WANT1JD TO MARliY.

C., I came upon a humble cabin in which resided tho Widow IVatkins and her three children, the oldest being a boy of lo and tho youngest a girl of 5. I had hoard of tho widow while ten miles away.

"Yes," "From the ntr'th." "Yes." "Come to see ma?" "Yen I'll stop for dinner." "Glad on't. Gwine to hev' chicken.
