CHAPTER II.
Edith a teacher. She found it
much more pleasant than the hnd
expected. The lady, Mrs. Wilson,
with whom she boarded, was a kind
motherly woman. Time passed
swiftly away with her. She would
rise early and go to her duties with
a good will. ’Twas in the school
room that her better qualities were
called forth. She loved the chiidrei
and spared no pains to instruct them
—to pdint out the path that their
feetanust tread to gain a better and
brighter home thAn this- Edith also
fonndu sweet association with little
pupils, they seemed so near to her
as she would ait and listen to their
childish prattle, and answer the many
questions th<y would ask. AnJ,
then ho occasional letter would
brighten her whole existence; the
lonely desolnta feeiiwg of orphawlroed
no longer opposed her. Edith felt
she had something to live for, a work
to perforin. Site hud grown strong
er, her step was elastic, her cheek
the color ol the wild rose, her slum
bers were sweet, and often in some
wandering dream the form ot Dr.
Gordon would take an active part.
One evening in the summer when
her duties lor the day were over, sbe
sealed herself under the wide-spread
ing branches of an old oak to watch
the aauie sun set that she did seveu
months before. How beautiful every
thing looked ; how fragrant the sweet,
tinted clover. The distant tinkling
of the cow-bells floated out on the
soft balmy evening air as they wend
ed their way home.
Edith looked lovely as she sut in
her plain simple white, with her
golden hair coiled loosely at the back
ol her well shaped head. But her
thoughts were not of herself, they
were wandering back when she last
had met Dr. Gordon. Ho had not
gone to Newport as her aunt and
cousin thought he would, she wond
ered why he had not. But the rusti
ling of the leaves startled her, and
looking she saw Dr. Gordon stand
ing in front of her.
“Oh! my friend, I am so glad to
see you,” exclaimed Edith extending
botl other hands, which he eagerly
grasped, “I was not thinking ol see
ing you.”
“Are you really glad to see me,
Edith ? ’ asued Dr. Gordon, still
holding her nands.
‘•Certainly I am glad to see you,”
said Edith, blushing sweetly, as %he
bent her eyes to the ground.
“Then tell me, Edith, have I hoped
in vain these long dreary months,
We want correspondents at each
locality in the county who will send
ub every week items for publication.
Aay one sending us such will receive
tho Advance free of all charges.
Whr* will be the first to accept this
offer ? Won’t yon, kind reader, Bend
us something for our next issue from
your neighborhood
since you have been gone? Edith,
you know I love you. Won’t you be
mine, and cease this toiling? You
know not what a pang it cost me to
see you go out alone in the world,
but I knew it would be beneficial to
you ; it would bring out those laient
qualities, whch I knew were pro
ductive of good. Speak to me Edith,
won’t you come with me, my little
darling, and help me minister to the
sick? Your gentle touch would
soothe many a weary sufferer, und,
my home would be bright and cheer--
ful with tbv presence. Can you
come, Editn ?”
She suid not a word, only raised
her eyes to his, in them lie saw enough
to satisfy him. He drew her to his
breast, and kissing her loudly he ex
claimed,
“No longer shall my little darling
toil without one loving word to light
en her burden. No, Edith, the
blight of thy youth, orphanhood,
shall be atoned lur, as far, us in my
r ower to do so, by the undying love
hare for you.”
Aud thus they sat, and talkod
over the preapnt and post, until the
young moon rode high in Ihe heav
ens, throwing back her silvery rays
over them. But they were unmind
ful of tht hour, until Edith suddenly
remembering, ask’d:
“Did you stop at the house?”
“Yes, and asked Mrs. Wilson if I
could see you, and she said you had
wulked down in the grove. She
would have sent for you, but I told
her I had rather find you.”
Just then the supper-bell rang,
and they arose snd returned to the
house, where a nice warm supper
awaited them. Dr.Goriiou wasdulv
presented to Mrs. Wilson, who bail
learned to love Edith dearly. That
night, after they had retired, to their
respective rooms, Edith went to Mrs.
Wilson and told her of her intentions.
She reuretud wry much that she
-hould Yoon have to p «rt with her.
Mis. Wilson insisted on Edith being
married there.
The day of Edith's marriage
dawned clear, bright and beautiful in
the month of August. She had her
pupils to attend as her school had
closed a foi 'uight before this. They
had assembled in Mrs. Wiliou’s par
lor impatiently waiting to see their
dear teamuii^thev bad not long to
Idkk looked
Dr. Gordon led her forward, a holy
love seemed burning in her soft
brown eyes as she took the soletnu
vows, that bound her to the man she
loved. Dr. Gordon’s eyes are beam
ing with happiness as he gazts loud
ly ou his sweet young wife, who is
receiving the congrutillations of her
dear little pupils, they having waited
until the preacher and Mrs. Wilson
had wished them much happiness,
now come forward, each of whom
have a wreath of flowers, twined by
their own little fingeis, to offer to
their teacher; she takes them and
thunks thechildsen so sweetly, whisp
ering some cheering word in their
-agerears; then Edith turns to her
husband and tells him what, their
names are. He smiles kindly and
tells them that he will bring their
teuener back to see them some time,
which greatly consoled them in their
loss, for they loved their teacher de
votedly.
They now bid them good-bye,
pronrsing to visit Mrs. Wilson .every
summer, and she; in return, is to
make them a visit soon.
Edith is happy in her new home.
Her Aunt writes that they will
be at home soon to consummate
Alice's nuptials, with a gentleman
from the west, of reputed wealth,
who she had met at Newport that
summer. Edith read this with int-r
es>, she wished hei cousin well. She
did not approach her for the way she
had been treated by her in the past,
it only made the present appear the
more blighter. She loves her hus
band devotedly, his kind glances and
tender words are sufficient. She is
truly happy in his love. Yet she
has never forgotten to whom Bhe
must give thanks for all this happi
ness, her Friend and Comforter
when an orphan, and still her guide
as a wife.
What a sweet submissive expres
sion is on her face to-night, as she
sits by the table with her little bible
in hsr hand.
Yee, Edith, you have had troubles
and trials, but we hope your future
life will be as smooths and calm,
your countenance is to night.
pleuiii'o to return home, when my
rounds ol visits have been matte, for
I am always sure of vour welcome

Happy with the knowledge of love
and being loved, she is a friend to
the poor, a minister to the afflicted,
thankful for the privilege of being
able »o do good here, and thereby
prove how gratefal hi r heart feels to
the Great Giver ot so much happi
ness.
