enamored of a nice young lady, the cherished

on Fifteenth street, between Wash and Carr

parent tenderly assured his son that he had
probably many years yet to live, and ought
wisely to prepare for long and prosperous
life. To this end he conceived that the period
of preparation for the lifelong battle for COM
potency and independence should not be
wasted 10 domestic endearments, and he
therefore felt it his duty to use his parental
authority in insisting that his son should re-
turn TO his native town, leaving for a few
years bis chosen, to learn a tradel The youth

He has therefore gone home to become a man,
a process which, if we mistake not, will be
completed in an unprecedentedly short period
