employed him. His amiabDe qualities aud
industry soon won their confidence. He
had teen in their employ six. months.
when the farmer, having some business at
Beardstown. sent the young mIn there to
attend to it. and as the daughter hal some
purchases TO make, she was allowed to 60

went on for l8 months, the only change
being the pleasure with which the old peo
pie discovered that the young folks were
daily becoming attached TO each other,
and they looked forward to their marriage
as result most gratifying. Being con
sidered as lovers the young people were
allowed to 'sit up together after the old
folks had retired; but one night, two
weeks ago. the old gnntleman feeling uu-
well, rose up, and not finding his daughter
iu her own bed, where she ought TO have
been, looked elsewhere. and found her
