and a faint flush tinged her pallid cheek, as she

Florence could make that promise,
Mrs. Osmond entered, and but an hour had
passed by. when the pure and gentle Theresse
released from earthly suffering. The two
sweet orphans had been left to the guardian
ship of an uncle, by Mr. Lat cy, their lather,
a gentleman of fortune and respectability. He
was totally unfit for the charge, although as
regarded their pecuniary affairs, lio was strict

For bitterness, lias eurtn,

something sacred and hallpwed in the strong
link of sisterly love.—The unclouded days in
which they sharo together the same childish
spirits, the confidence with which they turn to
each other when the cares and sorrows of after
life leaves n sad signet on the brow, serve but
to make the silver chain still brighter as years
pass en. Florence heeded not the time th.at
passed, and a step in that silent chamber
ed her. Ilenly Osmond, with a countenance
pnle and mournful, drew
down a moment upon the calm and peaceful
face of the dead, cast his arm around hei waist
and raised her from her kneeling posture.

Deep and unutterable emotion was depicted

to nerve her soul, and she said, calmly, "When
