which must necessarily follow such a utiiun

you must look to some one else
for help in your need, for I would never
aid you the value of a farthing, should I '
see you starving for the want of something
to eat."
"You know not his proposals," replied
Kva ; " he does not wish me to marry him
until he is in comfot table circumstances.
His business yields him a handsome j rofit
now, and should there be no change in
the market, he n i l s?n?u be, not rich, hut
comfortably off; ami as to his being so
j>oor as yon would make it appear. I can
only say that you have Keen misinformed,
for he is, to my certain knowledge, north
a part of his stock in trade. I do not
wish to disobey you in the lirst thing, hut,
as I have sni I bofoie, as long as there is

Hick was often practiced upon
Itiiil ; therefore, Unless his fa their has got I
a very long purse, Ada Nelson will find j
her mnrriuge with him a hiul move.?
However, her father thinks favorably of
it, and wo should rather think it will ho a
match. for Ada woflld liot darego against
his wishes, for all she is so wild and thought*
less.
As the Nelsons were sitting in their parlor
one evening, the servant entered and
announced Mr. Wilson, lie was ushered J
into the room, and seated himself on the j
sot' by the side of Ada. Soon the whole j
family entered into a lively conversation !
upon the topics of the day.
As the e veiling ad valued, Mr. Nelson
and his wife, with Kva, retired, leaving j
Ada and Mr. Wilson hy themselves. I'er
a moment after they had left the room,
there was a pause, hut Henry at Inst broke
t e silence. He told her his love for her
in the true southern style, declaring his
vows of constancy?that lie love ! the very j
earth she trod upon; and she, heicg easilv

to tee, and which we will not attempt to j
describe. Sail ice it to say, that night the
happy day was ap]?oiutcd, and Henry
\N iisou deehtred that ho was the happiest |
matt in existence.
A few weeks after the uImivo eonversa '
tion, there wore* carriages coining ami go- I

I ii t Eva?how was she ? She enjoyed
herself as well as she could tinder the circumstances,
hut since she had the last
mentioned conversation with her father, !
her spirits seemed depressed ; yet she
would not give tip her William?she felt
that he alone could make her happy.
On relating the whole to William, lie |
thought, after considering the matter that
it was I .est for them to marry, providing it !
suited her to do so.
' Vou know, dear William," said Kva, l
"that your will is mine, and I think that
with \oiir love, I should he far happier
with you in a hiinihle cot, than with my
parents in their splendid mansion. Let it
he so; it may as well he now as at some
future time."
As In' finished tin* last sentence, tears j
of sorrow "'oiled down her cheeks. She
loved her parents, hut still she felt that
they wronged him she loved?shamefully '
wronged hint.
" Nay, dear??>l Eva, do not weep," said
William, " for 1 trust t at ere long w e shall
he in such circumstance* that your parent*
w it no louder look upon me'with disdain.

We xx ill ilot detail any more of their
conversation, nor xxill xxe give an aceouut ^
of their marriage. Sulliee. it to say, that
lltey did not call iijkmi Mr. Nelson for a
marriage party, but in the Mudy of the

Henry Wilson, t hey xxere united in the j
holy banns of matrimony, ami txxo true
hearts than those were never pledged to
constancy.

in- The Cleveland Herald of Wednsday,
gives the following account of a singular

ivo days since:?A homespun farmer-like

on lio had reeenlly aold his farm, and claimed
nin to b* in search of a new location in this

acpismtance of Mr. I^owia Warner, examined
his farm, which contained 123
on acres and agreed to purchase it for $5,000.
I to Ho procured from Mr. Warner a written
agreement to thia effect, signed by him;
iltM also tliD deed which gave him (War- II<

taking it to Cleveland and examining the ; 'he d
title. Hudson then went to Mr. Cogswell i ' ?m
Justice of the Peace in Parma, and un- ! ot ]?t

business, obtained his address, in his own I scrim

Thus having in his possession W arner's j pi"lti
deed, and the signatures of Warner and . s't im
Cogswell, Hudson came t Cleveland, and j ear it
drew np a deed conveying the land tuition,!
himself, to which lie forged the signature I given
of Warner as donor, and of Cogswell as If

those of two witnesses. j trope

With this apparently indisputable cvi- ">y h

to Thomas Holton, Ivsip, of this eitv, for a j will '
loan of $ 1.000, offering mortgage security I I ha\
upon the farm. Mr. Holton consented to j swort
