to find the dead body, Paddy was found
alive, however, only somewhat bruised,
and taken to Norwich Here the con-
ductor kindly offered. send the man to.
his home, q few miles away, in hack,
but Paddy insisted upon his ability to

THE LADY's REPLY.

TAE LhU1 NH2 -
Yes. I viii live on cottage rolls,
With love, and joy, and thee;
My heart will seek no other tliss'
Than thy own bride to bo;
For well we know, that all we breathe'
For joy must pay some tolls
So + with thee, my only love,
Wit eat our cottage rolls.
Oh, yes! III sup on turnip tops,
Aud dresses from the spring;
And from our cot to gaudy scenes
Ny heurt viii no'er take wing.
No balls nor routs, will tempt me then,
Nor fancy drepers' Shops.
But all on love and sishs we'll livs'
And suile on turnip tops.

And crosses from the brooke

Of balls and diapers shops!
Wilt thou q cheerful smiie put on,
And sup on turnip tops!
