The Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments worked in worsted, were suspended in a wooden frame between the windows, which had white muslin blinds, and opened on hinges, like a door.

A cupboard made to fit the corner, in a manner to economise room, was filled with china mugs, cups and saucers of different sizes and patterns, some old tea-spoons and a plated tea-pot.
There was a small table opposite to the window, which Contained half a dozen books.

One of these was large, handsomely bound, and decorated with gilt edged paper.

Mr.Hopewell opened it, and expressed great satisfaction at finding such an edition of a bible in such a house.

Mrs.
Hodgins explained that this was a present from her eldest son, who had thus appropriated his first earnings to the gratification of his mother.
"Creditable to you both, dear," said Mr.Hopewell: "to you, because it is a proof how well you have instructed him; and to him, that he so well appreciated and so faithfully remembered those lessons of duty." He then inquired into the state of her family, whether the boy who was training a peach-tree against the end of the house was her son, and many other matters not necessary to record with the same precision that I have enumerated the furniture.
"Oh, here is a pretty little child!" said he.
