End incur Eastern exchanges several
extracts, which are bo'h amusing and

committed extensive depredations. He
was at length detected. and has lately

genee of his situation would oYerpower
her. " She is in feeble health al most"

the note was sent to the lsdy's room. IL
read as follews:

The lady soon made her appearance.
She was young. rather prepossessing,
and evidently in delicate health. Finding

me- expressing great surprise that her
husband had sent request SO unusual /
