He writes tcndir poetry, too ; but tren‘rally ins[»ira- lion sei.-es him iifter cjiting heartily d roast beef: the sly rogue knows that an empty stomach is not favorable to smooth rhyme or .ot’t se’.itiment. i The hone-ynmon had just expired, or rather the months allotted to that interest ing period ; for it has been a-certained tlnit taut seiison can ho protracted by proper metius, to till iniu linite length of time.

She did not design buiyiiig her self in the kitchen, or attaching herself to liiddy. She luul married for tt Home and niainteniince. not to spend her tiinc in roll ing pii'-crust or moulding lin ad. Henry Thornton looked suri>ris'd, and no wonder, for he felt surprised. 'J iiat his a- donible Helen could be i>ervi*rse wln-n it suited her, he well knew; but hat she would ‘[Hit down ner feet so deter niiiedly, set him to thinking.

'I’he story need not be I ni^then- ed.
