finish the business. There were some people in
our village that never got over the wonder OF Il,
but am proud to say that the Dickson family
did not lose by me, for, ten years after, Mrs.
Williams died in her inn, and left her whole pro-
perty, in equal shares, between me and her
daughter, Lady Winstanley. She had never
gone to the Park but once, and then she would
neither eat drink nor sleep in the house, but
saw her daughter and her grandson, now heir Of
the estate, and then went straight back to the
Golden Sheaf She never took another girl to
stay with her; and what she said about my
leaving never learned, but the maids had
story among them, and they always stuck to it
that went on account Of something terrible,
which came down the chimney, and frightened
Mrs. Williams half out Of her senses. They
said one thing, however, which | am inclined to
think might be true-that she never liked to
make eel soup after, nor cared to look at red
pepper.

are kissing the hsndsOmest girls, will kiss an
equal number Of the handsomest young meni"
The distinguished candidate has not since re-
Ierred to this pleasing means Of popularity.
One Of the Republican canvassers tells bard
story of an incident which came under bis
notice during the campaign Just closed. He
proposed to speak in q strong Democratic pre-
cinct in the mountains; arriving at the place, he
found two men engaged in active and violent
discussion. One man was offering to bet 800
that St Louis is the capital Of the United
Statesl Another gave vent to his opinion as fol-
lows The people Of the North dissolve this

South will close the port Of New Orleans in .
