MR. C ^attorning the name
of Jones, some years since
purcnafed a small piece of land,
and„buik on it a neat house on the
edge bf a common in Wikihire ;
here he long redded, unknowing,
and almost unknown by the neigh
bourhood* Various conjectures
were formed refpefting this solita
ry and singular granger ; at length
a clergy mui took some notice of
him, and occafionaHy inviting him
to his house, he found him posses
sed of intelligence and manners,
which eyidenty indicated his ori
gin to have been in the higher Ra
tions of lifer Returning one day
from a visit at this clergyman’s,
he paflTed the house of a farmer,
at the door of which was the daugh
ter employed at the walking-tub.
He looked at the girl a moment,
and thus accosted her—“ My girl
—would you like to be married ?”
♦* Sir I” exclaimed the girl. •* I
asked you, young woman, whether
you would wilb to be married ?
because if you would,l will marry
you/** 1 Lord r Sir! thtfe are ft range
questions from a man I never lAw
in my life before.” “ Very likely”
replied Mr. Jones ; —“ but, how
ever, f am serious, and will leave
you till ten o’clock to morrow to
confider of k ; f will then call on
you again, and if I have you and
your father’s consent, we will be
married R>e following day.
He 4cept his appointment, and
meeting with the father, he thus
add re fled him : Sir £ have seen
your daughter; I Ihould like her
for a wife ; and £ am come to alk

Ah cease, fair Columbia, to mourn,

Foretells the renown of thy name.

sal, answered theold man^ is very
extraordinary from a perfect Rran
ger : pray, Sir, who are you ? and
what are you V “Sir,’* replied Mr.
Jones, “you have a great right io
ask these queßions: my name is
Jones: the new Houfeon the edge
of the common is mine, and if it
be necettary, I can purcbafe your
House and farm, and half the
neighbourhood.
Another hour’s conversation bro’c
all parties into one mind* and the
friendly clergyman aforementioned
united the happy pair. Three or
four years they lived in retirement
and were blessed with two chil
dren. Mr. Jones employed great
part of his time in improving his
wife’s mind, but never difeiofed
his own origin. At length, upon
taking a journey cf pleasure with
her, while remarking the beauties
of the country, he noticed and na
med thedfferent gentlemen’s feats
as they patted ; and coming to a
very magnificent one, “ this my
dear,” Lid he, “ is B— —’s house,
the feat of the earl of E. and if you
please, we will go in and ask leave
to look at it: it isan elegant house
and probably will amule you;
The Nobleman who pottetted
this mansion was lately dead ; he
once had a nephew, who, in the
gaitiesofhis youth, had incurred
feme debts, on account of which
he had retired from fafhionable
life on about 200k per annum,
and had not been heard of for
feme years. This nephew was
the identical Mr. Jones, the hero
of our Rory, who now took pottei
fion of the house, title and eßate,
and is the prelent Earl of E—.
