Mr. Sponge was punctual. He greeted
me with his accustomed cordially, and
volunteered me some information as to the
best mode Of holding my weapon. He
then took his place and, at the word,
gracefully raised the pistol i had loaned
him, and put bullet through my right
shoulder. ~ =
That very day Mr.. Sponge and Arabella
were married
After their wedding tour, they set up
an elegant establishment near Fifth
Avenue. Their carriage attracts admiring
glances on Broadway, and their enter
tainnaents are the delight of fashionable
set. ss,.
Their door was at first besieged by q
host o.eMr. Sponge's creditors, comprising
nearly every fashionable tailor, boot
maker, a;c., in town, a number Of confding
landladies, and a mob of gentleman who,
like myself, had been honored with his
friendship, and retained as souvenirs his

He was able serenely to defy this
malicious persecution and the threatened
terrors Of the law, every appurtenanoe Of
the Sponge establishments being the
inalienable property of it's feminine head.
Some envious people wonder how the
Sponges make such q figure on a capital
OF only fifty thousand. The careful reader
Of the foregoing will not be at loss for .
