CHAPTER II. W.
Nv tself Elylil i friend did not stay long
in Cincinnati. He started off to make
a tour through Ohio, and to look out tor
a chance to enter some remuneratlve
business, in place where there were
fewer young men out OF employment.
It was q lengthy period after our part.
inc thatI heard any detailed news OF
him, and shall give intervening adven-
lures in my own words. "
In pleasant village on the banks OF
the Ohio lived, at that time, a lady OF
the old school aristocracy. She was
widow-wealthy descended from
one Of the cavaliers who assisted toform
the first colony at jamestown. me re,
snlt of these circumstances of birth and
money was painful. Mrs. Bland was SO
terribly select-so exquisitely aristo-
cratic-that she could not find any So
ciety GOOD enough for her. Il The little
town where she lived was like most other
country places, and contained no very
alayminely exclusive circle. The doe.
tor. the minister, and the principal OF
| the female seminary, with their families,
formed the most fashionable circle; but
they were eminently provincial, ana
Mrs. Bland could not descend to their
level. The Doctors father had been a
blacksmith, the minister's wife ate with
. her knife. and the head of the seminary
was moor as one of those proverbially
impoverished birds the turkeys OF JOB.
So the proud, handsome, high;ored,
: noIished. - selfish, fascinating old lady
dwelt ali alone with her fair daughter,
