Had she beenWith her father at home and such

indignant and insulted, and ordered him from

with his good fortune. As he left the room
he said 'Sslhe,-I shall call you salhe,

She walked up to the mine next day.
Tom explained the theory and principle OF
getting the precious metal into the market.
She was delighted with her walk, and after
that they were frequent and they walked
in the evening. Had not the sad event OF
her fathers death occurred she would have
been supreuely happy. He had grown to
be her world; and her ideslizston pictured
him all that maiden could wish in this
world. Strong manly, breave, and honest,

Sallie Meyers felt that the preceding two
months had done more to show her

true womaly duty, than all her preceding
life had done. To be plain, she felt that
she would like to marry Thomas Duncan.
Tom would not have been unwilling, but he
regarded this matter in serious practical
hight. To take a young girl for wife,
when he could net support her as he deslr-
ed seemed criminal Then too she could
not live there where female society was al
most unknown; and too, she possessed

the feelings that strove for birth and life.
Dear reader you must be gett ng weary.
We are fast approaching that conventional
end of all love tales-marrisge. Ssllie
brsvely over-ruled the objections that Tom
suggested, and spoke her woman's heart.
They both remained until fall. Then to-
