Oh. welll I tuppose it ia really nothing

what worriet me ii tb.t I bave nothing

it's of tbe best of broadcloth and make,
for I bought it when dollars were plentier

and let us see bow it fits.
Poor Alfl How was he to disappoint
this simple heart tbat had parted for bim
with one of bis dearett possessions? Tbe
delight of grandfather's kind old f.oe was
touching to see.
I btd kinder expected to wear it mytelf,
taid tbe old gentleman, so as to honor you
a little; but I can honor you better by let-
ling you wear it. I ttudiad out this ques
tion of your dress some days ago, but oon-
oluded to surprise you at tbe last micuie.
Let us see if it will fit you.
How wis Alf to say he would pi oft r to

times as shabby? He knew tbe proposed
auit would fit passably, for be was now as
