The Col. says it is iurtnit we live in a -intellect tooal age which wouldn't couutenaifce such infanius things as occurred in this Tower; I'm aware that it is fashin'ble to -compliment this age, but I ain't so clear, that the Col. is altogether right. This is aWerv re sectable age, but it's pretty easily ' riled; and eohsideriu upon how slights nrovvca- tion we who live in it go to out tm each other's throats, it may perhaps be doubted whether our iutellecks is so much massiver than ouraiwestors' intellecks was, after all. -I alius ride outside with -the cabman; I am of humble .parentage, but I have (if you will permit me to say so,) the spirit of7 the eagle, which chafes when shut up in a tour-wheeler, and I feel much eagler when I'm in the O.IleU air. : S?r n 1 1 I lia nuimin All . vu: I11VI lllll 4 winch I went to -the mooseum I lit a pipe, uud callm a cab, I told the driver to take me there.as quick as his iVrabian charger could go.

Mrs. N however, is a stunner a little bit manny, but a magnificent creature, and drives heir phaeton well, though she does hold the reins a little too tightly, perhaps. Imagine, then, if you can, her indignation when she heard for tho ' first time that Mr. N had accepted nn invitation to up at Brown's, a jolly fellow, of his bachelor days - .
