anticipation Of the great good
that her beloved pupil would &C.
complish, il properly assisted in
the future, as he had been by heI
in the past. From casual remarks
CT hers, to very close friends it did
not seem impossible, that she
would be willing to continue as a
true helpmate in the work she had
so far done as a pious Christian
Sunady school teacher and Chinese
instructor. The Rev. Hi Long
seemed to appreciate her company
very particularly, and it was noted
with pleasure by this pious as
sembly, that his lecherous eyes
cast amorous glances at her ample
form, and that he Induced her to
give him once more one of those
delicious pious tete a tetes, as they
had been won't to have when she
was his teacher and he her raDt
pupil.
Miss Jemima Verycool, was an.
other Of the guests. She was the
only daughter of one of the richest
real estate owners on the north
side. She was only twenty, but
very decidedly self assertive, who
ruled her father and commanded
his purse. She dressed very ele-
gantly and spent her time and her
papa's money onthe most trivial
and useless things Imaginable. She
had her own carriage and her own
footman, very devoted to her and
silent in regard to all her whims
and escapades, "for consideration
of course"
She was one day driving along
when she saw small Chinaman
with the longest of ques and the
smallest Of felt footwear standing
at corner, waiting for car. She
declared afterwards, that he ap-
peared to her as the cutest, sweetest
little darling she ever saw of his
race. She ordered her carriage to
stop and her footman to bring
John Washee to her carriage; she
gave him her card and told him to
call for her at the Sunday school
of the Holy Amativeness on G..
street next Sunday. And when the
almond eyed son Of the Flowery
Kingdom presented himself there
on the following Sunday, she took
him under her particular care and
became his devoted teacher in that
holy institute.
When she heard of Mrs. Super
cilita Amalgam's proposed Jeopardy
and its object, she declared forth
with that II her particular pupil,
who was thanks to her very faithful
teaching, one of the four mission
aries, the Rev. Ho Ling, wanted
and needed a true faithful wife and
he1pmate, that she would marry
her sweet little darling as quick
as anybody else, for "she declared
he was just to sweet for anything"
So, on meeting her former pupil
at the Jeopardy, she took posses
sion OF him at once in her usual
off hand way, and Supercilita
Amalgam was delighted to notice
that apparently thus far her great
aim was nearing it's completion.
Next we must mention two twin
sisters Of uncertain age, but not
uncertain views in regard to the
possible chances Of getting hus-
band, no matter of what color or
race.
They were the Missis Battseba
and Della Hughem. They were
in possession of enough inner tied
wealth not to be compelled to live
useful lives, and were thereto re
acknowledged worthy members Of
the fashionable world, in which
they moved.
They subscribed to every fad
and fashionable absurdity, in or
out of the church ; to every vagary
or entertainment, that would
promise to bring them into the
society of that biped called "man;"
their whole wish and desire was
to get married, no matter to whom
and just this outspoken and al
ways displayed desire on their
part, their open avowal and scram-
BILE for man, had undoubtedly been
the very cause of them still being
in the state OF single blessedness.
While not having been private
tutors to some savory heather,
they were worshippers at the Rev.
Theophilus Buncombe's church,
and when the object of this tea
party became clear to them, they
saw here the chance OF their life.
time, as they thought, to get a
man. So they came dressed in the
manner calculated to please their
intended victims, willing to be led
to the slaughter themselves, and
their actions, words and general
behavior towards the distinguish
ed Mongolian Reverends spoke
volumes for the success Of Mrs.
Supercilita Amalgam's grand
scheme.
