THE SECOND MEETING.
Miss Eveleth requests the pleasure of Mr.Lindsay's company to meet a few friends on the evening of the Feast of St.Ambrose, December 7th, Wednesday.
THE PARSONAGE, December 6th.
It was the luckiest thing in the world.

They always made a little festival of that evening at the Rev.Ambrose Eveleth's, in honor of his canonized namesake, and because they liked to have a good time.

Oxbow Village seemed to be running over with its one extra young man,--as may be seen sometimes in larger villages, and even in cities of moderate dimensions.
Mr.William Murray Bradshaw had called on Clement the day after his arrival.
