lonely widow mother.

had been doad many years, and her on

And thus the old lady lived alone

innocence and trust in God, she owed
her feeling o f safety and cheerfulness,did
her work quietly during the daylight
and at eventide slept sweetly.
One morning, however, she awoke
with an extraordinary and unwonted
gloom upon her nrnd, which was im.
pressed with the apprebcusion that
something strange was to happen to her
