ed forth upon the daughter* of the land*
ami marked tlioir looks, their winks artd
"luilos. About this time, Jorushu Day
was bursting intd very womanhood. Jo*
rusha wan the daughter ofa.judge, of ro
presentati vc and * senator; that t$ to any,
her fathnr had served hi# country in all
these capacities.It is true that Howard
wm (i farmer andb bit of agreed maker;
and she was the daughter ot ejodn? in
the land; but in this fine country, if the
one ha* a snug little farm* * good orchard,
ami 11 tolarablo.par*e; and the other, a le
gacy of 600dollar*, a bright eye, a idea'
?leg figure, and withal a knowledge of ma*
Itlng Indian puddings, there is nothing in
the law .or the constitution to prevent th*q?
from coming ranal/jf. together, a* Darn*
nay*. Now Howard, the reftdmaker, and
Je'rmdia. the senator'a daughter, wert in
this predicnment esactly; U hen the bud*
btfgan to put themselves forth in 1824.
Howard looked et Jerusha, and behold!
he felt hi* heart put forth the bud? ot hope
ami warm desire. When the bird* began
lo chirp and siog from branch to branch in
the pleasant groves of Wrentham in the
spring of the same year, rosy Jerifsha rel
turned, the took oT Howard, and gave i
height ho] for a husband. ?
The billiug and cooing went on in thif*
manner lor some lime, and the friends of
both purlieu looked on the prospect with
plea*ure. But alas! the ops nod down* of
love are even more numerous than the
rlixnge* of tho weather during the pre*c?>t
winter in New-YorV.. J?rush-? heard con
cerning Howard the story or the three
bhtck crow*, and forthwith ?he banished
the reed mnkpr Irom Iter pretence How
ard then turned aiyay from his purmline,|
and wpnt n ploughing, n towing, and *

yonM. which reached lite clone of 1IMM,
the story of the throu black crows, by
which we meat) to itpply bitd report* of
| Howard's character became quite clear to
i Jerutha. Hereupon the took p?tn, ink
I and paper, and wrotp him a long teller
about heart*, and hantls, and conscience,
awl interests, and a great nvmy othorfliiu
things, the end and scoping of which were
that she would -like to see Howard once
more. Upon thin the tighing swain Hung
HWay his reeds, shaved 1ii* heard oft,
?va*hed his face, and pnl on hi* licit bid and
tucker* and started off to see her. Oh!
the sweets and thefcighs, and the renewed
protestations of the two lovers then. Now
it was, that sturdy preparations were made
for the married state. Jeru?hn put her
hand into her pocket, and pulled out the
four hundred dollar legacy to purchase the
odds and ind* that were wanted. The
muslins and the cambrics for the bride?
the kettles and pan* for the kitchen?th*
carpets for the parlour?the China cups ta
drink the hyton ont of^-the tables, spoon*
ami chairs?all those were bought by the
legacy. * - -V .
