Suddenly the farmer laid down his paper,

Mr. Bolton readjusted hi* spectacle 3, sought

So Hr. Byington wrote a long, pleading,

marrying a man. If 'the does marry she
apt to choose a good, easy, emlablo fellow, who
wont bother her whan stwssante to writ*
study, and who will nurse tho children If she
bat any. Colonel Fisher, the father of this
lady, waa killed at the first battle of Msnauss
