"Excite one • for himself." This was sae of Law 4

estimation of certain parties with hens he 'wished 4
stand particularly fair. lit all his dealings. this ratmlut
was alone regarded; and he was satisfied unlesi
in bargaining. he secured the greater advantage. a thing
that pretty generally occurred. '
There resided in the same town that , Tilghman •
woolens town—a certain young lady. whose father own
a Juge amount of property. She was his only chit
and would fill heir at his deatb, to all his mialth. • Of
coin*, this yohng lady had attraction's that wire felt tie
be of a most weighty character by certain young maw i 4
tho town; who made themselves as agreeable to her ad
possible. Among them was Lawrence Tilghman.
"Liirry.'i said a friend to him one day—they had been
talking about the young lady—“it's no use for you • te
play the agreeable tollelen Walcot." .
"And why not. pray?" returned Tilghman. .
"They say she's engaged." . '
"To whom?" 1
"To a young man i 6 Columbus" -
"Who says so?" i
,
"1 can't nientlin m theeit y; but It's geed." 1
"Eripged, ha! ell. ill break that engagement. if
there's any virtue in trying." i ' i
"You will?"' • I
"Certainly. Helen will be worth a nium when t
'Adman, her father, dies; and I've made op my ~ ad
to handle some of his thousands."l
"But certainly. Larry. you will not aUemnt tp i leder°

"I don't believe guy contract exists," plied the
, oung,man. "Anyhow. while a lady is a* ale I regard

Oen of his feelings, he said to himself— f - ;
"I'll show thts Columbus man that I'm worth desse

of him. The boldest wins the fair. I wouldn 't iVe
much for his engagement." '
Tilghman was a merchant, and visited thei, east twin '
every year for the purpose of 'buying grounds. Laot
