He was thrown am- ong a very rough class, but his early edu- eation and training' preserved him, He had a partner, as lwo could be company for each other, and in. case of sickness take care of each other. At first their accumu- lations were larg®, and at the end of three years George concluded his ambition was satisfied. He had enough to hake himself and Nellie comfortable; and what more did he Want ? B fu the latter part of the summer of 1849, George wrote, " I will endeavor to be home at Christmas time. I have enough to buy back the old fromestead, as that seemed to be' the height of Nellie's ambition, and enongh besides as a capital to work with." Christmas came, but George Colburn came not. Instead came 3 letier, saying that just as he 'was about to start for home his partner * had left for parts unknown, with all the accumulations of both. * « It seems ed and tied. | cannot comme home tow. -- Be of good cheer, Nellie; all 'may yet be well.

When he came to himself he found a black woman standing over him, who had watched him all through his fever. She said, * Massa I thought you was going to other country, sure.
