twelve or fifteen young gents cozily seated in q
room not far from School street, who were puff

topics Of the day. Among the crowd you could
have seen the sOld UNI and "Charley Levi, ("
and other honorary members OF the "Nibblers

joining in with the party, and laughing at the
dry jokes which were cracked and passed
around, "Tam' sat in moody silence. In vain
did his companions endeavor to cheer him up
by pouring spirits down; !; not smile could they
bring upon his countenance.

two or three days previous on a visit to her
friends in Philadelphia; and he, poor fellow,

| married this five-and-twenty years, and the
honeymoon must be over quoth another. And
thus they jested and talked, while "Tamh sat
listening to them, yet he opened not his mouth.

entered. "Ten to one, cried Dooley, 81 can
