Sitting apart, her face again buried in her hands, and leaving to Katharine the sole attendance upon her child, Jane re-~ | mained silent, and apparently unconscious ‘ofall that was goingon around her, until she heard at last the faint accents of her boy whispering her name. No one now remained in the room but herself, her children and Katharine ; ail nad been dismissed, and sie arose quickly from her seat and approached the bed.

' From one shop to another, buying | sorts of things for the children, Kate drove | that morning, but it was observable that | among all her purchases there were none | for Jane, and after awhile Lizzie noticed it, | and said, when another frock was offered | to her— ‘No, thank you, I've got plenty: I'd rather have it for mother. ’ | Kate looked earnestly at her. By what | strange chance was it that the hard. selfish | Jane Grove was blessed with such patient, all , loving children ? ‘ Very well, then ; now, Lizzie, you may do as you like with the money in this purse, I am sure you may be trusted to spend it wisely ; and your mother will like presents from you better than from any one else.’ And s0, with the tact ofa good and deli. | cate spirit Kate avoided laying her cousin under the personal o! knew would be to her the most mortifying and difficult to bear. ‘Now Liz: the mae ie,’ said the end oi with you to the earriage once more stoppec oe~ 7 or ae a } the alley, ‘I will only go door, and you shall run up and bring me word how your brother is.
