"" We are so grateful to you!" said Mrs. Markham, as her kind neighbor bid her good-bye," promising to *'look in again by-and-by, after she had seen to her own family a little." '" And I am so glad t6 have been of use to you," was the reply. '"It is such a pleasure to help those who are in trouble." "1 have given up my old motto, my dear," said Mr. Markham, to his wife, as he returned from accompanying Mrs. Lawson to the door. "1 am convinced that it will not anawer to always ' look out for number one.' 'It will not, indeed, Henry," was the earnest reply. © * We.are so . dependent upon each other." A few days of continued anxiety, and then all was again cheerfulness and sun- shine with the Markhams. Little Julia was rapidly recovering, and Robbie show- ed no symptoms of having taken the dis- ease. Good help was in the kitchen, snd the doctor's carriage was no longer seen standing at the door. Mrs. Lawson continued her friendly visits, and being soon on familiar terms, | told them, one day, of the handsome sum which had been contributed towards re- building their barn. *"The friends who first got up the sub- scription thought they should be obliged to give it up," she remarked ; * there were #0 few who felt able to help us ; but there has been a large addition to it lately, and we cannot find from whom it came. -- I am sure we are most heartily grateful to him." Mrs. Lawson glanced at Mr. Markham, | a8 she said this, and perhaps she had her suspicions as to where the gift came from: and en- The gentleman said nothing; but, as she went on talking with his wife on other bubjects, he came to the' just conclusion that the lesson he had learned from Mrs. t Lawson was far more valuable than any- thing 'that money could bestow ; and in his heart he resolved that the better mot- to of " Help one another" should, in fu- ture, take the place of his old one, *' Take care of number one.' sooo.
