We think Mrs. Jones, by this time. must
have her scrap-book full Of recipes for cook
ing; perhaps she intends publishing book
for the benefit of some inexperienced house,
keeper. Without doubt Miss Tabitha has

A young lady-somewhat out Of her
"teens"-who has aided in marrying off,
no less than three sisters, has seen the full

a happy, useful and acceptable life. And

persuaded is correct. She would have the
proportion "eight pounds Of love and two
pounds of humility" and we opine that our
contributor "W." would not wish to be foul
times as humble as she is affectionate.-ED
