And so do L. said Ned; and seizing

Ten days from this it was a rainy day

standing the many offers. Fanny never
felt in duty bound 10 leave mother or hel
fathers house for that of any other man
To tell the truth, she had never fallen
very deeply in love; but since her moth
er's death she felt herself at liberty, at
least TO think of one day finding some
one else to love and cherish.
Mrs. Manly had indeed invited. urged
her more than once to come to Cincin
natl on visit. limiting that one Mr..
Frank. of whom she spoke in the high
est commendation. was a proper man for
her. and old enough to think of getting
him a little comforter! Aud then how
pleasant it would be for them both to
live so near together. But Fanny still
remained at home: her stricken father
needed all her love and tenderness. The
thought how doubly lonely he would be
if she were gone.

uncle's in the city. 1t was dark and
