Three of this description wero ready, before three months of tho lady's widow liood expired, to throw themselves at her feet, and possess themselves of her fortune. One, a bluff, burly major of fifly-fuur, at tempted to storm tlio citadel with Ins l.imily connexions and a wooden leg ; but tho simper ing lady offorty-six mincingly told him she did not intend to marry her grandfather. Tlio , bluff major stumped downstairs with consid- crablo emphasis, and forgot to give the smiling i footman tho fee which ho had learned to expect from all his mistress's suitors. It is a common thing to accuse clergymen of marr) ing for money ; the taunt is not justified by my own experience ; there aro few in that class of society who havo enough to support a respectablo appearance, still fewer who aro wealthy. It is to bo hoped that no Christian ' pastor would engage thu alfections of a young ' worn in only to steep her to tho very lips iu poverty that worstoi' povertics,CHcf7 porcrtv ; and if a gentleman have but a small incino, it j is only just ho should seek for a companion whose dowry would add to their mutual income. This is but just; yet the reproach is heaped upon them, and it is thought a witty thing to i jest at a poor parson and a black coat. It is as well to record that Mrs. Cavendish Jones , had but one clerical lovor, and, as ho never ' officiated, there is little necessity for consid ering him as a rovotend. Ho was "burly and big ;" and tho lady having, in her heart of hearts, resolved to have no one who was not pale and interesting, dismissed him with very little coquetting. The fact was, she had made up her mind to 1 marry the handsomest man in the neighbour hood an artist, who having, according to his own belief, taken his art unto himself for a bride, nevor wasted a thought upon tho widow.

Thus we may set) what it lakes lo In a short timo circumstances made it no- ' mako an "old granny," and now this same "old cessary for Mr. Urandon, who had entertained granny" is before the people whom be ban so any passion rather than lovo for tho widow, to long ami so i.ullilully suncd, nn.i li.i iwn depart abruptly for Italy, Tho consequence was, that Sirs. Cavendish Jones had a fit of hysterics, and a determined aversion to painters. SO.MK INCIDENTS IN TUB LIFU OF AN "OLD GRANNY." One ofthe arguments by which a certain class of politicians attempt to put down every man who has passed the meridian oflife, and is titer foro supposed by somo less informed persons to bo worthy of greater respect, is that he is an "old granny." Wo propose lo relate a few incidents in tho life of an "old granny," who seems to bo particularly obnox ious, at this time, to tho class of politicians ro ferrcd to. In tho years 1771, 7.1 and 70, there was an "old granny," named Henjam'm Harrison, who was a member of Congress, and afterwards Governor of Vircinia : he was ono of fifiv.six "old grannies" who s gned tho Declaration of asti onauio to a. iiuie ; t .us ten saer.l.c.ng Independence; ho .lied, leaving but little prop- ,:i lb il!'J'"c!l.l l "bole .
