and sech nice things in all my born
days," said aunt Susan; "but Levi's wuth the whole on 'em. I know he'll
make you a good husband, and you'll make him a good wife;" and the old
lady planted a hearty smack on the cheek of each.
When Levi and Bessie returned from their bridal tour in Europe, in the
following spring, they took up their residence in the mansion of Mr.
Watson, on the Point. The Starry Flag and The Starry Flag, Jr., both
lie in sight of the house, and both of them are frequently used for
long and short trips. While Captain Fairfield--as he is generally
called--and his beautiful wife hope the day is far distant which will
make him a _millionnaire_, this event, in the course of nature, must
occur; yet is he richer now, in the possession of a noble character and
a true Christian spirit, than he can be made by any FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
