The young man died at the end of three days: the girl recovered, and was received as an inmate, with great kindness, in the family of Mrs. Johnson, the clergymanÕs wife. Her name was B˜o-ron; but from our mistake of pronunciation she acquired that of Ab-ar-˜o, by which she was generally known, and by which she will always be called in this work.
