No sooner was the resolu- tion formed than it was put in practice, and gelling out his cane, he speedily reached the dwelling of his mistress. It chanced to be Monday morning, a day which my New England readers need not be told is better known in the household as washing-day. Un- conscious of the honor which was in- tended her, the lady was standing be- hind a tub in the back kitchen, with her arms immersed in the suds, busily engaged in an occupation, which, to say the least, is much more useful than romantic.

An indecent newspaper, published in New York, has been seized by the police, and the parties concerned in its publication arrested. The subscription list, containing about 3,000 names, was also seized, and is to be published in full.
