The mother and her two little girls, Nina and Dot, were Christians, and their voices were often lifted in praise to God as they sang from an old hymn-book, one of their most cherished possessions. One morning the mother sent Nina and Dot on an errand to their sister's home three and one-half miles distant.
We were now in line with spring storms, which made us victims of frequent downpours and cyclonic winds. The roads were heavy, and the banks of streams so steep that often the wagons had to be lowered by aid of rope and chain.

"Always, and has helped them considerably." "Experience teaches us that it is often the most difficult thing to forgive those who do us favors," said Quarles sententiously.

Often the air is all aflutter with butterflies, many of them remarkable for their size or the beauty of their colouring.
One of the earliest nabobs that Nevada was delivered of wore $6,000 worth of diamonds in his bosom, and swore he was unhappy because he could not spend his money as fast as he made it. Another Nevada nabob boasted an income that often reached $16,000 a month; and he used to love to tell how he had worked in the very mine that yielded it, for five dollars a day, when he first came to the country.
