She has talked to me again and again about it; and I long to go, because no one is ever sick or tired there.

And, when I go, wouldn't you like to go with me, Elsli ?" "Yes, I should like it," said Elsli, catching the enthusiasm of the beautiful hope which shone in Nora's eyes.

"But can we go whenever we want to ?" "Oh, no; the good God calls us when our turn comes.

I only want to know if you want to go, as I do, so that we can talk about it together.

And perhaps we shall be called at the same time; and how delightful it would be to go together and walk in the bright gardens, and pick the roses and lilies by the shining river, and never be sick or tired any more, but be happy forever!" So Nora talked on about the heavenly land, and Elsli's eyes grew larger as the glories of the future life were pictured to her, and a wholly new world opened before her.
