readers may remember them, for they were
both remarkable characters, and great favorites with the public.

Dandy Dulcimer and Alley followed the example of their master and
mistress, and were amply provided for by their friends, with whom they
lived in confidential intimacy for the greater portion of their lives.

Thomas Corbet, his sister, and her son, disappeared; and it was supposed
that they went to America.

M'Bride, in a short time after the close of our narrative, took a relish
