I do not know how you manage, Evelina, but it seems to me as if the air in your room were clearer than elsewhere; whenever I come to you it seems to me as if I entered a little temple of peace." "Yes, and so it seems to me," said Mrs.Gunilla, cordially.
"Yes, thank God," said Evelina, smiling gratefully, and with tears in her eyes; "here is peace!" "And at our little lady's, the young folks raise dust sometimes in the temper, as well as in the rooms.

Is it not so ?" said Mrs.Gunilla, with facetiousness.

"Well, well," added she, by way of consolation, "everything has its time, all dust will in time lay itself, only have patience." "Ah, teach me that best thing, Aunt," said Elise, "for I am come here precisely with the hope of gaining some wisdom--I need it so much.

But where are your daughters to-day, Evelina ?" "They are gone to-day to one of their friends," replied she, "to a little festival, which they have long anticipated with pleasure; and I also expect to have my share, from their relation of it to me." "Ah! teach me, Evelina," said Elise, "how I can make my daughters as amiable, as good, and as happy, as your Laura and Karin.

I confess that it is the anxiety for the bringing up of my daughters which ever makes me uneasy, and which lies so heavy on my heart this very day.
