Daniel sbpok his.head and made a fein t of re

years old, and was considered a likely young

Ido suppose I might'her had my pick of'most

how or nother I didn’t keer much about em.

“Oh that’s so nice.? ’ How near the by menial

' “ F don’t know nothin about ybur. high men

in s talk I had with''that'ere gal, would have
tied me up faster’ll—the old man was at a

“ Only tine syllable, uncle f”
“ Nary another. ’This is the way it was. I
kept growin more and more miserable, till at

myself, “Daniel,'* pays I, “put yourself out
•of misery at ohce,’’ Says I, '*l will," 'says I.
This was on Saturday, the next night, Sunday,
found me in Cap’n Ends Jepklns’ parlor, "(Per
emely boarded at Ca’n Enos’s) with a pair of
.new boots and a well greased head. From
seven to nine I talked with Cap’n Enos and
Mr*. Cap’n Enos, making .eyes at, Permely
when I could get a e fiance. Bimeby Cap’n
Enos and Mrs. Cap’nEnoa went, off up stair*,
and there was roe and Permely; left alll soul
alone. She sot oh one side of. tbe rdom and !
sot on totber, and there we sot and »ot tiil’t was
ever so much o’clock, hytber- saying nothing to
totber, Atilaat l got bp' and went to the win

an idee,'but 1 didn’t see’nothing ;but the gate,
a cart, a heap of, punkio* and the iboon. After
Batoin my nose again thi glass a long spell, 11
turned right square ipund and ’sajs: “The
moon ain’t south’, yet by a jug-full,” says I. j
One Would naterally suppose that would have i
brought Permely out, but it didnjt; ,shd nevef
stirred do njor’n. though she’d bin. ft stork of
fetone or a heathen idle. ' So thar .we sot and
soragin.” '
’ "Mf gra'eions7~birw funny!” exclaimed
Eden. i
“Funny ! waf *twaa anythin but funny to
me. I’d gin a boot to; bin in a humble bee’s <

" Why in coarse I do. She could" bey said
yes just tut easy ns no—but I’m glndi?he didn’t.
That ere gal married, Isaiah Cunistock after
wards; and she drair him fust to drink and then
to self-suicide.' I was qrownerof the, jury that
sot on Isaiah, and while we set on tfis body" we
could hear her scolding in the pext rood) like
sixty. So we gin ih'tbat the suicide .was Job
