Mr.. Belcher,s Third I,ecture.

Mr. Belcher had been walking on the

al should like to have you tell me, Mr..
Belcher, how you spent this afternoon"
Gas usual.'
"Oh, you spent it as usual did you? Then
Pm to understand that its usual for you to
take walk on the Common with that for
ward good nothing widow Watson. Mr..
Belcher, amt you ashamed of it!"
"Never did it but once"
"That's once too often. But don't be-
lieve you, there, Mr.. Belcher. should like
to know what would make you meet her by
appointment this afternoon, if you have
never done it before"
"Did'nt meet her by appointment. All a
mere accident"
"That's likely story, Belcher, gerry
likely story. Thank heaven know some-
thing! Pm not all together fool. Bel
cher, you need't think when you're out Of
my sight you can do just as you like. To
be walking out with that forward widow,
laughing and enjoying yourself, when your
poor wife was Shaving at home-it's abomin-
able! You're never caught inviting me to
GO out TO walk, not you-but you can invite
the widow Watson, eh?"
"You wouldn't go if shoud.'
Chow do you know | shouldn't! How
can you tell when I never get an invita-
ton! But you don't want me to go any
where. You never did. If | stay at home
cook your dinners, and mend your clothes
and take care of your house and children,
that's all you want. II was always so Bel
cher. There was time when you not only
invited me out to walk. but to ride. Yes,
Belcher, you have hired carriages time with
out number for that purpose"
"Not so foolish now"
"Belcher, you are unfeeling-to me, |
mean. | suppose you are very soft and
sweet to the widow should like to shut
her up in cake, and keep her the!e-the
mink"
Chow very amiable."
"If Pm not amiable, Belcher, it's you
that's made me So As my dear mother
used to say, / was the sweetest tempered
child that ever was"
"Pity there wasn't some oft left now"
"Mr. Belcher, if am changed, | am not
such brute as you, and never could be. In
viting the widow out to walk. Wonder when
my invitation will come"
hadn't we better get up and take a
walk"
"At midnight! Mr.. Belcher, you're
shameful-poor villainous-you're-"
Here the speakers words died away in
a confused murmur, and Belcher went to
sleep.
