whom she had brought such misery! -
And now, b-ecause, her cup was not
yet full, this further sacrifice was de7"
mended of iher. She must give up Faith,
the patient nurse and companion. of all
these years of suffering. • True, she was
often cross and irritable, but could any
one be to her what Faith was? could
any one replace that soft voice and gentle
hand that lulled and made bearable many
an hour when the pain threatened to be
intolerable? would any otlier bear her
' harsh humors with such patience and
loving reeignation ? The thought of
-this new privation paled the poor in-
' velid's cheek and swelled in her throat
as Dr. Stewart uttered his persuasive
protest.
" Oh, Cara! I shall never have the
heart to leave you when it comes to the
point," eried_Faith, elinging to her with
fresh tears. What did it matter that
they were middle-aged women, and that
Caralahair, at least, was streaked with
gray, a,nd that*Dr. *wart was regard-
ing them with eyes that alternately
twinkled end glistened. Had they not
their feelings ? was not Cara .her own
sister? Oh,- Cara' I neVer shall be
able to leahe you !" •
" Nonsense I" returned MisS Charity,
pushing her away, but with tears in her
eyes' too. !` Get up, Faith, do; what
will -Dr. Stewart think of us? Of course
you must have him if you want him ;
and a pod husband at your age is not
to be -despised, let me tell you that." ;
"But what will you do without me?
and Hope reads so badly," sighed her
sister.
Miss Charity winced a, little. over the
idea, 'but she returned, bravely,--
" Oh, I shall get along somehow;
Hope- is not so bad if _you pat cotton -
wool in one ear; and she always knows
what elle is reading," with an accent of
reproach to denote Faith's wandering
attention. "Thele, there, it is all
right," patting lier shoulder kindly.
"Juniper Lodge is not a hundred miles
off, and I dare say Dr. Stewart will often
spare you to us ; and all I have to say
to him is that a good sister will make a -
good wife, and that -he will soon find out
for himself." And with that Miss Chari-
ty composed herself to her knitting again
and. shortly aftiFtliat Dr. Stewart took
hii•leave.
"Must , you go yet? I hoped you
would haise waited and seen Hope and
Ihudence," faltered Faith, timidly, as
she followed her lover into the little hall
and watched -him invest himself in his
shaggy great -coat, but Dr. Stewart only
smiled and shook his -head.
"Not to -night. Give my kind regards'
to them. To -morrow afternoon, if it
holds up, we will have another walk to-
gether and discuss future 'arrangements.
You will want this •evening to get your
thoughts in ordeies eh, Faith ? with a
look of such thorough understanding
and good -humor that her color rose. '
" Miss Charity is enough for one after-
noon. I could not quite stand the other
cardinal virtues "he said to himself, as
-he sat down ceontenteclly to his solitary
tea. , -

ways, had lighted the fire and brought
