rich And dear heart I call upon the father to reward 1 what said Eva smiling through her tears I felt as if he was an of goodness Oh they do wrong who say that all who are wealthy have hard
