"Yes, dear. I am sure you have made a very good beginning. You can see if there is anything else for you to do. If one learns to keep his eyes open, he will have a chance to help a good many people."

"I'm going to keep my eyes open, Aunt Abbie."

Miss Fanny has a little niece who lives so far away

That she has never seen her, though she's six months old to-day.
