 money, by any means, but to buy nerself

 That f thought her beautiful is certain, for 

 that, I had always said, should be an indis- 

 pensable qualification , but i saw in her

conduct, of which 1 have said so muc^and I knocked up a dust with Spain about Noot- 



which has been oy far the greatest blessing 

 of my life. It was now dead ol winter, 

 an J, of course, tne snow several feet deep 

 on the ground, and tne weather piercing 

 coid. It was my habit, wnen I had done 

 my .n inning's writing, to go out at break 

 of day to take a walk on a lull, at the foot 

 of which our barracks lay. In about three 

 mornings alter 1 had first seen ner, I had, 

 by invitation to breakfast with me, got up 

 two young men to join me in my walk ; — 

 an 1 our road lay by the house of her father 

 an I mother. It was hardly light, but she 

 ■was out on the snow scrubbing out a wash- 

 ing tub ; " That s the girl for me," said I, 

 when we got out of her hearing. One ot 

 these young men came to England soon 

 afterward;? ; and he, who keeps u n inn in 

 Yorkshire, came over to Preston, at the 

 time of the election, to verify whe her I was 

 the same man. When he found I was, he 

 appeared surprised , but what was his sur- 

 prise, when I told him that those tall young 

 men whom he saw around me were the 

 sous oil hat pretty little girl that he and I 

 saw scrubbing out the washing tub on the 

 snow in New Brunswick in the morning. 

 " I'rom the day that I first spoke to her, 

 I never had a thought of her becoming the 

 wife of an other man, more than 1 had of 

 her being transformed into a chest of draw- 

 ers ; and I for ned my resolution at once, 

 to unity her as soon as we could get per- 

 mission, and to get out of the army as soon 

 as I could. So that this matter was, at 

 once, settled, as firmly as if written in the 

 bonk of fate. At the end of about six 

 months, my regiment, and I along with it, 

 were removed to Krederickstown, a dis- 

 tance of about one hundred miles up the 

 river St. John's; and, which was worse, 

 tbe artillery was expected to go off to Eng- 

 land a year or two before our regiment — 

 The artillery went, and she along with 

 them ; and now it was that I acted a part 



ka ouiiu. On how 1 cursed iSootka 

 Sound, and poor Pitt, too, 1 am afraid !• 

 At the end of four years, however, home I 

 came — landed at Portsmouth, and got my 

 discharge from the army by the great 

 kindness of poor lord Edward Fitzgerald, 

 who wa then major of my regiment. I 

 found my little girl a sen-ant oj all work, 

 (and hard work it was,) at five pounds a 

 year, in the house of captain Brisac, and, 

 without hardly saying a word about the 

 matter, she put into my hand, the whole of 

 my hundred and fifty guineas unbroken ! 



Need I tell the reader what my feelings 

 were? Need 1 tell kind hearted English 

 parents what this anecdote must have pro- 

 duced on the minds of our children? Need 

 I atempt to describe what effect this exam- 

 ple ought to have on every young woman 

 who shall do me the honor to read this 

 book? Admiration of her condnct, and 

 self gratulation on this indubitable proof of 

 the soundness of my own judgement, were 

 now added to my love of her beautiful per- 

 son. 



"Now, I do not say that there are not 

 many young women of this country, who 

 would, under similar circumstances, have 

 acted as my wife did in tins case ; on the 

 contrary, I hope, and do sincercely believe, 

 that there are. But when her age is con- 

 sidered — when we reflect that she was liv- 

 ing in a place crowded, literally crowded, 

 null uaily dressed and handsome young 

 men, many of them really richer and in 

 higher rank than I was, and scores of them 

 ready to offer ber their hand — when we re- 

 flect that she was living amongst young 

 women who "put upon their backs every 

 shilling they could come at — when we see 

 her keeping the bag of gold untouched, and 

 working hard to provide herself with bul 

 mere necessary articles, of clothing, and 

 doing this while she was passing from four- 

 teen to eighteen years of age — when we

 Rochester, having been appointed agents for the 

 sale of the a':» * e w a re , are now receiving an addi- 

 tional supply, which they ofter for sale at the man 

 ufacturers' price. 



This ware will he loiind not materially to exceed 

 in price Tin and Iron: yetae durabli as Iron, not 

 subject to rust; giving the article cooked or kept in 

 it no unpleasant taste, not containing in itself, nor 

 forming with the materials cooked in it, an} dele- 

 terious pro| erities, as do Copper, Brass or j,< .<d 



Zinc Kettles, for cooking Rice, Homminy. and 

 all kinds Sweel Meats, will be found well adapt- 

 ed, neither discoloring, nor varying theflavor ol 

 the substance cooked ; for these purposes, ami to 

 avoid the corrosions of ( op] it, 1 rass and Li.id, it 

 will long be substituted for these n etcls. 



Zinc Pans lor the Dairy, will be found an ob- 

 ject worthy ol attention from the following consi- 

 derations; that Milk in Zinc Pans of the same, 

 size, will produce from 20 to 25 per cent more 

 cream or butter, and that ol superior tlav or ; will 

 keep milk sweet longer by a number of hours, af- 

 fording the cream more time, besides its chymical 

 eliect, to separate from the milk, (for this reason, 

 cream from those puns will not admit 01 In in_' 

 chorned as soon as that from other pans, in as 

 much as no cream should I e churned till it is 

 soured, ) and greatly outlast any pans in use. 



Zinc Jars and Firkins for preserving butter 

 sweet for family use, possess equally superior ad- 

 vantage for butter, as do the pans for milk. Ex 

 periment and results sifely warrant the above 

 | statement; and the orders of wholesale and retail- 

 ling merchants as well as thosi ol families am! 

 large dairies daily supplying from different parts 

 of th' country, are the consequence of successful 

 results in the use of this ware.
