The Trout—The Carp—The Goldfish—The Sunfish—The Pike—The Yellow Perch— The Striped Bass—The Shad.
FiaUes are vertebrate ovJparooB creatures, having a heart consiatiDg of one ventricle aud one auricle. They are capable of breath¬ ing water, their air-bladders petfdrming the datiea of lungs, and the gills of respiratioi;, The water taken in at the month', instead of entering the stomach, passes through the gill apertures and escapes, leaving behind the air contained in it, to act upon the blood.— Fish are of about the same specific gravity as the element in which they live, bnt by ineana ot their bladders, which they can di¬ late or contract at will, they vary theirgravi- ty, and descend or ri^e with the sama e£?o that a bird does by expanding er contracting its wings, aud are able to pass throngh the water with great rapidity, using as propellers members called pectoral, ventral, dorsal, and caudal fins. The bodies of a large portion of fisli are covered with scales, and their teeth are the organs of prehension.
I have eight ponds on my farm, all artificial and fed by springs; they are, with two excep¬ tions, fourteen feet deep, aud contain forty- five varieties of fresh and salt water fish; a portion of which, together with their habits, I intend to describe, and will commence with that most highly prized by sportsmen, the Trout (Salmo Fario).
TueTrodt is the only fish that comes in and goes out of season with the deer; he growa rapidly, and dies early after reaching his fall growth. The female spawns iu Oc¬ tober—at a different time from nearly all other fish; after which both male and female become lean, weak and auwholeseme eatingi aud, if examined closely, will be fonnd cov¬ ered with a species of clove-shaped insects, which appear to suck their sabatance from them; and they continue sick until warm weather, when they rub the insects off on the gravel, and immediately grow strong,— The female is the best for thp table. She may be known by her mall head and deep body. Fish are always in season when their heads are so small as to be disproportioned to the size of their bo.ly. The tnmt is loss oily and rich than the salmon; the female is much brighter and more beautiful thau the male; they swim rapidly, and often leap, like tho salmon, to a great height, when ascend¬ ing streams. When I first stocked my troat- pond, I placed fifteen hundred in it, and was accustomed to feed them with angle-worms, rose-bnds.crickeii, grasshoppers, &c., which they attacked with great voracity to tho amusement of those looking on. They grow much more rapidly in ponds tban in their native streams, from the fact that they are better fed and not compelled to exercise.— Trout are the only fish known lo me that possess a voice, which is perceived by press¬ ing, when they emit a murmuring sound, aud tremble all over.
Tnz CABp(Cyprinus Carpio).—Ot thia de¬ licious fish I have a great abundance; having obtained my original etock from Captain Eobinaon, of Newburgh, fourteen years aince. They breed twice each year, producing about forty thousand each time, and grow to the length of fifteen inches- I havo seen them on the banks of Lake C mo, in Italy, weigh¬ ing one hundred and seventy-iive pounds.— I feed themwithbread,and sometimes Indian meal. They oome up in great numbers at the ringing of a bell, and will eat out of my hand, and permit me to stir them aronnd without showing the least fear. They are very tenacious of life, and live a long time out of the water. I have crossed them with the gold fish, or Chinese carp, and produced a variety of colors. As soon as the ice forms In the fall, they disappear in the mud, and as they are not afterwards seen, probably re¬ main dormant in our cold climate all winter. In Prussia, Germany and Saxony, carp are cultivated flith great attention, and consti¬ tute a part of the revenue of the nobility.— There is no reason why they might not be made profitable here. Fish are Uke hens, in one respect, that is, tbey never depoait all their spawn at one time, but at several peri¬ ods, weeks ofteu intervening, according to ita i maturity. '
Tbe Gold Ftsu, (Cygn'nus Auratus,) or Golden Cahp, are the most beantifal and in¬ teresting fish iu my waters, where they are only kept as orn^jjMBis, as they are not cele¬ brated for t^^Tqualities as food. The ex¬ treme elegance of their form and scaly dress, aud the agility and grace with whioh they move through their native element, cause
aatia&oUon- I-have knowBt a .pickerel to awallow partially & fish too large for Ma throat and to carry it thus in hia mouth, until the portion swallowed was digertsd; ,he will like¬ wise eat poIaonouB flubatanoet without Injury to himself, having within him some antidote with whioh to counteract Ita evil effecta.— Thev never swim iu eohoola, as many other fish do, but keep aloof from eaoh other and like to be solitary and alone; tliey are not easily alarmed, and will never ran from a shadow, aa most fish invaribly will; they often stand unmoved until.I put my hand iu the water, and will then dart at it boldly, if in want of food. Their bite ia almost as ven- omua aa that of a serpent, and very difficult to cure. Pickerel are partioularly fond of frogs as food, but tho frog alwaya makes battle when the pickerel approach, and will sometimes mount npon hia head, where they become vory troublesome customers, plaoing their foreclaws iu the corner of each eye, and clinging with their hind legs. If this poaition is well taken it is utterly Impossible for the ¦pickerel to disencumber himself, until the frog Is willing to depart, wbich he usually consents to do when the fish approaches n^ar enough to the shore to permit him to leap upon it. Pickerel grow faster thau other ilsh in my ponds, making eight inohea the flrst year, ten the second, fourteen the third, and twenty the fourth. I am convinoed that an acre pond, well stocked with pickerel would yield more profit than a ten acre lot uuder ordinary onltivation. They are remarkably tenaceoua of Ufe, aiid live a long time after \ being taken from the water, aud will snap at any object presented. It attains a great age and immense size if unmolested and well fed.
The Yellow Pekch (^Perca Flavescens) is a bold iish of prey, aud like the pickerel, had a large month, Veil filled with teeth, a hog back, armed with two stroug, sharp fins, whioh makes him a formidable prey for other fiah. Hia outer covering consists of hard, .thick scales. Like the pickerel, he will eat his own progeny. As food he is considered more wholesome than any other fish. His growth ia slow, and he breeds but onoe a year. I have noticed one remarkable pecu¬ liarity connected with this fisli, and that is that if a dozen are found in a hole, they will all bite, one after the otber, and allow them¬ selves to be caught, being, like most men, unwilling to receive the experience of their companions They are gregarious daring neariy the whole year, and grow under favor¬ able auspices to a large size and elegant pro¬ portions. This fisii is Universally known throughout Enrope and this country,and the remarkable mauner in which its eggs have been distributed has led to cnrious hypothe¬ ses. Some years since I constrncted a pond, bnt did not put any fish iu it, and you may imagine my surprise when I found therein perch, sun-fish, eels, bullheads, shiners, tront aod sea-bass, without my agency, aud all within two years. Where did they come from ? Birds were the undoubted agents, and it is to them Lake Erie is indebted for the herring, striped rock, and white sea-baaa, and other fine fish. They havo diatribuled the eel throughont the known world, and frequently carry them alive, as it is well known that the gastric juice of birds is not sufficiently atrong to destroy the life of this serpent fish.
I have known perch to die in my pond from the bnrsting of their sound or air blad- dera, caused by loitering in shallow water for prey during an intensely hot day in August, and have in some instances saved their lives, when the bladder protrnted from their mouths, by plunging them into cold water the effect of which was a sudden condensa¬ tion ofthe air,
TjiE Stkiped Bass (Perca Lahax) is a aea fish chiefly found near the mouths of rivers and arms of the sea, where they remain more constantly than auy other ocean fish. They are readily known from the fact that tbey have eight parallel lines on the sides, like narrow tape; the scales are very large and lustrous, resembling, metal; the eyes are white , head long, and uuderjaw projects be¬ yond the upper; it is beyond doubt the most beantifal of all our native fishes. I have beeu enabled, after many fruitless attempts, to breed this magnificent fish in fresh water, where they have now become abundant; he is a bold biting fish, except in winter, when he becomes very abstemious, and will only bite in the middle of the day, wheu the weather is moderate, and continues to take the hook uutil the mulberry trees blossoms. The day before you intend to fish on bass, sink a glass bottle in the vicinity of their haunts, with small fish in it, covered with a piece .of pierced parchment or liuen cloth; this will attract them in large numbers, and by dropping your Hue in its vicinity, baited with similar small fish, you may take many of them. They swawn throughout March the female, followed by the male, opens a furrow in the gravel, and deposits her spawn; tho male follows, ejecting inilt upon it, and at the same time covers the furrow with hia tail.    This operation is performed with great
rapidity and in the most scientific manner
possible, .-JO much so that no trace of the fish is left behind to indicate that the gravel has
been moved.   This may justly challenge the
admiration ofall beholders.
The most interesting of all fish to me ia the
body of a shad when opened, and they never bite a baited hook.
Ihave frequently.noticed a fiSh'In the Nortb river, between the; ah^ and the her- nng,'amaller than the ahad but larger than a| herring, possessing the general'aharaoterls- tica of both; it asoenda the rivei' at the same time to spawn, and returns to tha ocean after having deposited its ova. .:¦-.'-

Idlb Cd-bjosity Cured —On his (Benjatnln Franklin's) flrat trip by land, to see'. his fa¬ ther in Boston, he was worried almoat to death by the abominable Inquisitiveness of the New England tavern-keepera.;   mI     ¦¦¦¦'¦¦¦¦
Neither man nor beast could travel among them in comfort. No matter' how ^et or weary, how hungry or thirsty, the poor traiv- eler might be, he was not to expect an atom of refreshment from tbe ailly publicans nn- j.tii their moat pestiferous curiosity was first gratified. And then Job himself could not stand auch queations aa thej would goad him with; auch as where he oame froin—and where he might be a-going-^and whiat reU gion he might ha of—and if he was amarried mau—and so on. After having been prodig¬ iously teazed in this way for several-days until at last the bare sight of a public house almost threw him into an ague, he determi¬ ned to try the following remedy at the very next tavem. Soon as he alighted from his horse he desired the tavern-keeper to col¬ leot bis whole family, wife, children, and servants, every soul cf them; for he had something vadly important to oommunicate. All being assembled aud wondering what he had to say, he thus addressed them : "My name is Benjamin Frauklin. I am a printer by trade, I live, when at home, in Philadel¬ phia. In Boston I have a father, a good old man, who taught me, when I waa a boy, to read my book and say my prayers. I have, ever aince, thought it my duty to visit and pay my respects to such a father; and I am on that errand to Boston now. This is all I oau at present recollect of myself that I think worth telling you. But if you oan think of anythiug else that you wiah to kuow about me, I beg you to out with it at once, that I may answer, and so givo yoo an opportunity to get me something to eat; for I long to be on my journey that I may return aa aoon as possible to my family and business, where I most of all delight to be.
Forty thousand sermona agalust idle curi¬ osity cottid hardly have dnvea it so effectu- ally out of New England as did this little squib of ridicule.— Weem^s Life of Franklin.

She echoed my thoughta. fier sen¬ timents were my sentiments. '*She, ofall the women iu the world,* thonghi I,'is the truekindredspirit I haye*be$n' longing to meet.' Her soolety seemed to improva and. Mev^ate me. 'What is Arabella Spots com¬ pared tb her V thought I. * Au Inexperienced chit—an uriirifdnned ohil'd.*       ,    .
"As our acquaintance progressed, she grad-. ually admitted ine into her confidence. She told me how ahe had been reared in a palatial borne, and aold at.a tender age, by mercenaiy parents, to a monater of a >usband: how tbat brute had outraged an^;betrayed her; how be had hated her for her very virtue, and persecuted her for her piety.; how,, after she had uncomplainingly endured years of indescribable horror, he had at length desert¬ ed her, and taken bimself off to California, leaving her only scanty meansof subsistance, what trials and temptations she had Bince been subjected to, and how. her immaculate virtue and unerring discretion had borne her triumphantly through all.
"'She is virtue itself!' thoaght I, 'Has Arabella Spotta ever been tested by such temptations f   Never.' " .
Here I again admonished Spooney to be concise. .    ¦
" One day, j ust after Frezzolini's debut, she casually mentioued to me that she was over¬ whelmed with invitations to the opera from Wagby, and Frizzle, and Blaser—three noto¬ riously rapid gentlemen iu the house. She had serious objections to going out with such persons—yet pho was ao fond of op«ra!

I bavo noticed that by a proper diet I can inoreaae the intensity of thoir color, change their ex¬ ternal characteristica, improve the rotundity of their from and add much to their size; and what is more surprising than all, those char, acters become hereditary iu their offspring.
The Sun Fisn are  known as the American Carp, though they will not intermingle willi eiiher of the other varieties, European  or Chinese, whii:b they mut;h resemble in habits with ono exception, and  tha  is,  they build ' nests in the gravel to deposit their ova, on which they watch witb unceasing vigilance^ and cannot be induced to leave even for food; when the other fish are eating bread in their immediato vicinity, they apperr to bo anuon- Bcious of the fact, and chase them if they happen to come too near their sacred charge, showing every indication of extreme anger,' by distending their gitl oovers, elevating their' fina, &c.
..Tub Pike (£soar Lucius).—I have a large pond devoted to  this fish, in which thty alwundto so great an extent, that l might supply half-a-dozen families the year round from it.    They are they the moat notoriously voracious fish in our fresh-water ponds, and . will devour young ducks, geese, rats, serpents and frogs; they have an amazing number o^ teeth, wbioh they uae in aacientific manner- These ferocious fish have become with me as docile IS dogs, and will assemble in numbers, when the small fry are  fed, to seize upon them, whioh they accomplisb ' in a masterly style.    Some naturalists declare that thia fish is of a spontaneous generation, deriving its origin from a weed known as the pickerel weed, and that pickerel are only found where this weed is kiiowii to exist    The faot prob-, ably is, that the weed, as well as the pickerel spawn attacbed to it, are carried from pond to. pond by the heron, or some flab hawk, ,   attaohed accidentally to their legs, or eaten aa food and ejected.
I have studied their habita with great in¬ terest, and find.they retire in pairs, about the ] Ist of April, and after swimming together, i without touching each other, for ^a day or so,, the female .deposits her spawn..in shallow . places, upon acqualic grass,. and, the - male following, fecundatea them with miltj which he deposits oyer them: after having'complet-
and national industry, and a miracle of Na¬ ture in its multiplication and 'continuance.— Notwithatandlng thousands of myriads  are deatroyed by the agency of man, and tens of thonsands of myriads iu  the ova state,  we fiud ao nndiminished abundance year after year, which  can  only be accounted for by their extraordinary creative  ability.   They spawn about forty-five thousand.   They have a peculiarly sloping head aud tapering body, projecting under  jaw,  sharp, amall teeth, forked tail, dusky blue color, with a line of dark round spots on each side, sometimes four and often ton  in number, aud I h^ive frequently seen them without any.    They asctiud the rivers fiom the Ist of April to the 10th of June, for the purpose of spawning, which thoy accompliab in the same mauner Ibat bass do, except tbat the male fails to cover the ova; thia  necessary operation is performed by the ebbing and flowing tide.— Tlie organization of thia  fish euables it to breatbe either salt or fresh water, atid taking advantage of this facet I have been  enabled to breed them in ponds, and from numerous experiments, aw led to believe that shad live but a 8int:Ie year, aud that when  they pass down onr rivers after spawning,- tbey are ao weak and emaciated that they fall an   easy prey to voracious fish.    Tfaey grow in a  sin- gl« season to weigh from five to eighVpounda; they appear, as well as the'hernng, to have been created to form the food of the' myriad inhabitants of the ocean.   They take,   like i the herring, (of which they'are erroneously ' called by. fiabermeu tho molhor,) the  circuit of the sea, oommoucing in the regions of the North Pole, in schopla equaling in extent the .whole of Great Britain aud France.   When . they reaoh. the coast of Georgia, they sepa¬ rate into immense squadrons, and aa the ocean advances, rnn up all the rivers on our coast, followed a littlo later by the herring.   Late writers question the migratory character o^ these flab, 'and suppose that tbey remain tbronghont the winter, in the iriost profound depths-of the ocean, burrowing ih the mnd. This is bad philpsoyhy, as they are not orga¬ nized for living in mud, and the structure of their air bladders prevents  them from sink¬ ing into deep.:water.   Their form indicate clearly too tbatthey weredesigned by uatur? toawim neanthe surface of the aea, and to be alway'a in motion.    I have had herring in.

The grass-widow (vidua graminea) is one of the most formidable and rapacious of birds of prey. Her natural food is man. The ori¬ gin of this word, ^ras*-widow, is doubtful, but probably refers to tho scriptural truism that all " Jlesh is grass," aud derives addition¬ al appropriateness from the fact that she usually Selects her viotims from among the greenest of the species.
The grasa-widow abjunds in New York, and makes her neat chiefly in boarding houaea and hotels. Indeed, she would seem to be a natural appendage to these establish¬ ments. Out of twenty-five boarding houses in which I have lived, twenty-two contained one or more grass-widowa. This choice of a dwelling-placo is doubtless owing to the fa¬ cilities it affords for her predatory operations; as boarding houses abound in men in tbeir most defenseless condition.
The grass-widow is rarely fwithout preten¬ sions to personal beauty; bnt, when this is lacking, she is seldom at a loss to supply the deficiency by a variety of ingenious arts, in which she is skilled. Her plumage is some¬ times sad-colored, but more often gaudy ;— and she devotes no end of pains to its decor¬ ation aud arrangement.
There is in the species a remarkable uni¬ formity of age. The grass-widow sometimes, confesses to thirty yeara, bnt is more usually twenty-five. One of them has, to my knowledge, been exactly thirty for the past twelve yeara. Auother was twenty-flvefifteen years ago, and I learned yesterday that she is now just twenty-flve.
The manner in which the grass-widow cap¬ tures her prey espeoially deserves uotioj.— She is usually partial to Young New York, which partiality doubtless results from the Burprisiug ease with wbich he ia taken— though it is by no means rare to see grizzled whiskers and bald heads among the debris of her victims. Having made her selection, abe proceeds to charm him by a process not unlike that which is usually supposed to be employed by some varieties of serpent. She flutters before his eyes, transfixes bim with her glances, and breathes such tones in bis ear as are adapted to complete the result de¬ sired, Wbetbor these notes are plaintive or gay, they bave tbe uniform effect of sending a strange thrill from the tympanum to the heart of the doomed individual, and incapaci¬ tating him for resistauce. The unauspecting victim acts aud feels as the little bird does when flattering straight iuto the jaws of the rattlesnake. He lends his efforts to precipi¬ tate his fate, and ends by placing himself at the mercy of his fair captor.
When this point is reached she seizes upon him, fixes her talons in his heart and her beak in his pocket, and, by a peculiar pro- ceas, drawa out the life-blood (a trite figure for " circulating medium") through that orifice. Holding him in this position, she bears him in triumph through the streets aud to places of amut^ement. She bleeds him publicly, at the theatre, opera, and concert, and along the carriage drives. I saw yonng Simple borne along Broadway the other day, by a veteran grass-widow, in the atitnde I have described—though the uuobaerving pnblio thought tbey were only promenading together. I saw several acquaiutaucea of mine thus exhibited at tbo Academy of Mnsic last night, in various stages of depletion.— They looked happy—poor fellowa !—aud ap¬ peared to enjoy the performance.
She continues this phlebotomizing process until—fortunately for her victim—i^he ia at- I traded frorn him by more inviting game, or ! until the last drop is exhausted, when ahe remorselessly leaves the remains to flud such burial as they may.
I met Spooney, at ¦ a late hour the other uight, striding aloug Broadway at a furious pace. By the lamp-light I aaw that his coun¬ tenance waa hagganl and his apparel seedy. I accosted him, and he only groaned. Obey¬ ing a benevolent impulse, I rashly invited bim iuto a aubterranean restaurant, and bade him " amile." He swallowed aateaming hot punch, aud groaned again. He then aeized me by the hand and drew me to a seat, d»«' daring he must "anb'oBom" himself tome. Spooney is equally unendurable to me^- whether cheerful or sad—whether his visage is Irrigated with stream.^ from his watiering eyes, or illuminated with hia sickly simper. I started to escape, but he button-holed me, aud iwas constrained tn listen.    ,. .
" Fodhammer," said ho, " just six months ago thia day I took up my abode at Mrs, Chickory'aboarding-bpuse. Then I was in¬ nocent aud bappy.

Here Spooney's emotion choked his utter¬ ance.
"Life is no longer endurable. Diagraoeand ruin stare me in the face. I must terminate my wretched existence. I hesitate only be¬ cause I cannot decide npon the best mode of doing so. ¦ I bave it,'.' "he oried, a glow of in¬ spiration lighting up bia oontenanoe. "My end shall be 'grand, gloomy and peoaHar,' and of service to mankind. Lendme^S. Iwill purohass a keg of gunpowder and a box of matches. I will ooavey tbe keg to the most elevated apot in that beaatifal and claasio region, the Central Park, take; my seat upon the head of it, and tonch a match to it. I will leave a last request to the commiasioners ; to erect on that spot a lofty granite monu¬ ment, bearing the device of a orushed apoon wreathed with graas, and this inscription: " ' Here perished, a wamijig to Young New York in all subsequent ages^Richard Spooney, ihe victim of a"Qrass-Wi4oiv.' "
N. B.—I conld not find it in my heart to refuae Spooney the loan he requested. To my surprise, however, 1 met him ou Broad¬ way about a week after, with a somewhat improved appearance. He explained that he had only been prevented from executing the above mentioned purpose by straying, in the darkness, into one of the pools that adorn that beantifal locsUty In the rainy season, and so dampening his matches that they could not be ignited. The dailies mentioned a keg of gunpowder found at the spot indi¬ cated, as an "interesting revolutionary relic."
Spooney has been generously dealt with by his creditors and employers, and still lives, "a sadder and a wiser man."
aeata. In the coarse of tbe evening ahe re¬ marked with a sigh that, in more prosperous daya she had always beeu accustomed to ber private box. The next day I subscribed for a box—a luxury I bad uever before dreamed of affording.
" Sho mentioned to me, one day, that Tan¬ dem, another rapid boarder with red whiskers and nose, who kept a blood horse and light carriage, was constantly urging her to ride out with bim. She said that she had, of course, declined; but added, with a sigh, that her health would be greatly benefited by a drive every day. I made it.my next care to pur¬ chase a horse and carriage that should eclipse Tandem's establishment.
"She informed me, soou after, that she had declined a valuable present of jewelry which Bullion, a wealthy widower in the house, had urged upon her, but that she could never think ff receiving presents, except from a re¬ lative or very dear friend. Thai day I spent my last dollar at Tiffany's, and was overjoyed at my purchase meeting with a ready accep¬ tance.
"Of course I need not tall you, after what I have already mentioned, tbat Mra. Belle¬ mode engrossed all my affections. Arabella Spotta, ou learning of this transfer of my re¬ gard, bad become engaged to another man.— Yea, I loved Mrs. Bellemode with all the fer¬ vor of a h*»art whose capacities of loving are beyond vulgar appreciation—a heart that contains untold, deptb.^ ot sensibility—a heart such as twata ouly in the bo.^om of a Spooney —a heart that——¦"
Here I again interrupted Spooney witb an exhortation to brevity.
"Mrs. Boileraode, for aomo time, tortured j me by avowing a persistent determination never to love again, and enlarged eloquently upon the advantages of a purely Platonic sentiment between us. By proper degrees, however, her resolution was melted iu the rising flames of her love and gratitude- At length, she raised me iuto full view of a heaven of happiness by promising me that when the cruel, procrastinating law ahould , have granted her the divorce for which sbe had long since applied, sbe wonld be mine.
"' If I only had $800,' sho sighed, 'how happy it would make me!'
"She explained that tbat sum was neces¬ sary to oover the expenses of the suit, and pay the debts already due to her lawyers.— Those mercenary creatures had positively re¬ fused to take fnrther steps In the oase with¬ out that payment; but had assured her that when it should be forthcoming, the divorce conld be immediately procured, and with it a snug fortune, which was bers ih her owu right, but had hitherto been looked up in litigation, would come into her possession.— That fortune would be amply sufficient for onr support.
"How could I resist that appeal?   Yet, I knew not how to obtain the money.    I had already squandered all my little capital up¬ ou her, anticipated my income, and become heavily burdened with debt.    I could not borrow it, as my credit was exhausted.   I sold  my carriage at a ruinous sacrifice—my horse had been stolen—and, by pawning my watch and wardrobe, raised five hundred dol¬ lars.   Three hnndred were atill lacking.

It is very beautiful, tbe history of the "Wife'a Mistake," and I have no doubt such cases are and such an example may be profit¬ able. But let me tell a tale on the other side.
My friend Merle Vernon was a bright, at¬ tractive girl, well educated and intelligent, and as good as ahe was Intelllg. nt. She mar¬ ried according to her choice. I might, if I had the power, and were inclined for a romance* instead of a straight forward story, tell of the first meeting, and the first impressions, aud the mutual attraction, and tbe conclusion to which she and Heury Dale were irresistibly

We have received several solutions of prob¬ lem No. 1, from Brecknock, neither of wh.ch is correct. The result, however, arrived at by his first solution, varies only a few ceuts from the answer.

Sometimes she invited friends to her bouse; but whon be either excused himself entirely, or submitted to the internp- tiou with a very bad grace, she gave up even that.

There are three delu¬ sions very common among mon, some tbiuk they are never going to die; others that they will certaiuly, some day or othor, become immensely rich ; others again requite hap¬ py aud contont with a firm faith in the im¬ maculate piety or tran^cendaut tabilities of some near frieud or relative, perhaps the last delusion is no worse than either of the others, but it is also none the less absurd.
