THE LIFE OF DR.. RAFFLEs, of Liver
pool, has the following: "a young
lady, the daughter of the owner of the
house, was addressed by a man who,
though agreeable to her, was di5liked by
her father. OF course, he would not
consent to their union, and she determ-
ined to elope. The night was fixed, the
hour came, he placed the ladder to the
window, and in few minutes she was
in his arms. They mounted double
horse, and were soon at some distance
from the house. After while the lady
broke silence by saying, We'll, you see
what proof l have given you of my
affection l hope you will make me a
good husband He was surly fellow,
and gruffiy answered, Perhaps I may,
and perhaps not She made him no
reply, but after silence of some min
utes suddenly exclaimed, 'Oh, what
shall we do? I have left my money
behind me in my ROOM Them said
he, we must 90 back and fetch it,
They were soon again at the house,
the ladder was again placed, the lady
remounted, while the ill-natured lover
waited below. But she delayed to
come, and so he gently called. Are
Won coming q when she looked out OF
the window and said, Perhaps may
and perhaps not; and then shut down
the window, and left him to return
upon the double horse alone"
