All this had a peculiar charm for ITepsie, and she felt her faith increased aud her spiritual strength renewed day by day, as she listened to the conversation of this good, devout woman. Finally Airs. W. knowing how unsuited she must be to her queer cousin, said to her one day, "you might have a little school here, a sort of governess like, you would be your own mistress in the matter, and if a better opportunity came, you would be at Hberty to accept it." Hepsie realized'" the great diirenc in the spirit "of these two cousins, one was full of zeal in the Gospel, the other constantly finding fault with verylhingQd-he'Titcept- ed the offer Mrs7 W- - made, though she never mentioned any remuneration except the privilege of a home.

Miss B. was so very much annoyed that she said many disagreeable things, and her manner? was so offensive that it made Hepsie still more anxious to cro where she could do to pay her way. She wa3 .not in something nrS.A 1 lime courage, and it was given her.

Hepsie heard it all. and she felt keenly the bitterness of spirit, that would., deprive her of a little enjoyment, when she was gq' much in need, of a change.

After Hepsie's introduction to Miss B's cousin, which was purely incidental, she became quite familiar with the family, and Miss B. became highly indignant, and one day burst out in her anger. "If you like cousin Ann so well, you'd better take up your abode there, you're no good to me, and I'm tired of your going backwards and fjrvvards all the time, I can live without its very ungrateful, when you know ou-but what I've done for you, taking you in and waitV : .i ing on you." Hepsie could not reply, she was too deeply wounded, her sobs and tears were her only answer, and she. resolved then, .whatever the consequences might be, that she would not remain longer with one who manifested such a spirit.
