Garfield. was then also a a young fellow and coutted the other sister. The Wise pa"rents also broke’that ap ‘because he was ‘nothing but a teacher.” Two of them, as ‘the astéry goes, have ‘missed catching Presidents; more of them, in accepting the apparently no acconat, have apparently come to wantand sorrow. The story must mean that‘a young fady should marry the fellow who comes along -and is poor and is apparently no account.

She should marry him because some tlay he “tay bedome Presitient of the United States, Therefore, the logical conc'usion is, the apparently no account fellow should be snapped up whenever ‘he makes ap offer } mountains and ‘to’ towns in the dower . fer of maftiaye to young lady.
