The son was an dpOthec0ry and kept
the best pharmacy in that Uicinity. He
was very reticent young man. An 0b'
cess formed in his side, and it was mo-

aesthetic to open it, and he suffered from
neuralgia and dpoptery. So he gave
M liis'pharmacy and became a mariner.
A mu;ny was held on his ship in which

afterwards became her .fance. They be-
came insepdrdble, and often rode out in
the phdetOn. Once he asked her to go to
the pdntOni,ae, hut the roads were i'm
OdssGble: when the roads became des-
located they went. Every thing she
would say, he would 0cquiesce. They
would 60 out under the trees, and swing
in the hammock, under the azure skies.
