the Internal regions. His sister, Ceres,
ne appointed lady patroness OF the ag-
ricultural interest. These arrange
ments, and some Others, having been
completed, it occurred to him that his
own blessedness, which had hitherto
been single, might be advantageously
doubled. He had anothersister, Juno,
or. to speak more respectfully; Miss
Juno, whose beauty was SO striking
that it would have knocked you down;
and for whom, considering that her
face was her fortune, he had made no
special provision. OF her he became
nassionately enamoured; out her bo-
som was ali ice, and the difficulty wa:

The case of Jupiter was like that of
the Russian, who ices to warm his frost
bitten nose. And Juno's resembled
tina, of the frozen liquid; for she melt
ed with pity: from which, by an easy
transition, she modulated into the
warmer sentiment. The marriage was
celebrated, without delay, with the
most imposing pageantry and splendor,
for which the Olympic machinery at
forded great facilities. Cards were IS
sued to all the gods, to mankind, and
to the brutes; which last, with the ex-
ception of the Ass (who admired the
parade) made fun of the whole affair;
for which piece of impertinence they
were condemned to be sacrificed.
Fer time Jupiter and Juno lived
in the undis,urbed enjoyment OF do
nestle bliss. An event, however,
shortly occurred which proved, SUBJ
seouently, the source of various mu-
tual disagreements; rather funny, per-
haps, but to the feeling heart very
painful to think upon.
The immortals, whose numbers Juno
had considerably increased; were re-
clining one dayupon their easy thrones,
slipping nectar and smoking cheroots.

contain himself, he uttered an inartlcu-
late sound expressive of delight, as Mr..
Farren does in Sir Peter Teazie, and
convusively poked her with his fore
finger in the waist. ''Have done! you
teaze." she cried, but evidently as
pleased as Punch; whereupon Jupiter
did what he was told 10 do. again, and
gave her kiss into the bargain.
