Some said that he had been arrested

Mrs. Jenkins received them with
her usual affability, Indeed she was

their manner, bit es - pelf:illy in their

be solemnly impressed with the im

opened her mouth speak, all eyes
were fixed upon her in eager expec

some casual rem'ark ' , as far as poisi
hie from the subject of their thoughts,
their disappointment was evident.
But the widow seemed to be quite
unconscious of all tide:* She looked,

was expected to clear up.
The afternoon wore slowly away,
and Mrs. lenkins led her guests out
to the - supper tible, whose bountiful
ly spread broad seemed to have a be.

was provided.
And as they Seated themselves
round it and sipped the fragrant nee
tar, vulgarly called tea, their hearts
began to expand under its genial in
fluence, and they all commenced with
one accord, to praise the, light and
crisp biscuits, the spicy loaf cakes, the
delicious eustards and preserves, &e 4
-which they severally declared
were the best they bad ever: tasted.
All of which were made by the small
white hands of their hostess, who was
a notable little , housekeeper, and
though she kept one , servant, general
ly spent part of each morning in the
kitchen.
The pretty widow bore,her honors
very meekly; though she did not in
accordance with a timehonored cue
torn, declare:ghat there was -nothing
on the table fit to eat, and that she
was, really afraid *that none of them
would be able to Make out a supper.'
But the supper, like all sublanary,
joys came to an end at last, and the
whple party - adjottrned to the parlor.
As soon
,as they had seated themselves'
deep silence 'reigned,' for they per:
aeleed by the widow's look and man
nerthat she Was about to speak.

Five peas sat in a pea-shell.. They
were green and the shell was green.
Therefore they thought the whole

they were about right. The shell

could accommodate themselves , very
well to their narrow house, and sat'
very happily- together, all five in a

so clear that you could see through
it. It was very warm and pleasant •
in there, clear by day and dark by
night, just-as it should be.- The five
peas grew very fast, and became more
