se. used to bring my nice dress and my ornaments softly out of the room, that I might dress in the nursery, and not disturb your slumbers. I was always glad to get home and undress, and it was always sweet to come to the bed, and find you in it, sound asleep, and lying right across.... I learned to sleep on a very little bit of the bed, you wanted so much of it. This winter, I bought you a pair of snow-boots, of which you were very proud .... We all got along happily, dear, till early in April (1863), when your father desired me to make a journey with Julia, who needed change of scene a little. So I had to go and leave you, my sweet of sweets.... We were glad enough to see each other again, you and I, and I felt as if I could never part with you again. But I was only to have you for a few days, my darling.... Thursday I sat up in your nursery, in the afternoon, as I usually did, with my book — you having your toys. When I had finished reading, I built houses with blocks f

d taught us to hold such matters of little account compared with the real things of life; but they never ceased to bewilder her. Yet to-day, realizing of what vital importance this seeming misfortune was to her; how but for this, her life and other lives might have lacked the rich flavor of hope and toil ; how but for this she might have failed to lock hands with humanity in a bond as close as it was permanent, who can seriously regret Uncle John's devastating yet fruitful mistake? In April again she writes:-- Dull, sad and perplexed. My uncle not having made me a rich woman, I feel more than ever impelled to make some great effort to realize the value of my mental capacities and acquisitions. I am as well entitled to an efficient literary position as any woman in this country — perhaps better than any other. Still I hang by the way, picking up ten dollars here and there with great difficulty. I pray God to help me to an occasion or sphere in which I may do my utmost. I

perience ought to pledge me to new and more active efforts to help others. In my mind I said, the obstacle to this is my natural inertia, my indolence; then the thought, God can overcome this indolence and give me increased power of service and zeal for it. Those present, I think, all considered the sermon and Communion as of special power and interest. It almost made me fear lest it should prove a swan song from the dear minister. Perhaps it is I, not he, who may soon depart. Later in April she was able to fulfil some lecture engagements in New York State with much enjoyment, but also much fatigue. After her return she felt for a little while as if it was about time for her to go, but her mind soon recovered its tone. Being gently reproved for giving a lecture and holding a reception on the same day, she said, That is perfectly proper: I gave and I received: I was scriptural and I was blessed. Asked on another occasion if it did not tire her to lecture,--Why, no! it is

followed on her return. A month and more passed before she began to regain strength and spirits.1 March 31. Had a happy lighting up when I lay down for afternoon rest. Felt the immensity of God's goodness and took heart for the future. In April she records a delightful visit from Robert Collyer, accompanied by Annie Fields. I asked him: Robert, what is religion? He replied, To love God with all one's heart, Christ helping us. He began his prayer last Sunday thus: Our Father who art idear Laura knew nothing about it till afterward. How often we recalled the old Quaker's saying to her, It was borne in upon me at an early period that if I told no one what I intended to do, I should be enabled to do it! ) In the last week of April ( dear Laura being still absent) she spoke four times in public, on four successive days. These addresses were at the Kindergarten for the Blind ( I missed the snap which Michael's presence was wont to give; I spoke praise of him to the children
