What a, lot ing welcomo the dear girls and boys, whom Heaven had blessed w ith the pow er of seeing their -ister, give to the wanderer Millie! How she comforted her motlit r's heart, making her forget her great bereavement making her even forget to sorrow that she had a blind child, iu her joy a feeling that she had uno.her living darling! The sunshine of Millie's girlhood came back to her spirit. The dear blind girl was the joy of the lions. How could anybody cherish a feeling of discontent or peevishness, when that glad voice was pouring out its songs of thankfulness from morning till night! Oh, dear blind Miltie, never moro happy spirit that she was mourned lhat God had not given her eyes to see.
