face, and l should judge was about thirty

bad weather, pants, and a long frock col
larless coat, closely buttoned up, whilst its
skirts hang in folds with the incest pre-
cision and taste. If bad weather, over
this coat she wears a capacious cape. On
her head she wears a gay cap, decked with
a plume. She has not a profound intel
lect; speaks ~fippantly; becomes elated
in conversing upon ordinary subjects, and
has more than an ordinary share of

is not tardy in expressing it. AT her
waist glisten a chain and sundry girlish
ornaments, and on her left breast she
wears a star medal on which is this in
scription; THE Congress TO DR.. Mary Z.
Walker Only this, and nothing more
