Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ...that Flora had overheard part of a conversation between herself and Mrs. White, in relation to her future prospects, and that this had been the cause of her dream. But whatever was the cause, Aunt Ruth could not but rejoice at the effect; for, I am glad to say, Flora did try to be a better child. When she was asked to do something she did not like, she remembered all Aunt Ruth's kindness, and felt ashamed not to do it; and she tried to show by her conduct the love that had waked in her heart, when she thought her kind friend was lost to her for ever. "Because it might have been all true," she thought to herself, "and, perhaps, it will be true, some time, so I will try to make Aunt Ruth happy while I can stay with her, and try to learn all I can."

And when Aunt Ruth was ill, as she really was some time after, Flora was as kind and good a little nurse as you could find; always ready to sit by her and wait upon her, or to do any thing that could soothe or help her; so that Aunt Ruth loved her more than she had done before, and Mrs. White said Flora was such a different child she hardly knew her. And what made the difference was simply that Flora had begun to love her aunt; and when we love people it becomes far easier to do as they wish.
