"Done!" said his lordship. and the squire
set out on his LIE-making expedition..
He SOOll ascertained the causeof Darby's
melancholy. There bad been. a quarrel
between him and the girl of his heart, the
lovely Cauthleen. Pride prevented. a re
conciliation, though both would•have given

She had a heart 'that was, kind and be
nevolent, and was not unmindful of the
poor, and 'friendless, nor did she ever send
the needy from her door - until they carried
with them the mite 'of a lone tvidow. She
was not parsimonious in any of her ways.

Many suitors came to solicit her hand.
They made honorable offers. They would
take care of her property, they would,,love,
honor; and cherish her forever. But she
drove them all, all into--despair. and told
them (they could hardly credit , her. words)
that she should retuDin—A LONE _WIDOW,
But who can foresee the course of events.
Which mock even, the art'of divining? At
