Nesu sm"!t giri ' said one gentlemaD,--
She's a ticker. l warrant her = said a
second. She's pirate, by thunder =
roared Capt. Hallaird.
In the meanwhile, the. new married
pair were pursuing their journey by easy
stages towards the city Of New York.
We all know, 'how the best charms of
nature improve, when we see them re-
fected, and SD on, and we can readily
imagine 'how happily the days Of Thai.
aba pass by on this occasion. Uninter-
rupted by ceremonious visits, unrestrain-
ed by the presence of third parties-sur-
rounded by all the Establishments which
give eDchantment to the rural scene, it is
not surprising thar our lovers should Of
ten digress from the beaten road, and as
often linger at a aromantic spot, or a se-
cluded cottage.
Several days had now elapsed, and nei.
ther parry had made any disclosures to
the other upon the important subject of
finance. As they were drawing near the
end OF their journey. the Major thought it
advisable to broach this delicate matter to
his bride. II was upon fine summer
evening, as they sat by wind ,w, Mt an
Inn, enjoying the beauties ofan extensive
landscape that this memorable conyersa-
ton occurred. They had been amusing
themselves With that kind of small talk
Which new married folks find SO vastly
pleasant as how much they love one an
other and how happy they intend to be,
end what fine thing it is for two fond
,earts to be dissolved and melted down
INTO one, &c. Many examples of love
md murder were reLited-the lady told
sfseveral distressed swains who had in
eonsinently hanged themselves for their
nistresses. and the gentleman as often
asservated that not one ofthose martyred
lovers adored the object of his passion,
with halfthe fervor which he felt for his
o,0", dear, s,ccet, darling, precious, little
Anne! At last, thr owing his arm over
his wlfe's chair, he said carelessly. g.I
