any new cases, and at last I think 1 may !
safely say that the cloud is lifted, which
for tlie past month has laid upon this
ill-fated town, where so long fever and
disease, bred of bad smells andbadven
tilation and drainage aggravated iiy i
privation, for nearly all the mills liave
stopped on account of a strike among
the employes have held sway.
I write hopefully, and well I may ;
for, together with the joy of knowing
that the woe about me is abating, into

As oue morning, a month ago, I went

I watched her a morne it unseen.
when suddenly, as she si iglitly turned

superficially fair, but I soon came to find

that of any other I had seen.
The time flew by until the day came
on which I had decided to go, and it was
well that it was so ; for I knew then
that, almost unconsciously, an «U
