When I lived down at Elton, there was a good many first rate gals down there, but I did’ut take a likin to any of ’em till Squire Cummins cum down there iq live. The Squire bad a mighty puny daner.

Well, when the chap that bought it took it hum, he heard somethin* rattle— broke the old chist, and found lots of gold in it in a false boitom I hadn’t seen. Now, if I had tuk that chist hum, I’d never found that money; or if I did, they’d all been counterfeit, and I’d been tuk up for passing on ’em* Well, I jest told Patience about it, and she rite up and called me a darned fool.” “ Well,*’ says I, “ Ephe, that is hard ; but never mind that—-jest go or.—you can get her; and when you do get her a noble heart. attempt to point out the books whici you may not read, by name, would bniike the physician who, at the request of the indulgent parents, attempted jto prescribe: what the convalescent parent might not eat. scribers being personally, or by. reputa- - straw on the floor, it held me Very well, j it.
