see that the duty was sternly performed.
Shawn was now dismissed with q doub
gratuity, in order that he might reconnQ
tire for q day or two, before the part
should be dispatched. Ffolliot and Bake
soon after left Sir John also, after havin
assisted him to sanctify the Sabbath, inlth
manner described.
''The conduct of Arthur is very unduti
fal and provoking" observed Ffolliot, a

continuing his visits to such noted recu
sants after my having peremptorily for
hidden them, and insisted on his no
thinking further of the girl"
1t is provoking, indeed. If it had eve
been before that drunken boy became
conformist, there might he chance o.
large settlements with her. But now, thu
connection would bring only disgrace ani

MERRY, sir you want to drive me mad
Marry her, after all the pains have taken
IN planning his aggrandizement By
heaven, he should sooner marry the
kitchshmaid No, no, I'll soon clip the
young gOslin's wings; and it I'll go hard or

seheming daughter from the neighborhood,
and put them out of the way of giving me
further annoyance"

Ay, but that wild brother of hers, uni

always attached to her; and there's noy
saying what despei ate thought might COME
into his head If any violent steps wereA
taken towards her. Heigh ho! we havel
all our own rubs. God help all industrious,l
and not over-wise fathers, that waste time
and talent in accommodating for thanklessk
offspring. You see that unfortunate boyE

"Well, we've had enough of an uni

Yes, but you saw l took a hint very&
