High scenes and coarse invective wcr'

the storm and iaunts he must encounte

lie dearly loved her, and could not bea
TO see her look so sad. But youth an,
strong passion were more powerful thai
love in that young heart. The gloom,
home, the stern harsh father, The absence
Of all that could attract a naturally ga,
and spirited lad, were more than he coul'
bear and he broke loose again mor'

To his will. And thus things went on
from bad To worse, until at last Mr.. Brown
