." IT IS AN Ill WIND, &c."-So we were
thinking about noon of last Thursday,
while on an expedition for g items," saun-
tering gawkily along, pencil in hand and
paper in pocket; after wearisome walk
we took turn homeward without having
accomplished anything; but as we dropped
on our rudely constructed seat domestic
MANUFACTURED the balmy zephyr !. that fit
fully blew DER the towering steep,' courted
pleasantly our feyerish cheek, and leaning
toward the window to listen to its whis-
perings and have an oblique view of what
transpired in the street, we lazily grasped
bundle of manuscript which had been
laid upon the table for perusal, during our
absence. A casual glance at the pages
was sufficient to satisfy us that the writer
possessed considerable talent SO we con-
tinued reading to the end. Then, putting
it carefully aside, says we to ourself that
will answer very well, with but slight
alteration, for the outside next week. The
