My name is Brown Philip Brown.
My fathers name is joel, my mother
rejoices in the old-fashioncd cogno-
men of Hannah.
Last summer a friend OF mine. on
thusiastic, and just out of college.
went to Laneyille TO rusticate. and
visit bachelor uncle. lie came home
In raptures with Lancville, but more
particularly in rapturcs with one Bes-
sic Blake, Il resident of that fcrtu-
nate town.
My mother, being of an inquiring
disposition. questioned young Gurley
In regard to this particular BESSIE.
ana learned that she was the daugh-
ter of Moses Blake, and Noses
Blake's wife was third cousin to
my mothers unclc's who's brother
in-law So we were quite closely re-
lated. My mother had once known
Mrs Blake, and Moses was man of
wealth Bessie was his daughter.
Here was IN opo~ ing!
MY mother ought TO have been
president, or n prime minister, she
was such sharp one at planning.
and before IN ny days she had decid-
ed that | was out of health. and need
ed country air. She wrote 81 anec-
tionate letter TO Mrs. Blake, stating
the affecting circumstances, dwelling
on her anxiety for her only son, and
asking that early friend if she would
not receive the invalid into her fam
lily for a few weeks.
In due time a letter arrived, say
ing that l should be welcome TO the
domicile Of the Bla5es.
'Deary me-" said my mother, adj
justing her spectacles to set a more
accurate view, lit seems to mo that
Betsey Ann Blake has neglected her
spelling dreadfully. Why, scarcely
single wore is correctly spelled, and
Betsey Ann used to be a good schol-

1t was decided on the spot that
should go to Lanesville and recuper-
ate
My wardrobe was soon put in
order, and I set forth for the home
of Bessie Blake.

odd stick, if remember, and can't
