And it is the latter who, oftener engaged in his matrimonial trade, generally smacks his dry lipsover the possession of purchased beau- ty in its youth and tenderness. The young heir of fortune is more transitory in his enjoy- ments, and looks only to matrimony as a re- trent for tired life in the future.

Approaching the sofa, he whizpored— “* My doarest Betsoy, tell me, ob! tell me, the object of your fondest affections.” The fair sleoper gave a faint sigh and re- sponded—* I love—let me think—(here you might have heard the beating of Jed’s heer! through a brick wall) [ love heaven, my coun- try, and baked but if I have one pas ve all others, it is for roast onions.”’ The indignant lover didn't wake her, but sloped ai once, & “ saddor, but not a wiser -’ At last accounts, Jed wes “shinning "’ to another young la been created, ef anciest or there fs not one that has been o utage to its founders as the Legion Honor.
