more particularly as his attentions were so dslnter-

unmixed with sordd motives when addressed to the
shrine of beauty, on whose altar twenty thousand
dollars were displayed.
Not long ago, the modern Narcssus went to an

pair of fashionable pantaloons as he was cursed
with taste for dress, and imagined that no heart,
even worth $50 600, could resist the triple attractions
Of fine speeches. fine poetry, and fine clothes.
He had, however, another sure card, IN volume OF
poems, or prose romances of American History,
which he told every body the Harpers were going TO
publish and for which he receive $1,000 sum
larger by half than Smms, Ingraham, Fay or any of
