146 WILLY BURKE; OR, — scarcely a Catholic to be depended on ; and I rejoice, on account of our holy religion, that he is pleased with my conduct. Thanks and praises be to you, God, that kept me from doing what I should not do " When he entered his room that night, what should he see, lying on the table, but a handsome prayer-book much more richly bound than that which he had sent Master Dogherty, and when he ran to take it up and examine it, he perceived, written on one of the blank leaves in the front of the book—." A present from Wm. H* Talbot to William Burke, being intended to replace the book sent to Ireland. Also, a mark of Mr. Talbot's warm approval of still more recent good conduct ". Willy stood gazing in silence on the precious volume, and gradually his cheeks assumed a crimson glow ; then the tears rushed to his eyes, and for a moment he could scarce utter a word. After a little he fell on his knees " Ah, then, may the Lord's blessing and mine be about you, Mr. Talbot !" he exclaimed almost aloud ; " sure its yourself that 's always doin' something to make people happy. Now, I '11 say a prayer for you, please God, before I begin to say my night prayers". After the prayers were all said, and Willy in his bed^ he began to think how Mr. Talbot had found out about the sending of the prayer-book to Master Dogherty, and he saw at once that Father Fitzherbert had betrayed him.

THE IRISH ORPHAN IN AMERICA. 147 A few days after, Willy Burke was agreeably surprised by a visit from his brother. It was Sunday afternoon the weather beautifully fine, and Peter proposed a walk. " With all my heart", said Willy, " and when we are out we can go to see mother's grave—its long since we went together—and you can see the girls before we come back. They 're all the time wondering why you don't come as often as you used to do". " Well, about going to the churchyard", said Peter, evading any reply to his brother's last remark, " we can leave that till the next time I come. But I want particularly to see Alice and Bridget. Do you know they must be greatly improved, Willy ? for Mrs. Watkins saw them a few days ago—on Wednesday, I think—and she says they 're two nice little girls". " And where did Mrs, Watkins see them ? if its a fair question", asked Willy, drily. " Why, you know", answered his brother, " she often told me that she 'd like to see them, and so she sent and ordered a bonnet at Mrs. Williams's, and requested that either Bridget or Alice Burke might be sent home with it. So Mrs. Williams sent the two, as it was getting a little late in the evening. That 's the way she managed it ; and when she talked a little while to the girls, she was so taken up with them that she can think of nothing else ever since". " Dear me", said Willy, still more drily, " how mighty easy it is to catch her fancy. And so, I suppose, she could find in her heart to take one of them—or both, for that matter—when they 're such Peter?" nice little girls—eh, " You 've just guessed it", said Peter. '* She says its —
