 Paul Conway would have found easy task to make suitable reply |, delightful mixture of religion and but. fortunately for him. the pair ha rived at the shop in which Deacon cock pursued his worldly vocation ol I ing sugar, pickles and tobacco, ar| no reply was necessary. It had bed ranged that Paul should sleep d deacon's, so as to be in readiness fd meeting on the morrow of the mer| of Bethel who were to examine and point him.

 Miss Bocock was not impervio, such delicate fattery, but appears must be kept sp, even at the cos vanity.
