aWell. cir, you are o scoundIel and viii'an'

dsc,lv. effrontry and impudence, 90 you now
urove yourself 20 be 10 polluting my house with
vour conteminating presence, never saw
To say / was astonished, would be but faint
vAy Of exp,essing it. Iwas completely taken
back. but, finally, managed 70 ma my speeen'
when politely requested him TO explain him-
self, ss was not aware that mad oeen guii'y
Of any act to merit these animadversious'
"Expaio, sir.-vhy, what 90 you mean you
contemptible puppy and h'ying grossly insult
ed nv daughter as we'll as myself--A fact which
we have ample testimony in your own hand
yritinp-do YOU daro to come and deny to my
face any knowledge Of the fact whatever2"
This was something Was entirely unpreparsd
for, and looked long and earnestly at the man
60 see If he was insane or not what oid ne
meant What pseIosterous ideaf offer an
iosult TO his daughter! her, for whom l Wonld
oheerfully have laid down my life, and felt only
too thankful for the opportunity.
"Mr. Mayburu," said !, Us soon as / could
recover nv faculties, II will not be thus trihed
with any longer. have never, either by word
or deed, been the cauae Of wounding your
daughter's feelings, and l."
Bu. he seemed determined that should have
no chance to vindicate myself in any way, and
stopped me short by producing from his pocket
a letter, which he thrust fercely into my hand
saying, as be did 90, "There is tho undsniable
proof; let us have no more words about IT.
Leave my house, and never enter IL again Of
long as you live, or | will have you pitched
head foremost into the street."
Mechanically took the letter, the hand
writing Of which Immediately recognised a
nv own, and ran my eye burriedly over th,
contents. Good heavens! 1t was the note had
by mistake, inclosed in the envelope addresses
to Mr.. Mayburn, and uiee ueTsa.
As the reader is doubtless anxious to know
what the letter could possibly contain to co com
pletely turn the tide OF affairs pertaining to m!
matrimonial prospects, will give 1t verbatim
"JoLLY CHuM: cit down to scrawl you
word or two In reiere ence TO the superb anima
over which you hold legal sway, and of whom
as you are already aware, / have long desired (,

Feeling certain that my offer will prove accept
able. / will call on you in short time, unit
which do not wish YOU to dispose of her.
"Yours considerably,
