How Unreasonable In The Old Man!

Among the tenante on the Kentish estáte of Lord Brabourne was a fellow, Mace Morley by name, who was eightv-two years old, and for two generations had been loyally helping to support the great Brabourne family. But Morley got past doint: any more work, or the noble lord wánted the place for somebody else - any how, Mace Morley got notice to quit He was an unreasonable old fellow, and he declined to go. He said he'd been bom in that house, and he was resolved to die there. And he did die there; for when they carne to evict him he bolted the door and hanged himself by the neek. They broke into the house before he was quite dead, and would have put him out even then, but a kind physician who had been summoned gave a certifícate that he was "unfit to be moved," and they had to let him alone. So he died. They pet ahead of the landlord once in a wbile, these happy peasants of England, but it costa them dear to do it. - Standard.
