'And what is it you're thinking of,
IMiiueas, my lad, all this long afternoon
thai you're not opened your mouth once ?
'Tia time you were thinking of a wife, I
should say. Little did your father need,
when be waa your Age, to hare hte
mother tell him, aa 1 now do you, that
she would hare no old bnchelora round
the house. No, l'hineaa, lad, oti|*bachel
op do not belong to our family, and,
* HI would be my lurk to be bringiog in
the first. I/O ok round, a^) T?u
find the right one, brinmmher home here
to me, to the old bomcateta None of the
new- fashioned jmaaa, their silka |
fine airs and delfttiiWHy*, but think of
me when I waa a girl ; and aak her aa
your father did me, could I milk the >
cow? could ( scrub and sand the floor? |
and wan I a busybody I,<1 * gadder- i

And while, her braath being ex- I
haustcd, the speaker looked up from the j
stocking the wan darning tQ^g what I
effect her words had upou IMiine^p, mv :
Jad, (for she had such a habit of saying |
my lad when she spoke to her am that ,
it secincd like his surname,) we will i
look at hiin too. I'hineas Foster, the J
hero of our story, is not much of a !
sight as ho aits there patching an old !
shoe? for ho is s farmer in summer, 1
cobhicr in winter. He is tall and thin, |
with that extremely diffident appearance
which white hair, scry red face, and (
falling, stooping shoulders giro to any
man ; but Phinea* suffered not onlv J
from these personal defeeta, but his eye* j
being extremely weak were protected 1
from the light by a pair of silver-bowed, |
blue glass spectacles. Ilia bluo cotton!
frowsers having at some former liuie '
given out at the knee, his careful mother !
had taken out the weak part and
sewed the rest together again, giving-by '
such an abridgement a view of ankle and
no forth, decidedly unbecoming to tlie
stylo of figure of our friend Thincs*.
The tout rnsemWe, though striking, was ,
anything but agreeable,and l'hineas look- j
ed much more like a candidate for old
bscbcinrxliip rii<I one corner of hie (
mother's fireplace, than for inulrimony [
and it* care*.
Vet there was one in whose estimation I
l'hineas Foster was the one perfect, and !
she, sitting in a distant corner binding |
the shoes which he wi?a to sole, waited j
as impatiently as we do for his repiy to I,
his mother. Now l'hineas was not gwiltj
of ranch thinking, and *rheo he finaind
bis mother's eye was upon biin, said,

hit

penniless orphan, without home or ami

Anna P. was about bestowing her affection?

i??! idrtDtM year* of Mr. N., she |
bade adieu to her former satellite and
accepted tbe ministerial proposal. All
meat on monthly, and the wedding day i
drew near. * 1
I said^all went on smoothly, * bat 1
there waa ono change in tho qoiet house- 1
bold. 8be who had made herself so useful 1
in that loocly house, Priaeilla, tbe orphan, { 1

Phineea leaves the paternal mansion <
on hhrBfat jo urney with a gloomy heart, j '
and painfully conacioua of baring in his I <
pome anion a marriage certificate, and in 1
his carpet-bag a new suit of clothes, j j
tarts for the notne of his beloved, for
tbe weddiog day haa come. As he , '
rasses by the village whero now lives ; *
'riscilla, he thinks how much ploasanter ; <
it would be if be were onming to take j I
her homo again to that little corner of ,
the sitting-room, which she had made ; 1
her own, instead of going in search of all
new fane. lie never li*.! ?nn<l?r.ul ?'

It is difficult for as in this ago and U
region of weddings to believe that * 1
person could have been in oxi*truco as 1
long aa Phineaa had, and never been to .1 1
wedding; yet so it was. Thero was lit- 1 '
tie marrying and giving in marriago in , 1
the retired place of his houM, and he \ c
had slighted even his few opportunities. J *
Ho kne* there was a minister and a cer- '
tificate, but there his knowledge ended. I r
So having arrived at hia destination some, t
what after tho promised hour on account ! >
of various accidents, be thought to save !
time, he would go to the clergyman himself
and that being aecooiphiahed go and ?
greet his wife. Ho happened to have a ; r
tneasage form Mr. N. to a brother minis- ' '
(er in thia town, and, armed with cert'u^'
flonte and carpet-bag, he hastens to put f f
his bright thought into execution; finds 1
the person whom he aeeks at bom<^ and *
having delivered the message, announce* *

PBnrpcfiter was engaged upon it, wht^i it
itredfed Mr. Jones, and quietly possessed
' himself of a long sharp ehiscl. When th<

bolted. Tho doctor was sent for. lie
' came. Ileconnoitering through the key'

nt the other end of the mom, he opened the
I door nnd saw at once that he could dc

Here was apparently a dilemma. A
i i raiy man, ns strong aa a bull, perfectly
uncontrollable, and armed with a weapon.
To capture hi in by foree was difficult snd
dsngcrous, and 'o starve hira out would
be a tedious affair. The doctor did not
: hesitate long.
'Alfred/ said lie, 'go down into tlic
surgery, fill the largest syringe with
hartshorn, and bring it up.'
I caught the idea, rushed down and
brought back a ?juart syringe filled with
hartshorn, diluted?for I didn't want to
kill the man. Then the doctor, the carpenter,
nnd myself, formed an army o(

Then caiue the carpenter, with the syringe

The lunatic sat at the other end of the
hall on a chair, eyeing in keenly and savagely.
Slowly, very slowly, we advanced
