When the deign bell tinkleth she standcth at the window aud yearn<«fch for a beau; and whim he enrneth she doe.th up his purse. He wruppeth the buffalo robe adout her, and huggeth her much, and stayeth out beyond hi«< timu, . and- the livery man addeth four good dollors to his bill. In the evening he hieth hin>eU away to her fa niter's mansion. He goeth m and sitteth by the fire, and ore lie ifiiveth he popi>eth the question, and she jumjietb at the chance. He gelleth his license and goeth forth on the morning of his wedding day, and emplovelh a godly man to do the jod, ami when the sun getteth ho findetli himself a married man. Sfflnh! The robin rcsteth again, and he clothesh himself m sackcloth and ashes and runneth swiftly unto the gates and knockeib, and telleth the doctor that the wife of his bosom travaileth much, anJ rushcth back again. The old mother prophesyolh a boy, and he junipoth up and down and cracketh his heels together with joy : the doctor speuketh words of wisdom and cautioneth him not to ratify l>efore the returns are all in* The night weareth wearily on, and the young man waxeth impatient, but tho old lady speaketh words of cheer and prophesyeth yet again ; and he Irideitt his time and waiteth his reward. A cry smitteth his ear and the drum thereof, . and he hiteth l»ia lip and ktcketh himself again an the old woman poketh her head m the door aud birugeth tidings of two girls.
