‘Ah, you couldn’t do that, uncle.—
The education I have gained under your
noble generous patronage, is a mine of
wealth of which you cannot rob me ;—
and I would not to-day exchange it for
all the wealth you ever possessed. I can

‘Tlien you must wait sir,’ pronounced
the widow, decisively. ‘It is tr.y dinner
hour, and I must prepare it. Wait and
eat with me, and then I’ll listen.’
And with this Susan drew out her ta
ble, spread the snow white cloth, and
«oon had the dishes in their places.-
Tben she went away to the kitchen, and
presently the captain heard pots and
kettles rattling, the meat sputieiing,
and a brisk culinary racket going on
generally.
‘Egad,’ the old fellow muttered to
himself, 4 she’a a splendid craft. II hat
a clean build. If I had come across such
a woman years ago, I believe I should
have made a fool of myself.’
In due time the dinner made its ap

‘ And we’ll-he as happy as kings.’
• Oh, I should be very, very happy,’
-he whispered; and as ske did so, her
head rested upon the captaiu’s shoulder,
and the bright tress fell upon his hand,
with several tear-jewels glittering atnid
its curls.
4 What a lime we’ll have V Uncle
Jerry cried, winding his right arm about
her plump form, and drawing her more
closely to him. * When you are Jack’s
wife we’il—’
‘ Jack!’ repeated Susan, breaking
from his embrace, and starting to her

‘ Now make yourself at home,’ the
widow said, with a charming smile ; ‘ for
I look upon you as one of the dearest
friends I have.’
* Egad ! If she ain’t a !>eauty !’ Un
de Jerrv said this to hirnself as he mov-
lie expressed it. nis pate was just halJ
enough to carry his face high up over
the brow, hilt yet he had a goodly quan
tity of daik curls clustering about his
short, fat Keck. The only near relative
he had in the lower world was Jaek
Kendall, an only child of his only sister.
Jerry Pieman had loved his sister fund-
,\[,and when she dted—she was a wiilo*
then—she left, a prayer upon the record
that her brother would caie for her or
phan hoy. And uncle Jerry had done
it faithfully. For ten

‘ And have you meant for me (o mar

‘ Lord bless me ! who should I mean ?’
* And vou suppose I would marry

‘You are not old ; and as for loving
you, I have loved you for a long while;
and if you take roe for a wife, I’ll love

‘Then come here! Come here Susan I
Come right here ; and if 1 ever cease to
love you, and cherish you, and be true
to you, may—may that seaweed ghost

About ten minutes after this Uncle
Jerry made the following sensible re
mark :
‘Why bless my soul, we are acting
like two fools !’
The widow only smiled and said—
•Two veiy happy ones, ain’t we !’
And Jerry said—
‘Bless my soul—we are !’
*****
On the following day, Jack happened
to pass near the widow’s house, and he
dropped in. In a few moments he was
the happiest fellow imaginable.
‘But,’ said Susan, earnestly, ‘don’t
misunderstand me. I have loved your
uncle—and loved him well and truly,
and I believe he loved me, but dared
