Mrs. Bankum had selected for the po-
sition of parent a 1„oertain Mr. Wilks, a
wealthy geotlernan in the neighborhood,
and by dint of perseretance and the ex-
• ercise of all her powers of fascination had
almost seenred his cepture. The ,victine
was a sturdy pillar ie. the Rev. Mr.
• Rearteease's church, on Fifth Avenue,
• and the widow had forced herself into
the poeition of what might be called a
of. pill ;lass, being president of all ;the
ladies' sewing and relief societies, the
head ef all committeeson entertain-
ments, and the chief censor of the rever-
end geOtlemen, who had ehanged his op-
inion of the true meaning of the text
wherein St. Paul alluded Co the thorn in

ance.

Heartsease's tabernacle, but as a humble
satellite in the galaxy that shrine around

Mrs. Barikum had m. ‘ade no attempt to
conceal her designs upon the single bless-

steadily and openly upon the enemy's
works, and secure the possession of a

To Mrs. Basher and Miss Jones the
widow was very open in her tonfidepoe,
when then sat together in her room af-
ter Mr. Hasher's morning domestic ar-
rangements were completed, and delight-
ed to rehearse the success of eaeh new
move in her assault upon the old gentle-
