' OIt I can assure, yon, again, sister, i aa.• -
ticipate your attentions,' Sasso• would say.
' And I am ante we delight. Still dyee
desire to marry, take sornebudy worthy of
you and there is nothing would suit me
better.
' But Mrs Brooks.'
' A widow of sit chili/ren! 1 beg of you
if yoa value your pears of mind, don't marry
another ttran'a family. Look for somebody
else.'
Jane cou Id safely give ler brother this
advice, for she well kuew be would never
marry any one but Lucretia.
' So Samson hesitated. Although ha
sighed for the widow, he telt that it would
be ungrateful of hits I o marry against the
wishes of those who did ererything to make/
biro happy; who were so kind and disinter=
sated in furuishing Ins comfort; and who
thought so little of the property which
would f?II to them, provided that be died a
bachelor, and they were perfectly pilling
—almost anxious—that he should marry—
anybody except a widow w,tb six children.
Such was the state of affairs, gben Sam-
son went one day to cut a saw -log out of
the truck of a large maple, which the wind
had torn up by the roots, not far from the
(louse. Haring thrown his vest on the
ground, and rolled up bis sleeves, Mr.
Kepper commenced chopping ofTtbe log,
about eight feet from the butt.
It was a 'bard job,' Samsun afterwards
said—and as the sun came pouring dowu
upon him, he was quite exhausted, and
heated. Leaving tbe main portion of the
tr onk hanging by a 'chip' to tbe stem, in
order that bloels might be placed under it
to keep it Irom falling quite to the groom!.
Samson struck his ase iu:o the log, and be-
gan to look for a shady place to sit down.
Near by grew a stately basawood, from
the roots of which sprung up a luxuriant
growth of shoots, surrounding the parent
tree. 1iuIl-cling that these would not only
shade him from the sun, but also serve as
a protection against the swarm of Ries, he
determined to find a resting -place amos;
them, and began accordingly to push there
aside,in search of the most comfortable spot.
At that moment a ehirpmg of a squu•rcl
attracted Ms attention to the vast max, of
of earth, which adhered to the upturned
roots of a fallen tree. 'T11e little animal
was sitting on the sr.in,nit of tins mass, talk-
ing saucily to Mr. Kepper, who thinking of
the corioit would eomrme the coming au-
tumn, pit Led up a club, and with a well aim-
ed blues, knocked it lulu the deep cavity left
by the esiiumed roots of this tree. Alr.
Kepper, n,lL an eye to pleaaitig' his little
aaphewr, jumped into the hollow picked the
in^ .rl.uriel sit of the loud, and having
brawn it down by his vest, proceeded tie •
sseonce himself in lin. bushes.
Mr. Keeper found a most comfortable
