It is a common inisidke of young ireopre, especially of those of your sex, to suppose that their parents wish to tyranize over them in the allitir of marriage.

It is nut micro - picot indeed that a father differs front a damdtter a s to th e wi s dom of her uniting herself with a certain suitor; but, iti such cases, the fa ther is. nine times out of ten right, and the child wrong.

She horst into tears, looked up him his face and said— "Oh I but papa, I love him, and he loves me : he says, Ito will throw himself away ill du not marry him ; surety, surely if I can I ought to reform him." Mr. Warren shook his head: "Curttline" he said severely, "this is sheer folly, miser able infatuation !

Listen to my words, child for you are weaker than I thought, and I must rule where I would prefer to per suade—if ever you marry Collins, from that hour this house is shut against you.

This open ing was secured by upright pieces of timber about three inches thick, through which holes were bored into the ends of the logs, for the purpose Of pinning them fast. A similar opening, but wider, was made at the end for the chimney. This was built of logs, and made large, to admit of a back and jambs of stone. At the square, two end logs projected a foot or eighteen inches beyond the wall, to receive the butting poles;as they were called, against Which the ends of the first row of clapboards was supported. The roof was formed by making the end logs shorter, until n single log formed the comb of the roof ; on• these logs the clapboards were placed, the ranges of them lapj)ing some distance over those next below them, and kept in their places by logs, placed at proper distances upon them. • 'lle roof, and sometimes the floor, were finished on the saute day of raising. A third day was commonly spent by a few carpen ters in levelling ofi the floor, making a clap board door.and table., This last was made of a split slab, and supported by four round legs set in auger holes.
