GAGE. _Therc is a great deal said in these. Jitter days about ‘ affinities ’ in the marriage relation; and about conge- niality and all that sort of thing. But does not nature alwayswork by contrasts i If there is any excess in one place, is there not sure to be a want in another? Extren es meet, and‘so they did when Bob Gray,'t_he easiest man in the town, paid his ad- dresses to Kitty Logan, the young school ina’am who had agreed to take the village school in the town- ship of Niles ; where the [big boys" always turned the master out of doors on Christmas, or treat. Bob Giay had a rich father, a hard working mother, and one proud sister,»and he could‘afford to- be lazy. Mr. Gray, tl'ieelder, came West in very early times, located near the town ‘of Niles, lived in a log cabin ten years, shook himself out of joint with the ague, ‘ wore it out’_ and never had it afterwards. But a poor man who had a large farm a mile from'Mr. Gray, could not wear it out; his wife died. his children suffered, he offered hisfarm very cheap, and/Gray bought him out, promisinir to pay sometime. A. vcar 9; so, afterwards, discour- agodkr‘ llZiS'Cl‘OPS and the inability to forhis new farm, he tried to i-suade 'the former, owner to take “it back, which he refused to doâ€"_â€"a law Suit ensued, and the matter end- ed by poor Gray being obliged - to keep the farm and pay the Costs; ,Terrible was the blow, hurtlic lived' V through it; and fiVe years afterwards when the; Ohio and Mississippi Railâ€" road passed throughrthe samefarin ant/liset up a station house exactly in he centre, he found himself a rich dean.
