over, but blow over it did; and Cotton paid the
bills, saying, though be did, that they exceeded
his sister Lizzie's housekeeping expenses for O
whole year.
For about two months everything went on swim

made the acquaintance Of Mr.. Basque, and had
been, since their RETURN frequently entertained at
Mr.. LeB. Is hotel. He would like to give dinner

useless for Cotton to object; the dinner was or
dered, and the latter part of the week brought in
bill for champagne, wines, confectionery, fish,
flesh and fowl and servants in attendance, which
made Cotton Ware more seriously indignant than
he had ever been in his life. I" A great education
Bob was getting,i he exclaimed For his part, he

could not understand such meanness and narrow

age those free and generous habits which were as
much an honor to Cotton as any one, since they
went to prove that Bob came Of hberalhanded

his own statement, he knew more than the profess

fields, with the sweat of his brow raining down his
black and blue cheeks he cheerfully cries, stgo it

He tries to make an impression on neighbor
Solomons daughter, who ID a young lady now,
very pretty, and always dressed in charming TASTE

wore blue wooden stockings and walked to church
on Sunday; but somehow, the young lady doesn't
reciprocate his mods, but gives him the same sort
