THE WIDOWER IN SEARCH OF A WlFE.—A',ctri
contemporary has been amusing his readers witt!,lo4'
cumstantial story of the adventures of a certain %ITO
living in a market town in the western division of potlr
cestershire, in search of a wife. It seems that 3g,;110
man advertised in a Bristol paper for a partner re'rtf!,

young people possessing a greater fund of mischief
of wit, they set a trap for the widower—not the or',
trick of making an appointment with him by a sat,
inamorata, but they determined that the appoieecof
should be kept, and accordingly a young woman--'ciere
not call her a'lady—who possessed more spirit thew",
nine delicacy, wrote to the widower, appointing!tir,
signation in Tyndall's-park, Bristol, at half-Ps',
o'clock at night. The parties who got up this sea 4
joke would appear to be persons of good educatiCio
whom better things might have been expected. i„ 01/
lowing extract from a letter concocted by the paro
sent to the widower, shows this : p

limits of modesty and female decorum which a lady CO%0;
