BE of good cheer, Margaret. Eveu
if you should leave your ptctty cottage,
would wager something - The,
rij man checked himself, and resumed IN
an Indifferent tone, Who IL this new lord
of the manor? What Is his name -
The property was purchased by n
MIR Price but he ~ understood to bc an +
agent, and have not heard the name \
oI the real proprietor, who is SAID 10 he
an elderly gentleman. and so rich that
hr viii hardly be- tempted 10 turn an old 4
tenant from her cottage for sn ,riling an
addition Of rent. Nsyenhp!ess-'
Once again Margaret, he Of good
heart !! reiterated her uncle. i
The tenants arc 10 meet him IN the I.
avenue the farmers and their sons on \
horseback - the cotiagors, women aud
children, on foot. Ougkt 10 join them; /,
1 have 10 shame ia honest labor, but Il
i' sarnk from meeting the scorn oi those
pnfse-proud kindred, wio--' and poo-
Margare!'s tears ielI fast. Ought | tu

for the procession. BE sure that you fail
not. We shall meet again soon, dear
ones. For the present, farewell
And something there was abont tne
old man, ragged, sick, and lame that he
WAS, that Margaret found II Impossible !
10 Glsobcy. SO, hcarteBed up, she knew
Not why (ior many have lelt, without be- \

The setting sun CLEANED brightly be-

flowers OF early autumn: and as the car
