The Philadelphia North American has
looked into the oilicia! figures Tor Sc

A lew evenings since he visited young

and, being attracted by her worthy mother
with long discourse on sewing societies,

profound nap The guod old lady pressed
on, but fina ly saw the true state of affairs,
and concluded to withdraw for the night

him. Where Was he! wha. could he do !

He tried to calm her, but only increased
her terror, and uniucklly awoke an eide r

nastics that would have made her fortune as
a prima donna. Both started from their
couch, and the younger lady sought protec-
