Twill take the train and go in alone Just
This once. l am nearly eighteen any way,
and it is time for me to do something by
myself"
ayes, my dear, but you will always seem
mere baby to me, and the boys are all
grown up now and consider themselves
men, and | want my little Ally to try and
please father and mother, and be com
6ort to them"
"1es, mother, but l never go anywhere
alone, and all the young folks down in the
Village laugh at me, and call me baby"
"But have those other girls had the ad-
Vantages you have had? Remember, dear
child, you have been away a long time, and
~e have all missed you very much. Now
wait, like good girl, until father comes in
and let him go with you"
II seemed to be Aly's determination to
60 alone however, and she soon succeed
cd IN coaxing her mother to trust her Iust
pnce, and settle it all right with father and
Ehe bows.
The above dialogue took place one bright
fune morning between mother and daugh-
ler, wife and only daughter of Farmer
Robinson.
Ally's parents had married young, and
dseir whole fortune consisted of health,
ove and good will; they had settled down
pn small hired farm at first, but, by in
austry and saving, had accumulated
enough to buy the more commodious farm
n Squire Horton, which, he having recent.
b. died, had to be sold cheap to settle his
Rffairs, the heirs being scattered all over
the State.
The Robinsons had raised family of
eight sturdy sons, the Youngest of whom
vas ten years old when Ally was born.
BY that time MIR. Robinson was the
Gealthiest farmer for miles around, and
both delighted parents declared that their
only daughter should be brought up lady,
With all the accomplishments
All that governess and music master
could do was done for her until Miss Ally
reaching the interesting age of fifteen,
when she was considered out of their
hands, and nothing else but boarding
school would do to finish this young lady
So all arrangements were completed,
and it was settled that she should go to S.
two hundred miles from the farm, to the
finishing school OF Miss Dridgman, very
worthy maiden lady of uncertain age, but
whose graduates were noted for their cul-
tlre and refinement.
At the time of the fearful separation
from parents and big brothers Ally was a
merry, sweet child with that rare combi-
nation ofbiack ewes and golden hair which,
