Marie, in hopes that the cool winds which blow across Lake Superior and through the northern pines, would restore the sinking energies of a frame which had received a shock too severe for it. : The tour was almost as novel ‘to the father as the child; it was a rare thing for one of the inmates of the stone cottage to be away from under its roof more then a night or two fora - flying visit to some relative. ~ Now, these two had been absent overa month. They were returning toward their home, less hopeful then when they set out, Clematis had rallied once or twice, and seemed like her old blooming and buoyant self—but latterly she had sunk again, lost spirit and appetite, had been detained at the Sault Ste. Marie by illness over one trip of the boat; and was now making a great effort to keep up and appear well, until she could reach the haven of her mother’s arms. cl During a pleasant afternoon, the third or fourth of their voyage, she grew so wearied, in her weak state, that, despite of the beauty of the near shores, and the sparkle of the water, which she loved to watch, she was obliged to retreat from the deck to. one of the sofas of the cabin, where she dropped asleep over the book which she pretended to read, in order to isolate herself from the uninteresting commonplaces exchanged, With great spirit, hy the lady-passengers. : comicloooks.conn
