It was a cold, blustering night in December of the year 1826, and Daniel Gray stepped lightly down the snow- beaten path that led from the little faxmhouse across the lots to Dolly Kingsbury’s home. Daniel was from old, sturdy, historic English stock, and had reached an age where he was anxijous to begin life in earnest and emulate, if possi- TSOCIAL CORNER STORY A ROMANCE OF LONG AGO By Marigold except, occasionally, a tavérn, or “Publick house,” as it was then called, and these were where the overland stages changed horses and put up for the night. ? It did not take Daniel long to find the one parson in that vicinity, and after making known his business the knot was soon tied, the nominal fee of two sbillings( New York state) was burst. Keep right on writing. ~There 1is a great deal of pleasure in it. Dear Isabelle—-Did you ever knit a circle rug? They are very pretty. Use any colors that blend nicely together: cast on any number of stitches that can be divided by three. Knit across plac: and leave these on left-hand nee- dle until all have been knit, then take next color and do the same. I knit several when a girl for mammsa. The little pieces knit in the square rug make good doormats. The ends that stand up catch all the dirt. 3 Dear Ma—You had a fine chance to learn “Who is who?” One of my friends was in your town and Wwas talking with vou. If I had only known she was going, you may believe I would have sent a message to you. But like the fair I knew nothing abeut it until it was all over. To the busy, sick and those in affliction I will say: ble, the courage and bravery of his ancestors. He had planned it all out, night aft- er night, in his little room upSunder the rafters, when Aunt Jane thoughi he was “In’ the land of Nod,” and the nest move must be to consummate these plans.and lay them before Dolly for Ler approval or disapproval, as the case might be, Pe:hiaps she would not be wiling to walt until he could make himself a home, in what seemed to them @ far- off country, and termed as “out west.” He must settle the matter then and there, and if the answer was in the affirmative, he would immediately pack the little hair trunk and start upon his_journ Dolly Kingsbury was not as enthus- iastic over Daniel's project as he had hoped she might be, for she fully realized what such a venture meant in those days, especially in a part of the country that was sparsely settled paid, and the bride and groom, after a short rest, mounted their steéd and galloped away toward their home, which was to be in a little log cabin in_the wilderness. EverSthing had been put in readi- ness. so that upon their return from Utica they would go immediately to this humble abode and partake of i their first meal prepared by Cather- ine’s hands, which was to celebrate the one great event of their young lives. Think of it, readers—preparing a wedding supper by the light of a tal- low candle after a forty-mile ride on horsepack; and how many young wo- men of the present generation would be willing to begin marrled life in this |way? I do mot hear any one say, for one.” The months flew swiftly by and Daniel and his faithful wife worked diligently to increase their holdings; and when spring should come again, a EVERY WOMAN’S OPPORTUNITY. The Bulistin wants good home letters, good business letters; gond help- ful letters of any kind the mind may suggest. They should be in hand oy Wednesdar of each week. Write on but one side of the paper. Address, SOCIAL CORNER EDIT OR, Bulletin Office, Norwich, Comn. You are not forgotten by Leonard Bridge, READY. WHAT SARAH ANN THINKS. Editor Social Corner: I wish to in- vade the Corner for the purpose of ex- pressing my mind upon matrimonial arithmetic. I do not believe in two hearts beat- ing as one, or any of that poetical non- sense. KEvery heart beats according to the nervous energy back of it, and there is no compromise to this ki!\d ot energy. Nervous energy is individual, and of varying intensity. I have noticed love is not all suga but more like a sugar-coated pill, “L | which later discloses a bitter or nau- seating effect. I have never been able to fool myself about the real conditions in life. I take life as I find it, and have found it pretty comfortable, be- THE LIE THAT FLATTERS SHOULD BE ABHORRED MOST ‘The only Baking Pow\der made from Royal Grape (l'ream of Tartar—made from ), grapes THREE PRIZES MONTHLY: $250 to first; $1.50 to second; $1.00 to d.
