Mr. Ebenszsr Delfs money may. as bis

Mr. Deli may have bean only retired but

foe alike that be Was made OF sound stuff
Amid insult and obloquy be gathered to
getber the few stslwsH Radicals in Dolh

but be wss never discouraged. After every

Deli came up 10 London be was . notable
man. Leading Liberals, impressed by the
Energy and courage. with which be had
wAged u desperate wsr, asked him to their
houses, and there his modesty. unaffected
manners and rugged honesty were as much

Amorg the old friends Who then stood
by him and whom be nov cherished with
deepest affection was young Cbsrles

shown uncommon ability at the grammar
school Vt Barns borough road. had been
sent by his fsthtr to Cambridge where be
had greatly distinp uished himself. From
Cambridge be went to the Temple to study
for the bar. Politics. however, proved
more sllunng than law, and the young bars
rister spent so much Of bis time spesking
OF political meetings and working for bis
party that be had little leisure left for the
pursuit OF bis profession. In the long
sturagle 10 Doltshire be had been . tower
Of strength TO Mr.. Deli. he was q clear.

honesty and determination heequal OF the
candidate himself. OF sll Mr.. Delfs sup.
porters there wss not one who possessed
one.bslf Of Charles Strongss ability. or
enjoyed oneibslf Of bis popularity with
the electorate. After his triumph the
member never hesitsied TO decsre thst the
honor OF the victory belonged fer less to
him than to bis clever and indefstigsble
young lieutenant.
During the campaign Charles S'ronge
and Miss Rosa were thrown y great deal
together. Charlie was much more cuI,
ture aud refined young man than most OF
those whom Miss Rosa was at that time
accustomed to meet. and naturally she
conceived high sdmiration Of him. which
rapidly ripensd into affection. This feel.
ing Chsriie iervenily returned. Mr.. and
Mrs. Deli observed the attachment. which
was sprineing mp between the young
couple and we're pleased. Mr.. Deli was
bimself copviced. and be soon convinced
his wife. that Charlie WAS . man with 3
