"Merrits and vuttues such as his coodnt long pass unperseavd in the
world. Admitted to the most fashnabble parties, it wasn't long
befor sevral of the young ladies viewed him with a favorable i; one,
ixpecially, the lovely Miss Hemily Mulligatawney, daughter of the
Heast-Injar Derector of that name. As she was the richest gal of all the
season, of corse Frederick fell in love with her. His haspirations were
on the pint of being crowndid with success; and it was agreed that as
soon as he was called to the bar, when he would sutnly be apinted a
Judge, or a revising barrister, or Lord Chanslor, he should lead her to
the halter.
"What life could be more desirable than Frederick's? He gave up his
mornings to perfeshnl studdy, under Mr. Bluebag, the heminent pleader;
he devoted his hevenings to helegant sosiaty at his Clubb, or with his
hadord Hemily. He had no cares; no detts; no egstravigancies; he never
was known to ride in a cabb, unless one of his tip-top friends lent it
him; to go to a theayter unless he got a horder; or to henter a tavern
or smoke a cigar. If prosperraty was hever chocked out, it was for that
young man.
"But SUCKMSTANCES arose. Fatle suckmstances for pore Frederick Timmins.
The Railway Hoperations began.
"For some time, immerst in lor and love, in the hardent hoccupations
of his cheembers, or the sweet sosiaty of his Hemily, Frederick took no
note of railroads.
