'PRICKER, IN REGARD 'I'O L.IGENSES

stopping hastened to the house, where he expected to rind
her, but to I when he entered, which was but a minute too
:ate, the ceremony being over with the other, when, awful

tribe, and which ended in'tjl - total dis ;o iili'ur e of the disap-

would not consent to bel with him, and in ,eel I aria not
sure if ,he has d
