GiUe him the Bdg..--A young female Mich.
lganian was sent to Massachusetts, few
weeks ago by her parents TO be educated at
aboarding school near Boston. Awkward,
perverse, illiterate, and very green, she was
at once the aversion, and the butt Of the
other girls. Ii happened that irequen,er
OF the boarding school was good looking
Boston dentist, Of some pretensions, who
wished TO get him rich wife from among
the pupils. Aware Of his mercenary mo.
tives, and determined to punish him, the
young ladies led him TO believe, tina. their
new classmate from Michigan was an heir
ess. This was enough for the handsome
dentist. He Immediately laid siege OF the
heart Of the 'Wolverine,' and confding in
her ignorance Of etiquette, made her a pre-
sent, among other things, OF some money to
buy her bag with, meaning something of
the reticue order. Highly delighted with
the liberaity OF the "hoss with store clothes
on las she q, first called him,) the girl con-
fided the fact to three or four Of her new
companions. Coffee bags had already be-
come quite fashionable for skirts, and her
companions requested her to procure one,
'to make her dress stick GUS" as he was
pretty smart himself, and doubtless desired
This grl' to appear SO. A few evenings
afterwards, the dentist escorted the VOL.
VERNE TO an evening party, in which there
was fair representation from the boarding
school. Every thing went smooth with
him, until his partner threw off her cloak

CHANGING inquisitvely at his companion,
who felt as grand as Lucifer: he was NOR
titled and enraged TO see her ague- marked
complexion sci off in a horrible contrast
with prolusion OF green ribbon bow knots
on her head. while her dress stuck out like
the famous Spoutng Horn al Nahan,. Mad
as a March hare, he soon left he, with an
expression Of disgust, and passed the re-

another OF the suite Of rooms.
The Michigan gul, who was clear grit,
was mad enough to tear the eyes out OF her
"true hearted false lover" but she was by
her confidanls persuaded not to do any thing
violent. Their advice was that she should
return his presents. and "give him the SACK"
or dismissal. "Relurn hun the presents,
and give him the sack too!'' said sine; "Dod
rot him, Ill DO it, fore the hull crowd."-
She went out, and in a lew moments went
INTO the room, where her companions were

in her dress, and she was now straight up
and down as looms leg. Advancing to
the astonished dentist, with queer looking
bundle under her arm, she threw down o
pencil, chain, and locket on the table, ex-

the indignant Wolverine. unfolding the mys-
