Ee a hr HDSR] _-- A ---- HOW He shall never have you, Letty--least wise, if I can prevent it. "7 like him indeed! I'd just as lief you'd marry Don Blecker the idiot, --- become the wife of that popinjay. 2 And Deacon Merriam deliberately tip: ped back his chair against she side of the hotise, or rather against the dooe--a habit that was a favorite ink-roon settled. Letitia began to cry a little, then thought better of it, and, drying her eyes, grew rapidly indignant. He isn't a popinjay! she said, _ He's as good as anybody, and a deal better than Peter Bridge, if you did but knew it. Peter Bridge was her father's favorite, a steady well to do young farmer, though peopleldid say he was a trifle parsimoni- ous. Well, I don't know it, ani nobody else don't know it, either! he cried angryily. Peter Bridge isa king to him, and 'has got four times the money .to say' nothing --of the old Bridge farm, that is worth / five thousand, if it is worth a dollar. | I tell ye, Letty, a gal could do much worse than to marry Peter Bridge. And much better, I hope, said Lettie. '" At any rate I shall try, for I wouldn't wipe my slippers en Peter Bridge." Well, as I said before, you never shall marry Ross Hardinge, snapped Deacon Merriam grimly ; so that is the end on't. And if you won't have Peter, why you can be an old maid, I suppose. I shall not do either. I have promised already to be Ross Hardinge's wife, and have no intention of breaking my word-- so there! And then, astonished at her own temerity, Letty burst into tears. The deacon sat silent a moment. In all his life long he had never encountered a spirit quite so rebellious as this. . I never, he cried, and in his dismay en- deavored - to regain the vosition of his chair. » But his-chair was jilted so far that it required some exertion to do this; and, £1ving a spring, the door against which it was leaning flew open ; and over he went amongst the pots and kettles; and down Saat a pail of dirty water on his devoted We are afraid the Deacon made use 'of expressions that it would be wicked for a sinner to utter.

I've heard something about Ross Har- dinge that has convincéd me he is not so bad as I thought him. Young people will be young people, and if you wish to marry him, forget what I have said. Bit he did not tell her what he had heard. 3 Of course, the deacon's objection re- moved, it was all smooth water, and Ross drove his wooing so furiously, that in three weeks they were married. Then her husband explained his artifice to her, fearing that she had been deceived, but her father had never told her what had changed his sentiments. And instead of blaming him, she kissed him and called him a dear nice fellow. In a week the deacon begat to talk It don't trouble me, said Ross with a augh. 1 Don't trouble you ?

If the deacon prayed that night more | fervently than usual, it was because 'he had a terrible struggle with Old Adam within him. After all, Ross Hardinge did not make a bad son-in-law. And when he got to Poor Horses.--There are thousands of poor horses dragging out a miserable ex- istence, suffering from a varjety of diseases, rendering them almost worthless, that would be restored to a healthy and sound condition, and a value given to them of which their owners never dreamed, would they but use the means within their reach.

It's a pretty time, if I'm to be made a laughing stock of uy own house.

No daughter of mine shall ever marry a fool ; and he is a fool, if ever there was one. The Deacornt was as good as his word re- garding the lock. He had one put on the door of her room, and Letty became a prisoner. Then he told Ross Hardinge that he never should have Letty. Why dot ? asked Ross, quite cooly. She never shall marry a idiot! Ross smiled : : Look here, old gentlemen, if you wasn't to be my fatger-in-law;' I'd make you ask pardon for that little speech. As itis, I suppose I'll have to consider upon it, in- And if I wasn't a deacon, I'd teach you Detter thins, you puppy. And with that the deacon hurried away to the blacksmith shop for the iron bars to be placed over Letty's windows. A fool, am I? Ross Hardinge mutter- .. ed, after he was gone.

I pledge you my word that I will return [every cent of it within a month." And then he signed it, and sealed it, and sent it away to the post office. Three * days later he walkrd into the office of Squire Merriam, the deacon's brother,' and told him he wished to obtain his ad- © wice. _ In what respect ! demanded the Squire.
