Speaking of marriages reminds me of a
little incident at the springs last summer.
A young lady from here was amusing the
company by telling how rich the man must
be tat married her, what pin money she

arm they have leaned upon suddenly life
less, the voice that counseled dumb for
ever. May God spare me the affliction of
living, in my age to see the friends of my
heart die before me. KATE HEATH.
