in whatever state she

was, therewith to be content.'

During their visit, Elizabeth took her friends over her neat, orderly house: and into her pretty retired garden, which was now looking gay with spring flowers.

'You would be surprised,' said she, 'to see how many little pleasures I have now: and that from things which I never took any real pleasure in before. Even my taste is improved by religion: I am not so selfish-so engrossed in-' but here she checked herself, and began to speak of something else. Talking of herself, she observed, was particularly hazardous; and she found it a good rule never to do so-not even to speak of her faults unless it was unavoidable.

While Mr. Leddenhurst and Mr. Robinson were gone aside to transact some business, Elizabeth and her friends conversed still more unreservedly.

'I assure you,' said she, looking on the car pet, 'I am happier in all respects than I ever expected to be;-Mr. Robinson is really much more—much less-much improved. Dear Emily,' she added, 'I often, very often, think of that dreary, feverish night, when you came to nurse and comfort me: from that I date all my happiness!'

'Let us rather both think,' said Emily,' of that happy day that brought our friends to Stokely; it is to them we both owe every thing that is good.'

'We can all now,' said Miss Weston, 'look back to the time when we were unacquainted with God, and with ourselves,-when religion was uninteresting to us; and to whatever circumstances we may trace the wondrous change, let us acknowledge Him as the sole and gracious author of it.'

<

'And now, sir,' said Mr. Leddenhurst, when they returned to the ladies, we hope to prevail upon you to part with Mrs. Robinson, before long, to pay us a visit at Stokely.'

:

'To be sure I will,' replied he,' with a great deal of pleasure, Mr. Leddenhurst; she deserves a little recreation now, as well as any woman in the world; and I'll be bound to say, that there's no place whatever where it would give Mrs. Robinson so much pleasure to pay a visit to.'

'It would, indeed, give me a great deal of pleasure,' said Elizabeth; I have nowhere such kind friends; I should like, too, to visit Broadisham once again; if it were only to think of all that has passed since I last drove out of it.'

Ah, that was on our wedding-day?' said her husband.

C Then you will come, my dear,' said Mrs. Leddenhurst.

'Yes, she has promised,' said Emily.

Her friends now took an affectionate leave of Elizabeth. Before the carriage drove off, they all looked out at her as she stood by her husband's side at the shop-door. There was a tear in her eye, but she strove to conceal it; and her countenance shone with content.

'This is a sight,' said Mr. Leddenhurst, 'worth coming more than fifteen miles to see:-the subjugation of a propensity that I had almost thought incurable; and I believe that nothing but religion will cure the love of - DISPLAY."
