CHAPTER XIII.

Mr.. Overshute had always been on
good terms with Mrs. hermitage. The
lady desired no better suitor for her niece
than Russell Oyershute, and had labored
both by word and deed to afford him fair
opportunity. Moreover, ii was one of
her great delights. when time went heav-
lily with her. TO foster quiet little fight
between young Russell and his mother.
Those two. though filled with the deepest
affection and admiration for each other,
could scarcely sit half an hour together
without warm argument rising. The

The lady was all the more vexed with
others. because her own conscience was
vexed with her; and as 0vershute came
with his quick. firm step. she spoke to
him rather sharply.

Why He Chose Sally.

Representative Richardson tells of
the philosophy of an Alabama swain
who courted two girls living in ad-
joining towns. One was Sally and the
other was Mary
Sally" says Mr.. Richardson, was
very nice girl, thrifty, industrious,
and of a domestic turn. The young
man had courted her in his earlier
years. She was not so pretty as some
other girls. When the young man had
prospered and earned little money,
he became infatuated with Mary,
sweet and pretty, but always idle.
The neighbors predicted a match, but
to their surprise, James, the swain in
question, suddenly resumed his earlier
courtship and he and Sally were made
one.
1.-The Methodist preacher on that
circuit, who performed the marriage
ceremony, had little of the curiosity
that possesses all mankind.
James," said he, 1--WE all thought
you We're going to marry Mary
