Praising my Saviour all the day long."

To my story: Mrs. Haseltine, I said, had to go to the Saratoga Springs
for the Summer and she used to let me hear from her, but my work in
school was so great that I lost sight of her and I do not know if she is

Well, I did not know what I should do, so I made up my mind that I had
done all that lay in my power--that is, I had earned the money, and some
one had taken it from me and I was left to go without. So I took the
Lord for it, and could not board as I had done, but I bought some little
