 z. "Why not ?" I am doing it more as matter of accommodation to you than any thing else ;. thought you would go int Eecstacies over the gospel tidings"
 You are, too kind. l expect you vii Ecpnsent to take her property, too, saic John, grasping the cane firmly. f r If you have no delicacy in accepting 1t | suppose we will let you haye about hal of your mother-i laws property"
 "And the other half ?' .....
 ''Your mother-in- law will know what t do with it, expect, You are g strang' man. A little while ago you compared m to Moses who, led the children of Israel ou house of bondage, and now you glare a me as if you could eat me up" .,,.
 "I made 8 great mistake in comparinl you to. Moses, replied Kimball. :" should have compared you to the greed. children of Israel worshiping the goldel calf. So you took ra mean advantage Q my taking 9 little walk last night to pro pose to my mother-in-law, and she accept .a siThat is about the size of it. sha never forget your kindness in taking you wife away last night so could get chanc Il to converse with her mother. If you an her daughter had remained in the room J would never have been able to pop tn question. My dear fellow, it is easier [ I make New York alderman give up hi poodle than for me to shed tears, but yo see that am so moved with gratitude tc ward you that my eyes are moist, and tn doctor mopped one of his eyes Nith tn Il corner of his handkerchief. .. T "I've 8 notion to wear out this gold | headed cane on you," exclaimed John.

 s'That was before l saw your wife mother, who, as you say, IS most amif ble lady, whom never would have met it had not 3been for you. I owe yotl debt of grafitude which Iscant never repay If | was president of the United States would order thanksgiving celebration. J
 "Oh, you needn't thank me, replie John, grinding his teeth. 13 3.315

II am goin to call again tonight, and, as you know Mrs. Swift's daughter is devotedlY attach ed to her mother. They are inseparable You have Q great deal of influence Witl your wife, and, as it is very unpleasan thing to have a third party around while, am courting, could you not take 8 litti l walk with your wife and give me chanc tot be alone with.her mother little whil as you did last 7night2 We want to al range the details of the wedding.
