sense Of propricty by boasts of his wealth
and Other similar guucherits that he became
actually offensive 20 her She toll her sis
| ter that She should never forgive herself if
| she married him. Her father was absen,
| from home but her brothers insisted that il
would disgrace the family for her at that
| time to throw Mccormack over, and wor
her reluctant consent to let the ceremony
take place. Mr.. Jewctt got home on Satur
day night before the "Wednesday SCI for the
wedding. When he learned Of the change
OF his daughters affections he said there was
only one rule by which he should be guided
If she did not love the man she should no
marry HIM. AS for any disgrace involved in
acting under such a rule, he, as the head Of
the family was prepared to meet it. 1t i,

fathers dec sion, as they had hoped muct
from the union OF two such prominent fam
lilies. But everybody whose opinion is worti
having cOmmends Mr.. Jewctl's action.
