Awhile we must leave Tom in the hands Of

sunes Of George and his wife, whom we left 10
friendly hands in a farmhouse on the road

Tom Loker we lefe grooming and tousling IN
a most immediately clean Quaker bed, under
the mothegly supervision Of Aunt Dorcas, who
found him TO the full as tTactable patient rs
a sick bison.
Imagine tall, dignifed Woman, whose clear
muslin cap shades waves Of siiYery hair, parted
on a broad, clear forehead, which oyerarches
thoughtfai gray eyes--a snowy handkerchief
of lisse Grape rs folded neatly across her bosom,
her glossy brown silk dress rustles peacefully
as she glides up aud down the chamber

throw to the bedclothes

such language says Aunt Doroas as she quiz
city re-arranges the bed,
dwell, won't granny, IL can help IT.
says Tom shut it's enough to make feilow
swear--so oarsedly hot
Dorcas removed comforter from the bed,
Strengthened the clothes again, and tucked
them in, till Tom looked something ike chrys.
ais rensarking as she did so
II wish. friend thee would leave OF cursing
and think upon thy Ways

somewhat sadder en& wiser man and ia place
Of slave4catching. betook himself 10 life in one
OF the new settlements, where his talents soon
developed themselves more happily in trapping
