“Some pleasant 'news, Wife,” said the
minister, one day at dinner.
“Indeed, What is it ?”
“Somebody has bought the widow Smith’s
_lot, and is putting up a fine house.”
“Is that so? Well, I’m glad of it, and
hope the new comers will be a desirable ad-
dition to our society.” '
Day by da'y'the children came home from
school with something new to tell about the
beautiful house that was going up like
magic. .

.. When Christmas came there was another
ffmily gathering at Wickersham. Among
the beautiful and costly gifts that adorned o
lovely Christmas-tree, were many 'things
for the repentant Letty,'while Tom received
a purse of gold that relieved him from all
