I heard you were sick, and I stepped in to cheer you upa,little. My friends often say, UIt's such a comfort to see you, Aunty Doleful. You have such a flow of conversation, and are so live1y.W Besides, I said to myself, as I came up the stairs, WPerhaps it's the last time I'll ever see Cornelia Jane alive.n You don't mean to die yet, eh? Well, now, how do you know? You can't tell. You think you are getting better: but there was poor Mrs. Jones sitting up, and every one saying how smart she was, and all of a sudden she was taken with spasms in the heart, and went off like a flash. But you must be careful, and don't get anxious or excited. Keep quite calm, and don't fret about anything. Of course, things can't go on just as if you were downstairs: and I wondered whether you knew your little Billy was sailing aboutixia tub on the mill-pond, and that your little Sammy was letting your little Jimmy down from the veranda roof in a clothes-basket. Gracious goodness! what's the matter? I guess providence '11 take care of 'em. Don't look so. You thought Bridget was watching them? Well, no, she isn't. I was her talking to a man at the gate. He look- ed to me like a burglar. No doubt she let him take the impression of the door-key in wax, and then he'll getin and murder you all. The:re was a family at Kobbie Hill all killed last week for fifty dollars. Now, don't fidget so: it's bad for the babyi Poor little dear! How singular it is, to be sure, that you can't tell whether a child is blind, or deaf and dumb, or a cripple at that. age. It might be all, and you'd never know it. Most of them that have their sense make bad use of them though: that ought to be your comfort, if it does turn out to have anything dreadfulthenwtter withit. And more don't live a year. I saw a baby's funeral down the street as I came along. How is Mr. Kobble? Well, but finds it warm in town, eh? Well, I should think he'would. They are dropping downbydhundreds there with sun-stroke. You must prepare your mind to have him brought home any day. Anyhow a trip on these railroad trains is just risking your life every time you take one. Back and forth every day as he is, it's just trifling with danger. Dear! Dear! now to think what dreadful things hang overs usall the time. Dear! Dear! Scarlet-fever has broken out in the village, Cornelia. Little Isaac Potter has it, and I saw your Jimmy playing with him last Satur- days Well, I must be going now. I've got another sick friend, and I sha'nt think my dutydoneunlesslicheer her up a little before I sleep. Good-by. How pale you look, Cornelia. I don't believe you have a good doctor. Do send him away and try some one else. You don't look as well as you did when I came in. But if anything happens, send for me at once. If I can't do anything else, I can cheer you up a little. The Lo d be with you, for you'll soon be with the Lord. X -Fern Rich
