There is list of goods which was
recently paid by young man in our
employ to a father-in-law who had an
eye for business before the young man
secured his wife, And the time will
never come when his father-in-law
will not regard it as his perfect right
to ask his son-in-law for anything
more he may want. The list is thus:
Eighty neptunes, five guns, thirty
two marks about 49, worth of cloth,
three goats, five cases of gin, three
kegs of powder, two zinc trunks, two
umbrellas, one coat, two chairs, two
tall hats. three felt hats, one flag, four
shirts, one tin of sugar, eight drink
ing glasses, twelve plates, one lamp,
two brass kettles, four small iron pots,
one knife, twenty-five pipes, two jugs,
one large iron pot, thirty brass wires,
four pairs of scissors, and about
twenty three marks in cash, ($5.75.)
Quite u long, costly list for this
country, when it is remembered
that this young man receives but
twenty marks about $5) per month
for his wages, upon which he must
clothe himself as we'll as divide with
others. When the father-in-law con-
cludes that the son-in-law has paid
him enough, for the time being, for
his daughter, he then gives her over
to the young man, and she becomes
his wife. -Church at Home and
