I stood with a mournful throng On the brink of a gloomy grave, In a valley where grief had found relief On the breast of an angry wave!

"I dare say your mother thinks I have run away with you; and as I have an engagement, I must either bid you good-bye and leave you here with Mr. Murray, or go back at once with you to the house."

And then came high school, and the great disaster, quickly followed by an entrance into an Orphan's Heaven a home in a private family. In the shifting personnel at the orphanage, there were fewer high-school pupils.
I looked at you eagerly when you came in, knowing I could read the result in your countenance. Ah, there is no peace written there! Where is your truth? Show it to me." She twined her thin, hot fingers round Beulah's cold hand, and spoke in a weary tone.
