Rev. Allston Granger, and her affection
was ciprocated. So they were married. :.
IS Mr.. Granger lived in the country; and if
VyeuA want to know what kind of a life his
was, Just You go and change yourself into
q minister, and settle somewhere Just out
OF a. city, with ali OF the inhabitants of
(which you are more or less acquainted
each and every one of whom viii consider
it an espectsI duty TO come out and take
tea wlth you q nalt-oozen times year, and
all OF Mhom VIII consider it an insult If
your VIE don't have three kinds of cake
ana fresh milk, eggs and honey on the Ia
Ole. Of course, people who live in the
country are expected to have all these
tninRs IN great abundance. r,, =.

ole woman, and tried to have every thing
smooth, and she was over-run with compa-

peeted to Keep a hotel, and keep it in a

1t must be open night and day, and hot
meals served at all hours. Nobody must be
refused .adfnittanee. People who are too
low 20 stay at the tavsrns are sent to the
minister's Tract peddlers, book peddlers,
agents, women's rights lecturers-every
body, in fact, must go to the minister's.
And then If the poor clergyman, thinking
OF his hisover-worked wife, and the consump-
tive state Of his larder, ventures to hint
THAI his salary is small one, he is piously
reminded that st. Paul and st. Peter, and
those other line fellows of that epoch, did
not dream OF receiving any salary at all.

tafned all creation upon free cost Goes not
appear. isi47a ~ .a..i4iye.
70 MRS. GraEsSer was not strong woman,
and having been brought up delicately, her
burden fell heavily. They were too poor

except ner washing. ,+lIel. .o.si. -..4s.

volunteered their assistance about any
