itary and naval men. Fond of
hares and trout. Has a great objection to waltzing. Aunt to No. 14. A
prudent man might easily widen the breach between them. Attends
Bible-meetings and charity-schools. Lame of one leg.

No. 61.

_Fortune_.--An only child; father a widower, with landed property to the
amount of 1,500_l_. per annum, and 40,000_l_. in the Three per Cents. It
is possible he may marry again, but it is hoped that this may not occur.
The daughter lives with a maternal aunt.

_Person_.--A decidedly handsome brunette. Tall, and well made.

_Non-essentials_.--Charitable almost beyond her means; from which, and
her wishing her father to marry, she is supposed to be extremely weak.
Temper excellent; said to be well educated, but of too retiring a
disposition to allow of our discovering the fact without more trouble
than the matter is worth.

_Miscellaneous Information_.--Fond of the country. Goes twice to church
on Sundays; but this affords no opportunity to a lover, as she never
looks about her. Has an uncle a bishop, which may recommend her to a
clergyman.

Every person who has directed his attention to the subject, must
perceive at a glance the immense utility of a work of this nature,
conducted, as it will be, by men who pledge their characters on the
correctness of the information they convey. When a bachelor decides on
marriage, by running over a few pages of our work, he will, in half an
hour, be able to select a desirable match; by applying at our office,
and giving testimonials of his respectability, he will receive the
lady's name and address; and he may then pursue his object with a calm
tranquillity of mind, a settled determination of purpose, which are in
themselves the heralds and pledges of success. Or, should he meet in
society a lady who pleases his taste, before resigning himself to his
admiration, he will make inquiries at our office as to the number under
which we have placed her in our list; and should she be of too little
value to deserve a place in it, he will vigorously root her from his
imagination, and suffer himself no longer to hover round her perilous
charms, "come al lume farfalla."--_New Monthly Magazine_.

LONDON LYRICS.--TABLE TALK.

To weave a culinary clue,
Whom to eschew, and what to chew,
Where shun, and where take rations,
I sing. Attend, ye diners-out,
And, if my numbers please you, shout
"Hear, hear!"
