with his hand, "that's admirable 1 !could ma

for a night ; there is nothing en the fees of
mine." The watches were exchanged in an in
stant, and Tom, who would not wait a moment
longer, put off for fiord Circus, in a Matte of
intense excitement.
It stems that on the way Tom's excitement
became so overpowering that he was obliged to
fortify himself with two separate glasses of
brandy. He reached Col. Purdis's about six
o'clock, and in the 'wares of half an hour or so
found 'himself alone with Julia. Apprehensive
that if he lost this opportunity he might get aw
other that night, hp pulled out the watch and'
said :—"Getting late Julia, I must be of."--
"Late ! why, it is not seven yet." "Isn't it ?
Look for yourself," maid Tom turning the flee
of the watch towards her ; "ah t your watch is
not right ; look here." Julia looked Why it
is not seven on yours either." Dear me," said
Tom 'with an assumption of great ipmeaishmest
"neither is it. Pretty landsciipettliat f—this

Of this. however, I was ignorant, and called
next morning to ascertain how Imbed succeed
ed. Tom was out, and as I could not wait, I
sat down to scribble a note invitingiumupthat
night to tell me the result. I took his desk,
end was rumaging for a scrap of paper s /rhea
my eye fell on a sheet scribbled and blotted all
over s ith what I et once perceived to be Tom's
matrimonial proposals in verse. On the first
page he had collected a host of rhyming words
to he introduced as they might happen to suit
his turn There were bliss and kiss, sing and
ring, life and wife, and many other sentimen
tal monosyllables. Then there was Julia and
peculiar, with s query after it ; also Purdy with
sturdy, and hurdy-gurdy, but he had drawn
his pen through these. Ile had even attempted
Pigder, but apparently without success. On
the next page were his numerous efforts to put
these together after various models:—
"T e be or not to be, that as the quesUota."
Then a blank line ending with the word "di
