Excerpt: ...Zion-ward' - I wish we were all up at those gates, O Lord! -" The last words were spoken with a heavy sigh, and then the old woman changed her tone. "Winnie! - Winnie! - go to bed - go to bed! Your mother'd say it if she was here." Winnie raised her head and opened her eyes, and Karen repeating her admonition in the same key, the child got up and went mechanically out of the room, as if to obey it. It was by this time very late in the night; the rest of the inmates of the house had long been asleep. No lights were burning except in the room she had left.

It refused even weeping; and after a few minutes, nestling down as close to him as she could get, she laid one arm and her head upon his breast and went to sleep too. More peacefully and quietly than she had slept for several nights. The glimmer from the fire-light died quite away, and only the bright stars kept watch over them. The moon was not where she could look in at those north or east kitchen windows. But by degrees the fair April night changed. Clouds gathered themselves up from all quarters of the horizon, till they covered the sky; the faces of the stars were hid; thunder began to roll along among the hills, and bright incessant flashes of white lightning kept the room in a glare.
