Ten o'clock! and no tlclngs o. the lost

leaped lierceIy towards the intruder.
'Who lhe devil are you, Siri' was
the courteous Interrogation.
'lour daughter's husband was the
effective and laconic reply.
Had Old Logical, like the inhabitants
OF the tabled city, been pet:ified on the
spot, he could not have been rendered
more completely motionless than he be-
came at the receipt of this intelligence
He stood Ike a statue, with eyes fixed
and avs distended. Julia went softly

close to his, whispered-' Dear father, ]

been convinced that None but the brave

FROM 3WHIM wHAMs."
THE FORTUNETELLER.

I think Mr.. Solomon Logical, was the
most irascible little old man that ever
worsted his antagonist in an argument,
or failing to convince and con(ute,
knocked him down by way Of coming to
a conclusion. He was a short, pursy
gentleman Of sixty, who had married
late in life, TO have, as he always said,
some one TO make gruels and toast
cheese for him in his declining years
AS specimen of diminutive obesity, Mr..
Logical might claim the first rank among
his contemporaries. His figure had a
most striking resemblance to the Dutch
nut-crackcrs | have seen at the toy
shops; and, perhaps the comparison
might bo extended with equal justice to
his countenance, which was blown up in
his thunder gusts, until it assumed the
redness and roundty which pe%lains to
the mechanical figures before mention
ed.
The family Of this gentleman consist
ed of his wife, daughter of,he delight
full age of sixteen, and two little sons,
who had numbered, the one five, and
the other six summers. -Four children
had passed before him to the grave. l
do give it as my positive and unaterabe
opinion, that julia Logical was the
most fascinating creature that ever shat
tered a heart or a rosebud | will not
do her SO much injustice as to attempt a
description; but if any of my readers
would behold a being bearing little re-
semblance to her, let him close his
eyes, dream Of one Of Tom Moore's
Peris, and he will be satisfied.
On this daughter, on his pipe, and on
an argument, Old Logical dotted with
childish fondness. The GIRL he used
to say, is good girl: a good girl de-
serves good husband; and d-n me if
she shan't have one. She is worth fifty
thousand dollars on her wedding day.
which she shall never see until fellow
presents himself who can smoke, pro-
duce his fifty, and maintain an argu-
ment. l know what husband ought to
be.
After an exclamation like this, the old
gentleman would puff and simmer like a
roasting apple, and finally spu'ter him
self into great rage; simply because no
one vcntured to dispute his plans, and
argue with him on the subject nearest his
heart This, no person Of his own house,
hold would venture to do, preferring
minor ebullition of spleen (which would
attend the neglect, to the tremendous
eynlosinn which was SIRE IN foIlow tho
display Of any opposition to his will. In
fact, Old Logical was one ofthose testy
lcgcians, who are never satisfied will,
victory or defeat, opposition or submis-
sion.
