A PerseYering Lover.


A story, which gossips scatter everywhere,
is the most striking instance Of the truth of
the old saw Faint heart never won fair
lady which | ever remember to have heard.
A lady, now widow out of mournlng-the
halcyon era of womans life, alas how few
are lucky enough 10 attain such good fortune
has more beauty than fortune--although
she is so far above want as to be called inde
pendent-and, unfortunately, good deal of
her estate is menanced by pending lawsuit,
which cannot add to her competency, but
may straighten her circumstances if it is de-
cided against her. With wisdom rarely
found out of serpent's or widows head,
she practises constantly strict economy, to
amass a sum sufficient to enable her to bear
an adverse decision of the court with equa-
nimity. She took advantage of the Exhibi-
ton to let her apartments. They at once
found tenant, who took them for two
months, the longest period for which she
she spent with friend in the country, and
they are the longest period her business in.

She came here early in July; but the gen

had refused great many other good offers.
Widowhood is so pleasant! He received a
notice to quit but in few days afterwards

In literary circles there is much talk of
eStaOiishlng weekly perlOdlcai, win cap
ital of forty thousand dollars, and talent,
in every department, of the first rate, in
T Boston. Such journal is much needed in
New Eng and there is no doubt that it
it were issued and conducted with real abii-
ty it would be successful. There is not a
paper in Boston--dstinguished as the city is
for learning and wt--devoted exclusively to
:. literature and art; and this is reproach to
the character of the community which mas
long been felt by scholars and men Of taste,
; There is no reason why our city should not
send forth weekly journal equal in talent to
| any printed in London, Edinburg or Dublin.
