off her shawl she lowered it into Kitty's

all her strength, and swiaging Kitty

trouble. :";..' q. :.,;:. 49,: c;ii..,.::.
"Tom," she said, in thick and hus.
Ky tonc,. "y.u lovo Kitty, and she will

Here Tom should have delivered a
speech clothed in that tender aud sim-
pie language, and with that beautiful
pathos and. refinement of feeling for
which We sll know pour young Working
men arc SO: remark ksble. But :he:ewas
au exception to, this class, and so he on

to say, "Dou't Minnie, don't break with
me this way. We will talk; it, over. . :
"No,E Tom. 2. !! said:, Miunie,: -ssthere's
no use IN talking il over-I know it
