handsome dwelling the more because IT had
been slowly acquired.
This event happened just as The great
crisis in the financial world came on, few
years since, when so many families lost
their all. Among others, Mr.. Sanford was
reduced to beggary, by the bankruptcy Of
the United States Bank, in whose stock his
fortune had been chiefly vested. And now
came the punishment Of Mrs. Stewards
ncrcenary spirit She saw her favorite
daughter plunged into poverty with hus-
band with whom Mary could not sympa-
thizc, and who by his habits Of luxurious
Incidence, had become unfit to struggle
with the world for his daily bread. There
was no hope, therefore that he would ever
rise from the situation into which he was
now plunged.

Of Mary's early friends to another, "that

words havn't come true

III is a great mistake to look only after
wealth in marrying children. For the
daughters Of most Of this and every city, an
Industrious young man is the most fitting
husband. Let young folks begin humble.
