The way to get Husbands.

The following, which IL from an English pa
per, we cannot commend to ladies who are in
haste TO get married. Better live in a state of
single and melancholy blesscdness than acquire
husband by such a fraud Y
:" A gentleman of the bar in a neighboring
county, In easy circumstances and pretty good prac-
tie, had rendered himself somewhat remarkable
by his matrimonial speculation A maiden rather
advanced IN years, residing some miles distant in
the ncighborbood, hearing of this lawyers specu-
lating propensity, that his character unexcep
tonabo, and his situation in life was toleraby good
resolved upon making him her husband. She hit
upon the following cxpedient: She pretended sud
denly to be taken very ILL., and sent for the man Of
the law to prepare her WILL He attended for that
purpose. BY her win she devised fl0, 200 in bank
etock to be divided between her three cousins,
some thousands in bonds and notes to a niece and
vastlanded estate to a fhvorte nephew. The will
being finished, she gave her lawyer very liberal
Fee and enjoined secrecy upon him for some pre-
tended purpose, thus precluding him from any in
qairy into her real circumstances. Need mention
the result? In fortnight the lady thought proper
TO be restored to health. The lawyer called to
congratulate her on her restoration--begged per-
mission to visit her, which was politely given. AT
ter a short courtship, the desired offer was made
The bargain was concluded, and ratified BY the
priest. The lawyers whole estate by his wife con-
