THERE resides in this city an old gentle
man, merchant, who has an only daughter,
possessed of the highest attractions-moral
personal, and pecuniary. She was engaged

as herself. They were all in all to each

and which, it was limited darkly, had been
embroidered by the fair hand of the heiress
in question. He added, in conclusion, that
it would be time enough for him to be
schooled when they were married and that
he thought she had adopted a certain portion
of male attire "a little too soon." After
supper, both the lovers had become more
cool iced champagne and cold chicken had
done their work and leave was taken by
the bridegroom IN poSsee, in kindly and
affectiOnate, if not in such enthusiastic terms,
as had previously terminated their meetings
On the next morning, the swain thought
with some remorse on the angry feeling he
had exhibited, and on the cutting sarcasm
with which he had given it vent and as
part of the amende honorable, packed up with
great care magnificent satin dress, which
he had previously bespoken for his beloved,
and which had been sent home to him in the
interval, and transmitted it to the lady, with
a note to the following effect: Dearest
-: | have been unable to close my
eyes all night, in consequence of thinking OF
our foolish misunderstanding last evening.
PRAY. pardon me and, in token of your
forgiveness. deign to accept the accompany

note, he gave it to boy to deliver. But, as
a pair of unmentionables wanted repairing
he sent them to the tailor by the same mes
senger. The inevitable contrefemps the
reader will at once anticipate. Yes, the boy
made fatal blunder he left the satin dress
with the tailor, and the note, together with
the dilapidated habiliment. at the residence
of the lady. Her Indignation was neither to
be described nor appeased. So exasperated
was she at what she considered a determined
but deliberate affront, that, when her admirer
called, she ordered the door to be closed in
his face, refused to listen to any explanation
and resoutely broke off the match. Before
many weeks had elapsed, means were found
to make her acquainted with the history OF
the Objectionable present but she neverthe

The General Homestead Act provides that
no property shall be deemed homestead,

tion, unless a declaration that the land is
claimed as a homestead has been filed for
record and the Probate Law provides that
after the death of man leaving widow or
child, the Probate Court, 81 if there is no law

set apart for the use of the heirs certain per.

statute exempting property from execution.
