shite te Ei Ba ry ' BEAUTIFUL BUT POOR. Some to their rooms, weary enough to go right to rest—others to linger a little while in the old parlor and get others to fix up their scanty wardrobe so as to be ready for their only day of rest or pleasure— the blessed Sunday so near at hand—but one day of toil to intervene. | Our heroine—where was she? In her little cham- ber thanking her Heavenly Father that at last the stern strife for daily bread was made easier to her, and that a glimmer of light could be seen through the dark clouds of poverty. | Pure-hearted and innocent, she did not dream that any one could so envy her good fortune as to hate her for it.
