Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1846-12-24

The following ludcrously amusing story is told
by the Boston Star, and, unless greatly mistake,
will be highly reli'hed by our young readers:
female Michiganian was sent to Massachusetts
few weeks ago by her parents TO be educated at
a boarding school near Boston Awkward, per.
verse, illiteTate, and very green, she at once
the aversion and butt Of the other girls. II hap
pened that lrequenter Of the boarding-school was
good looking Boston dentist of some pretentions,
who wished 10 get him rich wife from among the
pupils Aware Of his mercenary motives, and de-
termned to punish him, the young ladies led him
TO believe that their new classma,e from Michigan
was an heiress. This was enough for the handsome
dentist lie Immediately laid siege to the heart of
the Wolverine" and confding in the ignorance
OF etiquette, made her a present. among other
things, Of some money TO buy her bag with, mean
ing something OF the reticule order Highly de-
lighted with the liberaity Of the boss with the
store clothes on" she first called him, the girl
conIded the fact TO three or four of her new com.
panlons. Coffee bags had already become quite
fashionable for skirts and her companions reques-
ted her to procure one, 40 make her dress stick
out" as he was pretty smart HIMSELF and doubtless
desired his girl to appear few evenings
afterwards the dentist escorted the Wolverine to an
evening party, in which there was a fair represen.
taton from the boarding-school. Every thing went
on smoothly with him until his partner threw OF
her cloak and bonnet, and entered the room where
the company were assembled. Here his attention
attracted by the half suppressed tering Of the
school girls, and the wonder expressed in the eyes
of the others CHANGING inquisitively at his CON-
panion, who felt grand as Lucifer he NOR
tilted and enraged TO see her ague-marked COM
pexion set of in horrible contrast with profusion
Of green ribbon bow-knois on her head. while her
dress stuck out like the famous Scouting Horn at
Nahant. Mad as March hare, he soon left her
with an expression Of disgust, and passed the re.
mainder Of the evening at whist table in another
Of the suite OF rooms. The Michigan girl, who
was clear grit, was mad enough to tear the eyes
out Of her "truc hearted lover" but she was by
her con6dants persuaded not 10 do anything violent.
Their advice was that she should return his pres
ents, aud give him the SACK" or dismissal. Gre.
turn him the presents, and give him the sack, too p
said she. " bod rot him, I'll do it fore the hull
crowdH She went out, and in few moments
went into the room, where her companions were
gathered around the card tables expecting scene.
wonderful change had taken place in her dress,
and she was now straight up and down as
looms leg Advancing to the astonished dentist
with a queer-ooking bundle under her arm, she
threw down pencil, chain and locket on the Ia
bic, exclaming contemporary, There's your
presents, Mr., and there" continued the in
dignant Wolverine, unfolding the mysterious bun
die before the astonished company and throwing it
over the head Of the petrifed dentist" there 5
your old coffee bag-I won't wear il another min
ute"
Every body was convnlsed with laughter at this
new method of giving the sack" except the I'M
fortunate dentist. He sloped Immediately, and he
has not been seen in the village since.
