baad,s said Mrs. Hartwell, cor Lucy will be
lost"
Married, you mean, my dear"
aAnd would not that be the same as lost, Mr.
Hsrtwelli Only think, daughter Of ours
married TO q shoemaker! You would turn Ro-
ger out of doors if it were not for his politics.
Why, wife, / have often heard you praise
his industry and excellent character, and he
deserves it--for he is really very clever, sem
able young man."
$50 he Is, husband, good enough in his way,
and at his trade but can you think hun COM
pany for our Lucy, the only child of Justice OF
the Peace;"
Now Squire Hartwell happened to be in a
most self-complacent mood He was seated IN
his deem cushioned, high backed elbow chair, Ia
ponderous machine, containing sufficient mate
rial to frame a modern fashionable cottage,)
smoking his afternoon pipe, and watching,
through the open window, the operations of his
reapers in the broad field of wheat which COW
cred many an acre of the gently rising ground
east of his dwelling Here were two sources of
satisfaction--personal ease and the contempll-
ton Of his property Then his wife had touched
on another most agreeable vein, his magisterial
dignity. Luckily for Roger, she did not urge
this to the utmost. Squire Hartwell had held
the Office of Justice of the Peace for a number Of
years, and had, only the week before the com
mencement of my story, received the additional
honor Of " Quorum to his justiceship. Like
all other novelties, this honor seemed of far
greater importance than his old commission.
Had his wife only said s'Justice of the Peace
and Quorum" poor Roger would have been
a lost case. But now, after deliberately shak-
ing the ashes from his pipe, Squire Hartwell
sat up in his chair with the bearing of man
who is intending to give impartial judgment, let
the matter terminate as it may.
81 fear, wife, you are indulging too much
Il Al nj If
the arbitrary distinctions of power, and crying
out against the expressions of Parliament, and
the insolence of the Lords and shall we now
cast aside, as of no account, q vessel which may
have been made unto honor, merely because it
has not been fashioned in the same manner as
ourselves No, no, wife; such pride will never
do for Christians"
"And you are willing that our Lucy as good
and lovely girl as the Colony of Connecticut
can show, should marry shoemaker
81 did not say that, my dear Surely, can
like Roger, without wanting him for son-ln-
law; though l think Lucy might look farther
and choose worse"
ssShe might marry Seth Trumbull."
Probably
81 have heard you say that he was promis-
ing young lawyer
Eyes, he promises well but it is performance
must make the man
.sThen Dr. Walker is dying for her"
If he is good doctor, then he can cure
himself"
"B But only think of the difference between
him and Roger"
