credit upon them as impartial ana non

a certain class of people out of office,

ever read of. 1t not only deprives the
newspaper from receiving any patronage
of this pature that friends may wish to

adjoining one in which a lady, for whom
he had conceived sudden and violent
passion, and was desirous of entering into

not suiting formal declaration, the
exigency of the case suggested the follow

neighbor bible, open, with a pin stuck
IN the following text (Second Epistle of
John, fifth vorse:) "And now l beseech
. thee lady, not as though l wrote a new
commandment unto thee, but that which
we had from the beginning, that we love
one another" She returned it pointing
to the second chapter of Ruth, verse tenth:
"Thcn she fell on her face, and bowed
herself to the ground, and said unto him
why have l found grace in thine eyes
that thou shoudst take knowledge of me
seeing chat am stranger" He return
ed the book pointing to the thirteenth
verse of the Third Epistle of John: CLAY
ing many things to write unto you,
would not write with paper and ink, but
trust 10 come unto you, and speak face t
