SoLoMoN BoG0s, Esq, as he was styled by
the neighboFs, who had special regard for his
ather's wealth; our Solomon as he was cal
led by his dOating parents Mr.. Boggs,' as he
ives spoken Of very respectfully by all the young
maidens; Sol, as be was familiarly named BY
his young friends, was the only son of wealthy
farmer, residing in one Of the back counties
upon the eastern shore Of Maryland. His father
was Jolly, good old soul, who's knowledge Of
the world was rather limited; in fact he was i'm.
pressed with the idea that the eastern shore Of
Maryland was the paradise of the world; and
though fumors occasionally were brought to his
ear of the Intentions Of Congress to annex the
shore to the United States, yet truth eompels me
to state, that the worthy mao was totally ignor-
ant Of the boundaries and situation Of that par.
tieular portion Of the globe Anewspaper would
have been great curiosity in that section,
where it was the lot Of BOggs seniOrto dwell.-

particular nice youLg man. freed from the vi
ses Of city life enjoying state of perfect innO-
