Good folks draw near, and YOU shall hear
The courships Of our rich young heir,
Whose galantry and chivalry
The people talked of every. where.
And yet whose aimss mid Crpids fsness
Was getting of himself wife,
Whose kith and kin should aidihinr in
Expected brois and future strife

but his chief object ebt into such alliance pro-

And first our blade to Georgia, made
declaration of his love !;
And hoped his signs and fearful eyes,
Her kind and tender heart would moves,
But all the while rognish smile
Betrayed her purpose che spoke,
When 10 she said, saSr, ,IIa afraid
Your ardent fame must end in smoke"
lSpO@e She had heard bad report of her suitc and
concluded would be unsuitable match for, while she
Of domestic turn, and remarkable for her uniting

Where festive halls and brilliant halls
Dispeled al once his d;sconent;.
But though his friends wsud see his ends
Accomplished by the marriage rite
There yet were those who did not choose
In such a measure to unite"
Lseken The Major had several cousins living near Miss
Alabama, who put ia good word for him. whsnever they

Our hapess lad awhile was sad,
And kept his chamber for a week
Unal his kin came kindly 10,
And urged him still a wife to seek;
And even said buxom maid
Was whiting then to be his bride,
Whose rich domain, Of wood and plain,
Lay on the Mississippi side.
Spoken But ali the stories Of his late rebuf 90, there
before him. Besides it was said by some that be was
about getting commission in British troop, whls others
whsped he was about going into the smuggling business
Withoa however, inquns whether her designed to
be trooper or smuggsr, the spirited Mississippi showed
him me door. Sing tddery l. Sing tiddery L dol
With heart depressed, and ref Of rest,
The Major remains at hone
Nor fate, nor friend, think can send
| The BLUypToN again to rosu-
| Indeed It's said the naughty blade
Would almost be reconciled
i In wedock's band to take the hand
| Of any honest neighbours child.
[Spohen. But the neighbours children viii have nothing
to say to him, partly account Of ,he family feud he nsa
taes, and partly of his former rudeness. He
looked conempuously on Miss Florida in the hey-day Of
bis greatness and seemed to think she beneath his
iics Miss Raleigh (whem hs nicknamed Miss Fan WIN
ke) destitute Of intellect no thought. Miss Virginia
was be sure, ga good Of girl and Of respectable
family, but whatever mgha be said Of them times gone BY,
they wanted pasrissism Yea, they absolutely skunk
back like cowards. And now, between insults received
and insults given, between false pride and foolish projects
the Major destined remain bachelor for
will enter into alliance with him. Sing uddery l. Sing
