In a few minutes she returned, saying, " mamma, can I go to church to mprrowi and hear them sing and pray and preach ?" "No, my deai4, to-morrow is Wednesday ; it will theorbo three. dy before the Sabbath."

Each time when corrected, she seeimed to dismiss the subr ject ; but she had been longing lor spring, that she j might go to the house 6f ; God, and she could not 1 at once give up the idea, that with its first day would commence her pleasure. Just before sun set she complained of extreme weariness, and soon dropped; to sleep. When she awoke, she was ' burning with fever, "and her father went for aphy sician. During his absence she became delirious, and when the physician approached the bedside, he " turned away sadly, saying, u Madam, tt is too late. "Another physician was summoned, and another, and a fourth even, but all of no avail. Heri disease was scarlet brain-fever, and'in eleven hours from "' her first complaining, her : spirit" had 'passed away. 'We buried her pn the morrOw, a balmy, lovely - day the first of spring.

It is the cheapest and miost durable paint ever used.
