Through all his trials, and changes, from teaching to atudying, and studying to teaching again, boarding at cheap houses, and wearing course broad-cloth, enduring the insolence of the rich man's heir, and the coldness of Christians, who passed him , by unnoticed—through all those things, and ipore.he never, for one dav, forgot sweet, little Rosa Blake, the child with the sky blue frock, who smiled on bimso sweetly ; and at parting promised to "be a good girl for his sake" until he came again. Doctor Blake was proud of nis daughter's choice, and, on theasame day that ha bestowed upon him his o'nly child, he presented him with the pretty aum of fifty thousand dollars.
