PROVIDENCE WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 24 1927

| Ball with his presence, for in q country town.
a schoomaster is a somewhat more di. .nified
parsonage than from the treatment one re-
ceives in city, would be supposed-ho is no
less than the third parsonage in the commu-
nity-frst we reckon the minister, then tho
parish clerk, and then follows the school,
master.
My mother, who had anxiously been on the
look out for +" good match" for me, as she
termed it, now thought her time was at hand
to become mother-in-law to Timothy Plummet,
Esq. as he was called, and accordingly shc
ordered me to get myself ready, to attend the
Ball that evening.
Imagination is better than words TO describe
my Joy on this occasion, kissed her over and
over again, till she petulanty told me to get
10 my room and dress And now, imagine mo
at my toilet had every thing, but could fix
upon nothing. One gown was too gay, another
was too plain, and a third was rumplcd. At
! length chose one which thought would ans
wer; it was pnk-red satin but on appear
| ing before my mother, she bade me take it
| Immediately oil, and put on my white houncer.
Fancy me now in the eball-room.-Eyery one
| was inquiring "who is she 20 and not until my
mother had satisfied their intcrrogator es was
allowed to be seated. The dancing began,
and as mama had planned, Mr.. Plummct led
me up the first dance Nv made out know
not; was sensible Of nothing else but that my
eyes were fixed upon the floor, and although
my partner said many fine things to me, yet
they were all disregarded. After the coiillion
| was ended,m mother scolded me for appearing
so gG,oky, and threatened, that unless acted
different, l should never go out again. With
this ringing in my ears, attempted to make
myself familiar, but was only partially sue
cessful.
At last, the ball broke up, and was waited
upon home by the schOolmaser, much to the
satisfac cton Of mama, who now looked upon
the match certain, and oven yentured that
evening to promise several Of the ladies at the
party, an invitation to the wedding.
Mr.. Plummet was now constant visitor at
our house, and attended me on all occasional
excursions, but still he made no mention Of
love. This was a sad alloy to the happiness
of her, who had been at all the pains to intro
duco together pair formed by Heaven for one
another; but on hearing him ono day discourse
on the pleasures Of ma;rimony, she no longer
doubted that he Immediately would declare
hmself-and determined TO write to q friend
of hers who lived in the town he came from,
and inquire concerning his fortune and stand
ing in life. From hlm, she learned that he
was man of tolerable fortune, honest and in
dustrious, but had "wITE AND THREE
CHILDREN" CLARA.

MORE PRocLAMATIoNs. The gentleman
who is in the habit of issuing proclamaiions
and bulletins from tho house top, rose, as we
understand, from his bed, last Thursday night,
at the dismal hour Of one, and taking his sta
ton on the new Bridge, near the fish market,
thus proclaimed to the world.
"Hcar ye! hear ye hear ye. ye nations Of

and ye bondmen, ye maid-seryants and ye

And when he had said all Of these things,
he was exceedingly well pleased, and went his
way rejoicing, aud "tho night bird scrc. med.

We assure the author of the Bucket, Mr.. Wood
worth, that wo would be the last TO do him
any Injustice that we would neither take from
him his leritical or literary god; and that We
are far from being disposed to assist in ''blight-
ing tho only fresh leaf on his little sprig.'-
For our offence, we plead Ignorance, and at
sure Mr.. Woodwork that We are not among tho
least Of the admirers Of his poctical genius
though we must frankly confess, that we have
not admired all he has written. We shall ever
take pleasure in doing justice to his acknowl-
edged merits, and in lending him our aid, if Il
is requested, to assist him in furthering his lau-
dablo enterprises:
We had written thus far. when New-York
friend, handed us through the medium Of the
pos'-ofiice the following extract, from the Par

Mr.. Woodwork, and which we commend IN

We have always been under the impression,
that the latter was purely original, both in

pcared, sinco its first publication in 1917; but
cannot conceive how that circumstances can

en- knows, that he has tasted too often of the
cup Of human suffering, to be assailed through
sheer wantonness. In conclusion, we have to
add, that if any injury has been done by us 10
the fame Of a meritorious individual, It has
been unintentionally done; and we close, with
expressing a hope. that Mr.. Woodwork, will

garblcd an article Of ours, and appended to IT,.
an extract from the New-York Morning Cou-

prove, that when wo spoke Of the hoad Of an
