what is the nsh of being richeithan enough ?"
The site chosen for the cottage overlooked•
the bread, bright river, where high palisades

castle. Fritz -Said he would make a flower
carpet on the rocks, for the !goat to browse
-upon ; and if a stork would clime and build a
nest on his thatched roof,' he could fancy him
self in Germanty. At times, the idea of import
ing storks creased his mind; but his good

When the house and Darn }'ere completed,
the first bbject was to seduce honest, industri

heard of a cotnpany of etpigrahts who wished
to sell themse)ves for a specified time, in order
to pay their passage; and heJnrent on board
the ship to sett them. A: bald man, who said'
he was - about Ittlixty - years, old, with a wife some
