My husband made friends wherever he went," interrupted the little woman. "Glad! glad!" resumed Topman, "so am I. God bless him, wherever he goes!

Mr.

None of my rough but kind nurses expected I could have held on till nightfall; but shortly after sunset I became more collected, and, as I was afterwards told, whenever any little office was performed for me, whenever some drink was held to my lips, I would say to the gruff sunburnt, black whiskered, square shouldered topman who might be my Ganymede for the occasion, "Thank you, Mary; Heaven bless your pale face, Mary; bless you, bless you!"

"Den if he pe so grand, why you don't make all de fortune, and keep him yourshelf?" said Hanz, rubbing his head and dropping his pipe. "Having the secret," resumed Mr. Topman, blandly, "of course you are indispensable to the success of the enterprise.

Two days before the sheriff of the county had seriously disturbed the peace of Hanz's little house by walking in and making service of a legal document of immense length Topman and Gusher vs. Hanz Toodleburg and in which the names were recapitulated so many times, and in so many different ways, as to bewilder Hanz's mind and send him into a state of deep distress.

After he passed the middle of the ascent, his weight, added to that of the men above, made the much-spliced main ladder bow and sway.
