a feminine hand, very elegantly composed,
and the chirography OF the most modern Spen-

substantially that the personal appearance of
the gentleman so addressed had so favorably
impressed the writer "a LADY, that an acquaint-
ance with him would afford her infinite de-
light, and at the same time appointing a rem
devious. II each instance the notes closed
as follows: @ | trust, my dear sir, that you
will not ascribe any but the most honorable
motives to my seemingly immodest request,

friends, | am at loss to know how, other
wise, the end Of my desire can be brought
about" The rendezvous were all
appointed for the northern part of the city,
il the vicinity of one Of Carsoq's most fash

subsequently turned out-an Of the engage

about 3 O'Clock P. ~, on Christmas day a
small, struggling troop of well dressed young
men might have been seen lsisurely vending

the meeting portended. The accosted one
replied that he did not know what the other
fellows were doing there, at the same time
button holing his friend, and taking him aside
from the crowd he whispered into his ear :
. General, I'll tell you something, but don't
you repeat it. I've got an appointment with
a young lady here :" and drew note from
his pocket to convince his chum that he was
not exaggeratiHg. The other looked at the
note, his eyes growing as large as saucers, he
cried out loud enough to be heard by the
whole crowd, " Sold, by Joye; I've got one
