In a second a sun of the simpleet de-

head. It is now the second Week of
April; .. they are to 'be° Married in June,
he has then eight weeks left. It shocke
himself to find that this is the way in
which he puts it. AU the over action'
that he permits himself, however, is to

It .Would seem natural that, after so
long a' separation, Burgoyne reheeted dine
and spend the evening with his betroth-
ed; but such is not the case. For this,
however, he is not to blame; he is quite
prepared to stay with her uotil she turns
him out. Had he not'better school him-
self tO domestic habits, since he is so
soon to assume them for life? But in
