During this- long period of time, assisted by the pimrdlajrH and by a smalj fund at her dis posal, she maintained herself by needle and fancy work. During thirteen years and upward, I my self knew her in this condition, and never saw her off her bed. In the meanwhile, Thomas Griggs -waited patiently for"the recovery of Elizabeth; - but In- WIS, desnairinjr of-thisr ho led another yonng worn A n toElirahpth's txlxlih', and rm-lvHl4 from her full perthHslon to vmarry this fresh acquaintance. Thomas forthwith married, but after five years of wedded life he became ami re- eJUow Elizabeth Goodvear. restored to health, walked Into the parish church of Moulton, and was duly married oy me to her old sweetheart. I cannot explain the nature of her prostration, nor her won derful recovery; but I do know this: that. a few months back she became conscious of a slight re turn of streiifrth ; that from feeble eirorts to leave her bed and struggle across the room she gained Iower lo pass her door: that the old subject of matrimony was revived by Thomas Griggs; that Elizabeth was willing; that banns were pub lished; and that she Is now the wife of .her early and only love."
