another pipe, and the second daughter was
brotighl-in, to whom he addressed himself
as to the former, and also allowed her an
hour’s time to consider of it. Yon may be
sure, during this short interval, the father
and motherworked up the girl to say yes,
as plain as if she had been in the church.—
The time being elapsed, the parson was im
patient to go home—wife or no wife, he was
indifferent. The second girl was now called
in, and the parson asked her whether she
had considered of the matter? She answer
ed “Yes.” “Then will you have me for a
husband?” She answered “Yes.” “ Ve-y

the original settlers, the nobility a* it were,
the ancient families, and like the great peo

part the narrow minded arid stupid, the worst

they are the people of yesterday, the terras

wealthy and the most enterprising persons
in the island. But the Sixties will not as

FROM THE GLASGOW MAGAZINE.
Curious Account of a Courtship and Mar
riage of a Clergyman. Mr. B., though
possessed of ' considerable estate, lived
w ithout thought of marriage, till the age of
fifty years; at which time one of his parish
ioner? put him in thoughts of matrimony.—
Hi said he had been so intent on his studies
that he never thought of a wife; but that
Bow, if he could find out a good one, he
would marry. The gentleman told him,
such a person, about twelve miles off, had
three daughters, either of whom would
make him a good wife, but their fortunes
were but small. The parson said he knew
the gentleman very well, but did not know
the daughters; and as for money, that was
a thing he did not value. The parson in a
short time, gave the gentleman a visit, who
made him very welcome, not knowing the
design of his coming—but the parson told
him that he heard he had three daughters,
and that one of them would make him
good wife : the gentleman replied, he had
three daughters, and that he hoped they
would prove to the satisfaction of any per
son who should marry them, adding, that
either of them was at his service. The par
son said they were all alike to him; but
since : t was usual to marry the eldest first,
he would take her. The gentleman replied
with all his heart; upon which the eldest
daughter was called in. The parson, sit
ting in his chair smoking his pipe, told her
he had heard she would (riake a good wife;
the young lady, surprised, told him, she did
not know that, but that she would endeavor
to be a good wife to any one that should
marry her. The parson put the grand ques
tion whether she wofildhave him! She told
him matrimony was a thing of such mo
ment, as required a great deal of considera
tion, and riot to be so speedily determined
on. He told her his studies would not al
low him a long courtship—and pulling out
his watch, laid it on the table, and told her
he would give her one hour’s time to con
sider of it.—Away goes' the girl—but be
Heftfng it tabe a banter, she passed few
thoughts on the subject. The parson look
, ihg on his watch, and finding the hour had
expired, he desired the young lady might be
tailed in. When she came, the parson
showed her the watch, telling her the hour
was past, and that he.hoped she had con
sidered of what he had spoken of—she told
him, that it being a matter of such great
consequence, it required much longer time
than he had allowed for that purpose. The
parson hereupon began to pet, and told her
father, hefoimd she did not choose to have
him, and therefore he desired his horse to
hebrought, for he must be going home.—
The gentleman pressed him to stay a little
longer, withal telling that though the
therefore, he could not marry them till they
had got another license. Parson B
said he could not defer it any longer, and
therefore, he would have it despatched some
how or other—and told them it was all one
to him, which of them ne had. He went
to the eldest, and asked her whether she
would marry him? And, she having by this
time, considered the point, answerq^, “Yes”
and so they were married.
From church they went home to their fa-.
thdPs house, and saluted her for the first
time*, After he had bid her welcome, and
they had set about half an hour, the parson
c'&tfe the old maid, and bid her J>ring the
j spinning wheel, and told his wife he did uot
j doubt but she was a good house-wife, and
knew how to make use of that instrument;
she told him yes; he then tells her he ex
pected she would work while he was at
work, and no longer; So away goes he to
his study, and Mrs. B— 1 — to the spinning.
About an hour after, he comes down and
tells her she must leave work, and bids the
old maid got supper ready- ‘ After they had
supped, he goes again to his study, and she
to her wheel. When he returns lie tells
her she must now IqaVe work. After a
short discourse he went to prayers with the
family, and then ordered the old maid to
light her mistress up stairs, and put her to
bed.
Away goes Madam Bride to bed, without
the ceremony of eating sack-posset, or
throwing the stocking—and, as soon as she
went to bed, in comes the parson, and to
bed goes he: But sitting up in it, he bids
the maid bring him a little table, a great can
die and such a book from the study—which
she did, and the parson fell a reading, upon
which the bride called to the maid; the
parson asked her what she wanted? She
told him something: The maid coining, bid
her mistress speak to her, who desired her
to bring up the spinning wheel, and a great
candle in the long candle-stick—which the
maid having done, Mrs. Bride went to
whirling it about as hard os ever she could
drive—at which the parson could bardlv
forbear bursting out into laughter .and find
ing that spinning and reading did not agree
well together, he put out his candle and lay
down.
The next morning he told her he found
her a wife of very pliable temper—and that
for the future, she might work or play as
she pleased—that he left alj his temporal
concerns to her management—and they
lived a happy couple till death parted them.
W himsical humors are uneasy companions—
but life is attended with a mixture of plea
sure and pain: It is, therefore^ prurident to
overlook a few imperfections, rather than
lose the most essential comfort of a mar
ried life—peace and harmony.

Tobacco.—When every shop-keeper had
a sign hanging out before his door, a Dealer
in Snuff and Tobacco on Fish-street Hill,
London, carried-on a large trade, especial*
ly in Tobacco, for his shop was greatly fre
quented by Sailors from the ships in the ri
ver. In the course of time, a person ofthe
name of Farr opened a shop nearly opposite,
and hung out his sign inscribed “ The
best Tobacco by Ikrr.” This (like the
Shoemaker’s inscription, “ A-dam Strong
Shoemaker,” so weft known) attracted the
attention ofthe Sailors, who left the old
shop to buy “ the best Tobacco by far.”—
The old shop-keeper, observing that his op
ponent obtained much custom by his sign,
had anew one put up at his door inscribed
“ Far better Tobacco than the best Tobac
co by Farr.” This had its effect; his
trade returned, and finally hi3 opponent was
obliged to give up business.

Italian Lovers—A letter from Milan,
gives the following account of a double sui
cide, which has recently taken place in that
city.—The circumstance has created a ve
ry deep and general' .sensation in a country
where self-destruction is of very rare occur
rence.
Marco Uronn, a shopkeeper of Milan,
married his daughter, Loadina, about three
years ago, io a' young man named Teranza,
who was his ward, and who was like him
self, engaged in trade. Laodina brought
her husband two children: she was equally
remarkable in the neighbourhood for her
modesty and piety as for her beauty. In
crossing the Piazza del Duomo, she was
pointed.out to me as one of the prettiest of
the rich shopkeeper’s wives, who still perse
vered in the old custom of passing a part of
the day behind their counters; I never af
terwards failed,.when in that neighbourhood,
to stop before the shop windows, and en
deavor to catch, through the shawl3 and
muslins exposed in them, a glimpse of her
charming face. Laodina was of middle sta

what he thought, and declined prescribing,
thinking it unnecessary. “ Now you are

to you, Sir Richard, if you will tell me £ow

“ My directions as to that point,” replied
Sir Richard, “ wall be few and simple. You

A Little Rogue Detected.—On Friday
last, says the Easton Md. paper, in this
county, a very singular theft was commit
ted—the circumstances are as follows :—
A lady had her infant’s caps washed, and
hung in the garden to dry ; for security they
were tied together by the strings—at noon
when the servant maid was sent to bring^
them in, one was missing and it was evident
some arch rogue had untied the strings.
The garden was searched and re-searched,
but no cap was to be found; late in the af
ternoon the husband of the lady, as he was
sauntering in the garden, espied, suspended
in the limb of a Walnut three, a bird’s nest
which he knew to be that of a Baltimore
(a bird so called) and saw attached thereto
something very white, which struck his at
tention and called for the ladies of his fam-.
ily to view the singular looking nest—a so*,
vant was sent up the tree and with the as-'v
sistance of a fish gig, the nest was taken
down, when behold they found the cap;
the strings of which were with great inge
nuity interwoven in the nest.

to be liberal, all of a sudden impoverishes
the rich,—so that instead of lessening the
poor, such a demand strangely increase?
