His business qualities wou't let him "wait;" so off he travels, and calling upon a lady friend, opened the convrsation by remarking that he would like to know what she thoug about his getting married.

Jjvery seat was occupied, and, as he turned to leave, a lady left her seat, and taking the venerable gentleman by the arm, said, in a low, sweet voice, "Pray, be seated, sir : take my place.
