WANT OF EXCITEMENT, OR A
TRIP TO LONDON. n
BY THE AUTHOR or "a rRIr TO PARIS"
TRAvrLLrNo is certainly the most pleas
ant and profitable way OF spending our
time III the world. II makes folks %
wise, and enables them to tell 20 many
good stories. People that have nothing
TO do ut home, and most especially young
ladies' who have been fve orssix seasons
weather r-beating at parties, and whose
Aces are becoming rather too familiar by
constant use, cannot do better than rcgen-
crate themselves by q trip to London or
Paris, where they will acquire a new
gloss, and ifthey bring home nothing clae,
import the very newest fashions. 1fthey
are very rich, who knows whether they
may not marry the second or third cousin

Julia Earle was the only daughter Of
q rich broker-we beg pardon-banker,
in certain great city, IN which Esop
would not have required lantern to ena-
bic him to find at teast two honest men,
Bankers rule the world, at least the most
enlightened, wise, and virtuous portion of
il, called christendom. There il not
king, by divine right, in all Europe that
can make war, give a great feast, or pcr-
ton Off a younger branch Of the family
without the aid Of banker. Nay, bank
ers are actually becoming statesmen,
which certainly is vast Improvement Of
the age, since, by being in all the secrets
government, they can speculatet to great
advantage in the stocks. No wonder,
therefore, that Mr.. Earle held his head
high, and his pretty daughter still higher.
There was nobody, that is, none Of the
cits Of the honest city in which they re-
sided, worthy Of their attention, except
merely 90 far MS to be invited sometimes
to. parties, to admire the magni6cence Of
Mr.. Earle. BY the time she was grown
up to be woman, Julia had become tir-
ed ef all the city beaux, because they
had not the air noble; and ofall the pleas
ures Of the city, because-because she
had tasted too much Of them--and. every
bodS Knows, chat too much of I good
thing is good for nothing.
"Pa," said she one morning, after be-
ing at party till three o'clock, and eating
picked oysters, pa, don't feel we'll"
The old gentleman was alarmed-it was
his only daughter. 81 esf 2el

"Then take walk in Broadway--'tis
/ delightful morning"
81 hate walking in Broadway, it's so
,ulgar--every body walks there now"
"Take an amusing book, then, and
shile away the time"
(" I'm tired Of famosing books-but--but
III try-" and she took up the first vol
me Of the Watch Witch; but, alas! she
ell asleep ere she got through the ad-
ress Of Alderman Van Beverout TO his

She was awakened by a servant an

oh, who always carrieda monkey with q
old chain under his arm, given himsby
,e duchess Of Devonshirc. He was Just
'om London, and talked so much oflords, Il
,dies, and all that sort Of thing, that Ju- I
a was miserable to be among such a
eautilul, polished, enlightened people, all ,
whom had the air noble to a certainty. II
When the old gentleman came home !
'cm heoping up pennies, and shaving all L
he morning in the service Of the divinity L
