they elevated their:feet and skirts, and
applying their perfumed handk erchiefs
to their noses, wondered if the Squire
was aware of the presence ofthat thing
on his steps.
The party progressed, and the rotton
egg was the subject of much remark.
Squire NJ heard, and felt jolly
over the success of his practical joke.
When rybody was chatting at the
table after supper, and not few of them
about the 'apparation" at the door, the
Squire arose, and uttering preliminary
"hem!" said,-

Everybody assented, some of the fe-
