Two things about that old woman that

proud 20 80 to the poorhouse aud lived In
al open field under sort ofa cowshed
instead, and again SHE WAS too honest to
have paper without paying for 1t and
made four turns To town with u few
"ingunsn at one load, and what few eggs
she could prevail ON somehoJy's hen to
lay, at others, ui,til she paid up for six
months subscription--aIld then took tlie
paper. A tear To her memory. And Is

good one. And Dave isn't married ?
Wonder. The girls were always sending

Goodness Gracious! Just TO think THAT

balls. who Was footing his way home,
and thinking at every step II was all
vanity, aud that hosanria Tonight meant
no more than cruelty to-morrow. And
ii does look now like vanity? Don't II.
Col? As the girls would say, II do indeed.
But tell me--liow are tile Misses Nash
and Miss Kollock getting on with ilIeir

True religion-lady>like graces--souni,

don't think he intends TO makeany oile
gill happy NJ tile expense Of the enmity
OF all the rest.
As for Mr.. Turner, we will pass that
question by, as We do not interest our-
selves ln his afiaiIs. and have no philoso-
phlcal reflections to make On his varied
fortunes.
