Either in caspng her hrnds again or in an &C.

after the Of pair OF cymbal-, at tins

And did my nissis think-hc goodness DID

her under SO many trials. and understood her IA
tur' when them as intended well but acted rough,
vent So deep into her feelings-did she think a.

Did she think Migg. had no attachments Did

To none of these interrogatores, whereof every

did Mrs Warden answer one word but Mlggs,

as his aforesaid parents well knew, her best atiec-
rons were incorporated; that he would remind
! hem tina, nothing less than her imperious sense OF
dutv, and devoted attachment to her old master
and inissis likewise Miss Dolly and young Mr.
! Joe should ever have induced her 10 decline that
pressing invitation which they, his parents, had,
a. he could testify given her, to lodge and board
With them, free of all cost and charge, for ever
more lastly, that he would help her with her box
~ stairs and then repair strait home, bearing her
BLESSING and her strong nunctiOns TO mngie IN his
prayers supplication that he might IN conrse OF
lime grow up a ocksnith, Mr.. Joe, and have
Mrs. yardens, and Miss DolIys FOR his relations
and friends.
Having brought this admonition end. upon
which, to say the truth, the young gentleman tor
whose benefit it designed, bestowed, little or
40 heed having all appearance MS faculties ab-
,orbed in the contemplation OF the sweetmeats-
Miss Miggs signifed TO the company IN general
that they were not to be uneasy, for she would
soon return and, with her nephews aid, pre-
cared to bear her wardrobe up the staircase.

Miggs, hearing this, let her end OF the box tall
heavily to the floor, gave very loud sniff, crossed

and cried in an ascending SCALE "Ho, good graz

remarked the lock smith. You had better go,
tiink. Stay; take this with YOU for the sake o old
service.
Miss Mges cutched the bank-note he took from
his pocketbook, and held out 10 her deposited II
IN small, red leather purse; put the purse IN her
pocket, displaying, as she did so, considerable
portion of some undergarment, made OF flannel,
and more black cotton stocking than is commonly
seen in public y and, tossing her head, She looked
at Mrs. Warden, repeated,

With that she dropped a curtsey, and keeping
her head erect, her ear toward Mrs. Warden, and
her eye on the rest of The company as she alluded
To the n in her remarks, proceeded:
