If we meet no more in this world, our reunion is certain in that to come.

I have given you much pain and uneasiness, but it will be an additional grief to me if I think you feel further anxiety on my account." "We do not, my dear child," replied Mr.Bloundel.

"I am well assured all is for the best, and if it pleases Heaven to spare you, I shall rejoice beyond measure in your return.

If not, I shall feel a firm reliance that you will continue in the same happy frame, as at present, to the last, and that we shall meet above, where there will be no further separation." "I cannot bear to part with her," cried Mrs.Bloundel, clasping her arms round her daughter--"I cannot--I cannot!" "Restrain yourself, Honora," said her husband; "you will do her an injury." "She must not be over excited," interposed Hodges, in a low tone, and gently drawing the afflicted mother away.

"The sooner," he added to Mr.
Bloundel, "she now sets out the better." "I feel it," replied the grocer.
