On the following morning he rt fl fled
anew upoD bia plan, and found it untie- p
tiunable in every point nc-;t tlie very
alight circutn-tiitiCfi of not kno.itig nbcu or
hero bo irai to Oud the bciica he wauled.
In Loudon, where all tho world regarded
him aa a spendthrift, it was ii.il once to be
thoiitbt of; be taw 1 1 1 . t lor the fulure
he lnut throw bia ueM out ole In re. Af
tcr in ncIi coilatiott and aearchiiit', '

on hia own estate, aouio twelve miles lioni
the capitnl, w lio fortuu:ilfly had iu ae, i.i n
tancca in Loudon, and wan the I tilitr of un
only daughter.
Into the houm of this gentleman, by
means of a friuud, to whom he promin. d
half the booty, tie got Liun.ll' ititroiiuced

tat an awkard country girl, uith round
chubby Ciiei k, and looked pari icut.ii ly ed I
in the hand me down attire of lu r euinied
mother, which did not at all tit, and was not
of the ino'l fashionable cut. II r mind,
too, waa at atlraclivs ia her attire alio
coultl only talk of bena and geese J aud
when any other topic came above board,
her conversation was limited to a yen,

lo her sinful.
1'liia wooden puppet was indeed a mighty
contrast to the sprightly, gay, and lively
nymphs with whom the young Hiitou had,
been toying ; but he carefully confined lo
the solitude of bis own bosom, the di-ugreea-ble
feelings of this difference. His fi .-liter,
iitj tongue called the girl's atillness releatial
innoern-e, and red, swollen clieek ho liken

and slid, poor thing, as in duty bound, re

aught else be expected I
Iu a few vet ks the marriage ceremony
was performed al the country houe of the
Dot. and he iutant!y made his son in law

thirty lliou-and dollars. I lie dia-cuiblpr
