Without waiting to hear more, Mr.
p. seized his hat, aud hurried off home
at "a most undigDifcd pace
Opening the hall door, he stole up
stairs as carefully as possible, and apply

Mrs. Pepper was sitting in front of
the fireplace, reading his love-letters

Pepper ; but more dashng lover ap-
praring on the scene, Miss Polly sent
him letter of dismissal, promising her
undying friendship, and accompanying
the same with lock of her hair, and
some walnut meats.

had been something Of IA traveller in his
day, and had collected great many
curiosities in his ramblrs, which he had
deposited in a cupboard in the very room
where he had confined Mrs. = and she

She had split up an elegant writing

to have fire, as the day was rather
chilly. In one corner of the fire place
was Mr.. P.'s best beaver, flied up with
love-letters.

was beautiful fat China dish, filled
with bears oil, in which she had sunk
Mr. p.'s best satin cravst, and having
fred one end OF it, it afforded her suth-

On some Goals in e q the tre,
