Burst, fair earth to earliest flowers,
Sing, oh brds, in new budded bowers"
Three years have rolled around between
these chapters. Three or four-l can't re.
member distinctly which; but fortunately it
is immatcrial to the issue of this romance.
But where, oh! where, are Abraham and
the faithful Maria. The last we saw of Abra-
ham he was measuring land under the super
attendance of Watch, and Maria was lying
on the ground in Il swoon. Well Abraham
euded the teeth of Watch, and arrived safely
home. Watch came back painting, and with
his tongue lolling out, anil rolled in mud
puddle to cool OIL.

pail, walked calmly in The house and went to
