rose, startled into burning blush by tho

its face against the cooling surface Of q

of land where the dying saw-grass stood as
if begging for sustenance. There was
merry laughter in the woods, and hard by,
at an old log house on the hill, gaudy rib
bons blazed under the sunbeams. What was
it all about? Old Hig Dalch's daughter
Lib was going to be married. All! what a
belle she was with her great black eyes and
whirlwind of brown hair; and ali! during
the busy season when every nerve was
strained in the pitching of the corn crop,
how she could, with graceful sweep, follow
