Attachment RecinrOcal,

The following capital story is told of an Al
ALBANIA sheriff and pretty widow:
"Cour was in session, and amid the multi
plicily of business which crowded upon him at
term lime, he stopped at the door Of u beautiful
widow, on the sunny side Of thirty, who by The
way, had often bestowed melting gances upon
the sheriff aforesaid. He was admiued, and
soon the widow appeared. The confusion and
delight which the arrival Of the visitor had oc-
casoned, set off 10 greater advantage than usual
the captivating charms Of the widow NJ. Her
checks bore the beautiful blended tinls Of the
apple blossom; her lips resem0led rosebuds. up
on which the morning dew yet fingered, her
eyes were like the quivors Of Cupid, the CLAN
ces of love and tenderness with which they
were filled resembling arrows that only wanted
a fine beau (purdon The pun) to do full execu'
lion. After few common place remarks
"Madam," said the mauer-ol.lact sheriff, 81
have an attachment for YOU"
A deeper blush than usual mantled the cheeks
of the fair widow. With dOwncasI eyes, whose
glances were centered upon her beautiful foot,
half concealed by the flowing drapery, gently
palting the floor, she, with equal candor, re-
piled.
"Sir, the attachment is reciprocal"
For some time the sheriff maintained an as
tonished silence; at last he said
"Madum, will you proceed 10 courtl,'
proceed TO cour!" replied the lady, with a
merry laugh then shaking her beautiful head,
she added, mo, Sir! though this is leap year,
will not take advantage Of the license therein
granted to my sex, and therefore greatly perier
that you should proceed to cour!'"
But, madam, the justice is wa,ing!"
"LeI him wait, | am not disposed to hurry
matters in such an unbecomlng manner; and
besides. sir, when the ceremony is performed,
wish you to understand that prefer a minister
to Justice of the peace"
"Madam," said he, rising from his chair with
solemn dignity, "there is a great mistake here
Ny language has been misunderstood. Th'
attachment Of which speak was issued from ,h'
office Of Esquire c.; and commands me- Il
bring you instantly before him, TO answer a con
tempt Of court IN disobeyng u subpoena in 1h
case of Smith VS.. jones'"
