the purpose Of procuring a housekeep-

Office in Chambers street, and was
soon furnished with tidy looking vi.
dow lady, aged about fifty nine. The
old man was very much pleased, paid
his " Intelligence fee" and conducted
his housekecper TO the "Rail Road
House," from whence he intended TO
embark for New Jersey. They were
shown into room at the inn, where the
old gentleman, calling for a pipe Of to.
bacco, seated himself on a sofa, and
began to caSt "sheep's eyes" at the
lady, who had taken her position on
chair nearly opposite to him.-After
remaining in "silent mood" for some
ten or fifteen minutes, the old man
earnestly remarked--"Val den tink
