per says:
"A young lady appeared in our
streets, the sole occupant of a conspic.
uous seat upon load of wood, hav.
ing driven the team a distance of sew.
eral miles into the city without any
assistance. She sold her wood very
readily, and purchasing some family
necessaries, she threw them and her
self into the wagon with the agility of
an active young man, and pursued her
way home to the rapid measure of
"Pop Goes the Weasel" which she
whistled with masculine taste and

the novel calling not from necessity
(for her father has taxables to the

right.
