The delight that glowed in the heart of William Moreland, as he saw this pleasing change, was a double reward for the little he had sacrificed in making them happy.
Nor did Ellen fall, with her children, an entire burden upon her sister and her husband;--her activity and willingness found enough to do that needed doing.
Jane often used to say to her husband-- "I don't know which is the gainer over the other, I or Ellen; for I am sure I can't see how we could do without her." GOOD-HEARTED PEOPLE.
