To lira. Reed’s remarks her hus

access at school to the society ct her
little friend, Jennie, and their love
for each other was ns true as the love
of David and Jonathan of the Bible.
The summer had gone into autumn,
and Katie Reed was dangerously ill
of brain fever. In her delirium she
would speak of her dear schoolmate,
and cai! Jennie her beautiful friend—
talk of her golden ringleta--of her
musical voice, of her parting kiss.
Sometimes she would ask her to

“ Ma, Jennie is nol a lieggar. She

you would like her if you only knew
how good she is. She has to wear

been very lonesome. She visits his
grave quite often, and when she can
get beautiful flowers she carries them

pronounce “Jennie, dear, come!”
That was enough for his tender and
noble heart. Jennie was sent for
immediately, and Katie recognized
her playmate, her loVeTy friend, as
she.had often termed her during her
illness. The sweet demonstrations
of mutual love by those chi dreii
awakened Mrs. Reed’s maternal a *
tect-ion, and found the door to her
heart. She relented, and her dislike
for the. fascinating child soon changed
to admiration. Mrs. Reed would
look upon Jecuie’s winning way with
astonishment, wjienshtp would

Everything has passed off quietly

the principal oration, said the first
reeling after so great a loa* was one
of discouragement; but M. Thiers
