Your foot!' said the Doctor: well; I want no apol-days in their old house;" which he, good easy old man, full readily assented to, and very seriously asked her, "whom she would advise him to marry when she was gone. This was too much. "Marry the devil!" replied she in great warmth. "Marry the devil?

The pice is Two Dollars, per annum -distant subscribers, half yearly in ad vance, otherwise the papers will not be, forwarded to them, except where there is agents to collect the same It shall be delivered to subscribers, in the city, every Saturday, and forwarded}' to those in the country by the earkest conveyance... AS this number closes the 12th Volume of the Lady's Miscellany, the editor feels it his duty to address a few lines to his assistants and subscribers; and it is with the most lively satisfaction and gratitude, that he acknowledges a greater extent of patronage, from the ladies and gentlemen of this city, and other parts of the union, than he has hi therto met with in his editorial capacity. Those who are in the habit of conducting papers after the manner of the Mis. cellany, must be conscious that much of the success, depends upon the assistance of correspondents; in this particular the editor has no reason to complain, and he hopes he may not be charged, with egotism, should he venture to assert, that no weekly paper in this city contains more original inatter than the present volume of the Miscellany; and he takes this public method of tendering his sin cere thanks to those literary ladies and gentlemen, who by their productions, have contributed so largely towards the establishment, and he assures them that their exertions, in his favour, shall always be held in greatful remembrance. It is the intention of the editor to conti. nue the editorship of the Lady's Miscel lany, and that the 13th volume shall commence on Saturday next, with seve ral improvements upon the last plan---||ed to. and among the rest, the editor has it in contemplation, from time to time, to give an extra page of Music, in type, adapted to the Piano and German Flute; in fine, no pains will be spared to render the work a repository of instructive. amusement; and the editor respectfully solicits a continuarice of that patronage with which of late he has been honored. No, subscriptions will be received for less than half a year. Those who do not notify us of their intention to discontinue at the close of one volume, will be consi dered as subscribers for the next. Any person who shall procure seven subscribers, and become responsible for the payment, shall receive one copy gratis.
