His troubles and toil were all forgotten, when Magde would reward him for his efforts with a friendly nod of her head. And when she would say, "You will work yourself to death, my Carl," he would laugh pleasantly, and immediately renew his efforts ten fold.
To all these touching requests, which were rendered still more affecting by the tender expression of his eyes, Magde replied tearfully: "My dear Carl, your words shall be obeyed." Carl smiled. He was now happier at the thought of his approaching death, which would bring such proofs of Magde's affection, than one who might have possessed a prospect of a long and luxurious life.
And Nanna and her father were as much rejoiced at the glad tidings as was Magde herself. A few days afterwards, Magde and her father were seated together in the parlor consulting about the future. "The Lord thus distributes joys and sorrows. One year ago our prospects were much different." "Have I forgotten that time? No!
"O, never mind me," replied he, "your heart is too hard to be moved at my sufferings." "I wish to say a word to you, Mr. H . Your labor is entirely thrown away upon me. I can pity the folly of a man if his folly is not evil; but " "Am I evil? Try me," interrupted Mr. Fabian hastily. "I will," replied Magde. "If you will bind yourself to release my father I shall ever be grateful for the service."

But stern fate compelled her to turn back a second time, for the moment that Magde turned to pass into the house, old Mr. Lonner advanced to the door. "Nanna my child," said he, "bring my chair out into the door-yard.
All these little valuables Magde had gathered together, after she had put the children to bed, in the hope that she might find some few articles among them that would save her from disposing of the cow. But her search, undoubtedly, had proved fruitless, for Magde's ornaments were made almost entirely of bronze.
"And a husband too!" added Magde, and a flush of joyful pride overspread her blooming cheeks. "Yes, and a brother also; read the letter once more, it will be none the less pleasant to read it a third time when Nanna returns." Magde, who had not refolded the letter, commenced reading again, and her voice trembled with pride and emotion as she read as follows:
"P.S. During the soft moonlight nights, when on my watch, I see your form, dear Magde, bright and beautiful, as I look over the wake of the vessel.
