Winters, though ayeFse 70 gong to par

as he was, by Hodges, who declared he
would not get married except IN his pres

brought together, to the embarrassment of
both, since they were, more Gazed at, and
commented upon than even the married
couple Both We're aware of this, and
their discomfort was not lessoned by the
consciousness 'u OF the conspicuous place they

of appearing as a witness, on an occasion
that you viii remember, and prevented the

him, from public disgrace, and by his in
Auence with members of the Legislature,
divested you Of the hated name you had
assumed at the hymenial alter-and all
this he did at a time when others would

exulted over your misfortune And what
has been his reward? The upceasino hat
