epouser un homme age et riche.

Une demoiselle de 24 ans, jolie et d'une education distinguee, ayant
40,000 francs comptant, et par la suite 200,000 francs, desire epouser un
jeune homme aimable, et ayant de la fortune.

Une demoiselle de 19 ans, sans fortune, mais jolie, aimable, et bien
elevee, desire epouser une homme age, et assez aise, pour pouvoir faire
quelque bien a sa mere.

SONG.

Oh, silent was her grief and woe,
No tear her eye betray'd,
When Damon from his Anna fled,
And took some other maid!
But, ah, her bleeding heart did tell
What outward show denied;
For at that simple word, "Farewell,"
She bow'd her head and died!

With this beautiful ringlet to part;
That should I restore you the _lock_ of your head,
You will give me the key of your heart.--_Atlas._

there was any necessity to go backwards and forwards _for their orders_,
he could trot down as fast as any member of parliament in the kingdom."
