the disappointment ; but, upon recollecting that he had an- 

 other string to his bow, desired the young fellows to wait 

 a little while, and swearing he would not go home with- 

 out a wife, he rode about six miles and brought in bis o- 

 ther sweetheart ; they went to the minister, who, upon 

 reading the licence, told the groom that the name in the 

 licence was not the same as that of the girl, and that 

 there must be some mistake. " I know that well enough, 

 says the groom ; there is no mistake ; this is not the same

TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



Thi: query by a constant reader, /hill have a place as soon as pofsible. 



The affecting verses by Elvina are received, and fliall have a place with 

 the first coi've ncy. 



Thp communication by H R. has been accidentally too long overlook- 

 ed. The vers' s, consider ng ''he situation ofthe composer, are surprising. 

 Th' gr^acest taulc is their length; we will try to find room for them. 



Phildogui (h 1! have a pi 'ce in his turn. 



The tc-:.gmen- by D. P. R. S. -s received and fliall be admitted. 



The Editor s much obliged to Cosmogony Secundus; his communication 

 /hall be atvended to. 



The Tunr IS received. The attempt is not without merit ; but it 

 beavs so near a resemblaice to a noted tory, and is so much inferior to 

 that in point of composition, that th" parallel, which almost every reader 

 must involuntarily mike, would prove disadvantagfous to the writer. 

 Perhaps at a futuie period, with a little more originality, he may succeed 

 better. 



The communication by Pbi/a Moris is too long, and in other respects 

 not suitable for ihe Bee. Perhaps time and experience may enable this 

 writer also to do beaer. But e has many steps to advance before he 

 could, with propriety, appear in public, in good comoany. 



If we th iught the country school-master would ue effectually attended 

 to, his paper Ihould be admitted. But as this is not to be expected, 

 and as it could prove little interesting to most of our readers, we beg leave 

 to decl'ne insertirg it. 



The remarks on Young's tctir in France, by an old correspondent, are 

 thankfully received, and Ihall be duly adverted to. As also the hints by 

 Eiographicus, 



The hints by Rondo fliall also be attended to ; and if the subject be not 

 soon treated by some correspondent, some remarks upon it ftiall be offered 

 by the Editor.
